Pent and lignite , or wood real , are its only mineral fuels , Thus , as in Ireland , the utilization of the former is an important na tional problem. And a company haf been reiently formed under the title of "La Socicfa per I'lTtilixxaniunc dei Combustilibi Ilalieni , " to utilize pent and lignite for the production of electricity. It in proposed lc rreet a generating nlatit > n at Tod- tnno , near Luke , Mrenla. The com pany has been started at .Milan will a capital of m',000. It may hi noted that the price of electricity in Italy carries from (5.72d ( to S.Goi per unit. It is cheapest in Honu and Parma , and dearest in Genoa Turin and Palermo. In thus ulil r/imj one of her natural assets ii i be production of electricity , Hal ; s setting an example which migh \\ell be followed in Ireland , \\hicl is similarly rich in peat. Londoi Globe. COUNTLESS EDITIONS. The man in the moon was smilinj in the same old way. "Dearest , " whispered the tal voutb i the duck trou ors , ( 'tha kiss 1 just gave you reminded me o a picture.

"Canaries have served an odd pin pose this season , " said a dealer i birds. "They have been used as on of the features in house and elnire decorations. At weddings , con mencemcnts and social affairs of a kinds where lavish decorations wci in order cages of canaries have bee hung here and there among tli flowers and foliage. Most of the ; birds wore rented for the occasioi In the spring and early sumnu the demand for canaries as part ( a decorative scheme was so grei that 1 kept more than a dozen exti birds on hand for renting purposes , RECORD GAME BAGS. To kill on an a\erage of 100 P c gian hares a day is a record we worth being pronnd of. Hunters i the Argentine Itepublic have baggi this number in a day many a tim But it is due more to the mnltipli i v of the hares than to good mark maiiihip. There are snob mimho OL these animals in that country th in some regions they overrun t ! place. GOING AND COMING. "What's that noise ? " asked t : vtcitor in the apartnlont-house. "Probably some one in the dei st's rooms on the lloor below gettii n tooth out , " said the host. "But it seems to come from t floor above. " "Ah ! then it's probably the PC leys' baby pelting a tooth in. " Philadolpbh Ncarlnp Its Quarter Century The Christian Home Orphan- nge of Council Blntl'e , Imvn , is earing its qnarlrr century of orh for orphan , destitute and III i i-1 t-l children.

The Home is large and varied : i its departments , hiiving large niin unildingH , and in its work it mbraces not only the regular orh of a childrens'lioine and the oiiBliint placing of homeless cbil- ren in private , Christian families , nit it also conducts a department r hospital for deformed and af- , ieted children ; a department fur ged , helpless women , and a de- artment for deHtitnte widows vilb children who need temporary ary and immcdintf assistance. The flome also conducts its own chool , and , IIH fust IIB means will ermit. other industrial depart- lentB are beinn added for the eiiching of trades to such chil- ret ; as are physically deformed , hereby rendering it impossible to ilace them in private families , but , vho , notwithstanding , can become elf-supporting. The value and importance of .vork for thin hitherto sadly neg- ected class , who have been left to . row up in vice , a constantly in- reiiHing source of expense to the tale in court costs , elc. , Cannot be estimated , and should appeal to the learts of nil who are in sympathy with neglected children. It will well repay anyone to vihit this great { institution , which is open to visitors every day in the year.

