Cost of Trip to a Star.

"Let us suppose railway to have
been built between the earth and the
fixed star Centauri;" said the lecturer,
according to the Philadelphia Bulle-
tin. "By consideration of this rail
ways workings we can get some idea
of the enormous distance that inter-
venes between Centaurus and US.
'Suppose that I should decide to
take a trip on this new aerial line to
the fixed star. I ask the ticket agent
what the fare is, and he answers:
1.-The fare is very low sir. It is
only a cent each hundred miles.
" And what, at that rate, will the
through ticket one way cost?' ask.
g 1t will cost just 81, 750, 900, 900, he
answers.
81 pay for my ticket and board the
train. We set off at a tremendous
rate.
" How fast?' I ask the brakeman,
are we going?'
" Sixty miles an hour, SIR says
he, and it's a through train. There
are no stoppages.'
"'We'll soon be there, then, won It
we?' I resume.
"'We'll make good time, SIR says
the brakeman.
"'And when will we arrive?'
I'm just 48, 663, 900 years. -

A Hurricane.

The terrors Of the deep We're perhaps
never more thrillingly set forth than in
the description by a young lady who
last year made her first trip abroad.
She kept diary, very much, says the
New York Herald, like that of Mark
Twain, when for seven days he record
ed the fact that he "got up, washed and
went to breakfast
There was one important exception.
When she crossed the channel the ex-
perience was so trying that she felt
impelled to describe it.

Well Packed.

A lady and her little daughter were
walking through a fashionable street,
when they came to a portion of the
street strewn with straw so as to
deaden the noise of vehicles passing
a certain house.
"What's that for, Ma?' said the
child, to which the mother replied,
"The lady who lives in that house,
my dear, has had a little baby girl
sent her." The child thought mo.
ment, looked at the quantity of straw,
and said: lawfully we'll packed,
wasn't she, Ma?"-Life.

MILO.

At milking time during the summer
months flies are a great pest. An old
farmer says that it is but little trouble
to get rid of them by taking a quart
of water in a potato sprayer add three
or four table spoonsful of kerosene
oil shake we'll and spray the COWS just
before commencing to milk and the
flies will not trouble This amount
will last for several days to spray a
herd of eight or ten COWS.
Small grain of all kinds in Mile
Laos and adjoining counties is look
ing we'll and is making heavy
growth; corn in most places is not
very promising but the months of July
and August may make a great change.
Potatoes rotted some after planting,
but the majority Of fields are very
good and if the rains cease now we
will have large hay crop and when
farmers in this section of country
compare their condition with those in
many other parts Of the country they
have great reason to be thankful.
One of Milos bee-keepers recently
had a swarm of bees abscond and
when asked if he knew where they we're
he replied that they had gone into a
tree but he had not located the tree or
perhaps they had gone to some warmer
and dryer country where there was
some chance to gather honey enough
to live on as the prospect in this Sec
ton of country is very poor for the
honey bee, but there is hope for a bet
ter honey harvest; there is an abund-
ance of clover and bees are gathering
large quantities of honey from it.
Eastwood will soon be in blossom
and we may have a good flow of fall
honey. I@' '~s
G.. W. Borrill of Stevens county
visited with his sister, Mrs. F. G..
Smith of Foley last week and while
there he made a trip to Mr.. Smith s
farm in Milo, also viewed the country
around Foreston, Milaca and Prince
ton and was greatly pleased with it,
He says the crops are good, especially
small grain, and the corn around
Princeton is the best he has seen this
year. He thinks the farmers in this
vicinity ought to be contented and
happy and after taking a drive around
Princeton he said it was a beautiful
little town with it's clean, shaded
streets and it's neat and tasty dwell
ings. He was much pleased with the
large fine school house and was very
favorably impressed with the country
in general. Mr.. Borrill says the sea-
son has been unfavorable for Stevens
county. The hard rains have totally
ruined hundreds of acres of grain that
is now being reseeded with flax; he
thinks the corn crop will be total
failure and potatoes rotted badly af-
ter they were planted. Sloughs and
all low places are full of water and
farmers fear they will be short in their
hay crop and some are afraid of the
rust again this year, but he says that
unless there is change in the weather
and we have hot, burning sun after
rain there is not much danger of rust
on grain.

A SHAMEFUL PROPOSITION.

There are q few officials in the vi
.inity Of this city who are laboring
inder the impression that the law as
Il now ands does not prohibit pub
lie officials from contracting with
themselves. They ascribe this exemp-
lion from the just penalty for such act
10 an error of the legislature inserting
The word mo-" in a section which
they allege nullifies the intent of the
law makers. This alleged brilliant
discovery is laid to the door of some
interested official of Toledo and 1t 10
firmly believed in certain quar- ers
that this is the actual condition OF
affairs. In order to ascertain the
truth of the matter the News here
with publishes the section referred
to which is as fallows:
Section C9G9 r. Sit shall be un.
lawful for any person holding any Of
fee of trust or profit in this state,
either by election or appointment,
or any agent, servant OF employe OF
such officer, or board of such officers
to become direc ly or indirectly in. er-
ested in any contract for the purchase
of any property, supplies or fire in
surance for the use of the county,
township, city, village, hamlet, board
of education or public inst ution wi l.
,,I,ioh bo ic cnnnactnd And II shall
be unlawful for any such person,
agent, clerk, servant o. employe to be-
come interested in any contract for
the purchase of property, supplies or
fire insurance for the use of the coun-
ty, township, city, village, hamlet,
board Of education or public insti-
tuition with which he is mott connect.
ed when the amour. of such contract
exceeds the sum Of $50, unless The
contract is let on competitive bids,
duly advertised as provided by law.
Any person violating the provisions
of this act shall be imprisoned in
penitentiary not more than ten years
lor less than one year.
The above section speaks for itself.
The attorneys who have been asked
concerning it say they can find no
warrant therein to permit of public
officials contracting with themselves.
II it does, there should be no delay
in having the incoming legislature
make II so that there can be no mis-
falyn IN tba paaninu
In this connection the News Is
ashamed that the community has men
in office who would take advantage
OF such an error of the law to even
attempt to use their official position
to contract with themselves and ii
will be the purpose of this paper to
bring to light any case of this kin
and ascertain what the people think
of such conduct.
