LANTERN LAMp.sHADEs

One of the most important fac
tors in making a room cheerful is
properly shaded lights. The lamp
shades exhibited in the shops are
either expensive or unattractive,
and there seems TO be nothing sim
pie and artistic for modest tastes.
The want seems to be filled, how
ever, by the suggestions offered in
the October DEF INEATOR for con-
verting the ordinary Japanese Ian
tern into lampshades, which can be
done very successfully if one can
Judge from the Illustrations.
Many of these japanese lanterns
are most attractive, while not
costly, and they are found in all
sorts of bizarre shapes, some of
which L excellently adapted to
this purpose. They can be fitted
to lamps. to gas chandeliers and
standards, and even to electric
drop lights and erect bulbs, so that
the idea seems to have u wide field
in home decoration.

Platform Adopted by Pro.
Go. Convention.

Resolved, That the Prohibition
lists of Potter county hereby dis
claim and repudiate the charge
that they I in politics for the
sake of the Offices, and for that
reason have placed in nomination
but three candidates to fill the lead
ing offices, as representing the
greatest issue before the American
people.
Resolved, That the theory of the
old parties, that county and state
officials have nothing to do with
enforcing prohibitory laws until
they are furnished with sworn COM
plants, is opposed to and destruc-
tive of good government, and we
declare it to be the purpose of the
Prohibition party, when it is plac-
ed in power, to relieve the indi-
vidual of the necessity of being u
spy and informer, in order to far
nish county officers with evidence.
Resozued. That Potter county,
being situated next to and adjoin-
ing the Cheyenne River Indian
Reservation, needs and demands a
party in power which will at least
aid in enforcing the U. S. statute
against giving or selling liquor to
Indians.
Resolved, That we consider that
good government at home. and the
protection of our fresides from
the vices and crimes charge
able to the saloon, to be far more
important to the American people
than the patroling of the Philip
pine islands or the kind of a tariff
in force in Porto Rico.
Rcsolved, That the two old par
ties are in practical agreement on
the public issues which have divid-
ed them in the past, such as tariff,
gold standard, expansion, ETC.. and
consequently do not represent the
spirit Of advancement or progress.
Resotped, That we endorse the
nominees and platform of the Ma
tional Prohibition party. also those
of the state of South Dakota.

original of the indispensable mariners COM
pass of to-day.
The modern mariners compass, it is
called, is a delicate bar of steel pivoted in
the center and free to swing. When the
bar has been magnetized by contact with a
lodestone or permanent magnet it will, no
matter how turned. always come to rest
due north and south.
The compass is the indispensable guide
for every ship-its faithful pilot across the
trackless seas. By its aid Columbus dis
covered the Western hemisphere. Without
it no ship OF to-day would leave port. Its
value as an invention is so very great that
no price could possibly be put upon it.
The power that makes the compass needle
point north and south and the power which
made the lodestone is the power which will
eventually be utilized by Interchangeable
earth currents.

l1EN2Ml yond question of doubt.
- Some day we shall be using the
magnetic earth currents to furnish us with
light, heat and power, just as we are now
using our natural waterfalls for such very
purposes.
That this earth of ours is daily being
swept by giant waves of magnetic energy
has ceased to be a mooted questlon-scl-
ence comedies it. In a current magazine
article no less an authority than Professor
Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, speaks of earth currents, not as
fancies, but as facts.
The origin of the theory that this earth
is magnetic is interesting, dating as 1t does
far beyond the Christian era.
Way, way back, as far as in the days of
the early Greeks, we find men vaguely sus-
picioning that a mysterious and mighty
something was coursing through this old
world OF ours-a mighty yet indefnable,
intangible something
Yet while they pondered an unknown
Greek. wandering along the base of a
rugged and UNEMPLOYED mountain of mag

the mountains, in the rubbish of years he
noticed two dirty brown stones clinging to-
gether, end TO end.
Drawing his sword, he attempted to sep
arate them. when, TO his utter amazement,
as we'll as horror. they chung to his naked
sword as though gripping it with unseen
impish hands.
His first impulse was to cast them from
him as being possessed of devil, but upon
second thought he gathered them up and
carried them to the wise men of Athens. so
that they might cast out the devils and
destroy them.
The stones were lodestones. or what are
now known as natural magnets; they de-
rived their name from first being found in
magnesia.
Large quantities of these lodestones are
TO be found in many parts of the world;
in fact. they are quite common in New
York and New Jersey. Lodestones are but
iron ore, with the peculiar and interesting
trait of not only absorbing the earth's
magnetism. but of returning it,

Howard County Murder Of Half Century Ago
Whose Perpetrators Were Never Punished
The Case Of Miss Shafer Recalls it to the Mind
of the One Aged Citizen Who is Now Fa-
mliar with the Circumstances, and Who at
the Time Was Suspect

RAREY, eighty-two years
HI old, anu a resident of Kokomo. is
- the only person. far as known,
ts4&i in Howard county, who knows
@ anything definite about the cir
cumstances of the death of Nelson Brewer
in 1S47. Mr. Rarey was himself arrested
for his supposed connection with the af-
fair. but shortly afterward was released. it
being evident that he was an innocent man.
The story is one of pathos and the
tragedy of a disappointed love, of the
cruel consequences of parental opposition
of blghted affection.
Nelson Brewer, a handsome and gallant
Kentuckian, came one day into the rural
neighborhood of Howard township. east of
Kokomo, Ind, to work as a hired man in
the fields. 1t was not long until he con-
ceived an attachment for the cookbook
Ing daughter of one of the farmers of the
settlement, Miss Garrigher. 1t an
attachment which did not please the girls
father When Brewer left the settlement
one day for a short visit to his native State
he told his sweetheart that he would soon
return and they would then be married.
Weeks passed and no word came from the
lover. If his bethrothed felt the sting and
reproach of his silence and neglect and
seeming desertion she said not a word to
anyone.
The young man who was a favorite of
the young lady's father pressed his suit,
and in time accepted by the young
woman, and the marriage soon followed
To the surprise of everyone, Brewer. the
absent lover. appeared one day to claim the
heart and hand he had won. The impulse
to rush to Brewers side was one the young
