Epidemic Of Lynch Law.
From the Chicago Herald.

from the Chicago Herald.
All lovers of good government
must view with distress the epidem-
ic OF lynch law which has broke
out in this country Of late. En-
lightened Foreigners who read of
the numerous stern and primitive
scenes that have taken place in va
rious parts Of the land must regard
us much as we do the inhabitants
OF the ungoverned portions of the
Chinese empire. 1t is very refresh
ing, therefore, to see the Tartar
torch or the Iyncher's lantern.
Such hero was George Williams
the Forsyth, No, guard, who threat
ened to shoot the first man that ap-
preached his prisoner. Williams
was shot through the head and his
murder is !; more serious of1ense
against good goveroment than the
nnIaw.u killing of q dozen Grimm
ais would nave been His murder
ers should be hunted down and
punished if it takes the Whole pow
er of the government to accomplish
this end. In such quest there
should be no thought OF politics or
of section, and every good citizen
should join the hue and cry.

fBOLO ROBBERY.
Rev. r. a. Martin Robbed
of $l79 rs, Monday Night.

Dr. Sims robbed Of 5000 Same Night.
On last Monday evening after the
lights were blown out, two men en-
tered the house ri Rev Z. A. Mar
tin OF Dever, and demanded to
know where Mr. Martin was. He
told them he Was present and as
soon as he spoke they leveled their
guns on him and his wife telling
him it was his money they wanted
and not him, ana said they would
kill him at once if he did not give
it up. Mr.. Martin delivered to
them all the money he had which
amounted to Sl79.75. Beside this
they took his saddle bags which
contained several valuable papers.
The saddle bags were fonnd by Joe
Epley about 3 mile north from Mr..
Martins place the next day, and
about all the papers were lett IN
them.
This is one OF the boldcst robber-
les ever committed IN this country,
and the people are going TO make "a
strong effort to bring The guilty
parties to justice.
1t is, indeed, q sad misfortune
for Mr.. Martin, as he has had so
much sickness IN his family of late
years and being in very poor health
himself. 1t is exasperating to think
that his hard earned dollars are to
go in such a way.
DR.. J. L. Sims, of Shaver, Boone
county, is reported to have been
robbed OF $4,000 the same night
and the same thieves are supposed
to have perpetrated The work.

CHAPTERI II.
Comparison Of the wave and Corpuscs-
lar Theories.

lar Theories.
We viii call up tue assertions
made III the last chapter ;ls We
progress and will also give other
quotations whon needed for the
purpose OF explanation. After ex-
planning the corpuseular theory we
will make an application of it to a
fcw problems which have been
looked upon as conclusive proof of
the wave-theory supposition.
The founder of this theory knew
that before he could show the wave
theory to be false, he would be
compelled To institute II new point
from which to reason. Therefore,
reasoning from cause to effect, he
could see that there was great
mistake when it came to depending
upon air waves to transmit sound.
In view of this he reached the con-
clusion that sound must be an ennis
sion Of corpuscles, or every minute
particles of matter. Every time
sound is produced there is "a creation
of new corpuscles which radiate III
all directions from the sounding
body. inese corpusclos are capa
able of division and subdivision;
hence, the reason that sound can be
heard at all parts OF an increasing
circle around the body which pro-
dnces it.
One OF the most prominent illus
trations used in connection with the
phenomena OF SOUND is that OF SYM
pathetic vibration, or, otherwise
stated, Is: if two strings, or forks
be tuned to the same key, and one
of them is thrown in vibration, the
other Will also start into vibratorv
motion and sound aodibly withou
any connection with the first. ex
cept the Intervening air.
fne reason assigned for this, By
the wave theory, is, that the wave,
sent off by the txcite.i fork, striking
It's unison neIghb5r, start it grada-
ally into oscillation. very freely a.
first but each succeeding wavc
gives a new impetus, till tnis sym
pathetic motion is brought to it
maxim. We Will now give an ex
pianation by the corpuscuar theo-
ory. When one fork is set in mo
tiou the other vibrates, not because
it is struck by the air wave whlcl4
are sent OF from the first, but b
cause these new eorpusealar croa
tions have an affinity for any body
that is tuned to the same key.

