NOT A SUCCESS
Experiments With Electric Head
lights Show They Art
Harmful.
St. Paol, Sept. 8.—Exhaustive tests
which hare just been completed on tbe
Northern Pacific lilies in Montana give
the electric locomotive headlight an
other black eye and result in toe same
general conclusion which followed the
recert (»reat Northern tests The ex
pert-s rejK)it that the treuiendnoun shaft
of white light makes the darkness
outside of the light zone even more in
tense, and has the effect of lessening
the quickness of the men to observe
signals and corroborate their colors.
Thee tests were made in the pre
sence of general officers of the road
and members of the Montana rail
way commission. Forty employes
were examined with reference to the
effect upon their eyesight of the bril
liant l* ams of tbe electric headlight,
both of oncoming trains and as seen
from the engine cab. The conclusions
of the railway officers aie summarized
in the following extract from the re
port of the division superintendent:
"The fiction of the intense rays from
the electric headlight renders any sig
nal carried invisible until the engine
is within 500 feet of tbe observers.
The signals may then 1h seen, but
their colors cannot be detected for a
space of from two or three seconds.
The full view of the signals is there
fare of but three or four seconds du
ration. This is too short a time to
liermit observers to confirm the color
and significance of tbe signal carried
"The use of the electric headlight
does not increase the danger to the oc
cupants of the engine cab. It would
appear that it does not inhrfere with
tbe view of signals being approached
but the color of night signals is no
mure distinct than with a good oil
head light.
"The effect of running against an
opposing electric headlight is to so
blind the vision of the enginemen as tc
apparently increase the darkness of
the space .outside of the beam of
light. Tnis results in increased dan
er to meu whose duties require them
to go into and out of tbe zone ot
white light."
It is understood that result of the
tests will be rigid orders requiring en
giuuM in clear to blind their lights and
modifications of tbe nse of the electric
headlight on all road engines-

How Large Sums of Money are
Accumulated from Sm«B
Savings.
Cwlar Rapids, la., Republican: Alt
Iowa traveling man has been mnch
praised in tbe papers for an achieve
went of bis own. It was the comple
tion of a $13,000 saving fund. He is
still in the prime of life. Some
twenty years ago he made up his mind
that he was going to save some money,
for his old age,instead of depeuding on
some one to jiension him. To achieve
a fund of $12,000 in twenty years
would require a saving of about $7 a
week, a saving which Is not within the
reach of every man, of only a few, in
fact. But when a man begins to
save he will find that the habit,
grows on him. It becomes constantly
easier. He will find opportunities to
multiply his savings by iudicious in
vestments. When be has the first
few hundred dollars saved he may
find it possible to buy a lot which
will increase rapidly. We have
never seen a man who starts out to
save who did not iind such oppoitun
it ies. The main thing is to get in the
habit. We have in mind a man who
has earned 110 a week upward, but
never in excess of 20 a week, who in
less than fifteen years has acquired a
property worth nearly $10,000. He
•fr ./• v:-: V ..
we will be prepared
has a trading instinct which everyone
cannot possess, or does not possess.
The main tiouble is that the aver
age man does not think it worth while
to enter ojion stich a career. Because
he cannot lay aside a great deal each
week he thinks that it will never
ainount to much that he in do. Th it
is a prevalent mistake. But every
fond has had a small neginniug, in tbe
way of savings. No one should tie
discouraged because he cannot begin
in a big way. Too many cut off all
thought of such things, until they can
begin in a big way.
A man should bear in mind that, so
soon as he has saved |::i)0 and invested
it he has made one week's salary every
remaining year of his life, and that
without labor. The 00 invested at 5
per cent will yield him $15 a year
which is an aveiage week's salary, as
salaries go. In other words the $:i00
does a week's work for hiui and does it
every year.

September 27 Opening Day of
Gorgeous Palace at
Mitchell.
Mitchell, Sept. 8.—On Sep temper the
2?tb the gorgeous corn palace at
Mitchell will again throw open its
doors, and tbe uiarvelously beaatiful
structure will be dedicated to King
Corn and his proud satelites—all of
the grains and grasses—that swld to the
great agricultural wealth of South
Dakota.
No annual eTent Is of sach vast im
portance to toe state: for here is assem
bled —iu rich profusion—the variou^
products of our productive soil, evi
dencing to the world at large its gTeat
fertility and the glorious possibilities
for additional husbandmen to "come
in and sup with us."
The corn palace itself is a marvel of
beauty and it is decorated within and
without with native products of the
soil, corn being the chief article used.
To the assembled thousands it is truly
a revelation, and its ornate beauty ap
peals to tbe masses. Add to this the
stellar attraction supplied by the
United States Marine band of Wash
ingtoo, D. C.. and the numerous high
cl.iss vaudeville acts by a corps of fa
mous artists, and the ccrn palace be
comes "a thing of beauty and a joy
fotever."
NOTARIES COMPLAIN
Judge Witten Bars Notaries Ex
cept in Registration
Counties.
Pierre, Sept. 8.—The notaries of
Noith Dakota are appealing to the sec
retary of state to cart v the matter of
the ruliug of J. W. Witten to the secre
tarv of the intern and secure a rever
sal if possible. The ruling 6huts out
attorneys except iu the counties where
registration takes pliice, and the out
siders want to get in. Followng the
lead of the North Dakota notaries,
such officials in this state are begin
ning tc appeal to Secretary Pol ley to
take the matter up with the interior
department in their behalf. As Mr.
Polley is out of tne city, it cannot be
said wbata ction he will take, but it is
not likely that he will attempt to in
terfere in the matter, and the chances
would be very strong that the inter
ior department would not make any
move in the case even if appealed to,
as Mr. Witten haa cnarge of that
branch of the work, and is formulat
ing a rule which fiom experience he
lielieves to be the best for all par
ties.
