PIerce's steam Will Burned.


+. l.. Percc's mill was burned to the
ground Wednesday morning about 3
o'clock. The machinery, which consisted
of several costly lathes and a number of
saws, is completely ruined. Nothing was
saved except few bundles of chair stock.
1t is hoped that the boiler may be saved as
il was set in brick and cemented.. Moth
ing certain is known as to the origin of the
fire, but it is supposed there must have
been some defect in the fire box. The en-
gineer attended to the fires and left every
thing all right at 9 p. NJ, and at 1890 a
party of sleigh riders passed the mill, with
no signs of fire to be seen. The fire pump
could not be used as they could not reach
il, the fire being so intense. The mill was
insured for $1,000 each in the sun and Lib
erty companies through Sherman ~ Jenne
of Brattleboro, but the loss much exceeds
this amount. Col. Sherman of the sun
met Mr.. Pierce Thursday in Brattleboro
and settled the insurance. Much sym
pathy is felt for Mr.. Pierce as this is the
third time he has suffered loss by fire. He
says he will rebuild at once.

The steam boilers in town were officially
inspected few days ago.
Philip, son of f. Barre, was run over by
a team Wednesday, cutting a hole in his
leg. A few days more of such accidents
will tend to discourage the habit of the
boys in this village of catching rides on
passing teams.

;. ID. Kelley, the tnsmith of this village,
was found dead in his bed at North Adj
ans, Mass, last Monday morning. He
was a man of disSipated habits and had
been indulging in prolonged debauch.
The North Adams Transcript, in its ac-
count of Kelley's death, says he came to
that place from Troy Saturday night, go
ing to the Mansion House. Landlord
Ryan knew him, as he had stopped at the
hotel before. Kelley was under the influ-
ence of liquor when he arrived and he was
very soon taken to his room. Sunday he
felt badly. Mr.. Ryan did what he could
for him. At night he gave him iced milk.
Kelley was suffering from the effects of a
spree, but there appeared nothing to indi-
cate that he was in dangerous condition.
Landlord Ryan visited his room at 1890
O'Clock and at that time he was sleeping
soundly. Mr.. Ryan went to the room
again at Il; 10 o'clock Monday morning and
was shocked to find Mr.. Kelley dead. Med
ical Examiner Brown was notified at once.
The condition in which the body was
found left no doubt as to the cause of
death, which was pronounced alcoholism.

Early Attention to the Teeth.

About the sixth year or soon after, four
permanent molar or double teeth make
their appearance, says writer who calls
the attention Of parents to the Importance
of early attention TO children's teeth. II
is generally supposed that these four teeth
belong TO the first set, and if they decay
and are removed they VIII come again.
This is mistaken idea. They are perma-
nent teeth, and if lost viii be lost forever
No teeth that come after the sixth year
are ever shed. At twelve years the second
set is usually complete, with the exception
Of the deas sapientia, or wisdom teeth,
which make their appearance from the
eighteenth TO the twentyfourth year.
During the eruption OF the second set, the
beauty and character of the child's coun-
tenance is completed, and everything de
ponds upon proper care and attention at
this time, TO see that the teeth come with
regularity, and without being crowded.
Another very important reason why the
teeth should early in life receive the ut
most care and professional attention, is
the effect they exert upon the articulation.
The loss of a single tooth affects the utter
ance and invariably produces a kissing or
hsping sound IN articulating certain words
containing the dental vowels, such as Z d,
s, q and j. All public speakers, especially
lawyers, clergymer and others, should, as
they value a correct enumeration and ar
ticulation, remember that the teeth were
placed by nature to form certain arch for
the express purpose of giving force and
purity of utterance. The MOBILIZATION Of
the voice also is, in great measure, de-
pendent on the shape of the mouth and
healthy condition of the teeth and their
contiguous paSts.