CAREER OF COL. GRESHAM.
No Sooner Recovered from Severe Wounds
Than lie Returned to the Front

New ALBANY. July 8. The death of
Judge Gresham's brother. Col Benjamin Q.
A. Gresham, a gallant soldier of the Mex
lean and civil wars. Saturday morning. at
his home near Lanesville, Harrison county,
sixteen miles from New Albany, of dropsy,
was brought on by wounds received
during the war. while serving in the
Army of the Potomac. Colonel Gresham
was born in Harrison county, on the
farm on which he died, sixty-tive years
ago. When a very yOnng man he en-.
listed in one of the Indiana regiments
that made the campaign in Mexico nearly
fifty years ago, and was bIghly commended
for his gallantry and soldierly qualities
Upon his return from Mexico he engaged
in farming and led O quiet life until the
civil war broke out In 1861. The soldier
instinct was In him, and he enlisted on the
first call in the Third Indiana Cavalry and
went with his regiment to the Army of the
Potomac. At the battle of Chancellors-
Vile he was badly wounded In desperate
charge. and for months hOvered between
life and death, his rugged constitution
finally bringing him through.
He at once relOined his command and
although wounded several times. remained
In active service until the close of hostili-
ties. For meritoriOus conduct and gallantry
he was promoted until he was commits
stoned colonel of the Tenth Indiana Cav
airy. Of handsome features, blunt, rugged,
honest and dashing rider. he made an
ideal cavalryma and was frequently CON-
mended by his superiors for his skill and
bravery in leading his command.
Since the war Colonel Gresham had lived
quietly on his farm. beloved by his neigh
bors and respected and revered by every
one that knew him.

Jersey. was ou.spoken in opposition % TO
Kyle. and intimated that the South Da-
kota Senator would be received with luke
warmness by the trade and labor men gen.
orally in the convention and at the polls.
Despite the Kyle boom, however. the
Weaver followers keep mp q courageous
front. Mr.. Brown, one of the most promi-
nent of the Massachusetts delegates, IL
said TO be one of the managers OF the
Weaver forces The Weaver men say that
any reports of their chiefs withdrawal
are inspired by the enemy and entirely
without foundation. Caucuses of the vari-
Gus State delegations and individuals were
numerous tonight The most active WORK
was being done by the opponents of Gen.
Weaver who are energetically at work
trying to defeat him. The Kyle men
assert that Tennessee. Kentucky, Virginia,
Georgia Ohio, New York. Massachusetts,,
New Hampshire, Washington, Colorado
and half of Kansas will go solldly for their
man, and his nomination on the first ballot
is practically assured. Other reports. how
ever, have it that New York is divided.

and the geographical scope of these
new tickets Is as wide as the
American continent. These tickets.
in, 60,
make them strong, as 1t seems tonight
that Weaver will enter the convention
with the largest following. The main
spring of the objection TO Weaver is
some minor matters, and in New Eng
land and New York are located the
most active opponents of his selection.
Part OF the New Workers. with aid from
landslide in favor of a ticket with
Watson. of Georgia, for President and
Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon. for Vice
president. 1t was, however, weak in the
homes of its friends. as the Southern men
dc not want the first place on the ticket:
Some of the Southern delegates talked OF
Powderly, but the New Workers replied
that Powderly had positively declined.
The attitude of the silver men ELECTED
more interest than ever to-day. A number
of them talked the Gresham matter over,
but it was felt that declination Of
the nomination would leave the party
demoralized. The conclusion was reached
that Stewards name would not be pre-
sented. Senator Jones says: Stewart can
carry Nevada, but Huntington and his
railroads would fight him, and we can't
afford to run him and take any
risks on the Senate, where Stew
art is needed by the silver men,"
Tie conclusion was reached that the new
party must seek some prominet man in tho
Northwest who has heretofore been identi-
fed with the Republican party. Tonight
