:‘.fumintnwnt. .\.:‘: stated by the president,
these quali;ica:i‘m1s rule out :1 great many
men \vho.~:e names arenow mentioned. The
follov.‘in_:_: are the president’s ideas in re-
gard to the man ii'.‘ wants:
First—He must have the coniileucc of
the people. _
Second—lie must be known as a “nun-
cier. and one whose reputatimi is above re-
}n'tuu-h. and who will not have to make a
reputation after he become,»- secretary. His
name when mentioned must strike a re—
~ sponsivc chord in the. public heart.
These qualifications narrow the list of
eligibles down to a small number.
Men “"110 Are DIentioned.
Notwithstnnding the president’s remark
that he was not going to appoint one of the
members of the present congress, gossip
still plays wit-11 the names of four members,
two from each launch—Senators Spooner
and Aldrich, and Representatives McKin-
ley and Cannon. McKinley is in earnest
when he says he does not want it and can-
not afford to take it. Spooner is not anx-
ious for it, but still many believe he will
be forced to take it: but Aldrich and Can-
non have been uppermost in the talk dur-
ing the last two days. .
Apropos of Cannon, the mention of his
name has caused great apprehension
among the treasury clerks and some of the
lesser officials in that building. They do
not like Cannon because of his economical
ideas and his remark that if he had author-
ity he would make the clerks in the de-
partments work ten hours a day, and that
they were paid too much, for he could fill
the departments with men from his dis-
trict just as good as those there now, and
only pay them 5550 a month.
\Yhilc the clerks know he cannotchange
their salaries they are afraid he will make
t Icm work longer. and so a. number of
them have held a meeting and adopted
resolutions protesting against the appoint-
ment of .‘\lr. Cannon as secretary of the
treasury. and they have managed to get
this protest. before the president.

THE NORTHWEST BLIZZARD.
Six People Frozen to Death—Trains Be-
ginning to Move.
CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-—The blizzard in the
northwest having ceased, the work of re-
storing interrupted railway communica-
tion is going on as rapidly as possible.
Several of the blockaded trains on the
' Union Pacific, near Cheyenne, Wyo., have
been moved.
Reports received here from near Rush-
ville, N (3b., say that a woman named Mrs.
Miller Cummings, while returning to her
home from a visit to her sick sister, was
frozen to death in her buggy. Near Kear-
ney, in the same state, two boys, Eddie
Chcdster and Steve St. Peters, Were frozen

a young ranchman, started out in the bliz-
zard on Saturday afternoon to drive Meta

vide” from the school to her boarding
house, a distance of twelve miles. Yester-
day morning they were found by some
ranchers, frozen to death in a standing
posture and clinging to a wire fence a few
miles north of the city. Rumors were cir-
culated yesterday that fifteen of the In-
dians bound from Pine Ridge to Fort
Keogh perished Saturday night on Spring
creek. The reports are not confirmed.
POLITICAL RECIPROCITY.
If thc Farmers Elect Palmer the Demo-
crats \Vill Elect Hardin.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills., Feb. 11.—-Speakei
Crafts has received a letter from the Demo-
crats in the legislature of South Dakota
in which they say: “The Democrats of
South Dakota are ready to help the F. M.
B. A. representatives of that state elect an
F. M. B. A. man—presumably its candi-
date, Mr. Hardin—to the senate upon cer-
tain specified terms and conditions, and
these are that the F. M. B. A. in the legis-
lature of Illinois shall vote for John M.
Palmer.
Jerry Simpson, the Alliance representa-
tive in the Kansas house of representa-
tives, is here arranging the deal between
the Democrats and the Alliance men. Mr.
Crafts had Moore and Cockrell with him
last night for an hour’s talk in executive
session. Crafts said yesterday that a, sena-
tor would be elected this week. The Dem-
ocrats are making this claim strenuously,
and evidently on the basis of the South
Dakota deal. '

In God‘s great. universe thou art today.
Can he not reach thee with his tender care?
Can he not hear me when for thee I pray?
What matters it to him who holds within
The hollow of his hand all worlds, all space,
That thou art: done with earthly pain andsin?
Somewhere within his ken thou hast a place.
Somewhere thou livest and hast need of him;
climb;
And somewhere still, there may be valleys dim
That thou must pace to reach the hills sublime.

