KYPHosIs BICYoLIsTARUM.
An Angular Deformity Produced by
Leaning Forward "a Bicycling.

From the London Lancet.
One evil traceable to bicyliug is the con
firmed stoop which has already declared
itself in many wheelmen, a result so com
mon in the less strongly built bicyclists
of the continent as to have found its way
into classification as the HYPNOSIS bicy-
clistarul.n
The dOrsal curvature posteriOrly, which
used to be rare in BOYS under IA years of
age, is, now that the bicycle is so largely
used, very frequently met with, particu-
larry among those young bicyclists whose
spinal column is developing more RAPIDLY
than the ligaments and muscles, and in
whose case, therefore, the equilibrium be
turbod.
Were it merely an unsightly deformity,
the stoop in question ought to be combat
ed in every way; but confirmed dors3l
curvature posteriorly has consequences Of
its own quite mischieyous enough to call
for immediate condensation The dis
placement, embarrassed fuuc tional actiV-
ity, and arrested or diseased development
OF these organs, which HYPNOSIS inevitably
induces, are all too serious to warrant the
slightest neglect in remedying them
Exercise of a kind to accusbom the
spinal column to an action directly antag-
Ouistic to the inclination forward of the
bicyclist's attitude is what is needed. The
use Of the Indian clubs Or such similar
means Of incuyating the spine anteriorly,
throwing out the chest and maintainingthc
head erect. should be praeticed with That
object All the undoubted advantages Of
bicycling may thus be retained without
that cultivation Of the stOop which tends
to take cubit from the stature of its in
yeterate expOnents and to impose bunch
backed development on what it would
then be figure of speech to call the ris-
ing generation.

Ploughed Up a Meteor in California.


About a year ago great meteor fell at
or near Table Mountain. The fall of the
visitor from unknown spheres and the
CONSERVATION it caused among those who
were witnesses was told in a graphic
manner to a reporter of this paper by
Prof George H. Stout, superintendent of
schools, and created wide interest.
Searching parties were organized, and
several scientific gentlemen came here to
Get. if possible, a piece of the meteor. Mr.
Stout received letters from all over the
United States and even from Europe.
But DESPITE strenuous efforts no trace of
the mysterious mass could be found.
The other day, however, Charles Il.
Bloomfield, who resides some miles TO inc
west of where this meteor was supposed
to have struck. discovered what is I'M
doubtedly a fragment of the same. He
was ploughing his field when the lmple-
meut turned up a mineral mass which
MIR Bloomfield Immediately recognized
as not being of the ordinary character
He brought the same 20 Orovllle this
morning. and it is now on exhibition at
Norton & Elkman's drug store. The
fragment weighs fifty pounds, IS OF blnJ
mr. brownish color on the surface, and for
its size is remarkably heavy AssayeF
Flxman saws that the mass IS mostly com
nosed of iron. although he has as yet
made mo regular assay. He says that
there Is no doubt of its being of meteoric
o,irin and he will at once test it and md
what its component parts are. ne VII

Litigation over AN Arizona Mine I'm the

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 26.-Argument
commenced today in the United States
circuit court in the case of the Grown
King Mining company, whose property
is located at Grown King, Yavapai
county. Aris., against Orrin V. Place
and George p. Harrington. on q motion
to enjoin Place from holding q stock
holders meeting or attempting to vot to
the stock OF Wash @. Sheckels, which he
held by proxy, or from selling or assign
ing his shares of stock in the mine, and
also to enjoin Harrington. the secretary,
from issuing any newEcertifcates OF stock
for those now held by Place. Argu-
ments were continued to November
18th. and Judge Allen ordered Place,
Harrington and j. L. Marchard to turn
over to the court all the books and ac-
counts of the company held by them.
The caee was brought here on a change
of venue, asked for by Place, from the
Christian county circuit court, where
temporary Injunction had been granted.
The company's principal office is in Ed
inburgh, Christian county, Ill. The
complaint alleges that Place usurped
the position of president by being
elected at an illegal meet ing OF the di-
rec tors, and that he had emhezzled
$l50,000 of the compsny's money and
wrecked the mine. Place in answer al
leges that Secretary Harrington wrecked
the mine, and denies the charges against

Jack Dillon and Happy Jack Cieverly
Captured.
SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 26-Jsck Dill
Ion, an ex-convict, and Happy Jack,
suspected of being the two daring out
laws who recently held up and robbed
a faro game at Cmur d'Alene city of
$500, are under arrest. They were cap
tured by Constable Bechtel OF that place.
Early yesterday morning Bechtel went
to the cabin of Sam Peterson, who has
a ranch at the foot of Tamerac Butte.
Bechtel knocked at the door and, cover.
ing Peterson with a shotgun when the
door was opened, stepped inside and dis
covered Dillon. In another minute he
had handouts on his wrists. Happy
Jack could not be found, and the con-
stable rode to Oakesdale with Dillon
sitting in front of him. Lodging him in
jail, Bechtel went to bed. About 10 80
he arose and saw Sam Peterson ride
down the street past the front of the
Jail. Suspecting a plot the officers
nsstened to the rear OF the building.
There sat Happy Jack mounted on q
horse with two big revolvers in his belt,
evidently trying to discover which win
dow opened into Dillon's cell. He saw
his game was up. held up his hands and
slid out of the saddle. HandcuffH were
snapped on his wrists and he was
lodged in iail.

