hruB'B farRs
Krug Park drew its usual Sunday crowd
yesterday. The street Railway company
run many extra cars during the rush in
the evening and the complaints OF patrons
waiting on the corners In the north part
OF the city, where the interesting lines
furnish transfers to the Krug Park cars
were fewer than last Sunday. The bill for
the day gave as good satisfaction as any
this season. The greatest interest pre-
vailed In the balloon race between Prof.
J. Waldorf Hail and Prof. s. NJ. Heller.
The two airships left the ground on an
even break and presented a pretty picture
as they sailed away to the south neck and
neck for the frst mile. 1t looked hard to
pick a winner until Heller cut loose with
his parachute, while Hail continued his
flight upward and was awarded the prize.
Heller is to meet Hall today and arrange
for another match. That which attracted as
much interest as the race and many more
people, being later in the evening, was the
moving pictures Of the Mount Pelee vol
canic disaster. The picture gives a vivid
and realistic idea Of the great calamity,
showing the crater belching forth sheets
Of fame and molten lava as its pours Town

Midsummer Day Dreams

When the delegates from the women's
Christian Temperance union county con-
vention drove into the little town OF Wash
ington last week and found the only avail
able place at the depot platform occupied
BY q brewery wagon, laden with kegs Of
beer, they began to think that the fates
were putting up a practical joke on them
The train was standing there and the con-
ductor shouted all aboard. There was
clearly no time to lose. TIL women were
getting nervous, but the man who was I'M
loading the beer kegs worked leisurely
and whistled a merry tune,
The women would have climbed out OF
the carriage and walked to the train, but
the mud was a foot deep.
AS they ponderoC over the events of the
last few hours the practical joke theory
grew upon them. They had left Elk CITY,
the scene Of the convention, in carriages
three hours before, and every step Of the
way rain had fallen In torrents, drenchlng
them to the skin. This reminder that they
were exponents OF cold water was taken
good naturedly. Then Mrs. Blank broke
nine OF the dozen eggs abe started out
with. and the yolks streamed unctiously
down the front of her lavender skirt.
There was nothing ~allegorical about this,
but II was a stuDDorn ana SOMEWHAT mussy
fact. Then came the brewery wagon. and
the driver with his merry tune.
II must be that the conductor under
stood the situation, and held his train
q few minutes, for It was stll there when
the empty wagon drove away.
Hello, Carrie!" shouted the driver, as
his wheels traced a graceful scroll in the
mud. Smashed up the bar. eggs and all.

A woman who has had experience with this disease tells how to prevent any dangerous consequences from it. She says: Our three children took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain Cough Remedy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose par ents s1d not use this remedy.

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.

The Constitutional Convention has ended the farce it has been so long playing. The instrument it has adopted recognizes that population must be considered theoretically at least in the apportionment of representa- tion, but provides that this consideration should have hardly any weight. Representa- tion is still to be given almost equally to the artificial political units called towns, which are very unequal in population and have rapidly grown more so than formerly. The people are still to be denied anything at all approaching to equal representation in favor of an artificial grossly unequal, and arbitra- ry division. The town fetich is still wor- shipped Not enough improvement is pro- posed to justify change and the instrument proposed by the Convention should be con- temptuously rejected.
 Under It's provisions twenty-two towns having d population of from 2,o14 to 3,S56 are given two representatives each. twice as many as either they or majority of the people now have. These twenty-two towns contain less than one-fOurteenth of the pop ulation of the state, and the proposed con stitution would give them seventeen more representatives than to a majority of the people; and more representatives than the nineteen largest towns of the state, which have eight times as great d population.
 Again, one-half of the people are given by this instrument only twenty-seven represen- tatives. while less than one-half are given two hundred and twenty-sevPn. This is not popular government, but an oligarchy. The present constitution may be q trfie worse but cannot be more than a tride so-the diff ference Is not worth making a change for.
 The CouN entiun itself WAS chosen on the same unfair system of misrepresentation and the work Is worthy of its source. When ever any form of government is so unfair and unrepresentative ''it is the right of the people to alter it." Let the people form q convention which will represent them and passing by half measures wholly remedy the evil by providing for q plan of perfectly equal representation, The single transfer able vote will alone do this, and, by the plain and simple application of this found in the Cove System, perfect and satisfactory rep resentation of the people would be forever assured JUSTICE.
