the many so-called Porto Rican" brands.
The recent increased cast of Porto Rican

Come To Idaho for Divorces Now,

Hereafter those persons who de-
Sire to break their matrimonial bonds
and enter the try-again circle will not
go to South Dakota, but they'll come
to Idaho. Already there is said to be
an exodus of residents from the prairie
state to Idaho. This sudden stir and
fiutter has been caused by the action of
the legislature of South Dakota in
amending the laws of that state so as
to require a residence Of one year in
stead of six months, as at present, be-
fore either party to marriage contract
can sue for dissolution. All hearings
must be public and personal service
must be secured.
Granting divorces has been the one
industry on which South Dakota
has thrived. The revenue alone from
the dukes and lords of Europe and the
400" Of New York served to tide the
state over the hard times, when it
couldn't pay the bounty on the squirrels
killed, until the wild speculation in real
estate struck the country few years
ago.
Idaho, according to the lawyers, is
now the only state in. the Union where
a residence of six months is required as
a preliminary to divorce suit. 1t will
require no advertising of the resources
and possibilities of the state to turn
this sort of immigration this way, but
it might be well for real estate men
and commercial clubs to remember that
cottages and broad fields are not nee
essary. It's up to hotel men to import
the proper thing in servants who will
know how to receive poodle dogs and
dudes without giving offense to the
former.

During the mail weighing season re

During the mail weighing season re-
Gently when the contracts were to be
awarded for carrying the mails, the
surveyor general at Boise received
three-pound brick paper weights, ship
ped from the department at Washing
ton. Draughtsman's celluloid triangles,
weighing a fraction of an ounce, were
sent by mail, and were wrapped up for
keeps, all right. The triahgles, made of
thin celluloid, were not six inches
square, if laid out square. But they
were packed between inch boards, max
ing each package weigh more than two
pounds. That ought to be enough evil
dence to, enable the reader to arrive at
one Of two conclusions: either Uncle
Sam hss in his employ a packer who
understands his business, or else he is
paying wages to man who is serving
two masters.

A Legislative Bureau.

The last session of the Illinois legisla-
ture took step toward preventing loss
of time by the lawmakers of the state
on freak bills and matters upon which
discussion can bring no benefit to the
state. A bureau has been created to
prepare and suggest necessary legisla-
ton to be submitted to the legislature
at its regular session. The board, which
is known as the legislative reference
bureau, will gatheys. information con-
corning legislation il other states, will
study the framing of laws, keep in
touch with court decisions as affecting
legislative power and will be ready to
submit the result of its deliberations to
the legislature in an intelligent and con-
else fashion.
The Butte Evening News thinks the
plan is not without its good features,
and says there seems to be no reason
Why legislature should not conduct its
H,siness along business lines. and while
thu findings of the bureau would be in
no sense obligatory upon the legislative
assembly, they would undoubtedly be OF
considerable value to the body both in
expediting and facilitating it's work.
Such a bureau might have been a
good thing for last winters session of
the Idaho legislature, and then, again,
it might have been as useless as fifth
wheel to wagon. The service of such
a bureau would depend entirely upon
the men who connbpse it. Idaho's
legislature busted Itself with other mat
tiers so long that when it came to party
pledges there wasn't time to attend to
them. If the Illinois plan had been in
operation at Boise, and the bureau COM
posed of statesmen and not politicians,
The situation of the wire-pullers would

The wonder is not that so many people
move to Idaho every year, but that so
many fail to do so when the advantages
are so evident, says the Capital News.
They get better climate, better wages
for their services, better soil in which
to raise their produce, better mines
from which to dig their mineral, better
lands upon which to Craze their sheep
and cattle, better school system, bet
ter churches, better preachers, better
people to associate with, better health
and better, longer and happier life.

How a Panic May Come.

