It will decline much faster now that a new railroad is assured. The general result of the munici pal elections in this state yesterday was faTorable to the Republicans There was much apathy and local questions overshadowed party issues at some jioints. In this city the Republicans gain twocouneilmen and trood ones at that. The seventh ward is redeemed and in the fourth ward Mr. Neff pulled through in spite of a determined fight against him Altogether the result of the election is a good sized straw showing which way the political wind is blowing in Indiana. The large majority vote yesterday in favor of electric light municipal ownership should not le regarded by council as an indication that the peo ple want to purchase the Light, Heat & Power company's plant, or that they want a new plant built at this time. There could be r worse time than the present selected for such action. The contract with the Ij. II. & P. company has about three years to run yet, and there is no telling what may be the situation at the end of that time JTuerts probably will be one or two -electric lines here and they may " be eonijietitors for electric lighting in this city. And, above al' Richmoud will have as much t Pa3 as she can stand for sever"1 years without the additional jtuen of an electric litfht enterprise. THE PHILIPPINES. Letter From a Soldier of the Thirtyfirst Regiment. Corrmpond'no Richmond Palladium. COTTA BATO, P. I., February 18, 11K10. It may interest some of the readers of the Palladiu m to hear from the country in which the 31st infantry is stationed. I will toll you about a town about ten miles from Cotta Bato, the headquarters of the second battalion of this regimeut. The town goes bv the queer name oi iimon Tacka," and is laid out for a large place. It is on the bauks of a larg river and is in a very beautiful place It was laid out bv the Spams manv years ago, and a road has been th rowed up from Cotta Bato through the swamps. It is very swampy between the two towns and would lie impassible in the wet se; sou it not ror that graue. lucre are narrow paths used by the natives for years from which if a person steps he would go under in the bog and never get out. But to tell you more about the town, mere is a tine church there and joining it are the walls of a large convent, but now burned out. The grounds around the brick and ston walls are thickly set in eoeoanut and banana trees, and the wide street make the place seem like Hono lulu, the paradise of the world Coeoanuts grow by the thousands and bananas are thick, but are not very good eating. The old Siviuish barracks are used bv the Filipinos for their headquar ters. Thev are very friendly here and will do anything for an American soldier. The old fort is not used and there is some talk of sending a company of soldiers there. Ine fort has a ditch about eight feet wide and six feet deep outside the outer wall. The outer wall is about live feet high and is plentifully supplied with loop holes. The fort on the inside of the wall is also supplied with loop holes through which to shoot if the enemy should get over the first wall. All above this is rooms for men and a good lookout so it would be impos sible to supprise them. Across the river is some of the tinest country in the island. It is high and dry while most of the country along the river is low and swampy, and the tide rises irom the uav up fc.uer river clear to the lakes. In walking along over the dry places along the river the ground seems hollow, and the government wagons jar the ground for yards around. Altogether this country is very strange and the peopia have strange ways. Almost every tribe is at war with som- other and it is very hard to get guides to go to different places. Several deer are in the mountains and we have very good eating. Chickens are plentiful and can be bought cheap. There are also wild chickens in th country. The regiment is scattered over the islands so that I can't tell just tow every company is getting along,

but all are sore at being sent down here to do garrison dnty. Everything is going on well, and I will close and write some other time. Mail is received about every twenty days down here.

Murray and Mack, the "Famous original Irish comedians," who, for many years have been the recognized leaders in their style of entertainment, will present their perennial success "Finnigan's Ball' at the Gennett on Thursday evening, May 3. It is quite safe to say that few, if any, have ever been produced in America that have stood the test of time so well. It has been several years since this eccentric and funny play was first presented by these comedians, vet. it is claimed, the present season shows the largest receipts in its history, which proved conclusively that the public, at least a biir percentage of it. like their staire fun served to them in plain unadulterated doses in large chunks without capsuls. This is certainly the way they get it when they see "Finnigan s Ball," for a more up-roarously funny hurrah knockabout comedy it would be hard to conceive. Charles Murray and Ollie Mack the stars, are both popular comedians and good producers, it is said that "Finigan s Ball" has been presented six different ways in six different days, so productive are they of new ideas. New lines, new business, newsituationsare constantly introduced which keeps the action of the piece incessantly bristling into new fun and always up to the hour with new ideas. Prices: 25, 50, 75.

