Installed the Plant.

The work of installing the electric
pump at the prison has been finished
and the work turned over to the State.
The result is satisfactory in every
point, as the motor does the same
work that the steam engine did and
with less expense and time. There is
no longer any delay waiting for steam
to be generated, as aall that is nee
essary is to turn on the Juice" and
the wheels begin to do the work. War

upon making this substantial impr9-

the work of wiring and finishing the

Ax0THRIs STORY.

Awhile ago we were solemnly assured that the cubans didn't care as much for reciprocity as they seemed to at one time, and. that they felt able to get along well without it. Now comes MT. H. D. Dumont and says they can't get along well without it. MT. Dumont went to Cuba to study the situation, and in a report made to the New York Mer- chants Association he declares that the economic prosperity and, to a great ex- tent the political stability of Cuba de- pend upon reciprocal trade with this country, that Cuban products should be admitted to this country at rates much lower than those prevailing, and that the products Of this country should be admitted to Cuba on a tariff which will give the revenue necessary to the gov- ernment. He also advises action to off, set .'the artificial conditions which now tend to disqualify the United States from competing for Cuban trade on a basis of equality" ..--E~ <. ;.
 The outlook for the reciprocity treaty now pending is not very good, but per- haps our legislators will be kinder to little Cuba than they now seem like ly to. be-,

- - A QUEER IHEORY.

That is curious theory which seems to possess some of the. magistrates in New York city. "of course, you may be right" said Magistrate Cornell in Jefferson Market court yesterday norn- ing to Mrs. Leslie Langton, who charg- ed Henry zabriski with larceny; but I hold, with other magistrates, that a woman Is the worst possible identifier. Now, are you sure this man robbed you?" Mrs. Langtom was positive that zabriski asked to look at a room she had to rent. After inspecting the room. she alleged, he beat her and compelled her to tell where she kept her money. Thirty-four dollars, she said, he stole. zabriski protested his innocence. "0f course, suppose a woman can identify a person." said the magistrate. T am going to give you time to get all your witnesses here, ,-,ss !. .
 What does such talk mean? Is it possible that woman who, with one glance out of the corner of her eye, can instantaneously take in" all the. de- tails of another woman's costume. and can remember them forever, can't see straight enough and completely enough and remember long enough to ''iden- tifyn, an uncomplicated man?

It is doubt ful, further says the correspondent. if there is one among those to whom Mir. Cleveland gives his confidence who is in any doubt as to what hls course would be were he to consult only his prefer ences in the matter. and that would be to continue the life he is leading, They believe that to hin the path of inclina- ton is clearly marked out, that as to that he is in no doubt. but what is or what may be the path of duty is anoth- CT thing, and that the stage is. not yet reacheG when he IS. or should be, called
 upon to take a decisive stand. The keyword to a determinationsof what the course of Grover Cleveland will be is duty. If. in the development of events. it can be made to appear to him that it is duty which he owes to the party. and the country, those who know him well anticipate lie will accept another nomination and obey the call.

SODA AND ICED TEA.

$ Government Chemist Says Latter is
 Simply Suicide Bread and Butter
 Eating Should be Encouraged,
 Dr. Wiley, chemist for the department of agriculture, who has just concluded the first of the tests to food preserva- lives and their effect on the human sys- tenn, said to-day: 'The devil turks in. the soda water fountain, and iced tea is simply suicide. If persons would only use precaution there is no reason why one should suffer more with sickness in summer than in winter. A few of the most delicious and palatable edibles, as well as drinks, have got a bad renuta- tion as producers of summer sickness, when, in fact the whole trouble is due to the careless preparation of food and drink and the too lax law as to inspec- tion. One of the most fragrant causes of sickness in. summer is entirely over looked by law, and that is the prepara- tion of soil for growing vegetables for the market. I have on several occa- sions called attention to the danger of eating vegetables grown on or under ground which has been exposed to con- tamination by sewage, city waste or garbage" When Dr. Wiley was asked if the use of meat is unhealthy in hot weather he said: 'of course that is the general idea, but in fact meat is much more easily digested than starchy vegetables, and is both nutritious and. condimental. While vegetables are satisfying to the appetite, they are Watery and furish little nutriment, their qualities being continental and mechanical. Meat, good bread, potatoes and milk free from germs is the diet to be relied upon at all times for good health. God bread should be the foundation of every meal and too much care cannot be given it's preparation. Bread and butter, with some agreeable drink, will make a luncheon good enough for any one. Little children should be encouraged in the old-fashion- ed habit of bread and butter eating and let bread, butter and sugar take the place of indigestible sweets, such as rich pastries, buildings and cakes.

