The Interesting Results of the Study of a
 Frogs Tiny Muscle.
 The young man who has had the priceless experience of self abandonment to some happily chosen point was well illustrated in n man knew, writes G. Stanley Hall ill Tho Forum. With the dignity and sense of finality of the American senior year quick within him his first teacher in Germany told hIm to study expcrimontally one of tho IT muscles of frogs leg. The mild dis sipation of a somewhat too prolonged general culture, aided by some taste for breezy philosOphic speculation, almost diverted him from so mean an object. But as he progressed he found that he must know i'll n more minute and prac- tical way than befure-in n way that made previous knowledge seem unreal certain definite points in electricity, chemistry, mechanics, physiology, etc. [, and bring them to bear in fruitful rela- tion to each other. As the winter pro- ceedcd the history of previous views was studied and broader biological re- lations seen, and as the summer waned and second year was begun in the study of this tiny muscle it was seen that its laws arc the same ill frogs and men; that just such contractile tissue had done all that man had accomplish ed in the world, and that muscles arc the only organs of the will. As tho work went on many of the mysteries of tho universe seemed to enter in his theme. In the study of this minute ob- ject he gradually passed from the atti- tudc of Peter Bell, of whom the poet sayS.

It is not to be wondered at, that we are sealing so many wash goods. We have just what the ladies all want. Friday and Saturday of last week. we sold quantities of Wash Goods at 12S cents per yard. To prices than that. but most any lady would rather pay 12A for 25c goods than 10 buy cheaper goods at a lower price. We shall put on sale Tuesday a big line of w sh Goods. similar to those advertised for last Friday and Saturday. All we can say is thatshey are very good value and will go quickl5.s Fifteen pieces of regular 25c satines will go at the same price-12Ic. These are mostly dark colors-navy ground with shite figures, also few black grounds in stripes and figures.
 Have you seen the summer corset we are selling for 4Sc. It is n ventilated, open wove corset. good fitting and we'll made. Every lady we have sold them to, is pleased with them. and why shouldn't she be? They are a bargain and most ladies know bargain when they see it.
 For this week we shall sell. a specially good Jersey Vest in White and Ecru at 12h cents each. Don't get these goods confounded with those everybody is selling for that price. They are no more alike than chalk is like cheese. Almost every lady who sees these vests will buy from them.
 Fifty-three Ladies White. Jersey Union Suits that we formerly sold for 9sc will be closed out for A9c each. They go on sale Tuesday morning at this price and will go wis|a rush.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1894-07-18

Attractive prices such as we put on these suits will make sales. ..t
 We will place on sale Tuesday morning every tailor made suit We have left at from 25 to 5O per cent discount. They are of perfect cut and correctly made. The sell ing of these suits means a loss to us, but that means bu iness. We cannot afford to carry them over so you get the benefit.

He has always opposed movements
for reform and reduction of fees and
salaries of county officers both in re-
publican conventions and in the legis-
lature as win be hereafter shown. The
ofiice-holders and politicians have never
had a more obedient servant and tool
than he, for he has depended upon
them exclusively to bolster him into
place and power. But if those who
pay the taxes and bear the burdens of
government will inquire into his ways
and scan his legislative career, even
his office-holding brigade can't save
him. At Washington he would never
scruple at a salary grab and repeat it
if he had a chance. In this / am only