It Has Grown Some On August , 1S5-1 , John Oal houn was appointed surveyoi general of Kansas and Nebras ka Territories , His first repor of completed surveys was macl < the 20th of the present monthii 1850 , and was addressed to lion Thomas A. Ilendricks , commis sioner of the general land office The approved surveys compris ed a strip of country extending along the Missouri river to tin Nebraska line , and embraced fo the most part the counties o Atchison , Doniphnn , Hrowntln , east half of Nemalia. a smal corner of Jackson , the greate part of Jefferson and all o Leavenworth a n d Wyamlotte except Indian and military res ervations. Calhoun's map o the two territories , made a that time , shows that Kansa had but tlireo towns which b considered worthy o f beiti ] marked Atchison , b e a v e n worth and Wyandotte. In tlii i 10 respect , however , Kansas wa considerably ahead of her twi sister , Nebraska , which was no represented on the map by 1 single town or postoftice. The Preacher's Pay. Separation ot church and State is ad mi ruble from every point of view except fiat > .f the minister. At tlu- Wisconsin Methodist Conference it wan "aid that twenty pastors of tii.U denom ination in the State received less than ( our hundred dollars a year ; fifty seven not over six hundred ; and that , while the cost .of living bad increased forty percent. , the preacher's pay had actually decresed. In Indiana the average salary is said to be under seven tiundrcd a > ear , with but a small raise of late years to off set much higher living ex. penses. In many other churches and States a similar condition is found. Trjing to meet expenses that li.ive increased four-tenths with an income that has risen only one-tenth must tend to disturb the parson's sense of proportion Considering social demands that are abligatory upon him , there are very few outside the slums who work closer to the jread line and have had less share in the country's enhanced prosperity than the country preacher. lie is , as a class , in the economically absurd position of offering his services lor what ever the recipients choose to give. It is not.'i.s much a sign of religious decadence as of en. during human nature that they don't choose to give very much , We should not quite like tc see a trades union of ministers but we do not think it would be spiritually less savory than the personal begging , the donation parties and so on by which UK church committee seeks to coax from reluctant pockets enougl money to overcome the perpet ually threatening salary clelicit , Alarket Letter. Kansas City Stock Yards Nov. 4 , VJ07. Last week closet with moderate gains from tin low time on all classes of cattle. The run was only about half ai heavy as in previous weeks , am although the demands of packer : are much reduced since the be ginning of the late finiuicKi stringency , advices of commis sion men to shippers to hol < down marketing appeared t i have solved the problem of pre venting any further declines fo the present. Today , however .he run is 14,000 head , almost i lormal Monday run for Novem bcr , and too many under the cir cumstanccs. Light weight steer and butcher grades are sellini teady , stockcrs and feeders als steady to strong , but few heav steers have been sold up to noon and bids were 10 to 20 lower tha the close of last week on them top up to noon , $5.80. Som light weight steers sold at 54.4 to $5. and cows and heifers ran gcd from $2.40 to $3.75 , canner dull at $1.50 to $2.25 , bulls $2 t $3.25 , calves firm , veals up t $5.75 , heavy calves $2.75 to1 stockers mainly at $3 to $4 , e > tremcs both above and below feeders $3.40 to $4.40 , althoug some choice feeders sold las week around $5. While th money situation is still unsettlet conditions are better than the were last week , and trade is ac justing itself to the new method ; Hog markets improved steadil ast week , and prices openc strong today , but weakened : the close , top $5.'JO , bulk $5. ( to $5.80. The run last week \v ; less than 40,000 head , supply t < day fiOOO. As in cattle , the ho market will not stand any heav supply at this time without sa riticing values , as it is said th ; packers have determined to r strict their operations for tl present. A good shipping d mancl continues to be the stron feature of the market , sliipmen of hogs for eastern slaughti during October amounting to 37 000 head , as compared with 70 ( head same month last year. Supply of sheep and lambs hi kept up liberal , and prices a rapidly declining. Run is SOOO today , market 15 to 25 cents losver. Best killing lambs now bring around $0.25 , wethers and yearlings $5.25 , ewes $5. Pros pects favor continued heavy re ceipts for another week or two and large numbers of sheep and lambs are being taken to the country at prices much below two or three weeks ago , lambs at $5 to $5.75 , wethers and yearlings $4.50 to $5 , ewes $3.50 to $5 75.

"o cent * Hold b , A.G.Vnnncr , dnie- L'irt. . # - Mow and Then All those who participated in the matinee musical given by Mrs. T. J. Gist last week came in ior their full share of praise from the more than SO guestsami all of the participants were en titled to the nice things said of them tor the program was ex cellent. What a God given gift is u beau tiful voice , and what a beautiful voice Mrs. Robt. Cain , jr. . of Stella has. There is more than power , tone and timbre to it , there is that indescribable soul quality behind it that men call temperament ; a quality that brings a choking sob into the throat and which inspires pure , true , courageous aspirations. When Mrs. Cain closed the program last Friday with Dan- nah's beautihil "Cradle Song , " her effort was greeted with that best of all tributes , perfect sil ence , and not an eye was there among all the guests that was not wet with tears. The Tribune wants to speak for some kind of game on Thanks giving. Foot ball is out of the question and no game seems to fit in with the day like foot ball , However , basket ball is not such a bad substitute and the high school has a rattling good team. Why wouldn't it be a good itlen to get Ilumboldt down on Thanks- 'giving ' , or , better still , have sey jeral of the near by schools send | their players and hold a sort of a basket ball tournament in the ilternoon ? No doubt a large turkey fed crowd would attend and it would furnish not enl ) I amusement for our people bin , would help out the finances o the high school atheletic board - * I ! There is a desire on the part o 'all ' the high schools in the dis , trict to hold the next track nice in Falls City. There is no othe city in the district so accessible ' is there any other city wbicl all the district can reach withou changing cars and losing an ex \ tra da } ' . The high school boy : ( have been discussing the situa tion for several days but it seem that we will lose out because wi .I have no track. A race track ii I or near the city would fill a lonj 1 felt want. Auburn , Pawnee ' ' Wymore , Hiawatha , Salem , ant in fact all our neighbors have an nual race meets.

