According to a consular report
just issued, Danish civil engineer
has succeeded in producing beer in
the form of tablets. These are dis
solved in hot water, supplying when
cooled, beer of excellent quality and
flavor.
Some more japanese seal poachers
have been overhauled by the United
States authorities. Instead of
raising an international hullabaloo
japan should be satisfied with an
entry of the incident on the station.

After August /, writing may be
placed on third of the face of
postal card on the left hand side.
The picture postal card seems to
owe its popularity to the fact that it
reduces to minimum the duty of
writing anything.
Candidates for governor in New
York are now forbidden by law to
spend more than $4,000 in a can
vass. Mr.. Hearst admitted an
expenditure of S256,000 in his race,
and the consequential cash damages
were much greater. The new law
hits Hearstism in vital spot.
A Chicago theatrical manager has
offered the deposed Korean emperor
job in comic opera. But don't be
too sanguine of seeing him at popu-
lar prices. See what Boni Castel-
lane did with the offer of a walters
job in Shandy's or Herries' or some
of those New York sinker joints.
1t now appears that the Georgia
gunners lost their lives because they
were trying to fire a three. times-a
minute gun four times in sixty
seconds. They broke the record,
and broke a good deal else besides
as is so often the case with people
who want to do what nobody else
has done.
The fellows who went to the
Hague by the emperor's orders to
plead for the independence OF
Korea have been warned by the new
emperor not to return to Korea for
fear they get into Jail. They
couldn't have gotten it worse if
their case had been tried by the
national baseball commission.
Senator Tillman has proven to be
money maker for the various chau-
tauqua attractions he has addressed
this year, but sarcastic observer
remarks also that so would the merry
go-round and the hit-the- baby one
cigar features. If the chautauquas
simply want to draw crowds, there
are plenty of ways to do it.
More lives have been lost by acct
dent on American warships in the
past two years than were lost in the
navy during the war with Spain.
Sixty-one officers and men have
been killed in the navy by accidents
in the past four years, which is
many times more than the destruc-
ton in the navy during the war of
1898. La the past ten years 32o
officers and men have been killed in
explosions and other sorts of mis-
haps on six or eight vessels.
w. E. Eye, of Centerville, who
was appointed by Governor Craw-
ford to be telephone inspector for
the state voted for Debs the socialist
candidate for president in 1904, and
boosted afterwards about his devo.
ton to the socialist party. There
is no reason to suppose that he has
changed his convictions since. This
is Governor Crawford's way of
building up the republican party in
South Dakota. A little more
"upbuilding" of that kind and the
republicans will lose the state.
The streets of any town are not
the proper play ground for any
young woman. Scores of young
girls are constantly subjecting them
selves to the most unkind criticism
by their almost hourly presence in
the public streets. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to see young women sit
ting on boxes in front of store doors
or on the door steps of store rooms
in the morning, in the middle of the
day and late at night. They seem
