ALL EYES ARE TURNED ON UTAH.
Democrats May Control the National Senate if
 They Get the State.

Washington Special Chicago Record
 November elections in Utah are at tracing considerable attention, as the control of the United States senate de- bends to a great extent upon the two votes Utah will have when she becomes state. The republicans have today forty-two members of the United States senate and will have forty-three if Du- pont is seated. The democrats have thirty-seven certainly, and forty if Irby, Tillman and Butler vote with them. The populists have five, or with Irby, Tillman and Butler will have eight. When the two Utah members are seated the total membership of the senate will be ninety. Should the two senators be republicans and Dupont is seated the republicans will have just exactly one-half of the membership. and If Jones of Nevada votes with them on party questions gen erally they will have majority. If the Utah senators are democratic a combination of thirty-nine democrats with the populiStS, most of whom are in- clined to cooperate with the democrats, would give that party control and would enable it to block any party legislation which the republican house might send to the senate during the existence of the next congress. The new Utah senators will not be populists, but will surely fa- vor the free coinage of silver
 The women of Utah, who had a vote until diSfranchdsed for the purpose of suppressing polygamy, are making des- perate efforts to recover their suffrage and participate in the November cleo tions. The new constitution, which will then come up for adoption, provides for female suffrage, and logically this priv ilege could not be conferred by the con stitution until after it is formally ac- cepted; but the women of Utah are mak- ing a fight in thecourts to become pos sessed of the right of suffrage imme- diately, and. strange to say, one United States court has decided that the woman suffrage provision in the constitution be- comes operative before the constitution is adopted The case has been carried to the highest court of the territory, as no one in Utah wants the admission of the territory as a state in the union delayed by what may hereafter be de- cided an irregularity At the last elec- tion in Utah the vote of the state was 21, 900 republicans. 19,000 democrats and about 300 popuhsts. With the women's vote the democrats hope to overcome this majority and carry the stnte for the state ticket, legislature and representa- tiVeS in congress. -..a.

louoesr NOISE EVER AeAae. 4
It Was Caused by a Volcano and wss Heard Thousands of Miles Away.

No thunder from the skies was ever ac- companied by roar of such vehcmenco as that which issued from the throat of the great volcano in Krakatoa an islet lying in the straits of Suntla, between Sumatra | and Java at 10 o'clock on Monday morn ing, Aug. 27, 1883. As that dreadful Sunday nig!.t wore on tho noises Increased in intensity and frequency. The explo- sions succeeded each oihor so rapidly that a continuous roar seemed to issue from tho island.
 The critical moment was now approach ing, and the outbreak was preparing for a majestic continuation The people of Ba- tavia did not sleep that night. Their win dows quiycred with the thundcrs from Krakatoa, which resounded like the dis- charge of artillery in their streets. Final ly, at 10 o'clock on Monday morning a stupendous convulsion took place. which far transcended any of the shocks which had preceded it. This supreme effort it was which raised the mightiest noise ever heard on this globe
 Batavia Is 94 miles distant from Kraka- toa. At Carimon, Java, $50 miles away reports were heard on thnt Sunday morn ing which led to the belief that there must be some vessel in the distance which was discharging its guns as signals of distress The authorities sent out boats to make q seaseh. They presently returned, as no ship could be found in want of succor The reports were sounds which had come all the way from Krakatoa. At Macassar, in Celebes, loud explosions attracted the notice of everybody. Two steamers were hastily sent out to find what was the mat ter.
 The sounds had travelled from tho straits of Sunda, distance of 969 miles. But D1erc hundreds of miles will not suffice to illustrate the extraordinary distance to which the greatest noise that ever was heard was able to penetrate The figures have to be expressed in thousands. This seems almost incredible, but it is certainly true. In the Victoria plains in West Aus tralia, the shepherds were startled by noises like heavy cannonading. It was some time before they learned that their tranquility had been disturbed by the grand events then proceeding at Krakatoa, 1,700 miles away.-Youth's Companion.

DISEASED ALL OVER. A Man Who Thought He Could
 Never Be Cured, But the Electropoise Relieved His Nervous Rigors and Made Him
 Brand New Man.


 Knowing the amount of suffering there is in the world, I feel 1t my duty to add my testimonial to that of thousands of others as to the efficiency of the Electro poise. l was ten or twelve years afflicted so that l was not able to. do any kind of business. 1 seemed to be diseased all over. there being hardly day but what l had nervous rigors, which would apparently tear me all to pieces, and these rigors would be followed by cramps, which ex- tended all over my body, and which would last from four to six hours.
 l procured an Electropoise two and half years ago, and after using 1t some time I experienced great relief. 1 use it now for everything that ails me. l am red and rosy, and attribute it to nothing else but the Electropoise, and nobody conld buy mine from me for a thousand dollars if knew that I could not get an other one. Yours truly,

Explosive Power of Nitroglycerin.

