Did it Elect Harrison?

The Nster referred to was one of the
familiar black and white Log Cabin
Sarsaparilla posters sent out by an en-
terprlsiug firm engaged in the manu-
facture of old log cabin home-cures,
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, and among other equally
valuable articles includes the famous
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, which is every
where recognized as the best of all
spring medicines and stands without a
rival for the cure of all disorders which
are the results of impure blood.
The spring time of the year is the sea
son when the system needs renovation;
The long winter has caused the blood to
become filled with impurities.
There exists no better means to aid
and strengthen the system at such an
urgent period than the use of Warmers
Log Cabin Sarsaparilla- which speedily
restores the blood to pure and healthy
state, which insures health and hap
pIness.
The reputation Of the firm putting out

or the cure of all those diseases peculiar
the kidneys as well as those which
ure the results of disease in those or
gans, and which has met with such
phenomenal success for the past ten
years.
We understand that the posters re-
'erred to made their appearance in many
parts OF tie country sometime prior to
the Chicago Convention which nominal
I'd Gen Harrison as candidate for the
presidency-hence the use made of the
PORTRAITS of the Harrisons, father and
grandson-was either the result Of re-
markable political foresight or in accord
ance with the historical association of
the old Log Cabin with the name OF
Harrison.

AN ENTINCT VOLCANO FOUND.
Result Of Tunneling Red Mountain, Near Birm-
ipgham, Alabama.

lpghau, Alabama.
For two months wCrkmen have been
tunnelins Red Mourtain, two miles from
this city, the object beiog 70 slow the
passage or water from the Cshawba riv-
er TO Birmingham. From the north
heading the tunnel has been comp pleted
s distance of 500 feet. A few dsys ago
the workmen struck cave. This was
soon passed, leaving small openings on
each side of the tunnel. One day last
week an immense amount of dirt and
rock from above caved in, com pletaly
filling the tunnel for a distance of efty
feet.
When this had been cleared away the
worsmen found themselves in the center
of large rock vailed room. The csye
on the left of the tunnel remained un-
changed; but the opening on the right
had extended until It was about fifty feet
IN length and fifteen feet high. some of
the men started to explors the cave.
After few winding passages they came
TO an immense opening, the descent Of
which was almost perpendicular. The
passages leading to 1t were carefully ex-
amlned. The walls were of solid rock,
with only small crevice here and there.
At one place spring OF clear water WAS
found. When first discovered bold
stream was flowing, but presently it
ceased. After an hour or two it began
again. At the beginning of these period
lcal spurts the water is very cold, but
1t gets warmer and warmer until toward
the close it has attained the boiling point.
Il smells like sulphur.
Huge stones were rolled to the entrance
of the pit aud pushed in, but nobody
heard them strike. An engineering ex-
pert, who Sss visited several extinct era
ters ana whose knowledge of geology is
not limited, says the character of the
rock aud everything about the place in
dlcates that the tunnel has encountered a
section of the crater of a long extinct
volcano. The point where the opening
was found is 1900 feet from the north
heading of the tunnel and 400 feet be
low the surfaca of the mountain.-Eirm

ARULING OF TUE SUPREME COURT
Decides That a Railroad Has No Authority "a
Prcscrlhe Rates aS a Common Nnrrier.

Decides That Railroad Has No Authority to
Prescribe Rates As a Common Carrier.
ST. PAUL, March .S.-The supreme
court has decided that the railroad com
mission of this sta,e has no authority To
prescribe the rate for transportation 10y
common carriers between two points in
this state over route extending across
uelghboring state. Such power Is vested
exclusively in congress. The case in
question Is, The State of Minnesota ex
rel. X, X. Commission vs.. Omaha road.
1t was a proceeding 10y mandamus to com
pei this company to comply with the or
der of the railroad commission, pre-
scribiDg rates for the trans portatiou of
freights over their line from Duluth to
Mankato. The question presented for
decision was as TO the jurisdiction of the
commission, the line as is we'll
known passing through Wisconsin
from Superior to Hudson. The court
rules that the order of the commission
is applicable only 10 that part of the line
within Minnesota. The inter state com
merce commission in last November
ruled upon the question of holding Il
commerce between points in the same
state, but which, in being carried ont,
passes persons through another state
in the Interstate commerce, and sub
jec5 to congressional regulation.

