1t seems hardly credible that the use of
gasolene as motive power is only about
fifty years old, when one takes notice of
the automobiles that pass along the
highways from day to day. Edward J.
Pennington, who recently diedin Boston,
was the pioneer inventor Of the automo
bile driven by kerosene power and receiv-
ed his patent in 1896. He was forbidden
to use gasolene as a motive power, and
so had to change his patent to adapt it
to the use of kerosene In the first vehi.

Back to the soip' is one of the slogans
of today, Leading men are advocating
it and the over-crowding of the cities
seems to demand it. One has but to take
short trip about the country to see the
idle lands where opportunity to make
good is evidenced in abundance. Farm
ing districts are less dull and monot-
onous than formerly. Investigations
which the government made some time
ago of social conditions in farming COM
munties emphasized the necessity of
making such life more attractive to the
girls and boys to keep them from leav-
ing home at the first chance.

The annual village reports were ont
too late to receive mention before village
meeting, but as there are a few figures
that might interest some of our readers
we give some of the important ones.
First of all is the cost of installing tie
new water system. This has been done
at an expense in round numbers of about
$4,000, which includes $4,000 paid gtOr
the Page water works. That we have a
fine system no one doubts, and all agree
that it is money well expended and that
it will pay for itself in time. The electric
light plant cost about $4,000, whichBil-
cludes some 81 900 expended for wiring
and supplies. 1t cost another $1,000 to
run the same $75 was laid out on PLAN,
$500 on repairs to line and $3.50 for lad-
ditions to line. Our highways cost Us
$3.50, sewers $40, and the fire depat-
ment $3.50. The interest on the bond-d
debt was $500 and it took about $500
for miscellaneous expenses-making
grand total of 500, 1S4.46. The receipts
show about $4,000 for electric lights,
power and wiring, $3.50 for taxes, 1886
on the highway taxes and $160 from
other sources. There are 1915 due on
electric light bills. The total indebted.
ness OF the village is now $33, 231.7.

WOMAN EXPLAINS
ABSOLUTE LIFE
MRS. REEFS, MOTHER OF THE
GIRL IN GEES ESTABLISH
MENT GIVES TESTIMONY.
Says Purpose of absolute Life is
To Purify the Race and Make
the World Better.

Chicago, July Mrs. Felicia Rees,
mother of Mona. and a deciple OF
Evlyn Arthur See. testified in tle
trial of the latter today.
Mrs. Rees admitted writing many
parts OF the "heok of truth" Many
portions of the manuscript, of which a
liberal reading makes the book seem
obscene she explained were SYMBOL
cal. declaring that the whole purpose
of the book was to preach unselhsh-
ness, kindness and chastity.
1t was learned from those associa-
ted with Sees defense that many pro-
posals OF marriage have been re-
ceived by the femme figures in the
case. Mona Rees is said to have been
the recipient of forty letters asking
her hand in marriage; Mildred
Bridges dozen, while the mothers
of the girls have not been neglected.
That Mildred Bridges went to
Sees house with the PERMISSION oi
Mrs. Bridges was another assertion
made by Mrs. Rees.
"Are you familiar with that portion
of Sees book there shall be born
new race" she was asked.
"Yes. 1t was published in paper
by See in 1906. year before he be-
came acquainted with Mildred
Bridges"
Mrs Rees said Absolute life
meant life free of unselfishness
kindness and mortal passion. she
said that free love was not advoca'
ted "The new race is to consist O
tae offspring of people who are law
fully married." witness continued
This offspring will be purified OF al
vice and passion and make the work

WAR AGAINST
THE OPIUM EVIL
CHINESE SHOWING UNEXPECTED
AND ENviABLE TRAITS OF
NATIONAL CHARACTER.
War on the "5rown Fairy of the
Orient" is Being Prosecuted
Wisely and Vigorously.

Pekin July 1.-The war against
the rule of opium, the maleficent
I brown fairy" of the Orient, is re-
yealing unsuspected traits of Chinese
character. Patience, perseverance,
and fortitude the best observers have
always conceded flo dle Chinaman,
,ut the genuine sentiment against
opium, allied as it is to a sense OF
iational shame and a growing ma
ional consciousness, has developed
initiative, resourcefulness and COM
handing show of public opinion not
expected by even the most optimis-
aic.
Public opinion has long ruled very
trongly in Chinese business and
)anking circles, but it has been sin
yularly supine in official life. Now
the vernacular press, aided and en-
outraged by f. w. Thwing, an Amer
can representative of the Interna-
tional Reform Bureau, is publishing
With marked effect reports of the ef-
sorts, failures and successes of the
campaign. Encouragement is given
o those viceroys who are doing good
work, and those who fall short
heir duty or connive at vice, arc
:alIed to the attention of the peopse
ind the government.
The result is astonishing. Already
he use of the drug by the younger
generation is almost unknown, and
many foreigners believe uaat two
Sears will see the end of its use by
my but confirmed slaves of the habit
1t their death the last trace or the
,urse will be lifted from the land.
Formerly, confirmed smokers
ooasted of their addiction, and pass
ed the pipe to their friends in COM
pany. Little lounges and "lay outs
formed part of the furniture OF ev-
Try restaurant ami of most private
louses. The peculiar, acrid odor o.
casting opium floated from house ar
er house ss one passed down the
treets of Shanghai. Canton and Pc
lin. But that was five years ago
Today opium smoking has become

,hall not become suspicious of them

quake shocks, the heaviest since the

experienced at 2:01 o'clock, was fol-
lowed within a few seconds by one
OF similar intensity, each lasting about
five seconds.
Only trivial damage has been re-
ported from any sections, but in San
Francisco and other cities in the af-
fected area panic seized upon crowds
in stores and restaurants and there
was a pell-mell from the large build
lngs. One peculiar feature was that

the latter place experiencing tna
heaviest shock in its history.
Some slight damage was done to
building in San Francisco. Heavy
stones in the cornice of the Mechan-
c's bank building were moved slightly
out of alignment; superficial cracks
were made in large Office buildings,
cornices OF the new postoffice building
were disarranged and minor damage
was done to the inner walls of a
number of other buildings.
Within few seconds after the first
shock many downtown building.
