Indiana $29,24O,O0O.
The higher court orders that the
case ibe given a rehearing and re-

The decision is scathing in it's ar

that he imposed the fine on the cor

When Judge Lands rendered the
decision nearly year ago, assessing
the greatest fine ever known in juris-
prudence, it was the sensation of the
day. The case was based on alleged

Great Shock to Government
Lands assessed the highest posi-
BILE fine in each separate alleged Of
Tense, making the enormous total of

came as great shock to the govern

GUMS BIG
NEW PLANT
NOW GRINDING OUT POWER FOR
THE CITY.-HAS CAPACITY OF
800 HORSEPOWER.

Few people in Wenatchee who
have not made a trip to the new
power plant of the Wenatchee Elec-
trio company located on Columbia
street a short distance from the
World office, have any conception of
the work that has been done and the
big machinery that has been INSTALL
ed within the past few months.
The big new gas producer engine
is now running smoothly, and is fur
lnishingpower as follows:
Wenatchee Milling Company, so
/ to 60 horsepower.
Beal Grain & Milling Co., 12O
horsepower.
Wenatchee Canning Company, 60
horsepower.
City Pumping plant, SO horse
power, also to numerous other small
plants in the city.
The hydraulic plant on the Squil-
chuck has capacity of 800 horse
power. The hydraulic plant and the
gas producer together therefore have
capacity of $50 horsepower.
Some Heavy Machinery.
On entering the plant in the city
one is impressed by the heavy ma
chinery which has been installed
there. The fly-wheel alone is eight
feet in diameter, thirty-four inches
wide AMI has a weight of $4,000
pounds.
The Power Supply.
Asked as to the present and future
supply of power for the city, Arthur
Gum said: cat the present time we
have enough power for about double
the present demand. This will be
enough to take care of the business
for one year The capacity of the
gas producer plant can be doubled
by adding another unit. The plant is
built so as to permit this to be done
without any difficulty. We expect to
take care of the demand for electric
power in the city as the city in
creases.

Rotation of Crops.

It seems that every force In nature h trying ts compel the farmer to prac- tice q rotation of crops. If corn is grown for several years on the same plat, the land will be infected with all manner of insects, from the root worm and louse to the insect that eats the tassel. The farmer who grows wheat year after year on the same plat of ground has the Hessan fly and the chinch bug to contend with; cotton planter and tobacco planter have each Insects to fight and fungous diseases to overcome because one crop has been grown continuously for a number of years on the same plat If rotation Is practiced these insects and diseases may be held in check. If rotation is not followed no remedy will destroy or overcome them.-Southern Cultivator.

A CLEVER RUSE.

The Way of an Ingenious Paris Mer-
 chant Saved Cable Tolls.
 A wealthy merchant In Paris who does an extensive business with Japan was informed that a prominent firm in Yokohama had failed, but the name of the firm he could not learn. He could have learned the truth by cabling but, to save expense, instead he went to we'll known banker who had received the news and requested him to reveal the name of the firm.
 That's a very delicate thing to do," replied the banker, flor the news Is not official, and If give you the name I might Incur some responsibility
 The merchant argued, but in vain, and finally he made this proposition:
 q will give you," he said, "a list of ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask you to look through 1t and then tell me, without mentioning any name, whether or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in It Surely you will do that for mel"
 Yes" said the banker, flor if do not mention any name I cannot De held responsible in any way"
 The list was made. The banker look ed through 1t and as he handed 1t back to the merchant said: "Ths name of the merchant who has failed Is there"
 'Then I've lost heavily" replied the merchant, flor that Is the firm with which did business" showing him 8 name on the list
 But how do you know that Is the firm which has failed" asked the banker in surprise.
 Very easily" replied the merchant. "Of the ten names on the list only one is genuine-that of the firm with which did business. All the others are fic. tttious"

