The proposal of the Peoples' Power
League (W. S. U'Ren) to provide for
a commingling of legislative and exec
utive authority by giving tho Govern
or a voice and a vote in the Legisla
tive Assembly with the sole right to
introduce appropriation bills Is an ab
solute departure from one of the basic
principles of constitutional goveru-
,nient a departure so dangerous as to
menace the welfare of the state. Somo

their offices, but when elotneu wltn

WHY A TOWN SHOULD HAVE A
CHAUTAUQUA.
Every town in the United States
which is holding a genuine chnutaii
qua, Independent of outside dictation,
could tell without half trying, why
every other town should have a chan
tauqua and would have only to nraw
on their own experiences lor insir
reasons. Of the 1,000 chautaunuas
held each year in this country, one
halt of them are independent assem
blies nnd in this case they occupy
about fts permanent, and almost as Im
portant a position as the public
schools. To tell 'these towns, why 6
chantauqua should be held would be
useless.
To the citizens of the other thou
sands of communities where the influ
ence of a genuine chantauqua has not
been felt, or in those other still more
unfortunate' communities where so
cnllfld chautauquas have been put. on
w'th the sole purpose of lining the
wickets of outside parties, tho ques
tion is not so easily answered.

This method answers much better:

fifteen feet wide, at the bottom and
five feet on top. A remarkable cir
cumstance with refereiico to this odd
lake Is the size of the stones used In
its construction. Inasmuch ns the whole
of them varies In weight from three
tons to 100 pounds. There is abun
dance of stones in Wright county, but
surrounding the lake to the extent of
five or ten miles there are none.
No one lias any Idea os to the means
employed to bring these stones to the
spot or ns to who constructed this lake.
Arouiid the entire lake is n belt' of
woodland half h mile in length com
posed of oak. With thfs exception the
country Is n rolling prairie. The trees
must have been planted there at the
time of the building of the wall. In
the spring of the year 1850 there was
n great storm, ami the ice on the lake
broke the wall In several places. The
farmers In tho vicinity were obliged to
repair the damages to prevent inunda
tion. Tbe lake occupies a ground sur
face of 2,800 acres. The depth of the
water is as great ns twenty-five feet.
The water Is clear and cold; the soil
Is sandy and loamy. It Is a singular
fact that no one has been able to as
certain where tho water comes from
nor where it goes, yet it is always
fresh and clear. New York Tress.
