Accompany us Borne night, friends, nd we will visit a town lighted by elec­ tricity. You will be delighted with the scene. / The contrast between such a method of street illumination and that which is in vogue in this village is so great that it requires no deliberation to conclude which is the better. An electric light furnishes flrst-claos illumination; oil lamps on streets are but little better than nothing. Persons using electric lights save the time which is needed to keep the oil lamps in shape. This alone is considerable economy. Again,electric lights can be instantaneously called into action. It is not necessary to grope around in the dark for matches as is the rule in the case of oil lamps. Lastly, electric lights are cheaper than oil lamps when all things are considered. , We sub­ mit that the brightest, the cleanest, the most convenient and the most economic* al light is the one that should be used in preference to the old oil lamps which long ago have had their day. Let as be en­ terprising. Let us adopt modern ideas. Let us favor everything which will pro­ mote the public welfare. Foremost among all good things is an electric light system. Let it speedily com*. ; •" *' -'£•* can be manufactured oat of almost anything that can be pounded into pulp. Over fifty kinds of bark are •aid to be used, and banana skins, bean stalks, pea vines, 90coanut fiber, clover and timothy nay, straw, sea and fresh water weeds and many kinds ot grass are all applicable. It has also been made from hair, fur and wool, from asbestos, which furnishes an article in­ destructible by fire; from hop plants, from husks of any and every kind of grain. Leaves make a good strong paper, while the husks and stems of In­ dian corn have also been tried, and al; most every kind of moss can be made into paper. There are patents for mak­ ing paper from sawdust and shavings, from thistles and thistledown, from to­ bacco stalks and tan bark. It is said that there are over two thousand pat­ ents in this country covering the manu­ facture of paper. Wm. A. Pinkerton, the famous de­ tective, who has been instrumental in bringing a large majority of train rob­ bers in America to justice, was recently interviewed. He states that a great number of train robbers and criminals in general have come from small country towns where boys have been permitted to peruse the "yellow covered novels." He also adds tha# train robbing is on the increase and unless more strenuous efforts are put forth to make this one of the mo,st heinous crimes extant, its in­ crease will reach enormous proportions. The "yellow covered novel" referred to is not a hard thing to find in the possess­ ion of young boys in this and other towns of its size. To stop their sale and publication is a question which has baf­ fled police, detectives and all concerned in their suppression and just how to do away with these destroyers of th mind is a problem hard to solve. "The Circuit (k>urt at Aurora has decided that a wheelmau is entitled to half the road when meeting a vehicle. This would seem to be a lust and fair decision and ought to be the law all over these United States. ? • * mM-i jpAM j IfiT'TbeKankakt* Gazette says: "If the twenty million persons who attended «the world's fur were formed into a line, three fe^t apart, the procession would be 11,370 miles long, and at three miles an hour would be 156 days passing a given ' point. The last man might be a trifle weary before he reached home, but if he was a Chicago man he'd make it. If; MPThanksgiving Day, the first of the winter holidays, will be observed to­ morrow. While many people will be in­ clined to think that in view of the hard times theYe is little for which man has Teaeon to be thankful, one must never­ theless remember that the state of affairs migbt be considerably worse. Thegen- * eral health of our citizens is good.. Food f plentiful among the people. Those if II * who have the proa nets of their toil for 'sale are gettirg good prices. We should &v'Vt,.1be thankful that our surrounding circum- Standee are no worse than we now find ^ k 4 them. Although deprived of the good :*f * *»' ' ^ings which plenty of money brings, we rl\ • 0;, should nevertheless be thankful for the 4 '4 '• ' • ' blessings which we are enjoying. <4* SI i . irwe present our readers this* week with a Thanksgiving offering in the eb ape of a paper con t aining t welve pages. We have especially aimed to make this issue <of the PLAINDXALER a Thanks giving paper. With that end in view we come forward with several attractive features. This issue contains an illus­ trated page bearing on the holiday which we are now celebrating. There are several Thanksgiving stories, much Thanksgiving miscellaneous matter, and some Thanksgiving poems. In short, thfa is largely a Thanksgiving issue, as we have already said. But we are by no means neglecting our regular depart­ ments. The readers will find the usual amount of locals,- correspondence and telegraphic news. If our friends will be pleased with this issue of the PLAINDEAL- SB, our aim will have been accomplished. Books and Periodicals. --The Art Amateur, published tague Marks, 23 Union Square N.

Mallon in an attract­ ively-illustrated page of "Bonnets for the Winter" in-the December Ladies' Home Journal, A very pretty bonnet showing these colors is of bright scarlet felt, rather oval in shape and fitting the, head almost like a toque. Just in front the brim is split up to the crown; the edges are all outlined with a narrow band of mink,and where the brim is cut and turned up there is placed a mink's head which looks out wi^h composure from under its strange Surroondings. About the crown is a twist of golden brown satin, and just in front is a cres­ cent of gold set with rhinestones. --The Christmas number of Frank Les­ lie's Popular Monthly (for December, 1893) is out, bright and early, with a richly illuminated cover appropriate to the season, and a dainty colored frontis­ piece entitled "Christmas in ye Olden Time."

Side by side in the show room may be seen gowns of exceeding grace and beauty, in which the color combi­ nations and the outlines are so harmon­ ious as to charm the artistic sense, and othere which violate every canon with regard to the association of color and the known shape of the human bi­ ped. Less and tgss are we grateful to re­ cord these monstrosities seen on our streets; and it is the hope of every women who values the credit of her sex that they will remain to decorate the lay figures in shop windows. Matching these gowns are cloaks, wraps, and hats of exceeding richness as to material, but bizarre and outre to a degree. There are velvet cloaks almost overlaid with em­ broidery of gold and iridescent silks thickly studded with imitation turquoises and amethysts, often the reverse or shoulder capes are of a contrasting col­ or, lined with still another contrast, and of an amplitude that gives to a slender woman the shoulder expansion of Bar- num's fat woman.--From "Review of Fashions" in Demoreat'a Family Jt*g*- zine for December. , How is This I We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward or any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
