WOMAN FOUNDER IN WISCONSIN.
Mrs. j. H. Peters Said to Be the Only
MachiniSt of Her Sex.

Rice Lake, Wis, Oct. 12.-Mrs. j.
H. Peters, of this place. is the only
woman iron founder and machinist
in the county, besides being clever
cook, a pleasing singer and fair
performer on the piano.
Mrs. Peters can cast or mould
anything that comes to hand, carry
ing the sizzling hot metal and doing
her own pouring. She also handles
brass castings, melting and pouring
the metal herself.
She can run a hand saw and keep
it in order, and she can even make
her own patterns from the blue prints
as they come from the hands of the
draughtsmen.
In an engine room she can fire the
boilers, keep up the proper amount
of steam and water and run the en-
gine. Not only that, she can take
the engine apart and put it together
again.
1t is the work in the machine shop
however, that attracts this remark
able woman most, and she likes such
difficult jobs as "keysetting a coup,
ling" threading piece of steel
and making a shrinking fit.'
And yet she is not spoiled for
housekeeper, nor has her experiences
as a machinist detracted from the
feminine side of her nature. She has
a good education, her conversation is
intelligent and entertaining, and, be-
sides being cook of no mean ability
she sings and plays.
Mrs. Peters picked up her trade
when frequenting her husbands
shop, where she watched the me1
operate the machines until she had
gained sufficient courage to undertake
it herself.

Heavy Corn Yields.

It is said that Mr.. E. R. Hipp, OF
Newberry county, produced SO bush
els of corn per acre on 10 acres OF
land, while neighbor, Mr.. R. c.
Neil, raised so bushels per acre on a
tract of similar size.
This year is likely to prove rec
ord breaker for South Carolina in the
matter of corn production. Heavy
yields are daily reported from various
sections. The cultivation Of corn has
been greatly stimulated and methods
have been much improved as a result
of the several corn-growing contests
that have been conducted in recent
years.

GRAY MATTER IN CAR LOAD LOTS

If it be true that he needs ten
ounces of gray matter, Billiam's

need to operate more than at least
one car each week day. to supply

EXPLANATION
A POEM nv VyOOD RE-

A POEM BY WOOD BEE
There was a poor roach
Who had troubles galore.
The chiefest of these
He was swept from the door
Of the Courier office
In Kennewick town,
Where, in a very short time
He had won some renown.~
He hunted and burrowed
To find a new home
Till nearly despairing
He started to roam.
In vain he tried windows
! And doors without number,
But hurried past Lundy's
Who talked of up Yonder."
Crossing Yakima street.
He continued his saunter.
Found a feast of toast spread
BY the Twin City Reporter
Being hungry and cold
He crawled through a crack
And beheld on the floor
Hot air" by the sack.
But of such as he found
He quick became weary
For the taste and the sound
Made him thoroughly leery
The 'boosting'' and "boasting''
And minor sensations
For roach's digestion
Were very poor rations.
He noticed light,
1t came from the window.
Climbing cautiously up
He beheld in great splendor
All spread out before him
Hot Points" without number.
Being use to the stuff
That will satisfy hunger
He decided 'twere madness
To hesitate longer
But try as he mi,ht
I, He gnawed till he sorrowed
He found the Reporters
] Hot Points, were all borrowed.
: Turning slowly away
J.. He munched toast and he reason,

Water and Light Company when
the first franchise was granted.