10 JOS CLAIM.

Another Feature of the Stowell Fire
management
There has been much comment re-
garding the conduct of the fire depart
m ent in handling the fire in the Stowell
block, but the ludicrous side of the affair
has just come to light.
10 10, the well-known character OF
this city, who usually goes ABOUT gaily
bedecked with bouquet on his manly
bosom and laboring under the weight Of
a 10 inch silk tile, has caused the fire
department much uneasineas. 10 10
claims it was through his instruman-
tally that the block was saved. So
firmly he believes this to be true that
he has sent in bill for his services.
When oJo presented the bill to the
chief, he was informed that it would
have to 60 before the fire commission
ers. After persistent objection, 10
finally thought that was the proper
body to act upon it.
The bill alleges that on October 14th
10 10, otherwise known as the mascotte,
did, knowingly and correctly, assist the
Los Angeles fire department in saving
the Stowell block from utter destruc-
tion, wherefore the said 10 Jo asks to be
remunerated to the extent and sum OF
% cents for such services.
10 10 now lsboring under the delusion
that the mayor will call an extra SEES
sion of the fire commission to consider
the validity of his claim.

THE man Evans, who is beng tried
for the murder of Tovey, Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S stage messenger between Jack
son and lone, will probably be convicted
on his own confession made when he
was first arrested. But some of the
witnesses, whose testimony has not
been impeached, say that Evans was
miles away from the scene of the
murder at the time it occurred. There
is also evidence going to show that the
accused was man of very weak mind
and hardly capable of realizing the effect
of his admission. Detective Hume has
made declaration of a most startling
character. He says he is certain that
Evans is innocent, and is astounded
that the officers of Amsdor county
should show so much determination in
their efforts to convict the poor imbecle
wretch whom they cannot be morally
satisfied is guilty of the awful crime of
which he is accused. Perhaps, how
ever, Sheriff Thorne, who bears q fine
reputation, and who has been sheriff OF
Cslaveras county for nearly forty years.
is possessed of facts that have not yet
been brought out in the trial showing
the unquestioned culpability of the
accused. Sheriff Thorne is not the man
to work for the conviction ofan innocent
person merely that he may get the re-
wards offered.

We are now prepared for the future,

Los Angeles. The system is undoubtedly
costly one. but 1t will amply repay us

US against disease. As health resort
Los Angeles will in the future be more
eagerly sought after than it has been

The midwinter fair at San Francisco
now looks as if it would materialize into
much more important exposition than
was at first supposed, The promoters
of the enterprise have shown great en-
ergy and persistence in their determine
tion to carry it successfully out, and the
laggsrds among the rich San Francis
cans have been shamed into coming to
its assistance. The undertaking has
been so warmly espoused by all classes
of people that those who were at first
doubtful of it's success, and treated it
with coolness, have become very friendly
to it. The grounds set apart for it at
Golden Gate park are now the busy
scene of great numbers of workmen who
are engaged in putting up the buildings,
the plans OF which have already been
accepted. Contracts have been let for
great variety of improvements, and
the activity displayed in the park leaves
no doubt that the fair will be opened to
visitors on time. The space that was at
frat allotted to Southern California for
| it's buildings did not suit the gentlemen
sent there to select the site. But the
managers readily changed the selection,
and our commissioners have returned
we'll pleased with the location. 1t is
proposed to erect a building to coat
$25, 600, in which the counties OF South
ern California will display their exhib-
it's. 1t is now believed that many of the
most attractive exhibits OF the Coum-
bisn exposition will be transferred to
the California midwinter fair, and that
there will be quite large number of
visitors from the east attracted to it. In
any event it will be very generally at
tended by Pacific coast people, and the
promoters are sanguine that it will be a
financial success.

chase of the plant, nor is it likely that
il will at the figure named. Bat the in
formation may be useful to the council
as a hint. The most singular feature,
however, OF this ESTABLISHMENT is yet
to come. The publication mentioned
was evidently acce pied by 'Jayhawker,"
alias Colonel Woodward, as accurate,
and he hurried to write letter to the
officials here of the water company de-
manding "divvy" in the transaction.
The letter bears internal evidence that
it was inspired by the Journals article
which the writer accepted as detailing
the facts in the transaction. The mis-
sive, after its contents were copied, was
sent to Mr.. Pierce, who will probably
settle with the astute "Jayhawker"
when he pockets the $750,000 of q

