A Manufactured Scar.

C.J. w. James, waiter at the Opera
restaurant, on Main street, was tried
before Police Judge Owens yesterday for
battering Charlie Lin, a cook at the
same place. He was accused of attack
ing the Chinaman with plate and cut
ting him on the chin with knife. In
support of his testimony the
heather had crescent shaped
wound upon his chin, which ap.
pesred remarkably like that which
would be produced by a knife. The
Court being eomew hat suspicious, how
ever, summoned DR.. Morrison, the
Police Surgeon, who in open court ex.
amined the wound and found it to have
been artificially laid on with cobbler's
wax, which when removed disclosed
no scar at all. The defendant was

A VOLUNTARY DESERrION.

Mrs. Eersinger says That Is why

habeas corpus case came before
Judge Wade yesterday, behind which
lies a little story. George and Mary
Persinger are, or rather have been, man
and wife. All went happily in their
home, so far as known, until one Isaac
Thomas came to board at their house.
For some reason or other Thomas got
between the couple, and on the 4th day
of August he came to the officials and
preferred charges against Persinger, com
planning that he had threatened the life
Of Mrs. Persipger. An officer was sent
down to arrest Persinger, and when he
was taken way the wife said she would
follow at once, coming to the court
by the street Car. She never came,
and for several days she could not be
found. At last she was discovered to be
at the Moro Castle, but she refused to
have any further relations with her hus-
band. On last Wednesday she filed an
affidavit for divorce, and yesterday Per
singer swore out writ of hsbeas corpus,
alleging that she was illegally restrained
of her liberty by Thomas. When
brought into court she stated that she
was acting by her own volition, uninfu-
enced by any person. While the matter
was before the court, and after the
Judge had refused to interfere, Persinger
made renewed attempts to induce her
to return, but she firmly refused to do

this desertion on the part of his wife.

HOTTEST WEATHER KNOWN.

"What is the hottest weather
ever known in the United Statess
The question is answered in the
May bulletins of the Kentucky
statistical weather service. The
highest temperature recorded by
the United States signal service
was at Phoenix and Fort Mcdowell,
Ark, IN June, 1888. The ther-
mometer registered 1I9 degrees.
However, unofficial observers re-
port temperatures as high sas 120
and 122 degrees at Mammoth
Tank and humboldt, New. The
coldest weather recorded by the
service was So degrees below zero
at Poplar river, Mont. But this is
a warm place compared with
Werchojrnsk, Siberia, the coolest
inhabited spot on the globe. The
thermometer there has been as low
as 80 degrees below zero. In view
of these figures, let us not COM
plain of a paltry so degrees above

shrdows which have for ages gung
over the dark continent are lifting
rapidly. The sunligot of civiliza-
ton will shine for its races before
the close of the century,
The moving purpose of the
Congo railway is probably trade
but there is another object behind
some of the subscriptions to its
stock. There has been growing
in the minds of men in both Eu-
rope and America the conviction
that the slave trade in Africa
should be stopped. The cries of
the poor blacks have issued from
the jungles and wildernesses of
that great continent and smitten
the ears of civilized men. The
outrages of the slave Arab traders
are too horrible to be endured.
The stories of wrongs and ravages

have raised a strong sentiment
in favor of the immediate supres.

The Congo railway would open the
way at once to the heart of the

UNCHANGEABLE FEATURES.

Shrewd dectives do not depend
for Identification on such change
able adjuncts to the face as beard
and hair, which may Re so easily
changed as to quantity and color.
They have learned to scrutinize
more closely. An experienced
detective says: ssThere is one
part of mans face that he can
never change. Draw a circle
over the face taking in the eyes,
eyebrows, lower part of the fore
head, the nose and that part OF the
cheeks on each side Of the nose
and just beneath the eyes. This
portion of the face always remains
the same. A man can shave a
long beard off, clip his hair and
leave or shave his moustache, but
that portion of the face within the
circle described above will remain
the same"
The photograph of a person
magnified by small glass will
so fix this part Of the face on the
memory of an observing person
that any disguise assumed can
easily be detected. We are all
too apt to know people by the
most changeable parts of their
personality. We think the eye
itself the best organ for Identified
ton. That does not change color
and has expressions which cannot
be altered OF effaced. In fact,
more of the real person, or soul,
shows through the eye than
through all the balance of the
features. The character will write
its history on the face, also, in
/ inefaceable lines which can be
read by shrewd and experienced
observers. Mental characteristics
will chisel themselves out in the
features whether we will or no.

America has 100000 acres
of corn growing this year. This
means crop of 2,000,00O.O00
bushels, worth about $s0O,000,0O
at home. OF this enormous pro-
duet we shall use at home all but
about 25,OOO,0OO bushels. That
is to say, only about 1000 bushels
out of every $4,000 bushels pro-
duced will be shipped abroad.
These figures show the relative
value of our home and foreign
markets, and is a proof that we
should never sacrifice a home
market for the sake OF building
up one in foreign lands.