EXECUTIONS RY ELECIRIrITY.

It uhay be that execution by electricity
il less usrbarous than by the moose, but
there Is something about the discussion
of the former method which is now go
ing on. that makes its contemplation
horrible in the extreme. In New York
state the death sentence will be executed
in that Ssy in short time upon mum
ber of murderers, aud scientists are bust
ly employed IN perfeoting the apFlisn-
ces. -Four dogs, four calves and horse,
whose sole crime was that they were
weaker and less intelligent than their tor
mentors, we're sacrificed at Meulo Park
one dsy last week, to test the various de-
vices. The first victim WAS a great New
foundland dog which stood stu and com
plsoen'ly wagged his tail while a copper
plate wrapped IN wet cotton was bound
on top of his head aad copper wire
hind leg. Inc connection WAS made, and
and for ten seconds the animal remained
standing, stiff and dead. When the cir
cult was broken he fell limp to the door.
The remaining dogs, the calves and the
horse were slaughtered in the same man
uer, none of them utterinG cry OF pam.
A current of 500 volts WAS used to kill the
dogs, 500 for the calves aud 200 for the
horse. For man. for whose benefit all
these preparations are being u ade, cur
rent OF 1900 volts will be used. The Law
provides for the establishment of apps-
ratus for electrical executions in each OF
the three state prisons in New York. A
dynamo with special machinery to run i,
will be necessary in each case, and none
but skilled electricians, who must. OF
course, be well paid, can be trusted e
handle the machines. There are sbou-
eight executions year in the state and
the ex pense of the new arrangement viii
be considerable. The question of cost
however, is not to be weighed in tb,
scale against humanity.

them as the time of the marriage.
The professor, who resides in this

THE ALCHEMIST'S DREAM.
DR.. kruss, Munich Chemist Succeeds in De
comprising Cobalt and Nickel

DR.. krusS, a Munich Chemist, Succeeds in De-
composing Cobalt and Nickel.
A cablegran from Munich announces
that DIR. kruss, a chemist of that city, has
succeeded in oecom posing cobal6 and
n1okei, both of which have hitherto been
supposed to be eleme ntary substances.
Ii the facts are as alleged, the discov-
cry Is one of great interest and Impor-
tance to the scientific world. Professor
Charles f. Chandler, of the school of
mines, Columbia College, said last night:
Yes have seen the dispatch, and there
Is really nothing to say about it. | do
not celieve it, and yet i. it is true it will
only be demonstrating what every body
has believed to be true for years that all
of our supposed elementy are mere com
binations and alloys. Similar reports
have come to us before from long distant
places and have not been gubstantiated.
But in these days no man need say it is
not true. 1t is not much more than a
century since air was found to De com-
position, and recently we were informed
that there were spectroscopic reasons for
believing that hydrogen was com
bination of two elements called hellum
and croonium. No, there can be no
what the constituent elements of cobalt
and nickel are until the report of the
alleged decomposition is received"
A. r. Dedoux, an analytical chemist,
also said the discovery, if true, would
prove of vast interest and Importance to
the scientific world, and the details would
be waited with impatience by chemists
all over the United States / would be
accomplishing something that men have
been trying to do for years without an
indication of success. AS to the means
employed to produce the solution, he
thought 1t might be some new process,
the application of which to other ele-
ments would produce like results. If the
statement is true, tt ere would seem to be
the opening up of a new field that, scien-
titicaily, might prove of intense interest.
1t would, according to the New York
Times, bring step nearer to a demon
stratlon the dreams of the ancient nj
chemists, that the precious metals were
