the town council, electric lights for
the town of Malta formed the most
important topic under discussion.
f'y invitation of the council large
number of the business men, 9th
er citizens and tax payers assembled.
| In this way il WAS thought the senti-
| ment OF the public could be Ascer-
/ tanned before the council should act
upon the matter or place it before
the voters at the coming election i'm
April.
After the meeting had been called
to order and the minutes of the prev
iolIs meeting had been read and APP
proved, andattellion given the annu-
al municipal election, which will be
held the first Monday in April, for
the purpose of electing one aldermen
from ward No. I. and one aldermen
from ward No. =, a notice of the
said election was read. The council
then proceeded to elect three Judges
and two clerks from each ward for
this election. The Judges and clerks
elected We're: First ward:-.) Judges,
MaN .Sklower, Ar,hu: Murphy, and
Edw. pierson. Clerks, I. NJ. Facey
tl Al Il 1,.e Al h.I
Judges, II. Y. Tucker. w. j. Tress-
ler. and JAS. n. Battr,m, Clerks,
+. L. Crofut and James Wilson.
The lighting and heating of the
town of Malta BY electricity was
then taken up.
S"ren w. Swenson of Chinook,
presented to the council his PROPOSE
tion of Il twenty-five year franchise
wherein he asked permission to erect,
construct, Install and maintain All
electric light power and heating
plant, and to operate ami maintain
said plant for the period therein
named. This plan was fully dis
cu>sed by the council and citizens
present and then laid on the table.
Howard +. Wharton then addressed
the meeting, presenting his PROPOSE
ton, which WAS to organize a stock
company, composed of stockholders
from the town of Malta, to erect.
construct and maintain an electric
hight, power and heating plant,
the company also to own and nper-
ate water power plant, with which
to supply the town with water and
ais" provide fire protection. Mr..
W W!,arton'S form of franchise was
not entirely completed, but the fire
protection clause in it met with the
approval OF many who We're present.
The Council did not arrive ut any
decision in the matter but will take
the electric light proposition up at II
special meeting Of the council next
Tuesday evening, at which time both
Of the franchises will again be taken
up and acted upon.

sausage and the grinding of bone for
poultry.
ror TINS purpose the proprietors
have installed new and up-to-date
machinery, consisting of a large
sausage grinder and mixer, and bone
crusi'er. The machinery is run by
power from a gasoline engine. The
sausage grinding and mixing machine

the ingredients used to make de-
llclous sausage are thoroughly mixed
during the process of grinding. Here.
too, the sausage is put into eases

is operated at the same
time and by the same power, and
converts the bones with bits of meat
and tissue adhering to them into just
the kind Of stuff that is needed in the
poultry business for egg production.

Worry Does Kill = Get Out OF
The Habit

| Modern Science has brought to
light nothing more curiously inter
estlng than that worry will kill.
More remarkable still it has been
abe to determine from recent dis
coyeries just how worry does kill.
IT is believed by many scientists
who have followed carefully the
growth of the science of brain dis
eases that scores of the DEATHS set
down to other causes are due to wor-
~ ;,nd that alone. The theory is u
simple one, SO simple that any one
can Readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this:
Worry Injuries beyond repair certain
cells of the brain, and the brain be-
ing the nutritive center of the body,
the other organs become gradually
injured, and when some diseases of
these organs or combination Of
them arises, death finally ensues.
Thus worry kills. Insidiously,
like many other diseases, ii creeps
upon the brain in the form Of Il sim
gle constant, never lost idea, and as
Il dropping OF water over a period Of
years will wear a groove in the stone,
so does worry gradually, impercepti-
bIy and no less surely destroy the
brain cells that lead all the rest.
which are, so to speak, the COM
manding officers of mental power,
health andmOtion.
Worry, to make the theory still
stronger. is All irritant ut certain
points which produces little harm if
it comes at intervals or irregularly.
Occasional worrilnent the brain can
cope with, but the iteration and the
reiteration of one idea of disquiet-
ing sort the cells of the brain are not
proof against.
1t is as it the skull were laid bare
and the surface of the brain struck
nightly with hammer every few see
onds with mechanical precision, with
never sign Of Il stroke. just in
this way does the annoying ides, the
maddening thought that will not be
done away with, strike or fall upon
certain nerve cells, never ceasinv,
diminishing the vitality OF the deli
cate organisms that are so minute
that they can only be seen under the
microscope. -Medico.

New Ruling OF Interstate Com
merce Commission

Agents, both freight and passenger
of all local roads, have had lot of
extra work thrust upon them by a
recent ruling of the interstate COM
Merce commission. 1t refers to the
filing OF the records. The new or
ders supercede those ON the same
subject which were issued last July.
The orders just received provide
for the filing away of all records in
all departments, SO that they may
be open to the public at all times.
Depending OH the class Of record, the
time of keeping them ranges from
one year for minor and unimportant
matters, to permanently, for sucl.
matters as deed, titles, stockholders
reports, etc. Most of the records are
to be kept from one TO eight years.
In the order, all records are COM
prised under TO less than ~ headings,
making Il formidable list of papers to
file away.
1t means for one thing that local
ticket agents will be compelled to
keep on lille for seven years their
daily balance sheets. The penalty
for failure to comply with these
orders in some cases is loss of posi-
tion and in others criminal prosecu-
tion. Most Of the records mentioned
in the order have been kept on file
before, but the new order specifies
the length of time ia each individual
case. In time 1t will require adj
ditional storage room in allthe ticket
Offices and freight houses.

WHOLESALE PRICE OF
 BEER MAY ADVANCE.
Brewers Forced to Do it Because of
 Scarcity of Hops and Barley.

New Haven. Conn. Nov. 26.--An in crease in the wholesale price of beer Is forecasted by Hugh F. Fox, secre- tary Of the United Brewers associa- tion. who on Friday attended confer enie here of brewers of the state when trade conditions were under discussion. Mir Fox says that while brewers, by reason of the increasing price of hops and barley, and the lessening produc- tion- will be obliged to increase the Trice of their product the ultimate consumer" 1t is not expected, will have to pay any higher price for beer which he buys over the counter, although there may be some slight increase in the cost per cane in bottled beers.
 Mir Fox said that droughts in Eng land and northern Europe has com peiled English brewers to seek the crop of our own Pacific coast, and the activity of the barley malt market has driven the price from an average of 70 cents bushel to about $1.40 while hops have gone from 15 and 20 cents fo about 50. The labor scale has also materially increased

ITALIANS BODY FOUND
 WEDGED IN WINE cAsK.
Victim Had Been straneIed to Death
 by Rope Around His Neck.

Philadelphia. Nov. 26.-Tshe body of an unknown Italian. apparently about 30N years ef age, was found today wedged in a wine cask along what is known as the Hook road. near Nor wood, Delaware county, a few miles south of this city. The man had been strangled to death and the rope used for the purpose had been drawn so tightly about the neck that 1t cut through the skin. The legs of the vic tim were drawn up and bound tight to the upper portion of his body, but the murderer, or murderers, were com pelled to break the legs at the ankles before it was possible to nail the head in the cask
 The victim was i've feet six inches in height and weighed 150 pounds. He had black curly hair and a small black moustache. The body was fully cloth ed in cloth of black texture, but there were nos marks on the clothing or any thing in the pockets by which identif- cation could be made.
 The spot where the cask was found is along a lonely road which is incre- quently travelled, and 1t is the belief of the Delaware county police officials that the man was murdered in one of the many Italian settlements in that country and the body hauled to the spot where 1t was found late at nfghc. The man had apparently been dead for a week.
