Lack of a Nickel Cost Him
S1,500.

Trenton, N. THE lack of a nickel
to drop into a telephone slot and
obstinacy of an exchange girl cost
Oscar Niedt, once councilman of this
city, $500 when his barnswas de-
stroyed by fire.
Niedt's barn caught fire about 10
o'clock Thursday, and he FASTENED to
a telephone booth in the neighbor-
hood to summon fire engine. On
being told to drop nickeliiinto the
slot he discovered he had none.
He told the girl it was a case of life
and death, but she insisted that fire
headquarters could not be called up
without the proper charge being paid.
Niedt begged, pleaded, threatened
and tore his hair in vain.
The exchange girl refused to notify
the fire department, and in despair
he fled to another place, finally send
ing in an alarm. 1t was too late,
however, for when the fire engine
reached the place the barn and its
contents were in ashes.

Governor Johnson's Wife Was Not Told
the Identity of prominent Man."

Governor Johnson's Wife Was Not Told
the Identity of prominent Man."
From the St Paul Dispatch.
The relation Of women to politics is
a subject of disagreement between
Gov, John A. johnson and Mrs, John
son, but neither of them knows it yet.
A dispatch from Jackson, Mich,
announced that Governor Johnson,
who delivered a lecture there, said
during the course of his remarks: 81
hope to see the time when women
will Join with their husbands in po-
litical affairs. Where woman is, the
atmosphere is better, and politics
would be better with her refining in
flucncc."
a Dispatch reporter asked Mrs.
johnson what she thought of this re-
mark, but neglected to add that it had
been made by the Governor. She
was told that a prominent man" had
said it, so that her views would be
absolutely unbiased.
And this was her reply:
81 can't help it if a prominent man
did say so, ! don't believe in women
in politics. The place for woman is
at home; she can have a quiet influ-
ence over man, and the woman who
wants to do some good politically
should try for a voter rather than a
vote.
Governor Johnson and | do not
always agree on the subject, and we
have many discussions, but | have
not yet come to his way of thinking.
Surely the woman who has the right
influence over her husband does not
need a vote, for she can Undue him
with right ideas, snd he will listen to
her if he is the right kind of man.
II would like to know who the
prominent man is who says women
can purify politics with her refining
influence, but whoever he is do not
agree with him."
And Governor johnson is coming
home soon.

More Beer Drunk in Missouri
Than Ever.
st. Louis Republic.

St. Louis Republic.
Although more than eighty Missouri
counties are dry and the Sunday clos
ing laws are enforced more vigorous
ly than ever, the month of June, just
closed, shows greater consumption OF
beer than any corresponding month
since the creation of the office of Beer
Inspector, eight years ago.
The report of State Beer Inspector
Ernest Marshall will be received by
State Treasurer Cowgirl, with receipts
more than $1,000 larger than for any
month of June on record.
The receipts Of the office for the
last month were $43, 663.64. Only
SAL, 494. 20 was taken in during June
1904, the Worlds Fair year, when
there were more visitors in the State
than at any time in its history. No
June till now has equaled the receipts
of that one.
The only explanation is that more
beer is being consumed now than in
former years.
The office covers the entire State,
so the increase of population in st.
Louis would not change materially
the general result.
The wholesalers have done a big
business in dry counties, many con-
sumers buying beer by the barrel
and whisky and wine by the case,
where formerly they bought the
drinks as they wanted them. Wheth-
err this has had the effect of greater
consumption of beer has not been
determined. No check is kept on the
whisky and wine sold in Missouri, the
inspection being confined to beer.

The "Butternut" Uniforms.

Col. Dave Roache, who served in
the Confederate army under General
Sterling Price, says that the idea for
the new butternut suits of the United
States was taken from the Confeder-
ate troops. Col Roache says white
duck suits were issued to the troops
under General Price while in Arkan-
sas, and that many of the men found
it too much work to keep their uni
forms clean, so they gathered wal
nuts and butternuts and stained their
uniforms. AT first the uniforms caus-
ed derision and laughter, but it was
soon discovered that the scouts and
advance guards of the army could
move more freely and escape detec-
ton longer than if they wore regula-
ton gray suits. AS soon as this fact
became generally known almost all Of
the Confederate troops were issued
uniforms of this color. Now, after
more than forty years, the United
States has equipped its troops with
uniforms of almost a similar hue.

Those who follow old man Greeley's
advice about going west will find
conditions altogether different now
than when ''Go west young man"
was coined. Irrigated farming was
practically unheard Of then. 1t is all
they talk about in the West to-day.
IT'S no wonder when dams like the
Pathfinder in Wyoming are made
500 feet wide at the top, 2l5 feet
high, 100 feet thick at the base, and
sixteen feet thick at the crown. The
watering of nearly 100000 acres will
be possible from this reservoir.
Some time ago we declared that it
was our intention to make an applica-
ton of salt to some burdocks the next
time they were cut. | am informed
by one subscriber that salt will do no
good, but that little kerosene put
on each plant will absolutely kill it.
Another says that cutting the plants
off below the crown will absolutely
bring about their destruction. :
