TURN FAUCET AND GET
APPLEJACK COCKTAIL
Enjoyed Until Cider Makers
Find New Dump For Refuse.

Reading, Pa.-For some weeks the
city water bureau has noticed an amaz-
ing increase in the water used In this
city Inspectors and registrars alike
were unable to account for It. People
who seldom used water except TO wash
In have been seen indulging in amaz-
ing quantities. Men who have not
used 1t as a tipple for a long time have
been forsaking bars and clinging to
water attachments in public places in
lieu of pumps
Analysis of the water discovered a
peculiar taste. 1t was like three fingers
Of Bourbon diluted to the eighth de-
gree. This failed TO solve the mys'
terry, however, as no one supposed for
a moment that a distillery had been
located near any of the reservoirs.
BY accident the key to the puzzle has
just been found. One Of the inspec-
tors of the state health board patrol
ling the water shed found several cider
mills along the Maiden creek, which
supplies the city, were dumping the
waste and pulp from the apples used
in making cider into the stream. This
pulp, fermenting in the shallow places,
produced the alcoholic juice that lent
its peculiar applejack flavor later no
ticed IN the city water.
Even the fish showed the effects.
Fishermen reported that the fish would
not bite. but seemed TO be running
around recklessly in the water and In
dulging In antics that no fish In its
right mind would think of.

Future Prosnecfs.

Prof. Chas. Willis, of the Uni
versity school Of mines, is quot
ed as saying:
In the northeast corner of the
state of Arizona are three large
counties occupying an area cf
almost one-third of the state.
Coconino, Navajo and Apache
are counties Of big area and but
few people. If you should ask
them if mining played any part
of their business they would
consider it quite joke, but two
large coal fields are situated
within that area.
South Of WinsIow, in Navajo
county, is one of the largest
semi -bituminous coal fields in the
western United States but it is
absolutely undeveloped yet. In
the southern part of Apache
county, is another coal field,
the Deer Creek field, from which
good quality of bituminous coal
has been obtained.
All over these three counties
are to be found deposits of iron
which in time will be available
and used. The mining future of
these counties is a little ways off
as yet, but it is bound to come
as the development and SETTLE
ment of the country to the west
and northwest bring a market
for what they have to offer.
Although it is supposed that
nothing is produced in the
metals, each of these counties
have their little part in the an
nual reports.
But the mining resources of
these counties are in another age
and their turn will come when
the mining in the southern part of
the state has commenced to lag.
When the population has so NOV
ed west that iron and coal are
desired we will hear further from
these counties. "

In this day of our national

in the press dispatches that an
English cruiser forcibly searched
an American steamer lying in the
neutral harbor at Progreso, Mex
leo, and then takes up a position
outside the harbor evidently for
the purpose Of Selling the vessel
when it sets sail. live only hao
a Grover Cleveland democrat in

ans on a battleship, the British

MAGICIAN LAURANT AND HIS AS
SISTANTS.

nearly as possible two hours. The in
termissiOns are not long, and the plan
ist fills these with bright music. The
first feature is a flower prelude. This
is not a little single flower trick such
as many magicians offer, but consists
Of over thirty-fve separate and dis
tinct flower effects, blended into one
pretty little act, and is used only as an
introduction to the show proper.
Following this prelude Mr.. Laurant
introduces his latest features of sleight
of hand, etc, occupying about thirty
minutes At this point new novelty
is offered in his new French trick, en-
titled "The Mystic LIE Chapeau."
Laurant's new, startling illusion, "The
Soldier. the Priest and the Devil" has
been especially built to replace his
great mystery, "The Witch of the
Flame" It is entirely different in ev-
cry way. "The Soldier, the Priest and
the Devil' is a combination Of effects,
during which Laurant assumes three
characters at almost one and the same
time. An escape is made in full view,
and instantly an appearance is made
in the person of "the devil"

Another fire in a sweat shop"
has taken as toll twenty lives Of
girls. Not sufficient fire escapes
and lack of proper safeguards
was the cause. When tenents
and property owners are held
jointly criminally liable for fail
ure to provide proper and suffi-
cient safeguards for the en-
ployes, the evil will find a rem
edy in a measure, as tenant
will be slow to assume response
bility with landlord. Another
measure of protection would be q
law requiring the Landlord to
furnish a certificate to his tenant
annually, from the proper city
authority, setting forth that the
building had been inspected and
found fully equipped for safe
guarding life. Failure to fur
nish the certificate would work a
forfeiture Of the rents. This
kind of a penalty would probably
get a landlord busy.

