a CURIOUS INCIDENT.

The current scientific discussion on the
subject of traumatic and cellular death
has recalled an incident which occurred
at Westminster, Nd, in 1879, the par
ticulars of which are related in Balti-
more Americans:
A young man, a native of Chill, South
America, who had been for some time
resident of Westminster, became adj
dlcted to the excessive use of intoXicantS
and on one occasion, having been drink
ing heavily for a number of days, took
an overdose of morphia. A servant of
G.. w. Crapster, at whose house the
young man boarded, discovered him
lying on his bed in an unconscious con-
dition, and Dr. W. k. Fringer was sum-
moned. To all appearances the uan
was dead, but DR.. Fringer said: He
seems to be dead and practically is dead,
the circulation has ceased, and there is
no sign of respiration. l have never
believed that death takes place
when the heart stops beat
ing, and the respiratory organs
cease to act. l would like to put my
theory to test; will you help meE With
the assistance of the gentleman to whom
this was said, and who is the Americans
informant, the seemingly lifeless body
was taken from the bed, stripped to the
waist and seated on chair. The doctor
seized one arm and this gentleman the
other, and with their knees pressing the
arms of the young man with as much
force as possible against his ribs. and al
ternately raising them high above his
head. thus brought about artificial respi-
ration. In the meantime others had been
summoned TO assist in the work, and as
soon as the doctor became wearied other
willing hands continued the effort at re-
suscitation. The experiment. which was
commenced about 7:30 in the morning
was kept up without intermission until 3
o'clock in the afternoon and during all
this time there was no sign of natural
respiration, or the faintest pulsation, if
the pumping process were discontinued
for an instant At noon a number Of
spectators were present. and many ex-
pressed their horror at what they called
the ''sacrilege' Of thus manipulating q
dead body. At 2 o'clock DR.. William f.
Rippard injected ammonia into his viens,
and ar 3 o'ciock the truth of Dr. Fringer's
theory was demonstrated, faint fiut-
tering Of the pulse was felt, the young
man breathed, and in Q few moments
opened his eyes. He recovered. returned
to his home in Chill. and was living at
last accounts. The facts are beyond
dispute. and doctors and scientists may
well study them in connection with the
present wide consideration OF such cases.

Guthrie Herald: Is it true that W. W.
Angel, ex-policeman, moved away with
s., 200 Of the money he was authorized by
the city to collect from the gamblers? He
has left Guthrie, and the money Is said to
nave gone away with him.
Capital: The unloading and moving of
the electric light company's engine at
tracted nearly as much OF a crowd as
first class ejectment case would. The en-
CINE is 100-horse power, and it took six
mules to move it after it was on wheels.
This looks like business. but it would have
paid the city to have left the machinery
standing near the track as an advertise
ment to the people passing through.
Guthrie Capital: The citizens have
voted for bonds and already the business
men are discussing the best method of
getting them upon. the market; but the
citizens should see that they are judlcious-
ly expended and not let them be sold for
mere speculative purposes. The first Sc
ries of five thousand dollars should be
used in paying of the present Indebtedness
of the city. This will place the city script
at par and give Guthrie good showing
financially. The second series of the same
amount should be used in building bridges
and improving the streets. This will en- =
nance the value of real estate and induce
capitalists to invest here, for nothing
could more improve the appearance OF our
city than to have nicely paved streets and
substantially built sidewalks.
The third series of 700 should be ex-
pended in building school houses; for no
provision has been made for the education
of the hundreds of children brought into
Guthrie by its settlers. Should these
bonds be judiciously invested they will
prove a great benefit to Guthrie, but
should few mercenary men be allowed TO
dispose of them they will prove the great
est curse of the city.

More Rebels to the Fore.

Wellington Press
There is no doubt pretty good chance
now to make great deal OF trouble for
the Republicans i'll the next campaign
over the work of the last legislature, and
good licking would do the party good.
If some shrewd, clean, fresh man could
go through the record and extract the
real points for campaign and put them
before the people properly, no could
make trouble for the Republicans. The
air about Topeka is either laden with
falsehood or else there has been much
bad work about the capitol in the past
few years by so-ealled Republican lead
ers of the legislature who worked for
individuals rather than for the good Of
the state.
Lawrence Journal.
The above stalwart talk is not from a
Democrat or a Mugwump, but from an
original ana unyaTylng Republican.
Jacob Stotler, of the Wellington Press.
1t is an opinion too, from one whose Of
fetal duties bring him in close and con-
tsaut connectIen with the leading men OF
the party. THIS IS not surface Indlca-
tioa of a triiling disturbance, but the
honest warning cry of one OF the oldest
and best members OF the Republican
party IN Kansas.

The hanging of Bulow at Little Falls
Mimi, on Friday last, under the new
law of that state, which limits the NUM-
Der of persons who may be present at the
execution, prescribes that executions
shall take place between the hours OF /

publish only the bare announcement of
the execution, may lead 10 some in

lucky number for the law, il seems-for

MORE ABOUT DEEP WATER HAIR
BORIS

Recently the Topeka Capital has been
advocating the holding of a convention
at that place in the interest of deep
water harbor or harbors on the Texas
gulf coast, and the Kansas City Times
now dips in and demands the holding of
the convention in that city. There is
nothing surprising in this, however.
The chief inspiration of the Times is to
dominate everything pertaining to Kan
sas' interests and welfare. As for the
furtherance of the object in question it
does not seem TO be necessary that con-
vention should be held at either place,
Judging from the progress making at Sa-
Dine Pass and the Brazos outlet. Never
theless the EAGLE is for the Topeka
meeting if one is held, as against an out
side point. In this connection and bear
ing directly on the points above cited the
following from the Beaumont, Tex, En-
terprise will be of interest.
The resolutions passed at the Sabine
Pass Deep Water convention on
Wednesday, and the committees ap-
pointed in the different districts, COM
posed of gentlemen possessing all the
necessary requirements, make the stamp
that Sabine Pass Will be a deep water
port at an early date. The convention
did all that it was called for, and now
that it is adjourned the committees will
perfect the work entrusted to them.
There will be no backward step or halt
in the movement, no tagging in the bust
ness, and the railroads that want to
strike Sabine Pass when vessels of large
tonnage Will ride into the barbor will re-
quire to be there in shorter time than
has or may be imagined. With the Jet
ties still progressing, the water contin-
ually deepening, augmented by the new
machinery to deepen the bar, which we
feel satisfied will be in operation in less
than three months, we will float the
large ships into the harbor ere New
Years day of 1890 dawnS
