PUT TO SEVERE TEST.
The Artificial Stone Put to Thorough
Test-convincing.


Test-convincing.
The Artificial Stone Manufacturing
company of Oklahoma City built a cot
tage of their concrete stone and filed
it full of wood and pine boxes and
piled cross-ties and tar on top of the
building. Then saturating the whole
with a barrel of kerosene, applied the
torch in order to make a test oil the
concrete stone. Ordinary building
stone and brick were also exposed to
the fire in order to compare the dura.
bility of each when exposed to the
and the fire company was called out
to extinguish the flames. The fire
chief said the fire was altogether too
hot to make fair test OF a buildin
of that size but every concrete stone
was left unhurt and did not scale in
the least when saturated with cold
water while yet red hot from the fur.
mace within. The natural stone and
brick that were exposed crumbled
and would have been considered a TO-
tai loss.
The test was made when the insur
ance men were in convention, all Of
whom pronounced the stons perfecr
building material and absolute Y Gre
proof.
The Ardmore Artificial stone and
Construction company is eil ed over

same as in this country. When ac- eidents occur, the railroad employees in- volyed will be considered innocent un- til their guilt is proved-exactly the contrary to the procedure which has prevailed heretofore. For culpable fail ure to protect human life. they will be answera ble, just as they are in this country about the only difference in Mexican judges have wider discretion.
 Mexico and her wise president de- serve unqualified credit for thus talk ing a step which places that country in line with the most civilized nations.
 It is but simple justice to say that. aside from President Diaz himself. the honor of bringing about this reform is chiefly due to Mr J. A. Naugle of Guaymas. general manager of the Sonora railroad. For years Mir Naugle has labored necessarily for a modifica- tion of the laws and procedure cover ing railway accidents. and he has ex- pended many thousands of dollars in defending his employees. Finally he sue ceeded in taking an important case to President Diaz personally, and the facts in that case so strongly appealed to the president in behalf of the inn prisoned conductor that the decree above quoted is one of the results.

The Tranvaal loan issued by the British government, which was over subscribed several times. brought out some remarkable features. For ex- ample. there were eight-nine applica- tions for amounts exceeding $5.OOO. 900 each; there were five applications for more than $25, 900, 900 and not exceeding $50. 900. and five for amounts be- yond S5o.OOO,0OO hut not more than s1oO,00O,OOO. There were four applica- tions for amounts between $1OO OOO, ,OOC and $15O,OO0.OOO, and one for s150. 100000. Many of these subscrip- tions were from the United States, of course, but many hundreds of millions were offered by the English people. Which goes to show that prosperity is getting in its work in England as we'll as in this country.

A Premature and Foolish Statement

The distinguished scientist who has come to the conclusion that the twen- tieth century will not equal the nine- teenth in great inventions makes a decidedly premature and foolish state ment. Think of the wonders that may grow from the wireless telegraph sys- tenn, form wireless telephony, form the use of radium and other similarly mys- terious substances, And here is Pro- lessor Braun of the university of Strasburg undertaking to heat a room in Munich by fiashlight in Nurem berg, one hundred miles away. We cannot imagine, even vaguely, what the human race will attain to in the realms of invention during the next ninety-seven years.-Providence Jour nal.

With some reservation, MT. Bryan admits that the Hon. Walter Clark, chlef justice of North Carolina, is his choice for the democratic nomination for president. Judge Clark has achieved some fame as a writer on economic subjects. and is known locally as corporation batter. His especial hobbies are government ownership of the railroads and government owner ship of the telegraphs. The kind of compromise MT. Bryan is willing to offer the Cleveland democrats is made clear by his selection of Judge Clark. There is not a wild-eyed populist in the country who would not look upon Clark as brother

