BROWNSBURG, Ind, Oct. 27.-The Re-
publicans had one of the biggest meetings
here to-day of any held in Hendricks coun-
~ this campaign. Although Chairman J.
F. Lingeman had only four days to adver-
tise it, he was e%nterprising, and for miles
around the people poured in until there
were fully one thousand in town. Delega-
tons came from Danville with the Dam

township. When IL came time for Alfred
Walters, OF Pittsboro. to introduce the
speaker, Patrick j.. Kelleher, of ~Indianap-
Oils, about seven hundred were packed in
the little Town Hall, and several hundred
were unable TO get in. The meeting was a
wonderful contrast to that of Democrat
Judge Cunning, who spoke here recently to
about fifty people. 1t was the first Repub-
lican meeting held here, and goes 20 show
the great enthusiasm in this section. The
Democrats have had only handfuls out at

When Congressman Cooper spoke near here
he had only a little over fifty hearers. Mr..
Kelleher to-day made a great effort, and
his speech fully repaid the people for their
big turCout. Thomas Seery, of Indianap-
oils, was present and sang a number Of
songs that enthused the crowd.

favorite beverage of the people is cof-
fee, largely mixed with chicory; indeed,
the coffee pot is almost always kept in
readiness on a hob at the corner of the
fire. Another drink in common use is
an calculated small beer called kalja j;
but on special occasions, as at mar
riages or funerals, a stronger beer is
consumed.
In the country districts and at the
coast salt fish is more frequently eaten
than meat; butter is not much used.
and still less cheese, although a large
quantity of good cheese is exported
from the country to other markets.
The most important food plant in the
country is rye, and next in order come
potatoes. Barly and oats are less COM
mon. Wheat is considered a delicacy.
and wheaton bread is used chiefly by
the better classes, with tea or coffee.
The country does not produce enough
cereals for it's own consumption.
Altogether the nourishment of the
people is simple and inexpensive: so
also is their clothing. The country
clergy are often paid in rye in winter
and butter in summer, commodities
which, of course, they sell when the
supply exceeds their own necessities.
Small tenants not infrequently pay
their rents by so many days labor
given to the landlords. Although Fin
land occupies an area almost equal to
England, Scotland, Ireland, the Neither
lands and Belgium together, so much
is covered by water that it has in many
parts the appearance of an immense
archipelago, sparsely populated and
with imperfect means of intercommun-
ication. Many of the intersecting
canals are largely used for floating cut
timber from the forests to the markets.

He says almost the whole of Boise val

While Mr.. Jennings was in Boise the
Statesman reporter conjured up the fol-
lowing:
~. E. Jennings, ex-secretary of the
Lehi, Utah, Sugar company, is a guest
at the Overland. Mr.. Jennings is here
on business which may result in the
establishment of a sugar factory near
this city. Some time ago the Lehi peo-
pie secured large tract of land be-
tween Boise and Nampa with that end
in view, but, for various reasons, the
project was temporarily abandoned.
The peculiar adaptability of the soil
and climate of this section for the cul-
ture of the sugar beet was not lost
sight of, however, and the Lehi COM
pany is once more looking over the
field.
The reports of experts show that the
soil and the climatic conditions of Ida
no are second to those OF no other state
or territory in the west for the raising
of sugar beets. This is a most f1atter-
ing recognition. when the wonderful
productiveness of Utah soil is consid-
cred.
Mr.. Jennings says the sugar beet crop
in Utah is heavier and better than it
has been in the history of the Lehi en-
terprise. The beets are of eXtraordi-
nary size and contain an unusually
high percentage of saccharine matter

TESTED ON THE DEAD.
The New Army Rifle Tested on ca
davers to Determine It's Effects.
from the Washing Post

