George VI. Rider Dies on the GallOWS
For ii CoWardly Murder.

by George NJ. Riders attorney to
Governor Morehouse, asking for |
thirty days respite, was received,
stating that the governor refused to
interfere. Immediately upon the
receipt of the telegram Rev. DIR.
Sharp held religious services with
Rider in the Jail, lasting about half
an hour. During the services Rider
stood perfectly erect and motionless,
holding bunch of flowers presented
by Miss Mamie Elliott.
At LOG he ascended the scaffold
perfectly composed, not treInor
visible. Sheriff Elliott asked him if
he had anything to say and he re
piled that the statement previously
made to the reporters was the truth
and that he had nothing. He shook
hands with Deputy Ayers and said:
"May God bless you all, may God be
with you"
He was escorted to the scaffold by
Sheriff Elliott and Deputy Ayers.
Outside of the Jail yard was an eager,
curious throng, but inside no one
was present except the officers named,
Drs. Bell aud Davis, Dr. Cabell of
Carrollton, the reporters and guards.
He was not bound until reaching the
scaffold, when his arms were pinion-
ed.
r While this was being done he re-
marked that sit was great thing for
= man to 60 off with clean heart. y
At LOG the moose was adjusted.
: Sheriff Elliott said, ''Does that feel
all right?"
'sThat is comfortable, was the
answer.
A minute later the cap was adjust
ed and Rider handed Officer Young
- the flowers with the request
= that they be put on his coffin
and bowling his head, said: MAY
IS God keep me and have mercy"
At I'LL the trap was sprung ant
the body shot through distance O
eight feet. At 1:23 he was pro
nounced dead and cut down.

childhood, and this is what he pro.
duced: " How dear to my heart is the
school attended, aud how l remem-

fornia; in SO the discovery of gold at
Pixies Peak flooded the west with ad.
venturers; in '69, Virginia City; in
'79, Leadville; while 'S6 will eclipse
the record by discoveries all over the
west. But still, as every one knows,
all the discoveries that preceded the
excitement were made the yea-s pre-
vious, which brings the IS into prom
inence. This is 1888 and the rush
that will surely come next year will be
on account of the discoveries made
this year.

OLYMPIA WASHINGTON TERRITORY: FRIDAY EVENING MARCH

UNCLE EsEK's WIsDOM-I have
heard of men who knew more than
they could tell, but have never met
one. If a man has genuine idea, he
can make himself understood.
Literature is the diet of the common
mind, but genius feeds on unwritten
things.
You may travel good ways on
whisky, and travel fast while you
are going, but you can't get back
when you want to.
When you have learned to listen
you have already acquired the rudi-
ments of good education.
Faith won't enable man to lift a
ton all at once, but it will, ten pounds
at time.
Genius invents, talent applies.
have never seen an idea too big
for sentence, but have read thou
sands too big for an idea.
Vanity and jealousy are the two
weakest passions in the human heart,
and, strange to tell, they are the most
common.
A thoroughly neat woman is Joy
unspeakable, but dosn't she make it
busy for the dust and for the people
in her neighborhood.
We find plenty of people who don't
average well; they know too much
for one man and not quite enough for
two.

Electric SunstrOke.