C. N. Sterry

The death of Captain c. N. Sterry. for many years stationed at Los An geles as solicitor of the Santa Fe sys- loss to a large circle of friends through out the southwest. Captain Sterry was justly regarded as one of the strongest lawyers in the Pacific coast country. and he ranked with the leading railroad lawyers of the United States. The loss to the company will be, therefore. a heavy one.
 Not many men have been longer in the service of the Santa Fe in any ca pacity than had Captain Sterry as one of the attorneys and counselers of the railroad. Years and years ago. when he was still a young man, practicing law at Emporia, Kansas, his brilliancy at the bar had made him a man of mark, and entering the service of the Santa Fe he soon had charge of all the trial business of the company in the state. He was noted as a fighter who never knew how to surrender, and the WHICH He won rom JQrleS 31ISr hard fought trials had made for him memorable record long before he took up at Albuquerque the duties of solici- tor of the Atlantic & Pacific. In that position he won new laurels as coun- selor and attorney, and finally the growing business of the Santa Fe made it necessary for him to make his headquarters at Los Angeles, in charge of all the legal business of the Santa Fe on the Pacific coast. He quickly won place as one of the foremost citi- zens of Los Angeles. and for years be- fore his death he stood as a giant among the legal fraternity of Cali fornia.
 In a social way Captain Sterry was one of the most companionable of men. In addition to a profound knowledge of law he was a man of wide culture, and his many gifts and nobility of charac- ter were such as to attach friends to him by bonds of unusual strength.

A COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

The Mems Social Science Club at its meet
ing last Monday night, discussed the question
OF county high school. Prof. Geo. r. Law
elin read an able paper on the subject, in
which he presented some splendid argument in
favor of the proposition.
Prof. L1wtlin was followed by a number of
speakers, all of whom favored the project, but
presented different plans of getting the school.
The AGITATOR is in favor of any plan that
will advance the educational interests of the
county, and we believe the high school plan is
the best yet devised. There are over 1870 out
of-town pupils in the Garrett schools this year,
and over one-thrd of those in the high-school
departme mt are from the country aid other
towns. All pay tuition. If we had county
high school, there would be no tuition to pay,
which would be quite saving. Outside par
ties will pay over 5000 into the Garrett school
district this year, in tuition.
The Garrett schools are crowded, In some
rooms, there are three in a seat 1t will prob
ably be worse next year. A new building is
needed, and it will have to be built soon, un

"JUST A GAME OF POLITICS."

The Topeka Capital, speaking of the special
session of congress- says it is just game of pol
itics. "There is growing impression," says
the Capital, "that the present congress, outside
of the Cuban reciprocity treaty and routine af-
fairs, will accomplish little in the way of legis-
lation of national importance. 1t is not believed
that there will be any radical currency legisla-
ton, for too many influential men in the Re-
publican party are opposed to it. The stand
patters' on the tariff question feel that they
have the upper hand, and that the schedule
will not be changed in any important particu-
lar. With these two important subjects out of
the way, and nothing else in sight at this time,
it is believed that the session will resolve itself
into very interesting game of politics, every
thing being said and done with respect to its
bearings upon the presidential campaign next

BIGGEST LABOR FIGHT COMING.

"The next ten years will bring change in
the status OF the labor question, for l believe
we are face to face with the greatest labor war
this country has ever seen. So said the Rev.
Charles Steizle, of St. Louis, last Sunday
Continuing, he said:
ga tidal wave of Socialism is bound to sweep
over the United States, and that at no far dis
tant day. Some trades unions are going over
entirely into Socialism, and Socialism is fas'
becoming the religion of thousands
Socialism is materaistic and in Germany,
the Socialists have declared that no member of
church should be entitled to hold Office among
them, for they say that religion is opposed to
the growth of their party.
''We must at once enter into a campaign for
healing the breech between the church and the
working people. The church itself must solve
the problem. The dav is past when we can
put out the sign of seats free and expect the
church to be filed"

Roosevelt on Mckinley.

At a meeting in Canton, Ohio
last week, commemorative of
the birthday of VIM. Mckinley,
President Roosevelt paid this
eloquent tribute to the martyred
president:
at has been given to few men
to take so marked a lead in the
crises of their generations as was
taken by President Mckinley.
1t during generation no crisis
occurs, the world does not know
of the leader; and there are long
periods during which no man
appears who leaves an indeilble
mark. In the revolution and
period OF construction following,
the highest civic attributes were
embodied in Washington, and so
in him we have one of the undy-
ing men of histoty. In the, civil
war Lincoln and Grant deserved
well of mankind by saving a
precious heritage. Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew Jackson each
stands representative OF the
great movement of his genera
tion.
1t was given to President Nc
kinley to take the foremost place
in our political life at a time
when our country faced prob
lens more momentous than any
save in the revolution and civil
war. Under his leadership the
nation solved these. Therefore
he stands as first of his genera
ton, and among the greatest
figures in onr national life. Z"
