Justice Sheldon. Captain Flaherty was
Douglas choice for chairman Of the
state committee, when he was running
for governor. It was Captain Flaherty
who was largely instrumental in having
General Nelson "A, Miles come to this
state to become member Of Governor
Douglas staff. Another appointment
made was that Of Harry J. Skeffington
commission to succeed Captain Flaherty.
Mr.. Skeffington was a shoeworker, who
at one time wassin the employ Of Mr..
Douglas and when the latter became
candidate, organized among the labor
organizations what became known as
the Douglas flying wedge just
what the flying wedge was is not easy
to explain, but it is supposed to have
turned a large labor vote for Douglas.

FLOATING Nests,


When mother grebe is ready to
lay her eggs she searches out some
retired spot, among the reeds and
rushes of lonely lake, and there she
scrapes and pushes together low
heap of mud and decayed reeds. says
c. William Beebe, in Recreation.
Here on the water-logged islet-this
merest semblance of a nest-she
broods her eggs. A moose splashing
among the nearby lily pads may send
floods of water over the sitting bird.
or the winds may disentangle the lit
tie raft of reeds, sending it scudding
to the farther end of the lake, but the
bright eyes of the mother bird never
falter. She carefully covers her eggs
with decayed leaves whenever hun
ger forces her TO leave them. AL
though she does not weave the reeds,
yet in some way they hold together
until the last little grebe crawls to
the edge and plunges off head-frst
Or he may leap upon his mothers
back and thus ride proudly forth into
the world, exchanging the soaked, de-
cayed leaves Of his cradle for her
feathers.

GAS AND WATER
rs ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER7
Citizens Of Large Cities Say II Is.

New York, June 13.-In the recent
agitation here about the price OF gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon a supply OF good
water.
II has come to pass that the day
laborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account OF its
convenience. Gas for lighting. with
modem improvements in burners, is
cheaper, better and more satisfactory
than any other kind Of light. Gas
sells at s1.00 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies. Acetylene is a
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent Of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
inventions that have become daily
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft, steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. If water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making Of this wonder
full gas. The generation of acetylene
is so simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
II. If il is desired to make it for prac-
tical lighting, and TO keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" Is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
and towns, in the same manner as
ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the
only satisfactory means of lighting
isolated buildings located in the coun-
try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at Washington, Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
to that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
II think the railways should make
their own rates | think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. | have never advocated any
law. and am not now in favor OF
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While 1t
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while 1t Is
done In come countries, am opposed
TO II. The railway rate Is
property. II is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest OF its
property is not good for anything un-
less II can charge a rate. Now II has
always seemed to me that when a
rate was fixed, II that rate was an un-
reasonable rate, II deprives the rail-
road company OF its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; 1t is not necessary that you
should say that 1t chall not earn thTS1
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that Is Inherently
unreasonable. you have deprived that
company OF its rights. Of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has Jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment 10 restrain that.
| have looked at these cases
a great many times, and | can only
come to the conclusion that rail-
road company is entitled to charge
fair and reasonable rate, and IL any
order of a commission. IL any statute
of st"te legislature takes away that
rate the fourteenth amendment pro.
tects TIE railway company"

Electric Chair In View.

Fred Castor, noted crook who es-
capped from Jackson prison hospital
June %, 1904, while feigning illness, is
under arrest at Columbus, o., for
shooting an officer dead while resist
ing arrest. He now faces a charge of
murder and the electric chair after
a career filled with nervy deeds. The
first prison record OF Castor as far as
known, was his sentence TO four years
at lonia reformatory from Kalamazoo
in December, 1898, on a charge OF
breaking and entering house in the
night time. His home was at Flint
and friends interceded for a parole,
which was granted as a New Years
gift by Gov Pingree December 81,
1900. HIS parole expired April 13, 1902,
and a month later Castor was again
In the tolls for a daredevil act In
Bay City. He was later captured in
Saginaw, after a pistol duel in the
streets with the officers, and was sent
enced TO four years at Jackson, in
June, 1902. In the spring of 1902 Cas-
tor was taken i'll and for three months
was in the hospital of the prison, with
Fred Van Kaul, another prisoner, as
his nurse. On the morning of June 90
1t was discovered that Castor and
Van Kaul had cleverly escaped. Cas-
tor having posed as an invalid until

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYss0N PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.

Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
10 get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
says 81 was suffering from dyspepsia
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which / learned from
friends in France, i have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure i'll living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely n question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larllin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one Of great number who
can testify TO the remarkable efficacy OF
DIR. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
Of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
Ifyon would etrid Of nausea, pain OF
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner.
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other
miseries of n dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, n great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, aud o
little book, "What TO Eat and How &c
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DR. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. This valuable diet book contains
an important chapter on the simplest
means for the cure Of constipation.