the first franchise was granted.
S. M. Lockerby thot Judge Rich
ardson's talk ro1natic in spots but
a franchise for road to the dock
brought up in the proper manner
and at proper time was worthy of
consideration, but to go farther and
grant streets for passenger traffic
was ridiculous. ''The audacity of
the proposition almost challenges
my aomiration", said he, and cons
cluded by approving the live public
sentiment which was finding e.
preston at meeting set by the
Council.
M. H. Church of the Twin City
Ice & Cold Storage Co., favored a
street carline if the promoters can
do anything.
w. G. King followed with his
opinion favorable to the dock line
but failing to see the necessity for
further franchise at the present and
thot future council could grant such
privileges as the necessities of the
case demanded at the time. Judge
Staser, F. A. Swingle, A. H. Rich
ards Jos. Gerards and others spoke
in the same vein. No speaker of
the evening, not even the petition
ers, with the possible exception of
C. A. Lundy, favored the original
franchise, but agreement was prac-
tically reached as to the desirabilitv
of the dock line. Yet the question
of forfeiture bond, the fixing of
compensation to the city, the length
of time the franchise should run,
and the period of construction were
not settled and agreement on these
points should be reached by further
public discussion. .
Funny situations arose at differ
ent times in the evening program.
One of these was when Mr.. En-
mons wanted to ask Mr.. Sheppard
if he didn't think if people were
foolish enough to put their money
in a proposition, they ought to be
allowed to do it? "Oh, we have to
appoint guardians for some people,
responded Mr.. Sheppard.
Tom McKain was called on as
the sixth councilman and said it
seemed to him there was nothing
really before the Council as the pc
titioners had prepared an ordinance
asking for one thing and in the
meeting had talked about an entire
ly different thing. If they man.
aged their railroad in the same
business like way they asked for
the franchise it would certainly be
a dandy.'
Another time Brother Lundy re-
marked that he did not expect tc
enjoy the pleasures, for he was an
old man, but he would look down
and see you fellows riding free or
the street cars" Whereon San
tLockerby opined that "Cy probably
couldn't see us for the smoke. y
Brother George then endeavored tt
come to the rescue of Uncle Cyrus
by saying that Mr.. Lockerby die
not state whether Lundy or th'
riders were in the smoke. Thi
raises the question whether tn
street car line is going to be bull
in Kennewick or in ---.

WHISKY NOT SACRED.
Birmingham News.I

Houses in Alabama-and in every
other state in the union-have been
searched time and time again for men
suspected of crime; for murderers, for
thieves. for highwaymen and for every
other class of suspects, and not word
has been said about it or voice raised
in protest. 1t has been well recognized
that the good of society as whole de.
mands that violators be apprehended
at any cost and society has wisely pro.
vided laws under which it is impossi.
BILE for the criminal to evade capture
by seeking refuge in his home. Indeed,
it would be most remarkable state of
affairs II the contrary were true; If it
were possible for anyone committing a
crime against society to escape merely
by seeking refuge beneath the roof of
his dwelling
The justice, wisdom and propriety
of this we'll established rule was never
seriously questioned until the toes of
the whisky interests were stepped
upon. It is all right-eminently proper
to go into the home for the slayer or
the embezzler or the robber, but when
the same course Is followed with ref
erence to another class, then a mighty
howl goes up from the whisky people
and from the newspapers whose col
umns have been devoted to fighting
the battles of the whisky interests.
This remarkable state of affairs nat
urally suggests that there is theory
abroad that whisky is more sacred
than property and life and more i'm
portant than public safety. Such the
DRY is so far from the truth--so far
from the theory upon which American
institutions are founded-that it is
surprising TO find any individual or
newspaper fostering it. 1t does not
harmonic with the popular theory OF
equal justice to all, which is the basis
of all law.
To say that the innocent have suf-
fered by reason of the effort to reach
the guilty, is to repeat what has been
true since the dawn of civilization. Yet
this has never been seriously consid-
cred as reasonable ground for abol-

ishing the law and returning to the
barbarous principle of every man for
himself. 1t is well recognized that the
law under which one innocent person
suffers occasionally, is designed for
the protection of the whole race. Yet
martyrs to the law are few, while it's
beneficiaries, like the sands of the
seas are innumerable
The effort to divert attention from
the main issue in this campaign
whisky or no whisky-by attempting
to create the impression that the
homes of Alabama are threatened by
the officers Of the law, will be as
empty of results as the proverbial last
years birds nest. The people of Ala
bama know by bitter experience that
the greatest enemy of the home is the
saloon and they are not going to lose
sight Of the fact that this fight is a
despei 'te struggle on the part of the
whisky people to return TO Alabama
and again resume their works of de-
