Singular Exprrience OF Passengers over
She Chicago k Nsrthwestern Road.

CHICAGO, August 3.-when between Lake
Bluff and Lake Forest, few days ago, a
passenger train on the Northwestern road
ran over a swarm of bees which had come
out of the trunk of an old tree
standing in the pasture by
the roadside. The bees, angered, at the
death of their queen and comrades, flew
suddenly through the open windows into
the coaches and proceeded to attack the
passengers, who were thrown into the
widest confusion. The little insects were
swift in their work, and spared nobody.
Every effort to drive them off made them
all the more vicious and determined.

Mcdonnell, who pleaded guilty to treason
felony was released ON bail to appear at any

defense was very able. He argued
that nothing had been proved against him,
except that he had borne an assumed
name; but the Queen moved about under
an assumed name. Why had he not as
good right? He asked for justice, not
mercy. He was gratified that he was on
trial before Englishmen. There was no
claptrap as in Ireland. The prosecution,

How to Cool a Room.

The following method of cooling q
room could be used to advantage at
small expense: The composing-room
of the New Orleans PicGyune is situ-
ated in the upper story of its publica-
ton house, Just under the roof, and in
summer is extremely hot. An inspira-
ton seemed to have come to one OF the
oppressed occupants, and in accord
ance with it vertical wooden box was
constructed in corner of the room, with
openings at the floor and ceiling, and
furnished with pipe for supplying
water at the top, and pan and drain
at the bottom for receiving the flow
and carrying it safely away. The sup
ply shaft was bent over the upper end
of the shaft and fitted with rose like
that of watering-pot, SO as to deliver
a spray instead Of solid stream. On
connecting with a service pipe the
movement of the water was found to
cause an active circulation of the air
in that part of the room, which was
drawn in at the upper opening of the
shaft and issued again, cool and fresh,
at the floor level. The most surpris-
ing thing about the experiment seems
to have been the effect of the water in
cooling the air to degree much below
its own temperature. With Mississip-
pi water. which when drawn from the
service pipe indicated a temperature Of
"a degrees, the air in the room in which
the thermometer at the beginning
of the trial stood at 96 was cooled in
passing through the length of the shaft
to "a degrees. or about 20 degrees be.
low the temperature at which it entcr-
ed, and 10 degrees below that of the
water which was used to cool it. O
course, the absorption of heat by the
1 evaporation of q portion of the watel
accounts for its refrigerating effect
but the result seems to have been SC
easily and inexpensively attained tha1
the experiment would be well wortt
repeating in other cases.

The next legislative body Of this terri
tory will be composed of the best elements
to be found for our future legls-
lation, and in the selection of a president
and speaker the usual care should be eX
ercised toward securing men who will fill
the positions both acceptably and with
honor to the incoming state While look
ing over the field for speaker of the lower
house the idea is gaining expression that
Mark Ward, of KimbaIl, Brule county,
would be just the man for the place. being
identified with no particular faction and
one toward which all sections may harmo-
niously unite. While not being eharac-
terized as a willy wire puller or worker for
any particular scheme he is endowed with
that feature Of perception and organiza-
ton borne of former political experience,
and would grace the speakership with sat
isfaction TO all factions and to the people
of the territory Let the former strltes OF
ambitions politicians have no voice in the
selection of presiding officers, and the Sc
lection of Mark Ward would tend to har~
monize at the outset what promises to be
a stormy session.

A SaCkful of Dollars.

A very amusing incident happened
in court last week. Mr.. Nick Becker
had purchased a certain piece of ground
and executed his notes for the same.
Later on and before the last note had
become due it was discovered that the
survey did not hold out by quite num-
Der of feet, and, therefore, Mr.. Becker
declined to settle unless reduction be
made for the loss of land. Suit was
instituted, and last week judgment was
given for the amount of the note, less
so much for the loss Of land. Mr..
Becker seemed satisfied, and so soon
as he heard the decision of the court
approached the attorney for the plain
tiff and proposed to give him a check
in full settlement. The attorney de-
clined the check and was asked what
he wanted. "Gold, silver, or green
backs" was the reply. Very good!"
calculated Mr.. Becker, 'you shall have
it," And out of the courtroom he
went. Soon thereafter he returned
with a man he had hired and upon
whose back WINS a great sack, in which
was deposited 875 new silver dollars,
10 and cents in silver and one cop
per, making in all $S75.16, the amount
of the Judgment. He had the sack
laid at the feet of the attorney, and en-
joyed it more than the one who had to
see it deposited in the bank.-Render-

...... 60 Extremely Fragile Bones.

A peculiar disease attlicts the wife OF
an Episcopal minister now residing in
small town in Minnesota, near the
Wisconsin line. The minister is well
known over the Northwest, and the
facts here narrate were given by
the reverend gentleman himself. A
dozen or so years ago he married
a wealthy young lady of the little
Minnesota town, and has resided
there much of the time since. Last year
he took charge of church on the
Connecticut seacoast. hoping the change
of air and scenes might benefit the con-
dition of his well-nigh helpless wife.
The hoped-for benefits did not result,
and little while ago the couple re-
turned to their old home. The gentle
mans wife is afflicted with what is
known in common English as fragile
bones" All of the bones in her body
are gradually turning to a substance
esembling hard chalk. Several years
ago an acquaintance in helping her
out of a carriage broke her collar-bone.
As soon as it had healed one of her
arms broke while some one was assist
ing her from vehicle. A little later
the other arm dropped helpless at her
side when she attempted to make some
use of it. After a great deal of trouble
both of the fractures were reduced, but
in little while one of her arms was
broken in another place. the last time
caused by the sufferer merely lifting
sugar-bowl. Thus matters have run
along for several years, the unfortunate
woman breaking one of her limbs every
little while. The disease is gradually
spreading, and is now reducing the
bones of her legs to chalk. The great
est care is exercised to prevent the suf-
ferer making use of her limbs. She is
carefully lifted about, and is moved
around in an invalid's chair. Ply
sicians say if she should fall from
her chair or have an unusual shock all
the bones in her body from her knees
up would snap into small fragments,
and of course her death would ensue.
| The case has attracted unusual atten-
ton among doctors, and many of the
/ most prominent physicians in different
| parts of the country have been called
to attend the sufferer. They all unite
in prsnouncing the case hopeless, and
can suggest no remedy. There are COM
paratiYely few cases OF the same kind
on record. The one in question is said
to be the most prominently developed
of any of the cases recorded. Fragile
bones are caused by an absence of ami
NAL matter. The cause Of the disease
has never been discovered. The afflict-
ed lady in all other respects is appar-
emily enjoying the best of health. 1t is
said that death usually results in one
year, but in this instance the disease
has been fully developed for over six
wears. .-MilaUaukee Wisconsin.

The handsome m ajority for MIR. "A. L.
Huetson in this legislative district is not
only compliment to that gentleman but
a satisfaction to those who have all along
opposed the return of those identified
with the actions of the last legislature.
The chance is given Mr.. Huetson in the
council to represent county advanced in
every material feature of development, and
his constituents will scan his actions with
that degree exercised only where implicit
confidence is imposed in the person. The
ADVOCATE will look toward the record OF
Councilman Huetson with no little degree
of interest, going as he does at time
when any false misstep will be regarded
more important than would naturally re-
suit under different circumstances The
coming legislatorial body will probably be
called upon to perform more important
actions than any of the preceding orga-
nizations, but with Mr. Huetson in the
council and Mr.. Helvig in the house we
have reason to believe that our interests
will be closely attended to, and that rep
etition of 80 il, unsatisfactory represen-
tat;on will not be the result.
