The regular jury term of the 9Th

The regular jury term of the 9Th
District Court convenes here on
next Monday week, and it will be
we'll for itigants, witnesses, ac-
cused parties and jurors to bear
this in mind, and be promptly on
hand. There will be great deal
OF business before the court, and
particularly on the criminal docket.
Let our juries come prepared to
punish crime and enforce the laws,
that peace and good order may pre-
vail. District Attorney Newman
says he will be early at his post
and will wake up'' the evil-doers.
But he can do nothing without the
cooperation of juries. In fact,
the punishment of crime rests
solely with the grand and petit
jurors, ana 1t Is high time that they
realize the situation. Crime must
be suppressed or we will have no
peace or security in our country.
A rigid enforcement of the law
against carrying concealed weapons
and a few good hangings, and the
work will be light in the future.
Every good man we have heard ex-
press himself is decidedly in favor
of a vigorous and sweeping punish
ment of all violators of the law,
grea. and small. We hope it will
surely be done.

The floating grain mills on the
Danube are perhaps It's most curious
feature Fancy two canal boats moored
parallel to each other, in mid-rlver,
about fifteen or twenty feet apart, and
supporting between them the crank of
a gigantic mill-wheel, turned by the cur
rent of the stream. Fancy, however,
the sides of one OF these boats, carried
up one story higher than those Of the
other, then rooted over, 10 Noah Ark,
with doors and windows as needed-and
you have a fair idea Of these Danube
grain mills, some four or five thousand
Of which, IN groups of ten or dozen to-
gether, are scattered along the watery
highway, all the way down the Vienna to
Belgrade. Each mill is inscribed with
its owners name, and [ found time, In
passing, to copy one or two, such as
"Juhas Istvany ces Landos" and
Jonasvitch Makopoponi, as being
curious samples of Magyar peasant

shooting by these mills, so close that the
slow " clack, clack OF the mill wheel
is distinctly audible, it Is amusing to
note the inmates looking for all the

What a EaIiinu Chimney Did.

a very singular trouble has overtaken
the producers Of salt in Cheshire Co.,
Eng. 1t seems that for some time past,
instead of digging out the rock salt
from the mines, the salt men have al
lowed large quantities Of fresh water to
run into the pits, and when it became
brine have pumped it out and crystalliz-
ed it. This was IN one way dangerous
operation, as the ground underneath the
town of Northwich was honeycombed
with mines, and the water gradually
sapped the foundations. However, the
process was a slow one, and it would
have been years before it produced bad
results. But, few weeks ago tail and
heavy chimney fell to the ground with a
sufficient jar to crack open gap III the
brook that supplied the mines with
water, and into this opening the water
flowed until the mines were wholly filled.
The fear now is, and it is well founded,
that, as the water will eat away the salt
supports the whole town will sink, de-
m0lishing all the buildings that it con-

THE CHILDREN LAUGHED AND SANG,

II was in the chill December
And the Angel of Death came by,
And he rustled his wings of darkness
As he swept through the wintry sky:
household OF happy creatures
Dwell quiet and free from care,
And the Angel stole in SOFTLY
And stood all silent there.
Out the children laughed and sang at their play;
Never a fear nor pang had they.)
And the Angel swiftly in silence
Struck home the mortal blow,
And in the wiHtry morning
He laid the father low:
And wildly the Borrowing mother,
Bewildered and stunned with woo,
Walled in her lone bereavement,
And wished that she too might go!
Out the children laughed and sang at their play;
Never a fear nor pang had they.)
Cold in the lonely chamber
Lay the fathers form at rest,
And they laid the delicate hower-vreaths
Upon his quiet breast;
And forth from his home they bore him,
And hid him from sound and sight,
And they heaped the cold earth above him
While the children's feet trod light.
(But the boys went home to their happy play;
Never a fear nor pang had they.)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
Where the grass with its glistenlng hoar-frost
Lies over that heart 70 brave;
And sometimes they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain;
And they ray in their childish voices:
VIII papa never come again?"
(But soon they laugh and sing at their play;
Never fear nor pang have they.)
50 God If His infinite pity
Shuts the eyes of the children dear,
And they see not the fell Destroyer,
Though their eyes are so bright and clear.
And l said: - There's Past for the children
With its terrible pangs and stings;
And for them no brooding Future
Spreadeth its threatening wings.
All they see is the Precautionary;
And so let them laugh and sing at their play"

Natural Gas


The city of Bradford, Pa, and other
places IN the neighborhood are all light
ed and heated with gas from a well bored
d 10, Oh, but found to be unproductive.
Inc force of the gas was such that when
i8hted pillar Of fire fifty feet high was
formed, with a roar that could be heard
a mule or more. The we'll had been
burning long time before the feasibili-
ty of utilizing it was thought of. A
company was formed for the purpose of
carrying the gas into the city, and it is
now distributed all over the place in
pipes. A gas pipe with jets attached is
run into the parlor or kitchen stove, and
when fire is wanted a lighted match is
thrown in and the gas turned On. The
gas possesses great heating qualities.
and apartments are warmed as quickly
and better than if coal was used. For
illuminating purposes it was not so good
at first, but processes for refining were
applied, and now the natural illuminator
is unsurpassed by the finest artificial
gas. 1t is SO cheap-being supplied at a
monthly rate, instead of by the thousand
that the people seldom put out their
lights. tits burned all day and night In
stores, hotels, private houses and even in
the streets, municipal moonlight being
unknown. Gas wells have come to be
more valuable than oil wells, and the sud-
den and phenomenal appearance Of oil in
one of the principal wells has created
CONSERVATION among the owners and con-
sumers. A few days ago one Of the
wells ceased in its gas supply, and on
examination it was found to be half full
of oil. Fifteen barrels of excellent crude
oil were pumped out, and the gas flowed
again. One or two of the other wells
have exhibited the same phenomenon,
and it is necessary to pump the oil daily
before the gas viii flow. The sudden APP
pearance of oil in territory that was con-
sidered dry has not yet been satisfactory
explained.
