The Work Is Done (9)

The engine of the rock crusher has
been hauled away and housed, and that
ends the street Improvement. There is
general complaint that the paving is
left in an unfinished state-that the big
rocks which cover the surface are con-
tinually laming horses hoofs. 1t will
be years before these rocks can be worn
down by ordinary travel, and in the
summer time this street will be avoided.
Along beaten track the road is little
better, but this is sbecause the larger
rocks have been displaced, and when
teams meet, one must pull out into a
mass of large loose rocks, which will be
a perpetual annoyance for many years.
Whatever is worth doing at all is worth
doing we'll, and this is especially appli-
cable to this street. The trouble would
be obviated by a top dressing of fine
rock, like the sample of road first made
on Union street, which is today perfect.

these germs is the wind, but it would be
a wise preeaution, nevertheless, to throw

gational Sunday school recently offered
a reward to any pupil who would COM

COMMITTED MAYHEM.
Omcer j. b. Harper Seriously Bites
Conductor Rice.

Saturday night deplorable event
which Mike Rice, a freight conductor on
the Union Pacific, became disfgured for
life by having the end of his nose bit off
and thumb chewed by Night Watch
man J. B. Harper.
After the soiree at the Armory hall,
Rice and his wife, with some other ladies',
started homeward, passing Bakers
ing in the saloon, and prevailed upon
his wife to go home without him, saying
he would join her in short time. He
went in the saloon and soon after Har-
per entered. A discussion arose between
them as to party who had voted at
both primaries. Harperis is unfortunately
possessed of an ungovernable temper
and besides was partially intoxicated,
and he struck at Rice. Both clinched
and Harper got Rice's thumb in his
teeth, chewing it and larcerating it fear
fully. In the heat of the moment Rice
did not realize the extent of his injury.
Overtures for peace were made by Har-
PSA, anu AhANO PAOAl1AGOo W ACo hAAh UP IL
he would not modest him farther. The
promise was apparently not sincere on
Harper's part, for as soon as he was re-
leased he made snap at Rice's nose,
severing the end of it, and splitting it
out. Harper then quickly left the room
and has not been heard of since.
Both men have wives and children,
which makes the affair doubly unfor-
tlnate. Public opinion is all on the side
of Rice, as tbs conceded Harper began
the trouble and committed the crime
without provocation. His badge of
officer prevented Rice from dealing with
him more severely.
Today Rice is at home, attending to
the injured portions of his anatomy.
DIR. Hollister was called who rendered
the necessary medical assistance.

Stole a March ON the Old Folks.

Mary Hurst is the name of girl of Is
years, who was married Saturday night
to young man named VIM. Jordan in
The Dalles. Miss Hurst, or Mrs. Jordan
now, is the granddaughter of Mr.. James
Hurst, of 15-Mile. He, with the mother
of the child. is in town today, investigat-
ing the circumstances of the marriage.
It appears there is something wrong
with the testimony before the county
clerk, married under false pretenses, as
it were. 1t was represented that the
girl was without parent and unable to
paddle her own canoe. However, all is
fair in love and war, and now that the
couple are married, it is perhaps best to
let the matter rest.

SIGHT IN EARTHwoRMs.
Senses Possessed by the Supposedly Sense
less Creatures.

Senses Possessed by the Supposedly Sense
less Creatures.
James Weir, Jr., in a curious little
study in evolution, shows that all the
five senses of man are found in the
lower forms of animal life. Darwin,
while admitting that earthworms are
sensible to light. maintains that they
are blind. Weir, in the North Ameri-
can Review, maintains the contrary.
He says that the circumscribed spots
on the dorsal surface of the worm are
primitive eyes. The microscope re-
yeals in these spots transparent MEM
brane, an accumulation of pigmentary
matter, special nerve spread out in
this matter and extending to the CEN
tral nerve structure. The membrane
is the cornea, the pigmentary matter a
retina, and the special nerve an optic
nerve. As there is no lens the worm
can distinguish only light and dark
ness. The arrangements for the sense
of touch are not materially different
from those in man. The sense which
they are without is that of hearing,
but sound waves are conveyed to the
sensorium through the sense of touch.
That worms have taste and smell can
be proved by experiments with food.
AS to smell, put musk near them and
it is amusing to see them hunting their
holes to escape it. 'The nerves OF
taste and smell are blended together,
and can readily be made out with the
microscope in the lips, so to speak. of
the oral pouch"

