The Lost Bond Found.

There has been great stir because of the
loss of the bond given by the Bank Of New
England to secure the deposit of county
money in the bank. So excited did some
people become, that there were dark hints
that it had either suicided or some individual
with fell intent had spirited it away. Since the
last seen of the bond, when it was in the pos
session of the county treasurer, in the old
safe, the present treasurer felt trife nettled
to think that it had not been found. So he
went through every paper in the safe yester-
day and there, among the musty documents
of an old pile, unused and forsaken, was
found the original bond, safe and sound, just
as it had, been signed and left there. The
attorney for the bondsmen can now secure an
order to see 1t, and make their answer to
the complaint

EARTH STAND STILL.
Something Will Happen Should
Such Phenomenon Ever Occur.

Something Will Happen Should
Such Il Phenomenon Ever Occur.
In the Republic on Feb. we gave q
synopsis of DR.. Slavonski's queer paper
entitled "a Mathematical Proof Of
Immortality" says the st. Louis Re-
public. One striking feature of that
article was an allusion to Prof Thomp-
sons belief in the theory that all plan
cts will eventually come to a stand
still. In other words. that a day will
arrive when the great system Of worlds
will cease to revolve upon their axes
and to make their regular periodical
revolutions around the sun. When
that time comes if it ever should, all
motion will cease and the universe will
be at rest. Our finite minds cannot
comprehend such a state of affairs,
but the philosophers give what they
call good proof that such an era is
fast approaching. Primarily, the case
interests us only so far as it applies
to the motion Of our own little world
but we have been told that whatever
affects the other spokes of the great
wheel will surely affect us sooner or
later. So it is with our world as re-
spects the others. If there is "a re-
tarding medium in space that is
causing a gradual slowing up of the
worlds movements, IS all the great
astronomers declare, that same me
dunn" is at work slowly, but surely,
decreasing the aXial and other mo-
tions Of the sun and his whole vast
system Of worlds.
Newton's great mind conceived the
hot ho frio of
"other forces calculated to retard mo-
tom were having their effect on the
earth's axial as we'll as it's annual
revolutions, but the majority of the
great thinkers of his time and of the
last 100 years argued that such mo-
ton will continue forever. With the
past decade, howeveE there has been
change of sentiment on that score
1t is now pretty certain, from calcula-
tions made by Astronomers Ball and
Hutchins, of England, and Prof. Ad-
ans, of the United States observatory,
that the earth is now losing speed at
the rate Of one hour every 10000 years.
When the loss is so slight it appears
that it can be of no particular moment
to us. At best, we will only live a
tithe of the period which it takes to
lose that hour, and the whole of the
twenty-four must be lost before mo-
ton entirely ceases. But all should
have an interest in the ultimate fate
Of the old world and of the universe in
general. Therefore, it is interesting to
know that there is as much as a min
ute lost in the course of even 100000
years. Whatever the loss is, it event.
ually means the cessation of motion
and general standstill.
If this period of planetary rest should
ever come, what will be the result?
Will the great worlds and suns hang in
space-the planets freezing on one side
and burning on the other-or will they
fall down, down, forever? But let us
see: In such case gravitation would
cease to exert it's influence. Then
there would be no "ups' or downs"

SOLDIER MET DEATH.
Private From Fort Smelling Killed
by a Train.

The body of a young man about twenty
one years of age was found on the MiIwau-
kee tracks at Twenty-siXth avenue south,
late last night He was dressed in the uni
form of a private of the United States army,
and on the collar of his coat was the name
]. Sheldon. AS there is a soldier by that
name in Company G, quartered at Fort SHELL
ing, 1t is supposed the body is that of the
Fort Smelling man. 1t is supposed he was
walking on the track and was struck by the
"Dutchman." The man was instantly killed.
His head was cut off and his body otherwise
mutilated.
