at the council meeting last Monday
n'eht Alderman Wells forced the
ques1lon OF electric lighting to a con.
cluslon as far as the council can 90 at

"nlch embody both majority and
minority reports of the committee
winch had the matter under consid-
eratlon and which had reported at
Cne previous regular meeting. The
minority as will be remembered re
ported in favor of bonding the citv
ana establishing a municipal electric
lighting plant.
Now the propositions of both 70.
ports of the committee are given
dehnlte shape and submitted to the
electorate of the city. Mr.. Wells
proposition is that whereas the pres
emu contract for lighting the streets
is about to expire and cannot be re-
newed and that a city lighting plant
IS therefore a public necessity and
lurther as no funds are in the CITY
treasury for such purpose it becomes
necessary to bond the city for such
purpose. The resolution provides for
issuing bonds to the amount Of s35 :

mat whereas the bonding proposition
is being submitted that at the same
Ilme the voters consider an alternate
proposition, that instead Of bonding
the city for lighting plant a lighting
franchise be offered to the highest

ton, being noted for his bravery and
strategy. After the termination of that
conflict Hays was placed In command
of the small regular force that was
shortly afterward organized and be.
came known to fame as the Texan
rangers. Many were the desperate
fights in which he was engaged with
the fierce Comanches and border In.
which he encountered. He was the
first to supply an armed force with
Colts revolvers for use in battle.
The Indian mode Of warfare In those
early days was to draw their enemy's
fire and then sweep down upon them
like n whirlwInd. plying their bows and
using their long spears with deadly eff.
feet. SO cautious were they in this re.
spect that they soon distinguished the
double barreled gun when 1t was
brought into use and only approached
when they were sure that such weap.
ons had been emptied. On the first oc.
casion when Hays and his rangers,
armed with the reviewers, met n band
on the warpath they allowed their fire
to be literally drawn, and her the In.
dams charged with exultant cries, but
when the revolver was brought into
play at close quarters the panic that
enSued was absolute and the destruc-
ton of the Indians complete. Hays
was colonel of the First Texan regi
ment, the nucleus of which was formed
of veteran rangers.

BLOW TO CATALOGUE HOUSES.
Postoffice Department Knocks Out
Number Mail Delivery.

Omaha, Oct. 5.-Another battle has
been won by the retail grocers in their
fight against the catalogue houses. An
order Of the p~ostoffice department CIV
ing postmasters permission to deliver
mail to rural free delivery boxes when
addressed to them by number only,
has been suspended.
The order in question was issued
Aug. 7. Before the month was over
the retail merchants and their friends
learned that letters and circulars,
hundreds and thousands of them, were
pouring into the farmers of the west
from catalogue houses in Chicago and
other large cities. They were ad-
dressed by the number of the route
and the box.
A trade paper of st. Louis called the
attention of the trade press to the
matter. Trade papers all over the
country took up the matter and as a
result of their efforts and the protests
OF numerous grocers' associations, the
order has been suspended. that part
at least which permits delivery of mail
by number only. The part of the or,
der which permits the postmasters to
furnish lists OF numbers on rural free
delivery routes still stands.

DOciIe Ducks of the Chinese.

In China the duck is much esteemed
as an article of diet, and what may be
called duck farms are common on most
OF the rivers. The birds are taught to
hunt for their food, and the rearing of
them costs little. They are kept In
boats with a platform or deck extend
ing outward on each side. These boats
are taken to the shallow, marshy parts
by the banks Of the streams, and the
ducks are then driven ashore to enjoy
themselves in the mud flats. So well
are the birds trained that ut a given
signal they cease eating and follow
their leader back into the boat, where
they lie during the night. Ducks pre-
served by being sailed are a favorite
food with the well to do.

THE cheap vault. you see, was built,

st. Fincre.

There Is a pretty bit Of history In
the name of that vehicle, the fiacre. st.
Fiacre was an Irishman of noble birth,
who went over to France in the sew
enth century and lived as a hermit in
a forest near Meaux. His popularity
became very great in the France OF
later centuries. When Savage started
public hackney coaches in Paris in
1910 he found the most convenient
center for them to be an inn in the
Rue st. Martin, named Hotel st. Fiacre
and adorned with an image of the
saint; hence "facre.''

