A MILE A MINUTE.
Speed That May BE Made on a New
Tangled Bicycle.

Speed That May BE Made on New
Tangled Bicycle.
A Connecticut man now comes out
with new bicycle which he is con-
fdent will prove practical and great
success. In general appearance, says
the Philadelphia Press, the machine
is similar to those of the same class al
ready familiar in theory. The idea is
simplicity itself, being regular safety
machine, half inside big wheel. The
larger outer wheel is nine feet in diam
eter, and the inner circumference con-
nected by spokes together is eight
feet in diameter. The driving wheel is
three feet in diameter and rides the big
one little beyond the center or point
of contact with the earth, SO that it is
constantly climbing ON the big wheel.
The plan is that of a man walking inside
of big hoop, his weight, when thrown
forward, revolving the whole. This
friction revolves the big wheel at every
evolution of the small one, and gives
the increased speed and power.
One wheel surface is concave and the
other convex. with one surface of rub
Der. The operator rides saddle in
side the big wheel, over and somewhat
near the driving wheel. The great
speed can be easily figured. The big
wheel has twenty-seven feet circum-
ference, and the driving wheel nine
feet, so that by every turn of the small
front wheel the machine is propelled
twenty-seven feet. By applying the
gear action, as in the common safety,
the speed is greatly multiplied.
A mile could easily be made in two
minutes on a good road, and the speed
of mile a minute if the operator wished
to ride so fast

Dear In Death.

A wealthy Russian gentleman, living
in his own house on the banks of the
Seine, has for the past ten years kept
in box in a private room the en-
balmed body of his young wife. She
was murdered few days after mar
riage, and her Borrowing husband OBJ
tanned the czar's permission to take the
body away with him. The law of
France forbids absolutely the keeping
of dead body in any place but a ceme-
terry, but the Russian gentleman hopes
to obtain special permission from high
quarters to remain the custodian of his
beloved relic. If not he threatens to
leave the country rather than part with

SOUVENIR BELLS.
A New Fad Which May Prove Embarrass-
ing if Carried Too Far.

A New Fad Which May Prove Embarrass-
ing if Carried Too Far.
The craze for collecting souvenir
spoons is being supplemented by a new
fad-the collecting of souvenir silver
bells. These bells, says the New York
News, are made for presentation to
friends who visit New York or other big
cities, and like the souvenir spoons have
fashioned ON their handles some design
or conceit suggestive of the city visited.
There is, for instance, the Rip Van
Wrinkle bell and the Peter Stuyvesant
bell.
The fad is not likely to become SO
popular as the souvenir spoons craze, as
every member of family cal use half
a dozen spoons coffee spoons, tea
;poons, table and sherbet spoons and
,poons for bon bons. Half a dozen
bells, however, for each member would
be an EN- barrassment of riches.
Many souvenir spoons in the principal
cities are manufactured to commemo-
rate historical places, but the manu-
facture of bells has not yet gone as far
as that, and they are made rather with
n view to presenting to a friend some
suggestive token of visit to city.
These little bells are used extensively
also as favors for guests at dinners
and teas somewhat after the fashion of
favors at German. They
have also been popular as gifts to
friends going to Europe for use during
the voyage and as remembrances of
folks at home. The bells, which arc
to be fashioned of solid sill
yer, retail for nine dollars and ten dol
lars apiece

Dwellings Of belgian workIngmen.

The results of the official inquiry into
the condition of the dwellings of the
working classes in Belgium have just
been published. According to the re-
turn there were in Brussels on Deem
Der 81, $780, 1868 families, of which
10, 2S4 were the families of workmen.
The number of houses in the city was
1884, inhabited by 1853, 1913 persons.
There are 1901 houses inhabited by the
working classes, 105 common lodging
houses, and S,436 places of business.
The rent of room for a workman
averages If. CSC. month. The average
daily wages of a workingnan is #. lac.
OF the 10, PSI working-class families in
Brussels 10, 1852 have occasional re-
course to public charity. Of working
class families 491 occupy an entire
house, 1871 occupy three rooms, S,05S
have but two rooms, and 6,97S have
to be content with only one; 2, 1S6 fami-
lies lodge in garrets, 1000 in cellars. In
1,511 cases a family of five persons live
in a single room. In 406 families the
boys aal girls sleep in the same bed.

