the alleged disregard of the state

THE LITTLE WIDOW woN.

posed of the deadlock over the nomi-
nation for Enrolling Clerk by select
ing Mrs. Emma Walker Herr, Mrs.
f. B. Richardson Withdrawing.
The Republican joint caucA, nomi-
mated Mrs. Georgia A. Shelton for
State Librarian, after three ballots.
1t is said to be the purpose of the
Democratic Senate Steering Commit
tee to deprive the Lieutenant Gov. of
the power to appoint the committees
for that body. A conference between
the committeeman and Lieut.. Gov.
Worthington was held this evening,
and it is possible some concessions
by the latter may cause the plan to
be abandoned, the compromise Sc
curing to the Democrats some desir-
able places.
a new departure in party politics
at Frankfort is the naming by the
Democrats of the House and the SEN
ate OF a Steering Committee. 1t is
made up as follows: Senators
Goebel, chairman; Salyors, Weissin-
ger, Fulton and Stephenson. House
Carroll, chairman; White, of Har-
din; Furnish of Boone; Thompson, of
Galloway, and Moss of Larue.

bel and other good lawyers declared
to be entirely unnecessary, took the
oath again.
Upon Mr.. Goebel's motion the or
ganization of the Senate was next in
order. All the Democratic caucus
nominees went through by a strict
party vote.
A hitch arose when an attempt was
made to elect President pro tenn,
the point of of order being made that
such precedence was not in order un.
til all the Senate officers had been
chosen. The position of Enrolling
Clerk was untitled, and the point was
sustained. Then the Senate after re-
naming in session fifty-five minutes,
adjourned until noon tomorrow.

The waterworlxs Test.

The formal test of the waterworks
was made Wednesday and yesterday.
The contract requires that five
streams must be thrown 100 feet high
at the same time. The test Wednesday
was unsuccessful, as the pipes sprang
leaks in several places and the trial
had to be postponed. Another test
was made yesterday afternoon on
Main street and two streams were
thrown to the roof of the belfry of
the court house. The height of this
is not known, but is is estimated at IS
feet. Whether the test was satisfac-
tory or not had not been decided

Another notable game animal of the
Northwest is said to be fast travelling
the road to extinction that the buffalo
went. The bighorn, one of the great
est attractions to sportsmen hunting
in the Canadian northwest, is being
unfortunately slaughtered by the
Indians, because of the high prices
now paid for heads and sets OF horns
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the Natural History Society OF
British Columbia, and the society has
appointed committee to secure
proper protection for the animals. 1T
is said that very few rams have been
seen this year. The Indians have been
slaughtering the animals in bands, re-
moving the hides and horns and leav-
inc the carcasses. Two or three yeaTs
of such slaughter as is now going Oh
will, it is said, cause the extinction oi

The Inner Human System May

Prof NortOn's Researches in The
y Ray Field.

BOSTON, April 2S-Eyer since Roentgen
discovered, accidentally or otherwise the
fact that Il was possible 10 photograph the
bones Of man. hand by use OF the CrOOkes
tube, every scientific man on both sides of
the water has been developing new ideas in
connection with the Y ray theory. Every
day some new discovery j. made, and in this
article the discoveries Of professor G. L..
Norton Of the Massachusetts, institute Of
technology will bee treated.
His experience with the y rays has given
the scientific and medical world new ideas
which Will prove invaluable. He has been
enabled TO examine almost the entire inner
system OF the human body. and has seen
the faintest pulsations oi the heart and liver
respond to the inhalations and cxhalations
OF the breath. lie has outlined the internal
organs and has lorutrd disease. He has
seen the movements Of the Joints and dis
cerned the spongy termination Of the bones
as plainly n il devoid Of flesh. And all this
he has accomplished under two conditions
intense darkness in his operating room. and
an intensified, concentrated light.
Professor Norton's apparatus is simple. 1t
Is an instrument which resembles stereo-
scope, with fluOrcscent paper occupying
the place where the picture is inserted. Or.
againit is like camera with paper in place
OF the plate. Between this instrument and
the intensified light from the Crookes tube
is placed the subject.
Considering the result Of these expert
ments, professor Norton feels that the work
being performed here is quite abreast OF
continental work, so far as developments In
medicine or surgery are concerned. He feels
the end is not yet. The detection OF bone
fractures is absolute. and this is also true Of
particles Of metal While there was per-
ceptible shadow of the heart pulsation
shown, he thinks that before long the regu-
lar pulsatiOns may I've clearly defined. and.
in fact, the body may shortly be seen with
all OF its parts performing their functions ,as
one would look into glass case Ht a delicate
bit Of machinery in motion.