THE NEGRo GAMl,.RLER

The gambling spirit of the negro Is
 merely a natural inheritance from gam-
 bling masters; but among the lower, the
 very lowest of this case (for 1t has its
 grades,) they have not found out the .dicererce between sporty and sporting
 blood. f3s
 The negro gambling hells are no more
 q menace to the municipal life of
 Chicago than are the white gambling
 heils. They arc merely less plausible
 and plausibility is the mask of the
 dangerous.
 From the comments of the press, both
 North and South. it might be inferred
 that the general diversions of the negro
 were ''10-cent rags,,,, and the game of
 t'oraps," but to one who knows anything
 about the social intercourse of the
 better classes the absurdity view is apparent. i a3
 One of the marks of high civilization is peoples ability to take their pleas ures evenly. The lower element of the blacks is no worse than the same ele- ment among the whites of America and he is a prince and a gentleman when EoitlDdISu WISH Lic @SUStSlo VI L+il5lAtlA on bank holiday.
 Some time ago Ia distinguished En- glishman who had heard much of the savagery of the negro in America was invited to one of the refined negro homes in Chicago, in order that he might meet this maligned people in one of their social gatherings. To certain extent, the company was picked, but what is society but the coming together
 of like education and like associations? This man who had been hearing all of his life of the utter impossibility of do- l ing anything with these black masses was utterly taken off his feet. He saw men and women correctly dressed was
 not red waistcoat in the house, by the way;) he conversed with those who had something to say and knew how to say it; he saw men who by dint of their own effort had achieved, and women, the cleanliness ofFwhose lives shone from their faces and exhaled their actionss. He heard music such as he had been told by the negro could never learn to play! he heard poetry such as l he had been taught to believe the negro could never write, and best of all, oh, l climax of the whole thing! he met and grasped the hand of the grand old | man."

SPORT IN SHINING BUFFALO FISH

A new sport of unusual interest at Okoboji is that of watching the men seine for buffalo or seeing the large fellows they bring in. Wednesday Elmer Heushur brought in a big sixty nine-pounder while, seining in East Lake, Last fall in one day 1000 pounds were taken out of Minnewasta. Some days they get almost no fish; often 1,400 pounds come in. The buffalo seem to have no special bed, as often the barge is seen off South Beach, Millers Bay, Haywards Bay, Minnewasta, or Center Lake. They get many small fish and often bring in forty-pounder. The equipment for catching these large fish is very different from anything we are accustomed to seeing here. The net is from eight to sixteen feet wide and 1000 feet long. At about two feet apart on: one of the long sides there are large egg-shaped floats and on the other side a pound in weight. The flat boat is some fifteen feet long. Near the stern are two uprights on which are rivetsd two five-foot solid wood wheels. The net unwinds from these wheels. The barge is lowed by the Hiawatha to the ground of action. It takes six men to do the seining. Two hold fast one end on the shore while the others row out in a circle, dragging the weighted side of the net as they go. After making this detour the other end of the net comes

back to shore Almost where the first men were. Then khe net is dragged in. drawing all the fish to land. No game fish are allowed 10 be kept, but must be let free agains 4 deputy attends each party that g9es out and sees that this is done. Large orders are filled each week and shipped away The buffalo have multiplied many fold in the last year, since the law for seining fish has been in force. But this last winter many pounds of buffalo were captured through the ice. They claim that buffalo eat other fish and perhaps that has much to do with the less amount of game fish caught here. To- day as the Okoboji plowed the waters it divided also a school of large fish. both gar and buffalo. One could see the big fellows turn and glide away.-Des Moines Register and Leader.

TIE oo HAS GA BL Es.

The "all American cable" from San Francisco to Manila which has just been opened by a message of greeting from President Roosevelt to the Gov ernor of the Philippines, will be a big factor in the work of the world, and perhaps in the wars of the world. Its completion hasn't made much stir be- cause people have become accustomed to cables. And yet it is only fifty years ago that there were no cables connecting lands separated by the ocean. Now there are 1.75o submarine telegraphs, of a length of 100000 miles, costing about, 75,0ooO 900 and handling yearly over 6,O00,oOO messages. There are nearly twenty lines crossing the Att lantic, two cross the Pacific and mum Der cross the Indian ocean. Thirteen lines connect the United States with Europe, while three connect South America with Africa, or Southern Flu rope. All the large islands of the civ- ilized world and many of the smaller ones are connected. The Mediterranean and Red sea are traversed, and wher- ever in the narrow seas it will pay a cable has been laid. The English till recently laid and owned nearly all the cables, but the French, Germans, Rus sians and Americans. have now laid lines of their own in various directions, with view to independent connections in case of conflict in arms or business. The British laid their cable across the Pacific last year, their line being 7,50o miles long. This line works we'll, it is stated, notwithstanding the extraordi- nary length of the span between Gam ada and Tanning Island. The Govern nlents of England, Canada and Aus tralia shared the expense of the first trans-Pacific cable. but the completion of the American cable is almost wholly due to the enterprise of the late John W. Mackay, who in August, 1901, of- fered to our government to lay cable across the Pacific at his own expense on certain conditions.
