"Aerial" Stuarts in Trouble.

Those who attended the fair here
last fall will remember the aerial
Stuarts." slack wire performers.
After the close of the fair. says the
Elkader Argus, in this section the
Stuarts got up sort of carnival
company and engaged Gilbert Don
aldson, owner Of the electric light
plant at McGregor, to tow them down
the Mississippi river giving exhibi
tions at towns along the way. They
had gotten as far south as LAGRANGE,
Mo-, but business had been poor and
Stuart was unable to meet Donald
sons bill for towing. Proceedings
for writ of attachment against the
property of the Stuarts were begun
by Donaldson but when an attempt
was made to serve papers at La.
Grange the Stuarts and their employees
barricaded themselves in the house
boat and resisted the officers. AS a
result one officer is dead. another
seriously wounded and Stuart, the
aerial acrobat, is reported to have
since died as the result of a shot in
the abdomen. West Union Union.

A Chautauqua Possibility.

Every good thing brought to any
town has been by the enterprise and
hustle Of just few men. No con-
siderable number of men ever agree
upon detail enough to carry out any
undertaking. One has tritely said the
best committee consists of three men,
one of which is sick, the other absent
Ii our town is TO secure a good Chau-
tauqua which in our opinion will
benefit us in more ways than any
other thing we might get, some of our
citizens must lead out in the move.
There must be head to act in the
matter. We will have Submitted to
us most reasonable and absolutely
safe proposition whereby we may
secure good six days Chautauqus
with little or no risk. OF course you
may want thing but to get it is an
entirely different thing. The only
way to get them is to go after them.
Now can we not reasonably expect a
unanimous endorsement of this most
worthy move TO get our town forward
toward greater things?

A "Lefse" Napkin.

There isn't Norwegian in Win
neshiek county, who does not know
what "lefse" is, and scarcely one
who does not relish it, But we doubt
if there are any who have ever found
it useful in the manner one of our
prominent citizens did one evening
last week. ''Lefse' is kind of a
bread-Eke pastry, rolled cut until it
is very thin and pliable, ard is a
choice morsel for those who are fond
of it, 1t is served in sheets like
large pancake, and is generally rolled
up into convenient shape before
eating The other evening our friend
above mentioned attended social
function where "lefse'' was served
aud taking large piece of it, stuffed
one corner under his chin and used
it for napkin. Although he has
discovered new use for it, the fad
will hardly become universal.

used to make up as much as possible
of the deficit from the Thanksgiving

The Size of the Sun.

The sun, provided we measure only the disk seen with the smoked ,,lass. is 866,OO0 miles in diameter-@i. C.. 1OS earths could be comfortably ranged side by side across the disk. To cover the surface would require many thou sands. To fill the interior we should need 1,3OO.AO0. On q smaller scale we might represent the sun by a ball two feet in diameter and the earth by a good sized grain of shot. Let the sun be hollowed out, then place the earth at it's center and let the moon reyolve about 1t at it's real distance of 24O 00O miles. There would yet remain nearlss 100000 miles of space between the moons orbit and the inclosing shell oi the sun Indeed to journey from one side of the sun to the other, through the center. would take one of our swift express trains nearly two and q halt years. So vast a globe must be heavy. Since it's density is only onc-quarter that of the earth II only weighs aa much as 3332 o(al eartlls. or two octii- lions of tons. The attraction of gravity on it's surface would tausc q man whose weight was lJu pounds to weigh two tons.
