, This has been an usually good year for
elections, first we had the , primary, then
the city, then the county now .the second
school election. Unless something out of
the ordi ary happens the election yester
day closes the list and the next will be
the city election next March which owing
to the fact that the citizens of munici
palities may change their charters and
make laws for themselves, may result in
quite an interesting feature.
According to the American Manufact
urer, the coal deposits of North America
are estimated to conU in nearly as much
as those of Europe, or 681,000,000 tons,
but even this gigantic figure is completely
dwarfed by Asia's wealth of coal, as to
which it is at present impossible to make
an even approximate estimate. China
more especially seems to possess inex
haustible supplies, and a German scien
tist has put the coal deposits of the pro
vince of Shansi alone at 1,200,000,000
000 tons.
One hundred years ago the rustling of
a lady's silk dress was attributable to the
high quality of the silk; it' now rustles
owing to the impregnation of 56 per cent
of tin salts. Epsom salts, which has
hitherto been mostly employed for medi
cal purposes, are widely adopted forgiving
weight to flannel. Similarly, the old
fashioned pure linen used as table cloth
is now largely substituted by cotton filled
with china clay, starch, and size, while
linen cellars are also founded upon base
materals witn simply a linen facing.
Ex.
The largest farm in the world is own
ed by Don Terrazas of Chihuahua, Mexico
It comprises 8.000,000 acres and its
owner and employes are half a day in
crossing his estate. He owns 100,000
horses. 700.000 sheep, and brands 300
000 calves annually. He conducts great
slaughter and packing houses and owns
his own refrigerator lines. He employs
40.000 laborers and lives in a palace
worth $2,000,000. being the richest man
in Mexico and the wealthiest farmer in
the world.
John Alexander Dowie. whose antics
have filled the papers of Chicago for
weeks, is a great failure as a prophet
and, if his enemies in Zion city are to be
believed, he is a failure in all other res
pects. He seems to have bankrupted
Zion and many of his followers, by his
extravagance, bad business management
and riotous living. Having set his breth
ren by liio eti 4ii 'uualcu uy' tue
whole community, we have doubtless the
beginning of the end of th s remarkable
religious delusion. Dowie's first mistake
was reincarnating Eiijah. who was en
tirely unlike the modern fakir who as
sumed his name. Elijah was a plain old
farmer who had no money and cared
nothing for it. Neither did he dress in
silk gowns or live in $100,0(0 houses or
galivant over the country with a troop of
unattached women playing the "adopted
daughters" racket. Elijah's best suit was
a sheepskin coat, his habits were simple
and inexpensive and he was never charg
ed with any crooked dea ling. Should he
come to earth now, his first act no doubt,
would be to "swat" the pompous fraud
who scandalized his name, just as he
smote the false prophets of Baa! at the
foot of Mt. Carmel. Dowie should, have
reincarnated a Jonah, as he is certainly
the worst Jonah that evqr gold-bricked a
lot of credulous fools. Crestfield, the
"Holy Roller," has passed in, Dowie is
about to do the same. What freak creed
are we to expect next? Athena Press.

many patrons in every department, a reputation we point to with pardon
able pride, we want, now, to advise you that we have opened our soda
fountain with a new line of crushed fruits and fruit juice which excel any

has never tried one of our delicious ICE CREAM SODAS we find a hun
dred who have, and do, and always will, because they war.t the best and
appreciate a fine article. We have some new flavors this year which are
going to be of universal favor on account of their delicate flavors. Hoping

We are respectfully,
