word. He sat for several moments
gazing at the pneumatic tube stations
set up like horns Of an orchestrion at
the desks of the city and telegraph
editors. There was a buzzing sound as
a copy boy pulled q lever, and the old
man smiled as if expecting something
pleasant, then took on a look of dis
appointment. A few minutes later the
boy sent another piece of copy whirl-

Stewards Prophecy Realized.

When. shortly before his death in
1872, William II. Seward was asked
what he believed to be the greatest
achievement of his public career, be m
swered, The annexation Of Alaska"
He added. however, But the American
people will not grasp the value Of that
acquisition for a third Of q century
yet" This shows that Seward, the en-
pire builder, was also a prophet. Sew
ard has been dead for thirty-ive years,
and it is only in recent times that his
countrymen have appreciated the i'm
portance of Alaska as q possession.
Strong opposition was offered in the
house Of representatives in 1867 to
making the appropriation of $7,20O,00O,
the price which Seward paid to Russia
for the province. Said II of annexa-
TONS opponents III that chamber, "All
that Alaska will ever be able to pro
duce are polar bears and icebergs.'

region was Stewards Folly" But time
has fully vindicated Seward.-Leslie's

4 Stairway of Concrete.

One of the most novel. useful and
pleasing uses to which cement has
been put in interior construction is the
hanging concrete stairway. In its
construction 40 structural iron what
eve is used. only small channel bars
one-Guarter inch by three-quarter inch
spaced about four inches and covered
with expanded metal lath!ng. The
false work can be removed in two
weeks. The stairway supports not
only it's own weight, but. in addition,
1900 pounds of marble, and a load Of
1900 pounds has been carried up the
stairs without injury or detection.
Only the best quality cenent should
be used in interior work.-Philadel-

A HUNGRY GHOST.
Story of a Recent Premature Buria,
In China.

Story of a Recent Premature Burial
In China.
This is the tale of a ghost that eats,
and it has thrown the towns of the
Siangfu district of China into a COM
motion. The facts are related in the
North China Herald. On March 81
the thirty-year-old son of Tzi Lung, a
schoolteacher, was thought to have
died of typhus fever. His family be-
Ing very poor, the body was placed in
a frail wood coffin and buried only a
few inches under the soil outside the
western gate of the town of Slang
yang. On April 6 a man put his horse
to Craze on the spot. The beast found
good grass nea the grave and brought
its foot down upon the soil above the
coffin, the lid of which was broken.
In a little while the owner of the horse
saw Il gaunt white arm thrust up
through the hole made by the horses
noot.
Thinking the dead mans ghost was
about to rise to avenge the insult of
fered in the breaking of the coffin, the
watcher hurried Up and began shovel
ing earth into the hole to keep the
ghost down. \ muf1led voice expos
tulated and begged to be freed. claim
Ing to be the living son of III Lung.
The watcher fled in terror to the town,
where he told every one he met of
what had happened. The ghosts fla
ther urged that the ghost should be let
alone and not further disturbed.
A large crowd, however, went out
of the city to view the wonder. The
ghost kept begging most ~piteously to
be let out. one MAJ had courage
enough to unearth the cover of the
coffin completely and open it, allowing
the 'resurrocted' man to sit up. Rice
soup and wine We're brought and raw
enously devoured by the ghost, still
sitting upright in his coffin imbedded
in the earth.
Finally the unhappy spirit was re
leased and confined in a temple until
he could prove himself to be a living
man.-Chicago News.

NEED LARGER SEWER
Recent Rainstorms Show the Pressing
Need of More Adequate
Sewerage tor Mitchell.

1t is very evident that Within a
short time the main sewer along the
business thoroughfare will have to be
enlarged. This has been fully
demonstrated in the last two or
three excessive raiEStormS that have
visited this section. As a result of
those rains the water from the
sewers have backed up into the
easements OF business houses along
Main street and merchants have
Teen forced to sustain heavy losses
by having goods water soaked in the
easements. Something like five
years ago, when the cloudburst
visited the city the easements were
put in the same condition and at
that ii ae there was a loud cry for
a larg er along Main street, but
Oh tie supposltion that There would
not be another such q storm i'm a
good many years there was nothing
done to relieve the condition.
Since then, however, the sewer
on Main street has been raore than
over b%urdened. Connections have been
made in a great many places from
business houses, additional catch
basins have been installed and
additional sewers have been added
from side streets. An OF this has
drawn on the capacity Of the Main
street sewer to the extent that it is
wholly inadequate to meet the needs
of a city OF the growing size OF
Mitchell,
1t is placing too heavy a burden
anG an unnecessary one ON tue 0usi-
ness men to ask them to put up with
the conditions that now exist. and
every u of them will join with the
city council in an effort to relieve
the conditions. Just what is the
best plan to follow can be obtained
by an Investigation. 1t is to be
hoped that the city council will take
up this matter without delay ..anG
commence to install something fo1

fare, and this will also relieve the
conditions off of Main street.

management very much regretted
this, but we did the best we could
under the circumstances.
The question has been asked us as
to whether the Modern Woodmen
take in negroes. l wish to state that
it is q white mans order, and that
only white men can join. At the
time OF the organization of the
Order, no ruling was made to this
effect, and two men OF negro blood
got into the Order without their
examination papers showing that
they were negroes. They were ac-
cepted and their certificates deliy-
cred to them, and the fees paid
before it was discovered that they
we're negroes. They cannot be ex-
PEELED as their morals are of the best,
but a rule was Immediately made to
the effect that only white men could
join the Order. Unfortunately one
of those lnen was with us at the
time OF the Log Rolling, and some
CONSERVATION was caused among
local members at the sight of the
colored man, whose behavior how
ever was excellent, but wore a
Modern Woodmen badge.
| hope this explanation will satisfy
local curicusity.
Thanking yor for the great courtesy
in the assistance you have rendered
us in making the Log Rolling the
great success it was, I remain.
Yours very truly,

Editor Republican: at the time
OF the Log Rolling there was a great
disappointment over the non-arripal
of one Of our expert log rollers. |
wish to state that this was not the
fault of the management, but the
result Of the wires getting crossed
between here and Washburn, Wis

presence Of Mr.. George Glazier and
his associate, of Washburn. We
wired them their tickets, and when
Mr.. Glazier went to the depot the
day he started for Mitchell, he found
to his dlsmay that the agent Ia
received a message to deliver only
one ticket. He concluded at once
that we had some one else to roll
against him, and that this friend
was not wanted, SO he started alone.
We were not aware of this until
his arrival. We Their found that our
telegram was sent correctly from here
but that the mistake was made else
where. Both Mr.. Glazier and the
