"AN ATTRACTION PARTICLE"
Interesting Disclosures Made at the Goa
ventIOn of the British Association.

Interesting Disclosures Made at the Coz
ventIOn Of the British Association.
The annual disclosure of the latest
discoveries in various branches at science
being made at the convention of the
British association, Oxford, is an inter-
esting budget. Lord Salisbury's address
at the opening Of the conference at
tracts widespread attention. He pro-
claimed himself a scientific agnostic,
but the most remarkable feature of his
paper was his outlining of the marvels
Of unsolved problems to which modern
science is now devoting itself. He paid
a sympathetic tribute to Darwin's great
work, but refused to acknowledge the
jellyfish as his ancestor on any evidence
| yet offered. He attacked Weissmann's
theory of natural selection in evolution
and affirmed that the present day has
brought q return to the belief that crea-
tive design was supreme.
1t has been in these meetings of the
several divisions of the convention that
the latest discoveries and theories have
been presented. A year ago the biolo-
gists, who had believed for years that
they were on the point of solving the
mystery Of life, acknowledged them
selves baff1ed. Now Professor Schaefer,
president of the section of physiology.
announces the discovery in each tiny
animal cell containing life of what he
terms AN attraction particle. " Ltshould
be remembered that when the biologists
discovered the cell principle of life they
thought it impossible to subdivide these
infinitely small atoms, but the micro
| scope has shown the existence of this
small particle in each cell, which is
itself a structure sui generis, having a
definite existence and a definite function
of its own. 1t is almost as minute an
object as it is possible to conceive. In
a cell which is magnified l, 600 dame
tiers the central particle appears merely
of the size of a pin point. Yet this al
most infinitely small object exerts an
extraordinary influence over the whole
cell, which may be many thousand times
its size. 1t initiates and directs those
processes which result in the multipli-
cation of cells, and indirectly therefore
it is concerned in directing the general
growth of the individual and ultimate
~ the propagation of species. IL il
shown, then, that the principle Of life
is contained in a particle /, 900 times
smaller than the smallest object which
the best microscopes of few years ago
were able to perceive. and the latest
name for the ~unsolved mystery Of life
is IAN attraction particle. New York

BALE NOT WELL MET,
MIstaking Him for Tramp Superintendent
Hartman Gives Him "a Licking.

Superintendent George Hartman of the
middle division of the Santa Fe, makes no
pretensions to be fighter but Hale
Cowley thinks that Corbett is not cir.
cumstance to him when it comes to hitting
with the fist.
Hale had some Florida lands to sell for
Mr.. Hartman and last Sunday night he
received word that they had been sold. 1t
was good news and Mr.. Cowley didn't
have the patience to wait till
Monday morning to convey 1t to Mr..
Hartman, so he went up to his house
about II o'clock that night. The jingle
of the bell brought Mr.. Hartman to the
door and he opened it, As he opened the
door Mr.. Cowley pushed himself in to get
out Of the cold as quick as possible. This
seemingly undue eagerness to get in
aroused suspicion in Mr.. Hsrtman's
MUD that Hale, whom be could not see
very well. was one. of Lewelling's
tramps, SO be pulled back his
good right arm. shot it forward
aud landed it squarely between Cowley's S
eyes causing him to see stars that were
never yet seen through the Lick telescope.
Hale regained his feet and called Mr..
Hartman's attention to the fact that that
was new way OF welcoming friend.
just then Mr.. Hartman recognized Mr..
Cowley, explanations followed and every
thing was satisfactorily understood.

TO DEATH
POND CREEK GREATLY EXCITED
OVER SUSPICIOUS CHARACTERS.
Telegram Received Here Asking the
Rock Island for Armed Hen-Thc
Strangers Supposed to be tue
Mysterious Men W no We're
at Purcell Thursday.

s'Sena down some armed men quick"
Tnat was, in substance, the message
that was received here last evening by
Rock Island officials.
1t was TOO late, however, as the train
had left aud there was no meaus of send
ing any men down. It is probable, how
ever, that good stout band of deputies
Was organized ut Caldwell and shipped
from there
Upon further inquiry the cause of the
excitement at Pond Creek was learned to
be a Maupin gang scare
Late in the afternoon four heavily armed
men were seen near town. Some of them
were recognized as desperadoes, aud fears
at once spread throughout the village that
u raid was to be made. 1t was on account
of this that aid was asked by the citizens.
The four men are supposed 20 be the
Maupin gang and the same men who
brought the body of young man to Pur-
cell under mysterious circumstances two
days before.
Passengers who came up last night
said that when the train passed
Pond Creek the citizens were
very much alarmed and seemed to be ex-
pecting trouble every moment. Some of
them were well armed for defense and
promised to make good stand, but law
abiding citizens are no match for an or.
ganized band of criminals when it comes
to making rough and tumble fight with
Winchester rifles. A message was sent
down there at 10 o'clock last night for
later particulars but the operator could
not be found

PUSHING 1T THROUGH.
The Mattox Case Progressing Very Rapidly.

