donors known q. TIE time that
Mr.. Bentley's purpose was to es
sablish a saloon and billiard hall
~ the building, and that it was
for this business that the build
ing was erected. However, II
Mr.. Bentley should carry out
his threat to turn the opera
house into a hotel, it would not
be long before the business men
OF M:lbank would erect one with.
out the attachments OF the pre-
sent one,-and one that would
not be conducted solely for the
personal and political advance
ment of Mr.. Bentley.
The demand of the council for
proper fire escapes IN case OF
fire or panic is a public demand,
as any who has been at the opera
house and witnessed the exit OF
q crowd from the building, can
testify. There may never be a
fire in the building, and 1t is
hoped there never will be, but it
is the unexpected that happens
in these matters, and we'll in
formed people realize that in pre-
sent condition the building would
prove q veritable fire trap, and
that every reasonable precautlon
should be taken against the loss
Of life that would be almost sure
to follow q fire panic. II Mr..
Bentley is unable to provide this
protection to the public it should
be done for him by q general
subscription or in some other
Way.

The mayor of New Ulm, MINI /,
neglected or refused to keep the
saloons closed on Sunday in his
burg. becausea majority ofthepeo.
Pile of the city preferred to have
them open. The attorney-gener-
al however orders the mayor to
close the saloons Or surrender
his Office. The attorney generals
letter is as follows:
l nm advised by residents of your
city that the saloons are allowed to
remain open and to carry on their
business on Sunday.
It IL unnecessary to call your at
tentiOn to the fact that it is your duty
ne mayor to cause the laws of the state
relating to heregulstion of the liquor
traffic to be enforced in your city. I'm
der the same law it il myduty to cause
the removal and punishment of muri-
cipal officers who wilfully neglect to
enforce such liquor laws.
It is entirely likely that there are a
number of good people in your city
who do not regard this law favOrably,
but they must bear In mind thatthey are
q part of the state and they should not
permit themselves to be put in o false
light by either encouraging or coun-
tenancing the violation of . valid
state law.
If each community were allowed to
choose which Of u state laws 1t
would obey and which It would violate
there would be an end of all govern
ment, and the only safety lies in the
impartial enforce ment of all our state
laws, and l do not believe that the
people OF your city q to be classed
amongst those who would show dis
respect for or defy the authority OF
the state.
The saloons Of your city must close
and remain closed on Sunday the
same ae elsewhere in the state. and un-
less I am advised that you cause this
to be done henceforward, l will be
compelled to exercise the power con-
Mrred upon this Office In the premises.
Kindly let me hear from you.

THE BAY HORSE.
An Old Arab Legend That Tells Of His
Unmatched Speed.

Unmatched Speed.
The bay colored horse is said to be
the swiftest of all the horses. A story
to illustrate this is told of a certain
Arab sheik who, having been engaged
In a fight with another tribe, was TAX
ing his flight with his little son.
They were both mounted on a mag
nificent white mare which belonged to
the sheik and which had always been
highly valued on account Of the great
speed at which it could 60. After hav-
ing ridden some little distance the
sheik asked his son to look around and
see II they were being followed. The
boy replied that there was some one
riding after them on a black horse.
The sheik seemed satisfied on hearing
this report, but presently repeated his
question. The boy answered that they
were still being pursued, but that this
time the horse was white. Never
mind" said the father; mine Is
faster"
In a few minutes he asked for a
further report. and the reply was the
same, with the difference that the horse
was a chestnut. The shiek, however,
put his question a fourth time. but
upon being told by his son that the
pursuer was mounted on a bay he
cried out. Then we are lost, for there
is no horse which it cannot overtake."
His words proved to be true, for in a
short time they were caught up with
and captured.
Went ncalle For.
Deacon Eden Libby Of Bridgton.
Me-, was a man of rugged virtues and
indomitable will. Some winters ago
while working In his wood lot he cut
his foot badly. but, bandaging the
wound roughly and putting snow into
his boot to stop the bleeding, contin-
ued at his work until nightfall. Sad
to relate, he took cold, and death re-
suited q few days later. 4 local char.
acter named Farrar was clerk and gen
eral utility man at the Cumberland
House in Bridgton village at that time
and was accustomed to make note on
the hotel register from day to day OF
local e~vents-the weather. etc. In his
chronicle of this sad event he wished
to Indicate that Deacon Libby's death
was unnecessary. The following may
be seen today on one of the old regis
ters at the Cumberland House:
deacon Eden Libby died today. He
cut his foot badly, did not have the
wound attended to and went to meet

