Senator Stewart, who helped TO
commit 1.-THE Crime of 1873" is still
at large and unpublished. We infer
from this that he pleads the statute
limitations.
Queer old Mr.. Waite has been nom-
mated for governor by the Colorado
Populists. His campaign will leave
trail of bright red ink over the
whole state.
Let us try to be fair in this cam
paign, whatever we do. Coxey, Of
Ohio, is making grass-fiavored speech
es for Bryan, but we don't believe it
is Mr.. Bryan's fault.
Candidate Bryan's apparently sin
cere belief that he will carry the
state of New York is due entirely to
his constitutional inability to see
himself as others see him.
The Rev. Sam Smalrs remarks that
the people of the west are fairly
wild" about free silver refers only to
the Populists. They are wild about
free silver and everything else.
If Mr.. Bryan's letter was intended
as an effort to say nothing, it must
be recognized as an unqualified sue
cess. He speaks the language of
evasion and deceit with wondrous flu
ency.
1t is announced from Madrid that
Spain is entirely satisfied with Wey-
ler's work in Cuba. Inasmuch as the
revolutionists are satisfied with it al
so, it would be rude for anybody to
find fault.
Chairman Jones, of the Popocratic
committee, is still dealing out a
fine article of homemade serfdom to
the little children of the American
worgingman. Jones is the foremost
spook merchant in the land.
Uncle Richard Bland has suddenly
and completely disappeared from the
Bryan campaign, and his voice has
been frozen into absolute silence.
This is the first token of the blight
ing touch Of the Popocratic frost.
Secretary Lamont openly declares
against Bryan and reputation. He
thus practically announces that if
there is any fighting to be done the
United States war department will be |
found standing in favor of the ma
tional honor.
Present indications are that the De-
mocracy of the empire state is about |
to be Sheehanized and Organized at a
single stroke. After the treatment |
is administered the poor old party will |
scarcely be able to recognize itself |
when it looks in a mirror.
This suggestion that George Fred. |
Williams of Massachusetts,, was re-
sponsible for the enormous Republi- |
can majority in Vermont is Iudicfous. |
Mr.. Williams is cute little humble
bee on the hub of the political cart
wheel, but he doesn't stir up all the
dust that rises from the, roadway.
Pitchfork Tillman challenges the
whole crowd, Republicans and DEM
ocrats alike, to discuss the silver ques-
ton with him, and the fact that no
body accepts convinces him that ey-
is afraid of him. 1t is as if
a crow should boast that he was mon
arch of birds merely because his chal-
lenge to a clawing match had been
declined by an eagle.

This is done without the use OF

Some quaint disclosures have
been made in Europe in the
Roentgen experiments. For in
stance, the Vienna Museum for
some time has possessed at its
chief treasure an Egyptian
mummy, which is swathed to
resemble a human being, but
the inscription on which sug
gested it to be an ibis instead.
The thing. was too rare and
precious to run the risk of
uuwinding its bandages to
solve this problem, but the
shadow photograph now plain
lly reveals the skeleton of a
large bird. Prof. Bergman of
Berlin utilized the discovery
the other day for a surgical
operation, but at the same time
made a speech to the students
in the university class. warn
ing them of the possible
dangers involved in this
new and weird multiplication
of facilities for diagnosis.
He foresees that, now that the
position Of metal substances in
side the human form may be
traced with ease, every body
who has been carrying bullets;
needles and shot for years with
out harm to himself, will be
possessed with the passion to-
| have them located and dug out,
and against this he protests
fervently. He says he made
his special reputation in surge
ry in the Russo Turkish war by
never extracting a bullet if it
was not absolutely necessary;
more than anything else, and
even in time of peace, where
antiseptic aids are at their best;
he earnestly deprecated all but
strictly essential operations of
this nature.

CATHODE RAYS
AS A GERMICIDE.
May Penetrate Diseased Lungs
and Stay Microbes.

New York, Feb. 16.-Edison's
idea that germ diseases, such
as consumption, cholera, diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, smallpox
and the like, might be eradi
Gated by the new tx" rays, is
declared by medical men here
and abroad to be well-consider-
ed. Physicians in London and
Berlin are already experiment
ing with the Roentgen process
and the results thus far attain
ed are said to be entirely salts
factory. 1t has been demon
strated, to begin with. that the
"X" rays possess many of the
properties Of sunlight, register
ing by spectrum analysis a
much stronger violet than the
violet rays of the sun. Profess
sor Marshal Hall, the eminent
British scientist, proved long
ago that rays of sunlight des'
troyed the germs of disease.
The most deadly microbes were
killed by exposure to the sun
in his laboratory. Professor
Hall found that the violet rays
were the germicide rays.
When the laboratory expert
ments of the German scientists
established that the new
cathode light showed the same
chemical composition as the
violet rays of sunshine, medical
men all over the world opened
their eyes in wonder. If this
marvellous cathode light which
pierces clothes and flesh still.
carries along with it through
the other covering of the body
the germicide rays of sunlight
it is argued, then all germ
diseases may be treated and
perhaps cured by merely flood
ing the body or the diseased
parts with "X" rays.
The theory is certainly ;
fascinating one and if the ex-
: periments now in progress prove
successful Roentgen will surely
live in history.
Reverting to less importan
experiments it may be noted
that j. Frank Eline, an cleo
trician Of Baltimore, a protegf
of Edison, has demonstrated
that the ordinary calcium ligh
produces results similar tC

