The Officers Continue the Search Of the
Milan Section.

Milan. Mo, May 26,-The hunt for
the Taylor brothers, who murdered
the Meeks family, continues with APP
parently but little success, but the
United States officers seem to believe
that the fugitives are hiding close to
the scene of the mdrder and within
easy access of their friends and that
they are being cared for and fed by
the latter, aud Deputy Marshal j. w.
Freeman says that it is now evident
that friends of the Taylors mingle
with the posse who are attempting to
run down the assassins. Bloodhounds
are being kept in the vicinity where
the Taylor's are supposed to be hid

Mars,

Westermann says that the first sight OF
Mars through modern telescope is real
ly terrifying" even for person of good
nerve. 1t is as if one saw the whole earth,
with its icy poles and variegated tropics.
floating in the great blue canopy of space
above. Through such an instrument one
can clearly distinguish the clear blue seas
and the brilliant, beaming, many hued
dry land, and on the latter the scorched
up beds of what have once been lakes,
bays, rivers and creeks.
As one continues to look with raptured
gaze' he can note the variation of colors
and of light and shade, and, further, that
the outlines on one edge of the disk pass
gradually out of sight, while on the other
the ever changing and wondrous landscape
continually expands. Thus you have ocu-
lar proof that Mars, like our world and the
other planets; revolves on its axis, and that
the ends of the axes are frozen poles. AS
tronomers who watch Mars year after year
say that the ice crust at the poles d;min-
ishes during the Marsian summer, thus
demonstrating the fact that the planet is
influenced by the suns rays precisely as
our world is and that the atmosphere and
water are identical with those of our globe.

ORGAN Pines.

Almost the gentlest wind pressure will,
when admitted into the pipes of an organ,
cause them to emit sound-one-tenth of
a pound per square foot will certainly do
so--and enable the player to use the in
strument. The stronger the pressure the
greater will be the number of vibrations
of the air column within the pipe, and in
the case of musical sounds the pitch OF the
note depends on the number of vibrations
made by the sounding body in any given
time. Savart, by series of experiments,
showed that seven or eight vibrations per
second produced a continuous sound 1ecog-
nized as musical note of great depth in
the scale, while between 80, 900 and 40, 600
vibrations produce the highest or shrillest
audible sound. Helmholtz recently fixed
the lower limit at 16 vibrations and the
higher at 3S, 900 vibrations second. The
largest organ in the world, that in the
Sydney town hall, has 10000 pipes, 1876
speaking stops and is blown by gas en-
CINE of II to Is horsepower. The sound
from the pipe of an organ is caused by the
vibration of the column of air within it,
and this air column is thrown into vibra-
ton by blowing thin sheet of air against
a sharp edge. The air current breaks
against the sharp edge and there produces
fluttering noise, and the proper pulse of
the futter is converted by the resonance of
the pipe above into a musical sound

Will Brooks, son Of VIM. H. Brooks,
died at Las Cruces, New Mexico, Friday
morning. He went to New Mexico for his
health last May, having been sick at his
home in this city with consumption for sew
eral months. His mother joined him later.
About two weeks ago they left Los Vegas,
where they had been stopping but where he
gradually grew worse. 1t was hoped that
he would be benefited by the change to
Las Cruces, but at the last he quickly passed
away. Everything possible was done for
him by his family. He had very many
friends in this city who will learn of his
death with profound sorrow.

1t ought by this time to be a we'll &C.
cepted fact that appearances are deceiving
and that Que may go miles back from the
centres of civilization without being assured
that the people he meets will be lacking in
mother wit. There is one man living in
Augusta, however, who hadn't fully COM
pretended these facts. 1t is different with
him now. The change was brought about
as follows: He: and a friend had bus
mess in a back country town q few days
ago. They stopped in little store to warm
themselves and the man from Augusta after
looking over the stock of general merchan-
disc thought he discovered streak of
humor in himself. He began to "guy" the
proprietor. This latter individual was little
dried up man who spoke with a genuine
Yankee drawl and looked for all the world
as if he would take a bunco steerer for his
best friend. Emboldened by his succet
the man from Augusta continued his chaif-
ing. Finally he assumed to be sportf-
Ulau. he was AZ wv " os> '
for had an old woodsman told him lucivees
grew on pines he would have believed it.
The Yankee storekeeper's eyes twinkled as
the Augusta man asked one foolish question
after another but he said nothing. Finally
the former remarked that he'd like to get
a good pair of antlers, he should pre-
fer does antlers, he thought those the
best, and wanted to know if Mr.. Yankee
knew where he could get pair in that
vicinity. The latter leaned over his coun-
ter and drawled out eff it's does antlers
yeou want I'm afeerd yeou wunt find 'em
araouud here. Does hereabouts don't hev
antlers but smooth faced monkeys without
any tails hev been known to roam into this
ere section frum other parts"

selves, have been doing battle royal with

play all around them at high-low-jack. The

SOME OF THE COMMENTS
Of Customers at the Great Cloth
ing Sale at Augusta.

Well known citizen of Augusta says: 81
saw one of my neighbors wearing pair OF
your So 90 trousers. He is good Judge Of
goods as he. has been in the business. He
says that they are big trade 50 I have
come after pair-thought it was an easy
way to save dollar"
Prominent business man on Water street
buying one of the suits said, "This suit
looks to me like bargain, cannot see any
difference between it and suits l have paid
500. 90 for, Git was one of the $3.50 which
usually sells for $4,000 at any rate I have
dealt with you for good many years and
know when you make statement regard
ing yonr goods it is sure to be so.'
Well known resident of Manchester comes
in with a man who wishes to look at the
suits. Both purchase suits and one of them
returns the next day with friend who also
purchases suit.
Farmer from Windsor says: II come
here to purchase clothing because 1 know
that if there is any cotton in the goods you
will say so and as am not good judge of
clothing know that / can depend on your
advice in making selection"
Another Manchester farmer said "Well,
if you say that is the suit of clothes l had
better buy l shall buy it; you know that l
al ways want good article and as have
traded with you for over twenty years and
always found things as represented, I feel
safe in taking your advice" aa, g.
The above remarks were actual occur
rences and we can give the names of the
parties to those who care to inquire. When
we first announced this clothing sale we
said that ''the goods were offered us SO
cheap that we could not afford to pass them
and that we should offer them so cheap that
the public could not afford to pass them. I"
We have proved our statement.
Remember that these are high grade
goods elegantly made and trimmed and that
we are selling them at low grade prices.
This is clothing sale that no one who
studies economy can afford to neglect.
