THE Kansas City Journal referring
TO the voting down Of the proposition
for the, city to own its electric light
plant editorially says: kansas
City's experience with municipal
water works has been sufficiently dis
appointing TO justify a refusal to wade
any deeper into the public ownership
business for some time to come. Con-
sumers are paying substantially the
same rates for water as they paid the
old water company ten years ago, and
they have 3 rotten plant on their
hands that win cost hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars 10 ~renovate. The
old company made money, but the
city has not done 50 well. II would
be the same way with an electric
light plant, Ut least, there is no intel
ligent reason for surprising that a
public lighting plant would be operat-
ed any more satisfactorily and profta-
bly, than the water plant has been.
That is the view which the voters
evidently took, and they proceeded
accordingly. The city's remaining
bond-yOting power can be used In re-
newlng the wornout water works, II
necessary for that purpose. X funds
are available from other sources for
putting the water works into shape,
then the b~ond-voting power can be
utilized for some other useful pur-
pose; or 1t can be permitted 70 20 I'M
used. Because a city OF an individual
has some available credit Is no good
reason why that credit should be used
up as quickly as possible. The result
OF the election is not surprising, and
1t is not at ali regrettable."

Proposed Improvements.

A. r. Waterman, who has just
taken charge Of the Opera House,
has started carpenters on their work
Of remodling the place. These improve
ments will be many. The stage will
be rebuilt and new foot lights put ID.
The dressing rooms are to be renoyat-
ed and modern Improvements added.
New scenery will take the place Of the
time-worn drops. In the main part
OF the house new wood work will be
put in and the walls tinted. Limo
leum, with padding under it, will be
placed in the aisles. The lobby, which
will be an elegant affair, will have
new wood work, natural finiEh, the
floor being tiled. The box Office has
been rebuilt and will be open at all
times. The advance sale will be In
the theatre.
Mr.. Waterman is making this house
one Of the best In the State and In
tends presenting only a first-class line
Of attractions. The people should
support him literally.

CASING a WATCH.
How Ordinary Watch Works Nay be
Made More Efficient and How
Finer Ones May be Preserved.

Ordinary watch works may general
" be made effective timekeepes by
careful and strong casing. The finest
grades OF watch works require very
strong casing to protect their delicate
mechanism. The best OF Eases for
either class is the Jas. Boss Stiffened
Gold Watch Case.
This is a gold case stlifened in the
center with a plate OF hard metal to
prevent it getting thin and weak
and bending down on the works, as a
gold case does after a few years wear.
The outside plate Of gold is very
heavy, much more than is ever worn
froma solid gold case and much more
than can be worn of in a third
Of a century's hard service. In
fact, this outside plate Of gold is a
quarter of an inch thick when the
process Of rolling down commences.
At any rate, the Jas. Boss case Is
guaranteed Is years, and none was
ever known to wear out.
The styles Of the Jas. Boss case arr
very elegant-the same a. the finest
solid gold cases-beautifully hand
carved, superbly nnlshed-very thin
or very massive, as fancy may dictate
land In all sizes, for men and women''
wear, The price Is much lower thar
that asked for a solid gold case-ths
reason is that the Jas. Boss case saves
you paying for gold that Is never seer
and never used.
Jewellers everywhere keep a full
stock Of these elegant cases = thel
have sold more than 100000 OF then
In the last IS years. Ask your dealeI
TO see them, or for the book showing
why a Jas. Boss Stiffened Gold Case I
better than a solid gold case, or writ

commonly called side trips into every

st. Louis is essentially southern in
many respects, and its accessibility
10 all southern territory will make
possible a larger attendance from the
smaller cities In the Louisiana Pur.
chase, and from all sections south Of
the Mason and Dixon line. Many Of
the southern states are TO be repre-
sented by buildings and there has
been an interest manifested In this
exposition by southern manufacturers
which will attract many millions Of
dollars to the south. The postpone
ment Of the fair for one year win give
ample time for the foreign exhibitors
TO be represented, and the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition will open more
nearly complete than any Of its pre-
decessOrs.

LONG SLAM


Since Fire Island was first discover
ed, Long Island has been known as the
coolest spot on the Atlantic Coast up
on which to spend the summer. 1t Is
the only land lying directly across the
path Of the cool south winds prevail
ing during the summer months. Long
Island being the only sea coast OF New
York state and connected by a very
frequent express train service with
New York City has a further adyan-
tage in being In close touch by means
Of telegraph and telephone. The south
shore OF Long Island has not only the
splendid beaches Of the Atlantic Ocean
but the great inland sea called Great
South Bay, with its unique attractions
Of absolutely safe sailing and bathing,
and furthermore it is one OF the finest
fishing grounds In the United States
and the bays to the eastward-Bell-
port Morlches and Shinnecock bays
furnish to many ideal salt water
pastimes without the heavy surf and
possible dangers attending sailing In
the open sea. The Central section
Is a rolling country filled with many
beautiful country places with orchards
AMI gardens, and further on a wonder
full chain Of lakes on the highest
points fed by underground streams.
The north shore is hilly and one OF the
most attractive wood countries, q
popularity seldom met with close 10
the coast. The whole north shore be-
ing bounded, as 1t is by Long Island
Sound, is filed with most delightful
harbors and bays. The yachting,
fishing and bathing Of this territory
is superb. At the extreme eastern
end Of the Island where its two shores
separate forming the north and south
fluke are the beautiful bays-Great
PeconIc and Little PecOnic, Noyack,
Southold and Gardeners, and about In
the center Of them Shelter Island Is
located, which is well known as an
ideal place for rest and recreation.
Transportation facilities are parti'
cularly good. The splendid steamers
of the Montank Steamboat Company
sail from New York reaching Shelter
!. Island, Greenport, Sag Harbor and
. Block Island further to the eastward,
while the Long Island Railroad Com
: pany is running vestibule express
trains enabling the summer visitors tc

in the minimum Of time.
The connections with New England
by way Of New London are also ex'
