OUMUaa .peoltltr. a s a a a a a 1 a The Observer has often called attention to the importance of motive power, other than that engendered by human muscles, as an element in national,, state, county and individual progress To emphasize this the following figures are reproduced from vol VII part II 12 U. S. Census Bo- port The 612,264 manufacturing establishments in the United ! States, in 1900 operated 1 1,800,- 081 horse power In 1890 the 366,416 manufacturing estab lishments used 6,954,665 horse power. In 1900 steam was the motive power for 8,742,416 of the horse power used in the factories in the United States or 77.4 per cent of all the power used. Water furnished 1,727, 258 horse power or 15,3 percent of all the power used in manu facturing in the United Stales in 1900. Electricity was the motive power for 16,923 motors in 1900, with an aggregate horse power of 311,016 being 2 J--per cent of the total horse power used in the factories of the United States. J4j In 1890 the number of electric motors was not reported hut Ike horse power run by electricity was given at 16,669 showing an increase in ten years of 295,447 horse power, or nearly nineteen fold. The characteristic of electric- ity is that the energy can be generated by a water fall or mountain cataract and trans mitted ou a wire a longdistance and there epplied to a motor that will set machinery to whirl- General Stoessel is said to have been surprised when he was told General Kuropatkln had been defeated and driven back near Mukden. He . asked where the Russian commander was end hU surprise was un bounded when the information was given him. Moreover, he said be had sent out Chinese spies to securs information, and these informed him Kpropatkin was within 20-mtles of Port Ari' thur. It i not surprising that the Chinese deceived the Russian general, but it is astonishing that his home government did not acquaint him with the facts.1 He and his men were bravely' defending the place in hope i t a Everything yon want' want tor that SUNDAY MINN CR Is Awaiting Your Order at C.

Of this snm $29,084,080 has been given in the United States. Mr. Car negie baa thus founded 1290 libraries, of whioh 779 ere in this country. Those figures ere highly interesting. While some persons have been disposed to Criticise the steel magnate for giving so much for such par poses, it most be remembered he bad to struggle to get hold of the books he needed when a boy. He knows the benefits of libraries, and there can be no I doubt that in , every library founded by him many young flown will secure the self-educa-lion needed to enable them to take commanding positions in the world. 11 OUR 8PECIALTY Fall Line "Perferred Stock" Canned Goods.
