Human thought moves in cycles, hut
who would ever imagine that modern
human invention could be discounted
in this twentieth century and invidious-
~ compared with the Old Fashioned
custom OF a hundred ana fifty years
ago? This was the practical result OF
4 discussion at the meeting OF the
Illuminating Engineering society held
Ia the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago,
last month. Oculists whom the go
ciety had invited to be present de-
clared unanimously that the methods
Of illumination employed today were
inferior to those employed by our
great-great grandparents In so far as
their effect on the eyes Is concerned.
In a review Of DE matter DR.. FL. Fl.
Seabrook Of New York wrote: Our
country leads the world apparently in
the brillianey OF its artificial iIlumina-
tion and certainly leads the world in
ocular exhaustion, discomfort and con-
gestion. Both here ana abroad ocu-
lists agree that the Kerosene burner
Is the least harmful artificial IIuni-

In explanation of the action OF the
incandescent lamp on the eye Or.
George #. suker stated: THE intense
light Of the tllament acting on the
retina sets up a low grade OF inaam-
nation, which, though it comes on slow

fies all efforts to cure 1t. We have so
much light that overexhaustion results
and the eye cannot recuperate.

FIRST FIRE LOSS.

A bad confiagration was mar
rowly averted Saturday night
late, when the small building
occupied by Howard & Hartman
as a butcher shop was reduced to
ashes.
The building was discovered
af1ame about II o'clock and upon
the alarm given by. Deputy Carey
there was soon a number of citi-
zens on hand to do what could be
done; ;both machines were brought
up and by their aid an effort was
made to save the adjoining main
building of the Fullerton Lumber
Company. But this must needs
have been but of feeble power,
had it not been that a strong
southeast wind blowing at that
time assisted the work and blew
the flames in direction where
they could do no harm. But for
this fortunate circumstance the
business part of the town would
have doubtless suffered heavily.
The building burned was one Of
the first structures of 'old Lem
mon, having originally been
built by A. T. Thompson for
saloon purposes. The property
VISA insured.

light my pipe. Now you may believe
me or not, but when | looked up'again

least fifty feet high and going up at the
rate of a department store elevator,
soon getting out OF my Slght alto
gether. The corn around me by this
time was cracking from the fast growth
until it sounded like a forest fire.

boy again. | sorrowfully turned my
steps homeward. Tossing on my pill

and were it not for the fact that the

of the would-be citizens who have lived
in this country from six to ten wears
have no more idea Of the real mean
ing of citizenship to the United States

this country. Some applicants think
that all that is necessary is to walk up

think it funny that not knowing who

is, what the capital and who the gov

WARN WELCOME.

Monday it was whispered about
that J. K, Clark, who had made
a trip of some ten days east, was
about to return to Lennon. And
straightways the story went
abroad that his mission east must
have been for the purpose OF
securing a life partner, and it be-
hooved his friends to share, in a
measure at least, the joys incident
to Jim's nuptials.
And SO it came that about train
time in the afternoon up marched
the band, and escorted by it, Miss
frankie Bonzer, beautifully at
tired in all the dainty lingerie so
dear to feminine hearts Miss
Bonzer, Jim's erstWhile flame,
who by thus showing up at the
threshold to Lennon hoped to
reduce the fractions Jim once
more to bondage in her charms
and possibly tear him away for.
ever from any hated rival that
might appear.
Well, there was a fierce ano
dramatic fanfare and outburst OF
clarion tones by the band wher
the Westbound steamed in, in.
creasing in volume if not in har-
mony, as singly and alone the
graceful form of j. K. was seen
to alight from the cars. With a
heartrending "Ach Louwee'
Miss Bonzer rushed forth and
threw herself, accompanied by all
her lingerie, upon the overjoyed
Jim and pressed him again and
to her passionate breast, while
onlookers were moved to copious
tears by such rare display of love
and devotion Then she led him
to the cab there was a shower of
rice and some more music and jim
was carted off in triumph to the
nuptial feast.

Just though the cause OF county
division may be, or rather is,
which Lennon and its many
friends are defending, local and
personal interests throughout the
greater part of Butte county have
succeeded in stirring up quite a
sentiment against division at the
present time. It's the old story:
A good things a good thing only
when it's as good a thing to you
as it IS to me.
Reeder. the gate of the south
west corner of Adams county is
preparing strenuously for the lot
sale Of its townsite, which is to
take place on Thursday, May 14th.
Reeder is one of the promising
little cities along the Milwaukee,
and just far enough apart from
Hettinger and Bowman to have a
future of it's own.
Jacob L. HORT, of Reeder, who
sometime ago, upon the urgent
request of the many friends who
take pride in him out there, enter
ed upon the race for official honors
as candidate for register of deeds
of Adams county, has decided to
do the wise thing and draw out of
the contest. Mr.. Hjort's private
interests are developing. and even
if successful, his entrance upon
the duties the position entails,
would demand of him a heavy
sacrifice. Public office in a new
and comparatively poor county,
where salaries are down to the
lowest limit is by no means the
desirable sinecure which so many
imagine, and hardly an occupant
but could do better privately. In
this connection be it said, and
gladly do we say it, that Mr..
HJort's opponent, Otto jacobson,
who holds the Office Of register of
deeds by appointment, is a
splendid servant to the public, de-
voting his every attention to the
proper fulfilment of his duties.
II attention to duty and fitness
by training count for aught. he
deserves unanimous reelection.
The Palace Hotel is doing itself
proud, not to speak of the fine
effect generally upon Main street,
in having a fine colonnade built
over the sidewalk in front of its
spacious building. Underneath
this have been placed a number
OF comfortable settees, inviting
repose. Messrs. Schaal, Gett-
man Bros. and Rodenbour certain
ly know how to do the graceful
thing and they do do it, every
time.
A phrenologist, Prof. G. Cozens
gave an open air exhibition and
lecture on Main street on Wednes-
day evening, which was quite
appreciated by those who were
intelligent enough. Others were
not up to that mark and insisted
on making life a burden to the
lecturer, with the result that he
found it to his interest to discon-
tinue here. Surely not very
high recommendation for our little
city, when it allows hoodlum ele-
ment to disturb the peace as
openly as that,
