II MATTEL OF RAILROAD ASSESSMENTS

The railroads are working the pc ople pretty smoothly through.
out the state in securing petitions to the railroad commission to re-
scind its recent order raising the assessments of certain railway lines.
The railroads can always be depended upon to put up smooth joos.
They have the brains and the money to do almost anything they
want. and the history of The United States Government shows that
they can rarely be exceled when it comes to pulling through a leg
islative deal that will help their business. They are superexcelent
hoodwinkers.
We are advised that even the board of supervisors of this county
sent a petition to the railroad commission protesting against the
raise in railroad assessments. We are persuaded that our board did
this without proper thought. We are sure that there is not a single
member of our board who is posted as to railroad values and that
possesses any accurate information as to the cost of railroad con-
struction. Then it is but fair to assume that the action Of the board
was based upon sympathy for the poor stockholders of the railroad
company! Certainly our board does not mean to put itself on rec
ord as being opposed to raising any assessments at all ~ We are
not given to making statements which we can not verify, but we
have very frequently heard the statement made by parties, who were
in a position to know, that the stock of the Illinois Central railroad
company-and we speak of that more particularly because it trav-
erses this county-was hypothecated in New York City for $4,000
per mile. Whether this be true or not, we are sure that this gigantic
corporation values its stock far beyond what the Mississippi railroad
commission has fixed its assessment at. We are aware of the fact
that the argument is oftentimes made that if the railroad company
is not assessed at half its value, neither are farms and town prop
erty, But there is this difference in the railroad company and the
farm: Most railroad stock is "watered," and when even a small div.
dend is declared. the investors are getting big interest on their act
ual money; the railroad stock is ready and easy money at all times,
while there is no watering" of farm values and the farmer only re-
alizes on his investment once a year. We have never heard of a
farmer to whom the government donated lands or money to start him
in business, yet almost every railroad has had many governmental
favors shown it.
No, let the assessment stand. 1t is not too high, In this dav
OF luXuries and increased demands by state, county and national
governments, if the moneyed interests r. not forced to help bear
the increase, who will The small taxpayer. who is already in hard
lines, of course.

Home WaterwOrkS.

Probably the greatest single benefit
That could come to the average farm
woman would be the installation of a
good waterworks system. The cost ia
very much less than the average farmer
imagines and the benefits from it are
very much greater. Farm papers from
time to time have published plans for
home waterworks, and The Progressive
f'arr.er has recently asked the Ma
tional Department of Agriculture to
provide free bulletins on the subject.
Let the farmer who has been BRINGING
water from a distant spring, get out q
pencil and paper, put down the distance
in feet or yards. multiply it by the num-
Der OF trips he must make on an aver
age a day, and multiply again by S65-
and NJ will realize how many hundreds
OF miles he has travelled in the course
OF a year, and how many days work are
required for getting an inadequate wa
ter supply for the house. A good wa.
terworks system would not only save
all this time and labor, but afford M
OF the greatest advantages of CITY life
by providing water in all parts Of the
house. Every farmer who has a pronar
regard for the welfare of the woman
ne has chosen for his wife, therefore.
and who a possibly afford it. should
set about installing an adequate water.

The Egq.

It is the most wonderful of all foods.
It is the safest, simplest, purest, most
healthful, most faithful, most widely
available article that man can put into
his stomach. In whatever corner Of
the world one finds ones self, however
soiled the surroundings, however unin-
viting the inn, n can always count on
the egg. It is sure to come at the call
with its clean, wholesome, strengthen
ing contents neatly protected from
dirt and germs, says the New York
Evening World.
Unlike other foods, tbs egg is not a
carrier of disease. One never hears it
blamed for infection. Milk may con-
tain a hundred dangers, bread may be
unwholesome, but the fresh egg is a
model of sanitary sweetness and anti
scepticized purity. Nor can its con-
tents be tempered with without de-
stroying its integrity and making plain
to all the world it's fall.
Alone-boiled, dropped, poached,
shirred-it offers itself always conf
dent assurance. 1t seeks no aid.
Yet it is an admirable tinker" 1t
will lend itself with gentle willingness
to almost any society. It improves and
elevates whatever company it enters.
1t strengthens the bowel of the invalid.
1t tempers the cup of the r~eveler,
1t has n of the most beautiful
shapes in nature. Its oval has been
the despair of the artists. Its surface
is a joy to the hand.
No record or ancestry is more an
Gent and honorable. Yet it offers it.
self freely and impartially to rich and
poor. Its price is not its fault.
All glory to the egg. Whenever we
meet her let US take of our hats to the
hen.