!
The Clyde Mattox case is progressing
! rapidly, and the evidence will probably be
all in today.
| While the defense is putting on its wit
nesses the government has reserved the
right to put on another witness who has
not yet arrived, although deputy mar
shall went after him several days ago.
The defense is introducing nothing new;
| the evidence they are submitting is for
the purpose of weakening or impeachiDg
the evidence submitted by the govern
| ment.
| One of the witnesses introduced at the
night session last night was Mrs. Carr of
| Oklahoma City. Mrs. Carr is milliner
down in that city. and, as milliners are
supposed to know a great deal more than
other ladies, good deal was expected
from her, and when she went on the stand
everybody craned their necks to hear what
she had to say.
Mrs. Carr admitted that she was a friend
to Mrs. Hatch, MattoX's mother, and that
she took more than usual interest in the
Case for that reason. She testified that
Annie Whitman told her that herself aud
her husband were in bed when the shoot
ing of Mullen was heard, and that is about
all Mrs. Carr knew of any conse-
ouence to the trial. Annie Whitman
swore Yesterday that she and her husband
Tom were standing by when Mullen was
killed.
when the coal black eyes of United
States Attorney Perry rested on Mrs.
Carr. she dropped her eyelashes little
and looked at the tip of her shoe for mo-
ment.

and was evidently glad of it, for the at
mosphere was pretty close and warm in
there at that time.

but their testimony did not seem 10 be
very material.

ing in the schools of West Virginia and
Washington county. Pennsylvania. Her
marriage to John Kelley took place in the
year 1854 in Pennsylvania, the native state
of her husband. After one year spent in
that state, they moved to Illinois, where
they lived for nearly twenty years, coming
thence to Kansas in 1898. Upon a farm
several miles west Of Wichita they resided
for sixteen years, when her failing health
caused them to move to this city. in order
that she might have greater freedom from
care. But her health continued 10 fail
gradually, until she fell asleep. peacefully,
lust as the sun was rising upon a new
year.
When IS years OF age she eonsecrated
her life to her Savior and made a public
profession of her faith, at that time unit
ing with the Presbyterian church. Where
ever she has lived the exemplary Christian
life has been shown by word and deed. In

FOOD FOR THE FAMisHED.
The Eagle and the Salvation Army.

tied to participate by dipping in.
1t is this way. The EAGLE has several
times made reference to the economical,
effective and discriminating manner in
which the Salvation Army, in many cities
with food. We have also been calling at
tention to the work of barracks
here in Wichita. The Salvation
Army as everybody knows, aud as they do
not themselves deny, are poor, and being
so they know who else are poor. They
cannot be imposed upon even if anybody
should want to do so. A young business
man. having sized up the situation, and
also his own pocket book, writes the ed
itor of the EAGLE q nice note enclosing s.,
with the suggestion that ne will seud US
that much every week il the EAGLE will
become the public custodian of like DOM
tions to be- turned over by it to the Saliva
ton Army's soup house. While the EAGLE
has its hands full we don't see how we are
to dodge the responsibility OF an act that
may make glad many heart. We will
do it.
Ho! ye, now therefore that want to re-
lieve your conscience, aud ali ye who de-
sire to lay up "a little treasure where hard
times can't gee at it, here's your chance.
Send in your nickels, dimes, and quarters.
etc, or leave them at the counting room
and the EAGLE will acknowledge the re-
ceipt through these local columns daily,
giving the name and amount contributed
by each every time, guaranteeing that the
receipt of the captain and purser of the
Salvation army shall balance the sum
total received without cost or
trouble. We will have but eight

by its voice and influence to raise has gone
into the hands of the Humane society
whose officers have promised to conscien-
tiously expend the same for the relief of
those with whom they are in touch Now
