known name than that of Mr.. Harrison

thenic exercises to music, a pretty and
most interesting sight
Artillery drill followed, with thunders of
big guns and a bank OF drifting smoke
real enough to serve for a war picture.
Then came a rescue race, for the first
time during this tournament In this two
groups representing the Seventh and Fiji
teenth are placed at a considerable dis
lance apart. Firing begins, and the horses
of one group are killed. Then the men of
the other regiment dash to the rescue, and
with the horses on the run the disnIounted
men spring up behind their rescuers and
are thus safely taken out of danger. The
sight thus presented Is sensational and
stirring.
The other events of the afternoon were
exhibitions by the machine gun platoon OF
the Thirteenth, the monkey drill by bare
back riders from the Fifteenth, and the
mammoth, noisy presentment of a real
battlefield scene by the engineers and in
fantry at the start, all branches finally
taking strenuous part This event never
fails to bring the crowd up standing, with
every nerve tingling.
Dress parade by the Fourth infantry
closed the days program.

NO BIDS FOR WATER BONDS
Water Board offers Its Bonds, but
Finds NO Takers at Four
Per Cent.

Tightness OF chr money market seems TO
have prevented the disposal of the bonds
issued by the Water board for s6,5o0,oc0 and
the time for receiving bids has expired. 1t
has been known for a long time that there
would be cogsderable difficulty in dispos-
Ing OF the issue at the 4 per cent interest

inevitable.
II new beg9ds are Issued II lie likely that
the rate OF interest will not i've the only
thing changed, as since the decision Of the
federal court recently MADE the amount
necessary 20 get the water works is about
100000 more for interest on the purchase

tract TO buy SSa made.
Members OF the Water beard will not
announce whether they intend 10 provide
for the added amount with e larger issue.
Raising the interest TO make the bonds
more attractive will probably be absolutely
necessary.

ARTHUR MULLEN IN TOWN
Man Who Put over Twenty-Seven
Bills, All of which Failed
to Make Good.

State OIL Inspector Arthur Mullen is here
He will be recalled as the only and original
adviser to the late democratic legislature,
and author of twenty-seven bills, all of
which got through and none Of which have
been sustained by the courts, with the
possible exception Of one. OF course, all
of them have not yet reached the courts
and in justice to the state oil inspector 1t
should be said that many of the measures
were changed after being introduced. Mr..
Mullen is here on the same old business
He is talking politics and working politics
He is at the democratic state headquarters
and spends most of his time in the private
room mixing up the medicine. He is still
a democrat even If he win lose his present

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED
Florence Wilson Likely to Die a.
Result of Gasoline Ex-
pIOsiOn.

Florence Wilson, aged "a, a eoiored
woman who lives in the Strawberry flats,
was probably fatally burned by the ex-
plosion Of a gasoline stove last night. She
wanted to heat water for washing and ap-
piled a match TO the stove when the ex-
plosion followed. People living nearby ex-
tinguished the flames. The woman is Sc
verely scorched on the body from the
waist up. Her hands and face are also

So keen has become the interest in the

naturally fallen into the habit of taking

fully realized in the great crowd that filled

at least save cents per bushel In freight
charges to the Gulf. In Iowa and the Da-
raised in the counties lying next to the
river and il only cents per bushels were
saved on one-third of this, 1t would net

leave $4,000 over.
Mr.. Fox is in Omaha now awakening in
terest in the matter, so that all of the
large commercial centers along the Mis-
souri, river may put up united front in
asking congress to adopt this great work
at the coming session, just as the Ohio
and upper Mississippi projects were adopted
at the last session. That will mean that
the a420OO.OOO needed out here will be pro-
vided and expended during the next ten
years and the work completed to Sioux
City in a permanent manner.
River Commerce Increases.
Commerce by water on the inland water
ways OF Europe has been increasing con-
stantly since 1870 and now more than 80
per cent OF the freight carried ia France,
Germany. Austria and Belgium goes by
water at about one-third the cost required

1T is needless to say" says Mr.. Fox,

Heat of the Kansas sun seems to
have caused Speaker Cannon to become
mixed in his arguments. He tells the
Ka1lsans that a high tariff is the best
thing that ever happened. This he fol-
lows with the statement that the pres
ent tariff is low, lower than the much
denounced Wilson law. The present
law is the best that ever blossomed,
because it brings in more money.
Then comes his climax in the state
ment that 1000 freight cars which
were idle when the Dingley high tariff
was in effect, are now busy. Since
the present tariff is low and brings in
lots of revenue, it follows that lots of
paper made" goods are pc uring into
the country, making business for those
200, 900 cars. Puzzle find Cannon s
attitude on the tariff.

BUILDING SAM
TARY HOMES

One of the most encouraging signs of
success in work of the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association for the pre-
ventiOn of consumption is the wide
adoption of the new idea in residence
construction Hundreds of homes built
in Wisconsin this year make ample pro-
vision for open-air sleeping, the foe not
only of consumption but of many dis
eases that result from close confine-
ment, bad air, ill-ventilated chambers
and lack of sunlight.
Architects and builders have recog-
nized the demand of the day for dwell
ings which will not shut out pure. fresh
air and will admit plenty of sunlight.
The number and area of porches has
increased in response to the demand for
sleeping quarters that make for health.
Perhaps at no time in the history of
civilization has so much attention been
paid to the general sanitary features of
the home. ''Were all these things done
simply and exclusively for the benefit
of the tuberculous, or those who are
pre-disposed, or those who wish to
keep consumption far from themselves,
they would be of incalculable value,
but while doing this, they strike at
prac tically every disease that mankind
is heir to, again proving that the anti
tuberculosis crusade is the greatest
boon to the general health of the gen
eralhealth of the general public, says a
bulletin issued by the state society.
For at the same time the root of
the tuberculosis evil is being struck at,
preachments of sane, sanitary living
apply to all other diseases. 1t is truly
said, therefore, that the anti-tuber-
culosis crusade, by influencing effort
for the prevention of other diseases
and conditions inimical to health; max
ing for marked uplift in living and
working conditions of the masses,
and proclaiming the gospel of fresh air
and right living, is rendering to the
world greater service than the most
important movement of the ages.

Fig. 1.

An arrow when fired tends to go
straight because that is the easiest
path. It's point pushes the air apart
in front and it slips through easily be-
cause of the least possible friction
against the air Try to throw 1T side
ways and it quickly falls to the
ground. An arrow without wings
fails to go perfectly straight because
every little irregularity in its surface
catches the air and pushes it out OF
q straight line. Our card experiment
clearly shows that an arrow can be
steered in any direction by means OF
a rudder. The tilted card acts as
plane presented to the air and causes
the arrow to slide or slip one SIDE,
because that is now the easiest direc-
ton. In other words it steers the ar
row. If we placed strip of card
board on each side of the arrow and
parallel to it's length we would have
a true rudder set at straight ahead"
and the arrow would go straight.

Two years ago the News Budget sup
ported j. w. Carow for the office of
District Attorney of Rusk county. He
was defeated by the votes of the ma
jority, but during that two years we
have become more convinced than ever
that Mr.. Carow is the best man availa-
BILE for the position. He is a man of
principle and absolutely fearless in
standing up for what he believes to be
right. The taxpayers of the county
have become better acquainted with
Mr.. Carow and what he stands for and
we are confident that they will give him
a majority over both his rivals in the
primary.
