The New Church.

The M. E. church location has been
fixed on lot 5, bloak 81. This lies short
distance west of Captain Hanna's resi-.
dence.
A petition is about to be circulated to
raise portion of the finds with which
to build church building. Application
for material aid in this direction has also
been made to the extension board of the
NJ E. Church, and partial success, at
least, is sure in this channel.
It is expected that the building will be
at least % feet wide by so feet long and
run upward to the extent of high story.
1t will be built of wood, at cost of from
$4,000 to $4,000.
The WORLD bespeaks for this merito-
rious enterprise flow of liberal subscrip-
tons at the hands of our citizens. In fact,
the WORLD constitutes itself a committee
of one to thank anybody who may see fit
to increase the size of the pile, even
though he be not a citizen.

NOT A WEATHER PROPHET


Philosopher Tilton, who publishes the
WESTERN WORLD at Wa-Keeney, Kansas
some 800 miles west Of Kansas City
thinks the signs out his way point to 9
mild but wet winter: Farmers say the
corn husks are thin, and that the earth.
burrowing animals are building their
mounds high, as if preparing for freshets y
Il Kansas City Lite Stock Indicator.
The WORLD happens to know that
the first word Of the above editorial
item is not used in the nature Of a
personal slur. While appreciating
fully the intended compliment of the
Indicator, we must say, in justice to
a deserving and talented lady, that
the person whom we employ as our
regular correspondent at the impor-
tant station Of Collyer wrote that
last sentence.
Without limiting that weather
prophets, as class, do not know
their business, we are free to say
that Tilton never poses in that kind
of character in western Kansas.
He may speculate at times on what
is likely to happen as a result of
something else which he can not
forecast as happening this side Of
that. It is our opinion, for instance,
that a mild, watery winter here
would mean the almost certain fall
ure of next years crops.

KILLED WITH A RAMROD.

Conklin, of Norton, was out with
two boys, Howard and Dwight Mat.

the 14th ult., hunting quails. How.
ard, in going through a wire fence
discharged his gun accidentally, with
the result Of shooting the Conklin
boy through the heart with piece
of the ramrod. Howard, it appear.
ed, had put powder in the gun, and,
in his hurry, had failed to finish
loading the gun, leaving the ramrod

Supposed Attempted Suicide,

Supposed Attempted Suicide.
At l o'clock Tuesday, Dr.. Wilcox was
summoned hastily by Joseph Hughes,
who lives in the John Keeney farm house,
east of town, to go to see his wife, who,
Mr.. Hughes thought, had taken about
two tablespoonsful of laudanum with sui
cidal intent. DR.. Jones was also called.
Against her decided protest, an emetic
was administered. She rallied rapidly,
and is about well at this writing, we be-
ieve.
1t is not our purpose to penetrate the
closet of the family circle to drag out a
skeleton. What we have said rs known
generally in this community, as well as
the further fact that son of Mr.. Hughes
by another wife is at the bottom of the
trouble. We do not aim to assert that
the boy is to blame. We do not know.

INCREASE 1T.

1t is likely there will be a demand
at the next sitting Of the Kansas
Legislature for the salary of the at
torney general to be increased from
$500 to $1,000 per year. From
the way Mr.. Bradford has been work
ing of late, the WORLD believes that
such a measure deserves favorable
attention. It is a mean thing for a
state to seek the services of a five
thousand-dollar lawyer for any such
a. paltry sum as that which Kansas
now pays her attorney general.

EPITHElIOMA.

