THE CErUTES.
Chic2go's Famous Water Park Fur
fishes New Sensations.

ITO more wonderful pleasure resort
exists than Chicago's famous water
park, |fTha Chutes. F"
It's fame is international. This sea-
Gon it offers two sensations which have
set the big city agog. One is "Elter,'''
the Beautiful Mystery of the Lake, -
and the other King Humboldt's Royal
italian Band, led by Maestro francesca
Pczzi. The "Banda Italiana Abruzzi'
is an organization Of forty skilled mu-
sicians, which created furore in Eu-
rope. It is touring the world and will
delight the Chutes' patrons this summer.
"Elter,' who is beautiful young
woman, energies from the depths of the
lake and disappears beneath It's waves
like tabled nymph. Her marvellous
feat amazes and mystifes.
|'Shooting the Chutes" over the
biggest artificial cascades in the world
is the favorite pastime of Chicago.
Shouting and laughing throngs descend
the glistening cascades with the speed
OF the wind until their gay gondolas
splash in the lake and glide swiftly
forward on foam-crested waves to a
placid harbor.

Science Of Dell Ranesrr.

It was Sunday morning, and the bell
ringer had just finished ringing the
chimes that called the godly to church,
BELL ringing Is a science. Did you
know that?" he said eft is called
carlparoIogy, and there are abstruse
and technical terms in it, like Kent
treble bob, 'Stedman cinQues,' double
court bob lodges 'noils' and 'stin-
goes Each Of these terms defines a
certain phase or kind CT bell ringing.
In England there is o society, the Cen
trail Council Of Bell Ringers, that every
campanologist desires ardently to be-
long to. Maybe you think bell ringing
Is simple? Do you know what a peal
Is? A peal in ringers parlance is 4

why the Horsc ueeas the Brglcr.


An interesting report regarding the
development of the musical sense in
horses was made by q committee Of
German biologists and botanists. The
report says: THE Investigations as to
the musical sense Of horses have shown
that that sense is very poorly develop
ed In these animals. 1t has been prov
ed beyond doubt that horses have no
notion whatever Of keeping time to
music and that at circuses they do
not dance according to the tune, but
that tie musicians have to keep time
according to the steps Of the animals.
"Other Investigations show that
horses do not understand military
trumpet signals. It is only the rider
or the animals instinct Of imitation
which induces horses to make the
moves required by the signal, but no
horse without rider, however care
fully trained, takes the slightest no
tice OF a trumpet signal, and the same
observation has been made on large
number CT cavalry horses without
riders"

Studying Nature.

Ths thing to aim at in studying the
beauties IF nature, as IS the case with
all aFflsdc pleasures, is the perception
of G1ality, Of small effects. Many Of
the people who believe themselves to
have an appreciation Of natural seen
cry cannot appreciate it except Oh a
sensational scale. They can derive
certain pleasure from wide prospects
OF startling beauty, rugged mountains,
steep gorges, great fails of waterfall
the things that are supposed to be pie
turesQue But, though this is all very
well as far as Ii goes, it is very ele-
mentary kind Of thing. The perception
of which I speak is a perception which
can be fed in the most familiar scene,
In the shortest stroll, even in a momen-
tary glance from window. The things
to look out for are little accidents OF
light and color, little effects Of chance
grouping, the TRANSPORTATION of some
well known and even commonplace OBJ
ject, such as is produced by the sudden
burst into greenness of the trees that
peep over some suburban garden wall
or by the sunlight falling by a happy
accident on pool or fower.-Cornhill.

Ee9s In Scotland.

Although cells abound in Scotch Wa
ters and are caught in great quantities.,
they are not considered fit food there.
No matter how plentiful and how very
fine and large they may be in any dis
trict of Scotland, no native will eat
one The objection to the eel is said to
be based Oh its scrpent-like appearance
and the fact that it Is not overfastidi-
Gus as to what 1t feeds on. Tons OF
choice cells for the London market are
taken from streams that are not con
spicuously free from sewage.

Cured Beyond All auestion.

