a Word to the Corpulent.

Instead of regarding obesity as an abnor-
nal condition, many people have errone.
ously considered it as an evidence of
health, and any agent that reduces fat is
therefore at once suspected of being iuiuri-
GUS. Starting to reason from the false
position that fat ia an evidence of health,
it is not surprising that they should, very
naturally, fall into the error of supposing
that an agent possessing properties capable
of reducing corpulenoy would prove injuri-
Gus to the health Reasoning, however.
from the rational basis, that an undue
deposition of fat, constituting obesity, is
not healthy but morbid condition, it is
quite as natural for US to arrive at the op.
posite conclusion, which is sustained by
experience and observation, 4. e., that the
reduction of fat 10 cases of corpulency il

ported killed and many wounded in the
vicinity of Delphos, Ottawa county, and
several casualties are reported in other
parts OF the country traversed by the
storm. 1t is therefore certain that no less
than 40 have been killed, and 70 to 80
wounded, all the latter very seriously. The
people want money to get necessaries
which are at hand. From SO to 60 fam
lilies at Frankfort, Kansas, are houseless,
and destitute of clothing, provisions, and

place donated $7O0. More aid is needed.

CHICAGO, June "A judicial election
occurred in Illinois to-day, circuit judges
being elected in the various districts, and

ln this circuit there was regular demo-
cratic and Irregular republican ticket The
result will not be known before midnight,
tor although there was very light vote,
there was u great amount Of scratching,
scarcely any OF lhe tickets voted being
straight out partisan. The impression
seems to prevail that the democratic nom
inees carried the city by considerable
majority. and that the republican uomi-
nees generally received a majority OF the
votes in the county towns. Nothing what
ever is known Of the results outside Of
this circuit.

WASHINGTON.
Republican Senatorial Caucus.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The republican
members of the senate assembled in eau
Gus this afternoon in response to the request
OF few senators, who desired caucus
action concerning Senator Bayard's bill to
repeal sections 820 and 82l. The first of
these sections prescribes the jurors test
oath. There was practical unanimity of
opinion in the caucusthat this section should
be repealed. The other section authorizes
the judges of the United States courts to
exercise their own discretion in regard to
challenges Of persons drawn as Jurors who
have participated in the rebellion. The
opinion OF the caucus was that this section
has never been abused and is not likely to
be, and therefore it should stand. No
other question was brought before the
caucus. The new democratic programme
in regard to the appropriation bills was
incidentally referred to by several senators,
and although there was no discussion con-
corning it, the general sentiment expressed
ID conversation among those present
favored policy of resisting any and all
attempts OF the dominant party Elm con-
gress 70 accomplish, or attempt to accom-
pIlsh, by lndlrection, anything that has
oeen heretofore attempted without success,
openly. ltwas, however, considered ad, /,
vlsable to defer caucus discussion of the
political situation until the new bills shall
have been presented 10 congress, and an
opportunity afforded for their critical ex.
animation.

In one of the inner apartments of the Central

the police force sat in conclave. 1t
was the impending financial crisis in
the affairs Of Gotham's guardians that had
brought them all together. and there was not
one present who did not show detcrmna-
ton to make stanch fight for the
old time pay. The meeting quite a
harmonious one. Some little discussion engaged
in about the most feasible manner of securing favor
in the courts and in regard to the grading of
ment. but the gatherings opinion was evidently in
of giving their long consideration before
finally determining upon 1t. 10 this end Inspector
