New Horrors in Store.

a French inventor has partly atoned
for the invention of the piano by con-
structing an ingenious coatrivance
which is fitted under the keyboard, SO
that sewing is done while sounds,
musical or otherwise, are pounded out
of the innocent wires. This invention
will have its disadvantages in thickly-
populated communities. Hereafter it
will not be a question of how many
sewing machines are run in a cloak
factory, but how many pianos. Musical
talent will be at a premium when it is
generally known that the Russian
hymn will sew baby's frock, that a
waltz in Faust will run up a flannel
vest, the intermezzo of ''Cavalleria
Rusticana" Will turn out a complete
suit, and the Battle of Prague" not

Researches I'm the Air.

The air of a meeting-room, tested in
different places and at different times
during the progress of the meeting,
showed numbers of micro-organisms
varying from 1875, 900 to $500, 600. The
air near the ground contained fewer
than the air near the ceiling. For ex-
ample. the air some four feet from the
ground contained 10000 before the
meeting and at the end of the meeting
400, 600, while near the ceiling the
amount at the beginning of the meet
ing was 10000 and at the end of
the meeting this had been increased to
100000. Air near burning jet of gas
showed the largest figures of all. Thus,
in the immediate vicinity of bunsen
fame the gigantic number of 1000, 600
was found in a cubic centimeter. or
4s9. OOO 600 per cubic inch. In Mr.. Ait
kin's own words: at does seem strange
that there may be as many dust par
ticles in one cubic inch of air of room
at night when the gas is burning as
there are inhabitants in Great Britain:
and that in three cubic inches of gases
from bunsen fame there are as many
particles as there are inha bitants of
the world" Possibly tests on the air
of smoking rooms would reveal still
greater numbers. Mr.. Aitken has not
yet tested such air, but he found that
a cigarette smoker sends 1000, 900, 900
particles, more or less, into the air
with every puff he makes.-Gentle-

The Rock Island Road Making Arrange
ments to Conduct Further Experiments
in That Line.
TOPEKA, Kan, April s.-The Chicago.
Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Co. has
apparently not lost confidence in the
ultimate successful demonstration of
the rain making theories of Clayton B.
Jewell. who has been conducting ex-
periments throughout the arid belt in
the west for three years. Last year
the company fitted up three cars with
complete laboratories designed for
coaxing moisture from the clouds. The
campaign met with Indifferent success
and the repeated failures reported at
the close of the season shook public
confidence in the success of the ven-
ture. The Rock Island officers, how
ever, appear to have faith in the the
DRY, for they have ordered the con-
struction of three additional cars at
their shops in Holton. that will be put
into service together with the three
that were in commission last season,
making total of six. The company
has interested the department of agri-
culture at Washington in the enter
prise to the extent that agents of the
department will be sent out with the
Kansas rainmaker this season to give
the rain making method a thorough
scientific investigation with a view to
determining whether it is possessed of
any actual merit.

Pile were horror struck where they

muzzle of the revolver between his
teeth and fired a bullet through the
roof of his mouth into his brains. He
fell near her and husband and wife
died side by side. almost in each others
arms, inside of two minutes from
the firing of the first shot. AT
the sight of the bloody tragedy two OF
three women tainted and terrible ex.
citement prevailed. A frightened man
turned in a fire alarm which brought
the department to the scene adding to
the excitement. When Mrs. Scott was
shot she was leaning on the arm of her
brother.

Why nrunkards See Double.

The reason that a man sees double
who has gazed too long on the wine
when it is red is that the nerve centers
are changed by the action of the alco-
holic poison. There is a want of har-
nony in the action of the muscles
which move the eyeballs Conse-
quently, instead of both eyes being
focused simultaneously on an object,
one eye receives an impression indie
pendently of the other. The two i'm
pressions are communicated to the
brain and the object is therefore seen
twice. The infamed condition of and
loss of energy in the brain centers
from ovsrdoses OF alcohol also account
for the staggering gait of an intoxi-
Gated mann. Y. World.

