The point of whether or not the
use OF Chestnut street, the recently
paved thoroughfore, would be
granted, was broached, but did not
appear to receive the sanction a4

be a minor and unimportant detail,
however, as'any wishing to board a
car woaald have to walk but a short
distance to catch it at the Central
avenue CROSSING.
The question of fares was also
brought up, and Mr.. Myers assured
the body that charge of 3 cents
per mije'-the same as railroad
rates-would be the maximum
charge, with probable rate of Is
cents between this city and Eveleth

Vt electric :saaeltiug of ison aad
steel. Consul Eager is. in Bafzneu,
and furnishes valuable ,iz,6nr rn,a.
tipn as to the tGernaart process. n
vieit was made TO the electric 'steel
werks of Richam LlndeubeeG, at
Remscheid Haston, Rhenisas Prus
sia, to witness the production of
steel, the invention Of DE-. Paul
Herouit.
Under this new process the pro-
duction Of the higt1est, grade atael
has been in successful operation
continuously might and day aiuce
February, 1898. and after a af6eieu,
trial of the new process the old
crucible methoas {formeEly en-
ptoyed have been entirely discon.
tiuued.
This plant pToduces alaaost e.
clusiveiy tigh.grade a nd alloy steel,
tor which there is great demand
by the immense skate, cutlery aud
tool manufactonies. An enlarge.
inent of the plant is being made to
increase the present output. Up to
the present time high quality steel
has been produced by anleitipg
process in graphite cracibaes with
a capacity only g. to ITO pounds,
and as the necessary raw material
had to be imported from Sweden or
Steiermank, the expense was very
great, costing from $40 to SIS per
ton, with an additional sunelttng
Expense of from 50 to $24 ton.
At the Lindenberg electric works
high grade stee) is pradaced fron
the most ordinary sGrap.iren sub-
bish of the cheapest kind and quail
ity, and it's condition is quite i'm
material, as by the process all
damaging a,sbstaaces,es ,esuch' as :saal-
phur and>phospher. are practically
eliminated, being reduced to one
one-hundredth of one per cent. The
cost of this scrap iron varies from
ff99ao 10 ~ for 2D9=Psuads~,and the
loss;ot n,Rterf6l in siag aud refuse
varies between, 6 aud 8 per cent.
An advantage Of the electric steel
over the steel manufactured by the
old system is its superior purity,
which permits the introduction Of
from 20 to 30 per cent more carbon
than in the crucible steel. 1t can
be forged eanier, ts not nasiiy

sistance to wear and tear. The new
system also gives added indepen-
:deuce on acconnt~of a,he veEy ordiu~
ary matcriai used fer producing the
steel. Such advantages have never
been reached BY any other system,
and it has on@y :recatAly heen given
to the public. This 10 accounted

report OF the committee. that Smoot

for dismissal, Smoot will remain.
Burrows will make set speech IA :

The city OF If is the Babylon of

Ii you live in any part OF the city
of If you are apt to have for neigh
bors some members OF the perhaps

Forlorn Hopes. These people are
poor sort OF nelghbors. Taen
there are the Maybe folks and the
Notyets. the B. Carefuls. the Co
slows. and the Coutlors ond Timid
Fanatics. They are gloomy COM
pany-a company or "Almosts.'i OF
people who just miss doing things
and getting things.
If you have been sharing the lots
and lives OF such people as these
If you have been missing opportuni-
ties and chances of success all your
life-isnt II time that you moved +?
To get out of this city OF IF IS
not SO hard a task as It may seem
IL requires small amount of
nerve" OF back .bine," OF git
up-and-git," and some "gumptlon." q"
And it requires something more --
the rational use OF little adver-
tising space. Publicity will sell all
Of your property in this city Of If;
il will enable you TO move away to
better town-the town OF Hustle,
or the town of Enterprise. where
you will have better neighbors-
people as the Climbers, the Ex
celsior, the Moneytons, the Never
quits, the winouts-all folks who
live well and in an atmosphere Of
good cheer and healthy content.
ADVERTISING will get you out
of the City of If. There is no "IF"
about that!

CERTAINLY
LOOKS TUFF

Lots are sure hard TO sell where
some must be given away to sch
others. It's worse yet when a man
advertising Bluefeld lots says Nor
folk lots ARE the best in any sec
tion." Lord. but his Blueheld lots
must be tuff! The trouble with these
Bluefeld real estate agents is that
they are all on the wrong side of
town; but then they can't help 1t,
or there is nothing they can get in
the West End. Those Midway
lots at 1926 to $375-until the 5th

IDLER REAL PAUPER
BRYAN SAYS IT'S A DISGRACE
TO LIVE WITHOUT
WORKING.

Lincoln. Neb., Dec. 4--w. j. Bry-
an made an address at the opening
of the Union Labor fair this evening
in which he said in part:
There is a great gulf existing be-
tween the toiling classes and those
who live without toiling but at the
present time brain and muscle are
working in closer harmony than they
have for many years. Today the
world does not care for the non-pro-
ducer and the laborer ranks higher
than the idle man who lives on the
income left him.
The dignity OF labor has been so
proclaimed over the land and i'm
pressed on the minds OF the people
that IL will not be long until the
world will point the finger of dis
grace at the man who lives i'm idle
ness. The moral question is also
involved i'm this. A man who refus-
es to work cannot attain high NOR
al standard. The real pauper is not
the man living in poverty but the
one that does not produce anything.
The pauper may be found among the
rich classes where idleness takes the
place OF work"
