trician Told an Amazed
BaZOO Scribe
The God OF the Sable Robe to
be Retired From Earthly
HauntS.
Some of the Coming Wonders
of the Vivid Iightning's
Freaks.

Hearing that Mr.. Sphar, an able electrl-
clan from Californis, was In the city yes
terday on his way TO the electrical exhlbl-
ton, a BAZoo representative called upon
him TO learn something OF the progress Of
the science.
! Mr.. Sphar is a genial and pleasant gen.
tleman and an enthusiast In electrical mat
tiers.
He stated that there was no place in the
world where the climate, soil and general
facilities were greater for the successful and
careful study of electricity and electrical
currents than California, end at the present
time no place where tie real secret OF this
powerful and invisible force which he
terms the "Fifth Element" has been SC
nearly solved. He had made electricity his
special study for thirty years
and believed that the time was not fal
distant when it would become
the chief dependence of CT, ilization for al
most every economy known 10 man. 1t:
use would enter largely into medical
science, solving mysteries and diseases
heretofore shrouded with impeneirable-
ness. Ii would become the chief motive
power, supplant all other kinds OF ilgh'
and fuel. II would also take the place o.
all other modes of communication at
distance. Even the mails would eventually
be discontinued, and correspondence b'
carried on solely by electricity. The won
derful advances OF the few past years, &C
cording to Mr.. Sphar, are as nothing wher
compared with what will come In the mex
quarter of a century.
81 see, Mr.. Sphar," said the reporter
"tbat attempts have been made with mon
or less success TO employ electric lights 10
locomotives aud cars. Do you think the.
will succeed"
electrical lights will be used for al
railroad purposes but not In the way 1T i

expect to Zig 1t the roads instead of the IL

OSCEOLA ITEMS.

Osceola, Sept. 3.-[Correspondence. j
Circuit court convened Monday, Judge
Burton on the bench.
The defeated candidates take IL grace
fully.
BY compact Of the executive COM
mittees of the republican and greenback
parties they have agreed on a split-tailed
ticket. The republicans take the offices OF
representative, attorney, treasurer, assessor,
and surveyor, while the greenbackers take
the Offices OF collector, sheriff, public ad-
mipis;rstor, coroner, and both district
judges. This is very fortunate division
for the greenbackers, as il gives them the
best offices in the county, by which they
will be able TO maintain party organ, and
il there is any life in them at all they can
nouri>h it, provided they succeed IN their
undertaking. 1t is doubtful If the masses
of the republicans will sustain the ticket:
The greenback convention will be held
Wednesday. The republican convention
Saturday of this week.
The following is the platform adopted by
tho Democratic county convention OF last
Monday:
Resolved by the Democratic party OF St
Clair county.
First-That 1--WE endorse the declaration
of principles made by the national demo
cratic convention.
Secoud-That Grover Cleveland and
Thos. A. Hendricks. the nominees OF the
party for president and vice-presidens, are
entitled to the support of all voters wh(
favor an honest, impartial and economical
administration of public affairs, and the
prosecution and conviction OF the infamous
gang of thieves who have for years, unde
radical rule, plundered the national treas
ury.
Ihird-That the people of this countr.
should neither forgive nor forget natona
crime. and therefore the electoral fraud
1876. perpetrated by the radical party, will
the aid of a set of uDconyicted and IN
hung scoundrels, BY which S'muel III
den was deprived of the presidency OF In
United States, should receive the eterns
condemnation of the people.
Fourth-That we favor an honest 40
ministration of the affairs OF our country
and the election of men OF letegIl'y, ca
pability and democracy.

ST. LOUIS STYLE.

81. Louis Is DOuDQ 10 Indtutoln hCi
reputation as a very, very slow and
pokey old town, even if she has to
sacrifice a few thousand dollars to do
SO. Everybody there considers it
bounden duty to move with the gait
of old Rip Van Wrinkle, and when
ever a citizen forgets himself and gets
a teu-cent move on him, the fire de-
partment is called out and the sleep
ing policeman nudged into a semi
conscious state and asked to arrest
the wild man. Business is done on
the take-it-easy plan, and no one gets
in a sweat, even in dog days. The
only lively inhabitants are the gam
blers and mosquitoes; they are all busl-
ness.
St. Louis bad grand opportunity
to spread herself, Gin fact, she has had
severaD in the opening of the exposi-
ton, which took place last night, but
as usual with her, the opportunity
went begging and the spread was
deferred; it will come along in about
thousand years. Owing to the apa-
thetic spirit of the managers OF this
exposition, it was no: advertised
where such would do the most good,
and as the result, the hoped-for crowd
Of visitors failed to materialize. In
stead of planting an advertisement in
every paper in the state and in many
in Illinois, Kentucky. Arkansas
Texas and other states, and pasting
attractive posters wherever vacant
bill board, barn or fence offered OPP
portunity, the studied effort seems tt
have been to keep people from find
ing out anything about the affair, fo
fear they would visit the city, an'
thereby disturb the somDOlence o
the inhabitants. And then such EN-,
terprise would smack too much
Chicago or Kansas City, and, be CAD
sab, that would never do!
But more than this /: The railroad:
thinking the exposition would dra'

thrown in the way, made ample PREF
arations for handling heavy passer
ger traffic. Alack a-day! How the
