Child Saved From Death.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Oct. 10.-As
Engineer Blake of the Wisconsin Cen
tral w"s pulling into Medford, he saw
what he took to be red flag some
ways ahead of the train. He immedi-
ately began to slow up when he dis
covered that it was a little child play
ing in the middle of the track. He
used the emergency brake but the
weight of the train was sliding the
train ahead in spite of all that could be
done. Brakeman Nels Hagen and Har
vey Wright, who were in the cab, ran
out over the footboards of the pilot
and while Wright held him, Hagen
swung out ahead of the engine and
lifted the little one out Of harms way.
When the train stopped the child was
handed to the sister who came running
up.-St. Paul Dispatch.

Stenographer's Stunt.

The official stenographers OF the
house have reported so far this ses-
sion about 2,775,000 words, with the
session perhaps little more than
half over. There is busy, talking
time to come, however, and the full
bill will probably be about 100000
words for the session. That is outside
Of the committee hearings, which will
be more than half as much additional,
SO that the house will have sent to the
printing Office as the talk that has
been made or to it's members while at
work on the floor or in the committee
rooms approximately 100000 words.
The senate will easily double that, IL
It does not exceed it, although the SEN
ate often sits only four days a week,
while the house is always busy at least
five days, and sometimes sits on Sat
urday. That will be round total OF
100000 words thus uttered at this

so much money on car fare that she
was not averse to sitting and looking
ahead Of her while the conductor Went
by. One day. however, when she had
ridden up and down and across town
without paying-the conductors had
neglected to collect and it was one OF
her principles not to force money on
people-she concluded to be honest
and pay. Besides, she was obliged to
have transfer. The conductor took
her fare with some surprise, for she

EXPENSE OF PASTE DIAMONDS.
Material from Which Imitation Gems
Ar6. Made Is Not Cheap.

Paste" from which imitation
precious stones are made, is widely
known, but few are acquainted with
the ingredients. though it is generally
understood that the paste gains its
brilliancy from the lead it contains.
Formulas vary for the paste, but
all contain rock crystal, red lead, car
donate of potash, borax and white ar
senic.
1t is required that these articles
shall be Of higher grade Of purity,
as there is a considerable waste, so
that the gems made from "strass," as
the composition is technically known,
are by no means inexpensive.
A paste diamond cannot scratch
glass and is thus easily detected, but
colored stones are made of crystal
alone that are considerably harder
than glass.
In the making Of these a crystal
stone is followed out and filed with
some co:ored liquid, the orifice being
closed with plug of crystal, which is
ground down so that there is no trace
OF the junction.-New York Herald.

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.
Some Comments on the Advantage OF
Sewerage in this City.

City Surveyor Fred R. Sergeant was
running level along Miner Avenue
and on East Third street to the river
Tuesday afternoon to ascertain the ac-
tual depth sewer would have to be
laid.
HE reports that if the sewer is put
down depth of ten feet at Fritz, S
corner and has one foot fall to the
block, it will be twelve feet and eight
inches below the surface at the corner
by the Hotel Baker, thirteen feet and
eight inches at the corner by Lady
smith Mercantile Store, eighteen feet
and six inches at the corner by Dell
Richards residence and about twenty
feet at the corner by the Christian
church.
A sewer from the Fritz corner on
Miner Avenue east to East Third street,
thence north on East Third street on
the west side of the court house block
across Lake Avenue into the river,
would accommodate almost all of the
business section Of the city. 1t is to
be hoped that such a sewer can be con-
structed this fall so as to take care of
the great food of water that over
flows this section of the city each
spring 1t will be easy diggi 6 on this
proposed line and the expense to the
city over and above the amount charge
able to the adjacent owners, would not
be great.
The law provides that the city can
tax against the abutting lots sum
not less than twenty-fve(25) cents or
over two dollars (2) per front foot.
Every business man should urge the
installing of the sewer this year, as it
will save dollars in preventing proper
ty from being destroyed and it might
be the means of preventing, by rea-
son of having cleanlier conditions, an
epidemic of sickness in our city.

Ownership of Public Utilities.

The republican party in Wisconsin
has declared in it's platform that it is
in favor of enacting law allowing
cities to purchase public utilities such
as water works and lighting plants,
and paying for them by issuing certifi-
Gates of indebtedness which shall besa
lien on the property purchased.
Such law would have many advan-
tages over the present law pertaining
% such matters, as it would give the
city much more latitude on the question
Of purchasing or owning such property.
Under the present law city cannot
incur Indebtedness in excess OF 5 per
cent of it's last assessed valuation, even
though the people should vote therefor.
This law, it can readily be seen,
absolutely prohibits a city like Lady
smity from owning many of its public
utilities. Our city has had phenom-
email growth, and while development
has, on account of the short space of
time, necessarily been at great ex-
pense, we now own our own water
works and have not exceeded the limit
of indebtedness of 5 per cent.
The city water works system is now
a success and the revenue therefrom
will, in the near future, not only re-
emburse the city for all expenditures
made, but will bring to the city treas
ury an income greatly in excess of the
expense of operating the system, thus
giving to the people cheap and eff
cient service.
While Our city is in process of devel-
opment, 1t should be able to, and should
acquire, own and operate its own light
ing system. This can or could, under
such law as is proposed in the Re-
publican platform, be accomplished at
the present time at much less expense,
than few years later The city at
the present time is paying between
$1,000 and $1400 per year for very
inefficient street lighting service. Each
year this sum is paid out and we are
no nearer owning our own lighting sys-
tenn than we were before.
With a municipal ownership and an
efficient service, the history of almost
every city of our size, shows that the
income from private consumers, equals
a sum sufficient to pay the running ex-
pense of lighting system. This would
leave the street lighting absolutely free
to the city, and instead Of paying out
$1400 or more each year, to some cor
poration that furnishes US with poor
quality of light, we would have that
amount of money to apply each year
in taking up certificates of indebted
ness, which might under such law
be issued against the lighting system.
1t can readily be seen that in few
years the city would own its own light
ing system free from all debt.
With the city owning its own light
ing system, we could have it in charge
of competent manager appointed by
the council, and would not be, as we
now are and have been in the past,
subjected to the annoyance of an in
ferior service, bo reason of incompetent
management of public utility.
