Representative Lorimer has introduc ed a bill providing for a large appropria tion to begin early construction of the proposed waterway connecting the Great Lakes with the Gulf. The considera tion that this measure will receive will depend upon two circumstances--wheth er a riven and harbors appropriation bill shall be passed at this session of congress, and whether Chairman Bar ton of the house committee on rivers and harbors, is favorable to it. Mr. Bar ton prevented consideration of a similar appropriation by Us committee two years ago. Be was then inexorably op to the project. The chances are he is not more friendly at the pres ent time than be was then and will ex ercise his influence to defeat the Lor imer bill Mr, Burton's opposition will not be fatal to the appropriation, how ever. Even if he succeeds again in keeping it oat of the house bill Senator Hopkins will restore it when the house bill reaches the senate committee on commerce. Senator Hopkins ardently believes in the efficacy of this great en terprise. He will see to it that.it is not strangled by unfair means by its en- sg Males in the house. AM EDITOR'S COMMENT. In all^parts of Illinois Republicans will be interested in the candidacy of J. MeCan Davis for the clerkship of the supreme coort. He is peculiarly fitted for that important position. His qual- ifieatiuu as a lawyer would be usefnL in that office, and his unfailingly accurate clerical habits and unqualified faithful ness fit him for the duties of clerk of the highest court in the state, as few men are fitted. On the score of ability, diligence, working power and absolute trustworthiness any man may safely go his last dollar on McCan Da via. He can confidently be commended to the voters of Illinois as a man who will more than fulfill the expectations of the court, the .bar and *.he people in the important po sition which he seeks. Perpetual Motion Cranks. In the days of the Mayflower i first perpetual motion inventors took out their patents for "Engines which being put in order will cause and in&iu- teyiie their own mocions with continu ance stid without any borrowed force of man. horse, wind, river or brooke," and ih the last century they have ap plied for about 600 patents which are based chiefly on the force of gravity, loss of equilibrium, specific gravity of floats sad weights Immersed |n w«ter or other liquid, accession of receptacles inflated with air or gas under water, compression and subsequent nxpausion of gases and of the surface tension of liquids. So sanguinely hopeful are these ingenious designers that In many oases tbey provide brakes to stoo their machines if necessary or to prevent any dangerous increase of speed. The care and thought expended on the prin ciple and detail of many of the Inven tions demonstrate that many men of mental ability cling to the idea that perpetual motion is possible and that they themselves are successfully solv ing the problem. How to Shoot a Rattler. The writer once saw, an Indian Kill a rattlesnake in a very peculiar man ner. The rattler was about ten feet from the Indian, who was resting the rifle on his knee, apparently taking aim. Whenever be moved the weapon a few Inches the snake would move around and get exactly in line with it. Then, to show how the thing was done, the Indian moved about the snake in a cir cle, and the reptile moved as if its tall were on a pivot, always keeping its head and body In line with the gun The Indian then agreed to bandage his eyes andshoot the snake in the mouth. The writer bandaged the Indian's eyes, and, holding the gun by his side at frm's length, the latter pulled the trig ger, and the ball entered the snake's mouth and passed the whole lengtB of its body. "How do you take aim?" was the query. "The snake, he takes aim," was the reply. We have talked with an old hunter on this proposition, and he claims that a rattlesnake will al ways range directly In line with a gun or stick pointed at it.--Exchange. EDMUND NOON AN* A1way at Hi* Horn* la Last Nou4«k ." ' Snakes as War Weapons. When Hannibal, the great Cartha ginian, was fighting Eumenes of Per- gamos with a fleet of very inferior strength he hit upon an artifice which would scarcely be sanctioned by the laws of what we are pleased to call civiiizea warfare. He discovered by means of a bogus message r.nder a flag of truce on which ship th* king was. He then caused poisonous snakes to be inclosed in earthen jars. These be dis tributed among several sLlps and or dered them to close up on the king's galley. In the melee that followed the jars were flung on to the deck. The curious bombs were greeted at first with ridicule, which soon chinged to panic when the nature of their contents made Itself manifest. The galley was extricated from the fight as soon as possible, and the captains of the others, believing that the king had taken flight, followed suit, with the result that Han nibal gained a complete victory. Cats as Retrievers. "It te claimed," said a Chicago an tiquary, "that cats may be trained as retrievers--trained to swim to your slain birds and bring them back to you in their mouths. The thing sounds incredible, but look here." He held up the photograph of an ancient Egyptian painting. Men with spears rode on the Nile. In some of the boats large cats sat on their haunches in the stern, while toward others several cats swam with dead birds in their mouths. "This picture," said the antiquary, "proves that the Egyptians used cats ftfr hunting dogs. If they, why not we? The original of the picture is in the British museum, where there are also several pieces of carving that dis play the cat in the role of a retriever." The German and the Fatherland. A German always remains a German. He respects and loves his fatherland, although isolated and separated from it by boundless oceans and vast conti nents. A Guiuau heart always re mains true to the country where it first commenced to beat until It is silenced by death. As a rule, to which there are few exceptions, a man who is loyal to the country of his birth will be loyal to the country of his adoption.--Dr. Nicho las Senn.

