PURIFICATION OF WATER.
Nikola Tesla Believe# It Can Dona by an Electrical Process* Nikola Tesla, who is here arranging for the manufacture of apparatus for his wireless telegraph system, has interesting ideas about many things. Undoubtedly he is a brilliant electrician, capable of much useful achievement. He is highly imaginative,as all original investigators are of necessity, for there could be no creation without the creative mind. It does not follow that his imaginings are all vain, not by any means, though it is natural that his fancy might take unwarranted flights to Mars or other objects in remote space. Mr. Tesla is especially interested in an electrical process for purifying water, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. The project is feasible—at least from a scientific point of view—and it la to be hoped he will be able to make It praotiaable in both the mechanical and economical senses. If the thing can be done on a large scale as cheaply as water can be filtered it will prove a boon to all mankind. In respect to the water supply of Pittsburg, however, Mr. Tesla's idea is not of immediate Import. He is engrossed in perfecting the wireless telegraph—an undertaking that will tax his resources, material and mental, for some time. Pittsburg must be content with filtration for the present. It will be glad to get rid of 98 per cent of impurities after a long experience in taking its water unrefined, though the people will live in the hope that some day Mr. Tesla will take away the other 2 per cent of microbes and give them water pure and vivified.

Comment I And Stofy.
Judge West: "Tire decision of the supreme court to the effect that jurors shall receive only two dollars for a day's service, even if they serve twen-ty-four hours, will make very little difference in this county where the costs are closely guarded. In some counties, however, it will cut quite a figure as jurors have received liberal and often extravagant allowances. In some counties jurors have been allowed mileage if they drove home ten miles every night during a case a month long, and 'pick up' jurors have also been allowed mileage. Nothing of the kind has ever prevailed here, however, and it has been seldom that extra allowance has been made for night service."
J. I. Miller:—"I ordered a rubber tire machine several months ago and was then on the waiting list about number two thousand. The other day I got a letter from a man in New York offering me twenty-five dollars for my place in line. If that doesn't indicate prosperity with a capital I am from Missouri. All the farmers are going in for rubber tires is what makes the demand."
F. T. Luse always manages to have some interesting relic on display in the window of his cigar store, but the star piece this week is just a little too ghastly. It is a piece of the rope]with which George Seybold committed suicide, and was furnished him by A1 Booher, of Darlington.
Alamo has a hermit who lives right in town, but who has nothing to do with any of her people. His name is Grimes and thirty-five years ago he was quite a beau in that community. He had a love affair with Sallie Schafer, however, and she married another. Then Mr. Grimes went into retirement and has remained there ever since. He will not go to the postoffice or stores, does not attend church, and usually goes abroad at night. When his mother died he did not atteni the funeral even, although he is said to have mourned deeply for her, as she is said to have been all in all to him durine the many years of his seclusion. Since her death his brother has lived in the house with the hermit, who is now getting to be an old man. Grimes does not even vote on election day, and everybody knows what this means in Ripley township.
Capt. George R. Brown: "This brass rule was taken from the worst rebel orint shop in the south during the war. It was the "Okalona States," and was published at Meridan, Miss. When our troops entered the town the editor fled but left his paper just ready to go to press and full of the most treasonable stuff you ever read. The boys knew of the piper and the first thing they did after getting into town was to throw the type and presses into the street. As my battery went over the wreck one of the men handed me this brass rule and I have kept it ever since. Meridan was a rebel hot bed and the town was burned that night in a rather peculiar manner. At the battle of Shiloh a member of the 14th Iowa was taken prisoner and had some money. This was not taken from him and when he reached Meridan with his guard he was almost starved. He asked the officer in charge to allow him to buy food at a tavern there, and the request was granted, an armed soldier accompanying him to the place. Arrived there he met the landlady and stated his case, offering to pay for food. Instead of giving it to him she reviled him in a most shameful manner, finally spitting in his face. He then left with the guard, first stating that he hoped to see her again under different circumstances He was soon exchanged and was in our victorious column when Meridan was taken. He improved the first opportunity of visiting the tavern where he had been abused, and finding the same woman in charge he deliberately set fire to the place. The flames were communicated to the other buildings and the town practically destroyed. Had the tavern keeper sold an Iowa prisoner food when he asked for it the town would probably have never been harmed."

THE NEW POOR LAW.
All Relief Is Now For a Period of Three Months.
The legislature of 1901 passed an entirely new poor law and repealed all previous laws, the act of 1901 being the only poor relief law now in force. Under its provisions the year is changed to a calendar year ending December 31st instead of November 30th as heretofore, all relief being given for a period of three months, and township trustees will make their reports quarterly to the county auditor one month later than usual. The reports will now be made for quarters ending Mirch 31st June 30th September 30th and December 31st of each year. The report for the present quarter will be extended one month from May 31st to June 30th This will make a four months' report and all poor claims will now be allowed by the board of commissioners only at their regular April, July, October and special December terms of each year.
Township trustees are also required to make an annual settlement of all poor relief given for the past calendar year at the January term of the board of commissioners.
Yearly Convention.
The yearly convention of the Montgomery county Sunday schools met last Friday in the First Presbyterian church. Attendance not large, but the sessions were unusually interesting. That veteran warrior,W. H. Levering, of Lafayette, added greatly to the day, by his stirring words and wonderful expositions of the Soripture. So also did Prof. Kenaston and T. A. Ballard by their stirring speeches. An elegant dinner well served was enjoyed at the Bobbins hotel. In the afternoon officers were elected as follow:
President—Wm. White. Vice-president—S. Paddock, Mace. Sec. and Treas.—Prof. Kenaston. The following resolution was offered and adopted: "Whereas, death has taken from us in most sad and lamentable form, our loved and honored brother and president, Geo. Seybold, this convention desires to put on lasting record our high appreciation of his noble life, our sorrow for his untimely end, our deep sympathy with his bereaved family and friends and our true regard for his lofty character and devotion to duty. We direct a copy of this resolution to be sent to the daily papers and entered on the minutes of the convention."
Miss Martin, of Kirkpatrick, sang a very sweet solo. The motto and keynote of the day was given by Brother Levering, and may well serve for more than a Sunday school convention. "The Remedy For a Vast Deal of Gambling is—to Know More."
