Now Rests with the Council.

J. Il. Quigley engineer and power
promoter, was here last week and FRI
day night he submitted his prop
osition to our city council, with an
ordinance covering all the provisions
to furnish power to this city for all
purposes. The matter was discussed
and was taken under consideration by
the council and action will be taken
in the matter at a meeting next Mon
day night. A. l.. Ross, chairman OF
the committee chosen at the recent
mass meeting, was present and the
project was made plain and is similar
to that presented to the citizens. 1t
is hoped the matter will be acted on
favorably, as there are others who are
waiting to get a chance at it.

A Good Musician.

c. w. Ennis manager Of the sheet
music department Of the Thiebes-
Stierlin Music Co., OF Sedalia, was in
Versailles three days last week, having
been sent here for the purpose Of
furnishing music for those who took
occasion to visit the exhibit which Mr..
Stitt conducted in the Martin hotel
block. Mr.. Ennis is fine musician
and made quite a hit with our music
lovers in his we'll executed renditions,
and as a performer on the piano has
few equals. He plays anything from
the standard music to rag-time, and
his execution was one Of the attractive
features of the exhibit here.

80 Pound Cat Fish.

Chas. Moser and w. Z. Gold with
their wives, Perry Gold q relative
form Pennsylvania and Mr.. and Mrs.
Gold Of Clarkburg enjoyed several
days outing at Clark Ford near
Proctor last week, Jim Hubbard and
Warren Gold going after the party
for their home coming last Friday.
The exciting features Of the outing
took place just before the party
broke camp. They had set a trot-
line in the river, but had about given
up the idea that they would have any
special luck when the men folks
started to pull in the line. To their
surprise Messrs. Moser and Gold
found that some obstruction prevented
easy progress and it seemed that a
whale or sea serpent was at the other
end. They pulled and tugged and
the very air on the river bank had
an animated hue.
BY main strength and fshermen's
tactics the men at last managed to
bring the "animal" to the surface so
they could see his head, and each
member OF the party had it sized up
anywhere from a whale to a crocodile.
1t was a pull tor life, but they we're at
last rewarded by landing the monster
which vas a mud cat, and there was
hilarity in that fishing party for
a time than would be found in a
successful marine battle. There was
no means of weighing the fish until
the party reached home when they
found that the big fellow tipped the
the beam at 48 pounds with its
rudder dragging the floor. However,
it was the biggest catch that has been
brought into Versailles in many
a day.

Strange Consignment Sent From Bra.

Strange Consignment Sent From Bra.
I'll to London.
One ct the strangest cargoes a YES
sci could possibly have was unloaded
at the London docks toward the close
of March. It consisted Of several
sacks filled with dried flies, consigned
to a large firm Of grain merchants.
These flies, originating in Brazil,
have been purchased for use in the
manufacture of food for chickens,
cage birds and the like. They were
caught on the River Amazon by Bra.
zilians, who travel up the river in fiat
bottomed boats, add who are provided
with gauze nets, with which they cap
ture these insects in millions, as flies
hover in dense clouds over many Of
the swampy reaches Of the Amazon.
The flies thus caught are killed,
dried in the sun and then placed
in sacks. Upon arrival in London
they are mixed with inlet and other
grain, and are sold as chicken food,
etc. Some time ago the Brazilian gov
eminent, fearing that the fish in the
Amazon river would be starved, for
bade the expectation of flies; hence
the price of this strange commodity,
which used to be Cd. per pound, has
now risen to Is. Cd. per pound and
often little more.

A Transparent Fiction.

The late Clarence H. Clark of Phil
adelphia had one of the finest private
libraries In the world. Mr.. Clark was
an authority on incunabula and on
first editions.
A Philadelphia auctioneer once sub
mitted to Mr.. Clark copy of Dickens
Little Dorrit." The auctioneer said
that the owner of the book claimed
that it was a first edition, and he
wished to know if the man spoke the
truth.
Mr.. Clark examined the work. Then
with a smile he said:
''The owner spoke the truth to the
same extent as a friend Of mine once
did on his honeymoon.
Starting with his bride on the hon.
eymoon my friend entered a railway
office. and, as always in the past,
bought only one ticket.
"The bride noticed the oversight at
once.
why. you only bought one ticket,
DEAR she said.
"'By Jove!' the fellow answered.
I forgot all about myself"

The "corn Gospel Train.

SIS it really true, l want to know,
that them blue-sky farmers can &C.
tually make an extra kernel grow on
an ear Of corn?" A farmer in Nebras-
ka was asking the question, says Eu-
gene Lyle, in Worlds Work. He was
half contemptuous of the "blue-sky"
farmers. They were young men a
third Of his age, professors in the ag-
ricultural school of the state univer-
sity, with education and linen collars.
Never in their lives had they driven q
load Of produce to town. And what
could they know about farming, any
how? But despite the old veterans
sniff, there was a waver of credulity
in his tone, and in his look positive
eagerness. What If, after all, the
vague and disdained thing, book
learning, held secrets to make his
land yield more than its usual crop?
