Hon. q. N. Haston at Altamont

Special to Mrs Grundy.
Altamont, Oct. s, 1904.--Hon.
E. M. Haston, of Van Buren,
County, the Democratic nominee
to represent this Pictorial dis
trict in the next general assem-
bly, spoke here Saturday to q
number of enthusiastic listeners.
His claims are clear, honest and
easy understood by all loyal sup
porters of Democracy. He is an
able, ambitious young man, and
a most available representative
for this district, of which the
people should feel proud.

3. N. Haston.


Mr.. E. N. Haston, the Demo-
crat nominee for Floater of the
Eleventh district, addressed the
people of Tracy City last Friday
night. Mr.. Haston is a young
democrat from Van Buren, coun-
ty who will represent his district
with credit to himself and his
constituents. Some of our DEM
ocrats were not satisfied with
the action of the convention
that nominated Mr.. Haston on
the ground that according to the
rotation agreement it was Sc
quachee County's time to put up
the candidate. Grundy county's
delegation did not attend the
convention and as the majority
of the delegates present believed
that the candidate presented by
Sequachee county could not be
elected, they chose Mr.. Haston.
Democracy means majority rule,
and no one can consistently COM
plain If the majority of the con-
vention saw fit to ignore the ro-
tation agreement, and those who
have met Mr.. Haston must agree
that the convention that nomi-
mated him deserves congratula-
tion for their choice.
Following is a brief sketch of
Prof. L. N. Haston:
He is a native Van Buren,
county boy. The earlier part Of
his life being spent on the farm,
and while there attended the
district schools within reach of
him. Later he entered school at
Burritt College, where he is now
teaching. He remained in
school there four years, but not
continuously, as he had an am
bition to pay his own way in
school, which he done by teach.

Cause of Lockjaw.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused
by a bacillus or germ which ex-
lists plentifully in street dirt. 1t
is NATIVE so long as exposed to
the air, but when carried beneath
the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is exclud-
ed the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent
poison known. These germs may
be destroyed and all danger of
lockjaw avoided by applying

WheeI1ess Clocks.


A German has invented a new clock
system which has some original fea-
lures worthy of mention. The system
is that of master clock which con-
trolls electrically as many individual
clock installations as may be required.
The clock which is installed in the
house or place of business of the sub
scriber to the system, is similar to the
ordinary one inasmuch as it has face
and two hands, but the works are re-
placed by a couple of magnets and a
balance wheel. The master clock is
provided with transmitting appara-
tus designed to be operated by the
movement of the hands. An impulse
is sent from the wires when the hands
of the master clock advance one min
ute on the face of the dial. This i'm
pulse affects the magnets in the small
clocks in such way that the hands
are advanced the same amount as were
the hands of the master clock. This
operation is kept up Indefinitely, 21d,
OF course, all the small clocks keep
exactly the sane time as the master
clock. The email clocks are inexpen-
sive and comparatively little current
is required to operate the system.
The invention is in successful opera
ton in several towns in France and
Germany, and is at present being in
troduced into England.

In condemning intemperance Mrs
Logan said recently.

Jones. Fawcett drank to excess, and
he used to declare that whisky was

he fell into puddle on the way home,
and in this puddle he lay snoring un-

"A clergyman who had risen early

Emperor Meneiik Flattereo..

Sir John Harrington, who has been
made minister plenipotentiary from
King Edwards court to that of Meme
1tk Of Abyssinia; was, appointed Brit
ish agent in Abyssinia in 1898. He has
done many things to establish cordial
relations between the two countries.
One of his great achievements was
to persuade her late majesty to speak
into photograph message to Meme
Xix and his empress. It was the only
time she ever consented to such an
experiment, and it was done then on
the express understanding that when
the message had once been spoken
the record should be destroyed. Meme
lik was SO excited when he heard the
great queens message in her own
voice that he repeatedly stopped the
machine in order to have salute fired
and his empress was so fattered to
hear her, own name mentioned that
she called out her bodyguard as a
mark of respect.

Steam Versus Electricity.

The steam railroads vary greatly in
their attitude toward electric compe-
tition, says Ray Morris in the At
lantic, but it has been almost the uni
form experience of railroad manage
ers, east and west, that rate cuts to
meet electric competition are quite
futile. Electric transportation handles
traffic in small units. The power-house
Is the locomotive, and it can haul ten
single cars as easily as it can train
OF ten cars coupled together-more
easily, in fact. But in steam service,
to reverse the figure of speech, each
transportation unit must have it's own
powerhouse. Disregarding technical
reinements, it may, be said that it
would cost a steam railroad five
times as much to run an hourly,
single-car train during ffteen-hour
day as it would to run three five-car
trains. That is the primary reason
on the side of absolute cost which
makes it imposs- BILE for a steam road
to compete with an electric road for
light short-haul traffic.
