State Engineer, J. E. Maloney
was in the city tbs week and in
spected the new l»oiilevarde . He
thought the work done by our cit
izens was not only remark.ib*e but
highly creditable.
the democrats are jubli mt over
the convention going on in Chic
ago in the republican national com
mittee and among the leaders,
thinking it presages victory tor
them this fall. They will find that
they are reckoning without the
voters to back up their present
jubilant feeling. There may bi
ff is*, ent ions within the republican
ranks now but the people are not
ready to turn over the affairs of
the countrv to democracy.
When Judge Hen Lihdsev de
serted the democratic party to be
come a progressive republican
with the vice presidential nomina
tion in expectancy, he left just
such a vacancv in the democratic
ranks as one leaves in a pool of
water w hen he sticks his finger in it
and then contemplates the hole
left behind. When he started for
New York to consult with the Sage
of Sagamore Hill and on arriving
in Chicago decided that he must
stay there to settle the controver
sy there was a seismatic shock
experienced in several parts of the
but the earth continued
to revolve and the sun_ to
perhaps the stars sang together
as usual.
The republican national conven
tion will assemble in Chicago next
Tuesday. It will be the ex
iting one in the history of the par
ty but watch for the bright blue
sky when it adjourns. The deni
ocratic party hopes to thrive on
the dissentions instead of through
merit. It will meet with dis
appointments.
Among the names mentioned for
State Treasurer on the republican
ticket, is ibat of Guy C. Hardy of
('anon City. 'Hie party could
scratch the state over with a rake
and not get a better man for this
position. He is the personifica
tion of integrity, geniality and abil
ity. He is a thorough newspapei
man and as one of the best repre
sentatives of this boosting frater n
hy it is about time that it was rec-|
ogni/.ed in dealing out the offices
and no better representation of
the moulders of public opinion
can lie found in the state. Guy
has been a “hewer of wood and a
drawer of water” for years and he
has earned this distinction and
should receive the unanimous sup
port of the republican party. When
ever be has been weighed in the
balance of good deeds for the
State he has never been found
wanting. The pepublican party
could confer no greater honor on
itself than by thus honoring him
and be will measure up to every
requirement of the position and ao
C induct the affairs of the office
that it will bring lasting dignity
and glory to the office. The rep
üblican press af the state should
BOOST for him for he is pre-em
inently worthy.

Moses, Electrician.
That electricity must have been
known to the ancients has been many
times asserted, but now comes for
ward an electrician in Munich—Mr.
Stadelmann —who has been in times
past an archaeologist, to assert that
he found in Rgypt, in buried wails, in
dications denoting the use of electric
lamps, says a writer in Harper's
Weekly. He claims that Moses
brought electricity from Egypt, and
that there are Biblical paragraphs
which will bear him out in his state
ment that lightning rods were in use
in the temple at Jerusalem. Stadel
mann believes that the serpent of
bronze of Moses was nothing more or
less than an ordinary llghtnfng rod
such as is in use today.
He points out, further, that the Ark
of the Covenant, made as It was of
wood and adorned inside and out with
gold, constituted a veritable Leyden
jar which communicated with a light
ning rod on the roof, and that it was
ao arranged that under determined
conditions it could be charged with 1
electric fluid and produce the death 1
of any ignorant person daring to en
ter the sacred precincts of the ark 1
without necessary precautions.

Tha latest project to make Rome
a aeaport Is to lay out a port 35 feet
Jeep near Caatel Fuaaro, formed by
running two jetties out Into the sea

Ymulden, Holland. Prom the port will
lead a ship canal 15 miles long and
200 feet wlda and 27 feet deep. At
Rome shipping accommodations will
be laid out In the river below the city
and this will be connected with the
navigable part of the Tiber by a aya
tem of locks. It will coat about $15,.
300,000 to carry out the project. Op
ponenta of the Idea claim It will not

That ■ why those candidates have to
keep travelln' around tha country ao
much. They have to prove that thav
ion’t look like some of tha n| c .
turea or ’em that get into tha na
pern.”
In soma reminiscences of tba late
Roer war Colonel Kekewich, who aa
gallantly defended Kimberley for IPS
days, tells the following story;
One day he waa approached by a
private, who asked;
“Colonel, when do you expact wi,
are going to get something to eatf
"Eat!” exclaimed the colonel. "Uhl
you join the army merely to get soma
thing to eat?”
"Well, tbat’B about th# aisa of It,”
replied the soldier.
Here,” said the colonel, calling aa
officer, “give this man something to
eat, and then have him shot.”
The officer understood the joke aad
replied:
"All right, colonel.”
The private, however, exhibited ao
alarm, and, turning to the officer,
said:
801 l me a ham, cap'n, stew up a
couple of chickens, bake two or thre#
pounds of potatoes, fetch a gallon o'
beer and load yer guns! with auch
inducement, the man who wouldn’t ho
willing to die la a blithering idiot."
A hearty meal was prepared for
the soldier and the threatened execu
tion never came off.—Tlt-Btta
