more satisfactory piece OF laundry done
than rieh, here in Canon and many peo-
pie notice difference in laundry work
when away from town for few weeks.
The work done at the Canon Steam
Laundry is certainly as good as it could
be done anywhere.
Many housewives or Canon have had
the washing question settled very satisfac-
,orily by sending the bulk Of the wash to
the laundry. The laundry does it up in
what is called the trough dry" work a,
the ridieulously low price of cents per
pounds. This takes away the drudsery OF
washday and costs little more than one
would have to pay for soap and fuel.
Canon City is certainly fortunate in
having a laundry OF the class of this. II
is the pride OF the town.

young man and took special course of

1898 and for taelve years preached for
various churches in Northern Illinois.
A few months ago he resigned to en-
gage in eyangelistic work and has since
been associated with Rev. Sunday.
1t is Rev. Honeywell's ambition to
do evangelistic work on his own re-
sponsbility and he may not remain
With Rev. Sunday when his present
contract expires, although no definite
conclusion has been reached in relation
to the matter. Rev. Honeywell lives
at Harvey, Illinois. suburb of Ctica-
go, and he has wife and three chill
dren, son and two daughters. Dur
ing his visit to Canon City Rev. Honey
well made scores of warm, personal
friends by his earnestness and conse
Grafton and they will follow his career
with much interest. There is nothing
superfluous in what he says or does.
Everything counts with Rev. Honey
well. His statements, whether from
the platform, or in ordinary. conversa-
tion, are as clear cut as cameo and
there is directness Of purpose about
him that is unmistakable.
Rev. Honeywell is the manager par
excellence and his resignation as Evan
gelist Sundays assistant would create
IAN aching void Wherever he may
go Rev Honeywell may rely upon the
sympathy and interest Of his Canon
City friends.

Mausoleum Worth 100000.
The trustees of the Mckinley National

design for mausoleum submitted by n.
Van Buren, McGonigle, consulting archi-
tect of the board. 1t was decided that
work should be begun at once.
The body of President Mckinley is in

chased tract of land adjoining the GEM
etery, which will be known as Monu-
ment hill. The approach to the hill,
which is seventy-four feet high, called
"The Mall" is 600 feet long and will be
beauti6ed at an expense Of $4,000.
Along the middle of this mall, with a
wide walk on either side, will be an ar

form part of the mausoleum. From
the foot of the hill to the top of the
mausoleum the height of the stone struc-
ture will be about 175 feet.
The mausoleum will in general resem-
bic the tomb of Gen. Grant. The main
feature will be a dome about 20 feet in
diameter and 100 feet high. The struc-
ture will be of granite. but the interior
will be finished in white marble. The
entire cost will be 100000.

MOSQUITO A STATE PROBLEM.
New Jersey Will Spend ST. 100000 to
Fight the Insect.

New Jersey is ready to tackle the mos
quito as a State problem, mosquito de-
stroying bill having been passed by the
lower house of the State Legislature. 1t
appropriates State aid to the amount of
81 900 a year for first and second class
cities and $500 a year in all other mu-
inequalities having marsh lands in which
mosquitoes breed.
First and second class cities are to
bear so per cent and the other munich
palities GO per cent of the cost Of these
battles against mosquitoes within their
borders. The State will supply the bal
ance, up to the limit of $1,000 for each
first and second class cities and $500
each for the smaller municipalities. If
all the mosquito infected communities
apply for State aid this year, the total
expenditure may run anywhere from
$4,000 to 100000, and this will repre-
sent only about one-fourth of the whole
amount to be expended. The balance
will be borne by the separate municipali-
ties.
Two practical methods are proposed
for fighting mosquitoes. The first consists
in destroying the eggs and larvae and
the other in preventive measurements
ing it impossible for the insects to breed.
To carry out the latter plan it is pro-
posed to drain the marsh lands of the
State and to fill up all holes in the earth
where water might lodge temporarilS-
Boards of Health will be required to see
that the catch basins of sewers are flush
ed with water frequently and that cess
pools are made alright. Rain barrels
and other receptacles will be kept free
from stagnant water and cellars, if nee
essary, will be fumigated. The campaign
against mosquitoes will be carried, it is
proposed, into every corner of New Jer-
sey.
Among the natural enemies of adult
mosquitoes are spiders, frogs, toads, liz
ards, bats and birds. The larvae and
eggs are eaten by fish, especially bass,
sunfsh, pike, club suckers, perch and
goldfish. A part Of the plan of attack
will be to keep ponds, lakes and foun-
tain pools stocked with misunderstanding
fish