AGED INDIAN CHIEFS.
Notable Figures Among the Tribes of
Oregon.

notable Figures Among the IrlDes OF
Oregon.
II is interesting to talk with civilized
IlCians and learn from thelL what they
ray know of the present an6 PAST con-
5itions of their race, says the Salem
Stat: man. Speaking Of the prevalence
of consumption among the Indians on
the klamath agency calls to mind that a
few more years will find those Indians
nearly all in their graves. Henry Jack
son, of Klamath, assigned very plaus-
IDLE reason for their decline. He says
their food now is different from that of
the wild Indian and their habits of life
are very changed. Formerly they
roamed at will, clad scantily with rough
skins or naked, just as they suited them.
Now they are clothed and housed and
often removed to different chimes, and
the changes of temperature at once make
themselves felt and attack the lungs.
Mr.. jackson talked freely of the old In
dian chiefs.
''Sconchin,' the last chief of the Mo-
docs, and one of the leaders in the Mo
doc war, is still living. He is weak and
stone blind and must be considerably
over hundred years of age. 'Choc-
taw," the last commander of the
Snakes, surrendered his life and passed
on to the happy hunting ground only
three weeks ago. He was also blind
and was hundred or more years of
age. "Allen David" who used to be
great chief among the Klamaths, is
still living, although at an advanced
age. The light has also gone out of his
eyes and he has to depend on his people
for food and care. The tribe relations
are all broken up, and from Mr.. jack
sons words it is seen that very soon the
last of the original chiefs will have
passed to that bourne whence no trav-
eler returns. Although not disappear
ing with the buffalo, as it was years
ago said they would do, the American
Indian will not be far behind the beast
of the prairie in passing from view.

Africans Who Want to Read.

When we remember that only ten
years ago the people of Uganda and
Victoria Nyanza were almost unknown
to the world, it is surprising to read
that the missionaries there recently
sold in a few weeks four thouSag.s
reading sheets printed in the native
language. They send word that they
could sell ten thousand copies at once
if they had them. They say the people
arc most anxious to acquire the art Of
reading, and that their eagerness for
books is astonishing. "As long as we
had reading sheet or a book left"
says one, "a crowd swarmed around
us day and night, and hundreds were

Uneatable Itself, 1t Poisons All the Fish

The anglers and lovers of fish about
Park Rapids, Mimi, are much disguised
and seriously alarmed over the appear
ance of numbers of a peculiar fish in
the lakes and 3onds of that vicinity,
and which fish is said to be highly
poisonous The best naturalists, says
the New York Journal, as well as the
Oldest and most experienced fishermen
of the neighborhood, have declared that
they are at loss to name the strange

DISCRIMINATING the other varieties, as
immense quantities of the latter are
found dead every day along the shores
of the lakes and ponds.
The unknown member of the fnny
tribe is not unlike small trout, very
plump and very tender, with few bones
and those large. 1t is, however, nearly
black in color except the under parts,

lights to linger, making it very easy
game. Eaten it has a pleasant flavor,
but will produce violent pains in the
stomach, which, if not allayed, precede
death only few hours. How these
fish came into the lakes no one knows,
but they first appeared few weeks
ago after a heavy rain, when many
firmly believe they accompanied it.

On a Pacific Island.

A sealing schooner that stopped at
one of the villages of Attu island, the
most westerly of the Aleutian group in
the north Pacific ocean, was able re-
Gently to give little relief to the suf-
faring natives, numbering about one
hundred and fifty. Several years ago
it was great place for sea offers, and
when a fur company established a trad
ing post there many Aleuts were attract
ed to the island, but when the company
moved its store the natives were left
there. The island is barren and the ma
tives must live on fish and sea lions.

Indians in Washington Capture Six Mon
sters In the Easiest Fashion.
AS the schooner Robert Levers, from
Honolulu, was entering Fuca strait
recently, says the San Francisco Exam
liner, she passed five canoes filed with
Indians, who were attacking a whale
in their primitive style. The harpoons
are fitted with socket, into which the
harpoon staff of solid yew is inserted.
A lanyard about five fathoms long has
one end fastened to the harpoon head
and the other end secured to buoy
made of hair sealskin taken off
whole, with the hair side in.
The holes made by the fippers and
neck are closed up air-tight, except that
the neck has hollow wooden plug,
through which the Indian blows up the
skin while fresh and soft till it is full
of air, and when dried it is as tight as
n drum and as buoyant as bladder.
In attacking whale the harpoon is
driven into the blubber with great force.
and the staff of the harpoon comes out
of the socket, leaving the barbed head
firmly fixed in the whales carcass, with
Lne skill DuOy hOduiHS Oh ollO OehOA Siiei
of the lanyard. The Indians get as
many harpoons into the whale as they
can and the buoys prevent his sinking.
The Indians then kill the whale with
their long lances, and when dead he is
towed ashore and the blubber and meat
taken off and divided. The Indians
were whooping and yelling, and finally
the whale headed for the schooner and
passed directly under her bottom, buoys
and all, giving those on board fine
chance to see the circus. When the
whale again came up the Indians were
ready with their lances, and soon the
water was dyed with it's blood, and be-
fore the Levers had got out of sight
they had killed their huge game, and all
the canoes were fast to it, towing 1T
ashore, with songs and shouts of vic
tory. The Indian whaling business at
Cape Flattery is one of the fishing in
dustries at Washington.

HARVESTING BY ELECTRICITY.
Farmers Can Now Continue Thrashing
Night and Day.

