Nash, written at Hopkins, Mo, he states
that he does not like many parts OF
southern Missouri which he visited last
summer. He attempted to cross the
Ozark mountains but found them much
more difficult than travelling in the
Black Hills, and abandoned the attempt
alter meeting several persons who des-
crlbed the county that he had started
to explore, and who gave a discourag-
ing acconnt Of it. The apples in the
trees were small and inferior. On his
return he passed neal Fort Scott in
Vensin county, which is a fine country,
and the UNION has the promise OF a
more definite description OF the wander
ings OF our friend.

A HARD THING TO DO.
1t Is Almost Impossible to Keep Your
-. Hand SELL -...L-

II Is Almost Impossible to Keep Your
Hand Still.
Thought provokes action; think Of do
ing something, and (unconsciously, per-
haps,0 you begin to do it.
In the university of Wisconsin Prof.
Jastrow has an instrument called the
automatograph, which shows very
clearly and precisely the automatic
movements Of the hand.
1t consists merely of a piece Of glass
resting on three movable metal feet; or.
in other words, it is a small carriage
which will shift It's position at the
slightest movement.
At the end is a needle fixed vertical
", and in contact with a roll Of paper
covered with a layer of lanpblack. If
the apparatus moves the movement is
traced on the paper by the needle.
Both paper and needle are hidden by a
screen.
Prof. Jastrow tells you to rest your
hand uponthe glass and keep it per-
fectly still. This appears quite easy;
but when you think that your hand is
quite motionlcss you find to your sur
prise that the needle is tracing lines on
the paper!
The fact is, you cannot keep your
hand still; unconsciously and invisibly
it moves with your thoughts. Look at
that pair of scales; watch how the rod
goes this way and that way as the
scales v Now look at the black
paper; you will find that your hand has
been moving exactly in agreement with
the movement of the rod. /.

Grewsome Journey Through the Cata-
combs of Paris.
Down, down, down! All are in the
rock home Of death. Amoment's pause,
a silence falls on the chattering crowd,
says the Gentleman's Magazine. Then,
affrighted with their seconds fear, they
sway onward through a rocky gallery.
Rock on either side of them, rock above
them; here bare and arid, there Shiny
with oozing water and foul growths.
The passage broadens out, it narrows,
and ever and ever there is the black
line on the roof hat marks the road.
Suddenly a black shadow on the left or
to the right. The eye plunges into the
depths of the side roads, and recoils
aghast at their mysterious gloom. The
lights file IN. A thin glitter seams a
dark gap with a Pickering, broken line
of light. ."Ah!" says the guide. eyes,
a chain" A.
Still forward, the shadows to right
and left grow in size; some have a
sentry silentlY.guarding their obscurity
from rash obtrusion; where there is no
sentry there is a chain.

We move on again, and 10! the rocks
on either hand contract, change color,
break out into the grewsome design of
a symmetrically built wall of bones and
skulls. From the level of our heads
down to the level of our feet skull rests
upon skull and leans back against the
myriad bones behind. The shivering
candlelight falls with unequal RAYS
upon the formal tiers; it flashes coldly
upon the grinning teeth, pe~netrates the
mortarless crannies of the wall, and
ever shows bone Of many shapes and
curves. Now it lights up a rent in
some skull-a CHASTITY, jagged wound
which haunts n with the thought of
foul murder. Anon it shimmers with
cratic play on the trickling water that,
pursuing it's silent way from year to
year, has crusted with a smooth gloss
the skull beneath.