They can not enjoy the sports of childhood, neither are they able to profit by school life. They are indeed to be pitied. But there is hope for them. Scott's Emulsion has helped such children for over a quarter of a century. Your doctor will tell you it b both food and medicine to them. They be jin to pick up at once under its me. Their color tmprovts, the flesh becomo more firm, the weight increases and an the full fife and vigor of childhood returns again. At all dimreisu SCOTT & BOWSE, Oana, N Y.

CRITICAL PERIODS tn Woman's Life Are Made Danger oua by Pelvic Catarrh.

Mr. Mathilda Eichier. Mra. Mathildo Kichter, Doniphan, Seb., saya : "I Buffered from catarrh for many year, but sine I have been taking Pe-rn-na I feel strong and well. I would advise all people to try Pe-ru-na. As I used Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin while I was passing through the change of life, I am positively convinced your beneficial remedies have relieved me from all my Ills." Pe-m-na has raised more women from beds of sickness and set them to work again than any other remedy. Pelvic catarrh Is the bane of womankind. Pe-ru-na is the bane of catarrh in all forms and stages.

GREEDY MACKEREL.

A Ccrglac ri anal Ike War it I once enjoyed the privilege of seeing an army of mackerel successfully cw ner a shoal of small fry lu a rooky shallow pool which was a cul de sac. The mackerel swam behind tlieir victims in serried ranks, a company of hungry, determined creatures, intent upon a gorging feast to which there need be no limit. They had followed the fry for miles mayle, merely swallowing one here and one tliere to V- -ep their appetites whetted. Now they i.ad cornered tnetu where there was v.- escane for their victims. No nLrt I: Uernian on the lookout for just such an opportunity was at hand to convert their triumph and feasting into captivity and Umeutatiou. They might teaM at will. And. ye gods, feast they did: No one who has not seen it would believe that the cubic capacity of a mackerel could possibly deal successfully with the number of small hsh he actually swallows. The way he conducts use operation of feasting is unique. Open Ing his mouth wide, the mackerel darts in among the small fry. some of which are perhaps one-third of his own length. In an Instant one or tnese ;s to be seen sticking half in and hair out of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives one gulp, and the victim has disappeared. Without a moment's delay the process Is repeated and repeated s-o many times that the spet:Uor cannot fail to lie concerned for the immediate future of the particular mackerel he has watched. Vet nothing happens. As for the fry. their helpless anguish is annwn'hiit heartrending. The whole shoal of them boils au.i churns the water In an agony of fear. High into the ir they leap In order to avoid their voracious enemies, landing themselves often enough upon the weed covered rocks which skirt tlie txiol an I panting their lives out there nit her than leap back Into the seething mass of their harassed companions beneath.

Tlie tjn was made just a tritle smaller than the wheel and then heated, with the result of excluding it tdightly. When thus heated it was crowded down over tin rim of the wheel aud then cooled will, water to keep it from burning tin wheel and also to contract it. Cool ing. It was shrunk on to bind the wheel tightly. The modern way of putting a tire on a wheel Is with a hydraulic tire setting p. ess. By this m.liio.l the tire is made just a trine larger tnau tue wnei i. so mai it will go over the rim freely. Tin bed of this press, upon which tin wheel lies horizontally, with a a open Ing at the center for the hub. is com posed of 18 sections, raditting from tbe center and in shape like the space? between the 8iokes of a wheel. The outer end of ea h section is turned up ward, the turned up ends making a continuous flange, or collar, all around the bed of the p.-ess. Each one of the sections has under it a hydraulic cylinder, and the sections are all arranged to work to a commou center In use the wheel is laid ou tlie pvess with the cold tire around it within that turned up collar, or llauge. around iht? edge. When the press is set iu oratioii. the collar, or flange, is irresistibly contracted. When It eornes in contact with the tlre aroimil rtie wrjeei. it up against It. but keeps on contracting Just the same, now contracting the tire as well and setting It upon the wheel, the pressure being continued until the wheel itself has been brought to the requisite degree of dishing.New York Sun.
