journed till this evening to again
take up the subject.
President George H. Kingsbury re-
ported the conference that the Off
GERS of the association had had with
the agent of the company, II. l.. Low
EFT, who was here a few days ago.
Fifteen Separate Shows.
The attractions offered number 10
separate shows and 10 free acts. An
500 feet square is required
to put it on and the merchants were
asked to furnish the place and ar
range for its lighting, attend to the
and other details; in
short, accept the management of the
affair, receiving percentage of the
receipts.
The ordinary expenses of putting
on the show will be less in this city
than in many other places, owing TO
the fact that the Twelfth street base
ball park will furnish the required
of room and can be had for
that week, because the baseball sea-
son will then be ended.
No Objectionable Features.
The company carries - carloads of
effects and 300 people, and il is rep
resented as entirely free from the
features that usually
characterize street fairs. \ number

view of the existing complications
and the further fact that the county
and city authorities are now
wrestling with the problem involved,
it was deemed nnwise by the majorii
~ of those present for the associa-
ton to take any action, and after
short discussion, in which the opin-
ion of the members became plain.
the subject was dropped by common
consent.

that the people of Elgin are planning
to entertain the visitors in royal
fashion.
A band has been engaged to play
during the day at Lords park, and
at 2:3O in the afternoon Mayor Price
will deliver an address of welcome
at the same place.
Free Refreshments for Visitors.
The Woodmen of the city have
agreed TO throw open their hall to the
people from this city and serve free
refreshments during the day. The
street car company will have special
trains at the depot to take the ex-
cursionists to- all parts of the city
as soon as they arrive, and special
hours have been arranged for the
reception of sightseers at the various
places of interest about the city. In
short, it appears that those who go
on to Chicago will be the losers in
passing up the city at which the eX-
cursion will terminate.
Keeps Hands on.
The attitude of Milan in regard to
the collection of tolls at the Rock
river bridges and the street car SER
vice from Sears, as evinced in the

Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts of beautiful
creatures. but the account is far more
than balanced by the amount Of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case Of the bee. The bee
lives by its tongue, with which organ
1t is able to extract the ho@cy from
flowers. Now, a bees tongue Is nntu-
rally about twenty-ffth Of an inch
long. Clever beekeepers. by keeping only
those bees with naturally long tongues.
have succeeded in lengthenIng the
tongues of number of bee colonies
to the extent OF another hundredth Of
an inch. 1t does not sound much, but
It enables those insects to do quar-
ter as much work again in the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. lie has given them ready made
homes. where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles of WAX for outside walls and
food during Howeress weather.

morse and the telegraph Operator

Morse ana the Telegraph Operator
Immediately after the successful
completion OF the first transatlantic
cable and the consequent celebrations,
in which of course Cyrus ". Field
bore a prominent part, Professor Morse
had occasion to send telegram from
a small town in Ohio to his home in
New York. He wrote out his message,
presented it to the operator, who rap
idly checked it of with his pencil and
CURLY demanded a dollar.
But" said the venerable inventor.
II never pay for messages" and. sec
ing an inQuirlng look in the operators
eyes, added, Il am, in fact, the father
Of the telegraph"
"Then," said the operator, firmly con-
vlnced that he was being imposed up
on, why don't you sign your own
name. Cyrus W. Field!"
Professor Morse when telling the
story used to say that he was too hu-
inflated to answer.

to an old colleague who was sitting be-

"oh. you may recover yet" said the
friend
THAT is impossible" replied BIchat,
"and If it were not for one thing l
would be quite willing to die"
what is that" asked the friend.

BIchat "that I shall not have an OPP

An hour later he was dead.

THE PLAY WAS STOPPED.
But II was Not by the orders of the
French PresAdent.


NJ. sardou, the French playwright,
once prohted by joke that General
Ladmirault, who was at the time gov
ernor of Paris, played on NJ. Timers.
sardou had written "Rabagas,' and
the play had been given its dress re
hearsal Sin camera." 1t was displeas-
ing to Theirs, aud he undertook to stop
its public performance.
AS General Ladmirault was dressing
for dinner, about o in the evening. an
officer entered his dressing room and
rendered a Dispatch. which, he said,
had come direct from Versailles.
The officer went out, an8fhe general.
continuing his toilet, said to himself
that he was certain that that dispatch
was the Introduction Of "Rabagas,"
and, having friendly feeling for the
author, the general left the dispatch
unopened when he left the room.
The next morning came MESSENGER
posthaste from Versailles, "RabaEas'
was performed last night
without doubt" negligcnty replied
the general.
But the dispatch

Progress of strike Commission.

Scranton, Pa, Dec S.-The opinion
still prevails here and rather strongly,
too, that the operators and the miners
will agree on most points before the
commission concludes its hearing.
Rector James Hussie stated that he had
an intimate knowledge of conditions in
and about Hazleton; that he lived in
the coal regions nearly all his life.
"The conditions in this region" he
said, ''arc deplorable. The mine work.
ers are barely able to exist. have
been in their homes They are not
homes, but merely habitation, rest
ing place" He said that in popula-
ton of which perhaps 70 per cent was
made up of mine workers, only eighty
mine employees out Of 1878 persons
assessed owned their own homes.

ARE TOO MANY OFFICIALS.
Governor Stanley Reasons From
His Two Terms Experience.
NO NEED OF MANY BOARDS.

Topeka, Dec. 8.-"Without attempt
ing to dictate to or influence my sue
cessor in the least, believe great
saving could be made to the taxpayers
of Kansas by the wiring out OF several
useless boards" said Governor Stanley.
-Four years experience in handling
state affairs has convinced me that more
people are kept on the state pay roll
than are needed.
"There is no need of maintaining hive
mem ers on the board of charities. IL
is useless waste of public funds. One
man can do the work. He should be
required to put in his entire time among
the institutions keeping tab on the eX-
penditurcs and exercising general
supervision over the superintendent
In fact, he should be the confidential
adviser of the governor.
"The two boards which now govern
the penitentary and reformatory should
be wiped out and one man appointed to
look after those institutions, the same
as / suggested concerning the charita-
BILE institutions.
"All three educational institutions
should be put under one board. Each
is now governed by different board
and there is rivalry between them
that should not exist AS result,
each institution is overlapping the
boundaries for which it was created
They will continue to do SO until all
are placed under one board and line
is marked for each to follow.
81 mention these three instances just
as illustrations. The same saving could
be made in all departments OF the state
government. 1t would, no doubt, make
governor very unpopular with the
politicians looking for jobs, but it would
solidify him with the people il he coulu
brine about such reform. A new
governor is always slow to attempt
any such reforms. He is new at the
business and really doesn't know what
the needs of the state are. He learns
the situation about the time he retires
from office. This is a matter, however,
Chat will bear investigation and DIS
cussjon. A business man or corpora
ton would remedy the extravaganza
within n week. But it takes long
while for the people to move. 1t may
soak in in due time and the taxpayers
will be relieved of big burden VI
course, it will make a lot of politicians
90 to work. But that won't hurt any
thing, only their feelings"