THE BOND ISSUE

AS already stated in these columns, the board of supervisors of
this county contemplate the issuance of 100000 in bonds-one.half
OF which 1t is proposed to use in building and replacing bridges and
the other half towards building and otherwise improving the public
roads of the county.
The board is taking steps. along progressive lines and has no
doubt got ITS plans well in mind. The spirit of road improvement
is abroad in the land, and that section or county which fails to real.
ize it is a laggard and is failing at a most essential point. Every
we'll informed tourist who visits this section remarks upon our bad
roads and the untavorable impression they give prospecting citizens
who visit our state. So it is time to be up and doing. We feel sure
that the board will spend the road money discreetly and that plaus-
IDLE theorists will not be able to induce them to experiment.
1t is we'll known that the heavy rains and overAows of the past
winter demolished many bridges, hence the matter of replacing
these bridges is imperative if the travelling public is to be accom-.
modated.

The Telephone As a "Toy.''
(From the Philadelphia Press. }

(From the Philadelphia Press.)
1t would be highly interesting to have
some graphic record of the sensations
of Alexander Graham Bell, when he
arrived in Philadelphia last Wednesday
to receive from the Franklin institute
the Elliott Cresson gold medal Sin rec
ognition of the value of his solution of
the problem of the electrical transmits
sion of articulate speech" Which is a
roundabout way of saying that he in
vented the telephone. And there is no
doubt that the thought of Professor
Bell, gazing at the tardy decoration,
flew back to Philadelphia and his expe-
p~erience here in 1876. when, during the
Centennial, he exhibited his invention
and was told that it was ingenious,
even laughably entertaining. and might
serve as a toy for children IF he could
sell it cheap enough"
The London Times Of that date called
the telephone ''the latest American
humbug," and it was 30 regarded by
most Americans. Bell was looked upon
as a ventriloquist or magician. oper-
ating with q confederate, Through a
hole in the wire" When, after DEM
onstrating through lectures and several
short distance connections in Boston,
Bell and his needy supporters they
borrowed a half or a quarter of a dol
lar when they could lost heart and Of
fered all their business and patents to
the naughty Western Union Telegraph
Company of the time for 800, 900, the
prompt, wen pompous, reply was:
"'What do you suppose we want with
it? Our company isn't in the toy bust
ness"
Since then Professor Bells device
by no means through him alone, but
aided by Blake's t~ransmitter, which
surpassed Edison's in its earliest stage
of efficiency, and, above all, through
the bulldog management Of Theodore
N. Vail-has not only ceased to be a toy,
worth less than 500, 600, is capitalized
at some $500, OvO, ZOO, and instead of
being a ''humbug'' and a "toy," is a
world necessity. Bell was told in Phil
adelphia during his Centennial attempt,
that the usefulness of the invention
was restricted. The bankers, accord
ing to R. H. Gilmore, said of it: 'Just
the thing for the doctors and butch
ers. We can't use it." And the butch
ers said, "See here, why don't you try
the bankers?"
These disclosures seem incredible at
this small remove; but 80 we grow.
Presently our wireless and awaiting
progeny will wonder in the same way.
Yet this apparition of the telephone is
all the more amazing because it has
been in view of many Of US who are
able to transmit the story to those who
shall follow or. In detail it would be a
voluminous story, but just now it has
the quickening interest begotten of the
late presence of Prof. Bell himself re-
ceiving belated recognition Of the SER
vice he has done for the whole world.
The real toy is the medal adorning
the honored professors chest.

