man Of the committee on appropria
tons, have discovered a bond Of friend
ship stronger than that created by the
fact that they are both members Of the
house. They discovered it while sitting
at lunch a few days ago.
Where did you come from in Penn
sylvania?' asked Smith. looking at
Tawney with his eyes half closed.
'The same place that you once hon
ored with your presence" said Tawney.
"Weil,@ IN be dinged! Are you the
Jim Tawney that used to play in the
Reynoldsville band?"
THAT'S me" said Tawney.
Then Smith marveled that his Mime
sofa friend should have known the fact
so long without mentioning it to him.
"Oh, we'll, Smith," explained the Min
nesotan, lit Is not always safe to refer
to a mans past. I thought probably
that you wanted to forget the time
when you played the alto horn and l
tortured the B fat cornet. But, say.

In the election of Tuesday Chicago
got a step nearer municipal control
of the street railways OF that city. 1t
was voted on in two ways: First for
the issuance of SIS, 600. 900 bonds and
for the operation CT the street rail-
ways by the city. The bonds with
which tc purchase the railways were
carried, and strangely enough the
operation OF the railways was defeat
ed by a majority five times as large
as that which carried the appropria-
ton. The new ordinance raising
the saloon license to ST. 900 per year
was also voted upon Indirectly in the
election OF aldermen who held to
that idea and the majority of the
council was elected on that issue, so
that Chicago's 81. 600 license will
stand. AS soon as this ordinance was
passed the saloon men started a cam
paign to elect aldermen who would
stand for resembling it, but in
this they we're unsuccessful.

WATCHING THE BUILDERS.
Fire Insurance Folk. Keep an Ely.

Fire Insurance Folks Keep aM Eye
ON Construction Methods.
A builder speaking of the watchful-
of fire insurance companies in
New York city in the erection of build
ings in that city says:
Insurance companies in placing poll
cies upon so called ireproof buildings
do not accept the word of the builders
and contractors, nor rest content with
the evidence submitted by the city
building department. Their own eX-
perts make an examination. Such an
is made not at the behest
of politicians or in the interest of a
group of men, but by technical experts
whose reports must be exact, detailed
and exhaustive In the interests of
shrewd business men. The insurance
underwriters have their own corps Of
expert engineers and ireproof agents
in the field all Of the time. When a
large building is in course of con
struction in New York these experts Of
the underwriters watch every stage Of
the development. They have no power
to stop work on the building as city
building inspectors have when the
building laws are not complied with,
but they possess another sort of check
which is fully as effectual. The build
ers. contractors or owners, or all three.
are notified that further insurance poll
cies will not be made on the building
until certain remedies are made."-

THE PLANET URANUS.
Oddities a Voyage to This Gigantic
World Would Disclose.

If Uranus, which is q star of about
the sixth magnitude, were a planet
like those little ones called asteroids,
which are being discovered by the
dozen every year, it could not have
much claim upon popular attention.
but Uranus is really a gigantic world.
more than sixty times as large as ours.
Its vast distance, about 1.TOO,O0O,O00
miles from the earth, is what causes
moons which r%evolve backward in
their orbits-that is to say. they re
volve from east to west around Uran-
us, while Uranus goes, like all the 9th
er planets. from west to east around
the sun. 1T is believed that Uranus
rotates backward on its axis also.
Moreover, the axis of that great,
strange globe lies in such Il direction
that in the course of its year. which
is equal to eighty-four of our Years,
the sun shines almost perpendicularly
first upon one pole and then upon the
other. Measured by our time stand
ard. there are forty years of constant
daylight, followed oy forty years or
unbroken night, around the poles of
Uranus. And the sun rises in the
west and sets in the east there. But
the sun looks very small when viewed
from Uranus-only one four-hundredth
as large as it appears to us. Still it
sheds upon that planet 1.500 times as
much light as the full moon sends to
the earth. so that daylight upon Uran-

blaze of a terrestrial MONDAY, is new
ertheless a very respectable kind of
illumination.

Hera in the 'Iliad" down to the Venus

the reception Of earrings. Pliny tells

Is STANDARD A r
That In Use In Grc,t Britain ana tn.
Cnitcd states.

The yard is the British and American
standard Of length. Down to 1924 the
original standard of Britain, frola
which ours was copied, was a rod,
which had been deposited in the court
Of e%xchequer, London, in the time of
Queen Elizabeth. In those days all
measures intended for general use
were taken to the court of %eXchequer
to be examined by the proper officer.
That official took the proposed meas
ure and placed 1t parallel with the
standard and If found correct placed
certain marks Of identification upon it.
By an act Of parliament in 1924 the
old EliZabethan standard was super
seeded by another, which had been con
structed under the directions Of the
Royal society %sixty-four years previ-
NJ This act provided that 1.-THE
straight line Of distance between the
centers Of two points in the gold studs
In the brass rod now in the custody of
he clerk Of the house of commons
shall be the genuine standard of the
yard measure in Great Britain" The
act further provided that the measure
ments Of the rod must be made when
the temperature of the brass was at GO
degrees Il.
The standard was destroyed by FIRE
In 1884, and the commission appointed
to replace it made the yard measure
now il use. The new standard was de-
posted IN the house of parliament In
1856, and authenticated copies of it
are in the possession of our govern
ment officials at Washington

When John Alexandria Dowie gets
hack to Chicago there is evidently
goirg to be a fight for the possession
Of Zion City and its great industries.
The apostle declines to he ousted so
completely as the Zionists have
done, and he gives notice to them
that he is coming back and make a
cleaning up. There will be interest
ing times in Zion when Elijah II
TETS home.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1906-04-06

John Alexander Dowie has got all
that is coming to him from the
Zion society. Elijah ii has been un-
tremendously kicked out of Zion and
he has been notified to that effect,
even all is property, including his
bed in his mansion has been conas-
Gated by the men now in charge of
Zion. Dowie has been down in Mex
leo for some time working up a new
scheme of colonization and while
away he appointed W. G. voliya
oveIseer with power of attorney.
When Dowid ordered Voliva to depose
Granger, the financial agent, the
revolt came and amidst 5000 Zionists
nRwie was removed from the head Of
TIL church and the entire property
was turned over by Voliva to Gran
ger, leaving the apostle entirely shorn
OF his power in Zion. Dowie is accus-
ed Of wastefulness and plnneing too
gOrgeously into financial problems
that was bound in time to wreck
Zicn. He is also accused Of teaching
polygamy among certain classes of
his people, and added to this is the
charge that he is insane. Mrs.
Dowie and her son, Gladstone, have
also repudiated the apostle and they
will stand by the Zionists.
