weather has been so bad that it
was impossible for him to get
out in the country and he will
return at a later date. An al

During the past season while
Albert Law was running his

seems that a courtShip sprung
up between Law and Mrs. Frank
that ended in them getting a

by officers who had been notified
. of the runaway. Mr.. Frank
went to the Bend to see his

Mr.. Frank says that Law was
fined at the Bend and then left
for Wichita.

thing IS sure if the road is not
built, it won't cost those who
subscribe a cent and if it is built
and does not come through HOis-

estimable amount of damage so
1t is up to the people of our
town. If you are sure the road
will not be built it will not be
amiss to put your name down for
some of the bonds. If you think
the road will be built and have
any interest in the town you vii
make a mistake if you do not
take some of the bonds.

Stevenson and Dreams.

Robert Louis Stevenson owed much
Of his inspira ton to dreams. In one
passage he attributed some of his fin
est work to the brownies" who ten
aDted his brain during moments Of
Inconsistencies. The Strange Case
of Or Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" owes it's
origin to ii dream. II had long been
trying to write Il story on this SUBJ
ject" writes Stevenson. "to find a
body. Il vehicle. for that strong sense
Of mans double being which must at
tines come in upon and overwhelm
the mind of every thinking creature.
For two days | went about racking
my brains for plot of any sort.
and on the second night | dreamed
the scene at the window and scene
afterward split in two. in which Hyde.
pursued for some crime. took the pow
der and underwent the change in the
presence of his purSuers. All the rest
WAS made awake and consciously, al
though | think | can trace in much of
it the manner Of my brownies"

POWER PLANT CONTRACT LET
Will Cost in the Neighborhood
of S35O,OOO.
Material Now Going Forward.

The Sylvester Engineering Co., OIL
which +. NJ. Sylvester is the proprietor,
has been awarded the contract Tor the
construction of the power development
plant which will operate the Inland
Portland Cement Co. plant, to be built al
Metaline. on the, Pend Oreille river.
The plant will cost about $3OO,Ooo OF
$3.50 900, and will develop 10000 horse
power.
The power plant will develop the
mower of Sullivan creek and Sullivan
lake. 1t will be located at the conilu-
ence of the creek and the Pend Orellie
river inst above Metaline Falls. The
cement plant is to be located at the
same place.
A 4O-foot dam is to be built at the
ontlet Of Sullivan lake, in which enough
water will be stored to MAINTAIN an
average flow during the dry season sum
cient to develop 10000 morse power.
Three miles below the akeanother dam
will be built across Sullivan creek, ana
the water of the creek will be turned
into a large rectangular t1ume 6X9 ieet.
This will carry the water three miles
farther downstream and discharge 1t
into the power plant, where it Will take
a sheer drop of $50 feet. When this
water reaches the cups on the big water
wheel it will be travelling at the rate OF
100 miles minute so fast, in Tact, that
the entire volume of water coming down
the flume forces its way ont and into
the cups in the form of let less than
three inches in diameter.
Not all of the 10000 horse power to be
developed will be used by the cement
plant, and the surplus will be sold to the
mining companies in the Metaine dis
trict.
Mr.. Sylvester has already started a
crew of men to work making road to
Sullivan lake from the Pend Oreille
river. The power plant is to be COM
pleted in nine or ten months.
A shipment of a carload of machinery
consisting of two hosting engines ard
equipment arrived in Newport this
morning for Mr.. Sylvester, and will be
taken to lone to be RATED through the
Canyon. Another. carload is expected
to arrive tomorrow. Last week two
carloads Of horses were taken down to
be put to work on the job. They are
said to be the finest horses ever used in
this section.

Double Quick Composing.

Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote the over
tllrp to The Ieomen Of the Guard" in
weivp hours and that to "Ioanthe" in
less space OF lilne-from p. III. to Z
a. H. But even this capacity for speed
in composition is eclipsed by NJ. Bonn
pard. who for wager composed the
music to a song in ten minutes. Mr.. n.
Trotere. however. is the composer Of
whom most quick time anecdotes are
told. His beautiful song "AsthOre"
was both written and composed in
forty minutes in Blanchard's reStau-
rant The melody of In Old Madrid"
was the result Of Il sudden inspiration.
1t calne to the composer while on his
way home from the aquarium. Lest it
should escape him he rushed into
small public house in Rochester row,
seized Il biscuit bag and on it jotted
down the air But Mr. TrOtere holds
the char lpionship. 1t is said that he
actually composed The Brow Of the
Hill" wrote Il letter and ran 400 yards

Odd Names In China.

