over the bottom of flatiron, will keep
it smooth and insure its gliding over the
clothes readily, especially if they are
starched ones. If seams are pressed over
a broomstick or any rounded edge, care
being taken to keep them straight, there
will be no shining streak to mark their
length, as is often the case when the
pressing is done upon a fat surface, for
nothing can strike the wood but the
point Of the seam.

To Have Fruit Display.

Fruits of all kinds grown in Ohio,
Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky
will form an interesting portion of the
exhibit in the horticultural depart
ment of the Ohio Valley Exposition,
which will be held in Cincinnati from
August 29 to September "a. These
fruits will be of special interest to the
buyers from the north, middle west
and far west, who will attend the ex-
hibition. Fruit growers in these states
are making extra preparations to have
a good representation in this exhibi-
tion. Already fruits are being sent to
Cincinnati to be put in cold storage
and kept there until the exhibition is
ready to receive them. This opens a
new market for great many fruits
raised in the south and especially
along the lines of the Norfolk &
Western.

Citizens Want Harmon to Act.

The contested question whether
the governor has any power under
existing statutes to remove a mayor
is to be fought to finish in the case
of Mayor A. H. Gorrell of GAINESVILLE.
A petition signed by Charles Dowd
and S65 other residents of GAINESVILLE
was filed with Governor Harmon ask
ing for the removal of Mayor Gorrell.
With the filing of the petition, the
governor was informed that unless
he acted, the matter would be taken
into the courts and an effort made to
mandamus him to remove the mayor.
The statute under which the charges
are brought was re-enacted under the
codification Of laws. When Governor
Herrick was threatened with trouble
in the same manner, Attorney Gen.
eral Ellis rendered an opinion by re-
quest. The opinion set forth that
the law was not explicit, and it was
beyond the power of the governor to
remove mayor. The charge was
made that the opinion was rendered
to keep the governor out of hole"
The charges against Mayor Gorrell
are the outcome of long series OF
crimes of violence in connection with
the wet" and dry agitation in
Muskingum county. The mayor is
charged with misconduct in Office and
gross neglect of official duty.

On account of the enormous traffic
that is developing on the lines of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad the officials
of the company are figuring on the
purchase of 500 additional box and
coal cars, this latest order for the new
equipment amounting to about $7,000,-
900. The decision of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad to purchase this equip
ment is in keeping with the assertion
of President Willard, ito provide every
facility for moving the traffic on the
Baltimore G Ohio system" 1t is not
likely that any new financing will be
necessary to meet the cost of the new
cars, as the recent note issue of the
company was sufficient to pay for all
equipment purchased this year.

lie, Modoc chiefs, and their following
resented the attempt which was made
to get them to leave land on which
their tribe had dwelt for years.
Peace commissioners were sent to
treat with the Indians, one of the
members of the commission being Gen.
eral Candy. Captain Jack asked for
parley with the commission and the re-
quest was granted. AS soon as Cen
eral Candy and his fellow commission
members met the Indians Jack and his
followers opened fire and killed every
member of the peace party.
The Modocs then took to the lava
beds of the northwest and 1t was found
to be impossible to dislodge them by
means of direct assault. The troops
engaged against the Indians at the
first were cavalrymen, and all their OPP
erations had to be conducted dis
mounted.
A battery of the Fourth artillery, to
which Lieutenant Howe was attached,
was sent to the front and the she'll
ing of the Indians position was begun.
1t took long time to dislodge them.

Brigadier General Howe entered the

cadet during the civil war. 1t was only
few years after he was graduated
that the light battery to which he was
attached was sent to the plains coun.
try and thence to Oregon.
After the Modoc war was over It
became the practise to attach light
batteries to expeditionary forces In

had taken to the warpath because of
the invasion of their country by the
whites.

as one of the most proficient students

He was graduated from the artillery