' HECK Judge Wallace , one of the cir cuit judges of Kansas City , is about 200 years behind his time , lie has started a crusade against working o n Sunday and h a s closed all cigar stands , barber bopsj meat markets , grocery stores , theaters , and similar pub lic places. The judge is a bigot and a very narrow one at that. Within four blocks of bis court room are hundreds of houses of prostitution. Judge Wallace lias had many cigar girls arrestedyet not one word docs he utter against the fallen persons who so public ly offer their wares. He threat ens to close ever ) ' theater in the city and thcrcb ) ' deprive many working people of their only op portuuity of recreation , amuse ment and instruction. We don't know Judge Wallace , but it's dollars to marbles that he is a narrow , bigoted crank ; one of the truly good whose morals make him too good to call this wicked old world his home , and who believes his more liberal neighbor is on the straight road hell. to _ _ _ _ _ Never before last week has the > great west shown its dominance in the world's affairs. For years we have been taught the great ness of Wall Street. For years New York has been named the money center of the world. But last week Wall Street went to the bad and New York as a money center looked like 30 cents. Eastern bankers were wiring to the west for money and the west was telling them to go to. Mor gan , llarriman , Stillman and the rest of the bitf fellows met and cussed and discussed. Stocks went down and interest went up and the devil was to play gener ally. But the cables next morn ing told of millions of gold com ing from Europe and things looked up and the flurry passed away. But the best of it was that the European gold was com ing over to pay for pork , just hog , that his royal nibs had been buying from our pig stys. It was coming to pay for wheat that our English cousins had found out in Kansas and Ne braska. It was coming to pay for dressed beef that we made out of corn and alfalfa and sent across the pond to fill the belly of his Lordship And so the west is at last on the map. and the wheat fields , the feed lots , the pig stys , have become the money centers of the world. Falls City is fast becoming the city of squirrels. T w o have taken up their abode with Dr. Yutxy , four have built nests in the Reavis block , and several lj others are scattered about town. 3 If these little animals are given t ! reasonable protection a n A the . ! small boy with the air rifle and , nigger-shooter is suppressed , it 1 won't be many years until all c lawns and trees are alive with a them. Nebraska City has hunt - t dreds of squirrels for the children have been taught to protect them ind not molest them. There is 10 animal prettier or more grace ful than our native squirrel and : his is a good time to teach the youngsters to be kind to all ani mals and especially our squirrels.

Wanner , Crippling the Cripples In September , 1902 , a railroad employee in Michigan had both legs mangled while coupling cars. In February of the next year his attorneys commenced suit for damages. The case was tried in October , a little over a year after the in jury. The jury awarded Slo.OOO damnsfes. The railroad appealed to the Supreme Court , which tri bunal. in March , 1904 , remanded the case for new trial. This new trial was had in February. 1905 , and the jury gave a verdict of $20,000Again the railroad ap pealed to the Supreme Court , which in May. 1906 , again order ed a nev trial. But on rehearing the Supreme Court changed its mind and affirmed the judgment ot the lower court. Meantime , the railroad had been reorganiz ed. So , in January , 1907 , it v.as necessary to b yin suit against its bondsmen t > c..icct . tin : jmlg- mcnt. In April , 1907 , the trial jmg.ve jii'ljim ; ajruin.st the bondsmen ) .H d the defendants promptly .ijj , > eii < l to the Supreme Court Five \ ears and one month after the injury this judgment was affirmed by the court of last re sort , and the injured man sees some ground for hoping that , after the usual argument for a rehearing and appeal to the United States Supreme Court , he may receive enough money to pay his law expenses and have a little left. left.The The above clipping from the Saturday Evening Post gives an adequate idea of the position of some of the litigants in Richard son County. There are cases in court now wherein certain of our farmers have been trying for six years to obtain compensation from the Burlington railroad for dam ages suffered , but have not been able as yet to ret their cases tried for the first time. If these cases should be tried the railroad would take them to the Supreme court and delay them two or three years longer. Is it any wonder that people lose patience ?