Dancing For Prizes.

ably filed Saturday night by the many
people who attended the soiree.
1t was the prize dance, and eight couples
of the class competed for them. The
judges were Capt. Sherman, J.. E.
Grove and Douglas Dufur. They
claimed it was hard to make the decision,
but finally decided to award the ladies
queen chain to Miss Emma Fisher and
the sleeve buttons to Claude Mccoy.
The decision gave general satisfaction.

The defense made fiat denial, but little

Tha Weakest snat

In your whole system, perhaps is the
liver If that doesn't do its work of
purifying the blood, more troubles come
from it than you can remember.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
acts upon this weak spot as nothing else
can. 1t rouses 1t up to healthy, natural
action. By thoroughly purifying the
blood, it reaches, builds up, and invigor-
ates every part OF the system.
For diseases that depend on the liver
or the blood-dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness; every form of scrofula,
even consumption Cor lung-scrofula) in
it's earlier stages and the most stubborn
skin and scalp diseases, the Discovery"
is the only remedy so unfailing and eff
fective that it can be guaranteed.
If it doesn't benefit or cure, you have

for Yesterdays Trouble
Dies MONIES, May 2.-Kelly's indus
trial army made no visible progress
toward the national capitol today, in
dulging instead in the national game.
Kelly's Industrial nine made its first ap-
pearance on the diamond crossing bats
with the Des Moines Stars. twenty
five cents admission was charged
and a good sized crowd attended.
nelly stripped off his coat and shoulder
straps and played first base. He coached
his men and pounded the elusive curves
of the Des Moines pitcher in a very sat
isfactory manner. The general showed
himself a very fair player and shouted
and sprinted with all the energy of a,pro-
fessional. The gate receipts were turned
over to the industrials.
Kelly was still indignant today over
Coxey's clash with the Washington au-
thorities, and placed all the blame with
the ommOnwealers. He said Carl
Browne was an ass; declared that Coxey
showed no generalship, and declared
that the Industrial army would have no
such trouble when it arrived in Wash
ingtOn-
The offer of the Great Western
railroad to carry the men to
Vanwert for 81 per head was
Withdrawn today and the action has
further incensed the labor organizations.
They claim that the refusal is another
evidence that the railroads have COM
bined against Kelly and are forcing
the minor lines to follow their example.
General Master Workman Sovereign,
of the Knights of Labor, said mysterious
ly today, that he was in possession
of highly important information, but alb
solutely refused to reveal its nature,
and it was rumored that he had received
encouragement from President Debs of
the American Railway Union and that
the latter would be in Des Moines soon.

"YOU MAY GO HOME. !.

So Says Gov. Lewelling to Graoian Gle
board Convicted Murder.
The governor today in response to the
recommendation of the state board of
pardons, granted a full and uncondi-
tional pardon TO Gracian CIeboard of
Rawlins county.
Cleboard is young man and was SEN
fenced to 80 years in the state peniten-
tiary in March, 1899, for murder ia the
second degree.
He was convicted of poisoning his lit
tie brother. The boy died after eating
apples and it was thought that the poison
had been put into the fruit An investi-
cation showed that Cleboard had bought
strychnine ten months before to poison
squirrels but had thrown the bottle away
and it was found in pool of water with
a boys tracks near by just after the
child's death. The evidence presented
before the board of pardons went to
show that the boy had taken the poison
himself, either Intentionally or by acci-
dent
The attorney who defended him set up
the defense that the boy was not pois-
oned, but poison was found by analysis
in his stomach and as no other defense
was made, the jury found Cleboard
guilty.
He has been in the prison hospital at
Lansing for nearly two years and but
little hopes are entertained of his re-
covery. No protest to granting the par
don was filed. The pardon was secured
by j. W. Morphy of the secretary of
states office.
Jacob Buckner has also been pardoned
