Recent evidence seems to Indicate
that under certain conditions, veee-
table matter may be converted into
coal in II much less period than many
biologists have believed to be neces-
sary. At least an approach to such
conversion has been discovered in
some of the mines of the Upper
Hartz, in Germany, where some of
the timbers originally used as sup
ports have been transformed into
what appears to be a genuine Ignite,
brown coal. The time occupied by
the process cannot, it is believed,
have extended beyond four GEN.
turies-a very brief period compared
with that usually assigned to coal
formations.

AN UNsURMoUNTABLE OBSTACLE
The report of the Commission of
Engineers appointed to examine the
" Columbia Gateway" has been sent
to the Senate. 1t favors building a
jstty from Polt Adams, at an estimat-
ed expense of s3,550,O0O. The re-
port says that the use of stone is de-
sired, but the expense would be ma
terially reduced by using wooden
mattresses. Maj. Mendell, q mem.
Der of the Commission, has flied o
minority report, in which he says
that he is unable to approve of the
plan submitted; that the peculiar
circumstances of heavy sea waves,
strong and alternating currents, and
the presence of sand in unstable po-
sitions, introduce oil structions OF so
serious nature that they may be
said to place limitations upon the
application of we'll known principles
at the mouth OF the Columbia river.

THE DAKOTA MANS FARM.

Eyes. sir, said tue Dakota man,
as crowd of agriculturists seated
themselves around a little table,
Eyes, sir, we do things on rather q
sizable scale. I've seen man start
out in the spring and plow a furrow
until fall. Then he turned around
and harvested back. We have some
big farms mp there, gentlemen. A
friend of mine owned one on which
he had to give mortgage, and the
mortgage was due on one end be-
fore they con'd get it recorded on
the other. Yon see it was laid off
in counties"
There was a mnrmnr of astonish-
ment, and the Dakota man con-
tnued:
81 got letter from n man who
lives IL my orchard. just before /
left home. and it had been three
weeks getting to the dwelling house,
although it had travelled day and
night"
Distances are pretty wide up

Piled the Dakota nan. And the
worst of it is, it breaks up families
so. Two years ago | saw a whole
family prostrated with grief. The
women were ceiling, children howl
ing and dogs barking. One of my
men had his camp truck packed on
seven four-mule teams. and he was
around bidding everybody good
bye"
Where was he going2" asked a
Gravesend man.
He was going halfway across
the farm TO feed the pigs" replied
the Dakota man.
"And did he ever get back to his
family again.

piled the Dakota man.-Brookiyn

District

am candidate for the U. S. Congress
from your congressional district, composed of
the counties of Travis, Comal, Blanco, Bexar,
Medina, Bandera, Uvalde, Kinney, Edwards,
Kerr, Kendall, Gillespie, Kimble, Burnett,
Llano, Mason: Menard, Lampasas, McCul-
loch, Concho, Coleman, Runnels, Bastrop,
Williamson, Crockett and San Saba.
My candidacy is without regard to party
in any way, and when elected propose, as
congressman, to be bound by no party caucus,
but to support these measures only which may
best serve the interest of he people of this
district, of Texas, and of the country at large
You are aware that in making the present
apportiontment Of the state for congressman,
at the late session Of the Legislature, the ma
jority OF that body, insolent with unre-
strained power, and, therefore, contemp-
tuOus of the wishes of the people,
boldly announced that it WIS made with a view
to secure democratic majoriues in all the dis
trlcts, and to suppress the votes of the oppo-
Sition. Hence the counties Of this district,
though inhabited by people of the most diverse
pursuits, and conflicting interests were strung
together to secure majority over all opposi-
ton Of upwards of three thousand-suffcient,
as they hoped. to ensure their control.
Owing to this arrangement of the district, it
is made difficult and laborious one to cav
vass, but | expect to visit each county of il
before the election and to then address you in
person. Due notice of my canvass giving
times and places will be published
Very Respectfully.

Nashville Uenn,) American.
One of the most shameless and outrageous
acts of vandalism that has ever been chroniCled
has occurred at the state capitol during the
past few months, resulting in the wholesale
destruction of the archives Of the state of len
nessee; the record of the quartermaster's de-
partment of the United States, including all
the documents which affect the federal SOL
diers Of this state; six large volumes of the
supreme court docket, the only copy in exis-
tence; nearly all the report OF comptroller
Gaines; a large number of volumes of the
acts OF the general assembly, with appendices
Of the house and senate, together with an
unknown number of the decisions of the
supreme court. A box containing rare
books belonging to the Tennessee His
torical society was rihed OF its contents, the
damage being unknown, save where the books
were bound. Among these were some IL or
l6 volumes of Washington's Correspondence
and Messages, work of such extreme rarity
that It would command any price, being now
out of print. 1t is almost certainty that
these were sold for waste paper. Altogether
it is one of the most astounding thefts on rec
ord, the damage to the public being incalcu-
liable, while the profits must have been very
limited, as waste paper sells at low price.
How the records of the supreme court can be
replaced, if at all, is mystery. Many of the
Manuscripts and books of the Historical So
ciety are Of extreme rarity, and can never be
replaced in any way, no other copies being in
existence. Who were the guilty parties is not
known, but with the circumstances known a
clue might be obtained and the matter worked

RAPE or THE LOCK.

A Young Woman Dies from, Grief at the
Loss of Her Hair.
From the Pittsburg dispatch
Jennie Bogg, aged 10 years, died rather sud-
denly in Hagerstown. Md, on Thursday night
at the residence of Mrs. George Freaner. Her
case has some romance thrown around it,
from the fact that about week ago she came
into Mrs. Freaner's room early in the morning
and asked that lady If she knew who had cut
off her (Jennie's) hair. Mrs. Freaner replied,
in some surprise, that Of course she knew
nothing about it. AS Jennie was a plump,
trg. looking lass, and known to be the object
of attention from several admirers, this appar-
emily mysterious circumstance caused con-
siderable gossip in the town, where she was
we'll known.
The accounts she gave of the loss Of her
hair, which was noted for its thickness and
length, was that she had retired as usual, and
knew nothing further until she awoke in the
morning and found herself the victim of a
wholesale Grape of the lock-" Immediately
after waking she noticed that all the doors
were open and that draft was passing through
her room, and did not miss her much-treasured
tresses until after she had arose and dressed.
About a week before this successful attempt, it
is supposed the same party entered the house
and had almost obtained entrance into her
chamber when she awoke and said "Is
that you, Mrs. Freaner?" when the person
made his escape, much to the CONSERVATION
and fright of the unfortunate victim.
Whether she had been chloroformed by
some one anxious to secure her hair, or
whether it was the act Of some jealous rival,
were theories advanced and advocated with
equal warmth by different parties. 1t seems,
however, that she was taken violently with
symptoms of cholera morbus, and despite the
best medical aid, expired last night about
1890 O'Clock. The opinion of her friends is
that she died of grief at the loss of her hair.
Gov. Colquitt, one o. the most prominent
politicians in Georgia, now governor of that
state. and prominently mentioned as possible
senator to succeed the dying Ben Hill, has
become converted to prohibition, and insists
that the next legislature Of Georgia, shall pass
a regular Main law, prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale ofliquor in the state.