of wheat, $4,000 bu. of oats,
l, 100000 bu. of barley, 100000

AS a protest against the Sun
day closing of the saloons in Chi
cago by order of the mayor, a
parade of $4,000 men marched
the streets Of the city last Sun
day. While this seems quite a
demonstration it in fact only rep
resents about ten men for each
saloon, and it is a poor saloon
that does not have a clientele of
at least dozen professional sa-
loon buns, who never spend a
cent, but put in their time pan
handling the customers for a few
drinks. So the parade, in fact,
was a protest from the buns for
shutting off their daily potion of
free drinks. The big liquor in
terest and breweries probably
financed the demonstration, and
the result of the parade will fur
nish more recruits for prohibi-
ton, as the laWlessness of the
licensed saloon will be brought
home forcefully to thoughtful,
intelligent men. The state law
of Illinois prohibits open saloons
on Sunday, and yet 10000 men
can be found who will parade as
a protest because the mayor of
the city insists that the law be
enforced. Is it surprising that
prohibition is spreading? Sup
pose all the thieves, yegg men,
porch climbers and petty crooks
would parade in Chicago because
the mayor had issued an order
that the law was to be enforced,
would it have the desired effect
on the aw-abiding populace; rath-
er, would it not spur them to a
more earnest and united effort to
suppress them completely? Let
the big liquor interests COM
mence spending their money to
aid the authorities in a strict en-
torcement Of the law, and refuse
to allow their product to be sold
by man who violates it, and
there may be a chance for them
to save a part of the country
from going prohibition. Prohi-
bition got its impetus from the
declaration that saloons knew no
law they had to respect.

New York, Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts did not take kind
ly to woman suffrage in their
elections last week, defeating the
proposition with majorities rang
ing from 100000 to 250, 600. The
conservative east is a little slow in
accepting any innovation on the
old order of things. Massachu-
chusetts was burning witches
and hereto long after civilization
had decreed that such a method
was not the way to build up the
Christian religion. Corrupt pol
iticians in New York City, whose
henchmen are the gamblers,
crooks and gun men, and a cor
rupt police force, were opposed
to the women voting, as it meant
loss of power, prestige and graft.
Pennsylvania, with its thousands
of ignorant Huns and SIavs IN
the mines, it's grating politi-
clans in the cities, were not look
ing for intelligence as qualifi-
cation for the franchise.

Mr.. VIM. Bryan, Of Lincoln,
Neb., and the three tailors of
Tooley street, are in accord with
each other as to their import
ance. The tailors were eve, the
people," but Mr.. Bryan is me
the government. !" In a recent
statement opposing President
Wilson's policy of strengthening
our national defenses to prevent
any foreign interference with
our national life, Mr.. Bryan asks
why is this time chosen to reVo-
lutionize our national theories
and to exchange our policy for
the policy Of Europe?" Where
in is the change in the real gov
ernment policy? Of course if
Mr.. Bryan imagined he was the
government when he was rat
Ting around in the Office Of Sec
retary of State, and was promul-
eating his peace at any price
doctrine, then there is q change
.of policy. The policy Of this
country from the meeting of the
continental congress down to the
time Mr.. Bryan landed in the Of
fee Of Secretary of State-if we
have read history correctIy-has
always been to keep up a military
preparedness, not for conquest,
but to repelI invasion, and to
maintain and insist that our
rights be respected by all nations.
Mr.. Bryan's propaganda Of peace
at any price is not making many
converts among red-blooded citi-
zens in any party, and he will be
a mighty lonesome individual in
the campaign next year.

Array of Talent Which Is Scheduled to
Appear Here at Intervals Through
out the Winter.

An annual Lyeeum entertainment
course is now regarded as practically
indispensable in nearly $4,000 Ameri-
can communities, and the number is
increasing with each year.
Some one has truly said that Ly-
ceum attraction, even though it failed
to raise a higher standard in the com
munity, at least never lowered an ex-
listing standard or in any way leaves
a deleterious effect. This cannot be
said of many other kinds of amuse
ment and entertainment.
What the winters entertainments
and lectures are to be in each com,
munity is usually looked for at this
time of the year. The course here this
year will be made up Of the following
attractions:

Eugene Laurant is one Of the most

300 magicians, he was decorated with
a medal, and later at the meeting of

HOW LONG A SOLDIER LIVES
Has Better Chance In VA Than
When Following a Civilian
Occupation.

According to Edward Bunnell
Phelps, editor Of the American I'm
derwritcr, a soldier has a better
chance Of living through a year Of
the war than a civilian has when pur-
suing his ordinary ccuption. Thus,
he saws the percentages show that a
soldier will excel the civilian in
chances that if he is twenty-five he
will reach thirty-six; if he is thirty,
TO reach ~forty-one il he is thirty
FIVE, to reach forly-fvc; II he il
forty. to reach forty-mnc; If he is
forty-iiye. TO reach iifty-two; il he
is fifty, to reach fifty-siS; il he is
ffty-iye. to reach sixty or If he Is
sixty, to reach sixty-thrce.
Mr.. Phelps has made elaborate
mortality tables showing these con-
illusions, based on an estimated
death list Of $4,000 out Of $780,
600 engaged during the first year Of
the war. However, this estimate Of
deaths is based OIL the rates Of thc
Union army during the Civil war.
