The Kent and Sussex legislators,
through Representative Townsend,
have presented a bill in the House
which is looked upon as attacking the
Standard Oil Company, and requiring
them to furnish the people of Della
ware with better oil or go out of bus
mess in this state. The lower Della
ware legislators want oil of a test of
100 and weight of 12O. It is claimed
that the oil they get is part oil and
part something else. Friday night the
trust, throgh its Delaware representa-
tives, gave an elaborate spread at the
Hotel Richardson, and, although the
fine wines and viands were passed
about in profusion, the lower Della
wareans will probably insist that they
did not want more champagne, but
more oil. The bill has passed the
House and is in the Senate.

This town is at last rid of smallpox
and the citizens feel that great bur
den has been lifted off them. Ever
since the disease first made its appear =
ance business to a certain extent has
been at a standstill. People from the
country all made their purchases in
other towns and travelling statesmen
also gave the town wide berth. Con-
siderable money was spent by the To-

the dreaded disease and it is hoped
that such an afliction will not again

five different roads absorbed by the

The many friends in this town of
Finley Coppage were shocked last
Wednesday to learn Of his death. He
had been suffering only a few days
with an attack of appendicitis, and
was thought to be on the road to re-
covery, when a sudden change for the
worse took place and he passed away.
Finley was a young man eighteen
years of age, and for some time past
has been assistant agent here for the
Adams Express Company. He was of
bright and jovial disposition and in
attending to his duties was obliging
and courteous to all. His funeral,
which was largely attended, took place
afternoon, interment being
odd Fellows cemetery, at
Smyrna. Rev. Howard L. Schlinke,
pastor of Ewel's NJ. p. Church, and
Rev. j. A. Arters pastor of st. Pauls
NJ. f. Church, had charge of the re-
igious services, and in his sermon the
Ormer paid especial tribute to the many
good traits of the young man.

On July 4th, 1873, the jamestown
Alert was launched by the publishers,
Z. H. and C. Fl Foster. 1t had then
a patent inside, two pages being set
up in the Office. The editorial an
nouncement predicted that the paper
would grow in size and influence and
ever be alert to the interests of
jamestown, Stutsman county and the
state of North Dakota, dependent
largely upon the patronage it received.
The Weekly Alert containing II to 16
pages of matter every week contain
ing all the ews of the city. county
and state, has, in a measure at least,
fulfilled the prediction. This scrap OF
history is suggested to Editor Kellogg
on the approach of the tw~enty-fifth
anniversary of the Alert on July 4th
next.

There is some talk but no cOnclu-
sions reached at Washington as to
who will be National Chairman next
year 1t is assumed that Senator
Hanna will likely desire to retire when
the proper time arrives. Senator
Lodge has been mentioned as q prob.
able selection but it is pointed out
that it may not be desirable to have
a chairman who is in too close touch
with the Presidential candidate as any
decisive action might be construed as
having been inspired. Suggestion has
been made for some young man to
take the management of the campaign
but no young man has yet been sug-
gested whose personality is sufficient
ly ~forceful to convince party men that
he is the right man for the place.
There is a year ahead yet however,
and ample opportunity to make sell
ection.

THE MEANING OF MUSIC.
Tones Have Their Specific Express
siOns Just a. Much ~
Spoken Words.

Music is a science more exact than
most people suppose" said a violinist
reports the Philadelphia Ledger. You
can't, for instance, say different things
with the same tones in music any more
than you can say different things with
the same words in English or French.
Black means black In English; never
under any circumstances can it mean
white In the same way, in music, a
major third expresses an interrogation
or an appeal, never anything else, and
this appealing quality becomes exceed
ingly marked in the fourth descending,
while the fourth ascending advances
from interrogation to Affirmation and
finally TO command. Major and minor
hfths travel by regular gradations from
prayer to desire, and from desire to
menace. SiKths express passion-all
love music Is written in sixths. To a
semi-tone higher, and this love, this
passion, becomes a painful, an en-
nous, an Il-stsrred one. Seventies ex-
press grief, tragedy. Perhaps you think
/ am exaggerating here, but 1 assure
you am not What / claim you win

DEAF-MUTEs NEVER GIDDY.
Vertigo Seems to BE One of the Ms
20 which They Are Never

II is q singular fact. vouched for By
those who have Investigated the subject
that a deaf can whirl around inter
minably without seeming TO suffer IN
any way from vertigo. Il have seer
them do It repeatedly" said 8
physician long connected with a deaf
and dumb institute. "and their perform

William James, the Harvard psycholo-
gist-the brother, you know, Of Henry
James, the novelist. There Is q certain
tube, connecting with the ear, that Is
the seat, according to william James,
Of our sense Of dizziness and vertigo.
In deaf-mutes this tube is deranged.
Therefore, according to James theory,
deaf-mutes should be incapable Of suf-
fering vertigo.
Thepsychologist experimental on this
matter at Harvard; he had hundreds Of
deaf and normal persons spinning round
ike these children for him. And the
result Of the experiment bore him out.
Out Of a large number Of mutes most
were proof against vertigo, and the bal
ance only suffered It slightly. OF 300
Harvard students submitted to the same
test, but one showed vertigo in a very
marked form. Thus James proved that
the deaf are immune to dizziness. The
boys at the Mount Airy institution prove

POTATOES A GREAT CROP.
Value Of the TubeFH Exceeds That OF
Any Other Single Product
Of the Farm.

The opinion generally prevails that
wheat or corn-in some regions one and
In others the other-constitute the crop
Of greatest value to the world. Such
is not the fact. The potato leads all
other staples, being produced at the rate
Of 1900. 900 bushels a year, while
the wheat yield is only $500 900 600.
Europe produces seven-eighths Of the
worlds potatoes, but It is little Ireland
which eats most Of them, averaging four
pounds Of potatoes a day per capita. The
United States is on record as the greatest
meat-eating country IN the world, H.
0OO,OOO. 900 pounds yearly being con-
sumed here. There are PSYCHOLOGISTS who
ascribe TO this her power on land and
sea. Johnny Bull has the sweetest tooth
among the worlds children, heading the
list Of sugar consumers at a yearly rate
OF 5000 ,000,0 900 pounds Of sugar. OF to-
baeco, however. the average in Belgium
is ITO ounces per capita. in the United
States only 43 ounces. But In the mat
ter Of beer the United States again takes
the lead, showing a record Of 80 gallons
year for each inhabitant, dIstancing
even Germany herself.