Goodwin's Weekly: 1t is natural to
think that while farm, factory and mine
are all producing enormously, no lasting
depression can come to our country.
Still there may be one way through
which it may come. There was no &C.
casion for the panic of 1893. 1t was
precipitated by half dozen bankers IN
the eastern cities; principally in New
York. They determined to destroy
silver as a measure of values. They
knew that President Cleveland only
wanted an excuse to act. They under
took to supply him that excuse. They
sent circular letters to all the bankers
in the United States, advising them to
withhold further credits and to press
collections, that there was great danger
that the country would soon go to a
silver standard. Of course they para
lized the country's industries, that they
intended to do, but they did another
thing which they had no intention OF do
ing. They so alarmed the capitalists
of the land that they began to with
draw and look up their deposits, and
this was so rushed that in few days
they had to close their doors, and all
that saved them from bankruptcy was
the invention of clearing house receipts,
through which they in effect stood back
to back, and each declared that all the
rest were solvent. That business on a
smaller scale might be repeated. Wall
street is in great trouble right now. A
desperate effort was made last winter
by the eastern bankers to stop the
people from speculatigg in mining
stocks, for when hundred men draw
out their deposits and buy mining shares
the bankers receive no profit; but when
those same one hundred people unite
and permit a banker to subscribe for
them to railroad loan, the banker re-
ceives his commission. He receives
both commission and interest when he
loans the money on his own account,
trusting that the deposits will remain.
But two years ago the government
undertook to put certain great corpora
lions on legal basis; to cure certain
wrongs which had crept into their sys-
tenn of finance; for instance, to make
railroads common carriers in fact, to
prevent discrimination in rates, to stop
railroad grating and the vicious use of
stockholders money, etc.; to regulate
insurance management; to stop land
frauds; to make packing houses sani-
tary, etc., etc. But certain demagogue
politicians and certain entirely unscrup-
ulous newspapers have seized upon this
as an excuse for trying to poison the
public mind and to make the masses
Egenerally believe that great Individual
or corporate wealth is but an evidence
of dishonesty and graft, and the fruit
of wholesale robbery. NoW if this
business continues long enough, the
people will do as they did in 1893 and
the country will wake up some morning
to find that the depositors are with
drawing their money from the banks
and locking it up in safety deposit
vaults, or putting it away in stockings
or under hearthstones, and the $33 OF
s34 per capita now in circulation will be
reduced one-half or two-thirds and bust;
ness will be paralized from Maine tc
California.

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE.

There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind were poor in mind,
And speech and deeds we're truthful;
Before love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid be-
came
Slave to the tyrant Fashion!
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em!
AS buxom and smart, and clean of
heart
AS the Lord knew how to make EN-!
They were rich in spirit and common
sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had
taught school, too,
And they made such likely courtin'
There are no boys like the good old
boys
When we were boys together!
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
4. That dimpled the laughing heather;
When the pewee sang to the summer
dawn
Of the bee in the billowy clover,
Or down by the mill the whip poor
will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
love
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine
again
For that precious grace-God gave
So we dream and dream of the good
old times,
And our hearts grow tender,
fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring sooth-
ing CLEANS
Of heaven away off yonder.

SAVINGS FUND FOR MARINES
Enlisted Men Now Have Privilege Ac-
corded Those in the
Regular Army.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.--In accordance
with a memorandum of changes made in
the national regulations issued today by
Secretary Metcaf, enlisted men of the
marine corps may deposit their savings
with the paymaster or assistant paymaster
Of the corps or such officers may carry
their pay accounts. This places the MEM
bers Of the marine corps on the same plan
with enlisted men of the army and the
navy as regards their savings
The provision for the making of such
deposits, which In no case is to be less than
s. a month, was made by law year ago
TO take effect on the first of July last but
II was not made effective until the Issuance
Of the regulations by the secretary OF the
navy. The money while on deposit with
the government will draw interest at the
rate Of per cent and the amount OF the
principal and accrued interest may be
drawn by the man on his retirement from
the service.

OMAHA MAN AS LECTURER
Rabbi Merritt Gains Distinction on
the Platform in Evans
VILE, Indiana.