If MISS kELso. the city librarian, is
determined to carry her demand for re-
imbursement of her expense to the
worlds fair into the courts, she must be
set down as a lady of more than ordi-
nary tenaciousness of purpose. After
Judge Van Dykes decision against the
junketing committee OF the board Of
education, it is hard to see how a claim
of similar character can be maintained.
She says she went to Chicago in the
public interest. and that therefore her
expenses should be borne by the tax
payers. The only interest the public
could possibly have in her excursion is
the fame she could give to our public
library and the new ideas che could
gather at the meeting of librarians there
to enable her to improve her work when
she returned to her duties here. Every
school teacher who attended the fair
could set up equally as good claim for
reimbursement of their expenses. Miss
Kelso is evidently suffering from bad ad-
vice, and probably will not recover her
normal equanimity until her absurd
claim has been thrown out OF court.

SENATOR WHITE was unexpectedly
called to Washington yesterday and
started for the national capital last
night. The Chinese extension bill is
now before the senate, and Senator Per-
kins had it held back until his colleague
could give his views on the effect OF its
passage. Senator White believes that
the object of the bill is to enable the
Six companies to again test the consti-
tutionality of the law before the su-
preme court, and is framed in such a
manner as to justify the suspicion that
it will be declared invalid by that court.
Senator White will doubtless give CO.
gent reasons to show that it's passage
would be calamitous.

TIE battle-ship Oregon was success
fally launched at the Union Iron Works,
San Francisco, yesterday. This is the
most formidable war vessel yet built on
this coast, AID if, when she is COM
pleted and has made her trial trip,
she proves to be all that the govern
ment specifications call for, the question
will be settled as to our capacity to build
all the vessels the government may re-
quire on this coast. The cost of the
Oregon is fixed it $4,000,000. Perhaps
she might have been built for something
less at some OF the eastern yards. But
az she is destined for service on this
coast, the cost of fitting her out and
bringing her around the Horn would
have to be added if she had been con-
structed in the east. All that is saved
by building her here, and exemplifies
the economy of constructing on this
coast all war vessels designed for perma-
nent service in the Pacific waters.

A ROSY PICTURE FROM WALL STREET

The last ieeue received of the Clews
circular takes rosy view OF the business
situation under the general belief that
the Sherman act will be repealed. 1t is
we'll to keep au courant OF the expressed
views OF the leading lights in favor OF
the single gold standard. They have
studiously educated the people in the
belief that the silver purchase act alone
is at the bottom of the business die
turbsnce in this country. When that
measure is repealed they will stand
committed before the people to the re-
vivsl of business. The issue will de-
termine how far they are right. Says
the circular:
Upon business operations at large,
the position of the senate also has dis
couraging effect. Among the mass of
traders, the situation is not so clearly
understood as it is In the higher circles
of capital, and there, therefore. the con-
fidence in the ultimate adoption of re-
peal has less positive sustaining effect.
Consequently. in the retail business,
the growing excitement at Washington
rather tends to suggest distrust than to
encourage hope. But while this much
has to be conceded, yet it cannot be de-
MED that, in the commercial situation
at large, there are many elements sug-
eestive OF hope. The past disasters
have purged business of it's weak points
and the basis of credit was sounder
than it was before the depression. In
dustries are resuming their suspended
work, and in many cases under condi-
ditions which will yield improved
profits. Labor is being correspondingly
called into more regular employment.
and the purchasing power of the work
ing millions is thereby being increased.
The increasing supply oil products has
not sufficed to fill the vacuum caused by
depleted stocks, and, as a rule, prices OF
commodities are consequently we'll sus-
tanned. Taken as whole, the CONNER
cial situation is such that in case of the
passage of silver repeal, there could
hardly fail to be marked revival OF
trade and large return towards general
normal conditions. Considering that all
the present indications point to the early
forcing of vote on silver repeal, it will
therefore be apparent how near we may
possibly be to general revival OF busi-
ness.
Should the vaccinations OF the Wall
street circular come true, will they not
as we'll prove that the gold-bugs have
brought about an artificial stringency in
order to produce the panic as that the
panic was brought about by the silver
purchase act? Other countries, includ-
ing those of the single gold standard,
are going through an ordeal similar to
ours. This purchase of silver cannot be
blamed for their condition, and the con-
clusion is inevitable that the mono.
metallists in this country forced the
crisis here for the purpose of accom-
plishing their object of giving, as they
suppose, death blow to silver. They
have it in their power to restore fac.
titious business prosperity Just as they
had it in their power to produce panic.
We ehall see whether they have accom-.
plished their object to their own satis-
faction and are ready to unlock the door
of contraction so as to permit the coun.
try to return to prosperity which there
was no valid reason to disturb.