A BOSTONEsE ROMANCE.

"Will this-tLis disappointment
eventuate in any modification OF
your plans for the future, Osgood
son!' said the young girl, softly,
as she wiped her spectacles, re-
placed them with care and looked
through them in regretful,
sympathizing, almost tender man
ner at the downcast youth.
"My plansg" he replied, drearily.
"What are plans to me! who

The answer you have just given
me reduces to .irremediable choas

projected by the stereoptican Of

A shadow of pain fitted across
the brow of the young woman.
From where she stood, on the in
side of gate in the rear of one of
Boston's noblest mansions, she
looked out over the common,
where light hearted but mature
children were playing in the
decorous, thoughtful, cultured
manner peculiar to the Boston
child, and feeling of pity for the
young man who stood on the
| other side of the gate and leaned
on the post stirred her soul.
"Surely, Osgoodson,'' she said,

FEVER EASY TO PREVENT.

"Nothing,n says DR.. Edison of
the New York Health Department,
in recent article, sis more dis
creditable to the civilization of
the nineteenth century than the
existence of the typhoid fever"
1t is discreditable, he maintains,1
because 'sof all the diseases it is
the most easily preyentable."
Scientists have insulated its germ
and taught its characteristics, yet
their teachings as to modes of pre-
vention are utterly lost upon the
larger portion of the public. Ty-
phoid fever is rarely due to any
other cause than polluted water,
milk or meat. Polluted water is
responsible for most cases of the
disease, and well water in the
country, as well as in towns, cities
and villages, is commonly polluted.
sit is safe to say" according to
DR.. Edison. ssthat there is not a
well in the country the water of
which is safe to drink. Most of
the cases OF typhoid fever occurring
in the city in the fall are caused
by water drunk from wells during
the summer outing" The fact
that the water of these wells is
nice and sweet tasting counts tor
nothing. The brighter it looks
the greater probability that it is
'swhited supulchre." The wells
being sunk near the houses, in the
vicinity of cesspools, they draw
their supply of water from con-
taminated earth. The germs of
typhoid thus enter the wells and
render them reservoirs of poison,
however pellucid and charming
. their contents may appear to the
thirsty seeker after health. "Dur-
ing the last year," says the Doctor,
IL have visited twenty towns sup
piled with water from dug or driv-
en- wells; in every instance the sup
ply was polluted, andin most cases
: its pollution was the cause of the
prevalence of typhoid fever" The
bacillus typhosus, to which the
, disease is due, is contained in the
r spittle of typhoid fever patients.
It's easily destroyed by such dis
, infectants as corrosive sublimate
, and carbolic acid. Ice often dis
seminates the disease. Though
, boiling water is fatal to it, cold
s does not hurt the germ to which
5 the fever is due even If a tempera-
D ture % degrees below zero is
: reached. DR.. Fordyce Barker re-
$ Gently demonstrated that twenty
e two cases OF typhoid fever develop
Il ed at popular watering place
were due to the use of ice taken
! from lake near by. The ice had
Y been cut from point near the
r entrance of a sewer. Only those
| who used this ice had the disease.
and when the use of this ice was
: discontinued that this epidemic
ceased. Milk is sometimes the
) carrier of typhoid fever germs
v In such cases it is contaminated
e by the water with which the milk
cans are washed, or it gets the
v germs through the digestive system
2 of the COW. In almost every case
/ lit seems safe to say, the disease
e germ is derived ultimately from
el water contaminated by drainage
,tI from cesspools.

WE BIDE OUR TIME.

While selling Mrs. Col. Prescott
four pounds of prunes for a half
dollar the other day, Constable
Button entered and asked us to
step across the street to the Office
of Esquire Williams. We obeyed
the request and were at once
served with a warrant charging
us with keeping bales of hay on
the sidewalk in front of the Kicker
office, to the detriment of pedes-
trians. As is well known, we run
grocery, feed store, harness shop,
bazaar, and music house in con-
nection with the Kicker, and the
hay was out for a sign. We were
tried, convicted, and fined $9-the
grossest outrage ever perpetrated
in the name of the law.
We shall bide our time. That
is, we shall begin next week and
show Squire Williams up as a
drunkard, dead-beat, absconder,
embezzler, and perjurer, and if we
can't drive him out of this county
in six weeks we will forfeit lung.
The man who made the complaint
did it to get even with us for re-
fusing to lend him our only button
behind shirt. From this out he is
a marked man. We will begin
on him next week, and we'll bet
ten to one he hangs himself inside
of a month Kicker.
