Looms Being Worked by Electricity.

Looms Being Worked by Electricity.
An interesting trial has been made in
Germany with silk weavers' looms
worked by electricity. BY cable of
100 feet in length, a one horse power
electric shunt motor, with 100 volts and
four amperes, was put in motion, and
the transmission for the weavers' looms
was restricted by communication to
seventy two revolutions. Two weavers'
looms were put in motion, the result, az
stated, being that the working by cleo
tricity was more satisfactory than that
by means of caloric engines or gas
motors, and that the swinging masses,
otherwise necessary for the working on
q small scale, can be dispensed with.
The German papers think the results
named show that house industry could
easily be made to flourish by the trans
mission of electric power, and this all the
more as electricity can be transmitted
equally well under any temperature.
Further trials in this direction are being
made also with long running dynamo
machines, without the use of the COM
municator, for some looms even without
shafting, therefore, with direct impuL

After life's fitful fever jules Gros. iour-
nailst. composer of comic songs, and some
time president of the shadowy republic of
Guiana, in South America has died ut
Vanves. southeastern suburb of Paris.
Gros was an indefatigable globe trotter,
and In the course of his peregrinations had
taken notes, which, when published in
Paris, obtained for him due recognition
from the Geographical society. Some two
years ago another wandering friend of his
M. Guignes- asked him to become mon
arch of slice Of No Mans Land, on the
borders of French Guiana and Brazil,
Gros refused royal honors, but declared his
willingness to become president of the re-
public of Independent Guiana, as the small
territory was pompously called.
The young republic, therefore, was
started on paper, a cabinet was formed,
nj. Guignes being appointed prime minis
ter, and the Order Of the Star of Counani
was instituted. Meanwhile protests were
raised against the proceedings of the would
be founders of q new commonwealth by
the Brazilian and Dutch governments
Gros was ordered to give up his presidency
by the French minister for foreign affairs,
and to return home. He did so, and what
ever semblance of republic was left to the
natives of Independents Guiana, or Cou.
mani, was carried on by M Guignes, who
organized cabal against his old friend
and chief. Gros, however, did not give up
his dreams of ambition, and succeeded,
Ii is said, In obtaining the assistance OF
some English speculators, who offered to
reinstate him.

HANCOCK'S Big WOODS
Believed To Be Inhabited By Wild
Men.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 16.-A Findlay
special to the Republic says:
Extending through the townships of
Liberty, Blanchard and Pleasant in
this county is tract of land known
as 1.-THE big woods" which is almost
impenetrable, owing to the under-
brush, old logs and swales.
For years the impression has pre-
vailed that several wild men, were
living in there vast wildernesses of
tangled vines and low underground,
and at various times il has been re-
ported by hunters and farmers looking
for lost animals that these strange
denizens of the forest have been seen,
but no one has ever been able to get
near enough to talk to them. Those
who have caught sight of these alleged
wild men" say they are uneouth, with
long matted hair and boards, and
dressed in all manner of ragged cloth
ing.
Farmers living in the vicinity of
these woods frequently miss old
clothes aud cooking utensils, but moth
ing ofany great value. These losses
are sometimes charged to tramps,
though many believe these "wild
men" took them. Rude brush and
bark huts are occasionally found in
the depths of these wiIds, with indica-
tions that they have been used for a
great length of time. From the ad-
joining fields, considerable quantities
ofeorn aud potatoes are taken in the
summer and fall by the "wild men,"
and it is easy to understand how they
live during the pleasant months of the
year, but how they subsist in the
winter is question which has not yet
been solved. There is large cave in
the low hills,near Indian Green, where
they may go in the cold weather, and
a party will be made up in few weeks
to hunt themadown and ascertain if
possible, who They are, and why they
are leading this strange life.