Poor human words of blessing, will I pm,

How the Spider Builds.
Watch a common house spider spin its
- web. It seems to take pains, before begin-
ning, to select a spot where there are
chances of Obtaining plunder and where it
will be secure. It then discharges a little
drop of glutinous fluid, and creeps up the
wall, joining the thread from one wall to
the other. The first thread thus formed is
wdrawn tight; and fixed at each end with
other threads. It is upon this outer thread
that the durability of the whole fabric de-
pends. The web-‘s foundation completed,
the spider next makes a number of threads
parallel to the'first, and then crosses them
with other threads, the sticky substance of
which they are formed serving to bind
them, when newly made, to each other.
It now commences to double and treble
the threads that border its web, securing
the edges as it does so. Lastly, it forms a
kind of tunnel with webbing. This is to
serve as a retreat where it can conceal it-
self from its enemies, and also from its
prey, and is generally placed in the angle
of the walls. \Vhen the spider’s work is
done it often happens that the approach of
some large animal or the passage of the
houscmaid’s broom will “destroy in a, min-
ute the labor of days. In this case as soon
as the danger is passed away the spider pa.-
tiently begins to repair the web.
For this purpose the spider is provided
with a store of the glutinous matter of
which the web is made. then possible
the spider prefers the mending business,
as it is only provided with a limited quan-
tity of glutinous matter, and when this is
exhausted it probably cannot be renewed.

The Dissatisfied Salesman.
It is customary for the commercial trav-
elers to visit the home office of the institu.
tions they represent about the first of the
year, and renew their old contract with
their firm or make a. new one. If they have
done a successful year’s business they are
likely to call their employers’ attention to
the fact, and him; that an advance in sal-
ary would be the proper thing. If they
are good salesmen, and their requests are
moderate, their wishes are usually grant-
ed. A representative of a. Chicago hard-
ware house got; a raisein salary the past
week. \Vhen he suggested the propriety
of such a step to his employer the latter
remarked:
“\Vliy, we gave you big raise a year
ago.” “I know that,” replied the young
man, “and I want another now. I think I
am worth to you all I am asking.” "Do
you, indeed ?” responded his employer.
and further remarked, “I’ll tell you hon-
estly what I think; that is that some men
are never satisfied, and that you are one of
that number.” “True,” said the traveler,
“and I never intend to be. You will, sir,
pardon me for saying if you had been satis-
fied with the $1,200 per year you originally
received for doing the class of work I am
performing you would not now be getting
your $20,000 per year as partner in. this
concern.” He got his raise. One of these
days he will be a partner himself—Chi—

A “’ord for tho Scissors Dian.
The exchange editors of the American
press are the most vigilant in the world.
They are keen and indefatigable in their
hunt for bright and readable matter. No
matter where good work is done—whether
in New York city or in the fastucsses of
Missouri—the exchange editor is bound to
ferret it out and exploit it. These gentle-
men are the promoters of intellectual
merit; they are the best friends that our
young newspaper writers have. They are
intelligent, discriminating, appreciative,
far searching and generous. Other depart-
ments in our system of journalism may
ably the best in the world. Long may they

Cutting Veneers by Electricity.
The cutting of veneers is now done by
electricity. The veneering machine, in-
stead of cutting or shaving around the en-
tire circumferencc of the log, as usual,
takes a thin slice from the flat side of it.
The logs are of any diameter, and are cut
into lengths of ten feet. The veneer-ing
cutting knife is fixed between two parallel
shafts, and the log is carried up and down
in front of it with a circular motion by re-
volving cranks, and is fed against the
knife by a ratchet and pawl, in the ordi-
nary manoeu—New York Telegram.
When paper making machines were in-
troduced, and the use of molds was aban-
doned, sheets came to bemade of all dimen.
sions. As a result quartos and octavos had
all sorts of dimensions, and the terms,
when used strictly to indicate how the
sheet. was folded, became worthless as des—
ignations of size. The use of the old terms
was nevertheless not abandoned; but in-
stead they were first used to indicate a
rather wide range of sizes, and finally were
attached to certain more definite sizes,
without reference to the method of folding.
In these days of inventions and new ideas
which multiply as rapidly as thoughts it
isn’t safe to ask without investigation why
some one hasn’t invented this or that, or
at least tried to invent it. J ust so sure as‘
you do some one will pop up unexpectedly
and prove that the thing has been done or
is being done. It’s pretty hard work to
keep even with the times in these days.
‘ In Japan the ordinary signs of a coming
ttremor are the screaming pheasants, the
prancing of horses in their stalls, the re-
treat of the moles into their burrows, and
the. attempts of cats, dogs, guinea pigs,
swine and other domestic animals to es-
cape'into the open country.
Attention is being given to lengthening
the life of incandescent lamps. Discolored
lamps can now be opened and cleaned
without interfering with filaments or
mountings. When the lamp is re-exhaust-

was our intention to give the public a.
chance during the month of February
to buy Good Desirable Dry Geode at;
prices Lower than was ever heard of
before (considering the market value
of goods to-day); but circumstances
have forced us to do even more. It has

every article of a Thoroughly, Reliable Quality at a small Margin We

mean the actual cost, and not a fictitious price added on with a view of
deceiving clerks as well as customers. To every rule there are exceptions,
and we make but two out of our whole stock. These are Corsets and Kid
Gloves. The goods named are sold under contract and'we cannot; break