Farmers Can Now Continue Thrashing
Night and Day.
Electricity has vocations in the green
fields and on the hillside as well as in
towns and cities. In many parts of the
country the electric light is most effec-
lively employed to tighten the labors of
the farmer and lengthen the time at his
disposal during the busy period of the
year, when the harvest has to be got in
shape for the market in the shortest
time possible. With the electric light
at command the days are twenty-four
hours long instead of fourteen, says
Electricity. The energetic farmer who
keeps abreast of the times is not con-
tent merely to carry on his thrashing
operations by day; he also works
through the night with the aid of the
vivid rays of the arc lamp. How much
this means to farmer only farmer
can appreciate. Delays which would
be caused by wet weather are avoided
by taking advantage of dry spells and
clearing off the work in double quick
time. The proprietor of agricultural
machinery for hire is also gamer by
this arrangement, as the earnings of
his plant for single season are great
ly increased.

They drink the oil from the sea hons,
but as they have neither boats nor

They make clothing from anything

bags that may be left by vessels that

three years on account OF broken leg,
the bone not having been set. The In

Evervbodv Snowbound.

0At Junction City the snow is five inches
deep, at Hays City twelve inches and in Col
orado there is a foot and a half of it. A bit
ing wIndstorm is whirling the snow in great
drifts and railroad tracks everywhere have
disappeared from sight.
l. The Central Branch division of the Mis-
souri, Pacific is not moving a wheel on ac-
count of the snow blockade. The snow is
particularly bad IN the west, where the cOun-
try is covered to the depth of ten inches on n
level. Several trains have been caught be-
tween stations, among them the pay train
and passenger train. The company man
ages to provide crews and passengers with
food, but with difficulty. A snow plOW was
started out but as fast as it cleared path
way the snow drifted IN behind it and the
attempt was abandoned, leaving the snow
engine to die in the drift.
Superintendent Rathburn says it is the
greatest snowstorm the road has experienced
in ten years.
dispatch from Wichita says that Frisco
passenger train is stuck in a drift near Bent
ley. and near EllswOrtha Union Pacific train
Is fast.
There is bound be to considerable loss of
stock unless the snow disappears rapidly.
At Norton the snow interfered with the
M. Z. conference, the bishop and half the
conference being delayed.
AT Garden City the ground is covered to
the depth OF two feet, and it is a reminder of
the blizzard of January, 1886, the only diff
ference being that the weather is several de-
grees warmer. Cattlemen are short on feed,
and stock Is IN bad condition, but the loss
will be light. The Saata Fe track is block
AIDED and several trains are snowbound be-
tween this point and Dodge City east and
between here and Syracuse west. Garden
City has had no mail for two DAYS and no
trains either from the east or west will arrive
until tomorrow and probably not till Sat
urday.
Reports from all sections of Nebraska
show that the storm was very severe. In the
southern part of the state the snow is re-
ported to be from eighteen to twenty inches
deep on a level and drifting badly. The
storm was almost a blizzard in the north
western part of the state. Colonel Guy V.
Henry and four troops of the Ninth cavalry
reached Fort Robinson this afternoon from
Pine Ridge. Many troopers were snow bound

The peaceful and presumably indie
pendent occupation of farming is rep
resented In the insane asylum of Ore
gon by over two hundred men and
women whose reason has fed. This
occupation, indeed, leads all others in
the annals of the insane, in this State
at least-a fact that does not agree with
the generally accepted idea that the
increase of insanity is due to the in
creasing spirit of speculation, the fever
ish haste to be rich, and the increase
IN the use OF stimulants. On the other
hand, it indicates that monotony, iso-
lation, and the small cares are as great
and destructive enemies to human rea-
son as are the more violent foes that
acsRh and bear it down. They first
undermine and sap it by slow degrees,
and this is more especially true in the
case where woman are the victims; the
last take it by storm. Portland Ore.

Efforts for Their Relief and Dis
charge.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March Ex-senator
Plumb and State Senator Kelly, of McPher
son, visited the department of justice and
called upon Attorney General Miller. They
presented the petition of the state officials
and the Kansas state senate asking that those
now charged with the murder of Sheriff
Cross, of Stevens county, be set free and the
indictments dismissed. They spent some
time with the attorney general explaining
the situation relating to the case. Il was re-
piled that Judge Horton, of Massachusetts,
who for some time has been investigating
the case, having been sent out as special
agent from the department of justice, would
very soon send in his final report. 1t Is
thought likely that the attorney general will
be able to reach a decision within ten days.
The documents received from Judge Hor-
ton SO far in the matter, clearly indicate that
he will recommend that the prosecution be
discontinued and the cases dismissed. 1t is
said his recommendation in the matter, based
upon an investigation, will have great weight
with the attorney general, and is considered
by no means a prophesy to say that the at
torney general will recommend the district
court to dismiss the cases, and that he will
comply with the recommendation there is
no doubt.