Experiments have been made on
dead bodies by Lieutenant Lincoln
Karmay to determine the effect of the
new small cahbre rifle bullet, driven
by smokeless powder on the bones and
tissues of the human body. The lieu
tenant, in his report to the naval in
telligence office resolves his results into
two groups-those from so to 200 yards,
and those from 800 to 1000 yards.
I The first group comprises those in
juries which, when a bone is struck, re-
semble in appearance those of an ex-
plosive character; the part is always
pounded, fragments are frequently car
ried out through the wound of exit,
which is commonly converted into a
gaping orifice; the muscles are pulped.
and. in fact, the limb mangled and
damaged beyond repair. If the bull
let simply passes through muscle it
practically creates no damage of any
! importance unless it strikes an artery,
which. large or small, are cut as with
knife, causing hemorrhage; but, be-
cause of the small size of the bullet,
the blood vessels and nerves stand a
better chance of escape than they did
with the larger bullet. If a savage
were hit in the f1eshy part of the
could not be expected to have any
stopping effect on him unless the
main artery of the limb were opened,
and even in this condition he could
travel some distance before falling; but
let the man be hit on any of the long
bones of the leg and his progress is at
an end. On the other hand. If he were
hit in the upper extremity there would
probably be nothing to stop him in a
smashed shoulder or a pulped elbow,
because, like the horse, he apparently
does not suffer from the shock. and
he still has the use of pair of legs
and an upper extremity: or if he were
shot through the chest by a bullet no
larger than pencil it goes clean
through him, touches, we will say,
nothing of vital Importance, and he
remains a dangerous man for some
time to come.
In savage rushes the lower extremi-
ties should be the target aimed at; no
man can travel with one of the bones
of his legs in fragments. In dealing
with a civilized foe the shock of SIM
pie flesh wound would probably be
enough for most men, and afford them
a good excuse for leaving the fighting
line, and certainly non-fatal wounds in
the chest would cause a gap in the
ranks. The question of shock is, there
fore. infinitely more urgent than the
wound.
In considering the nature OF the IN
juries inflicted on bones at distances
between 300 and 1000 yards, it is clear
that they have tendency to resolve
themselves into comminuted fractures
and pulverizing of the resisted parts of
bones. and comparatively clean holes
in the non-resisting regions, such as
the extremities of the bones, it is evil
dent that a wound near joint may be
much less dangerous than one some
distance from it. which is in reality
surgical paradox

There is an old saying to the effect

SPORTING A CRIMINAL.

From The Nineteenth Century,
The system, which was invented by
M. Bertillon, consists in recording the
measurement of divers bony parts of
the human frame-parts which do not
alter with any change which age or &C
cident or device may make in the mus
cular tissue and are not affected by
the subsequent thinness or corpulence
of an individual. These measurements
are: Full height, height when sitting,
length and breadth of the skull, length
of middle and little fingers of left hand,
length of left fore arm and foot and
full stretch of the arms; the length
and width of right ear, the color of the
hair and eyes. and any scars, moles,
etc, on hands, arms, face and bust are
also accurately recorded. With these
data NJ. Bertillon is able to establish
the identity of any criminal who has
been through his hands.
The way in which he accomplishes
this is ingenious and merits some ex-
PLANTATION. He divides each measure
ment into three classes-the large, the
medium, and the small. We will sup
pose that he has 10000 sets of measure
ments before him to classify. He COM
mences by the length of the head,
selecting that measurement because the
measurer cannot be deceived, as he
might be in taking the full height of
the body. By this means he is enabled
to reduce the 10000 into three cate
gories of about 10000 each.
The width Of the head is treated in
the same manner and the classes are
reduced to 10000 each with broad, med
ium, or narrow skulls. The length of
the middle finger provides another di-
visor, and further reduces each class
to $500. By the length of the left foot
the divisions are brought down to about
LOO each, and the length of the fore
arm reduces them to less than 400 each.
The original 10000 has thus been di-
vided into 243 groups, each containing
between 300 and 400. This number is
still too large for working purposes,
and so the 400 persons are divided into
three more classes, Of about 40 each,
according az they are tall, short, or of
medium height.
The length of the little finger will
further reduce this to lots of less than
80 each, and, finally, by the color of
the eyes, of which NJ. Bertillon dis
tinguishes seven varieties, the classes
are brought to parcels which should
average about z each, but which in
reality vary from 8 to 20, some colors
being more frequent than others. This
completes the particulars used for
classification. but, in order to eliminate
even the Temotest chance of error.
there are added the length and width
of the right ear-which form valuable
Indication the height when sitting,
and the full stretch of the arms.

