of said lighting plant, and whereas,
the present manager of the said light
ing plant has refused to furnish light
to customer when requested, and
whereas, in the opinion Of this council
the said company, it's successors and
assigns, should have all right to main
tain said lighting plant annulled, there
fore be it resolved that the city attor
ney be and he is hereby authorized and

LOST MAN SHOWS UP
A. o. Scott Who Disappeared from
Near Bruce Last Year Is in
Missouri.

A. o. Scott, who mysteriously disap-
peared from his home near Bruce
year ago, has made his appearance at
his former home in Savannah, Mo.
Such is the information conveyed to
w. S. Boyer in letter from that
point. Mr.. Scott's people live at Sa-
vannah and were glad to welcome him
home. The letter gives no informa-
ton as TO the cause of the peculiar con-
duet of the man.
AS Mr.. Scott disposed of his proper
ty before leaving Rusk county, he
probably will not return.
Mr.. Scott was Sunday closing en-
thusiast and friction on that score was
the cause of his troubles in this county.

CHICAGO COURT SCANDALS
4 Case Which Appears Typical
and Promotive of Distrust.

Those who persist in declaring and
those who profess to believe that our
courts are supreme in purity, willreceive
a setback from the following:
Chicago ILL.,, Nov. 1.-Chicago's judi
cial scandal is not to stop with the in
vestigation of the conduct of Superior
Judge Chetlain alone. The Bar associa-
tion is preparing request for Judge
Chetlain' 8 resignation, it is true, but
this demand will be accompanied by a
recommendation for grand jury in
quiry, not only of Judge Chetlain, but
of many others jurists whose actions on
the bench, he says, established apreced-
ent for his own.
Duri ng his examination, now conclud-
ed, Judge Chetlain admitted to the Bar
association:
That his debts amount to about S39, 900.
That he borrowed money from his
clerk, E. J. thinner, and afterward
appointed the latter receiver in many
cases.
That Porto Rican mining company,
in which he is interested, is being
operated in the managers name to avoid
payment of a heavy tax.
That he has assigned his salary as a
member of the bench.
That he prepared his decision in at
least one important criminal case, free
ing the prisoners, without waiting for
the completion of the attorneys plea.
That he was familiar with plan by
which an agent was cheated out of a
mining property in which the Judge was
interested. The agent was himself try
ing to cheat those who subsequently out
generated him.
That he received presents of mining
stock in return for the use of his name
in approval of mining property about
which he knew nothing.

LATEST ABOUT DIETz C. C. GETTINCA AT WORK
Committees Are Appointed and the
Organization Is Ready for Con-
tinn0us Qamnairn

tinuous Campaign.
Ladysmith has never had brighter
outlook than at" present. Two new
industries within the past few months
make considerable addition to the
early future of the city. More is doubt
less in store for own town.
AS is natural this gain has again
awakened the people of the city to
what may be done and a commercial
club, organized on a vigorous basis is
the result.
This club, by meeting of the board
of directors appointed two committees
of Importance the personnel of which
indicates that this club will be an ele-
ment in the future of the city.
Committee on Sites-J. w. Miller,
chm, J. o. Sinclair, Thomas Baker,
w. T. Rooney and L. Jorgenson.
Committeeon Finance-R. S. Johnson,
chm, III. A Dimock and T. M. Thomas.
The News sees in this organization
of working forces the active force of
the city placed to the front for action
that will accomplish much in securing
industries and build up our activities.
These committees are made up of
men whose efforts have been success
ful-they are men who represent some
thing substantial and they are active
men. They are men who inspire the
confidence of the people at home and
who will impress visitors. The city
is indeed fortunate in having organized
a commercial club that in all respects
promises so much for the future.
This club has a wide field for it's
activities. There are every day people
looking for locations and there are
ways of reaching these people. When
reached, we have advantages with
which to impress them. The issue is
one of activity-the demand is for
persistence and impressiveness and the
organization promises both.

BIG STRIKE DECLARED OFF.

