A Denial from Secretary Rusk.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The atten.
ton OF Secretary Rusk was called this
evening to n dispatch from Chicago in
which it was asserted that he had been
interviewed and had expressed himself
in very vigorous terms against the So
called reaper trust and had said that
he knew that such trust existed. be-
cause he had been offered stock in the
concern. Mr.. Rusk says the whole
story, so far as it connects his name
with it, is untrue. and what would be
called "a fake" in newspaper Office.
Il have been interviewed on no subject
relating TO politics either in near or
remote way since the election said
the secretary, land have persistently
refused to express any opinions on any
political subject As to the merits Of
the question, / do not believe that
American agricultural implement man.
ulacturers are unable to dispose OF
their products abroad at lower prices
than they receive at home. The story
that | have been offered stock in the
concern is equally false with the others. "

MORE children and young people
break down in school life from want Of
physical supervision than from any
other cause, and this is more true of
girls than of boys. 1t is more true
to-day than ever before, though phys
ical vigor is more needed for u sue
cessful life now than ever before, be-
cause the pace of life is more rapid in
every respect, and the struggle for ex.
istence is keener.

THE opinion grows among railroad
men that before the end OF the century
many trains will have II regular sched-
ule rate speed of 100 miles an hour.
They may, il the public signify will
ingness to pay for the material in
crease in rates OF fare which such an
increase in speed would make neces-
sary. To run trains 100 hundred miles
an hour would require an entire recon-
struction of rolling stock, and road
beds as thoroughly adjusted rs spirit
level. This would entail an expense
for which the railroads would expect
quick return. The fact that the pub
lie now find the longest way around
the cheapest way home. and so in the
majority OF cases take the longest
route, does not lend much support to
the railroad mems opinions.

IT is said, and with truth, that the
death rate of to-day is far lower than
was that of the time OF our fathers,

more truth that the lowering OF the
death rate since the times OF chivalry
has been still more noticeable. Our
respected ten-times removed ancestors
used TO take off their armor or their
hunting dress; eat the most indigesti-

The registry law in New York
state provides for taking the ages
of all who apply for registry. The
answer to the question how old the
voter is cannot be made compulsory.
II the voter is twenty-one or upwards
he is qualified, and an answer above
twenty-one obliges the inspector to
place the voters name on the list 1t
is. however. very questionable wheth-
err this law is wise one. Many peo-
pie otherwise sensible are very sensi-
tive about their age. II this question
is asked it will diminish registration
and suffrage. This is not good thing
for the country. The corrupt classes
always vote, and us few distractions
as possible should be placed in the
way of those whose intelligent ballots
would Offset those of the ignorant and

TIE greater ease of working level
land, and the less liability to break
ages of wagons, harness and imple-
ments, are wy important advantages
of level farms over those that are
rough and billy. Since so much OF
farm work is now done by horses and
machinery, this becomes an impor-
tant consideration. Farming is done
on worry narrow margin OF late years,
and slight increase in cost OF Guilt
waiting hilly land makes it impos-
sible. This after all may be one
reason why so many hillside farms in
New England have been abandoned.

Koch,s Lymph at the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--Dr. Koch's
lymph cure is now being tried on five
patients in various stages Of pulmonary
tuberculosis at the Garfield hospital in
this city The first incubation was
made several days ago and the results
are watched with great interest by the
hospital physicians and the doctors of
the city. SO far, in none OF the cases,
has the patient grown worse under the
treatment. In one OF the earliest cases
the rise in temperature and other
symptoms observed by DR.. Koch in
his experiments have been noted, but
in another case the expected reaction
has not occurred. The doctors. how
ever, are far from being discouraged,
and the incubation will be continued.
1t may be month yet, they say, be-
fore they will be ready TO announce
their conclusions, as they intend to
give the lymph II most thorough trial.

When it was noised abroad that there
was suffering in the western part OF
the state on account OF crop failure.
and that unless relief was prompt and
substantial, many of the western set
tiers would be obliged to abandon their
homes during the winter, and when
the question OF relief was discussed,
everyone naturally turned to the rail-
roads, expecting from them the
largest contribution-not in money
but in the free transportation
of supplies. 1t was ascertained
by those who computed the
amount OF coal required to keep these
families through the winter, that the
freight bill would be the largest pro-
portion OF the cost owing to the fact
that all coal used in this state is brought
hundreds of miles before it reaches the
consumer 1t is computed that the
Burlington & Missouri River railroad
alone will donate $40 600 to $4,000
in freights on the one item OF fuel. pro-
vided the road continues free rates all
winter. Up to the present time, nearly
five hundred tons OF coal have been
transported free by the b. Il NJ. to
these sufferers, besides many car loads
OF corn and other supplies.
Whatever is said against railroads
in general, it must be admitted that
the b. Il Nj. has always been prompt
to answer every call for help from
those OF our settlers who have suffered
from drouth, grasshoppers and other
natural causes. 1t is NOT known how
long this free transportation will con-
tinue, but it should continue all win
ter and if it does the people OF the
state ought to appreciate it.-Lincoln

