Robert Bannon, the Wagonmaker,
Leaves His Wife and Creditors.
Robert Bannon, the man who
was employed by John Holm, has
shaken the dust of Salem from his
feet and sought pastures new and
green. On Thursday of last week
he went to Portland, presumably to
purchase stock, but since then no
word has been heard from him.
Aside from leaving his wife, who
has rooms at Mrs. Wilson's near the
bridge, he leaves large number of
anxious creditors for greater or
lesser sums. Among them are John
Holm, f, 5. Lamport, G. f. Smith,
a. II. Ieaton, Amos Strong and
others.
The rumor was current among
those who were iii position to
know, that the married life of Mr..
and Mrs. Bannon was notas smooth
as it might have been. Although
they seemed to live happily together
there was !, great gulf between
them.
Mrs. Bannon was seen this
evening by /JouRNAL re-
porter She said her husband
had gone and she Knew not
where. When asked about leaving
her, she said; "Yes; he's left me |
andall his debts. He didn't tell me
where he was going, neither did
he leave me a cent of money. We
never quarreled until about six
weeks ago. Then we had
IA big quarrel and since
that time | have known that we
could never live together. Yes: he
was hard to get along with, but
never did any violence to me-"
with tears in her eyes she said she
was left penniless, but that was
better than riches and him to live

newspaper reporters interview with the
eldest son and heir of Mrs. Frances Hodg-

A member of the late Legislature

to reply, Eyes" 1t was a glorious
opportunity for a man to raise his
voice. No elOquence was necessary.
Crude but stalwart strength would
count for more than elOquence.
Whatever his fellows may say OF him,
whoever irrascible and hard to get
along with, or whether an angel OF
sweetness, the name of Senator Hix-
son stands out clearly defined in
that body. His attitude as fighter
of everything may have been Of the
genus "kicker"-but he never will
want any greater encomium than
this: "Three-fourths of the legisla-
ture of 1889 jumped on to me-" There
were others, too, who kept their
skirts clear-men who do not have
to apologize. But their name is not

Sounding Stones in BRITTANY.

Not far from the town Of Oman, in Brit
tany, are several large stones which have the
remarkable property of giving out when
struck a clear musical sound These stones,
according to Nature, are composed principal
y of the mineral known as amphibole, and
are of a roughly prismatic shape, about twen-
ty feet in length. They are not erratic bowl
ders brought by ancient glaciers, but have
been broken off from the neighboring strata
and worn into their present shape by the &C
ton of the waters of the river and sea, as, at
the point where they are found, the waters
of the river enter into small bay and are
forced back by the rising tide twice day.
There are numerous similar stones in the
vicinity which show the same phenomena,
but none SO perfectly as the one described.
The property of producing musical note is
very different from that of the 'ssinging
sands" which occur in various parts of the
world, and is, undoubtedly, simply due to the
hard, close grained structure of the rocks, as
we'll as the position in which they are placed,
those giving the clearest notes being lifted up
from the ground and supported at few
points only by other similar stones. A spe-
cies Of feldspar known as phonolite, or clink-
stone, gives similar sounds when struck by
the hammer

It is fact that the English holders of
confederate bonds have never given up
up the hope that they will sooner or
later, through the help of providence,
perhaps, get something for them. The
bondholders offer now to supply the
south with all the money it needs to de-
velop mines and manufactures. if the
south will contract to pay per cent. on
the bonds. Meantime it is said several
cart loads of the confederate bonds have
been worked off on travellers going to
the southwest. They thrust great rolls
of them and of worthless state bank
bills into their pockets, to fool the gentle
highwayman when he bids them throw
up their hands on train. Their real
money is meantime carefully concealed
elsewhere.

