1.-The County Chairman" in the st.
Paul Dispatch says IF the people
want county option or any other
liquor legislation, they will get it"
but asserts that "it is fostered more
by an enthusiastic few rather than
by any great majority of the people"
Yet in the Legislature the Republican
majority did not dare to give the
citizens Of the state an opportunity
to vote upon an iron-clad constitu-
tional amendment outlawing the sa-
loon. If the friends Of county option
and prohibition ever discover how
numerous they are, they may in the
same second of time realize how fool
ish they are to look to a saloon-mort-
gagged party to give them the legisla-
ton which they have it in their own
power to enact whenever they sub
stitute ballots for petitions and begin
to elect themselves and the party
which represents them to power.

WOMEN AND PROHIBITION.
There are two sides even to the equal
suffrage question. Those who imagine
that the women, enfranchised. would rush
to revise their opinion. Here's a pointer.
One of the most serious hindrances to
at the state fair was the advice given
husbands by their wives not to subscribe:
Again and again we had almost landed
a passer-by when his wife, by a word
sleeve would get him off our hook. 1t
should be said, though, in justice to the

ACCOUNTING FOR THE FLY.
Explanation That Probably Did Not
 Satisfy Traveller.

Before sailing for Egypt for the winter James Hagen Hyde said at farewell dinner in New York:
 "The only drawback to a tropical winter is the flies In the hot sun ot a January day in Egypt, Morocco CT Algeria the flies are an incredible pest. You see them in the corners of the eyes of native children and men lie asleep in sunny places with flies crawling over their lips.
 The natives don't mind the flies. In fact, they like them. At boorj or native inn in the Sahara a traveller said to the waiter. pointing indignant ly at his stew of barley and goats flesh:
 "' How comes this dead fly in my couscous?'
 Monsieur, replied the waiter, T can not tell you. Perhaps the had not eaten for many days and throwing himself ravenously on the cous. cous led with too great heartiness. thereby contracting an inflammation of the stomach severe enough to cause death The poor little thing can never have been strong When I brought the eous-cous it was dancing and hum ming merrily on the surface.

THE JENA DISASTER
NUMBER OF DEATHS CAUSED BY EXPLOSION OF FRENCH WAR
 SHIP MAY REACH t2O

Toulon. France, March.-The efforts to recover the bodies of those killed by the explosion on board the French battleship Jena, which have been car ried on with energy for twenty-four hours, have not yet resulted in def nitely fixing the number of casualties. Alter the last roll call there were still unaccounted for eight officers and ll0 men. Unfortunately, there is little doubt that all these missing men perished. The roll call was ap- piled only to the crew of the Jena, and as it is believed that some twelve or fifteen arsenal hands were engag- cd on board the battleship at the time of the explosion, it is feared that the total number of dead will reach 120 In this belief the naval hospi- tal here was instructed to prepare mortuary space for that number Min ister of Marine Thomson made a sec ond visit to the Jena. after the dry dock had been emptied of water, and made careful examination of every part of the battleship that was access sible. The steel planking and the par titions of the battleship show signs of having been subjected to enor- nous pressure. In many places they are bulged out or indented The gap in the side of the vessel acted as a safety valve for the vast volume of gas, without which the explosion would have had even more disastrous results. Weeping wives. mothers and other relatives of the missing men thronged the approaches to the hos ptal. hoping that their loved ones were still alive. and eagerly scan ming the stretchers that were brought in. Fifty bodies were recovered dur ing the day, but only twelve of them could be recognized. The remainder were formless masses of charred flesh

Train Crossed Burning Trestle.

After consulting crew and paSSen- gers, Engineer W. F. Lee, on a Cot ton Belt train, passed over a burning trestle fifteen miles west of Memphis, in Arkansas, and reached that city in safety. Hauled by engine 6l mak- ing it's initial run, the train was travel ing up to the limit when the burning trestle was discovered and the train brought to a standstill After con sultation with the crew and passen- gers, the train was backed up for a fresh start. Several piers of the tres tie were burning and three or four had been entirely consumed, and the new engine weighs ten tons more than the "50's" which usually haul this train into Memphis, but in spite of this the gauge was pushed to the limit, the throttle was opened and the train dashed across the bridge at 70-mile gait The passage was made in safe ty and the train rolled into Memphis only few minutes behind time. In addition to crossing the trestle in safe ty.
