VIGlLANTE METHODS.
Relentless Pursuit of Bad Men in
the Western States.
TFrom Chambers Journal.

The vigilantes have a thorough sys-
tenn of their own of private inquiry and
espionage as well. Many a thief has
mentally wondered, with much I'M
necessary profanity, how it was known
that he had appropriated some neigh
boris calf, colt Or horse. Each district
has its own committee. This commit
tee does not work outside its district,
save in special cases. Committees as
In heavy cases committees will join
each together. In such an event from
500 to 1000 men can be centered at any
given spot on very short notice. When
action is needed every member must at
tend the rendezvous, absolute incapa-
city from illness being the only excuse
admitted. The members are bound to
secrecy, and to help and assist each
other in all cases of emergency-to an
extreme limit. The obligation is a
stringent one. No one is admitted as a
member unless he is well reported on
by the other members. An executive
committee is formed of picked men
only, who do all the preliminary work,
do it skillfully and thoroughly, and do
not state the result of their Iabors until
on this eve of carrying out their plans.
AS an illustration of how thoroughly
the vigilantes are in their methods, [
may give the following: Two "road
agents" in Montana had killed without
any provocation two passengers on a
stage coach in open daylight. The
agents, well mounted, started at once to
leave the country. Three vigilantes fol-
lowed them. Day after day the vigilantes
followed the trail, but failed to overtake
the road agents, who, well knowing the
character of the sleuth hounds Oh their
track, were forcing their tired horses to-
| ward the south. The latter at last gave
out-the agents stole two fresh ones
from stable, renewed their flight
| through Idaho, down into Utah, and
across to Nevada-the hunters behind
them, tracking day by day and hour
by hour. AT last the vigilantes over
took their men, and two ringing shots
from Winchester rifles ended that
chapter. A local paper afterward stat
ed that "the bodies of two men, each
shot through the heart, were found yes
terday on the roadside. They had a
considerable sum of gold ON their per.
sons, but no papers to identify them by

work, as robbery evidently was not ar

disturbed -

NATURAL lcE-MAKING PLANT
An Iowa Cave where Water Freezes
All Summer.
From the Milwaukee journal. !

From the Milwaukee Journal
On the northeastern bank of the up
per Iowa river, opposite the city of De-
corah Ia, is remarkable cave. Dur
ing the warmer days of summer ice is
formed on its sides and floor. The rest
of the year, even when it is freezing
outside, no ice is formed in the cave.
During a visit to this cave last July the
temperature was 81 degrees. The walls
were covered with frost and there was
probably half a ton of ice in the cave.
In few places where the water was
slowly dripping icicles were being
formed. From the entrance to the ice
the distance was about 80 feet. The
entrance was yelled with cloud of
mist. There was no perceptible cur
rent of air in the cave.
This is the explanation of this phe-
nomenon. 1t is a well established law
of nature that the evaporation of any
liquid requires heat. 10 evaporate one
gallon of water at 212 degrees requires
as much heat as to raise 81 gallons from
freezing point to boiling point. If we
suppose the water dripping into the
cave to have a temperature of SO de-
grees, every gallon of it cooled and con-
verted into ice will give off enough
heat to change one gallon from 60 the
boiling point and convert it into vapor.
In other words, one gallon of water
evaporated from the outer wall of the
cave changes five gallons of water in
the cave into ice. So the warmer the
day the faster the evaporation, the more
ice will be found in the cave. On cold
days the evaporation is only sufficient
to reduce the temperature inside the
cave to some point above freezing. So
no ice is formed. And the colder and
| damper the weather, the higher the
temperature in the cave becomes. But
on hot, dry days in the summer, when
evaporation is going on rapidly, one
will always find ice there. When this
cave was discovered it was said to have
been used by an Indian chief for cold
storage, in which he placed hot-headed
warriors of nations to which he was
hostile and, divesting them of their
clothing, let them perish from the cold.

About S40,0 900 is wanted, and the Home
asks for help from its friends, believ-
ing that it has the confidence of the
public.
As long as intemperance, lax divorce
laws, idleness and improvidence, and
kindred evils exist, so long there will
be children who must be cared for by
public or private charity. There are
many, too, who, py the death or mis-
fortune of those who would otherwise
care for them, are destitute and must
be helped. viii not those who have
wealth help to make a home for these
helpless children?

For Destitute Children,

The managers of the Home for Desti-
tute Children at Burlington appeal to
the public for help in erecting new
buildings in the place of those burned
down last year. 1t is an appeal which
every citizen should consider. In Oc-
tober, 1865, the Home went into opera
ton, with seven little girls under its
care. During the % years which have
elapsed it has cared for nearly 900 chill
dren.
On the night of May 1, 1893 the Home
was burned to the ground. The insur-
ance money was promptly paid, but it
has since been expended for new build
ings. Other buildings fare needed, one
for the babies and nursery children,
and the other for general purposes.

Diseased Meat and Milk.
From Good Housekeeping !.

A short story connected with Hon.
Levi P. Morton's stock farm at Rhine
cliff, has several morals. The killing
of many head of his precious Guern seys
by the state board of health widely adj
vertised his herd. Then the wiping
out by fire of his herd and his barns
left the ground clear for fresh expert
ment. In twelve months the nucleus
of a new herd had been formed, and
now milk produced by it is selling for
eight cents quart, where other dealers
are getting but five. Mr.. Cottrell, the
superintendent, says: "The tuberculosis
scare has frightened everybody in the
vicinity, and the tuberculin test has
educated the people up to the knowl-
edge of the danger from this disease,
and they are demanding milk from
cows that have passed the test. Our
work is inspected both by physician
and veterinarian"
The destruction of large numbers of
costly animals infected with tuberculo-
sis on the farms of wealthy capitalist
has sharply called attention to a gen.
uine danger, but how widely spread no
one knows. Only a few weeks since a
New York city meat inspector found a
carcass full of tubercles exposed for
sale. He condemned it, and traced it
back to the producer, and the broadcast
possible stretching of the cloak of char
ity could not conceal the mans guilty
knowledge of the diseased meat. The
community is reused on the subject,
and the law is taking cognizance of the
fact, that you have no more right to fill
mans blood with tubercles than you
have to put shot into some of his vital
parts. Vigilance! vigilance! vigilance!
must be the cry. 1t is only within a
few months that hideous traffic in
lumpy.jawed cattle, conductedjust out
side the splendid Chicago stock yards,
has been stopped by law. This, as well
as anthrax, is easily communicable to
man. as is also trichinosis in swine. 1t
is to be hoped that the international
agitation of this subject will lead our
German population to discard even the
beloved Bologna, for thorough cooking
kills the pests, and it is being discov-
cred that the disease only appears in
hogs fed on unspeakable refuse. Gen.
tiles can learn large lesson from the
Hebrew rabbi, who only approves
"kosher" meat, and has understood the
danger from the pearl disease" thou
sands of years.
