A Study in Electricity.
The mysterious power made to do all sorts of
things at the Y.M.C.A.

The front parlors at the Y. NJ. C. A.
last evening looked some like be-
hind the scenes atIIanlon's Fantas-
ma. Louis Williams gave very in
teresting electrical entertainment.
Some of the experiments we're prac-
teal and some were merely for
amusements. An electrical alarm
clock for domestic purposes was
one of the unique features. 1t rang
bell at getting up time, started the
tire fifteen minutes later, and kicked
the old man out of bed at the expi-
ration of another fifteen minutes.
Electric bell chimes, electric piano,
electric fireworks, electric umbrella
and a dozen and one other things
were shown and explained during
the evening. The entertainment was
a pleasing one.-Davenport Repub-
Ecan.

ton township, Cass county has just
been decided by the State Supreme

Surveyor. In 1899 he. was appointed
commissioner, by agreement, to
establish the true line which he un-
dertook to do and in that same year
filed his report with the court, in
favor of the defendant The plain
tiff not being satisfied with the de-
cision filed a motion to set aside the
report and name new commits
sioner The motion was over-ruled
by the court when the plaintiff APP
pealed to the upper court with the
result above noted.-Su from

The Isthmian Canal" is the sub
ject for discussion, on next Satur-
day night. by the members of the
Y. NJ. c. A at their rooms, corner of
Washington and Park streets, in
this city. This subject is one of
great interest at this time and is
talked about and discussed more or
less in every city, town and hamlet
in the United States. There are
three routes looked over but only
two seem to occupy the special at
tention of members of congress,
viz: The Panama route, already
partially completed; the Nicaragua
route, the longest of the three which
if accepted will take two years of
preparation before shovel full of
dirt is thrown out. The San Bias
route is the shortest of them all and
if opened up would come the near
est being on from ocean to ocean
level. The question will be ably dis
cussed from every side and phase
as this association has some very
able debaters. Everybody is invit-
ed to be present and help in making
this the most interesting of all the
meetings yet held. Each member
come without failand bring friend
with you.