votes for him or not. He is emphatic

report whether or not any claim against
such estate growing out of the debt Of
The Central Pacific Railroad company
should not be relinquished and set at
rest. Senator Hosr is reported as hay
Ing argued that inasmuch as Mr.. Stan
ford had given largely to education
and philanthropy the estate should not
be disturbed; that even if the United
States was entitled to the IS million
dollars that the attorney general has
made claim for, it would only amount
TO about 20 cents apiece to the inhsbi-
tants of the United States. And to
show that there is no party politics in
the resolution it is only necessary to
say that Senator Voorhees, also favored
the resolution, If these two senator's
are not "paternalists" on certain occa-
sions, we don't know what the word
means. If the government wants to
engage in 'psternslism" it had better
select some Of the worthy poor who are
homeless, and with that 10 million
dollars buy $1,000 families each a
$1 900 home. This would not be right,
but nearer SO than giving it to one
family.
The government should make the
Pacific roads pay up at once, instead
Of perpetusting the debt indefinitely.
The people should keep their eyes on
their servants in congress as they deal
with this question, and we will say in
advance that the member of congress
who votes to continue to deprive the
government of the interest due from
the Pacific railroad will lay himself
open to the charge of being unduly in
tluenced by those corporations that
have grown rich on government favor.

the circumstance that that honest and

nent Of the gold standard, V. III. Wan
Horne of eoursel, in his Washington
letter to the Kansas City Journal Of
last Sunday, June 10, admOnishes all
who are opposed to the crusade against
silver to vote for no candidate for con-
gress who is not open, fiat footed and un-
equiVocsllY against the gold standard,
and that any other ratio than l6 to /
(40 to for example) would be a COM
pliance with the gold standard and q
perpetuation of the present depressed
gold prices in the country and the alb
solute ruin of labor and production
am glad to say that very many repub-
licans in this county accept this coun-
sci and will act In pursuance of it. For
Blue has made no secret that he was q
John Sherman gold standard apostle
indeed has proclaimed it everywhere
and aloud. But / hazard the predic-
tion that now he will begin to hedge as
he sees the handwriting on the wall,
for he is an adept at hedging, to catch
the popular breeze. An original oppo.
nent Of prohibition, both in principle
and practice, he whipped about with
great facility when he discovered how
the land lay in his senatorial district;
but ! am sorry to say he didn't change
his practice as thoroughly as his pro.
fessed principle. And an enemy to
female suffrage till the thirst for office
took possession of him, of course he
pretended to trim his sails so as to
catch that breeze also. he is anything
for popular favor and votes, and there
fore, you may expect to hear him de-
clare for free coinage of silver as the
the campaign wakes warm and he hears
from the people.

MAJORS THE WINNER.
Indications Point to His Election by
at Least Six Thousand Plurality.
WHAT THE FIGURES ARE.
Entire Republican Legislative Ticket In
Douglas County Elccted-Results In
Iowa-Morrell Elected Governor
OF Kansas,

OMAHA, Nov. THE total vote on
governor in Douglas county with five
precincts not heard from was 2O,162.
For Majors, 10, 146; for Holcomb, 9,562;
for Sturdevant, 454.
Complete returns reported are as fol-
lows:
Dawson county, Majors, 1915; Hol.
comb, 1888.
Nance county, Majors, CAT; Hol-
comb, sos.
The entire Republican legislative
ticket in Douglas is elected.
The Bee at noon Wednesday claimed
Holcomb's election by from 6, 900 to I, 900
plurality. Its reports from 800 precincts
We're as follows: Holcomb, $780,;
Majors, 1881; Sturdevant, l.347. These
figures do not seem to warrant belief
that the Bees estimate is correct.
The World Herald, at 1890 p. m, says:
Three hundred and thirty EIGHT precincts
give Majors 34,7l2, Holcomb 2S, 1873.
Compared with the vote of the Same pre-
cincts year ago, this shows a Repub-
ican gain of 9,272 votes. II this rate of
increase continues in the remaining two
thirds of the state Majors plurality will
reach $500.
1t must be remembered, however, that
the reports from the country districts are
likely to reduce the Republican lead very
decidedly. Perhaps they will wipe it
out"
The Republicans elect at least seven
councilmen out of nine.
AT . a. m. Majors had plurality of
4,5Oo outside of Douglas and Lancaster
counties. Douglas has given Majors 5s4
votes over Holcomb and Lancaster is
certain to give 1900 for Majors. So by
figuring the estimates of the opposition
to Majors, 1T is safe to say that Majors
is elected governor by a plurality of not
less than 5000.
