There is another danger con.
fronting the newspapers Of the
United States, and that Is that
there will hardly be a session of
congress in the future that an
attempt will not be made to
punish the newspap ers in some
way. Congressman throughout
the country, as well as United
States senators, have come to the
conclusion that newspapers are
afraid to criticise their acts, and
in order to prevent criticism they
will do everything possible to de.

BREAKDOWN At
THE light PLANT
Commutator To The Generator
Burned Out Friday Night And
Left Us In The Dark.

After eighteen years of SER
vice unequalled in any plant in
America as far as we have been
able to learn the big Dynamo at
power house quit work Friday
night at $50 o'clock. There
was no overload, although the
Chautauqua was in session and
while there was some electrical
disturbance in the elements, that
was not nearly SO severe as many
times had played around this
machine in the past. An inves-
tigation showed the damage was
to the commutator which is the
heart of dynamo. The man.
agement has not been able to
learn where repairs can be made
because the plant where the
machine was built is now being
operated by the government so
we are informed. A telegram re-
.ceived Tuesday morning stated
that new parts to take the place
of those damaged could be had
in six to eight weeks at the cost
of 5 100000 but no intimation
has been received as to when or
where the old could be repaired.
In the meantime search is be.
ing made in various cities for an
entirely new dynamo to fit the
requirements of the plant and
the community.

the original Turk was a grandson of
Noah. Though there were only eight
people in sthe ark when it was first
foated, there were nine, it is asserted,
when it landed at Mount Arrat. The
additional one was the eldest son Of
Japhet, born during the flood. His
name was Turk. A descendant in the
fourth generation, one Alindje Khan.
had two sons (twins) who were named
Tartar-Khan and Mogul-Khan. Tartar
was the father of the Turks; Mogul
was the father of the Mongols. Turks
and Mongols were thus closely related
by birth. and the wars which at once
broke out between them, and the rec
oscillations that speedily ensued, had
much Of the nature of family quarrels.
The Turks were the more frequently
triumphant, one Mongol throne after
another yielding to their arms. Not till
the Christian. era was well advanced
did the chronological name of these chill
dren Of Japhet appear in history.
