The dispatch says: "Principally he urged the injection of conscience into ‘ big Business,' as an antidote to Socialism. He also reiterated his arguments against the perpetu ation of great fortunes.” He argued that further laws were not neces sary, but: "T h e solution lay in the arousing of business men to their responsibilities to the community at large.” Since when has the idea of responsibility of the individual to the community at large been a part of the individualistic scheme of things? It is one of the toundation stones ot Socialism, as it is the fundamental principle laid down by the Great Teacher And how long have great fortunes, honestly (that is, lawfully) acquired, been set down in the individualistic book as a great evil? But when the Vice- President of the United States urges righteousness and "conscience” as an "antidote for Socialism,” he is certainly complimenting the Social ists without intending it. _______________ Louis Suplee is receiving a visit from bis daughter, Miss Suplee, who arrived from California on the 19th. Max Dement made a business visit to Marshfield on the 22nd. Our marshal arrested three drunk en men in town Wednesday, which helped swell the city’s exchecquer $30.00 in fines. Mrs. I. T.

The pupils of grades first to fourth of our public school, gave an entertainment in two acts at the Unique. It was Scenes from Fairy land, interspersed with sketches from Mother Goose, in which forty of tbe tots took part, and was a de cided success from start to finish. For tbe drilling of the children their teachers deserve a good deal of praise. OBSERVER. Fishtrap and Vicinity The farmers of Fishtrap are very busy rushing their plowing and seeding now.

Curious luminous circles or arcs, del icate and perfect in form, have been seen over the craters of Vesuvius and Etna—one at each explosion. A study o f this strange phenomenon has been made by Mr. Frank A. Ferret, who has witnessed it hundreds of times, and he concludes that these “ flashing arcs.” as he calls them, are really sound waves made visible for an in stant, the rate o f propagation o f the images seeming to be about that of 1 sound.
