AIClIItEL.
Frank p. MacLenaan, Editor of The
Topeka State Journal
Dear Sir-Permit me to inform you
that 1 was busy in court Wednesday
afternoon when a Capital representative
came to the court house and requested
our permission to use our window. l
gave this permission the same as 1 would
have done to a representative from your
paper. However. il never dawned on my
mind what the purpose was until l saw
the evening paper the next day, as was
not in my office myself.
Permit me farther to state that it is
a pity that men of a nature, integrity,
and intelligence of yourself and Mr..
Capper can not use your surplus energy
and valuable newspaper space, for the
betterment of the human race. rather
than the airing of personal grievances.
in which the public and your patrons
have no interest wha
PERSONALLY I do not think Mr.. Capper
is gaining anything politically by the pro-
cedure, nor do 1 think you are gaining
any new subscribers.
Yours truly n. P. NIELSEN"

young man stationed himself at the
door and refused to allow any one to
leave the house until the Sd were raised
This precipitated fight in which it is
alleged one man was struck with a

TO BUILD NEW DAM.
Alexandria Water Go. Plans Exten.
sive Improvements in Water
Supply for Alexandria.

At meeting OF the Alexandria Water
Company held today the first business
transacted in the new building was to
decide to increase the water supply OF
the city and the surrounding country,
and the president OF the company, Mr..
Walter Roberts, was directed to make
arrangements at once for the construc-
ton Of large dam on the compaay's
property at Bancroft. The directors
this evening visited the site OF the pro-
posed dam, which, when finished, will
increase the water supply several fold.
The company, looking to the needs
of the future, a few years ago pur-
chased nearly thousand acres OF land
along the water course which supplies
the city and will now utilize this land.
The above announcement will be
hailed with delight by the entire com.
munity, as the course OF The water
company will lift load OF anxiety
from all users of Cameron water 10
future. The recoIlcctions OF last sum-
mer, while the heavens were without
the rain, are still fresh in the minds oil
all. Although Alexandria was not de-
prived altogether OF her supply OF water
as was the case in some other cities
there was possibility that such dis.
tressing condition was possible.
The construction OF the dam pur
posed by the company will place the
city in position to escape the incon
yeneuce of a water famine in future.

The postotfice department has recent
ly notified the local postmaster, DR..
Ellison Capers, that this Office has been
elevated from the fourth class 10 the
third class. Few things Indicate more
accurately the substantial growth Of 4
community than its postotiice receipts.
The postmaster states that last year this
Office lacked but 46 cents in business
done to be elevated to the third class
The department requires that given
Office shall for four consecutive quarters
do a certain amount Of business, and
failure, even by one cent, TO reach this
requirement results in an Office remain
ing where il is.
The local express Office, at the depot,
resembles in smell and 10 appearance a
bar room. The whole place reeks Of
whiskey. The jug special' brings in
every day now scores OF boxes and pack
ages OF liquor. 1t is stated by reliable
former employee OF the railroad that
not less than $1,000 worth OF whiskey
has come into this place since Novem-
Der l.

of the weather undoubtedly has some

Some Verbal Slips.

Without beir.g j pedant one may
note many inaccuracies in the Use Of
words III his own speech and in that
Of others. Perhaps excuse" for par
dom is the most common of these, not
to consider mere malapropismS or
murders Of the kings English. AK
tous" used where eager" is meant is
another frequent error, and more Of
ten secure" is spoken incorrectly than
correctly. Ordinarily when procure"
or get is intended secure IS said.
These instances do not come within
even the category Of distorted syn
enyms. They are simply words mis-
applied OF practically synonymous
terms which have different shades Of
meaning the misuses Of ordinary con
versauon and of writing are innu-
merable. But to find fault with most
Of these latter wants Of precision
would be priggish. 1t is a profitable

No snake is able to jump or spring
from coil in order to strike, as often
represented in pictures. 1t can only
strike when it resembles the letter S
and is lying fat on the ground. 1t can
then only reach the distance supplied
by stretching the body out straight.
The two curves in the figure S supply
this distance, which Is about half the
length Of the body. No snake jumps
through the air to its victim or springs
clear from the ground, rising upon its
tail. Such stories and pictures are all
false. Neither do they coil like a rope
and strike from that position. They
may coil partially, but the part of the
body that does the striking is ever and
only that part which makes the figure
S and lies fat on the ground; hence no
serpent can strike when stretched out
its full length.
