A Strong Recommendation for the
Utility Of the Acme Heating Drum
when Attached to Furnaces.

November 10, LOCO,
A. w. BROCK & CO.,
Alma, Mich.
Dear Sirs:-The acme Heating Drum
which you placed i'll the parsonage has
given decided satisfaction. The heat
which formerly was wasted in the Chin
ney is utilized now by the Drum to warm
our dining room. Our furnace, with
which the Drum is connected, is serving
us better than before with smaller con-
sumption of fuel. 1t is a pleasure to
recommend the Drum both for its effect
iveness and its economy.
Very truly yours,
Il. III. CLAPP,
Pastor Nj. T.. Church.

A Much-Debated Word.

FROM ddfper 8.
Many will remember that few years ago
there went on a violent controversy about
the word "tIreless." The discovery had been
made that less was a suffix which could
properly be appended only to nouns Hence
the form must be discarded, and we must
all take pains TO say ''untiring." The duty
OF so doing was preached from scores OF
professional and newspaper puIplts. No one
seemed to think or care for the various
other adjectives similarly formed, and there
fore liable to the similar censure which
they never received. Hostility was directed
against 1t alone. The actual flaw which
vitiated the arguments against 'tireless'
it's censors never knew or took into con-
sideration. This was that the fancied rule
covering the creation of such words had
practically long ceased to be operative
whenever a new formation struck the sense
OF the users of language as being desirable.
Unquestionably in our earliest speech the
suf1ix LESS, when employed TO form adj
jectives, was Joined only with nouns. But
the general sioughing OFF OF nominal and
turtles reduced a great proportion of sub
stantives and verbs in the speech to pre-
ciseiy the same form. In consequence the
sense of any fundamental, distinction be-
tween the two broke down In many ways.
in one way In particular. There is nothing
easier in our speech than to convert a verb.
into noun or a noun into verb. II is
process which has taken place constantly In
the past, and Is liable to take place at any
time In the future, either at the will or the
within Of the writer or speaker.

In the management of some corporations
there has grown up a feeling that the only
sure way of protecting the corporation
from the attacks of designing people Is to
buy protection at SO much year.
There is another way to deal with this
evil of having to decker with legislative
authorities. Why not take the stockholders
into confidence laying before them essen

out their bearings upon their own inter-

SPECULATION AS TO THE
ROUTE OF NEW ROAD.

GOLDF1ELD, May 29.-Mining men
who have large interests between this
lace and Bullfrog are wondering what
route will be taken by the Tonopah
and Goldfeld Railroad Company in
constructing its Bullfrog extension. If
the road is built by way of Stonewall
mountain it will place the mines in
the vicinity of Gold mountain at a
great advantage. They are now try
ing to induce the company to build by
way of Thorpe's wells.
The railroad people have not as yet
committed themselves in regrd to the
matters. They have had two surveys
made and it is generally understood
that the officers are deliberating which
to choose. The general impression pre-
walls that the company has an expert
investigating the Gold mountain mines
and if the report is favorable to the
extent that larger tonnage of ore
can be secured by keeping to the west
il will be done.