Chinese children are endowed with
strange Christian names. Their girls,
for Instance, are not called Mabel,
Jenny or Matilda. but Cloudy Moon
Celestial Happiness. Spring Peach or

work and wisdom rather than pleas

Man With the ConCndrunn.

Tie man with the fretful eyebrows
and the sorrowful ears comes to the
desk Of the man with the disp!rted
mustache and asks.
why is d man who goes On an ex-
pedition TO discover the south Dole
and after many months Of toll and pri-
walton during which he eats ali his
.anned goods and half of his dogs and
then returns to civilization with a
fixed appetite for boot heels and hat
brims-w why is he like woman who
has been waiting impatiently since
midnight for the sound of the latch
key as her husband endeavors to un-
lock the front door without awakening
the entire neighborhOOd:
The man with the discouraged mus
tache shakes his head impatiently, and
the other repeats the question. where
upon the man with the discourag ed
mustache asks:
What is the difference between
lady reading d hair restorer ad. and
man who asks fool questions when you
are busy: Answer-Because they are
both about ready to die
"Oh. very well!' shifts the man with
the fretful eyebrows and the SORROW
ful ears The answer to mine is that
both are getting ready to deliver a
lecture. but wouldn't tell you if you
pleaded with tears in your eyes"

Red Cheeks In Addison's Day.

1t seems that the beauty doctor" is
by no means modern invention. The
Atlantic cites an amusing ADVERTISE
ment to this effect printed in Addison's
Spectator:
The famous Bavarian Red Liquor:
Which gives such delightful, blush
ing Colour to the Cheeks Of those that
are White or Pale, that it is not to be
distinguished from a natural fine Com
plexion, nor perceived to be artificial
by the nearest Friend. Is nothing Of
Paint, or in the least hurtful, but good
in many Cases to be taken inwardly.
1t renders the Face delightfully."- hand
some and beautiful: is not subject to
be rubb'd off like Paint, therefore can
not be discovered by the nearest
Friend. 1t is certainly the best Beau
titier in the World. Is sold only at

The YaWs.

On the west coast of Africa the ma
tives call the raspberry yaw. 1t hap
pens that one of the pleasing diseases
that come out from that quarter of
the globe is characterized by dusky
red spots that appear on the body and
soon grow into ulcers about the size
and looks of the raspberry. So this
disease is called the yaws 1t is con-
tagious and downright disagreeable.
White sailors bring it back with them
to their own discomfort and the dis
gust Of those at home. Yaws prevails
also in the Fiji islands and in Samoa,
but in these two places children main
~ are attacked, and the natives re-
gard the disease in the same light as
civilized persons look at measles-al-
most a certainty to have and the soon
er over with the better.

RECOVERING HIS REASON.
Apparently Dsmentsd Man, at Council
Bluffs, Recalls Names.

Special to Times Republican.
Council Bluffs, Dec. 23.-G. NJ.
Youngbeck or Johnbeck, who was
picked up by the police one night dur
ing the latter part of November, while
in the act Of trying to enter a resi-
dence where he was not known. and
who the next day, on examination, was
found to be suffering from lapse of
memory, has recently shown indica-
tions of returning mind. He has been
detained at local hospital.
AT the time the young man was ar
rested he told disconnected story
the gist Of which was that he was el,
route to Fond du Lac. Wis. from
Denver, Colo, to attend the funeral of
his father. He could not, however. re-
member the name of his father nor
the names of other relatives. Since
being under treatment he has recalled
the name Of sister. Miss Title
Youngbeck, of Fond du Lac. Wis, and
that OF brother, John Youngbeck, OF
Binfort, N. ID.
Youngbeck also now says that his
home is in Fort Lupton. Colo, that he
owns half section of land there and
that his attorney is Albert Talbo,
Munson. of Denver. The local authori-
ties have written to the addresses OF
the parties named for the purpose OF
ascertaining the truth and with the
idea of locating the young man.
