Concerning Salt. Don’t pity the country boy too much. There- are times when h!s “disadvantages’’ help him. If an almost learned doctor in this city had been laid up in a farm house with pneumonia when a lad of 10 and had read the travels of Winwood Reade and Livingstone while convalescing, he would not have grown So wildly excited over the amount of salt used in modern cookery. “Come and eat with us,’’ said the hospitable Sudanese whom Reade encountered, “we are going to have salt for dinner today.” It was the greatest of luxuries, yet they must have secured it in pretty large quantities. The Manyema cannibals whom Livingstone sojourned for a season told him that human flesh “is salty, and makes us dream of the dead,” yet not one of these mildmannered epicures had ever tasted a white man. They banqueted entirely on their brothers in black. Finally, the country boy might tell the near-savant that the yarn of Fijians refusing to devour salty missionary is on all fours with the Western story that coyotes will not east a Mexican, because he uses so much chili sauce. Both tales are interesting—and there Is not the slightest evidence that either is true. Please pass the salt.—Chicago Journal. . Private Street Oiling. Parties residing on streets not included in the city oiling contract should see or phone Harry Gallagher if they desire to have their street oiled while the contractor is in Rensselaer with his street oiling outfit.-—M. J. EHBERT, Contractor m-29 Electricity on Trains Those who wonder how the electricity used for lighting trains, operating fans in coaches and tlite like is generated should know that it comes from a turbine generator which is usually geared to the axle of the car, the motion of the train operating it and supplying the current at no cost but that of “deterioration of machinery.”— Chicago Journal.

A new grain elevator, to cost $15,000, is to be erected at Ade, Newton county, to take the place of the one recently destroyed by fire. Next week is to bb the big time in Chicago at which the gentleman from Oyster Bay is expected to occupy a prominent place in the spotlight—otherwise, the Bull MooseRepublican conventions will be held in the Windy City, and it is expected that there will be "a big blow” on Lake Michigan.

James J. Hill, “empire builder of the northwest,’’ aged .78 years, who underwent an operation Saturday at his home in St. Paul, Minn., died Monday, following an illness of 12 days' duration. Mr. HUI was a native of Ontario, Canada, where he was born in 1888, the son of an Irish-Canadian farmer. Coming to the United States at the age of 18 and going to the then great northwest he secured a job as clerk and stevedore at St. Paul, Minn., with the Dubuque and St. Paul Packet Co. For 15 years following he studied transportation, and then started a freight carrying company of his own. He had more to do with the building up of the great northwest than any other one man and became known as the greatest railroad magnate of modern times. The sporting fraternity of Indianapolis had arranged to pull off Monday night, the eve of the big auto races, a “boxing contest” with Jack Dillon and “Gunboat” Smith, both professional prize fighters, as the attraction. Mayor Bell had given his consent to the bout, but the law and order people appealed to Governor Ralston who wrote a letter to the prosecuting attorney and to the sheriff of Marion county and advised them to take such action as “was necessary to stop the proposed “exhibition.” The prosecutor secured a temporary injunction, but the fight promoters attempted unsuccessfully to get around this through legal technicalities by taking a change of venue to another court. Pending this action the sheriff replied to Governor Ralston’s letter and informed the chief executive that he could rest assured that no fight would take place, and it didn’t. Farm Cleanup Day Suggested. Here is another thought: Some one has suggested that we have a “farm cleanup day” the same as we have in towns and cities. That is a good idea, for there are many farms scattered throughout the country w’hich need “dressing up” a bit just the same that residence property in town needs, overhauling. Look over your plantation, if you happen to have one, and try to make it as attractive as possible; it will be a source of pride to you, and wi(l be an advertisement of your place that you Could not hope to gain otherwise.—Lufkin (Texas) News.