this: Ballington Booth, com
mander of the Salvation Army
in America, has disappeared
with his wife. Their hone in
Montclair, N. j., is closed.
They have not been at the army
headquarters in this this city
since Thursday. Herbert Booth,
brother of Darlington Booth,
and commander cf the army in
Canada, will take charge of the
forces here today. He offered
a reward yesterday to any one
who will tell him where Balling
ton is. The army is stirred to
great excitement.
On the steamship Teutonic
Wednesday night Eva Booth, a
sister, arrived from England,
Herbert Booth was hastily sum-
moned to New York by Colonel
Nicol, a staff officer of the army,
who came here ostensibly on a
mission to investigate the sen
timent of rebellion in this coun-
try against the transfer of Com
mander Booth to another field.
He arrived on Thursday and on
that day a court of Enquiry was
held by the three with Balling
ton Booth before them. Pro
ceedings became heated. There
were charges and incrimina
tons. Ballington Booth was
ordered to proceed at once to
England.

the field where he had labored
so long and where he wished tC

Washington Rinter.
The preliminary hearing OF Charles
Williams. who murdered Washington
Rinker, on Tuesday night, shows the
crime TO be one OF the most brutal on re-
cord. Rinker was a harmless and inot-
fenslve person, while Williams was
known 20 be dangerous when drinking.
When Williams went home from ST.
C%lairsviIIe he found Rinker in bed. as
had b-en arranged by them previously.
Williams pulled Rinker out OF bed and
hit him ove- the head with a long poker,
knocking him senseless. When Rinksr
reSained consciousness. Williams COM
PEELED him 10 so out on the national road,
where he beat him over the head and
body with the poker. Then he drove
his victim into a fence corner and gave
him 4 few minutes in which 10 pray.
When Rinker finished his prayers Will
Jams, with due warning. struck the final
blow upon Rinker's head, the one which
crushed Rinker's skull and caused death.
The performance lasted over TWO hours.
Williams threatened 10 murder anyone
who interfered- He was held without
bail.

sronded promptly, Liberty No. i. To-
Gated in that ward. was Grst on tho
scene and played on the fire from the top
OF the tlpplc. which was not burning.
Independent No. 2 arrived soon, after a
long and hard run from the Second ward
hose house, nearly mile from the fire.
They mad their streams playing on the
blaze from below. The fire WAS first dis
covered In the small room at the south
end OF h coal tipple, Immediately over
the shaft where the coal IS hoisted out OF
the ground. The tlpple extends fifty
feet north. over the railroad tracks. and
IL supported on trestles seventy-iv- feet
high, all OF which was soon abla5e. Here
the coal Is unloaded after 1t Is hoisted
from the mine and goes down through
screnes, into the r:iiruad cars. The
place was a very dangerous one at which
TO work and II was with s.eat difficulty
that the brave FIRE fighters did their
work. After climbing out over ~trestles
10 the most dangerous points they reach
ed the flames and in an hours time had
them subdu-d.
The companies had all their apparatus
In good working order. but the pressure
in the water mains was so low It wa OF
no use until the iiremen had gotten al
most onto the fire. The stream could
not throw twenty-five feet from the hose
when turned on in full force, and 4 good
deal OF time was lost in getting into posi-
don to do effective work.
The c!ty's contract with the Mounds
Vile Water Works Company calls for al.
least s~eventy-five pound pressure az all
times, with the stand-plpe full OF water.
while yesterday there was hardly Z forty
pound pressure on. Working under
this difficulty the fremen did magniti-
cent work and showed that by having a
full supply of water they could combat
any fire.
The entire tippie was burned. and sev-
eral empty bank coal cars, the scales,
the hoisting machinery and cable. Max
ing the loss $500. Insurance OF 5000
is CARRIED, about half of which covers the
burned property.
The origin OF the fire is yet unknown
A report wa current at the time of the
fire that a party of card players had
spent the morning insthe 1ipple house
and left an ~overheat-d stove when they
went home TO dinner, but this the watch
man, VI. Hankin, denies. The fire comes
ct a season OF the year when the COM
pany has plenty OF work and probably
incendiarisn may YET prove the cause.
The company will rebuild the damaged
property az once, but will be delayed
somewhat in filling orders.
The firemen deserve the highest praise
for their heroic work. The companies