White dresses may be laid aside for wool
ones, on the approach Of cold weather, for
little girls of years of age and more. These
dresses are made with high, round waists and
straight, gathered skirts; sash of same ma
terial, or of silk, is tied at the back. In the
cut are illustrated two dresses, suited to girls
of and years Of age.
One of these dresses is made with low
bodice and skirt in tartan cheviot, and orna-
mented with braces and streamers in velvet
ribbon of the dark shade of the pattern;
similar velvet encircles the full sleeves,
which, like the pleated front in plain ma
terial, matches one of the light tints Of the
checks. The remaining dress is of Broche
wooden, set off with cuffs and yoke of dark
velvet. The full sleeves are gathered at the
top, and so is the stomacher of surah silk,
which is framed or bordered with pleated
braces, likewise of surah silk.

Princeton UuiOn:

Nearly all the newspaperbO boys who
were members OF the last legislature

says, was taken from the Glencoe

it is printed on a power press. Sorry
to inform our friend that neither the
UNION nor it's publisher can afford
new clothes this year. And as for
the power press-well, we will have
to worry along with our reliable
old Washington for some time yet.

AN ANEMoMETER.

The direction of the wind is determined by
N cans of vanes, and its velocity by means of
tie thermometer. There are several forms of
tt is instrument. The most usual consists of
O small vane with fans, which the wind turns;
the velocity is deduced from the number Of
turns made in a given time, which is meas
ured by means of an endless screw and wheel
work. One commonly used and represented
in the cut is known as Robinson's anemome-
ter. It consists of metal cross with hemi-
spheres at the ends, and fixed on an axis. The
motion of this cross is transmitted by means
of an endless screw to q train of wheel work;
and from the number of turns made in
given time, which is indicated by the point
ers, the velocity of the wind is deduced. Say,
that the mean velocity is from IS to 20 feet
in second. With a velocity of 4 or Z feet,
the wind is moderate; with 30 or 35 feet, it is
frcsh with 81 or 70 feet it is strong; with
velocity of s. to 80 feet, it is tempest, and
from 80 to 120 it is hurricane. The velocity
of wind may, under favorable circum-
stances, be measured by observing the time
which the shadow of cloud takes to pass
over field or any space, the dimensions of
which are known.

The Atlanta ga. Constitution
says about trusts:
The cotton-oil trust gives the
latest exhibition of internal weak
ness. 1t was about to fall to
pieces when the leading certificate
holders got together, and, to use
their own picturesque language
proceeded to pump the water"
out of the concern. In a total
capitalization of $40, 100000 it
was found necessary to pump
out $21, 100000 of water; but
even this heroic treatment doesn't
seem to have helped the affair.
Its disease is a complication
of which dropsy was only an
element.

TRANSMISSION of Blood.

A remarkably successful operation of
this kind was recently performed at
Bellevue hospital, New York. A man
had been wellnigh suffocated by escap-
ing gas in his sleeping room. A man in
the. room with him was already dead
when the door was burst open. Life
barely remained in this man, Morris A.
Redding. At the hospital it was seen
that he was fast approaching death. A
powerful German, six feet tall, with
plenty of blood. offered to give some of
it to the dying man. Eight ounces were
taken from the suffocated mans arm to
make room for the strong, new blood.
The Germans arm was opened, and ten
ounces of blood were pumped from him
into Redding's arm, through rubber
tube with a silver mouthpiece. Blood
was taken from the left arm, above the
elbow. Reddings breathing was scarcely
perceptible when the operation began.
After receiving two or three ounces it
began to be normal. But the first
change was in the quickening of his
pulse. Fifteen minutes were required
to force the ten ounces of blood into the
patients arm. At the end of that time
his pulse was nearly normal and his face
wore flush. It was roster than that of
the brave and kindly German who saved
his life, for his countenance had grown
pale under the process. He soon recov-
cred, however. So did the man who
was SO near death. Undoubtedly he
would have crossed the borderland only
for the operation.