B IN THE WOOD.
A seventeenth Century Incident In
the state of Maine.

the Sthte Oh mhthe.
In 1910 james Adams of York be-
came affronted with one of his neigh
bors, Henry Simpson, and determined
to avenge himself upon two of Slmp-
sons children, whose ages were six
and nine years. In a solitary place
four or five miles from the dwelling
houses OF The inhabitants he built of
logs beside a ledge Of perpendicular
rocks n pen or pound several feet high,
with walls inclined inward from bot
tom to top. After he had built this he
decoyed the children into the woods
under a pretense Of searching for birds
nests and caused them to enter within
the pound, where he left them confined
to perish. The place has since been
called the Devils Invention.
The children were soon missed, and
the alarmed inhabitants searched for
them more than forty-eight hours. The
boys, when aware of their wretched
situation, made various attempts to
get out, and ut length, by digging away
with their hands the surface Of the
earth underneath one Of the bottom
logs, effected their escape. They wan
dered in the woods three days, being
at last attracted TO the seashore by the
noise of the surf, where they were
found.
The depraved criminal was con
demned to have thirty stripes well laid
on, to pay the father of the children
90 IL $40 r. -
charges of the prison, and remain Il
close prisoner during the courts pleas
ure or till further order. The same
month he recognized before two Of the
judges. conditioned to send him, with
in twenty-one days, out of the jurisdic-

The Salt In the Ocean.

If the ocean did not have salt 1t
would freeze somewhat more readily
than 1t does now, but there would be
no very marked difference. The ocean
Is prevented from freezing not so much
by It's salt as by its size and by its
%commotion. On recount Of its size
large portions of 1t extend into warm
climates mt all seasons, and by reason
Of its great depth 1t Is a vast store

PAT GROVE IN OMAHA JAIL.
Notorious Fugitive Declines to Discuss
Cudahy Affair.

Omaha, Oct. 10.-Pat Grove Is in
the Omaha city Jail. The train on
which he was brought in was over
three hours late. Over 5000 people
were at the depot to get a glimpse of
him and a large squad of police had a
busy time keeping an avenue open for
the passage Of the party to the wait
ing patrol wagon. The crowd cheered
good naturally and Grove seemed
somewhat surprised at the demonstra-
ton and the size of the throng.
At Grand Island, where there vas
also a big gathering, Grove sized up
the crowd and remarked to Detective
Dunn: This would be a good place
10 pick the jury"
At the police station Grove was
booked as follows: Name, Pat
Grove. Charge, shooting at with in
tent to wound or kill. Address, Oma-
ha. Arresting officers. Captain Dunn
and Detective Heitfeld."
Among other questions asked a pris-
oner when he Is booked is his occupa.
ton. To this Grove answered:
"Dodging you fellows for the past five
years. You've kept me pretty busy"
Grove was placed in cell No. I,
where he asked that a supper might
be sent in to him, as he had eaten
nothing yet. An extra guard was kept
in the cell all night.
Grove declined to discuss the Cud'
ahy affair at present, but said tina,
the truth would come out at his trial
Chief Donahue said that Grove
would be treated as any other prison
err. The chief makes an emphatic an
nouncement that curious visitors who
want to get a glimpse OF Grove viii
not be admitted to see him In the city
Jail. Everyone except his attorne!
and relatives will be excluded.

GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.
How Their Claims Were Established
II the Middle Ages.

A curious meeting was held In Lyons
on Jan. 4, 1909. The royal commits
sioners solemnly sat In council to de-
tors could be regarded az gentlemen.
1t proved too hard n problem for the
wise heads, and the doctors and law
yers themselves were summoned to
prove their right to gentility. The mat
ter was settled to the satisfaction of
the professional parties.
In the middle ages of England her.
aids went through the counties to ex-
anime into the claims of landholders
to be called gentlemen. There Is in ex-
istence an interesting list of the dis
qualified, and one reads today the
shame of a certain Thomas Robbins
who failed to establish the title and
was writ among the ignoble. Charles
Anscote, Il representative of one of the
Oldest families, Is registered rs Ell
titled to be styled a gentleman, al
though worth not more than $500"
Brooke, an old writer, has given the
world his opinion of what constitutes
a gentleman, and his definition has
never been excelled:
1.-The character, or, rather, quality, Of
a gentleman does not in any degree de-
pend on fashion or mode or state or
opinion; neither does it change with
customs, climates or ages. But, as the
spirit of God alone can inspire it, so it
is that quality of heart which is the
same yesterday, today and forever"

Indian Remedies.

The Indian pharmacopoela comprised
thoroughwort, spurge and Indian hemp,
used as emetics; the bark of the horse
chestnut and butternut, used as cathar-
tics. They were also acquainted with
many poisons, most of which were used
on their weapons. For asthma they
employed tobacco and sassafras, for
coughs slippery elm, for dropsy the
wild go~oseberry. for wounds powdered
pun balls. They treated boils with on
ion poultices.