There were cures for drunkenness IN
the early days of this country, and
from this account in the New York
Gazette Of May Z, 17T2, we are told Of
a treatment that cured one patient be-
yond all possible question: con Satur-
day last Mr.. Montanny's negro man,
who had misbehaved himself and was
a remarkable drunkard, was sent to
Bridewell nnd underwent the usual dis
cipline Of the house for such offenses-
VIZ, plentiful dose of warm water and
salt to operate as an emetic and Of
lamp Oil as a purge, In proportion to
the constitution Of the patient. OF
these he took about three quarts Of the
enc and two and half spoonfuls Of
the other; also a gill Of New England
rum, which operated very powerfully,
attended with a violent sickness which
obliged him to lie down, and betwetn
s and at night he was discovered to
be dead. lie died Of excessive drink
ing, cooperating with discipline and
medicine. Mr.. Dobbs, the operator,
was innocent of his taking off,"

GrOcerS fight Mail Order Men

.After placing itself on recorn
to use all honorable means to
combat the activity Of the mail
order houses In branching out
for trade entirely without their
legitimate province, and con-
cemning the practice of the man
ufactkrers ofawarding premiums
with certain brands of groceries
the pushes, Of the Wisconsin
Retail Grocers and General Mcr
cuants, association was practi-
caily concluded today. .
This afternoon the visiting
members were entertained by
the local grocers' association
with a ride about the city. and
this evening the out Of town
grocers will spend at one of the
amusement parks, also the
guests OF the Milwaukee grocers.
The place for holding the next
year, s convention will be decid-
ed upon late this afternoon,
after which the convention will
adjourn.
President John A, Green of
the National Retail Grocers' as
ISOLATION, addressed the Wiscon-
sin merchants this morning on
topics tending to the improve
ment of their trade.
M. B. Aronson of Chicago dis
closed some of the business
methods Of the mail order hou-
.ses, declaring that in 1905. the
money taken out Of the small
towns ofthe country, and legiti-
mately to the home grocer and
merchants, amounted to more
than 100000.
The retail grocers condemned
in strona terms the practice Of
certain manufacturers of food
stufs, principally the cereal com
panies, of including a premium
in every package, as an induce
ment to householders to pur-
chase their brand, regardless of
it's merit.

try papers a campaign against
the mail order houses.

with the bride and groom OF over q

vided in the shape of reprint under
each plate Of the notice that appeared
in the Marshall County Times of June
2, 1876, giving the account Of the Was
son-Broadhead wedding. The cere-
mony was performed at the Baptist
church on the evening Of June 1, and is

After supper the guests amused
themselves by reading the bound file
of the Times for 1876. The advertise
ments of firms long since forgotten and
unknown to the present generation;
the society news, miscellaneous hap
penings and personals, were all eagerly
read, and to some of the men the base
ball news was the big feature.
Some Of the guests happened to re-.
member that it was the anniversary Of

crowd presented the guests of honor
with a set of cut glass tumblers. DR..
and Mrs. Elijah Brown Jones were the
only ones present aside from the mem

night.
Last Monday night Chairman Clark
reported that the electric light depart
ment would be in need of few poles,
and that he had been given an offer
from Kreutzer & Wasem, who have
the lumber contract. Clark considered
that the bids were such that it would
he needless to look further. He is
familiar with electric light poles, as he
has handled them for a great many
years, and said that the price was III
diculously low, especially on thirty
five foot poles, of which the city would
use the largest number.
Mr.. Herman, Friday night, after Mr..
Clark had read the prices from other
dealers and compared them, took ex-
ception to the manner in which the
contract was let. He insisted on COM
petitive sealed bids, and said that if
the council didn't let the contract that
way he would "have the law on them"
He said that Clark quoted twenty five
foot poles Monday night at $3.50, and
now gave the Kreutzer &
Wasem bid on twenty-five foot
poles at 50. He moved that the
action on buying the poles be deferred
until the next meeting, and that sealed
bids be asked for.
Mr.. Clark explained that If he did
quote twenty-five foot poles at $3.50, he
did it from memory, and might have
been mistaken. At any rate he had
Kreutzer & Wasem's bid of 50 on pa
per. under date of May 8. Herman said
that Clark read the bids from paper
he took from his pocket last Monday
night Clark replied that when Mr.
Herman said that he read the bids
Monday night he stated what was not
true.
Accuses Herman of SANDER.
Mr.. Clark said that it made no diff
ference to him who furnished the poles.
The Kreutzer & Wase1n bid was so low
that he considered it good stroke Of
business to buy the poles at their fig
ures. For thirty-five-foot poles, Offer
ed by Kreutzer & Wasem at $3.50, every
other bid received was around &c.
Clark said that fully fifty people had
him on the street and
quoted Herman as saying that the city
was being robbed in letting the pole
contract.
''There' is nothing undetermined in
this matter" Clark added. 'The con-
tract seemed such small matter that
I did not consider it worth asking for
sealed bids. I believe my word is gem
orally accepted as good in MARSHALL
town, and so far as have been able to
learn my integrity has never been
Now, if Mr.. Herman is go
ing to go out of his way to pick up ev-
cry little thing to make a fuss out of
it, we will all know how to take him"
Herman Denies the Charge.
Councilman Herman was on his feet
in an instant. He denied that he had
slandered the council, and that instead