An Affection Which Concerns the Mem.
brane Liuing Most of the Internal Or
gans.
This word-now so sadly familia.
from the case of our great fellow-citizer.
General Grants one of the names of
carcinoma, or cancer. 1t is used be-
cause most cases of cancer are con
nected with the epithelum-the meni-
brane which lines most of the internal
organs and cavities of the body-or
with the epidermis (scarf-skin), which
covers the outer surface and is essen
italy of the same nature.
All our tiSSueS-muscles. membranes.
nerves, fat, bones, etc.-are built up
BY and consist mainly of cells. These
cells select from the blood, transform
and as simulate the elements essential to
their activity. growth and perpetuation.
They multiply by division. Tumors
result from a morbid multiplication of
cells.
Benign tumors simply crowd-as they
grow by the multiplication of cells
against the adjacent parts. In maIig-
nant tumors the multiplying cells in
filtrate into the adjacent parts. and thus
constantly enlarge their deadly area;
or they are taken up by the blood-ves-
sells and lymphatic vessels. particularly
the latter, and borne to distant glands,
where they set up the same deadly
action.
A cancer of whatever kind is always
IL, x>E
of which an epithelioma is one, is not
so malignant as soft cancer, in which
the cells preponderate over the fibrous
tissue. What is now called a sarcoma,
which was once thought to be a cancer.
is benign tlmor generally, but may
be malignant. 1t differs from a cancer
mainly in having its cells separated
from each other by intervening sub
stance. In the latter the cells lie
against each other-several hundred of
them perhaps-in (otherwise) empty
spa, eS. or nests. The microscope alone
distinguishes between the two-the
cancer and the sarcoma.
A cancer may long remain simply a
hard, painless tumor, with its true
character unknown. If it can be cut
out then, it may never recur. This.
therefore. is the time for its eXtirpation.
A cancer due solely to local irritation
is quite likely to be red when
operated on early. When due to hered-
itary faint, it is more likely to recur
under some new irritation.
The age at which cancers appear is
generally after forty. Hence the occur
renee of a hard tumor, say from forty
five and onward should awaken atten-
ton. But comparatively few tumorS
are cancerouS.
In cases where extirpation is imprac-
ticable. medical treatment may still do
much for the general health, the relief
of distressing symptoms, and averting
the progress of organic disease. =

A HYPNOTIC TEST.
The HypnOscope-An AnRsthetic Effect
Independent of Drugs.

The HypnOscope-An AnRsthetic Effect
Independent of Drugs.
Those who witnessed the antics and
eccentricities of the hypnotic subjects at
the Masonic Temple, presented by the
late Dr.. Beard and his assistants about
two years ago, will be surprised to hear
that doctor in France named Ochoro-
wicz has discovered a simple method of
ascertaining whether person is hypnot-
iSable or not, aud can even, after man.
ner, measure the amount of hypnotic
senSitiyeneSs which a person subject to
such influence NAV possess.
1t Will be remembered that the hyp-
notes at the Masonic Hall. when placed
in the hypnotic state by DR.. Beard, sang
danced, recited and vert through all
kinds Of antics, which cOnvulscd the
audiences with laughter One of the
most remarkable of the many phenome-
M of the hypnotic condition, however.
was local insensibility to pain. which
could be located at word of command
Of the operator.
The hypnoscope is q little tube of
magnetic steel about an inch long, open
at the top, the whole length of the tube
forming the two poles of the magnet.
A little strip of steel is placed on the
opening forming the armattlre. The
instrument can be made for fifty cents
To use it the armature is removed and
the tube placed on the first finger of the
person to be tested. Care must be
taken that the finger touches both poles
at the same time At the end of two
minutes the instrument is removed and
the result is noted
According to experiments performed
on persons taken at random, seventy
out of 100 show no result whatever, but
in the remaining thirty eases strange
and curious manifestations occur, and
DR.. 0chorowiez AYERS that all such
persons are hypnotics, and can be
hypnOtized at will by capable opera
tor.
Taking it for granted that such effects
can be produced with the hvpnoscope
it may be asked, What are the causes?
DR.. Ochorowicz himself attempts
solution of the problem, but it is evident
that he is better able to make the expe-
riments than to account for them. He
thinks the causes are magnetic. but
admits that magnetism will not wholly
explain the phenomena exhibited. He
then suggests that the causes are both
physical and psychical, or perhaps due
to a sixth sense mentioned BY Sir
William Thompson. and called by him
the magnetic sense All this shows that
DR.. Ochorowicz is at loss for any pos
tive information.
A physician of this city is now regu-
arly performing painless operations on
patients under the influence of hypno-
ism, without anaSthetics. This fact |
indicates that caution should be EN-
