When Jefferson's Declaration
of Independence was read at
Philadelphia on July 4, iT76, 1t was a
little leaven of liberty placed in the
human heart which has been working
its wondrous works from that day to
this and which will continue 10 work
until there IL no sort of government
save representative government in any
civilized country. or course the Rus
sian douma is having a tough time
getting itself started. but so had the
English parliament. the French Assem-.
bly, and the rest The douma, however.
Will ind Its way to stand. Cossacks
may dissolve 1t and ride 1t down few
times, but that douma will be there
finally doing the peoples work. and
the bloody Cossacks will be eating
tamely out of its hand. The latest
suggestion as to extending the repre-
sentative form of government In Eu-
rope is for Balkan federation to be
formed at first Of Roumania, Bulgaria
Of King Charles of Roumania, at its
head. The hope is that later on Mace
donia and Albania would enter the con-
federacy, which would then posSess
population and resources enough to
take an important position in Euro
pean affairs. All good people every
where will wish them success, even IL
they retain the monarchical form OF
government-that is. a fixed head with
an elective parliament or congress-for
the Roumania princes have demon
strated fine qualities and great capac.
ity. The curse of the Balkan people is
the jealousies of small and jangling
states.

new PROCESS FOUND
FOR SEASONING LUMBER
1t Has Been Perfected and
Placed on Market.
MAY PROVE REVOLUTION.

Chicago, July pa Chicago firm
has perfected and is placing on the
market a new process for seasoning
lumber for use in connection with its
moist air kiln. This system is so
arranged that it is adapted to other
makes of moist air kilns, with a few
changes in the construction and the
proper amount of heating surface, and
from results reported on the new sys-
tenn, it is due to revolutionize and re-
place all present methods of drying.
Especially is this true for factories
drying oak and other hardwood ium-
Der, as conditions such as they are to
day in the lumber market require
system of drying that is adapted for
handling lumber that has been air
dried only a short time, on account
of the scarcity of well aid dried stock.
With the new process the company
claims to be able to take any kind OF
commercial lumber and dry it quickly
and without injury.

Patrons of the HagerstoWn
Fair Will Get Benefit
Of 1t This Year.
NO MORE "BUMv LEMONADE
1T is NECESSARY TO LABEL ALL
CONTAINERS WITH EXACT CON-
TENTS AND THE PUBLIC is
PROTECTED.

Hagerstown. Ind. July 20.-Visitors
to the Hagerstown fair this week will
have an opportunity to benefit by the
pure food and drug law passed at the
first session of the fifty ninth con-
gress. The law provides that any
vessel. bottle. box or in fact any con-
tainer. must have printed on it a
statement of the exact contents.
Therefore if the refreshment vender
wishes to make his lemonade from
acid. water and ice. he must SO state
the fact on the outside of the vessel in
which he keeps this drink. but if he
really uses lemons in making this uni
versal Playground drink, he is entitled
to use the word lemon also. This law
will drive the acid drink from the
ground because no one will drink acid
lemonade if they know it. hence there
will be little demand for it. The old
time cry. "All you can drink for five"
as shouted by the strong lunged dis
penser of drinks, will be practically
done away with, for the profits on
real-for-sure lemonade go glimmering
when compared to the profits on the
acid lemonade. especially when come
camel-capacity youth would hand up
his nickel and proceed to slack his
thirst after dozen or SO balls of pop
corn and two or three rods of ice
cream candy. 1t is safe guess that
the vendors of refreshments will pay
attention to the new law. because there
is hardly any one but who knows what
it means to tamper with Uncle Sam.

ARE SINKING COAL MINES
Syndicate of Several Millions
Is Formed.
FIELDS IN NOTTINGHAM.

London, July 20.-A syndicate with
capital of several million pounds
has been formed for the purpose of
sinking coal mines in Nottingham and
several adjoining counties. An emin-
ent expert believes that the proven
ground is a mere fraction of the col
lective coal area in the MidIands.
Coal is being profitably worked at
depth of over 5000 feet. Several
new coal seams have just been struck
in this country. The export demand
for coal has recently been so great
that railways and British seaports
have been literally choked with it.
