STOLE A MARCH
And Laid the Track During the
NIGHT.

Alderman Poage told the city
council last night that the Missouri,
IL .nsas and Texas railroad com.
pany had violated the terms of their
contract with the city in laying a
track across Eleventh street without
proper grading and ballasting and
the city marshal was instructed to
stop the work.
When Mr.. Neil went out there
this morning he found that the
track had been laid during the
night, probably after Mr.. Poage's
statement.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

1t has been pointed out that the
unusually hot weather in England
favored the gas companies. With
a mean rise of some 20o Fair, the
gas expanded nearly four per cent
a gain TO the companies of 1000
cubic feet in every IS, 900.
The great earthquake which
occurred in Central Japan in
October, 1891 has b,en investigated
by Prof. B. koto. From study
of a great line of fault extending 20
miles from the Klsoga~a to the
City of Fukui, it appears that the
whole region on one side of the line
moved downward, and was shifted
horizontally northwestward one or
two yaris, causing the earthquake.
Cholera is usually traced to i'm.
pure water, but lew cases have
been recorded in which it was
carried by food, such as milk, fruit,
salad, and even bread and butter.
Recent experiments show that the
cholera bacilli may survive as much
AZ twelve or thirteen days on some
vegetables, but that they are very
sensitive TO acid, and are usually
destroyed IN one to six hours on
slices Of fruit.
VALUE OF HANDS AND FINGERS
The comparative value Of the
hands and fingers has been e'timat
ed in scale supplied by the Miners
Unions and Miners insurance com
panies of Germany. The loss of
both hands is reckonel as depre-
citation in wol king capacity of 100
per cent; of the right hand, 10 to
so per cent; left hand 60 to 10 per
cent; thumb, 20 to 80 per
cent; right fore6uger, IA to
ls per cent, left iorefnger,
s to IL ; per cent; third finger, the
least in value, : to per cent; little
finger, 8 to II per cent. The range
in percentages is due to the differ.
ence In occupations.
ELEcrRlcIry IS Nor LIFE.
These are conclusions of MIR. Ill.
Newman Lawrence: Q) All the
thousand and one changes which
take place in the structure of the
living body, be they due to the
never ceasing and involuntary pro-
cess of metabolism, or to the exer.
else of function, or to the effort of
will, partake of the nature of
chemic Al change. ~ All chemical
changes are accompanied by elec.ri-
cal manifestations. (3) Without
chemical change and interchange
life does not appear TO exist. (4)
Therefore, life is always aocompa-
MED by the generation of electricity
(5) Electrical energy, however, is
not the Immediate source OF the
vitality of the body.

THE OLD SOLDIERS FRIEND.

Secretary Hoke Smith through his
tool and agent, the commissioner OF
pensions. is trying to get congress to ap-
pr,priate 100000 to be devoted to the
examination of "pension frauds." Ac-
cording to Hoke's logic every soldier
who applies for aid to sustain him in his
old age, is an object of suspicion and
espionage, and the government shonld
put up the money to prove him so if pos
sible
A dollar invested in the support of an
aged and decrepit soldier is constant
source OF anxiety to Hoke and he is
willing to expend $40 to prevent it from
doing its holy work. Old soldiers who
gave the best of their lives to the pre-
servation of their country will not be
particularly edited Mt the attempt of the
secretary to transform ihtm into objects
of suspicion. They viii see Hoke and
the man who appointed him in 1896.

AN AWFUL PROSPECT.

AT present there seems to bs 10 possi-
BILE avenue of escape for Messrs. Corbett
and Mitchell. Unless some fortunate
and unforeseen contingency arises they
will be Obliged 20 do what both earnestly
desire to avoid-to put up their fists and
fight. They have mercilessly pummeled
enc another with their months for many
moons. The arena OF vituperative
oratory has leen hecked aud saturated
with braggadocio and bluffs times in
Vulnerable, but not for one moment has
either imagined that he would be
brought face TO face with the awful
alternative of fighting. Their only
hope OF escape now is 70 run
away rs quickly as possible. Let
Mitchell take the next steamer
and hie himself back to his native heath
with all celebrity while Corbett takes the
first train for the oblivion of California.
Their safety lies in putting as much
land aud water between themselves as
possible. Now, gentlemen, be off.

Such men as McKane are the most
dangerous menace to popular govern
ment. They have no respect for the
sanity of suffrage and consider the
ballot mere instrument by
which they may achieve their political
ends. Only the vote cast for them or
their associates is considered sacred.
They are conspirators against the
law Of the land, arch enemieI
of public welfare, the foes of
organized society. 1t is refreshing to
know that Mr.. McKane is to feel the
chastening rod as vigorously applied by
the law he has outraged and defed.
May his moral bac<-smart and sting
until he is reduced 10 condition suffi-
ciently repentant TO deter him from
similar misdeeds in the future. The
sentence is appropriate aud salutary.