According to statistics presented at
the opening of the first international
exposition of Safety Devices and In.
dustrial Hygiene, held in New York
recently, half million working men,
women and children are killed or
manned, in the course of their labor,
in the United States every year-an
average OF about 1000 day. Carroll
D. Wright on that occasion said that
the number of lives sacrificed on rail.
roads in the three years ending In
June, 1905. was greater than the losses
of three years OF the Bosr War.
It was with view to arousing pub
lie interest in means for stopping this
annual sacrifice that the exposition
was opened in the Museum Of Natural
History, and that Gov. Hughes lent
the influence of his presence at the
dinner with which it was inaugurated.

F0rmaTin Treatment for ScOurs In
Calves.

| Probably the greatest trouble and
the most loss in rearing calves on skim
milk is caused by Scours. There have
been many different methods of treat
j ing this in the past, but probably the
most effective is that recently suggest.
ed by DIR. Klein of, the South Carolina
Experiment Station.
A half ounce of formalin is added to
154 ounces of distilled, or rain water;
one spoonful Of this solution is then
added to each pint or pound of milk
fed the calf 1t is we'll to reduce the
amount of milk about shalf when the
affection is first noticed. l,v doing
this an excess of the formalin solution
will not be used. Care must be taken
that excessive amounts are not fed, as
disaster will probably follow the care
less using of this remedy. This rem
edY has only been found useful in treat
ing calves affected with scours caused
by skim. milk.
The formalin treatment has been used
at this station recently with great
deal of success on some Is calves, and
1t is usually effective in from one to
four doses. 1t has never required over
eight doses to effect cure; and only
in one instance has it proved ineffici-
ent. This particular case was of long
standing before this remedy was tried.
Overlooking on skim milk is one of
the. causes of scours. 1t has been
found that 10 pounds of skim milk for
the first 100 pounds ofs live weight; 5
pounds for the second 100, and 2a pounds
for the third 100. is an excellent pro-
portion for days feed. Shelled corn,
or shelled corn with bran "a to l by

skim-milk fed for calves under three
months old, and l to for those over
three months old, with all the good,
clean hay the calf will eat, makes a
healthful and satisfactory ration.

The Ziegler Magazine for the Blind
the first publication of it's kind IN thi
country and the second one In tn
world has just come from the press. 1
is now being sent to the sightless thou
sands in America through the benevo
lence of Mrs. William Ziegler, widow

is more bulky than the ordinary pub
lication, and is twelve by thirteen
inches, comprises fifty sheets and
weighs almost one pounds. The sheets
are printed only on one size. They are
very thick, since the characters. con-
sisting of raised dots and dashes, have
to be first made on a metal plate and
then reproduced on the paper. The
Braille system of type is used.
Much care has been taken by Walter
q Holmes, the editor, in compiling
the magazine. Many poems and stories
have to be omitted because they deal
with the sense of sight. AllusiOns to
starlight, rainbows. clouds
and beautiful scenery may not be print
ed as they serve to emphasize to the
readers the sense of their affection.
Over 10000 copies of the first issue
have been printed. OF this number
6, 900 have already been sent to blind
readers among the general public. The
remainder will be distributed among
the students now in schools for the
blind. The magazine contains no ad.
vertising and is absolutely free.
In addition to stories, poems and
current news, the first number con-
tains a map of the Panama canal.

5he location Of North and South Amer
Ca, Cuba and the lsthmus. Some of
ihe points on the map are marked with

contains letter from President Ro0se-
