Humorous Incident Of Giadstone's ri.
valry With Disraeli.
An anccdote Of Gladstone at the time
or his greatest rivalry with Disraeli Is
often retold. At dinner party the
subject Of Judaism cropped up.
Admitted" said Gladstone, that
the Hebrews have given the world a
philosopher in Splnoza, musicians In
Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer, u poet In
Heine. the fact remains that they
have not produced single statesman"
There was silence for moment. Ey.
cry one knew of course that this was
n direct alluslon to DisraelI. Then one
OF the company stepped into the
breach.
Mr.. Gladstone" he said, 'as a mat.
ter OF fact the Hebrews have produced
a statesman and one Of the greatest
the world has SEEN"
The fighting instinct Of Mr.. Glad.
stone surged up at once. MAY ask,
SIR" he said poIntedly. who was this
Hebrew statesman"
Every one. anticipating a more than
lively scene, waited In tense expecta-
tion for the answer. 1t came In the
quietest tones. Moses, SIR" Every
one smiled, and Mr. Gladstone Joined

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE"
The Municipal Plants of knishtstowrI
ind. Are In Bad Way.

The Star OF Muncie, Ind, recently de-
scribed the condition of the municipal
plants of KnShtStown, Ind. in the
following way:
THE municipal electric light and
waterworks plant Is threatened with
financial disaster unless relief meas
ures are taken at once. In order to
settle the question satisfactorily the
city council has decided to adopt the
referendum In the matter and let the
taxpayers vote on the proposition Of
Issuing bonds to enlarge and perfect
the plant
THE report OF the superintendent
shows that the electric light plant has
been running behind during the fiscal
year and that something must be done
to keep 1t in operation. The business
has increased so that there IS not now
adequate power for the dynamos. and
O new engine will have to be put In.
The city council also claims that the
rates are entirely too low and that
prices must be increased to keep the
plant on self sustaining basis.
"An ordinance Is now pending pro-
viding for the enlargement and i'm
provemeut Of the plant and providing
for n special election to determine IL
the city shall issue bonds calling for
$4,000. The present council he's had
much trouble In keeping the plant 60
Ing, and loans from the general fund
to the electric lighting fund have been
frequent for several months"
In response to request for con-
f1rmation Of the report the city clerk
Of KniGhtstown writes:
II would say that there has been no
Issue Of bonds nor change in the cleo
tric or water rates, but there Is ap-
parent need OF something to decrease
the cost or increase the income from
those sources"

Elephant.
In q recent issue the Municipal Jour-
nal and Engineer announced that the
municipal light and water plant Of NIL
ford Center. o.. was to be sold at
auction. The following was received
In response to a request for further in
formation from the president Of the
village:
IL beg to say that the reason for the
sale Of the municipal light and water
plant Is the failure Of municipal own
ership to operate the plant as econom-
icGlly as private interests could"
J. L. Boylan of the board of trustees
Of public affairs writes more fully:
"On account Of q fast increasing de-
dciency It Is deemed best to dispose OF
the plant. We have had twelve years
OF municipal ownership and have been
fortunate in getting good business men
at the head. yet the plant has never
been on a self supporting basis and is
now in need Of q great amount Of re-
pair. without any better outlook for
sufficient income to warrant expense.
We therefore wish to get rid Of

when a band of terrorists recently
rushed a somewhat remote postal tele-
graph subofilce with the command.
Hands upv a cool headed female oper-

The message was sent before the rob-

Another Case Of Estimate"

Fairfield. Ia. Is a city Of about 5000
population. which owns its own light
and water plants. A recent report OF
the period from April 1. 1908. to Dec.
81. 1905. shows that the cost Of opera
ton exceeded the appropriation by
5000 for the lighting plant and $4.314
for the waterworks. In other words.
the plants are costing nearly $1,000
year more than was expected. with no
allowance for the depreciation. which
Is adding another $1,000 annually to
the cost.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market 1t is taken intern
ally in doses from 10 drops to a tea