A GIRL WITH A PISTOL,
TRAGEDY In THE SALVATION ARMY.
Capt. Hattie Smith Sh ot Down at
Omaha by Private Nettie
Bittler, Who Afterwards
Shoots Herself.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16.-The muster
of the northwestern division of the
Salvation Army at Omaha to meet La
Merechale Booth-Clbborn, of France,
has terminated in a tragedy, sad, sud-
den and inexplicable. While yet the
bell of the army,s headquarters in
Omaha tolled curfew like the requiem
| for dead Sunday, and the soldiers
were filing slowly out of the barracks,
the sound of pistol shot rang out
| above the notes of the bell, and with O
groan one of the army's captains fell
to the pavement, blood gushing from
her mouth and nostrils. Her body had
not yet lodged on the sidewalk when
the second report from the pistol was
heard, and a private reeled from the
ranks, and staggering blindly step or
two, fell dead in the gutter, her soul
wjnging away amid the cloud of
smoke from her own pistol.
1t was just after 6 O'Clock in the
evening, and the army's forces had
gathered at the barracks for the pur-
pose of making its usual parade prior
to services. The presence in Omaha
of the official head of the army In
France and America, La Merechale
Booth Clibborn, and her brother, Com
missioner Ballington Booth. had
drawn hither all the forces of this di-
vision, which includes Iowa, Mime
sofa, the Dakota and Nebraska. For
four DAYS the army has held daily and
nightly demonstrations, and the work
was seemingly meeting with great
success.
The real motive for the fearful
doubls crime is not so clear as 1t might
be, but the indications point to rath-
er queer combination of jealousy and
semi-religious frenzy. However OBJ
scure may be the motive that prompt-
ed the deed its results stand cut only

HOW THE SHOOTING OCCURRED,
The murderess came upon her victim
as she was standing on the sidewalk
.conversing with Capt. Wallace, from
Marshalltown. la. and without speak

of her dress and fired. Almost simul-
taneously with the crack of the pistol

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
Observed Among Civilized
Nations.

Christmas and New Years
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as a means of
measuring time; the one, the
birthday of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est and Joy attendant to, their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways ON the increase. In A
merica, where civilization has
reached it's acme, where all is
being got out of life that is
Sin it, these great days re-
ceive due respect in many diff
ferent ways, more marked In
cities than in a town like Ma
poleon. For instance, in Gin
cinnati last year the Clncinna-
ii PosT assisted by the good
citizens of the Queen City, as
sembled together fully 5000
fatherless and penniless waits

each carrying a substantial
present and a bag Of sweet
meats. "Christmas is a day."

"when both rich and poor

ing others happy And this
was their way in SO doing
Napoleon is not a metropo-
lis like Cincinnati; also our
s'penniless" and ''fatherless''
are few in numbers, yet there
are ways Of making each other
happy. With this end in view
Saur & Balsley are making
preparations to place it with
in the reach of all to manifest
token Of friendship by the pre-
sentation of esteem in a tan
gible form. The object of this

sumo much space and then do
the stock itself an injustice.

Senator Mand,rson thinks that one
of the means that should be employed
in tanning the savage bands of indians
which are making life n burden to
the people and the soldiers on the
frontier is to "take away their ponies
and supply oxen Instead" lie would
also take away their firearms. The
coniiscation of their arms would cvi.
dently be wise move, add, the
American Dairyman. The "noblc red
man" is altogether too careless in his
use of deadly weapons. While the
disarmament project commcnds itself
to everyone who desires to see Indian
outragcs suppressed, it is not SC easy
to understand what benefit is to result
from an exchange of horses for oxen.
These uucivilized sons Of the forest
know no more about using CXcn for
agricultural purposes than they do
about writing poetry in the Greek
language. Until they were taught to
use them oxen would be of no use to
the Indians, and ii is safe to assume
that the Indians would be
of no use to the oxen. But,
whatever may be the case with In
dians, there are n good many white
men who might protitably keep less
horses and more oxen. Thirty years
ago, in large portions of New Eng
land, q great many oxen were kept for
farm work. Gradually the oxen dis
appeared and horses were substituted
There were some advantages in the
change, but there were also serious
drawbacks. In some respects and for
somo purposes hol scs made better
team, but there are places in which
oxen are superior. There is a good
deal Of expense in the first cost of the
team and in the expense Of keeping.
We believe that the tide will turn and
that oxen for labor on small farms
will regain much of their lost popu-
larity. The man who raises nice steers
and trains them well will be very like
ly to find them as saleable as any aui-
mails ON his farm
