March 6. Mr. Plumstead is an imitator and character } lehneator ot first rank, and his entire program was a continual round of laughter. The first part of the pro- gram consisted of selections especially irom Riley, given in the dialects, and where perfect renditions. ‘The second part of the program was costume, Ezra an old. farmer. an old broken-down icter, and a small boy. ‘These were excellent, especially the one of the old actor. ‘The make-ups were perfect ind the rendition of the selections were fine.

Mr. Plumstead will be at Village hall March 6, POWER PROSPECTS AT KOOCHICHING | Contract Awarded For Dam. and Work Will Begin ina Short Time. Word has reached Duluth that a eontract has been awarded for the deyelopment of the water power of the Rainy riverat Koochiching, Minn. and Fort Francis, Ont. These two towns are opposite each other on the river, which is 600 feet wide at this point. The falls there afford possibi- lities of anextensive water power and the development of it bas been in coutemplation for some time. The Canadian authorities bave pro- tested against the extent of the pro- | posed raise of the river by the con- strection of a dam, and tora time it’ looked as if this ubjection would make it impossible for the promoters of the water power to reach an agreement, but 1t has been satisfactorily adjusted McGuire & company have the con- tract for the timber work on the dam 250 nen will be at work | ina few days. The machinery that will be required wiil come up the lakes from Buffalo the coring season and be shioped by rail to Fort Francis. } Itis said that the water power can be made available in a year. The development of the water pow= er at the falls of the Rainy river will, | it is expected, be of prime importance to the new town of Kovchiching. It is planned to build extensive pulp | mills and at least one large sawmill there. The Brooks, Backus Lumber | | con¥pany, of Minneapolis, is interest- ev ip the development of the water power. The Fireman’s Hisar dous Life. The aecident that occurred at the fire im the Zenith Paper company’s | | warehouse, whereby two firemen were severely injured, again calls forcible attenhen tu the fact that the calling of a flre..en is one of severe hazard and | danger, too httle appreciated by the public as a general rule. It is almost miraculous that netther | of the mea who fell when the’ ladder collapsed lost his life. No doubt the jladder descended in such a way as'to | partially break their fall, else they would have been fatally injured or in- stantly killed. | ‘Two other members of the depart- | ment, in their efforts to get at the blaze | \ fortunately neither was seriously njur- ed. Itisa matter of gener.l salistac- tion that all were so lucky as to escape death or irreparable injury. ‘This incident should serve as warn- ing to officials responsible tor equipp- ing the department that all tools and appliances shall be of sufficient strength to meet the severe tests to which they are subjected. The risk jto human hfe is too great to run any chances with flimsy ladders or other appliances. It should also bring about a resolve on the part of the cit- zens to deal liberally with these men in a financial way. There is no more hazardous employment nor one requir- iag greater moral courage and the re- compense should be commensprate. —Duluth Herald. BYES”: Dr. C. J.

Miquez and Mouchet have de- vised a new filter for impure or sus: pected waters frem lakes, rivers and springs. The water is directed over a layer of fine sand, a meter thick, with gravel underneath. The solid particles and bacteria in the water are filtered out by the upper layers of the fine sand, and the water escapes freely from the gravel underneath. The authors consider it well suited for the supply of pure alimentary water: —London Globe. More Stoical Than Red Indians. No red Indians were ever more cal- lous to pain that the aborigines of Australia. in their tribal fights, which still occur frequently, the wounds are treated with indifference. Old Australian settlers are fond of telling a famous story of a tribal chief who walked sixty miles with a spear sticking clear through his body before he could get help to pull it out. They insist taat the story is true. Alcohol in Ancient Times. Considering the possible influence ef alcohol upon human evolution, Dr. Harry Campbell assumes that such civilizations as those of Babylon and Egypt may date back 30,000 years and that agriculture by migratory tribes may extend back 30,000 years more, but concludes that the use of alcohol as a beverage has not’ been known more than 10,0C0 years. He finds no reason to believe that, as was sug- | Sested some years ago, the discovery of fermented liquor gave the first civ- ilizing quickening to the brain of the ape-man. No Women Prisons in Austria. Austria is the one country in the world which never puts a woman in prison. Instead of giving the female eriminal so many months in jail she {s sent, no matter how terrible is har tecord, to one or other of the convents feyoted for the purpose ang there kept @uring the time for which"she is sen- «enced. The convent is not a mere prison in disguise, for its courtyara@ stands open all day long, the only bar to egress being a nun who acts ag vortress, uni as In other convents.
