from the popular partisan methods. The
decalogue and the golden rule will be recog-
nized and as carefully observed as possible
under existing circumstances of partisan
Generalization.
BY order OF George Washington Corps
of Home Protectionists.
GRACE f. SMITH, Secretary.
There Is no such organization as that
purporting to be backing his candidacy and
the secretary whose name is signed to the
sister.
Besides the decalogue and the golden rule
which Gen Cameron proposes to make a
part Of the platform, he has added the
Declaration of Independence.
1t Is Gen. Cameron's plan to visit every
farm house in the district. He will carry
with him a large number of his own pic
lures and also pictures Of Jesus Christ and
declaration of principles In such a form
visits.
About six months ago Gen. Cameron
started from Lawrence on one Of his
frequent pilgrimages to Washington on
foot. He visited every city between his
home and the capital Of the country, and
on his return again visited number Of
the large cities of the country. He did
this to keep in touch with the laborers of
the country from one end to the other.
The only presidential candidate that he
has voted for was Benjamin Harrison. He
did this because he believed that a descend
ant of a signer Of the Declaration Of indie
pendence could not be other than American
in every respect.
When young Cameron held q clerks ship
in Washington. and while there took q live
interest in the questions that were agitating
the country. He came to Kansas in 1854
and at once entered body and soul into the
great hght against slavery.
Since the settlement Of that early struggle
he has been as active as ever IN his interest
| in politics. Though believing In the demo-
cratic party most of the time he has worked
| Independently of all parties. and when he
| espoused the cause of republicanism because
Harrison was nominated he conducted a
| campaign of his own. raising flags, making
speeches and issuing circulars throughout
| the entire state.
When the war broke out he volunteered
| and was mustered In as q private. He rose
| from the ranks. serving through the entire
| war. and was brevettsd brigadier general
| OF volunteers.
He has been styled the Kansas hermit"
| but this name applies to him moro on &C.
| count of his looks than anything else, He
wears his hair long. and when he II at
| work he wears his whiskers tied In q knot
and his hair braided and tied around his
| neck.
Such is the man who will be the tramp
| candidate" for Congress from the second
| Kansas district.

TEMPERATURE OF A BORE.
Interesting Experiment Conducted at
the Australian Mines.

From the Melbourne Leader.
Prof David and Mr.. Slice. chief inspector
Of mines. have ascertained the temperature
Of the Cremorne coal bore. which is 2927
feet deep. with a thermometer encased In
iron. owing to the great pressure of the
water. which is 40 pounds TO the square
foot.
The thermometer was put down three
times. On the first occasion, at Also feet
IL remained two hours. On the second oc-
casion IL went a little lower and remained
down twenty-six hours. and on the third Il
remained at nearly the same depth for an
hour. The reading ranged from 20 rs to pe
degrees Fahrenheit
IL Is concluded from this that at the
bottom OF the bore-2.927 feet-the tempera-
ture will be 100 degrees This is regarded
as very satisfactory. as at least los degrees
haa peen expected. The exact temperature

ENGLISHMEN GROW TALLER.
The stature Of Victoria's Subjects
Much Improved in Recent Years.

From the St louis Globe Democrat
Francis Gallon has collected some inter
esting facts In regard to the effect of ath-
letics and improved physical condition dur
ing the last forty years on the physique of
the middle classes.
Mr.. Cation gives instructive evidence of
the ameiora ton of the upper middle class
When he was an undergraduate at Cam
bridge from 1910 to 1874 although but five
feet nine and three-fourths inches in height
he was taller than the majority of his
fellows. In addressing them he habituaily
lowered his eyes. and if in a crowd he would
readily see over the heads of the people.
w riting in 1S.8, he states that he no
longer possesses these advantages. Altered
social conditions. in his opinion, have helped
to improve the bodily powers and address
of his Glass; such conditions. for instance
as more wholesome and abundant food, bet
ter cooking, warmer clothing, moderation In
the use of alcohol, better ventilated sleeping
rooms, more change through vacations, and
lastly, the healthy lives led by women In
their girlhood.

Grand Jury Report.

Grand Jury Report.
The Grand Jury after being in
session since Monday, Septem Der
10, adjourned on Tuesday of this
week and was discharged. below
we append their report:
TO tile Honorable, tile Judges oftAe
Circuit Court for Garrett
County,
The Grand jury for the Septem-
Der term of 1894, respectfully report
that they have carefully examined
one hundred and twenty-five wit
nesses in the investigations of the
various cases and complaints
brought before them, and they have
wherever the evidence together with
due regard to circumstances in the
premises appeared to justify, found
prosentments and all such cases rs
they deemed either Of a trivial ma
ture or inadequately sustained by
facts have been dismissed and the
witnesses discharged.
Our labors have been lightened
and our way made clear by the
ready council and obhging spirit of
the States Attorney.
The large number of irresponsible
witnesses without testimony or in
formation appertalning to any
actual interest within the province
Of the Grand Jury's inquiries, is,
probably difficult to avoid under
the existing system and practice,
but it so seriously impedes the
progress and multiplies the costs of
this branch of the court, as to per-
suade us to respectfully invite the
attention of your Honors to the
pressing need of some bar or salu-
tary restraint against growing
custom debasing to its perpetrators
and burdensome to all tax payers.
Conforming with the instructions
Of the court and with the require
ments we have visited the county
jail and the various public build
ingS, offices and apartments and the
officials in charge of each have
politely met and fully shown us
over the rooms, records papers and
charges committed to their super
vision and keeping. 1t gratifies US
to observe in the office, vaults and
methods of the County Clerk much
added thoroughness in the arrange
ments for keeping and preserving
the public records and papers. I he
other offices in the court house
were found also in an apparently
well directed condition.
Incarcerated in the jail on the
lower floor are four male
prisoners; on the upper floor four
female prisoners with two female
children under three years of age.
These unfortunate people seem to
be as we'll provided for as it is pos
sible for the sheriff to provide for
them. The Jail is imperfect in all
Its departments and its absolute
failure in sanitary consideration
imposes extraordinary hardships
upon its inmates, and in our esti-
nation well calculated to breed
infectious maladies.
We further recommend the cree
ton Of a wall of such construction
about the jail as will prevent parties
on the outside from such close
communication with the prisoners
as to easily pass through the win
dow bars implements for causing
their escape.
Having now discharged all duties
known to us as jurors we pray that
your Honors will dismiss us from
further attendance.
