After mature consideration 1t seems
to us that one more specification
should be added to the regulations Joi
the railroads beside ordering them to
raise all employees salaries 30 per
cent and forbidding them to discharge
any. They ought to by compelled to
pay farmers 81 a bushel for wheat
and so cents bushel for corn at all
stations. That would bring the mil.
lenium-until the railroads treas
uries ran dry. Yet that proposition
is as sensible as some others that are
being promulgated.

The following prayer was offered up
by the chaplain Of the national house

Lord, deliver us, we beseach Thee,

We note with some anxiety that the
Yankton 6 South Pole railroad is still
flirting with Solomon, New Cambria,
Sand Springs and Acme, seeming to
be inclined to break away from Abb
lene's charms. This, Of course, means
war. Abilene will not likely allow
any such flirtatious action on the part
OF the Yankton railroad. About the
only thing to do at the present time
is to arm for combat and go forth pre-
pared to retain our rights. 1t seems
to us that Colonel L. C. Little 10 the
proper person to organize the bri-
gades. He knows something about
military tactics and has an army sad
die and blanket with stars In the
corners; besides he lives on the west
side and is the nearest military
authority to the line Of wooden stakes
that the Yankton road has placed. 1t
is not exactly clear who should be the
lieutenant colonies Of this attacking
force but Abilene has such number
Of able CONTESTANTS that we think no
difficulty would be found in securing
a sufficient citizenship. At any time
the bugle is blown on the west side
everybody should turn out and form
In line.

Metallic Mirrors.

The production of metallic mirrors
for searchlights and other such uses
is now in demand in Europe Those
made of glass, now used, are objec-
tionable owing to their liability to
fracture when the guns are fred on
ships, and to the silvering on the mir
rors blistering and separating from
the glass. A new metallic mirror,
made partly by electro-deposition, 10
being introduced. The mirror has .
surface composed of alternate bands
or rings Of gold and white rejecting
surfaces. 1t is claimed that this mir
ror gives a mor penetrating beam Of
light. both at night and in foggy
weather; that objects on which such
q beam of light IL thrown stand out
In greater relief than in q light
thrown from a silver white metal mir
ror. and that the intensity of the light
Is SO great that it is impossible to aim
accurately at the protector. Another
advantage claimed for the new mir.
ri is that they are not fractured by
conclusion, and that even when pen
Grated by bullets the area of distor
ton II very small.

Spokes and Tires.

John D. Rockefeller has one virtue
which even his greatest critics won't
deny him: He doesn't affect public
dinners. The secret of this abstinence
he recently confided to his family
physician.
In the first place. he said, Il
can't eat much, as you know"
But you don't have to eat At such
feasts," protested the doctor.
I'm aware Of that" replied J. D.,
but you do have to sit through the
speeches, and If there's anything l
dread it's that sort of thing. To my
mind an afrer-dinner speech is like a
bicycle wheel; the longer the spoke
the greater the tire"

Submarines for Sponge Fishing.

Illustrations, together with a full
description, are given in a Partisan
journal of a novel type of submarine
intended for the sponge-fishing indus
try on the coast of Tunis. The vessel
is built wholly of iron and is 1874 feet
In length by 5.24 feet in diameter, the
general form being cylindrical. with
hemispherical ends. 1t is intended to
carry two men, and is fixed so as to
enable the vessel to move along the
sea bottom. An electric lamp with
reflectors fixed in front will serve to
illuminate the bed of the sea, and q
glazed spy-hole in the bow Of the YES
sci enables the crew to seek out and

We talk 80 much, and We think so
much more, of the trouble we have
with others. that we more than half
persuade ourselves that If everybody
else were just right. we could get on

than half of all our troubles. even Of
our troubles with others, grow out OF
our own faults and our own failures
and not the faults and failures of

IMPORTANT TO ALL WOMEN
READERS OF THIS PAPER

Women are as subject to kidney
trouble as men, which fact is often
overlooked.
Many woman's complaints often
prove to be nothing else but kidney
trouble, or the result of kidney or
bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a heal
thy condition, they will cause the
other organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, bearing-down
feelings, headache and loss Of am
bition.
Poor health makes you nervous,
irritable and maybe respondent; it
makes anyone SO.
But thousands of irritable, ner-
vous, tired and broken-down women
have restored their health and
strength by the use of Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Blad-
der Remedy.
Swamp-Root brings new life and
activity to the kidneys, the cause
of such troubles.
Many send for sample bottle
to see what Swamp-Root. the great
Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy
will do for them. Every reader o1

HOBOS PULL GUNS
ON G. N. TRAlNlEN
Brakeman Ole Christensen Was
Target at kandiyohi Monday.

There was quite an exciting time
in the local railroad yards early
Monday morning. The excitement
had started at Delano when west
bound freight in charge of Conduc-
tor Kinkirter and Ole Christensen,
brakeman, attempted to get away
without taking aboard two west
bound ''blind" passengers. 1t
didn't succeed. either, for altho be-
ing chased off the front part of the
trai3, the "beaux' got on and
staid on until they got to Kandiyo-
hi. Not wanting such freight
when he pulled into Willmar,
Christensen again tried to have the
stranger vacate, but this time they
pulled out their guns and started
a fusillade so strong that Ole soon
was back in the caboose looking for
holes in his hat. He staid away
from the firing line till he got to
Willmar about six o'clock. Then
he telephoned the sheriff, who had
just finished a couple of hours
garden work as a preliminary to
the days political work, and here
is where the real fun started. As
soon as the "beaux'' heard that the
Prohib Sheriff had been sent for
they started on a lively sprint
westward, but they hadn't gone
far before they caught sight of the
very one they were running away
from, coming to meet them.
Then they turned about face and
went east closely pursued by the
officer of the law. From then or
it was a game Of hide and seek be.
tween the cars on the track, the
cows in the pasture and the bushes
on the lake shore. Near the resi-
dence Of VIM. Boyd the great
"cross country run ended with :
victory for the sheriff. The mer
were searched, but as no guns were
found it is thought that they were
thrown in the lake shortly before
their possessors were caught. A.
Christensen did not want to appear
against his assailers, they were
ordered to leave the city which
they did, continuing on their wa!
vest.

HEATING CONTRACT
FOR SCHOOL IS LET
Ben Benson Lands the Contract
For Installing the Heating
Plant in Central School.

At a special meeting of the Board
of Education last evening. the con-
tract for putting in steam heat
ing plant in the Central building
was let to Ben Benson of this city
for the sum of $3294. 90, that being
the lowest bid. The other bids
were $3465. 90, $408O.0O and $415O.-
90. The work will be commenced
at once and pushed to completion
before cold weather sets in. The
Board resolved to make application
to the state for loan of $4,000 for
the work. It will be remembered
that the annual school meeting
authorized bonds to the amount of
$3500, but the Board figured that
it could take care of the odd hun
dreds out of the general fund.
