SWAT THE TRUST.

The Mexico Message is com
planning that the county clerk of
Audraln will not give him a
chance at the county printing.
That is one OF the things we must
get used to, Bro. Beal, and if you
ever find the secret of official fav-
orltlsm IN this matter we speak
now to share it. A newspaper
may fight for all that is clean and
good and may get the best of re
suits Tor the people, but it will not
win him even a chance to bid on
ms county printing We know
Bro. Beal has been true TO his
principles and to his people. but
The emoluments for party service
will never make him rich nor
proud.-Ceutralia Guard.
Apropos to the above neither
the Ledger nor the Intelligencer
nor the County Clerk, up to this
time, has had a word to say in de-
NAL of what the Message said last
week regarding the letting OF this
county printing work. The
trust" is holding on. but there
is time vet for them to speak. If
they have any defense we should
be pleased to hear it But it Is
nonsense to suppose that they
have any defense.
The taxpayers are interested in
tins matter more than some peo-
pie may suppose, and in the mean
time there may be more TO be
said Oh "The Broken Window, A"
as the school children used to
have in the readers years ago.
Swat the trust. Let's have
justice and equity and fairness in
this thing"
The Message has shown where
the peoples money has been
sluandered, and we miss our
guess if the taxpayers do not de-
nand that this graft stop. Let
this county printing work TO the
lowest bidder.

RUBBER FROM TuRPENTiNE.

The invention of a new kind of
synthetic rubber is announced from
Christiania. Norway. A German
physician, DR.. Kurt. Gross. has pro
luced from turpentine after eight
sen months experimenting a new
rubbcr-like substance which he de
clares is perfect substitute and
costs only one-quarter as much as
the natural article.
II is an odorless compound. and
its color is yellowish white. Heated
TO between so and 100 degrees. the
substance becomes transparent; it
assumes a light brown hue and gives
Off a slight smell Of turpentine.
The inventor has already manu-
tacturcd several articles with the
new artificial rubber to demonstrate
its virtues. notably a set Of accumu-

THREE LETTERS A MINUTE
That Was the Best speeu Of the Sem
aphore Telegraph Of the Days Of
the French Revolution.

Signal fire telegraphing. with it.
very limited scope of information
contained, seems 10 have been about
the only means of communicating
quickly across distance until rela-
lively modern times.
II was not until the days Of the
French revolution that any material
improvement over the beacon fire
telegraph developed Three brothers
named Chappe devised the sema-
phore telegraph. This system got
into active operation in 1894, and
the first real message ever spelled
out and telegrsphed across country
was in that year, and the text was
as follows:
"Conde is taken from the Austri-
ans"
The same day the national con-
yention, sitting in Paris. sent back
the following reply to the army:
"The Army of the North deserves
the gratitude of the country"
The semaphore operators attained
a speed Of three letters a minute in
fine weather. with an average Of one
minute over long distance. This
made necessary the invention of con-
ienscd codes, which came into fash
ion.-Nsw York Telephone Review.

HOW TO ACQUIRE JUNO FORM
Or. Sargent Tells Women TO TD
Hard Housework II They Desire
Graceful Figures.

Women who wish TO be beautiful
particularly those desirous of reduc-
ing their plump proportions" to
graceful lines, are recommended BY
DR.. Sargent, director of the Har-
ward gymnasium, to try housework.
Sweeping, knesding bread and doing
ones own washing, he SAYS, will
transform women into "the ideal
Juno type" while if they will only
get down on their hands and knees
and scrub the floor they will adopt
the best possible methods of straight.

What a portrait gallery of Junos
was lost to American art by the neg
lect of painters to seek their mod
els in western or New England farm
houses or in the Dutch kitchens Of
New Amsterdam, exclaims the New
York World. And what opportuni-
ties are overlooked by modern art
lists in Office buildings and hotels |!
1t illustrates the perversity Of the
sex that with this simple and natural
means of becoming beautiful avail
able to ali women, they reject it for
more artificial methods.
Possibly women do not now aspire
to become Junos. 1t was not to
Juno that Paris awarded the prize
for beauty, and incidentally Charles
Frohmsn is quoted in a London in
teryiew as saving that ''the big, tall
girl has passed from musical COM
sdy' into the ranks of the suffra-
yists- Doubtless parading and
speechmaking for the cause, as well
as golf and ATHLETIC sports, are more
popular aids to physical development

here called on the reward offered by
the sheriff of Teller county for his
discovery. Investigation OF the re-

ed that II was case Of mistaken
Identity and that Riggs had not real
ly been seen there at all. When the
rumor from the Pacific coast was
proved a myth the authorities here
were INSTRUCTED by the friends u
