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.

Q'hayer received n letter from Mr. Stcinnitz
explaining the circumstances from his prem

pould not conceive why he should aid in set

school laws covering minor questions
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
dents of the school district are intelligent ,
native born citi/ens. The pertinent question
arising is , is hucb u party eligible to the of-

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

more or less complicated are constantly re

and have thorn become a part of the school

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
for its expense- .
