ITALY LOOKING FOR COAL.

Italy is poor in coal. No coal
fields of carbonifcrous age exist in
the country. Peat and Ignite, or
wood coal, are its only mineral fuels.
Thus, as in Ireland, the utilization
of the former is an important ma
tional problem. And company has
been recently formed under the title
of LA Socicta per PUtilizzanione
del Combustilihi ltalieni," to utilize
peat and Ignite for tile production
of electricity. It is proposed to
erect a generating station at Tos-
cano, near Lake Brenta. The COM
pany has been started at Milan with
a capital of f12,000. 1t may be
noted that the price of electricity
in Italy carries from 6.72d to S.65d
per unit 1t is cheapest in Rome
and Parma, and dearest in Genoa,
Turin and Palermo. In thus util-
iZing one of her natural assets in
the production Of electricity, Italy
is setting an example which might
we'll be followed in Ireland, which
is similarly rich in pcat.--Londor

cANARiES TO RENT.

"Canaries have served an odd pur-
pose this season." said a dealer in
birds. "They have been used as one
of the features in house and church
decorations. At weddings, COM
mencements and social affairs of all
kinds where lavish decorations were
in order cages of canaries have been
hung here and there among the
flowers and foliage, Most of these
birds were rented for the occasion.
In the spring and early summer
the demand for canaries as part of
a decorative scheme was so great
that | kept more than a dozen extra
birds on hand for renting purposes.

Gripping the Cripples

In September, 1902, railroad
employee in Michigan had both
legs mangled while coupling cars.
In February of the next year his
attorneys commenced suit for
damages.
The case was tried in October,
little over year after the in
jury. The jury awarded SIS, 900
damages. The railroad appealed
to the Supreme Court, which tri-
bunai. Ia March, 1904, remanded
the case for new trial. This new
trial was had in February, 1905,
and the jury gave a verdict of
$4,000. Again the railroad ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court,
which in May. 1906, again order
ed a new trial. But en- rehearing
the Supreme Court changed its
mind and affirmed the Judgment
OF the lower court. Meantime,
the railroad had been reorganiz-
ed. So, in January, 1907, it v as
necessary to begin suit against
its bOudSmen t. cul.eCt The ludg-
ment. In April, 1907, ,hc trial
jury gave judRm -n, against the
bond men, AID the defendants
promptly appraI,d to the Supreme
| Court
Five wears and one month after
the injury this judgment was
affirmed by the court of last re-
sort, and the injured man sees
some ground for hoping that,
after the usual argument for
rehearing and appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, he
may receive enough money to pay
his law expenses and have a little
left.
The above clipping from the
Saturday Evening Post gives an
adequate idea of the position of
some of the litigants in Richard
son County. There are cases in
Icourt now wherein certain of our
farmers have been trying for six
years to obtain compensation from
the Burlington railroad for dam
ages suffered, but have not been
able as yet to get their cases tried
for the first time. If these cases
should be tried the railroad would
take them to TIE Supreme court
aud delay them two or three
years longer. Is it any wonder
that people lose patience?

Now and Then


All those who participated in
the matinee musical given by
Mrs. Y. J. GiSt last week came
in for their full share of praise
from the more than so guests, and
all of the participants were en-
titled to the nice things said of
them for the program was eX-
cellent.
What a God given gift is beau
tiful voice, and what a beautiful
voice Mrs. Robt. Cain, jr.. of
Stella has. There is more than
power, tone and timbre to it,
there is that indescribab bic soul
quality behind it that men call
temperament; a quality that
brings a choking sob into the
throat and which inspires pure,
true, geous aspirations.
When Mrs. Cain closed the
program last Friday with Dan
nah's beautiful Cradle Song"
her effort was greeted with that
best of all tributes, perfect sill

among all the guests that was
not wet with tears.

Judge Wallace, one of the cir
cult judges of Kansas City, is
about 200 years behind his time.
He has started a crusade against
working n Sunday and h a
closed all cigar stands, barber
shops, meat markets. grocery
stores, theaters, and similar pub
lie places, The Judge is a bigot
and very narrow one at that.
Within four blocks of his court
room are hundreds of houses of
prostitution. Judge Wallace has
had many cigar girls arrested, yet
not one word does be utter against
the fallen persons who so public
" offer their wares. He threat
ems to close every theater in the
city and thereby deprive many
working people of their only op
portunity of recreation, amuse-
ment and instruction. We don t
know Jndge Wallace, but it's
dollars to marbles that he is a
narrow, bigoted crank; one of
the truly good whose morals
make him too good to call this
wicked old world his home. and
who believes his more liberal
neighbor is on the straight road