THE IRISH POLITICAL MOVEMENT,

From the Kansas Chief.
An elaborate account was sent out
from Chicago, a few days ago, detailing
a movement on foot among prominent
Irish citizens to organize an rish-Amer-
lean Harrison league, pledged to support
and vote for Harrison, without regard to
previous political utilization. The league
was to be organized in every city in the
United States, and Irishmen of the great
est prominence and influence were at the
head of it. The leading cause for start
ing the organization was said to be the
firm stand the president took in favor Of
Minister Egan, during the Chill trouble,
when an effort was made to crush him.
as the chief cause of the trouble. That
the president stood faithfully by Egan.
is matter of present-day history. Not
only were the authorities of Chill de-
manding Egan's removal, but the great
bulk of the Democratic party in the
United States, their sympathies with the
enemies of their country, were abusing
Egan, and Missouri Democratic mem
Der OF congress offered resolution de-
manding his recall. as the author of all
the trouble, But the president stood by
the minister, and Chill has apologized
for her abuse of him, and withdrawn the
demand for his recall The Democrats
have not yet apologized.
Aside from the Egan business, there
are good reasons why the Irish should
cut loose from the Democratic party.
Chief among them is the advocacy by
that party of the British policy of free
trade, that has ruined Ireland, and would
ruin America. England and the Demo
cratic party thought alike On the Chill
business, both hoping that 1t would re-
suit IN Republican defeat; and they
think alike or all questions. The Irish
are cuttin. loose from that party, more
and more every year. As they scatter
away from the large cities, with their
coTrupting influences, they drop of from
the Democratic party. Ia the cities, the
Democratic baliot-box suffers largely
make use Of the IRISH voters, and those
who are not voters. u carry osit their
election frauds, and make Use OF IIish
bosses TO engineer the work. The bosses
receive good pay and good offices, but

Elevator sickness.

Kindred to che familiar troubles of sea
sickness and carsickness is the sensation
caused by the sudden stoppage Of an ele
vator: in some very sensitive people it Is
quite an unpleasant matter. According TO
a contemporary, the sickness can be avoid
ed by observing simple physical laws. The
stOppage Of the elevator car brings a dizzi
ness TO the head aud sometimes a nausea
at the stomach. The internal organs seem
to want to rise into the throat. All this
comes from the fact that all parts OF the
body are nos stopped at the same mement
of tiIae. The feet being next to the car
floor stop with the car. while other por
tons of the body continue moving II the
body as a whole can be arrested at the
same time with the feet, there viii be no
sickness. This can be done by placing the
head and shoulders against the car frame.
Then there viii be no sickness

A NEW IDEA.

Kansas, Oh Kansas! child of the I'M
clouded sun; of perpetual spring and
Towering prairies. What dreams do
your sons not dream; what visionary
schemes do your progeny not conjure!
Buffalo Jones is breaking eight buffa-
Ices to pull a big gilded chariot, and will
exhibit the whole outfit at the worlds
fair.
What sight for the gods!
Mr. Jones of Kansas in a rolling,
tumbling chariot drawn, like Roman
senator, by eight pIunging, fractions,
shaggy buffaloes.
Dir. Jones, geeing and having his
steeds right and left, vending his way
through the packed crowds of the Col
u1nbian exhibition. Tarrying here and
there among the stately edifices of the
fair and gazing about him with beaming
eye of a victorious Caesar.
Now, tearing off again at terrific
gait, clearing away through the rabble
and throwing dust into the eyes of the
multitude.
And anon, quoting the foaming
bisons, and tightening up the tugs for
fresh squirt.
If there is something new under the
sun to be found, count on Kansan.

