IN HONOR OF SHIELDS.
Statue of the Distinguished General Un
yelled at Washington.

Statue of the Distinguished General Un-
veiled at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Another figure
has been added to the distinguished ar
ray of warriors, statesmen and invent
ors, whose monuments, erected in Stat
uary Hall of the United States Capitol,
symbolizes the regard in which they
were held by at least one state of the
Union. General James Shields, who
was thus honored, was the favorite son
of three states, and his ashes rest in Mis-
souri,, but Illinois, by resolution of its
legislature, decided that his statue
should be one of the two which it is en-
titled to place in Statuary Hall. Illinois,
therefore, had the chief place in the
ceremonies, but Missouri and Minnesota
also took advantage of the opportunity
to do especial honor to the memory of
their soldiers of bygone days.

The New Measure Discussed by the Ways
and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The revised
tariff bill was laid before the ways and
means committee during the morning.
The changes which have been made
during the two weeks have been noted
from time to time, the most important
being pearl buttons and tin plate. Mem
bers of the majority of the committee
say that the changes made are mostly
from ad valorem to specific duties
where such changes were necessary
from a business standpoint The bill
was taken up by the full committee by
sections, and the Republican members
offered amendments and discussed the
bill from time to time. It is the inten-
ton of the majority members to vote
down all amendments offered by the Re-
publicans and report the bill as soon as
possible in its present revised condition.

DEFENDANTS ACQUITTED.
Verdict in the Noted Thrun Case at Wan
sau, Wis.

Verdict in the Noted Thrun Case at Wau-
sau, Wis.
WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 9.-The jury in
the Thrun conspiracy case which has
occupied much attention here for the
past three weeks, brought in verdict
Of not guilty as to each of the defend
ants, Hanson, Folletts and Handy.
The jury was out twenty-six hours.
They disagreed at first as
to Hanson, SO it is generally understood.
The case has attracted widespread notice
because of the sensational features de-
veloped. Thrun, who pleaded guilty to
the charge of conspiracy when arraigned,
cannot be sentenced because there is no
co-conspirator, a necessary element to
constitute an offense.

WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 10.-The jury in
the case of Herman and Otto Hobeck,
brothers, charged with having killed
their father, brought in verdict of not
guilty as to Otto and guilty of man.
slaughter as to Herman. The jury was
out 90 hours. Herman was sentenced
fenced to seven years hard labor
by Judge Bardeen. The crime
was a revolving one, the father
being chopped to pieces by
Herman and the head severed from
the body. The two boys then dug hole
in the ground, buried the corpse and
felled tree over the spot. The boys
were densely ignorant. Their father
had always abused them, and on this
occasion was about to attack them with
hatchet.

Velocity of the Earth's Rotation.

Everybody knows that the earth
makes one complete revolution on its
axis once every "a hours. But few,
however, have any idea of the high rate
of speed necessary to accomplish that
feat. The highest velocity ever attained
by cannon ball has been estimated at
1896 feet per second, which is equal
to mile in 3.2 seconds. The earth,
in making one revolution in "a hours,
must turn with velocity nearly equal
to that of cannon ball. In short, the
rate of speed at the equator has been
estimated at nearly 1900 feet per- Sec
ond, or a mile every 3.6 seconds.
Therefore it has been calculated that if
a cannon ball were fired due west and
could maintain it's initial velocity in
dependent of the earth, and could keep
up the speed with which it left the
mouth of the gun, it would beat the
sun in his apparent journey around the
earth. st. Louis Republic.
