Spend 100000 at GaIena.

Galena.-The Spring RivVr Power
company, the largest furnisher OF
electric power in the middle West,
has just announced it's intention OF
adding four million dollars worth of
improvements to the present holdings.
The new plan, including the forming
of new company to be known as the
Empire Electric, is to erect large
steam plant just north of the present
holdings which will generate twenty
thousand additional horsepower. This
amount will be four times as great
as that now turned out. The COM
pany, by purchase, has just come into
possession of a tract of land known
as the Rains property on which the
new plant is to be constructed in ad-
dition to the power plant which is to
be equipped with the latest and
heaviest Westinghouse material and
will construct a steel bridge between
Lowell and Riverton, which will cost
nearly fifty thousand dollars.

Blasting to Help Drainage.

Winfield.-A novel experiment in
aid of farming is being tried out on
the Northside farm, three miles from
this city, There are low places on
this farm where the subsoil Is a COM
pact gumbo that is impervious to wa
ter, and as a result water stands on
the surface so long after rains that
growing anything on the ground is al
most out of the question. The owners
of the farm, Franks, Page & Harris,
are now trying a new experiment to
get these low places to properly drain
so they can be cultivated. With
3-inch augur holes are being bored
in the gumbo six or eight feet deep,
stick of dynamite placed in them and
exploded. This loosens up the earth
and considerable cavity, which is
filled with broken rock, thus leaving
many interstices into which it is ex-
pected that the surplus water will soak
away. It is the first time the plan has
been tried in this part Of the country
and the experiment is being watched
with interest by others, who will
adopt the same method TO drain their
land II II proves a success.

Honey Bee in Girls Throat.

Fort Scott-Miss Carrie Wood, the
sixten-year old daughter of Mr.. Wood,
was the victim of a distressing acct
dent when she was stung by honey
bee on the inside of her throat. The
poison from the sting caused her
throat to swell Immediately, and by
the time she reached the office of a
physician she was unable to speak or
swallow.
The accident happened in a pecu-
liar manner. Cider making had been
in progress at the Wood farm and
some of the children had been drink
ing cider through an elder. straw. Miss
Wood started to take drink of cider
In that way and the bee, which had
crawled into the straw, was drawn
into her mouth. Before she realized
1t was there a pain in her throat told
of its undesirable presence.

MiIIers Make Protest.

Wichita.-Forty-two millers Of Kan
sas, Oklahoma and Texas attended
meeting of the Southern Kansas Mil
ler's Commercial club, which was he'd
here. They have decided that the
Minneapolis millers are trying to work
out a department ruling on the new
tariff bill to the detriment of the mil
lers of the Southwest. They say the
Minneapolis millers think they can
get an advantage if they can get the
secretary of the treasury to frame a
reduction which will permit them to
mix flour made from Canadian wheat
and flour made from Kansas wheat
and report 1t under the drawback pro-
vision. They point out that the Min
neapolis millers are working a cutter"
in the law which provides that import
ed goods may be manufactured in
bonded warehouses and any waste ma
terial or by-products thereof may be
sold for domestic consumption IL duty
on the waste material be paid Bran
and shorts are by-products of wheat
and the Kansas millers say the Min
neapolis millers are trying to get a
reduction which will permit them to
import Canadian wheat, grind it in
bonded warehouses and mix 1t with
flour made from Kansas wheat, sell
ing the bran and shorts in this coun-
try and exporting the mixed flour and
getting a rebate on the duty paid Or
iginally on the Canadian wheat, under
the drawback section.
The millers decided to hold a meet
ing in Newton on October %, at which
time all of the congressman of Kan
sas and the two senators will be re-
quested to be- present to consult con-
corning the matter. A similar meeting
will be held about the same time in
Oklahoma when the matter will be
placed before the congressional dele
cation from that state.
The southwestern millers believe
they have found clause in the law
which will stop the practice of the
Minneapolis millers and this will be
presented to the congressional dele
cations.

Identification.

CHILDREN SHOWED 1T
Effect Of Their Warm Drink In the
Morning.

A year ago l was a wreck from
coffee drinking and was on the point
of giving up my position in the school
room because of nervousness.
81 was telling friend about it and
she said, we drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such a
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind OF
coffee. but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be fact.
MY first trial was a failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
1t tasted so fiat that l was in despair
but determined to give 1t one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-
lions and boiled it fifteen minutes aft
er the boiling began. 1t was decided
success and l was completely won by
its rich delicious favour. In a short
time l noticed a decided improvement
in my condition and kept growing bet
ter month after month. until now am
perfectly healthy. and do my work

Another Pc nsiOn List.
(From Collier)

In the important countries Of
Europe it is now a recognized func-
zion of the State to meet certain kind
Of expenditure quite unfamiliar on this
side of the water. Each of the lead
ing governments over there pays out
large sums of money every year to
members of the laboring class Some
times the laboring people contribute,
sometimes their employers, the amount
being settled by the State. This in
surance is aga inst old age, unemploy-
ment. sickness, or accidents, and it
may take the form ofan annuity or
single sum. In some countries it is
compulsory. in others voluntary. Eng
lands Chancellor of the Exchequer
must raise about S43 600, 600 this year
for the purposes. and the Finance Min
istry of France is confronted with the
probability of having to produce $685.
900, 600. How soon will State lnsur-
ance be discussed as national ques-
tion of the day in the United States
Viewing the size of our population, our
wage scale, our standard of living, and
our fashions of lavish liberality, we are
likely to find this proposal meaning
here as much as our other pension list
of $3.50. 600, 900. The most promising
barrier against it is the Massachus etts
system of savings bank insurance, and
it is deep satisfaction, therefore, to
find that system becoming more sue
cessfulIy established every month.
