RAILROADS POINTING-NORT
started to write of deep water and its
advantages to Kansas and have drifted off
on other subjects; but it is well to know
that when train loads after train loads of
grain and other Kansas productions are
shipped to the gulf there is something to
load back with. The fact that two roads
are now projected Kansasward is evidence
that railroad men-the far-seeing men of
the world-are ready to avail themselves Of
the fortunes which are to be made in this
direction is a point Of great significance.
The Watkins road is already completely
graded for about forty miles. This road is
supposed to be aimed in the direction of
Kansas City, but another road is in con-
temptation direct to Wichita.

Ex-STATETREASURERS SUED.

DENVER, Col, Jan. 7.-The attorney gen.
eral yesterday afternoon on behalf of the
state, began suit against ex-State Treas
urers Nathan S. Culver, William G. San
ders, Fred Walsen. George r. Swallow
and Peter W. Breen, together with their
bondsmen, for the purpose of recovering
money, which it is alleged these officials
received as interest on state funds loaned
to the different banks and for which they
failed to account to the state. The amount
sued for is not stated IN the complaint
but it is believed that the amount so re-
ceived by each treasurer during his two
years term reaches nearly 100000. The
suits are brought for an accounting and
bring up the question whether or not the
state has a right to demand the return of
the interest upon state funds held by them
during their incum bency in office.

She Cost Her WEIGHT in Gold.

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican lady
who recently died at American Flag, in the
Santa Catalina mountains, Arizona, was,
perhaps, the only woman in the world who
ever cost her husband her weight in gold In
the early gold digging days of California she
was resident Of Sonora, Mexico, in which
state she was born and grew to womanhood.
When about n years Of age paternal uncle
but few years her senior, returned gold
laden from the newly discovered mines and
soon fell desperately in love with his niece.
He sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, ON account
of the near relationship of the pair, tc
solen1nize the marriage. Persuasion being
in vain he tried the power of gold to win the
church his way, and succeeded only by pay
ment of her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed 1T pounds, and against her in the
scales the glfttering dust was shoveled. The
husband still had sufficient of this worlds
goods to provide good honest. Louis

He placed the cordwood stick against the

him to open the safe, and upon working
the combination he did SO easily. The
Kid was sent back to his cell in ths
pen with a $50 gold piece in his pocket.

With Head to the North.

The superstitious belief that human beings
should sleep with their heads toward the
north is now believed TO be based upon a
scientific principle. The French Academy of
Sciences has made experiments upon the
body of guillotined man, which go to prove
that each human body is in itself an electric
battery, one electrode being represented by
the head and the other by the fest. The body
of the subject upon which experiments were
made was taken Immediately after death,
and placed upon pivot free to move in any
direction. After some vacillation the head
portion turned towards the north, the pivot
board then remaining stationary. One Of the
professors turned it half way around, but it
soon regained position with the headpiece
to the north, and the same results were re-
peatedly obtained until organic movement
ceased.-St. Louis Republic.