when safety Gates Failed.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 16.-A
special from Bristol Pa, says terri
BILE accident occurred at the Mill street
crossing by which four persons were
killed and one seriously hurt. The ac-
cident was caused by the safety gates
at the crossing being raised just before
the New York west bound express was
due. A number of persons were wait
ing for freight train TO pass and as
soon as the gates were raised started
to cross. A wagon in which there
were five persons also attempted to
cross. The express train. which was
running ut full speed, struck the wag-
on, instantly killing Neal McElvane,
Joseph Hussey and Hugh Dever, and
John McElvane received such severe
injuries that he will die. Joseph John
son. who was crossing the track on
foot was also struck and instantly
killed. John McGee, who was in the
wagon, was seriously though not ia
tally injured. The gate keeper says
he did not hear the bell on the ex-
press. He will probably be arrested.

National Bank Circulati on.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Chairman
Dorsey OF the committee on banking
and currency is confident that the bill
to encourage national bank circulation
by giving par value to bonds deposited
and reducing the amount OF circula
ton required for each bank to $40 900
ton has been heretofore raised to this
bill on the ground that it would in
crease the value OF bonds. The pro-
posed reduction OF the required circu-
lation of banks makes impossible any
tendency which the measure might
naturally have 10 increase the value of
bonds, for it is acknowledged on every
hand that under the operation of the
bill banks would decrease their circu-
lation and sell their bonds, which ac-
ton Mould tend to bear the bond mar
ket. The bill giving states authority
to tax national bank notes is to be Of
fered in connection with the one men,
toned, and this will also palliate the
granger prejudice against national
banks.

1t was q scene of uninaginabie solem-
nltY. 4 comrade in our Holy Land jour-
ney rode up by my side that day and told
me that young man, who 10 now study
ing for the gospel ministry, would like to
be baptized by me in the river Jordan. 1
got all the facts I could concerning his
eernes:ness and faith, and through per-
sonal examination made myself confident
HE WAS WORTHY CANDIDATE.
There were among our Arab attend
ants two robes not unlike those used for
American TAPESTRIES. and these We OBJ
tanned. AS We were 10 have a large
group of different nationalitieS present, l
dictated to my daughter few verses,
and had copies enough made to allow all
TO sing. Our dragoman had man ia
miliar with the river wade through and
across, to show the depth and the swift
ness of the stream aud the most appro-
pirate place for the ceremony. Then I
read from the Bible the accounts of
baptism In that sacred stream, and i'm
plored the presence of the Christ on wi hose
head the dove descended at the Jordon.
Then, as the candidate and myself
stepped into the waters, the people on
the banks sang in full and resoundlng
voice:
On Jordan's stormy banks stand,
And cast O wishiul eye
To Can.an's flir and happy land
Where my possessions lie.
Oh. the Transporting. rapt urous scene
What rises to my sight:
Sweet fields arrayed in living green
And rivers of delight.
By this time we had reached the mid
die OF the river. As the candidate sank
under the floods and rose again under a
baptism in the name OF the Father and
the Son and the holy Ghost, there
rushed through our souls tide of holy
emotion such as we shall not probably
feel again until we step into the Jordan
that divides earth from heaven. Will
those waters be deep? Will those tides
be strong? No matter, If Jesus steps in

bank to bank we hail them with tears |
and they hail us with palm branches. |
They say to US, "ls that you, father!'
Is that you, mother?' and we answer |
by asking, "Is that you my darling!'

OF The GAZETTE the official count of

the increase of population in each county,

sented WILL be contained in the census Of
flee report of the population of the
country when completed. In sending by
wire the report of districts, as announced
by the census office in q fragmentary
sort of way it is more than probable that
mistakes have occurred, as in the figures
presented in the case of Tom Green
county, where the telegraph made a de-
crease instead of an increase in the pop
ulation. The following list has been
carefully revised by the census officials
and is therefore free from errors:
