Chance to Save Coal, City Auditor Gould, in looking over his bhooks, finds that It has cost $174 to keep the main city bullding in fuel for the past winter, while It has taken $201 worth to heat the patrol house and jail. ‘There s con- siderable talf occasloned by the imperfection of the heating plant as it now is. When the city building was put up it was considered a piece of economy to heat the patrol house and the jail with stoves, so as to get along with a little cheaper heating plant in the main bullling. It is claimed that with but very little more fuel than is now used during the winter in the main building, all three of the bufldings could be well heated by merely connecting with the plant in the main building. It might cost a little some- thing to put the plant in such shape that it would do all the work required, but there Is little doubt that it will be economy in the long run to have one heating apparatus for all three bulldings, and such a move s likely to be made before next winter sets in.

Some of A gang of housebreakers and counter- feiters {s not a thing that turns up every day, but that is about the size of the gang that was turned up yesterday morning by Oficers Murphy and Weir. Last 'Tuesday the house occupied by Ben Marks as a resi- dence In the summer time at Manawa was broken into. It was unoccupied and nothing was known of the affair until a day or two later, when it was founa that the thieves had pried open a window with a crow bar and had stolen a lot of valuable stuff. The house was finely furnished and the thieves had no difficulty in making their selection of things they wanted. In making an inventory Mr. Marks found that knives, forks, blankets, muttresses, comforts and the like were missing to the value of $100. Three men had been seen about the place and they were at once suspected of being the guilty partics. Two of them are brothers named Rachwitz and the other’s nams is Brett. All three have been mixed up in several crimes and bear the reputation of being hard citizens and desperate men generally. Marks went to Justice Vien's oftice and swore out a search warrant and Murphy and Wier made the search. The three men have boen living in a cave near the Schuetzen Verein shooting park on the east shore of tho lake for some time past. The officers went to this cave and found one of the Rachwitz boys there. They proceeded to search the place and in a few minutes they had found about a wagon load of the stolen property. The cave was only about eight feet by twelve in size, but it was well filled with plunder, Rachwitzand the stuff that an- swered the description furnished by Marks were taken up and the latter was stored in Justice Vien's office, while the former was handcuffed and given over to the custody of the county jailer. ‘While looking over the stuff in the cave some metal was found that had evidently been intended to be used in the manufacture of counterfeit money. No tools were found, but another search is to be made, when the officers may be morg-successful. The mere presence of the bogus metal n the cave proves nothing, but it seems that a night or two ago Mrs. Zimmerman, whose husband keeps a saloon and restaurant at Manawa, nad some counterfeit dollars passed off on her by these very men. They visited her place in a rather hilarious mood, and pro- ceeded to imbibe something that had a ten- dency to make them still more hilarious. They paid for the stuff in the bogus coin, and Mrs. Zimmerman did not discover her mistake until she consideranly out of vocket, It has veen thought for a long time that a counterfeiting plant has been 1 operation in this vicinity, but the most thorough search by the officers on both sides of the river has been unabie to throw any lignt upon its exact whereabouts. It is the opin- ion of the officers that the clew just hit upon, if followed up, will result in the cap- ture of the gang and the tools with which they have been working. SOCIAL GOSSIP.

SPLIT THE TICKETS, Popullsts Nominate Snyder and Hunt for School Board Candidates, One election and five political conventions is the record for the past six days. What is believed to be the last convention before to- morrow’s election took place last evening at the court house under the auspices of the populists. About the usual handful were there. The actions of the republican and democratic conventions were discussed at considerable length, the. usual amount of complaining being done by the speakers. Then the question arose, who should be’nomi- nated by the populists? Bert Evans, Dr. Snyder and J. F. Hunt were mentioned, but John Ahles protested against nominating any of the candidates that been put up by elther of the other conventions, for if the candidates should fail to be elected it would have a tendency to brand the populistic en- dorsement as a hoodoo. He was outvoted, however, and M. B. Snyder of the republican ticket and J. F. Hunt of the so-called citi- zens' nonpartisan ticket .were selected as candidates.

S Eversbody to Know the Merits of Their Admirable Speciaity System—The Col munity Evidently Impressed With the Liberality and Fairness of the Ofter. The principle that lies at the bottom of the Copeland & Shepard medical system, the theory of shorter time and lighter fees for the cure of chronic maladies, is just this—that, modern science having greatly reduced the actual cost of proper medical treatment, It is just as dishonest to main. tain the former high fees as it is to keep up the famine price of bread in a time of plenty. A great difficulty with many sufferers lies in their indecision. Lack of means, joined to lack of Information as to what course to pursue, as to what specialist to consult and trust, results too often in a listless post- ponement of all treatment whatever, To meet this too frequent condition of pitiful indecision and to solve a conundrum that distracts too many invalids, Drs. Copeland and Shepard have announced the plan of trial treatment free to all applicants on thefr first visit. Instead of leaving the patient either to perish *“for want of a good dactor” o experiment helplessly and blindf¥ and at his own expense, it enable him, before paying out a dollar, to know Just what he is paying for.

