The flag that caused such u hurrah at Me-
Cook on the evening of July 3 , which was
suspended from the Citizens' bank and the
Famous clothing house , of that city , ut the
time evoking such cries as "Shoot It down ! "
"Tear the rng down ! " was received by ex-
liress by Governor Thaycr to-day , without
explanation or comment other than the in
scription on the reverse side of the tag that
mnrlcod the Hag's destination : "Fiom Jacob
bteinmctz. "
The Hag in question , pronounced the stars
nnd bars ut McCook , and which is biiid
to have set old soldiers and loyal
ritbcns theio wild with excitement , is somo-
wliut like an old rebel Hag In design. H i-f
made of three stiipcs of red. white and blue
cloth , about two feet In width und perhaps
sixteen feet in length. In the upper right
liuiid corner Is set n squnropiece of red cloth ,
Imprinted on which is an eagle und a few
regulation stats , nnd attached to this is a
Bimill Hug of stars and stripes. Hut national
colors only wore used.
The Hag remained suspended from the
buildings stated about twenty minutes , when
it was torn down , the excitement there hav
ing grown so intense that It was un-
pafo to let it remain longer.

nro too obscure. For instance , com
plaint is mndo that n party has been elected
to the oftlco of school director who can
neither read nor write the English language ,
when , perhaps , the major portion of the resi

tieasurcis arc paying off bonds , whereas
such payment ought to bo muuo by the

more or less complicated are constantly re

Windmills For Kloctrio lighting.
Some time ago the inedibilities
of windmills for domestic electric
lighting were mentioned in scioneo ,
und lately the experiment has
boon prnetieully tried. Prof. lilyth
rend before- the Glasgow Philosophical
society a paper on the .subject , in which
he describes an experiment which ho
made last summer. the lighting of a
cottage in which ho spent his vacation
by a dynamo driven by a windmill , and
charging u btorage battery. The wind
mill used was an old-fashioned type ,
with four arms at right angles to oaoh
other , each of them thirteen feet long.
Tliero was no especial regulating de
vice. The d.\namo was belted directly
to the lly-wheel of the inill.andchargeit
twelve cells of .storage which supplied
the inde-cont lumiM in the cottage.
Prof. IJlylh had never u ed more limn
ton lainpat once , but ho could have
iiied more. With a good breeze , enough
electricity could bo stored in
half a day to supply light for four
evenings of three or four hours uneh.
The lamps u cd were of h-cundlo power.
When charging , the current passed
through a cut-out that would discon
nect thorn from the dynamo when it
ran below a certain speed ; BO the wind
mill couid bo allowed to run all the
time , charging the butlory when the
wind happened to bo htro'ng enough.
The current had boon used to run a
light turning lathe , and Prof. Bl.\th
had begun to nmlco a light carriage'
1)0 run by the stored electricity. The
paper opens to us a Held for ingenuity ,
comfort , and amusement in our home.- , .
Windmills much superior to that described -
scribed can bo readIv ! purchased , a
small dynamo can be bought or built at
little coat , and storage-batteries can bo
purchased or inudu. With them wo
could light our house economically ; our
light would bo bolter , cooler , and
healthier than gas or coal oil lamps ;
wlnlo the current could bo utilized for
running fans , sowing machines , etc.
Indeed , to the average American , with
some spare time and some small in
genuity , thoamusomontand instruction
of sucli a plant would moro than puv