est. enough in the suggestion, to set
men thinking. A very compact,
quite populous and very wealthy
state could be made out of the terri
tory as outlined by the black line of
the diagram given elsewhere, but
where SO many interests are to be
considered and so many state legis-
latures would have to have a hand
in the laying out of the new great
commonwealth it would be we'll nigh
impossible to bring the scheme from
the bud to the flower. The caloric-
impregnated speech of Senator Spen-
Ger on Friday, containing the threat
of secession, set a great MinneSo-
tians to wondering whether or not
leading men about the head of Lake
Superior had not been seriously con-
sidering the matter of forming new
state for some time. The
senator, however, on Saturday, re-
lieved his community from the stig-
ma of plotting to leave Mother Min
nesota by stating fatty that st. Louis
county loved the parent state so we'll
that she would ever remain loyal. A
lot of trash has been sent out from
Duluth, it is true, stating that that
great community was wildly enthu-
siastic over the prospect of becom-

MORTON ANSWERS BRYAN.
Sound Money Is That Which Is
Least FIucfuatinp-GOId

Sound Money Is That Which Is
Least FIuctuating-GOId
WASHINGTON, April 2O.-Secretary
Morton, in an interview today on the
silver question, said: II do not be-
Iieve that an international congress
can establish permanently a CONNER
cial ratio between gold and silver, any
more than it can establish a permanent
commercial ratio between rye and
wheat. But if an international con-
ference can fix the price, in gold, or
silver, it can also fix the price of
wheat or of any other commodity,
and thereby avoid all the possible
shrinkages in values, which tend to
cause panicS.
my own judgment is that we must
sooner or later declare that the United
States of America recognizes gold as
the best and least fiuctuating meas
ure of value and medium of exchange
which the commerce of civilization has
thus far utilized. 1t is barely possible
the financial fallacies. of the Populists
may temporarily secure a majority of
the voters of the United States.
Should such a catastrophe overtake
the country, the people must learn by
experience what they should have
learned by diligent study and reason.
The time for straddlers has passed.
Those who are for sound money on
a gold basis ought to have the courage
TO say so, and abide by the results of
their declaration. 1t makes no differ
ence to me whether a declaration of
truth, either upon the tariff or the
money question, temporarily drives
voters from us or allures them to us.
Il have no hesitation in declaring
myself utterly opposed to all the free
coinage fallacieSs. My judgment is that
silver cannot be restored to it's former
monetary place in the commerce of this
world, because the supply of silver has
outgrown the demand for silver in the
exchanges of civilization. The rela-
ton of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value. This axiom applies
alike to salt, silver, sugar and soap.
All legislation of all the law-making
bodies on the face of the globe can
neither mitigate nor annul the opera
ton of the memorable law, the rela-
ton of supply to demand is the sole
regulator of value The presidents
critics, however, ask what sound money
is. An ordinary man of business may
answer that question. Sound money
is that sort of currency which has the
most universal and least fiuctuating
purchasing power in the markets of
all countries. That money is the
'soundest' which throughout the COM
merce of the civilized world there is
the most universal demand. And that
universal demand is always based
upon the universal and unfiuctuating
purchasing power OF that money!

MARIAN WILLIAMS.

even for an unskilled hand, and moth
ing seems more probable than that
the butcher, be he Durant or an
other, left the church without mark
about him to show of his bloody
work. The detectives even are not
satisfied with this, and last night
they were again at work in the
church building searching from eel
lar to belfry and lobby to altar. They
think that the bloody garments of the
murderer may be found between the
lathing and the weatherboards of the
hall. With ak and chisel they will
tear up. the flooring and rend the
wainscoting.
Another curious circumstan has
come to light. On the body of Miss
Williams was found several horse
hairs and some
HUMAN HAIRS.
A microscopical examination was
made of them. and they were meas
ured. with the following result: The
I long silky hair, presumably from
Miss Williams head, was found
to be six-two-thoqsandths Of an
inch in thickness; the Shorter hair,
thought to be that of the murderer,
measured five-two-thousandt of
an inch, and the horse hair.azof
which there were half a dezen
strands, was found to be twenty.