The powerful Wall-street interests,
aided by the United States Steel Cor
poration, have declared that there will
be no miners strike. They claim to
have accomplished what President
Roosevelt started out to do, and if the
strike is declared off, as there is every
reason to believe it will be, the action
of the steel corporation, primarily, will
be responsible, they claim. Francis j.
Robbins, President of the Pittsburgh
Coal Company, while in New York the
other day received these orders:
1.-The United States Steel Corpora
ton will not stand for any strike at
present in this bituminous coal regions,
at least in that portion from which we
draw our coal. We have a twenty-five
year contract with the Pittsburgh Coal
Company which must be taken care of
or given up. Give those miners their
advance and keep them working or the
United States Steel Corporation will
grant the advance themselves where it
will do good. We have one years solid
work ahead and cannot afford to have
our mills shut down even for day for
lack of coal.

FINDING A LEADING MAN FOR
DAILY.

The ways of the late Augustin DAILY
never grow tiresome. They furnish a
mine of Renaissance and anecdote that
seem never to exhaust itself. Clara
Morris knew Augustin Daily better, per-
haps, than any of his personal or pro-
fessional friends who have survived
him. For years she was leading lady
for his company, and later become his
adviser in many of his enterprises. Her
Looking Backward in the March Nc
Clure's, is charming and intimate bit
OF anecdOte. She tells of how when
she was starting for Europe on a vaca-
ton, Mr.. Daily sent for her and gave
her the rather difficulty mission of
visiting all the theaters in London in
search of the leading man. During this
search for the needle in the haystack
she saw Sir Henry Irving for the first
time. and returning, told Mr.. DAILY of
her impressions of him. DAILY was en-
thusiastic, excited. Evidently he was
planning big things to revolve about Ir-
wing; but she added that Irving had
peculiarities of gesture and enuncia-
ton, and down tumbled the castles in
the air. Miss Morris, however, had
found leading man for DAILY, and he
was Charles Coghlan. Clara Morris
writes well; there can be no doubt
about that latter you have read Look
ing Backward" DAILY is more than g
name to Eyou; you feel as though you
had seen the man and talked to him.

THE GLORY OF STRUGGLE.
By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory.


The young man, who in fit of the
blues the other day, threw himself into
the East River from the deck of the
ferryboat Texas, did not realize what
he was missing.
There is no game SO thrillingly in
teresting as the game of life, and the
man who has the chance to play it and
refuses to do so deprives himself of the
keenest pleasure conceivable.
1t has been said thousand times
that life is a BATTLE
Ay, it is land there is where the
glory and the joy of the business come
in!
Life is battle, and to stand in the
battle-line and fight, never despairing.
never showing the white feather. with
courage undaunted, holding the face
toward the enemy until its lines are
broken and victory sits upon your stan
dard-that is where the true grandeur
and blessedness of existence are foundI
Some once said: Life is like a game
OF whist; am not particularly fond of
1T, but since the cards have been placed
in my hands am going to play them
for all they are worth. y
That is the spirit to have in ones
breast! That is the spirit that wins
victories and keeps the world a-moving
up grade
No matter what your theories may
happen to be concerning the existence
IN the midst of which you find yourself
it is your privilege, if you will have it
so, to get whole lot of solid comfort
out of the affair.
To struggle, and through the strug-
gle to grow strong, and in the strength
to win the prize for which YOU are
striving, is there any intoxication to be
compared with that, any pleasure or
joy that is worthy of being compared
with it?
What if there are troubles, what if
there are difficulties in the way, what
if the skies are dark bring your teeth
together, knit your brows, screw your
courage up, and pitch in!
The bigger the troubles, the more
stubborn the difficulties, the darker the
clouds that hang over your heads, the
moreirmly you should resolve to press
on.
You may be defeated, but you are not
defeated yet, and still there is room
| for victories and in that thought of vic
tory there is enthusiasm enough to hold
up In the darkness and the most tryiny
hour.
Readers of this paper will remember
the words of Paul Jones to the English
Captain who called on him to know if
he had surrendered: Surrender. hellr
Re just begun to fightr',
We ought to go into the business of
living as Paul Jones went into his fight
with the Scraps to live, not to die !;
to win, not to lose.
There was not moment during that
terrible struggle when Paul Jones felt
like giving up the fight.
Let the spirit of the Father of the
American Navy" be in the breast of

A TURKISH LEGEND.