thousand dollars in debt! This road
ten years ago was supposed to be
worth not over $2,O00,00O; but at
this time it is estimated that it's stock
would sell for $11, 100000 in New
York OrBOstOn. Now whencecOmes
this great increase in value in a
property which cannot pay it's debts
after earnings 50, 49, 900 in one year ?
$527 900 of these earnings went to
pay interest on bonds. At eight
per cent per annum this would indi-
cate an issue of $4,000 in bonds,
made on property which ten years ago
was worth two million dollars. An
other factor in running the WiscOn-
sin Central is the operating expenses
which amounted to 81 ,233, 900 for the
year. This snug sum includes, OF
course, the salaries OF any number OF
Vice-Presidents, general passenger
and freight agents, and expense OF
meetings of directors, ETC., etc. We
need not stop to inquire who these Of
ficers and managers are or VINO the
bOndhOlders are. Suffice 1T to say the
road is in good hands. So good that
when this report, showing enormous
earnings and a properly small dehclt
on the balance sheet, was produced,
the same old board of officers was
elected for the coming year. The
management by which the results
shown in the report of the Wisconsin
Central are brought about snot Civ
en- to to the public. The only thing
that is clear in the case is that this
road as now managed is no better
than any other highway robber. At
least one-half of the 81, 900 extort-
ed from the farmers, lumbermen and
miners of the Northwest last year is
sheer robbery.

The Human Foot Divine.

Some Wisconsin girls have formed an
organization called the Society of the
Heavenly Foot" SO it is said. 1t is not
a charity organization. as one familiar
with the Scripture text about the beauti-
full feet of those who bring glad tidings
might suppose. On the contrary. it is
a society for the growth Of literally beau
tiful feet. The girls have concluded that
the Almighty understands his business.
and knew the laws of beauty as well as
use, when he made the human foot
Consequently they are going to encour-
age the human foot, just as the creator
shaped it.
If there is anything more hideous than
another, it is foot that has worn high
heeled, pointed toed shoes two sizes too
small for it, twenty or thirty years.
Knobby, horny, misshapen, one toe point
ing upward in helpless appeal to heaven
against the Disagreement to which it had
been subjected. another crumpled down
out of sight and ashamed to show itself
the Chinese woman's foot is not whit
more ugly. The reason why women
wear stockings. and often shoes, into the
water at bathing resorts is said to be be-
cause. they are ashamed to show their
deformed feet.
Corns and horns upon the foot and
toes are produced largely because the
toes do not obtain exercise They are
cramped and stiffened, and so form de-
generate growths. If you can work
every joint in every toe freely. spread
ing the toes far apart so that they do not
touch each other, you will not be troubled
with corns or bunions. This is an excel
lent exercise for athletic girls and women.
as we'll as men and boys. A little prac-
tice evening and morning, limbering
ankles and liberating the toes. till they
are a. flexible as the fingers of pianist,
will in time cure the worst case of corn
or bunion.
Likewise wear shoes broad enough to
give the toes a chance for life. Give
them even half a chance and they will
reward you by becoming pink and rosy
like an infants and perfectly shaped.
Small feetthere are in plenty, but beau
tiful feet-there is not one pair in five
thousand. So let us welcome the heav-
emily foot society with rejoicing. Let us
hope that in time we shall have a genera
ton of American bellies who need not be
ashamed to show their beautiful, classic
bare feet. A belle with really aesthetic,
artistic taste is prouder of the perfection
of her bare foot than of the small size of
her shoe. She can both walk and run
with the grand free step of the ancient
Greek beauty.

The Age Of Greed.
The Western Rural.

Inc western Rural.
Never in the whole history of
the world has greed been so ram
pant as it is to-day. Yet greed
has destroyed some of the most
flourishing communities that
have ever existed, and it would
have utterly destroyed this re-
public before now but for excep-
tiOnal circumstances that have
been favorable to the people.
Our immense area of cheap lands
has been our salvation SO far.
and as these are taken up, and
land beOmes more valuable. the
condition of the masses grows
worse. The spirit ofgreed grows
stronger as it feeds upon it's prey,
until now it presents in this
country the most revolving pict-
ure OF depraved humanity that
human eye ever rested upon. 1t
makes practical traitors of citi-
zens. There are men in this
country who know that their
greed is weakening the republic
just as well as Jefferson Davis
knew that his cOnrse was in the
direction of the destruction of
the union.
