Had Jerry simpson Lost, His Son

Wichita Cor, Chicago Chronicle.
No one in Jerry Simpsons district took
keener interest in the election than the
16-year-old son of the congressman-elect.
The fight between Simpson and Chester T.
Long, the republican nominee, was a warm
one, and it was watched by young Simp-
son with keenest interest. Simpson was
unable to return to his home in Medicine
Lodge for several weeks previous to the
election. On the very day of the election
Long ana Simpson, both residents of the
same town, travelled homeward together
and, after arriving at Medicine Lodge at
noon, the latter cast his VOTE went home

SPIDERS IN THE Am.
Their Life Line Serves Them In
Place of Wings.


From the New York Mail and Express.
In communication to Knowledge. on
Spiders" Rev. Samuel Barber discusses
at some length the phenomenon of the
fiotation line. and It's method of attach
ment, which is the foundation of the spi-
der's web. Is II not evident, asks the rev.
erend gentleman, that air-and probably
at a high temperature-must be enclosed
within the meshes OF the substance form
ing the line when It passes from the spin
nerets into the atmosphere? The creature
with this substance lifts It into the air. 1t
has been usual to explain the ascent by
the kite principle, namely, the mechanl-
cal force of the contiguous atmosphere,
but air movements, especially on small
scale, are so capriclous and uncomfortable
that without a directive force the phenom-
ena- seem quite inexplicable.
In support of this theory OF direct pro-
s own iU5Ss fHes e0e s ~
with two sheets OF quarto before him, he
saw small spider on the paper, and in
the air, he held one of the sheets OF paper
about foot from that on which the Great
ure was running. IL ascended to the edge
and vanished, but in a moment II landed
upon tho other sheet through midair, In
a horizontal direction, and picked up the
thread as it advanced. In this case there
was no air movement TO facilitate, nor
any time TO throw line upward, which,
indeed would not have solved the Difficult
~. on another occasion, at a dinner par
ty In Kent, four candles were lighted on
the table, when a thread was seen to be
strung from the tip OF one of the lighted
candles and attached to another about a
yard off, and all the four lights We're con-
nected In this way, and that by a web
drawn quite tight.
The only explanation which Mr.. Barber
can suggest for, this remarkable occur
renee Is that the spinner was suspened
at first by vertical line from above, and
thus swayed itself to and fro, from tip TO
tip of the candles. 1t was certain the spi-
der could not have assembled from the tai
Bile, and IL was equally certain that aerial
fiotation of the line from fixed point was
impossible, as IL involved floating in four
opposite directions. The rapidity with
Which the initial movements in forming a
web are made cannot be reconciled with
any theory of a simple atmospheric con-
vection and propulsion appears the only
explanation.

Americans don't use the telegraph for
interchange of holiday compliments as
much as Englishmen and other Europeans
do" said an official OF the Western Union
to the Philadelphia Record. Sending a
telegram Is serious business for the ordi-
nary man or woman. They think It's ex-
penslve, and only use the wires when they
have to. There's one exception, however,
and a kind of complimentary business
that most people would never suspect.
Whenever there's Hebrew wedding, that
Is, one Of any Importance, we handle
scores of congratulations, hundreds some
times, from all parts OF the country. They
are sent with directions TO deliver at GER
tain hour, and we generally send them all
TO the house or the place where the recep-
ton Is held in one bunch. It's a good thing
for the company, for the senders don't
count words, and file their kilograms with
out any revision. Sometimes they run up
to 100 or 100 words"

Frank P. Clark's Mare Which Was a
 Winner Yesterday.
 The New Haven Driving association made it's debut yesterday afternoon in manner indicating that it will be a valuable member of the National Trut- ting association.
 It was day of surprises ana only a few considered Viola a likely winner in the 2:27 class, and Vestal was the ia = vorite in 2 field of eight starters MT. Frank P Clark's handsome bay :lare Viola, driven by the we'll known reins- man, Matt Darcy of Hartford, had only to step three heats to win the money, and in the last and most exciting l1t at she stepped to a record of 2:24%a.
 Viola is four years old. She was per chased by Mir. Clark at the horse show, and much credit for the adrnirable speed she showed yesterday is due to tho clever handling of Trainer Matt Darcy.
 The gamy campaigner Jarenita came in second.
 The mare Mary B. won the purse in the 2:3S class and lowered her record to 2:3l. Her owner MT. A. Granniss, received many congratulations,

 The police of the East One Hundred and Twenty sixth street station, in which precinct the tra gedy was enact ed early this morning, telegraphed word to police headquarters shortly after the mal was shot that he at tempted suicide. Later developments, however, show that MT. Flesch did not attempt suicide. and his sor, Louis Louis Flesch, aged twenty, was arrest ed and locked up in the One Hundred and Twenty sixth street station, charg- ed with attempting to murder his fath- CT.
 Just what the police know concerning the matter they refuse to give out for publication.
 The young man when arraigned said he knew nothing about the shooting of his father further than that he had been aroused from his sleep and found his father bleeding from three bullet wounds.
 He was held without bail for exami- nation on Saturday.

FIRE IN REMINGTON.
Dwelling of Patrick Hove Burned Yes
 terday Morning.

Newington, Sept. 18.-The home of MT. Patrick Hove, a few rods north of the railroad station, burned down at 2 o'clock this morning. The circum stances were unusual MT. Hove, who was alone, retired at o'clock last eve ming. At 10 o'clock he was awakened by the smell of smoke,s and on investi- gation found fire in the parlor where there had been no stove fire and noth- ing but a lantern during the previous twenty four hours. Quickly summon ing help, he extinguished the flames with the assistance of neighbors, and retired
 At ? o'clock the fire broke out again under the caves, and again the neigh bors assisted him in extinguishing it. MT Hove became no nervous that he decided to go for a nephew living over on New Highway to spend the rest of the night with him. and when he was returning he saw the house burning Neighbors had again gathered, but too late to same it the third time. A nar- row escape was had by those who were removing the cooking stove. They had taken it about ten feet from the house. when the chimney fell directly upon it and they narrowly escaped with their lives
 It is thought that rats in the wall had nibbled matches and caused the fire.
