In Memorlum of little Earl Ben
nlngton.

DANA, KANSAS, July 90, 1896.
The angel Of death did enter our home,
And bore our darling baby away;
The crib that he filled few days ago,
Is sadly empty today.
We loved him. Oh, no tongue can tell,
How much we loved him, and how well,
God loved him too, but thought 1t best
To take him to his heavenly rest.
Our darling is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade,
Fond hearts will ever linger
Round the spot where he is laid.

Music and Bridges.

The majority Of readers have doubt

that music win materially injure such
structures. Persons who really believe
that mCGio VIII cause such vibrations
in IA bridge as to throw it from its foun.
dation piors, ii kept up for sufficient
length ul time, cite the fact that when
armies are marching orders are given
to stop the music before the troops reach
the bridge, e?ecially if the structure be
one bnilt on tho suspension plan. But
this IS not done because there is any
danger to the bridge on account Of the
vibrations caused by the music, but be-
cause the measured tread of vast
number of men keeping step would sub
jcct the structure TO greater strain
than an irregular agitation. The reason
Of this is obvious: The bridge suffers
least strain when mt rost When in uni
form motion throughout all its parts,
1t acquires momentum equal to the
entire suspended weight multiplied by
the velocity of such motion. This being
the case, it is clear that a uniform
downward vibration will soon reach the
breaking strain, while the same disturb
ing forces. acting irregularly, would
counteract each other to certain de-
gree and thus be far less trying st.

Casimir- Perier crossed his arms tightly
upon his chest, looking very perplexed.
One of his neighbors whispered TO him
the wrong answer, whereupon the pro
fessor gave him the exact position Of

Taking mankind at large, perhaps
we should find them accounting for the
phenomena Of nature quite rs much

It took only a very few minutes in
United States Commissioner Pratt's
court yesterday morning to establish
The fact that Henry Briggs was not
guilty Of the charge preferred against
him of assaulting with intent to rape
tweive-year-old Josie Richards. In
fact there appeared to be no founda-
ton whatever for the charge and his
honor emphatically stated that the ac-
ton should never have been brought.
1t was charged by one z. p Deal
that Briggs, who is a machinist liv-
ing on Sixth East street. had assaulted
the little girl in the manner stated.
The girl lives with the Deals as a sort
OF adopted daughter and had been
working at Briggs house, but had
lefFSrd gone back to CO.. It a little
money which was coming to her and
II was at this time that the fense
was alleged to have been committed.
Yesterday morning the first aud only
witness examined was the child. Josie
Richards. She in reply to Assistant
County Attorney Harrington, testified
that on Thursday she went to Mr.
Rriggs' house for the purpose of re-
ceiving a dollar which was due her.
He paid her the money and talked
with her and asked her to come and