STRANGE DIHES

Lion's Flesh, Tigers Meat and
 Baked Elephants Foot.
 Lions flesh is said to furnish a very good meal. Tiger meat Is not 30 pal atable. for 1t is tough and sinewy. In India nevertheless 1t Is esteemed, be- cause there Is a superstition that 1t i'm parts to the eater some of the strength and cunning that characterizes the an final. This notion Is not, of course, held by the followers of Brahma and Buddha, whose religion forbds tho eating of flesh.
 There appears to be considerable diff ference of opinion among authorities on the subject as to the merits of ele- plants flesh as an article of diet By some 1t is considered a dainty. But there is the authority of at least one European against 1t. Stanley said that he frequently tasted elephants flesh and that 1t was more like soft leather and glue than anything else with which be could compare 1t. Another explorer, however, declares that he course and heavy as the elephant could produce such delicate and tender flesh. All authorities agree in commenting the elephants foot. Even Stanley ad- mitted that baked elephants foot was a dish fit for a king. It Is the great est dehcacy that can be given to Kaff1r-st Louis Republic.

Explosion by Music.

One of the most dangerous of all ed- plosiyes Is a black powder called iodide of nitrogen. When 1t Is dry the slightest touch will often cause It to explode with great violence. There appears to be certain rate of vibra. ton which this compound cannot re- sist In experiments to determine the cause of its extreme e1plosiveness some damp iodide of nitrogen was rubbed on the strings of a baS viol. It is known that the strings of such an instrument will vibrats when those ot 6 similar instrument having an equal tension are played upon. In this case, after the explosive had be- come thoroughly dry upon the strings, another bass viol was brought near and the strings sounded. At a cer- tain note the iodide of nitrogen on the prepared instrument exploded. It was found that the explosion occurred only when a rate of vibration of sixty . second was communicated to the pre- pared strings. Vibration of the G string caused an explosion, while that of the E string had DO enect-Chi. caso Record Herald.

TO ONE BENT UPON FARMING.

What to Do When It h Planned to
 Go Into Agriculture.
 Within the last few years the possi- bilities of making money from the land has begun to impress itself on those who have watched the steady upward trend of prices of foodstuffs, and peo- pie are beginning to inquire for books and literature pertaining to farming, trucking and poultry raising, says the New York Post.
 Before starting out to look for a home in the country decide what branch of farming Is to be followed, whether dairying. poultry raising, fruit growing, market gardening, etc, for the particu- lar branch that is to be followed will. in large measure, determine the To- cation.
 To put all your eggs in one basket Is very risky, especially If you don't know anything about the basket. Many men, whose judgment in business mat ters has always been conservative, have gone to the country and have sunk all their capital at once into a business of which they knew absolutely nothing. Visit the homes of successful farmers and you will find that % per cent of them either began In small way or In New Jersey there is a man who started few years ago with a small flock of fowls. In 1904 he had S14,OOO invested in his plant and, after deduct ing 10 per cent for depreciation and 5 per cent for interest, cleared $7,OOO. To start poultry plant requires less capi- tai than any other line of farming $1OO being enough to make a good start for a beginner.
 The market garden business requires a comparatively small amount of land, but 1t must be good land. To start with a small forcing house, 20 by 60 feet, will require capital of $1,5OO exclusive of rent. A 10 per cent re- turn on the investment is considered a good average. The fruit industry has grown tremendously within the last few years and offers Inducements to the in- vestor. To plant and equip a twenty acre fruit farm will take from S2,OOO to $3,5OO, exclusive of rent and labor.
 To a man of modest means dairying is out of the question. To establish an up-to-date dairy, carrying 100 sows will require from S10,OOO to s2O,OOO In addition to labor, and in dairying the labor bill Is big item.
 Nothing has been said of the charm and pleasures such a life has to offer. as compared to the life In the city, for here again comes in the queston of To- cation. In the south the social ele- ment is much more in evidence than in the north. due In no small measure to climatic conditions. Not far from Washington, D. C., there is a delightful community of cosmopolitan men and women whose chief source of income Is made In raising hay and horses The rule of eight hours work is rigid iy adhered to, and time Is found for riding, dancing and all those things that go to make the life there 90 at- tractive.
 This social side of rural life is i'm portant, especially for town dwellers, and should be considered first In choos- ing location. Perhaps this may seem
