The Wards Ferry Crime.

SONORA, Feb. 3. = Nothing new has
yet developed to throw any light upon
the horrible Wards Ferry crime. The
Coroner's Jury to-day held another in
vestigation on the remains of the muir
dered men, resulting with the same YER
dict as before. The brain of Lowe, al
though burned almost to crisp, showed
plainly the course of the bullet, and that
he was shot from behind, is also evident.
The remains of the unfortunate men were
buried to-day.

They Take Steps to Reopen III Question In
Iowa.
DIES Mo1NEs, March %. --President Har-
vey, Of the State Temperance alliance, took
steps to-day to reopsn the question of
prohibitory constitutional amendment.
This amendment was passed by the legisla-
ture and voted on BY the people in 1882, and
carried by 10000 majority. Owing to cler-
ical errors the same was annulled by the
supreme court and the present prohib-
tory law then passed by the
general assembly. The temper
ance alliance, through it's presi-
ident still insists that the amendment is a
part Of the constitution of the state, not
withstanding the supreme court, the people
having passed upon the same in their SOW
ereign capacity and removed it from the
Jurisdictions of the courts. President Har-
yey to-day. demanded of Secretary of State
Mcfarland a certified copy of the constitu-
ton Of the state, including this amend
ment. Mcfarland refused and said the
the constitution and therefore not
a matter to be certified from his
office. Harvey then had served on Secre-
tary mcfarland an original notice setting
out That q petition would be on file imme-
'diately in the district court asking a writ
OF mandamus against the secretary, COM
polling him to certify as demanded. SEQ.
rotary Mcfarland will take steps to make a
defense in the case. The steps taken by
the alliance caused much surprise and is
the general topic of comment. 1t means
the opening up before the supreme court of
the whole constitutional prohibitory ques-
ton and interesting developments are an
ticipated.

Tho pvoverb, "Yield an inch and lose an

pernatural business. Once admit the pos
sibility of seeing anything outside OF the
physical plane. and there is no logical halt

physical senses are all one; they are modiH-
cations or refinements OF the sense Of touch.

Many have seen, more have heard OF this

all the audiences see it. The then American
artists went a step further. Two of them
made rapid sketches of the performance, at
successive stages; the other kept his Kodak

be, everybody was hypnotized. But is that
explanation final and satisfactory?

CAUGHT A MICRoBE.

DR.. Gentry, of Chicago, Discovers the
Source of La Grippe.
CHICAGO, March 28.-Dr. w. G. Gentry,
OF this city, has secured in a novel way
what he thinks undoubtedly a microhe OF
la grippe. The doctor has been studying
the peculiar influenza since it's appearance.
over a year ago He found that thirty-four
years ago, la grippe was epidemic among
human beings and that seventeen years age
1T attacked horses, causing the we'll remem-
bered epizootic epidemic. ,Lr. Gentry was
inclined to believe that the Garth at inter
walls passed through a stretch of space i'm
pre9nated with what astronomers call
''star dust" Several days ago it &C.
Cured to him that he might trap
some of the dust of microbes. Carefully
polishing a blank microscope slide he took
it out doors and passed it through the air.
Placing the slide under his miscroscope he
counted seven heretofore unidentified mi
crobes in the field of the instrument. He
had the slide mounted and then obtaining
some mucous from a patient afflicted with
la grippe found in it microbes identical in
every respect with those caught in the air.
The microbes as described by DR.. Gentry
are generally of round form, varying occa-
sionally in outline but always distinctly
marked b. a series of lines surrounding
them. Radiating from these liues are
others which resemble fine irregular hairs.

Gov. Colcord called VIM. Zern Ian

this matter the Governor said to
a reporter yesterday:
Il did not, at any time refer to

stated. I consider the miners of
Nevada a class Of men with a very
complete practical education which
has been acquired in facing the
hardships of a new country. To
their efforts L attribute many OF
the successes Of the West. No
man in Nevada is more IN sym
pathy with the miners OF this State
than myself. 1 have spent most
of my life among them and
assure you they are not ignorant, -
