A New Enterprlse.

Mr.. L. D. Conner. general agent for tho
Underwood Building Block and Machine
Co. gives the Enterprise the following
description Of cement block making. Mr..
Conner has sold two Of tho Underwood
machines here. These machines make
blocks with the circulating air devise.
which ventilates each room in house or
basement without extra cost over ordin-
ary hollow blocks. Mr.. Conner feels
quite elated over the prestige tho patent
on circulation gives him in the market
over other machines, mono Of which can
use this devise. A machine Is on tho way
for Mrs. Bristol. who Is to build three
story stone block. 5z51xl55 feet. on tho
corner opposite the 20. mI. Come.
also has a machine en- route TO DO used At
orders in short time. He tells US that
the blocks will cost less than wood in tho
completed building. The walls. based on
8x8x24 in. which give 8 IN. stone walls
with joints Of cement mortar. and blocks

tinuous solid stones face. Any person
can estimate accurately the cost OF any
building they contemplate erecting from

their own plan and estimate the number
OF blocks necessary.

IN a euro house built especially fof the
purpose. on which no Is procuring

the reason good blocks can't DO made In

II tho popular taste in theatre gong
could be held up to the standard Of Aioer-
IA Galla,in in Cousin Kate" with which
our local lovers OF the play were favored
the week before last. instead ofthe stand
ard Of last week. as set by the Ethel
Tucker Company. less fault could be
found with the stage as a form OF
amusement. The play Of Cousin Kate
was an eseellentpor,rayal Of strength and
weakness in moral character. 1t was
true To life in that Il pictured tho demor-
sii.a,ion Of will power in what would DC
commonly regarded as good" surround
ings, and also tho pre-eminenee et moral
stamina in the mlds. Of temptations to
evil. OF course this is the motif In a
grea, deal cf writing for tho stage ard so
the difference lies almost wholly in the
culture or the erudi,y Of tho setting and
the dialogue. Il Is no. a, all true TO lie
TO always depict yillisry as punished ana
virtue as rewarded. and yet the holding
OF tina. kind Of lie up to admiration snd
emulation is perhaps tho greatest ineen-
tiyo VIC have TO virtue. So the stage -
upon tho whole one Of tho mos, effective
moral teachers. even when sillisniss Of
tho Jesse James scr, arc used as tho foil
for displaying tho ,riumphs Of virtue. But
,herc IL so much ,ha, Is better. u the
public taste called for Il. In Cousin
Kate" there was strength and keenness
Of though, and virili;y In action. In tho
other thore was gun play and horse play
and erudi,y Of sreeeh. Tho Alberta Gal
latin company were really finished actors
Tho Ethel Tucker players were eharae-
teris,ic transformers. Ye, many le!' tho
single performance given by tho hfs'
company expressing dissa,is'ae,ion. while
tho latter played whole week 70 full
houses. So Il Is ,ha. public taste gets
abou, wha, Il calls for. whether u DO on
stage or In tho pulpit. and Il Is generally
six TO ono o! poor stuff.

COMMUNICATION

St. Peter. MIMI, Tuesday. April 3,
Special to the Sheaf:
The results of todays election have
been looked for with the keenest in
terest. A very earnest contest has
been waged for sometime, between
the citizens wishing strict law en-
forcement and the lax element, the
former represented by the Citizens
League, the latter by the saloon ele-
ment. Altho it was not a license or
no license question, the issue was
leaning towards the latter. The OBJ
ject sought by the Citizens League
was the strict enforcement OF the
license law, and the closing of the
saloons on Sunday. Under the pre-
sent administration the saloons have
openly violated the law and the
League therefore made most deter
mined fight for law and order their
candidate being W. H. Rounseville.
The opposing party has been no less
active trying to push their man,
MIR. Sporting, an ex-saloonkeeper, to
the front. Election day therefore
found the excitement waxing hot.
The saloon party had tried all man.
ner Of means to debar the college
students from voting but evidently
to little purpose for altl o they chal-
lenged the vote Of numbers of them,
few, ii any, could be debarred. The
returns Of the ballots showed that
the efforts Of the Flaw enforcement
supporters were crowned with sue
cess. and Mr.. Rounesvi1le was elected
mayor with a considerable majority.
This is undoubtedly step in the
right direction and perhaps in the
near future further step may be
taken and the saloon ousted entirely
from the city, which certainly would
be desirable thing for a college
town. Bystrom.

HONOR FOR DEAD SAILORS
Handsome Bronze Tablet to Be Erected
in Memory of Mariners Who Were
Killed on q. S. S. Bennington.

San Francisco.-A handsome tablet
in memory of the dead of the United

of which have been given by the fam
lilies OF deceased naval officers, and

these tablets will be the one now in
preparation in memory of the sailors
who lost their lives as result of the
Bennington disaster. 1t is to be cast
in bronze, three by five feet in dimen-
sions. The Angel of Death is repre-
sented seated on one side Of the tab
let, her arm stretched out over scroll
on which is inscribed the following:
in memory of the 65 who were killed
on July Fl, 1905. by an explosion
aboard the United States gunboat Ben
nington in the harbor of San Diego.
In the line of duty and under the flag
they served so we'll they died as heroes
die.
"The mourning nation honors their
names forever and Deaths Angel en-
folds them with her WINGS"
Below the tablet when it is placed
in the chapel Of the navy yard will be
a plate on which will be engraved the
names of Ensign Newman K. Perry
and the "a enlisted men in whose mem.
DRY the tablet is given.