Their Destructive Action Upon the Skin

Their Destructive Action Upon the Skin
When Used n Long Time.
Popular Science News notes a warning
by a Frankenburger against the injury TO
the skin and even bone which may result
from the long continued application of
weak q. 81 and even 2per cent. learbolizei
applications. especially upon Peripheral
portions of the body, such as the fingers.
This effect is due in small measure 10 the
action Of carSolic acid upon the Vase motor
system. but II she main TO its destructive
effect upon the red and white blood corpus
cles. This induces, partly in a mechanical
and partly in a chemical way, stasis, first
IN the eapillaries and, if the action of the
drug be continued, then in the larger veins
and arteries, with the result that the nutri-
ton Of the part is interfered with and the
removal of harmful substances hindered.
The maceration of the epiderais caused by
the acid fayors evaporation, so that the
gangrene is a dry one, a mummification as
it were. The author believes that even
weak carbolic solutions as external appli-
cations are to be either completely discard
ed or TO be used only with the very strict
est precautions, and that the sale of car
bolic water by druggists should be wholly
stopped

MONEY NEED NOT BE SCARCE IN
KANSAS.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
When and where need money be
scarce? Certainly not when and where
things needful and useful abound in
quantity or variety, or when and where
factors and faces exist capable of pro-
ducing things needed and useful for
mans existence, comfort and happiness.
If things having any true value exist, or
can by combination and cooperation be
produced, surely a common unit of
value and Uniform medium of exchange
may be provided, SO relatively abundant
and readily obtainahle as to make posi-
BILE production and needed exchanges
of products, at all times certain and
freed from the depressions and mutations
of prices and unequitable incidents of
exchange which obtain under existing
methods. Certainly mans inventive
faculty is, here, equal to the occasion, to
provide a medium of exchange and rep
resentative of value adequate and COM
mensurate TO his requirements: eSpec-
tally as money Is an artificial thing. Gre
ated by man for his own convenience
his creature and servant: never, under
proper conditions, his ruler or master.
There is here no implied suggestion that
any one should be supplied with money
unless he has something of true value
wherewith to procure it. All who can
labor have a thing of real value.

cal existence would be impossible. Ger

Twenty-Five Thousand Republicans.

From the Kansas City Times
Says Governor Riddle in an interview: 1.-THE
talk of defeating the Republican party in Kan
sas this fall is not well founded. There were
about $500 Resubrnission Republicans in the
state in 1890 who voted for Robinson and Ives.
This year they will vote the straight Repub-
licans ticket" His observation in
duces him to believe that Murdoch has a
strong lead for governor. When
You add that vote TO Humphreys in 1890 and

A Cinch on the Nomination.

From the Troy Times.
Colonel II. NJ. Murdoch, of the Wichita
EAGLE, IS candidate for governor To read
the nice things the newspaper boys all over the
state are saying of him, one would think he
already had cinch ON the Republican nomi-
nation, but we remember that the papers were
saying things about Colonel Anthony OF the
Leavenworth Times, about four years ago, yet
he was not in it at the convention. We hope
the War Horse of the Arkansas Valley" Will
not be shelved to give place TO a spineless in
competent as was the fate of Colonel Anthony.

a Leading Republican.

From the Lakin Index.
The fact that the editor of the Wichita
EAGLE is highly spoken of by multitude of
newspapers throughout the state is no guaran-
tee that Marsh Murdoch will be the next gov
ernor of Kansas, but the numerous compli-
mentary notices that he is receiving IS highly
creditable to his worth and ability as pros
pective candidate and leading Republican,
and leaves no doubt that the gubernatorial
chair would be worthily occupied should he
receive the nomination. If other fair charm
ers" were not in the way, Murdoch might have
a walk over, but the real sentiment of the peo-
pie has not yet been ascertained.

The First District,

From the Atchison Champion.
The First congressional district cannot be
said to be solid for any one gubernatorial can
didate. 1t is highly probable that Mr.. Price,
if he concludes to stay in the raee-a thing
his better judgment will, we trust, disapprove-
may secure few delegates; that Major Nor
rill. if he is sure enough candidate, will Sc
cure some delegates from this district, and
Colonel Murdoch. the strongest candidate yet
named, or likely to be named, will likewise
receive his full share of delegates from this
district; and, on the second ballot, if he does
not secure the nomination on the first, it is
morally certain that fully nine-tenths OF this
districts delegates will go for Murdoch.
