The National Editorial Associa-

the prison about half past four,
and under the charge of competent

Pri$On=built Binder
Proves a Success.

Minnesota has concluded the
first chapter in what promises to
be most important state indus
try. Tuesday the State Board of
Control went to st. Elmo, near
Saltwater, and witnessed an ex-
pertinent of the first self binder
made by the state prison at Still
water. The experiment was a
complete success and showed that
the prison has turned out first
class machine.
The plan to make machinery at
the state prison was decided upon
at the last legislature, and since
then Warden Wolfer has had
charge Of the experiments. -Four
or five machines Will be made this
year and next year the plant will
be sufficiently complete to turn
out large number. The ma
chimes are called the minnesota
binders and will be sold at cheap
rate to Minnesota farmers. It
will be severe blow at the binder
trusts operating in Minnesota. As
soonsas possible the plant will be
made SO complete that every item
entering into the construction of a
binder will be made by prison la

a special feature being the rendi-

0oyAuS a little heavenly music
is appropriate on all programs.
The paper treating of the sub
ject, "Elocution." was contribu-
ton worthy of careful considera-
ton. The authors aim being to
explain in brief manner points
that benefit the public speaker, the
reader, or one entertaining small
audience composed of friends.
The points explained have been
set forth by authorities but our
fellow-member contributed more
practical benefit in ten-minute
talk than the average person might
derive from book on the subject.
For his valuable remarks the presi-
dent conveyed the circles senti-
ment by thanking Mr.. Ell.
The next paper was a strong,
virile, reasonable presentation of
the subject, dealing with the life
and works of prominent mon in
Norway. The authors ability,
both as speaker and writer, makes
my praiseworthy remarks seem
lacking in degree of praise which
is deserving.
The following paper was a con.
else arrangement of facts connected
with the transportation question
The authors familiarity with the
subject conduced toward an honest
impartial, treatise.
The next paper tended to show
how beneficial gas is in many ways.
1t was the members first paper to
be read before the society and
proved that his logical views and
literary abilities are equal to that
of the majority of us.
The concluding paper was a
gentle surprise. The title is some
what misleading in so far as the
subject matter dealt with such men
Grant, Lee, etc. However, the
author succeeded in convincing
the society that it is no hindrance
to success to fear an opponent il
we but pause to consider that the
opponent may also fear us. The
paper teemed with useful informa.
ton and was ably prepared and
forcefully delivered.
The critics report was very
favorable, and praise for the con.
tributions was we'll delivered. The
attitude of the speakers today was
noteworthy for correctness. The
arrangement of subject matter,
grammar and delivery were favor.
able commented upon. After the

petuated it to the great benefit Of
many members who have found it
an open door to a new and inter-
esting world of ideas. Current
questions are discussed, individ q lis

humorous members add their

confidence and under the friendly
advice of the critic make distinct

one, for two members Of the circle

gave a really fine exhibition of

In Three Weeks $4,000 Barrels o:

fires within the past three weeks have
destroyed millions Of dollars worth
of property in Kentucky, the loss Of
$4,000 barrels in the Tom Moore fire
at Bardstown Wednesday night bring
ing the total number that have fed
the flames recently up to 10000. In
detail this means that the visible sup
ply of whisky has decreased 100000
gallons, or more definitely speaking,
2SS,O0O0O0 drinks. At an average Of
$25 per barrel. the loss to the distiller
is $1,S00,0O0. The United States gov
eminent, however, comes in for still
heavier loss. The tax is at least twice
the value of the whisky, which would
make the loss to the government be-
tween 100000 and $4,O00,000. The
frequency of fires has caused some sus-
picion of incendiarism.

Interrogatories Filed in the Insurance
Trust Suit.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 21.-Attorney
General Fred S. Jackson filed in the
supreme court Friday the interroga-

tories are directed against rs of the
principal fire insurance companies do
ing business in Kansas and they are
required under oath to answer them.
There are A questions in all. The at
torney general is attempting to show
that all of the fire insurance COM
panies mentioned as defendants use
the Eldridge rating bureau of Topeka,
that all of them pay for the ratings
given and that they abide by them;
hence they belong to the alleged
trust. He asked for the increases
made in rates by each company dur
ing the past five years.