Times-Herald and Evening Post has
been purchased by II. H. Kohlsaat,
who will direct the policy .ef-the5 two
papers hereafter. Mr.. Kohlsaat's
purchase includes the greater part
of the interest owned by James w.
Scott, and practically all the stock
owned by other stockholders, except
Mr.. Hawley, who retains the one
fourth interest he acquired when the
Herald and Times were consolidated.
Mrs. Scott keeps a portion of her
$20O,0 interest. The transaction is
one that is most satisfactory to all
who are interested in the paper.
Mr.. KOhlSaat had been intimately
associated with Mr.. Scott for years.
Mrs. Scott will receive from the
Times-Herald an annuity of $4,000
for ten years during life. This in
come will, of course, be in addition
to that derived from he sale of her
stock. The policy of the Times-Her-
aid under its new ownership will be
that of an earnest, patriotic Amer
lean newspaper. 1t will be wholly

for that which is best for the ma
ton, needless of the dictates of mere

While avoiding alliance with any
party, it will always forcefully and
earnestly advocate the doctrine of
protection to American industry.
Under that protective system, as
experience has shown, is the surest
means of advancing commercial and
industrial prosperity, and the east
est and most equitable method of
raising revenue. The paper is abso-
lutely opposed to the free coinage
of silver by this nation at the ratio
of 10 to l, or at any other ratio. In
local affairs there will be no color
OF partisanship in the attitude Of

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 90
w. II. Theodore Durant, medical
student and assistant Sunday school
superintendent, is to stand trial for
murder of Miss Williams in Emanuel
Baptist church library on Friday
night, April II, for the coroners jury
has found that the young woman
came to her death by his hand; that
he defowered her, choked her to
death by thrusting pieces of her I'M
derskirt down her throat, cut her
wrists so that she would bleed to
death, and to complete the murderous
work had driven a knife to her heart,
and in a bestial fury slashed her
breast. The slashing and cutting
was done after the girl was dead.
There was a slight flush to be seen
on the prisoners cheek when he
heard the verdict that would place
his life in jeopardy, but his cold gray
eyes gave no sign of emo tion. And
lightly he went back to his cell,
laughed and joked with his jailers
and went to sleep last night as
though he had no cares in the world.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 2O.-The re-

defining the regulation salute, which
was construed as prohibiting cadets
taking off their caps to ladies', has
been extended to officers of the naval

and prohibiting any other form of sa-
Lutte. The order is much criticised by
officers, cadets and ladies.

ing Many Thousands Short.
CHICAGO, April 2O.-George c. Low
ell, for the past three years confiden-
tial man and bookkeeper for the real
estate firm of Mead & Coe, is in the
custody of officers of the Amer
lean Surety company, charged with
embezzlement. The shortages were
discovered yesterday. A detective agen-
cy was notified and Lowell taken in
charge. Mead & Coe placed the
amount of the defalcation at $1,000,
while Lowell is alleged to have con-
fessed he embezzled 1000. Lowell
had always had confidence of his en-
ployers. Friday morning, however,
Mr.. Mead had occasion to look over
the accounts, and at once discovered
that fictitious entries and false bal
ances had been made. Lowell was ac-
cused of being short in his accounts,
and after some denials confessed.
Lowell stated that he had lost the
money through speculation on the
board of trade, but refused absolutely
to tell the firms name of his brokers'
In the minds of the detectives there
are many peculiarities about the case
which as yet remain unsolved. Some
of these points lead the detectives to
believe that the money was not lost
through speculation but is at present
hidden away, possibly in some safety
deposit vault. The last is to the Off
GERS the most plausible theory adj
vanced. An examination of the books
disclosed the fact that the first money
taken was about fifteen months ago,
and since that time sums ranging
from 1000 upwards remained unac-
counted for upon the business rec
ords. Lowell was but twenty-five
years of age and unmarried. He ap-
parently had no expensive habits, and
it was this fact that partially COM
mended him to his employers for pro-
motion. He was not known to be ad-
dicted to gambling in any form, and
says himself that the only game of
chance that he played was the grain
markets.