A spelling match in the evening class last Thursday evening required over an hour before either Bide could win a de cided advantage. Over seventy new books are added to our library since the holidays. Our pictures obtained with the pro ceeds of our art exhibit were received last week and are a fine addition to our walls. Marguerite Granger had • very nar row escape on the ice of the pond one evening last week. It is to Iw hoped that her chilly bath may be a sufficient warning to the young people of the town to prevent any further accidents of the kind. We have bad visits from two of our last year's graduates who are this year wielding (figuratively?) the rod in hools near by. Come again, Lillian and Myrtle. Five of the girls of last year's class are teaching this year and we hear good reports from them all. We have adopted a new plan' in the" management of our library and books are now in circulation at the rate of about fifty a week. January is not the conventional month for epidemics of poetry, but the muse has certainly smitten at least one of the high school boys. ^ Our janitor, John Brents, l&d a mouse pie on Monday of this week.

Various portions of Illinois are in the throes of a small pox epidemic. Accord ing to the state board of health the out look in the case is very grave. In twen ty seven communities scattered thruout seventeen counties small pox prevails In epidemic form and new cases are being reported by every mail. For the first time in many years, ac cording to the statement of the board, cities and villages are being brought in to a condition of complete stagnation thrn the invasion of the contagion. In many localities all festivities and enter tainments have been abandoned at the order of the board, while in others the schools remain closed, churches dispense with their services and all meetings of every character are declared off. New communities are acquiring the disease, spreading it to the neighboring localities and contributing to the wide spread invasion thruout, the state. Such an epidemic was foretold by the board fully six months ago, and the most re grettable feature of the epidemic is the fact that it might have been to a large extent avoided bad the people of the state heeded the warnings issued by the board The bulletin pointed out the unusual prevalence of small pox in Illinois for that time of year and prophesied that unless extraordinary precaution was ex tended the state would be visited with a blighting epidemic of small pox during, the present winter. The state board of health is making every effort to prevent a general epidemic affecting every por tion of the state and are supplementing their campaign of education with a drastic policy of supervision. Recent amendments to the state board of health act vest in that board power to assume control of municipalities in case the life ! health at the people are sot afford ed sufficient protection by the local au thorities, KILLED IN CHICAGO. 1* Frederick# of c«ry Klevated Train. - •ft Don't forgat the horse racing 9t County Fair. the Mew Poetal Card leaned.

Once in awhile you meet a common Chinaman who has some of the native wit of bis country. One such has a laundry in Lexington avenue, not far from Twenty-third street. The other day I heard him yell at a recalcitrant customer: "You no pay? Then you pa per tiger!" I asked what he meant by "paper tiger," and be replied, "Oh, in China a paper tiger Is a blackguard who blows much, but Is harmless!" He added: "When a man is very proud of himself, what Americans call 'stuck up,' we compare to a rat falling into scale and weighing Itself. When a Chinaman overdoes a thing we say he Is a hunchback making a bow. The rich son who quickly spends his fa ther's money we call a rocket which goes off at Once.

The bride may see none of her own family and only the women folk of her bus band's, who wait on her. She remains in all her wedding finery and paint and does absolutely nothing. The bride groom generally slips out at night aft er three days and sees a few friends privately, but he persistently hides from his wife's family, and should he by accident meet his fatber-in law be fore the seven days are over he turns his back and draws his burnous, or balk, over his face.

Fredericks, known to many of our readers as the principal of the Gary school, was kilted last Friday fore noon while acting in capacity of guard on one of the elevated trains in Chica go Mr. Fredericks, who for the past five years has been principal of the Cary school, resigned from that position this fall to take up the study of law in Chi- cagp. He took a position as guard on one of the elevated trains to defray bis school expenses, as his la w school du ties left his foreuoous unemployed. As near as we can learn, the particulars of the accident are these: In performing his duties as guard" he was ̂ attempting to unhook the guard chains which are hooked from car to car when a train is made up To do so he was compelled to lean out over the ear platform, and while in this delicate position the car swuug around a curve, causing hiu> to lose bis balance and fall down between the cars. Bq did not fall to the rails, however. The ballast blocks, which are carried under the elevated cars and are shifted automaticsUy from one side of the car to the other to overcome tha tendency of the cars to tip off the Mtroc tore when ronnding the sharp carves, were*' at the instant the body fell, shift ing to the side of the car on which h» was standing. So his body wmm caught and crushed between the ballast block and the side of the car. After rounding the curve the block shifted to the center of the car and the body dropped to the rails, two cars passing over it' It is supposed that death was caused instantaneously ' by crushing between the ballast block and the side of the car.
