rho Democratic Keynote.


Mr. Bry'ans address in New York was
not very impressive. Its Importance lies,
of course. in the fact that Mr.. Bryan.
as the probable choice of his party FOR
the presidency two years hence. took
occasion to formulate. or to restate, his
political creed, which expresses the
floating and not very logically related
opinions and purposes, convictions and
prejudices finally becoming coherent as
his party's policy.
The address was not free from the
faint of petty partisanship. as whore
he ascribed to the Republican party
solely-and under the eyes of Tam
many at that all the evils of that cor
rupt alliance of bossism and business
which Republicans are fighting as sin
cerely and more effectually to-day than
Democrats. This reminds us that Mr..
Bryan is politician at all times.
So far as bis political proposals are
concerned, the most ralical is his ref
erence to government ownership of rail-
roads, a problem so enormous. so COM
plicated, ana. so far from critical that
Mr.. Bryan's views upon it may well be
deemed as academic as Mr.. Bryan's sem
timental friendliness for theoretic So
cialism.
The tariff passage was expected, and
all the CONGRATULATIONS on liberty, plu-
tocracy and democracy.
The address was protestant through
out, but it was singularly lacking in
practical assurance and definiteness.
Its ideas are familiar. some of them
worn with much use, and. spread before
the reader IN columns of print. they
must seem nutritious and disappoint-
ing. even to his sympathetic followers.
No wonder those who were standing

before its close.-Chicago Post.

One day during the seige of Corinth
General Nelson came to the front 10
look after things, and especially to
see how favorite battery of artillery
was getting along. A party of rebel
sharpshooters had taken refuge in one
old house about half a milo to the
front of our force. and the artillery
men were directing their guns upon
it. He grew very impatient because
the house had not yet been struck
and rode hastily up to the guns.
They will pick you off there. Gen

voice. u
The general snapped out: Go TO

Just then came a long tom with a
zip" The general. hearing the we'll
known sound, jumped of his horse in
a rage. caught one of the guns. ran II
forward by main strength and aimed
it himself, remarking that he would
show them how to shoot at him.
AS he was aiming our captain said /:

met with the ever ready reply, Go to

The ball went crashing through the
tree tops not hundred yards ahead
of us, more in the direction of the So
than the house; but IL happened that
at the same instant one Of our other
guns was fired. and the ball struck
the chimney of the house.
The general, seeing the chimney fall.
shouted: by God sir, knew II: il
takes me to knock things about them.
and rode away, calling back. Captain.

He did not hear the laugh that fol-
lowed. but old Jakeys shot was never
forgotten.--American Tribune.

COLD AIR ON TAP.

Natural system OF Cooling Used by

The town of Thompson Falls, In
Missoua county, has strange system

and meat are kept cool and fresh with
out the least trouble. The best part of
the cold-storage system Is that 1t costs
absolutely nothing after the Dlant has
been Installed.
Thompson Falls has large number
of wells that furnish cold, fresh air,
which PUSHES upward all sum ner long.
The wells are dug for water but the
supply of cold air is as fully important
The wells Of Thompson Falls are a
little more than GO feet in depth. The
water veins are found in gravel for

mountain SHOWS at some distant place.
The gravel is porous enough 70 admit
of freely-moving current of air, which

In currents strong enough to snuff out

The utility of the cold-air currents
was first observed In 1884. when the
Thompson Falls Mercantile company
used the cool air to keep butter, eggs
and meat in large quantities. The air
can be piped in summer to rooms of
houses. The wells are covered over
tightly ut the top, and large pipes tap
the current few feet below the sur
face Of the ground. These pipes con-
duct the air to different rooms in near
by buildings.
For cold-storage plants, house is
built above the well and the air rushes
upward continuously, keeping the tenn

 The first ten stones are to be de livered within the next few days. and fifteen are to be delivered the first of each following month. The powders will weigh from 1.500 pounds to one ton each.
 Arrangements are being made to have the powders placed in position by school children, and this will be made the occasion of holiday. In the eastern part of the state the powders will be placed more closely together than in the sparseiy settled section of the west. Ten extra stones and ten bronze plates have already been ar ranged for, making c total of ninety markers to be placed In the state. Where the trail passed through town the bronze plates will be placed In walls or sidewalks. The powders will be used in the country.