Johnston and Secretary Moore, of the

as their opinion that the mysterious
cattle disease which prevails in differ

A YOUNG GIRLS TRIALS.
Nervous Troubles End In st. vi

Physicians Powerless-The Story Told by
the Chud's Mother.
From the Reporter, Somerset, XVI

from the Reporter. Somerset Ry1
Among the foot hills of the Cumberlan d
Mountains, near the town of Flat Rock is
the happy home of James McPherrou.
Four months ago the daughter of the fam
ily, a happy girl of sixteen, was stricken
with st. Vitus' dance. The leading physi-
clans were consulted but without avail. She
grew pale and thin under the terrible nerv-
Gus strain and was fast losing her mental
powers. In fact the thought Of placing her
in an asylum was seriously considered. Her
case has been so widely talked about that
the report of her cure was like undermining
a miracle of old. To a reporter who visited
the home the mother said:
eyes, the reports Of my daughters sick
ness and cure are true as you hear them.
Her affection grew into st. Vitus' dance
from an aggravated form of weakness and
nervous trouble peculiar to her sex. Every
source of help was followed to the end, but
il seemed that physicians and medicine were
powerless. Day by day she grew worse IN
til we despaired of her life. At times she al
most went into commissions. She got so that
we had TO watch her to keep her from wan
dering away and you can imagine the care
she was.

THE LABOR BUREAU.
szstch of the Men Who VIII Furnish Labor
Statistics for the Next Two Years.


Statistics for the Next Two Years.
In noticing the appointment of Mr..
William G. Bird, of Wyandotte county,
as commissioner of labor statistics, the
Wichita Eagle recently referred to him
''as power of great significance in his
relations to labor, having been con-
nected with labor organizations for
several years. He is young man, and
upon the rising Young men depends
the progress of advanced principles
and civilization. He is represented as
a very active, earnest man in anything
he undertakes, knowing no such word
as fail. His first official act was the
appointment of Mr.. John Speer as his
chief clerk. We have known him (Nir.
Speer) as uniform advocate of labor
interests and member of the Typo
graphical union, always sustaining the
union and on the other hand the union
was always fair with him."
The Eagle halls the appointment of
Mr.. Speer as an evidence of the good
judgment of the new labor commits
sioner and his knowledge of men, as
probably no man in the state has bet
ter knowledge of the working people,
nor is truer to their interests than is
Mr.. Birds assistant
In this connection it may be proper
to remark that Mr.. Speer is a veteran
editor and pioneer newspaper pub
Usher. He was one of the early set
tiers in Kansas, locating in Law
renee soon after the organization of
the territory, where he established the
Kansas Tribune, and conducted it with
great spirit and ability through times
that tried mems souls" His vigorous
pen was ever welded on the side of
freedom and in favor of the oppressed.
The laboring men always found in him
an ardent friend. Himself a prac-
teal printer he drew others of his
family into the same field, no less than
five of his own family and seven or
eight of his relatives being printers.
Mr.. Speer has filed many honorable
positions in the state and Labor Com
missioner Bird in selecting him for an
assistant has not only appointed a ca
pable man, and one who is entitled to
party recognition, but the appoint
ment will meet with favor generally

SAN Francisco. April s. Carlo En-

was married last night to Miss Woolfe,
and after the ceremony the bride and
groom repaired to the Palace hotel,
where they were assigned a room.
They did not appear in the morning,
and at noon a servant, becoming
alarmed, notified other attaches, who
forced open the door. Both Sarita and
his bride were found dead in bed. The
husband had shot his bride to death
and then committed suicide. No ex-

NO UNEQUAL TAXATION.
The Kansas Supreme Court Holds That
Railroads Must BE Fairly Treated.

TOPEKA, Kan, April s.-The supreme
court to-day handed down a decision
holding that railroad property must
not be assessed at a greater valuation
on the dollar than any other class of
property and that an injunction would
lie to restrain the collection of tax on
an excess valuation. In 1893 the board
of assessors of Atchison county agreed
that all property except railroad prop
erty should be assessed at - per cent. of
its actual value. The tax levy was made
accordingly and the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy, whose property had
been assessed higher than - per cent.
by the state board of railroad assessors,
refused to pay county taxes on more
than % per cent. The court below re-
fused to enjoin the county treasurer
and the company carried the case to
the supreme court, which by this de-
cision sustained the railroads position.

CATION of the scandals charged against
the Topeka hospital for the insane,
while it will be expensive, may lead to
some suggestions of value. A member
of the committee said to-day that
root of the evil was the mileage au-
thorized by the law. Take away that
provision of the law and positions on
the state board of charitable in
situations would not be regarded
as political spoils- Only men of
ample means would accept the
responsibilities of the place and the
governor would be free to make his
own selections unaided by the politi-
clans The spirit of the law creating
the board, he said, was that its places
should be more of honor than of profit.
