Last night, after the play at Polls theater, and just as the people were beginning to leave the house, George Shove, young man residing on Maple street. this city, was passing from the theater to the Acorn club room by rear way and discovered the con- tents of store room to be in flames.

Electric Water Heater.

Boonville Democrat;
Richard Toeunes has patented an
Fitctne water heater that is a marvel.
Mr.. Themes is the electrician at the
opera house, in this city and has fire.
q%uontly noted the demand by actors
for warm water, a luxury few opera
houses supply.
He is about to provide a cheap and
quick method of furnishing it. The re-
suit Is a little tube, about the size of a
spool of thread, attached to an electric
light wire, which is connected so it can
be inserted in a regular electric light
socket. The tube Is then dropped in a
glass, BOWL or pitcher Of water and in
stantly it begins to boil violently.
Mr.. ToeDnes says he can heat water
to the boiling point in ten seconds He
was allowed a patent covering the in
vention on March 23rd, and will begin
manufacturing the heaters at once. 1t
will retail for IS cents to S1.25, accord
ing to the finish, and will prove a boon
to all actors, travelling men and other:
wanting not water frequently. The
housewife aud the nurse will find 1t ar
almost indispensable luxury.

Saws That There are Others.


The following is part of a long edi-
lorial by E. W. Stephens in the Col
umbia Herald on the subject of the
gubernatCrial situation in Missouri
The Herald has been a moderate sup
of Folk up to this time;
''Nothing is easier than to play upon
the prejudices of the people against
those in authority, and if Mr.. Folk is
ever governor he will find that there
will surely be a constant fire Of assault
upon him. The writing of open letters
the making of speeches, or newspaper
editorial, assaulting governors have
been a favorite pastime with many
seeking notorlety ever since Missouri
was a State There has not been a
governor who has not suffered from
them. Mr.. Folk makes a mistake when
be attacks the governor, and a still
greater one when he asssils the admin
istration of the party whose nomina-
ton he seeks. He certainly a not
hope to gam the votes of intelligent
democrats by assaulting the party's or
ganizstiou, ana If he thinks TO catch
republicans he will be sorely disap'
pointed. Let him not be beguiled by

INHERITED FROM PARENTS.
Mental Qualities as Well as Physical
Are Transmitted, According
to an Englishman.

Prof. Karl Pearson, 2. r. s.,
in his Huxley memorial lecture at
the AnthropOlogical institute in
London, after giving evidence to
show, and declaring his belief, that
mental as well as physical quail
ties are inherited from parents,
called attention to the present
lack Of intelligence in British pro-
fessional and working men. He
does not think that the remedy is
to be sought in foreign methods
of instruction or in technical ed
ucatiOn. Intelligence must be
bred, and we are ceasing, he
thinks, to breed it as we did 50 or
100 years ago. The only possible
remedy is to alter the relative fer
tility of the good and bad stocks
in the community. We are, it
seems, at the beginning of an
epoch which will be marked by a
dearth of ability. For the last 40
years the intellectual classes, en-
ervated by wealth or love of pleas-
ure, or following an erroneous
standard of life, shave ceased to
give us the men we want to carry
on the eyer-growing work of our
empire; to battle in the forefront
of the eyer-intensifed struggle OF
nations" With so many profes.
sors lecturing us on our shortcom-
ings, adds the London Globe, we
shall soon begin to feel ourselves
in a bad way.

Fuel.S Saving Invention.

The Fulton Sun of March 81, has
this to say about an invention Of Luther
NJ. Nickell's:
For the past year and a half Mr.,
Nickel has been experimenting on this
furnace at the plant and has just re.
Gently perfected an arrangement In
this important detail in brickmaking
that will probably revolutionize the
burning Of brick IN the future. The
leading idea of Mr. Nickell's furnace
is economy 10 fuel. By certain ar
rangement of the hues there is practi.
cally no loss In the fuel used, as the
furnace is so made that both the gases
and smoke Of the coal are consumed,
thereby making a great saving in this
very costly item. The brick burning
arrangement OF Mr.. Nickell's IS called
"The Improved Gas Furnace"
Mr.. Nickel has already put in FIVE
OF these new furnaces at the Fulton
plant and they are giving such perfect
satisfaction that the entire plant will
be equipped with them as rapidly as
the brick layers "a put them IN.
Mr.. Nickel has applied for a patent
on this new furnace as there IS nothing
so far as can be- ascertsinod just like II
and it is almost certain that the patent
will be granted. Another important
feature of Mr.. Nickell's furnace is the
arrangement by which the uulfGrmit,
can be controlled. This feature ha
long been a source of much loss II
burning brick snd Mr.. Nlckell's in
v%ention this loss is largely overcome
Mr.. Nickel has not yet put his fur
mace on the market, but he Will PROB
ably do so as soon as the patent i
granted and it will be pushed, as h
can spare the time from the manage
ment of the Fulton plant.
Mr. Nickel has made a grand sue
cess of the fire BRICK Industry AMI
through hls careful management ha
made the Fulton Fire Brick and Min
ing Company's plant one of the lead
ing concerns of its kind in the West.
Mr.. Nickel understands the fir
brick business thoroughly as is prove
by his successful management Of tn
Fulton plant and his invention of til
new furnace for the more economies
conduct of the business is auotbe
strong proof of his ability,

CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
Much Misery Is Due TO Poverty Of the
Soil, Much More 70 Other
Causes.

When the quality, not the guam
tity, of the land is considered, the
sight of the boulder-sttewn fields,
barren hillsides and wet morasses
makes it easy TO realize how few
months might create a famine. A
special board has been appointed,
to improve the condition of these
districts, and is doing its best tOl
promote industries, reclaim boys
and remove tenants from hope
less holdings.
Nevertheless, says the Youths
Companion, much misery remains
incurable by any of those meas
ures, and it is a fact significant OF
something radically amiss that
while so many people are strug-
Cling for subsistence on untillable
soil, or quitting the country in de-
spair, great tracts of good land
have gone out of cultiyatiOn or are
used for grazing only. Unfortu-
nately there is a wide diversity OF
opinion as to where the sovereign
remedy lies, although almost eV-
erybody agrees about the urgent
necessity for it.
One step in the right direction
is to assist the peasant farmer in
his buying and selling, When one
cent will purchase an egg or two,
and half a dozen cents a chicken,
the little farmers wife gets but
a meager reward for her trudge
with a heavy basket to fair or viii
lage store. The storekeeper is
often the 'gombeen-man," who
Pounds his fortune by his dealings,
on ruinOus terms, with his needy
+ neighbors, and who, like the city

Light railways to carry off the
poultry and cooperative cream.
cries that pay fairly for milk are
now bringing within reach or
pOrtunities of which the farmer
ayails himself.
Content with scanty and mo
notOnous fare is a virtue which
leans almost to a failing in the
Irish peasant. Should he be abb,
to afford a bit of bacon along will
his potatoes, and to supplement
his stirabout with a griddlecak
and a cup of tea, so much the bet
ter; but should such dainties b.
unattainable, we'll and good; h
can do finely without them, if tina
is all that ails him. And he is a.