REPEATZVG HISTORY

The scramble now in process among the members of the ma.
tional republican committee at Chicago appears to foreshadow a
storm and a rupture. We hope that appearances are not deceptive.
however; the republicans have remarkable recuperative powers and
have always fallen into the party lines at the proper bugle call. But
they have not had such a storm in their midst since 1866. when their
convention assembled in the same city, May 16. Then it was the
politicians tor Seward-al against Lincoln. The first ballot in that
convention was Seward I73 1-2, Lincoln 1o2; the remainder of the
vote of the convention was scattered among Bates, Cameron. Chase
and several Others. On the second ballot Lincoln gained 70 votes
and Seward II, and on the third ballot Lincoln forged ahead. which
caused the Ohio delegation to change from Chase to Lincoln. and
that gave him the nomination. The galleries were full of Lincoln
enthusiasts and so was the city of Chicago, and the politicians we're
unable to stem the swelling tide. 1t remains to be seen what success
the politicians will have this time.

KID REHG VERY
 FRESH YOUNGSTER
FORMER HARTFORD PLAYER SASSED EVERYBODY IN
 NATIONAL LEAGUE,

Manager Fred Cqarlzss claims his Pittsburgh Pirates include three play CTS, each of whom is unsurpassed in his own field of fame
 The three are: Hans Wagner the greatest shortstop; Marty O'TooIe, the $22, 800 pitcher, who is the most ex- pensiye ball player, and Walter Rehg the freshest minor leaguer that ever broke into the big show. This story has to do with f2eieg. Rehg started last spring with the Pirates coming from the Hartford club of the Connecticut League. He was farmed to St. Paul, but has been recalled.
 Rehg has sassed everybody and aI- ways got away with it. The first time he faced a. big-Ieague pitcher, batting for another Pirate, Umpire Billy Klem asked him whom he was batting for.
 "Myself,'' said Rehg.
 KIeTn insisted on Knowing his name, and then asked how it was spelled.
 You don't spell tt.'' replied Rehg. You whistle it.''
 In a game in Boston Mike Donlin was peeved because Max Carey missed the hit-and-run sign from Mike, caus- ing Mike to miss a hit.
 Gee whiz!'' complained Mike on the bench. 1T don't know what was the matter with Carey. Why, everybody in the park except Max got the sign. . Sure they did. and a fellow outside the park got it, too,'' cut in Rehg. See that fellow" and he pointed to sign painter on a scaffold. "He got it and is painting it.

FLYNN WILL GET RETURN
 BOUT WITH YOUNG M'GARTY

Jim Flynn, who was defeated by Luther McCarty recently. is not to re- tire from the riAg. Quite the con trary. Flynn already is out with a challenge to McCarty for a. return bout and says that he will be glad to meet the winner of the Palzer-Mc- Carty battle on New Years day. Re tire," he snarled in reply to a ques- ton. Say, all I want is anothe her crack at McCarty and I'll make him eat out of my hand. Why, he never even dazed me in all the fight and I'd have licked him sure in a. few more rounds Some people thought l was crazy when I jumped out of my chair between the ninth and tenth rounds. The truth is that a second bungled things ins my corner and got ann monia into my eyes. I struggled all right, but it was only to get free from that bottle. This, I think had a bearing on the result of the battle. I was almost blinded by the ammonia and it took me some time to recover from it.
 Flynn went on to relate how once he beat a man after fighting for Is rounds with his jaw broken and thought that he was well on his way to victory when the referee stopped the fight. Apparently it is not as hard to beat Flynn as to convince him that he is beaten.

PALZER IN GOOD SHAPE FOR M'CARTY
WRITERS THINK HE IS CONCEAL ING REAL CONDITION IN ORDER TO INFLUENCE
 BETTING.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 23.-With but a few more days of the training camp torture, the heavyweight trail grows red hot. From Al Palzer's camp comes the tip that the ''old fox," Tom O'Rourke, has been spool ing about AIS real condition in order to force McCarty into favoritism. It is guaranteed that Palzer, for the first time in his life, is on edge. ready to lick reg1ment,'' as Al expresses it.
 McCarty is making a show of con fdence by rehearsing the stage stunt he expects to- pull after winning the heavyweight belt. Luther is prac- ticing with his rifle, using grains. of grapenut for shot, and training his long horned goat to assist in the lariat- throwing act. No boxing will be done in McCarthy's act, He is to. be billed as ''The Cowboy Champion"