EGYPTIAN GEOMETRY.

The Ahmes papyrus doubtless repre-
sents the most advanced attainments OF
the Egyptians in arithmetic and geo
Inetry. 1t is remarkable that they
should have reached so great proficiency
in mathematics at so remote a period of
antiquity. But strange indeed Is the fact
that, during the next 1900 years, they
should have made no progress whatever
in It.
All the knowledge of geometry which
they possessed when Greek scholars
visited them. six centuries B. c.. was
doubtless known to them 2,000 years ear
lier. when they built those sJupeudous
and gigantic structures. the pyra mids.
An explanation for this StagnatiOn OF
learning has been sought in the fact that
their early discoveries in. mathematics
and medicines, had the misfortune OF
being entered upon their sacred books.
and that, in after ages. il was considered
heretical to augment or modify anything
therein. Thus the books themselves
closed the gates to progress.-History OF

the mines in the west closed down,
and the merchants brought their goods
to Salt Lake city and the result was
that buildings on Main street which
formerly rented for IS per month went
up to $40 1t was then that Morris
Brothers removed from Main street and
built a store on State street and Sec
ond South on the corner, which was
known as 1.-THE Farmers Market" the
first business house on that street, then
known as State road
1t was from this building that Mon
tana and Idaho freighters loaded a
great portion Of the produce of the
country, which found it's way to those
markets which had just opened up.
In this store quite a business was car
ried on in the supplies and arms that
were sold at Camp Floyd, among which
may be mentioned the canned vegeta-
lbles, put up in France for the army,
which came in very handy for the over
land travellers of that day. The arms
that were burnt before the MormonS
were allowed to buy them, were after
wards repaired and exchanged in this
store with the farmers in Sanpete for
their farm products and through this
means the farmers were supplied with
arms to defend themselves and families
during the BLACK Hawk war"
In Connection with this store, Morris
Brothers had a tannery, the leather of
which was manufactured here into
harnesses, saddles, boots and shoes.
Richard Morris is now one of the most
substantial of southern Utah's business
men and to his efforts is due a great
deal of the credit for the upbuilding of
Utah's Dixie. He has resided in st.
George twenty-seven years but still re-
tains part of his Salt Lake property.

JUMPING HURDLES.
TFrom the Fortnightly Review

ltrom the FortnlSntly KeNlsW.l
In jumping hurdles the one thing
which is imperative Is not - jump
them. Hurdle racing has become en-
tirely an artificial spoct. IL was dis
covered that by taking OF from one foot
and landing on the other. and by COW
ering the ten yards between each hur-
die in three strides, the HURDLES could
be run over instead of jumped. and il
was also discovered that the man who
couldn't perform this acrobatic feat was
not in the same hunt with the man who
could. A long jumper with a turn of
speed has a much better chance Of be-
coming a good hurdler than high
jumper. 1t IS a pastime which re-
quires much practice. You must harden
your shins and keep as near to the top
bar as you can. If you are clearing the
hurdles by too much you must practice
leaving part of the skin of your leg on
the top bar.
A famous hurdle racer. II. *. Upcher

hardly call it the clearing. of hurdles to

the habit of humping each hurdle in
practice to make sure he was not going
too high. and of going through the top
rail when it was movable, and some
times when it was not, in order to be
quite certain that there was. nothing
unnecessary to spare.