THEY WON'T BE ANGELS THE One of the Much-Abused “Bawling Brother- hood” Objeots to the “‘New Woman,"” SAYS SHE SIMPLY WANTS THE EARTH Ibsen, the Prophet of the New Wou Compared with Sarah Grand, Prophetess—Man as a Dis- mal Fallure. With thousands of women in many states beginning to agitate newly the old question of suffrage for the fair sex, and with the *‘woman question” brought to the front with sensational effect in many publications that alm to be, above all things, foresighted in “issues of the hour,” the time seems to have come for man to be alert and on his guard, says the fighting editor of the New York Times, whose blood is at last up and whose rufiled dignity rises to the occasion as if it had just sat upon a pin. With many of the women the right to vote seems to be the solution of all their problems. If they can get to the polls they will soon reconstruct society, abolish evil and set Truth upon her throne. In the state of Massachusetts the efforts of woman suffragists seem to have been balked, for the time being, but in New York the movement to strike the detestable word -'male” out of the constitution seems to grow formidable. Many women of high socldl standing are pledged to the cause, and there 18 no lack of energy in the effort to get the matter before the constitutional con- vention. But prudepce and wisdom do not always go hand in hand with energy. The women who, in a recent public meting, displayed the national banner with only two stars, the symbols of the states which politically recognize no such word as “‘male,” revealed a sense of humor not generally assoclated with the female mind, but betrayed also a deplorable unwisdom and lack of the sense of fair play. It was a gross insult to forty- two states and a degredation of the flag that waves over us, of which the commonest, vulgarest man would never be gullty. This lack of policy among the leaders of the new movement indicates what a muddle the af- fairs of ‘this republic would get into it the women had political power, 8 estion of the suffrage s, after “““\H bl ‘Iulurl of the !I\nllim( Woman Que The “advanced” sisters far Ao that. The author of "“The Heavenly Paine —whose strong, hysterical, illogical but moving and picturesque romance may be accepted as @ text book of the new woman's” philosophy~speaks briefly, sharp- ly. somewhat indistinctly, but In a manner to be felt, if not wholly understood, in be ulf of the “Shrieking Sisterhood” to the *“Bawl- ing Brotherhood,” through the |nm|§mu of The North American Review. We can gather from that whut the “new woman wants. he wants, and we say it soberly, with no mind for current slang, the earth, She has made up her mind that the govern | menta o wen have wil been falluren.” They a small tion man's ad- ve been de- Their ideals have spoiled the world. Under ministration, science and art b graded. Their gods are false. are shams. The “new woman” will assert her rights and in time create a new man to help her make over the world. She will give up no right she now possesses. She will, presum- ably, continue to exercise her natural fun tions. It is not a part of her plan to depop- ulate the planet. But she will abolish vice. That will be the beginning. And “vice" in the mind of the “new woman’ comprehends a good deal. With vice, as man under- stands it, will disappear much that man has esteemed of lasting worth—including all the classics of every language and the revered art of the centuries, and, perhaps, the insti- tution of marriage in its present form, and, presumably, the use of tobacco and rum. ON, there will be high times when the “ne woman” gets well into action. At present she is holding her breath and preparing for a spring. When it comes to getting accurate ‘ldeas I detail of the “new woman's” hopes, aspirations and beliefs, the masculine mind finds ftself in a fog. “A Prophet of the New Womanhood,” according to an article by Annie Nathan Meyer in the current Lippincott's Magazine, is Henrik Ibsen. But what does Ibsen teach except that woman has been shamefully wronged and is di contented, and has yearnings not to be ex- pressed in any known language? What, after all, is his philosophy—In this respect but poor Stephen Blackpool's, “IUs a' a muddle?” Moreover, a very high authority, Dr. Max Nordan, whose formidable and startling work called intartung'’ has lately set some folks to thinking, holds that Ibsen is only one of the examples of the awful mental and moral degeneration caused by the brain fatigue of a century of high pres sure. Kurope, says Nordau, 1s going mad The age of electricity and sieam has over- taxed the strength of man, and he has lost his creative power. Most moder art and literature, and much of modern sclence, he finds hysterical, weakly Imitative, ductive.” Tbsen he condemns as plaglaris of the old and a rebel against ft In othe words, he denfes, but cannot create.” His rt s “disguised and degraded reminis- \ce.'” Perhaps Nordau himself is not quite sane, for he puts Wagner's music in the same category as 1bsen's poetry, findy trace of insanity in Carlyle, and classes a un sound and degenerate the philosophy of Comte and all the art of the decadents, the pessimists, the symbolists and the rosicrucans, But there s cnough sense command respect for it new thought” of this restless era is the outcome of something very like hysteria, and the thought I8 never new. And the ‘new woman'' herself 18 not the wholesome, sound-minded, clear-seeing person she takes herself to be. She Is saylng nothing new People wlo have read much will fail to find a single new Idea in the teaching of Sarah irand, for instance, wh ibsen, the prophet, is surely simply carrying to gross extremes the theories propounded by others. This comparison of the author of “The Heavenly Twins" with the mighty Scandi navian may shock some sedate students of modern literature, but, after all, the com parison is forced upon us. Ibsen Is the prophet of the “new woman,” and Sarah Grand 1s surely the chief of her prophetesses. And Evadne is certainly as fine a creation as Hedda Qabler or Solnexs.
