ISSnURI TRAGEDY.

All the things don't happen in Kan sas. Occasionally there is something doing in Missouri. For instance. a wellto-do, good looking young bach elor of Jefferson City was being bad gered by the young ladies of a club there for not getting married. He said: "Tll marry the girl of your club which, on secret vote, you elect to be my lit tie wife, There were nine members of the club. Each girl went away in a corner and used great caution in pre- pairing her ballot and disguising her handwriting. The result was that there were nine votes cast, each girl receiv- ing one. The young man remains a bachelor, the club is broken uI and the girls are all mortal enemies, united in the one determination that they will never speak to that nasty fellow again.
 This tragedy teaches, but we will not try to point out what it teaches. Per- haps the young man knew and per- haps he learned something. If he knew he was as wise as Solomon when Solo, mon ordered the baby cut in two. If he didn't know he knows now. Evi- dently the girls suspect that he knew.

whole or in part, as in its judgment may be necessary for the abatement of the nuisance.
 Probably the Pennsylvania legislature will not accommodate the governor in this way. though about a year ago 1t did pass an anti-cartOOn bill for him. The result of this has been to make it a very risky business for the smaller newspapers in the State to publish car tOons of any nature. while the richer and stronger newspapers, the newspa- pers in the larger cities, have gone on publishing cartoons in violation of the Pennypacker law. just as though there were no such statute upon the books. The papers that Pennypacker would reach have not been touched. The pa- pers which he did not aim to strike down have been crippled. No one has dared to attempt to enforce the anti cartoon law, because it is believed to be unconstitutional.
 The talk is that Pennypacker is seek ing to strike at the Philadelphia North American, a newspaper owned by John Wanamaker. The North American is an independent newspaper. It tells it's readers just what it thinks of Penny packer, and it doesn't think very well of him.

s ANFPACKER AGAIN.

Governor Pennypacker of Pennsylva- mia hasn't been exactly suited with the course of some newspapers and so in his message he recommends that the legis- lature do something to suppress news papers that don't do right. The pro- cedure under the act would be as fol- lows: Upon complaint of six citizens the attorney-general, if in his judgment a prima facie case had been made out,
 would file a bill in equity in the court of common pleas for the county in which the offending newspaper was published, and then upon the trial of the cause, if the evidence shall show the habltual publication and dissemina- ton of false. defamatory or scandalous statements or representations, whether in the form of news, comment or illus
 tration, it shall be the duty of the court to make decree directing the suppress sion of the publication of the newspa- per or newspapers, journal or journals, periodical or periodicals, pamphlet or pamphlets, or circular or circulars, in

LARGE GIVING.

When Andrew Carnegie started in to escape the disgrace of dying rich peo-
 pie were surprised and some wondered
 how long and how far he would persist
 in his strange ambition. He hasn't im-
 poverished himself yet, and perhaps he
 will not live long enough to be able to,
 with some of the most enterprising and able men in the world working to keep
 his money supply up. But he has given away a lot of money. For in-
 stance. the statement is authoritatively made that he has, up to the present
 time, given or pledged himself to give 1,290 library buildings to the English speaking people. Of these 779 are in
 the United States. The aggregate cost of these buildings is sS9,S25, ,24O, of
 which $2s,094,OS0, or practically three fourths of the whole, has been expend- ed in this country, about $6,000,000 in England. about $2.o0o0oo in Scotland,
 and $1, ,475,5OO in Canada. The proportion of the total population which MT. Car negie has supplied with library facili-
 ties is, for the aggregate of the Eng llish-speaking race, little more than
 IS per cent, and that is the percentage
 for the United States, for England and for Canada, taken separately. This
 means that eighteen in each one hum dred persons, in all and in each of these countries, have free and conven- tent access to books by reason of MT. Carnegie's beneficence. These are
 mostly dwellers in towns and cities. It is condition of library activity and usefulness that there shall be some density of population at the nucleus, and it is a condition of MT. Carnegie's gifts also that the communities SUD-
 piled shall expend annually a sum equal to 10 per cent. of the cost of the
 building. for the maintenance and up- keep of the libraries; that is, for poOhS, lLhlhAy SCA fASCS tbtiu LCpeLitS S' III other words, town accepting a. s50,O00 building must pledge itself to expend
 $5,O0O per year to keep the library go- ing. As this money has to be raised by taxation, it becomes common in- terest. Everybody has a share in it, everybody feels at liberty to. use the
 library, and everybody is interested in it's good administration.
 This is the way MT. Carnegie does
 his library work. The other day this
 paper, with others, remarked that Mr. Carnegie gave money to some things
 on condition that his name be attached to them. We have received note from MT. Carnegie's private secretary
 saying for MT. Carnegie that MT. Car- negie never asked his name to be given
 to anything and never expects to do so. We gladly make the correction and apologize for giving currency to the misleading statement.

COOPERATIVE IRRIGATION.

What cooperation and irrigation can do in some parts of this country is in dicated by what they have done and are doing at Hinsdale, Montana. The irri- gation system there will water sixty one-hundred-ands dsixty-acre farms. The work was all done by the owners of the farms and each mans work and team was credited with the cost of the construction. The cost of the building of the dam, the main canal and the lateral ditches and actually getting the water onto the land, is about $5 per acre. This is an extremely favorable condition and the men who have gone into this undertaking are fortunate
 They now have land with a perpetual water right. The crops are assured and the homestead will produce $1,5Oo a year, above all expenses and living, as surely as though 1t was sub-station of the government with that salary at tached. Better than that, it will pro- duce, with intelligent handling by some owners, $2.OOO or $2,50O, for agriculture in this entire northwest is just emerg- ing from a state of comparatively -erude farming. Hinsdale was flag station" with not twenty-five dollars worth of business month, but the ad- dition of this irrigation center makes it's 9,600 acres capable of the following production annually at a low estimate, considering the soil and the products of similar properties; wheat at S5 bushels

There is no light in this labyrinth of streets, crossings and turnings except that which the sputtering candles afford. All is dark and damp, with the ther- rilometer down about zero.

The descriptions ill the Bible have been followed, and the outlines taken from the most an cient representation known of the ark, which is given on an Apamean coin of 300 B. c. Recently trial trip was taken and the ark, which is one of 200 tons burden, behaved splendidly.