Whoever works with high grade explo- siyes must take his life in hand. Some of tho accidents that have occurred in the course of the manufacture and handling of such materials are as interesting as they are shocking. Recently man driving two horses to a wagon carrying 1,200 pounds of nitroglycerin met with some accident and upset his load. Tho team, wagon and driver were simply reduced to undiscoyerable atoms. A fragment of the mans clothing, found over n mile from the scene of explosion, was all that could be traced as having belonged to human being Bits of tho horses were found miles away, and some small pieces of the wood and metal of the wagon. In the adjacent fields cattle were killed by tho shock, and in towns around the country horses ran away with fright windows were broken and buildings were shattered Almost all of the window glass in the houses for sev- erai miles around was broken, and hole was made in the earth 15 feet deep, 60 feet across at the top and 35 at the bottom Whom such explosions occur with the en- tirely unoonflned product, it is not diff cult to imagine what might happen were this dangerous compound shut in and cir. cumscribed by rigid bounds.-New York Ledger

A sl,6oo,ooo MOSQUITO FARM.
The Island of Ant1costi Bought by Paris
 Millionaire.

Millionaire.
 There is considerable amusement in Quebec among those who know the island of Anticosti and are aware of the attempts to sell this and other properties in Canada by "salting" it with minerals, etc., over the report brought back by the French OK plorers and capitalists who recently visited it.
 It has just leaked out that these explor CTS arc acting for M. Monior, the million afro chocolate. manufacturer of Paris, and that the purchase is already decided upon, tho price bc.lg sl, l,600, 900. The purchaser means to stock the island with game, fur bearing animals and fish.
 It is suspected that the visitors were only shown most advantageous points about the island and were taken to fish for Holsters in n place specially prepared for weeks before for the purpose
 There is legend that tho Anticosti mos quitoes are so venomous it Is almost i'm possible for people unused to them to live on the island in summer. The bishop of Chiooutimi landed there some days ago to visit its flow scattered families. He had to walk l5 miles from ono settlement to an- other, there being no road. So terrible were the attacks of the mosquitoes that, though ho is a large, strong man, he faint ed three times during his tramp.-New York World.

3a. The,MarLets of Dresden.

Maria Parloa in Good Housekeeping.
 The open air markets are to be found in Dresden every day in the week, but on the regular market days they are pecu- liarly attractive. These markets are held in the open squares in all quarters Of the city The market in each square has some distinctive feature. For example, I. in one of the finest squares, the sale Of fruits, vegetables, meats. poultry, etc., must cease by o'clock and all the mer- chandiSe carried away. The flower stands remain, but the square is swept clean immediately, and by 9:30 there is no trace of the early occupants. In some of the squares they hold the market until noon, while in others there seems to De no limit to the time in which the traf- fic may go on. Many of the people take their merchandise from the early market to one that closes later. It was com mon sight to see women with great baS- kets of vegetables Of fruit on their backs which they were transporting from the place of early sales to that where they could continue to later. Another mode of transportation was in dog carts, one er two dogs and a woman harnessed into the carts together The merchandise in these open air markets was arranged on the bare pavement, or on temporary stands or on dry goods boxes. Many or the stands were protected by great white umbrellas. Some of the meat stalls were the toughest kind of wooden buildings, many of them not larger than a good sized packing case. There was nothing attractive about these buildings or the meat sold in them.
 One can find nearly everything in the way of food and the common household utensils in these open air markets. The great white umbrellas, the women in their queer costumes, the little dog carts and the colorings of the various vegeta- bles and fruits make a picturesque scene in the heart of the city
 There are, Of course, the small local markets and shops where all sorts of eat ables are sold. Sausages are a great in- stitution in Germany, the variety is be- wilderng. People who eat them say that many of these German sausages are de- licious There are shops where hardly anything eisesis sold. One can buy them hot all ready to serve, or they may be cooked at home. These hot sausages are boiled, or steamed, not fried. Several kinds are boiled, but the blood sausage are the ones that are most frequently served in this manner. In the sausage shops one always finds a large nickel plated steamer on the counter where the sausages are kept red hot also cooked meats. and here one can purchase any kind of poultry or butchers meats ready for the table. As rule these meats are of good quality and cost much less than in France.

a certain knight of the quill in a govern

At the end OF the week of mourning Mr..

When asked by his chief how he Jared, he
pulled very long face, and said he had

the last rites properly performed" and so
on, adding that, of course, he felt very