Rabbi Merritt of Evansville, Ind, son OF
John Merritt Of Omaha, proprietor OF the
Willard Hotel pharmacy, is making an en-
viable reputation for himself as a Leo
turer and his lectures are being copied eN-
tensvey. A week ago he was the speaker
at a Mendelssohn evening at the Washing
ton Avenue temple I'm Evansville, when he
extolled Mendolssohn as 1.-The sweetest of
Jewish singers" "Mendelssohn was born at
the beginning Of a new epoch in the his
tory of Judaism and Jewish music" said
Rabbi Merritt. 1.-THE long shadows of the
medieval night through which the Jew
had suffered and endured we're melting
away before the sun of new enlghten-
ment when Mendelssohn was born. In the
medieval days the voice of Jewish song
had attuned itself to melancholy. The per-
secuted Jew was relieving his overburdened
heart with the change in Israers fortunes
at the beginning Of the nineteenth century,
with the emancipation from the hampering
disabilities Of medieval days, Jewish music
threw of the dark garments of the day OF
sorrow ond clothed itself in new and nobler
forms. The work OF Mendelssohn shadows
forth the commencement of an epoch in
which the soul Of gifted people was cast
ing of the disabilities that had cast their
shadows on Their fathers lives"
A week before Rabbi Merritt discussed the
prince of India" as a symbol Of Judaism
and the progress attending the people. He
said:
Those who saw the dramatization OF
General Lew Wallaces Prince Of India
were treated to a beautiful and SYM
pathetic presentation of the mission of the
Jew and Judaism The prince of India Is
that mythical figure and mysterious being
known as the Wandering Jew and In the
great struggle OF conflicting races and
religions, Turk against Greeks and Moslem
| against Christians, he pictures the Jew
standing above the blgoted and furious
| parties to the conflict, preaching the gospel
of peace on earth, good will 20 man and
exhausting every effort to carry out his
| lofty mission, that of bringing the
struggling parties and rival sects to the
recognition of the noble truth of the
| fatherhood OF God and the brotherhood of
man. In that story Wallace has given the
picture of the divine purpose that has
miraculously preserved the Jew from CEN
| fury TO century, ever renewing his strength
and vigor. while ancient and modern people
all around him moulder into dust, that he
might continue his hercuean task of build
| ing the great temple Of human fellowship"

ashes from hard or soft coal. In the
great lumber ~naills of the west and
Canada shavings ana s--scGst are used for
fuel. Gilmore says that n,at sRturating
the sawdust with his compound ne can not
only produce more intense heat, but that
he will get residue which can be treated
and burned a second time.
carrying the discovery to the marine
boiler rooms, where every steamship would
produce its own ashes to burn with a
dampened mass of one-third coal and two
thirds waste material It would give
greater steam generating power and with
economy that would greatly reduce tho
cost of transportation.
That John Gilmore has stumbled across
a scientific secret and without any knowl-
edge of the principles of chemistry Is
tscitly acknowledged in the attitude Of
the Edison electric light works of AL
toona, where a test was made two weeka
ago in the presence Of the chief engineer,
who reported to the general manager that
in the firing of two boiler furnaces, one
with soft coal and the other with three
gallons Of water in which two teaspoon
fuls Of the compound had been dissolved,
the soft coal fire did not last as long, nor
heat units as the fire built under Ellmore's
direction. request was made that he send
100 pounds Of the compound for further
experimentation, but DR.. Hoy who Is
backing him in the enterprise, advised
him not to comply, but that he offer to
make any number of tests personally
without permitting his chemical to be
handled by any other hands than mis- own.
The general view taken of his claims W
to that time was that the unconsumed
particles of coal in the ashes he used
furnished an additional agent of combus-
ton when saturated with water, the neat
of the fire releasing the oxygen and hy-
drogen in a gaseous form.
Fillmore disproved this theory by satu-
rating the ashes OF burned newspapers
with his solution and mixing the mass
with soft coal ashes and coal. He pro
duced a fire of greater intensity than 3
coal fire built in an adjoining furnace.

SNOW SUITS DRY FARMERS
Eastern Colorado Rnnchmen EXpecI
to Raise IA Blg Crop This
Year.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, April 20
Ten inches of snow fell last night and the
storm this morning showed no sign of
abatement. Although there has been some
damage to fruit by reason of the cold
weather, this Is small in comparison with
the benefit to the farming lands Of eastern
Colorado where the dry farming system is
in use Ranchers are delighted with the
prospects for big crop as a result.
TOPEKA, KAN, April 2O.-snow was re-
ported today at Phillipsburg, in the north
ern part Of Kansas, and at Garden City and
other southwestern points.
PUEBLO Colo, April 2O.-The snow
storm that began at noon yesterday con-
tjnued throughout the night and this morn
ing, with six inches on the ground, there
was no immediate prospect of cessation.
The storm this morning extended east to
Dodge City. Kan, and south into Texas
The snow drifted badly Gripping railroad
and street car traffic. The thermometer
registered Is this morning. Fruit and veg
etables are badly damaged.
DENVER, April 20.-Thirteen inches Of
snow fell in Denver during the twenty-four
hours ending at 6 o'clock this morning. II
was the heaviest snowfall Of the winter
and the greatest precipitation recorded here
IN April since 1880, me WealheI CleaIeu Jul
ing the forenoon. The storm was general
throughout the state. While some damage
has been done to fruit trees, the moisture
is Of incalculable benefit to farmers and
gardeners.
AMARILLO, Tex, April 0-Rain last
night was followed by snow today The
precipitation is general over the Panhandle
country and is Of great benefit As early
fruit was killed in the recent freeze no
damage was done by the present storm.
