City Affairs.

The city fathers were in session Mon.
day night. Among the important mat
tiers considered the following are Of gen.
eral interest:
An order was made providing for a
concrete arch bridge on Kansas avenue,
crossing the lake at the Santa Fe depot
and an ordinance was enacted compel
ling property owners to put in cement
walks on Kansas avenue west, to the end
of the city limits and also on Cherry stree,
from the bus barn east to connect with
walks already constructed.
The mayor and council also entered
into lease, on Sugar lake, with H. lis
dale. By the terms Of the lease Mr.. lis
dale is to keep the lake in good repair
tor hve years in return for ice privileges
The lake is to be repaired within thirty
days from date and In the event of the
dams breaking it is to be repaired with
in thirty days after such breaking or leak
age, and should he fail to make such re-
pairs within the time limit, the lease i:
to become null and void. There has
been some demand that the lease should
contain clause restricting the price to be
charged for ice furnished the people from
this lake, but majority Of the council
did not deem it wise to take that step at
this time.

From the Herald.
E. G. Williams and wife and
Miss Fisher of Medicine Lodge were
Isabel visitors Sunday. DR.. Upde-
graft returned with the party to the
Lodge.
During the storm Sunday even
ing lightning struck the barn on
the place Walt Huey is working
killing four of his horses, the dun
pony team, mare and one of the
mule team, taking four out of the
seven head he had.
People who have noticed Col.
Dye within the past twenty four
hours were surprised at his pert
ness and all around sprightly air;
this was easily explained when it
was found out that the Coils. wife
was to return from her Oklahoma
visit today.
Ed Boots little son, Clyde, fell
from a wagon Tuesday evening
and received a bump that dazed
him. While in this condition he
managed to find his way home and
to his bedroom. He got into bed
and when found by his mother was
unconscious, nor could he be rous-
ed to tell what the matter was.
DR.. Updegraf was called, on ex-
animation no serious injury was
discoverable. Wednesday morning
the young man was all right but
weak and was kept quiet for the
day.

The trained animal and bird show by
Prof. F. Hamnet last Friday night was
truly marvel. The clever acts Of his
performing birds, chickens. geese, dogs
and goats were beyond anticipation. The
only thing lacking to make the entertain

professor has spent many years IN train
ing his speeches. performers and he has
representatives from nearly all climes.
The exhibition Of the birds Independent
Of the performances is worth the price Of

Benighted Turkey.
William Jennings Bryan in the Reader

William Jennings Bryan IN the header
The Turkish government is a theocracy
and the sultan rules more through his re-
ligious hold upon the people than through
the instrumentalties of government, but
even the sultan is in constant fear of rev.
olution, and has established a strict CEN
sorship over the press and over the books
coming into his domain. Some amusing
instances are given of the rigor of this
censorship. One man had set of Shake
speare held up at the port because the
censor discovered that it contained a de-
scription of the killing of Macbeth. ct
was not considered safe to allow the peo-
pie to read Of the killing OF q king. lest
the killing Of the sultan might be sug-
geSted to their minds) In another in
stance several Sunday school lessons were
forbidden because they recounted the kill
ing of some of the Old Testament kings.
One young man was imprisoned because
he had in his house scrap of paper
which contained Gladstone's denuncfation
Of the sultan-the scrap having been
given to him because on the opposite side
it contained the advertisement of a hair
restorer; and another man was imprisoned
because in answering an inquiry in regard
to an engine he mentioned the number
Of revolutions desired-the word revolu-
ton having but one meaning among the
sultan's spies. Yet the schools are at
work, and 1T is only Il question of time
when there will be intellectual force
with which the sultan must reckon.

Not the Kind He Wanted.
rom the Youths Companion.


PROGRESSED politicians who have reduced
public office to an exact science find the
independent voter a sad stumbling block
a fact which is amusngly disclosed by a
story found in the recent life of the late
George Monro Grant. the eminent Canadian
educat tor and clergyman.
Toward the d of Sir John Macdonald s
life he and Principal Grant. then the head
of Queens College, met at dinner at the
house of the premier's brother-fn-law, Prof
Williamson.
How l WISH" the premier said to the
principal, that you would be steady
friend of mine
My dear Sir john" the principal replied
81 have always supported you when you
were right.
The premier's eyes twinkled. and he laid
hts hand upon the shoulder of the princi-
pal.
My dear man. said he. Il have no use
for that species Of friendship!'

South American Trade.
From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Relatively the trade of South America
may be considered untouched by the United
States While South America embraces
an immense and populous area, its pur-
chases from the United States are, COM
paratively, smaller than the purchases of
Mexico. Central America or the West In
dies. For instance, during nine months
ending in September. 1906. South America S
purchases from this country amounted in
value to $50, 961. 1O7 while Mexico's pur-
chases during the same period totaled S.
OCT, 1868, and the West Indies bought goods
valued at $4,000 439. Central America s
purchases during the same period reached a

Decline of Chinese Tea.
rom the Youths Companion

From the Youths Companion.
Some interesting statistics have been COL
lected by Vice Consul Arnold at Foochow
concerning the great decline in China's tea
trade From 1878, when tea was first intro
duced into England. until 1887 China held
exclusively the tea trade of the world. Then
India began to enter the tea market. The
Chinese trade reached high tide in 1856
with a total export of 600 600 600 pounds. In
1884 China furnished about 20 per cent of
the worlds total India and Ceylon IS per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per cent.
But in 1904 when the total consumption had
increased to ga. 100000 pounds. China con-
trbuted only 30 per cent. India and Ceylon
co per cent Japan and Formosa 10 per cent
The decline in China is ascribed to careless
methods of cultivation and preparation of
the leaf
