Chicago newspapers comment on the fact that
Poet McGafey's friend. Carter H.. Harrison. who nm
pointed him to a lucrative office, has been reelected
to the Mayoralty on the Democratic ticket, and that
Poet McGafey's law partner, John F. smulski. has
been elected City Attorney on the Republican ticket.
The entire country will hope that these Journals are
correct in their deduction that Chicago's regard for
chaste and correct poesy is responsible for the good
fortune of Poet McGaney's friends.

Boodlers and bribers made the mistake OF asum-
ing that crime could ever be conventional in Mis-
souri, or that 1t could ever be regarded with feelings
other than the deepest loathIng and Indignation. The
criminals have possibly mistaken the peoples ig-
noranee OF their offenses for something like acquies-
cence, and have placed r low estimate upon charac-
ter. If they so blundered in the past. they are now
nervously alive to the pubic's resentment.

The antitrust bill debate. which opened
in the House of Representatives yesterday,

there was fairly large attendance in the
galleries. The bill to expedite prosecutions
occasioned no debate. 1t passed the House.
as 1t did the Senate, without a word Of
debate.
Mr.. Powers CMass) made the opening
argument for his side of the House on the
Judiciary committee bill and Mr.. Clayton
(Ala) opened for his side. The former
contended that the pending measure was d
step in the direction of regulation OF trusts,
while Mr.. Clayton insisted that 1t was all
sham and pretense. and that the bill feeble
as 1t was was never intended to go on the
statute books. The other speakers yesterday
were MessrS. Thomas Qowa) and Thomas
On. CO. The post office apprOpria ton bill
was passed before the trust bills were taken
up. The death of Mr.. Moody of North Caro-.

TIME EXTENDED.
Opportunity Given Owners for Pay
a ment Of DELINQUENT Taxes.

The Commissioners have decided, in view
Of the questions which have arisen in con-
nection with the tax sale Of property for
arrears Of taxes, and upon which the Dis
trict held liens, to grant the owners of such
property until the 18th Of February to pay
the taxes due. In the meantime, no deeds
will be issued to those who have applied
for the purchase Of the properties under
the law approved July /, 1902 No less than
three notices. the Commissioners say, have
already been sent out, at various times, to
the owners Of the properties, explaining
that unless the taxes were paid the prop
critics would be sold: and, in addition to this,
an advertisement has been prepared by the
Commissioners giving the name of each
person for whose property an application
for purchase has been made. A fourth
notice is also being prepared and is being
mailed Th'1 notice conveys the informa-
tion that tax deed has been applied for,
under an act or Congress approved July 1,
1902 on deslshated lot, assessed in the
name of the party addressed. but that the
same VIII be held at this Office until Feb
ruary 20. 1908 In order to give ample oppor-

THE MOST POWERFUL. RIVER.
Most Force Obtained From the Andres
coggin of Any New England Stream.

Should one be asked at random to name
the most powerful river in New England,
that Is. the river yielding the most water
power and doing the most work, he would
be likely to name the Merrimac," said M.
s. Edgar of Portland. Me-, at the New
Willard. HE would have In mind the great
manufacturing city Of Lowell and the
answer would be natural one 1t is sur
prising, therefore, to be told by the United
States geological survey that the most DOW
erful river in New England Is the Andros-
coggin. Yet the surprise abates when the
facts are recounted. There are nine or ten
developed water powers along the river,
and it appears that they furnish total power
equal to 1900 horses. The falls at Bruins
wick yield 100 horse power; at Lisbon
Falls. 1925; at Lewiston, 1900; at Liver
more Falls. 5000; at Otis Falls, 5000; at
Jays. 3,7OO: at Petersons Rips, 5000; at
Rumford Falls. 1900. and at Berlin Falls,
10000. At Rumford Falls there Is a poten-
tial Of 10000 horse power when the re-
sources at that place are fully developed,
and that is altogether the greatest water
power In New England Evidently there is
future in store for Rumford Falls that
Will realize the most sanguine dreams Of its
founders. There are riches in water equal
to mines Of coal or gold"

CAT AS A WEATHER PROPHET.
A Pawtucket Visitor Tells of a Re
markable Pet.

John w. Thompson of Pawtucket, X. L.,
who is at the Raleigh, is responsible for
remarkable cat story. and at the same
time claims ownership Of a most wonder
full cat. Speaking of his feline's peculiar
traits Mr.. Thompson said:
Tommy has the habit Of spending his
evenings out. When he is ready to come
in of his own accord, it is his custom to
call around the doors and cry to be ad-
mitted, or to hop upon the window sill
and scratch the glass until the attention of
some one within is drawn. He always
chooses a window that is lighted, thus
showing that he knows his business.
"This winter the cat has caused me some
little worry. We do not like to retire
that is, we did not before we studied the
case and arrived at a satisfactory conclu-
sion-with Tommy still outdoors. and the
old cat had developed liking to remain
on the outside. After the theater we would
light up the house and sit around and wait
for the creature to make his presence
known. Failing in this, I would run the
risk of pneumonia at the back door call
Ing pussy. pussy, pussy but all to no
zone night Tommy would not come In 1t
was bitter cold. Poor Tommy. said. but
the old boy was wiser than I supposed.
next morning noticed that there had been
a decided moderation in the temperature
since midnight. This set me thinking. rs
is possible asked myself, that the cat
possess the Instincts OF the true born
weather prophetY
"Whereupon began careful study OF
the case I watched Tommys comings
and goings for two weeks. 1t is an actual
fact that during that period on every night
when the temperature dropped between 10
and IL o'clock and daylight my cat would
cry and scratch to get in-no calling or
coaxing was necessary. Every night when
the thermometer showed higher tempera-
ture nothing could persuade Tommy to
spend the wee sma' hours in the house. AS
q prophet of temperature my Tommy beats
the weather bureau. and what is best OF all
the prediction Ia local in the strictest
sense