Why the Much Married Man Got to
the Mosque First.
Some years ago, when General Tew-
fix Hussein was the Turkish minister
at Washington, he objected to the GU
riOus questions the newspaper inter-
viewers asked him about the harem.
One interviewer, however, told the
funny story about Brigham Young and
his many wives, and it induced the
minister to reciprOcate.
There is Turkish legend" he said,
''tO the effect that if man prays sew
en- consecutive mornings alone in the
mosque for good luck it will come.
Near st. Sophia mosque, Constantine
pie, poor man lived who tried to car
nv out the injunctiOn; but, when he
kneeled, to his chagrin he always saw
another man who had arrived first.
The fourth morning he could restrain
himself no longer and cried out: What
is the secret Of your getting to the
mosque FIRST? I get up early and lose
NO time The other man asked, How
many wives have you - When he an
swered One, the fortunate man said:
You can never get to the mosque ear
lier than l. for l have four wives.
When / wake up one brings me my
clothes, another gets my shoes. third
prepares my bath, and the fourth
cooks breakfast The result is l lose
no time. Now, my friend, go at once
and marry three other wives, and you
will know the secret of my arriving

'The poor Turk followed the advice,
and very soon he knew why the man
with four wives got to the mosque
first-he stayed there in preference to
STAYING at home. "-LeSlie's WnntlU.

Z 1ridEe Kept In Repair by MusseYs.
The byssus. or silky beard, by which
the mussel nloors itself to the stone. is
a familiar object of our sea rocks. 1t
is i'll its nature like the silk of the silk
worm and exudes in a glutnous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following is an instance in which
the moOring of the mussel was useful
to erect purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: A large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town Of
BiddefOrd, in Devonshire, crosses the
TOrrldge river near the spot of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
SO very rapidly here that it was found
Impossible to keep the bridge in repair
by means of mortar. The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed in
bringing muSsels to it, and the inter-
stices of the bridges are filed by hand
with these mussels. 1t is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely by the strong threads which
these muSSels fix to the stOnewOrk. and
by an act or grant it is crime liable
to transportation for any person TO re-
move the mussels unless in the pres
ence and by the consent of the cor
poratiye trustees.-Scottisll Nights.

Vegetables and Frnitn.

The term vegetable has reference to
the whole or any part of plant culti-
waited especially with reference to use
at the table. But the use of the word
vegetable doesn't always depend upon
cooking. for celery is vegetable and
apples are fruit whether eaten raw or
cooked One would suppose the toma-
to to be entitled to the term fruit, for
the method of its raising resembles
that of fruit. But it is usually called
vegetable, whether eaten raw or cook
ed, in spite of its appearance. The
ounce is so fruitlike in appearance
SO resembling apples, pears, etc, that
1T persists in being called fruit though
eaten only when cooked. Sometimes
the vegetable is a bud, as with cab
bages and brussels sprouts; leaves, as
spinach; stems above ground, as as
paragus; stems enlarged (tubers) I'M
foreground, as common potatoes, or
roots, as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets
and carrOtS.-St. Nicholas.

Tobacco the .NatiOnaI Flower,

Tobacco the "Natfona1 Flower"
If the great republic must have a

blossom, which might come into the
flower gardens but for it's rank and
disagreeable oder. The Indian corn, or
maize, is another plant indigenous to
the United States and was found in
use as food by the Indians from Vir-
ginia to Massachusetts. But if we
must have flower that is esteemed as
such without regard to any economic
considerations or unitarian qualities,
why not adopt the laurel Q.aurus lati-