Under the above heading Engineer
ing Of London directs attention to a
paper recently read before the French
Society of Surgeons by NJ. Defontaine,
doctor-in-chief to the Creusot Steel
Works NJ. Defontaine states that work
men employed in operating the elec-
trio forges at Creusot are subject to \
form of sunstroke, which he attributes
to the intense light radiated from the
focus of the forge. Ordinary arc
lamps are incapable of producing such
effects, as the light is not sufficiently
intense, but these forges emit light
of more than 100000 candles from
few square centimeters of surface, pro-
ducing on men exposed to their glare
physiological consequences previously
unheard of. Frequently after two or
three hours work, the men complain
of pains more or less intense in the
neck, the face and the forehead, SIM
ultaneously with which the color of
the skin is changed to reddish-brown.
Further, in spite of the precaution
taken by the men Of shielding their
eyes with dark glasses, the retina is
affected to such a degree that for some
minutes after ceasing work the opera
tives are totally blind to all objects H.
Illuminated with common daylig hit, nor
is perfect vision restored until nearly
an hour after. The conjunctiva are
irritated and remain in state of con-
gestion for As hours, and this is ac-
companied by painful feeling as of
some foreign body introduced under
the eyelids. The secretion of tears is
augmented, constant flow being kept
up for "a hours, during which the
patient suffers from insomnia, due to
pain and the abnormal flow CT tears,
and possibly also to fever. During
the following days the skin peels off
the face and neck, which become of
deep red color, fading away about the
fifth day. In cases of ordinary sun
stroke heat may have some influence,
but in those considered above the
whole effect is due solely to the action
of an entense light.
The value of the observation lies in
the suggestion as to the way in which
sunstroke Of the indicted type is pro-
duced. 1t suggests, for instance, that
the whole matter may be a question
of the rapidity of the vibrations orig
mated by the luninus body, whether
those that are known under the name
of light or those slower ones that are
described by the word heat. Mole
cular changes in the system due to
heat, or light, or both, produce in
some way not yet definitely explained
the affection known IA sunstroke.
Whatever throws light on the condi-
tons or nature of these changes helps
to clear mp a very obscure and puz-
zling subject, especially related to the
functions Of the nervous system, and
bearing at the same time on the me-
chanics Of ethereal vibrations. Heat,
light and chemical effect are all con-
nected, and very possibly all involved
in this particular problem. 1t offers
magnificent possibilities for students
who have the courage and patience to
attack it.

More Facts for WOrkingmen.
Democratic Watchman

1t is claimed by the defenders of the
monopoly tariff that is has increased
the number of workers in metal, wood,
woolens, pottery and chemicals. The
proof is wanting. Experience proves
the contrary. For instance so long as
the tariff on quininc remained. only
three firms in this country were en-
gagged in it's manufacture. Since the
duty was taken off the number of
quinine manufactures in this country
has increased to sixty-fve, or three
thousand per cent. The same is true
of the manufacture OF citric acid.
Since the tariff on raw hides has been
abolished the manufacture of leather
and of boots and shoes have rapidly
multiplied. These facts disprove the
assertions of the monopoly tariff men.
But it said that the farmers have
been greatly benefited by the high
tariff. How comes it, then, that the
farmers to-day are poorer than their
ancestors were; that the tenant farm
er, as a rule, fails to make ends meet
that there is not home market for
all the farmers in the United States
produce, and that they are obliged to
find market in foreign countries for
over three millions of dollars worth of
their products every year? Let the
protectionists" crack these nuts if
they can.
Finally, nobody disputes the state
ment that many thousands of men
are now employed in mechanical pur-
suits of this country. But if farming
paid as well as the "protectionists"
would have us believe, many thous-
ands of those mechanics would be
farmers to-day, for they were raised on
farms and were driven away from the
farms because under the monopoly
tariff farming doesn't pay.
A freer commerce will give both the
farmer and manufacturer better
market. America should be the gran
ary and the workshop of the world,
and America can be both under iiber-
allied tariff laws.

How CAMPHOR is MADE.-Camphor
is made in Japan in this way. After
a tree is felled to the earth it is cut
into chips, which are laid in tub or
large iron pot partially filled with
water, and placed over a slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the
tub steam slowly rises, and heatin &
the chips oil and camphor. OF course
the tub with the chips has a close ly
fitting cover. From this cover a
bamb 90 pipe leads to a succession of
other tubes with bamboo connection,
and the last of these tubes is divided
into two compartmen hts, one above
the other, the dividing floor being
perforated with small holes to allow
the water and oil to pass to the 10 wer
compartment. The upper compart-
ment is supplied with a straw layer,
which catches aud holds the camphor
i'll crystal in deposit as it passes to the
cooling process. The camphor is then
separated from the straw, packed in
wooden tubs and is ready for market.
The oil is used by the natives for
Illuminating and other purposes
