THE DAM

The Citizens meeting held at the
Court House last Thursday evening
was we'll attended. There seemed to
be the same sentiment as before, ''we
want the dam and want it soon" but
there seemed to be the same diversity
of opinion as to how we are To get 1t.
We think that the first good move
towards coming to an understanding
was made, when upon motion the
Chair appointed a committee of six
with himself included, to investigate
all the pros and cons of the matter,
The committee appoinsed were the
following named gentlemen: John
Radcliffe, S. w. Smith, n. M. Emmons
w. D. Neville. Geo. f. O'Connor and
Alex Higgins.
1t is to be hoped that the gentlemen
of the committee, no matter what
opinion they have of the matter, will
make an impartial investigation, and
we hope, that at the next citizens
meeting we will be able to get most
of the facts in the matter.

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can Bak'
ing Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation they certainly
give the purchaser plenty OF powder
for his money. Those powders are SC
carelesslv made from inferior mater
ials that they will not II axe light,
wholesome food. Further, these CHEAP
baking powders have very small pei
centage of leavening gas; therefore it
takes from two to three times as much
of such powder TO raise the cake or
biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder. Therefore, in the long run
the actual cost to the consumer of
such powders is more than Calumet
would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread sometimes bleached
acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline
and always unpalatable, they are
never of uniform strength and quality
Why not buy a perfectly whole
some baking powder like Calumet,
that is at the same time moderate in
price and one which can be relied
upon? Calumet is always the same,
keeps indefinitely and gives the cook
the least trouble.

Army Chooses Big RevIvers.

The war department has dec1d-
ed to go back to the heavy cali
Der for army revolvers, and to
adopt a cartridge proposed by
the ordnance bureau, carrying
a bullet of rs caliber, to replace
the SO caliber now in use Inc
reason for the change is that it
is desired to have a bullet with
greater stopping power than
that now in use.
Opportunity also is given for
a decided innovation i'll the type
of revolver. The ordinance bu-
reau has invited manufacturers
of pistols to enter into competi-
tior and submit types of revolv-
ers either of the automatic kind
or along the lines of those now
used by the army. All weapons
submitted, however, must bf
made for the use of the 45-cali
Der cartridge which has beer
adopted. The competition vii
take place some months hence.

moments before she spoke From

Practical Politics.

Harper's Weekly:
A practical politician Of the first water
came to light in small Indiana town
not long ago. In this town there is an
officer, designated as inspector of streets
and roadways, who receives the munili-
cent salary of $3.50 per year. As the OPP
posing political parties are very nearly
balanced in this town, there is keen OPP
position, so that when this office became
vecant and the authorities ordered an
election to fill it, there was a lively
campaign for this small plum, no other
elections being near. The Democratic
candidate was a rather shrewd old fell
low by the name Of Ezekiel Hicks and il
looked as though he would be success
full, as a neat little sum had been sub
scribed and turned over to him as a
campaign fund. TO the astonishment Of
everybody however, he was defeated.
81 can't account for it, one Of the
Democratic leaders said, gloomily.
with that money we should have won.
How did you lay it out. Ezekiel"
Hum, Ezekiel said, slowly, pulling
his whiskers. Eyer see, that office only
pays $3.50 a1year salary, an didn't see
no sense in payir' $500 out to get the
office, 50 Jest bought me little truck

Spring Primary and Election.

At the special session of the legislat-
ure in December "a change of that sec
ton of the primary law relating to reg
istration was made as follows:
Except in cities of the first class,
every primary election day and the
Monday next preceding shall be regis
tration days where registration is re-
quired, on which the inspectors shall ex-
ercise the powers prescribed by sections
Is and 26, statutes of 1898, but no per-
son shall be registered on or after the
day of holding the primary without per-
sonally appearing before the inspectors. I"
As appears from the change, the in
spectors are required to be in their
booths anyway on the primary, and con-
sequently they will receive no addition
al pay. The first registration days oc-
cur March and 7. The primaries will
be held March 20.
City clerks are pleased with that part
of the primary law which has been
changed so as to make clear when the
nomination papers shall be filed Last
year there was considerable confusion
in this respect. AS changed the law
specifically provides that the nomina-
ton papers shall be filed at least Is days
before the primary, list of candidates
posted and published al least 10 days,
and the official ballot at least days
before the day of holding such primar-
les. Therefore, the nomination papers
of all candidates must be in the hands
Of the city clerk not later than March 5.
Candidates for Offices must get busy
at the end Of this month. Each aspirant
must have signatures of at least per
cent of his party vote in at least one
sixth of the election precincts of his
district, and in aggregate not less than
3 per cent or more than 10 per cent Of
the total vote of his party in such dis
trict.

Nearly all II the ancient nations
called lightning by names signifying
CLOUD fire." and the major portion of
them employed some symbol to repre-
sept the fash OF the "forkel fury
darling from the thunder clouds. The
early Chaldeans symbolized It with a
trident. and the Babylonians, learned
in mystic lore, employed human hand
for tie same purpose The bas-reliefs
Of the towers OF Nlmrud and Malthla,
which are the work of the later and
more refined Assyrian artists, show the
trident doubled or transformed into
what is known as n "trifld fascicle.
This triumph Of the classic art secured
for the ancient Mesopotamian symbol
the advantage over all other represen-
tations Of the thunderbolt. The Greeks
represented the "storm fire. with the
feathers of bird of prey. Later IN,
when they had begun 70 incorporate
the Asiatic form of the symbol with
their own, they put IT In the claws OF
an eagle and made II the scepter OF
Zeus. Gaul received the symbol from
italy. but soon altered it 10 the famil-
