They Ought to Know.

Danish booze and the walls Of this
institution can be used for road
building. In few years the corrid-
ors will echo with the solemn tread
Of lonely hundred malefactors and
the state prison will be counted q
dismal financial failure. The bug
houses will be turned into butter fac
tories and the reformatories into
schools for the masses. Ten thou
sand citizens now wasting their lives
selling lightning liquid will go to pro-
ducing honest wealth and the COM
merce Of the State will double. If
beans brought as much damnation as
booze any man foolhardy enough to
raise beans would be strung to the
nearest telegraph pole. The facts
are so self-evident that the stats
TICS Of every State prison in the land
annually prove them beyond ques-
ton. Only two total abstainers have
been received in the last year and
nine lifers out Of ten admit they were
drunk when they firted with fate.

Warning to Others.
c L o T H E S.

The Board Of Supervisors Of the
Town Of Forest Prairie propose to
stop the practice Of blowing up the
public highway within the four rod
limit, and as commencement,
Chairman Hess Of the board laid the
matter before County Attorney Sex
ton and was told by him that under
the law as it now stands, no one had
a right to pillow up or use the ground
inside the road limits, for any other
purpose than to SOW grass seed
thereon. The chairman thereupon
swore out a warrant against rich
farmer Of that town, and he was
brought before Justice Bacon, plead
guilty and was fined five dollars and
costs, on Oct. IA. The party said
that every one down his way was do
ing the same, and he thot he had a
right to do as others did, but he
would put the road in good condition
again, and see that it was kept so as
far as he was concerned. Litchfeld

Has Narrow Escape.

Gus Donaldson, one Of the engin-
GERS who pull the fast mail trains q
and % between this city and St. Paul
tells Of an unusual experience which
befell his train last Thursday. It
was the west bound mail, No. ~, and
they were running about sixty miles
an hour after leaving Benson, when
a COW got in the way. In the result
ing collision the animal was thrown
about thirty feet and struck sec
ton hand who was cutting weeds
along the right Of way. Supposing
that the man would be killed, Donald
son stopped to pick up the remains.
Contrary to the expectations Of the
crew, however, the man was not on
" alive but was not hurt beyond be-
ing stunned by the impact, and a lit
tie later was able to 60 on with his

Elbow Grease Motor Boat.

Another Clara City man has
joined the great army Of inventors
to spring something new on the Am
erican public, it being no other than
Phil Henk the druggist and one
would hardly think it that lands
man would invent boat propeller
since we are many miles from any
body of water but he has done it and
his invention appears to be sue
cess and we hope it may bring him
fame and fortune. The invention is
very simple the principal. part of
which is long rod about six feet
long, one end Of which is run thru
the stern Of an ordinary row boat
to which is fastened an ordinary pro-
peller. The other end Of the rod is
turned into a reciprocating screw to
which a hand lever is attached. A
heavy fly wheel is also placed on the
rod and by pulling the lever back
and forward, the propeller is whirled
around at a great rate. A speed of
seven or eight miles may be attain
ed and the operating Of the lever is
easier than using oars. Mr.. Henk
gave his invention test at Lake
Ripley near LitchReld last Friday
and there is no doubt Of it's ultimate
success when few minor improve
ments have been made.-Clara City

Successful Milking Machine.

A very novel and interesting sight
is the milking of cows by means Of
machinery. The writer had the sat-
isfaction Of witnessing it one evening
this week on the farm Of Meabury
BIOS. operated by J. B. Vermilyea.
They are now milking 38 cows. The
power, or suction, is furnished by an
engine which is run by kerosene in
stead Of gasoline. A rubber tube is
fastened to the four teats Of each
COW that is to be MIXED and the gen
tie suction milks them rapidly and
clearly, the milk flowing into large
covered receptacle. -Four COWS were
being MIXED at the same time, and
they did not seem to mind it at all.
But it should be seen to be appre-
5ciated.- Browns Valley Tribune.

SOCIETY PRAISES
EQUESTRIAN SHOW
Throng Thrilled by Remark
able Exhibition at Rid
ing Club.

That horse shows and riding exhibit
tions can always be made a success in
Washington in the future is the lesson
of the second equestrian entertain
ment of the Riding Club last evening.
for in spite of the handicap of the
withdrawal of a great number of en-
tries by reason of the departure of
officers for the maneuvers, the eXhi-
bition was excellent and was enthus-
iasticalIy received.
Not many days ago it was at first
thought it might be necessary to
postpone the exhibition, because of
the departure of so many army men.
Today it is appreciated that horse in
terest is just as keen In Washington
society outside of the army as ii is in
the army circles.
Secretary of War Dickinson, Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood. and q score of
members of the diplomatic set were
among the thousand people, prom
inent in the social affairs of the Cap
itaI, who crowded the clubhouse at
Twenty second and P streets north
west.
OF the ..,,.f dozen drills and compe-
titions by regular troopers from Fort
Mycr. the real exciting one was the
mounted saber contest by eight cavalry
scrFeants. With wooden swords they
slashed at each other, aiming to tear
away white paper plumes from their
opponents helmets. Sergeant Flynn
alone saved his plume, and was de-
clared winner.
Twenty-Five young men and women
of Washington society performed a
charming cOtiliOn, all mounted on
handsome horses.
The event that excited the most in
tercst was the ladies' tandem class,
with eight entries. Miss jeanette AL
len. mounted on POnty, and driving Re-
gent as a leader, was awarded the rib
bon Miss Allen was the star of the
evening. for she also won the blue
ribbon in the ladies' jumping class.
