IN THE WEST.

FROM the laboratory OF the wizard oil
Menlo park there Is coming an inven-
ton which out Edisons Edison. 1t is
the marriage Of the monograph to the
camera--the union In one instrument of
sound and sight. With it the opera can
be carried into the parlor and the artists
cannot only be heard but also can be
seen. The new wonder will be called
the kinetograph, strange sounding
title to the ear to-day, but 1t is destined
perhaps soon to become as familiar as
the locomotive or telephone, both strange
words in their infancy. Mr.. Edison has
been at work on this newest conception
of his genius for three years.
Now he knows that its base prin-
ciple is right; all that remains to
be done is to perfect the details.
The invention is combination machine
In which the photograph and photo
graphic camera work together 1t will
produce not only sound. but also q
picture Of what passes before it. Not a
mere instantaneous impression of OBJ
jects, but continuous representation
of them for considerable space of time.
Mr.. Edison claims it will reproduce an
opera. The monograph will render the
music and the Photographic apparatus
will reproduce the performers so that
their presence on the stage will be de-
picted, every muscle of their faces will
be seen to work, their strides, move
ments, all will be true to nature.
PLENTY HORSES is again free man
from the charge of numbering Lieut..
Casey. The theory prevailed that Lieut..
Casey was killed by hostile while a
CT tn <nf
mony was all In and the arguments
made Judge Shiras produced sensation
by taking the case out of the hands of
the jury and deciding the defendant not
guilty of murder. The Judge said in
substance that the guilt or innocence of
the accused turned upon the question as
to whether or not state of actual war
existed at the time of Casey's death.
In the opinion of the court it
had been shown beyond doubt
that such state of war did exist.
The most important witness to prove
this theory was Frank d. Baldwin, a
member of General Miles staff. He de-
clared that Casey was a scout, whose
sole duty was to report the movements
of his enemy, and that when he proposed
to hold a council with Red Cloud and
ooACA NAAC4S AC CASCCutu HIS
The impression left by Baldwin's testi-
mony was that a fierce war of magnifi-
cent proportions ragged at Pine Ridge,
and had it not been for the military dis
play made by General Miles the trouble
would still be raging with all it's fierce
ness. The object to be gained was that
If war ragged and Casey was spy, then
Plenty Horses was justified in the kill
ing OF the lieutenant.
The secretary of the treasury has con-
Guided the consideration of the question
of the examination of the assay, at Ell
Paso, of ores containing lead which are
destined for other ports of entry or de-
livery at which are smelling works.
The collector is authorized to forward
such ores under warehouse and trans
portation bonds, examination, weighing
and assay to be waived at that port and
to be made at the port of destination.
In estimating the duties the entire i'm
portation will be regarded as lead ore.
A SERIES of interesting experiments
have been conducted in the University
Of Illinois, at Champaign, on the bacillus
OF the grip. It was found that by cult
walton in diluted beef tea the germ grew
and fourished, and in all particulars
corresponded with that taken from in
dividual cases in human beings. The
bacillus has been photographed and the
the university has several of these in
which uniformly appears the germs, like
little beads on fine strings.
THE situation as to the miners
strike In Washington has taken,
serious turn. At mass meeting
of the miners of Franklin it was
decided to organize several COM
panies and arm and protect their homes
at any cost. 1t was decided at that
meeting that the state had been ap-
pealed to for protection against armed
men in vain, and the sheriff had also ap-
piled to without result.
The United States grand jury of Ari-
iona has returned twenty-seven indict-
ments under the Edmunds polygamy
law. A number of Mormons are indicted
and the remainder are charged with
adultery. Ten of the indicted imme-
diately got married and were let off with
small fines.
THE governor of Michigan has vetoed
the Grand Army of the Republic bill,
which appropriated $40. 900 for the en-
tertainment of theGrand Army of the
Republic at Detroit next August. His
objections are based on policy and JUS
tice to taxpayers.
