Wind and Sound.

The means by which wind may be
measured by its sound is a novelty in
modern scientific research to which tho
attention Of the National Academy Of
Sciences has been drawn by Professor
Barus. He asserts that the whistling Of
the wind as it crosses wire varies with
the velocity, and that this can be COM
puted from the pitch Of the note OBJ
served i'll case of a given diameter of
wire and for q given air temperature. A
special miCrometer attachment can be
made to convey the sound, isolated from
other noises, to the observer ut a dis
lance. Thus every gust and variation Of
the wind can be studied in this way,
and an idea of the actual direction of
the gust can be had by means Of the
sounds obtained frcm three wires placed
at right angles to one another.

j. B Joseph and Fanny Brashar
Keep a Secret.
WERE WE'D on TIE DEAD QUIET.

Little Romance In which Rock Island
and Reynolds are Interested and the
Particulars OF which Have Jast Como
to Light.
The Reynolds Press in its issue of
this week tells a story Of 8 romance
in which j. B. Joseph. of that place,
and the former Miss Fanny Brashar
are the interested parties. The
Press after speaking of the secret
which has been so well kept by Mr..
Joseph says:
"a few weeks ago he was seen to
head his horse toward Rock leland,
but nothing was thought of it. as he
is in the agency business and does
considerable driving through the
country. About a week later he
came back looking as quiet and un-
concerned as if he had only been out
on an ordinary drive. but it has since
been learned that he left his horse in
Rock Island and took the train for
Rock Falls. where Miss Fanny
Brashar, OF Rock Island, was visiting
an aunt. 1t took him but a few min
uses to persuade her that an elope-
ment and wedding were the best
things in this life. From there they
went to Dixon and got married with
the greatest secrecy possible, even
taking the precaution to register at
hotel under an assumed name. But
the ever watchful reporter ferreted
out the whole proceeding and gave it
away. Miss Fanny Brashar, now
Mrs. J. b. Joseph. is the only daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin Brashur,
of4l7 Twentieth street. Rock Island.
and is bright, intelligent young
lady, well liked by all who know her.
As for Mr.. Joseph, he is wei, known
in Reynolds. having been in the
agency business here for several
years. and is we'll spoken Of by our
leading business men. When asked
il the report of his marriage was
true he said, 1t seems so and l am
glad of it, He intends living in
Rock Island after his wife returns
from visit she is paying to friends
and relatives in Tampico aud Rock
Falls"
A Surprise to Relatives Here.
The first intimation that relative,
had here of the romance was pre-
scented in the above. Both partici-
pants in the surprise are deaf. and
while the bride experiences more diff
Guilty in conversipg than the groom
does, under the circumstances there
should he no complaint on the score
that there has been no noise made
about the happy event. The BRIDES
parents state that they would have
been better pleased had their daugh-
ter been married at home. She
went away to Rock Falls April % to
visit, and there her admirer met her,
and they were married at Dixon
May. The lady is now at Tampico.
while the groom is at Reynolds.
They will take up their home in Rock
Island soon.

SOME MARROW ESCAPES.
Rock Islaaders Have Thrilling Exper-

Rock Ialanders Have Thrilling Exper-

Several Rock islanders had thrill
ing experiences in the St. Louis
cyclone, but so far as can be learned
all escaped injury.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railway trainmen from here who were
caught in the storm have arrived
home safe and sound and tell stories
of the storm which are pitiable and
appalling. Conductor Barber's train
was just pulling into the Mound City
when the tornado swooped down upon
it. Said Brakeman Victor McKib-
ben in speaking OF their experience:
.sOur train was on the trestle, about
forty feet from the ground. on the
Missouri side when the storm struck
US. The train contained about TWEEN
ty passengers, mostly womea and
children. When they realized what
was. upon them their cries,
means and prayers were pitt
able. The train was halted
when il began rocking before the
wind. There was only one thing
that saved US from being dashed
from the trestlework into the river.
and that was the act of our train
being On a curve with the en-
CINE headed toward the storm. The
blow was followed by darkness. The
storm lasted about fifteen minutes.
Then we started up. We only moved
a little way when we were obliged to
halt again on account Of wires and
wreckage, which was strewn along
the track. We got into the St. Louis
depot three hours late" Mr.. Nc
kibben says the morning after the
storm he took stroll about the
storm swept quarters. He said the
scenes were heartrending.
Conductor W. F. Liscon and
Brakeman Fred Liscom aud their
wives were at the Laclede hotel,
which was badly damaged. when the
storm struck it. Mr.. Liscom's train
was to leave st. Louis at 8 o'clock
Wednesday night but it did not leave
until last evening, arriving here this
morning, one day late. Conductor

ASKS COURTTO CONDEMN

Bridge Company Goes Into Litigation for
River Front Rights.
The Rock Island L. Eastern Illinois
Railway on behalf of the Davenport
4 Rock Island Bridge and Terminal
Company today through J. l.. Haas,
its attorney, brought proceedings in
the circuit court for condemnation of
the water lots on the river front from
Seventh street east to Twelfth, part
of these blocks being owned by the
Rock Island & Peoria road.
The dispute between the two cor
porations instead of being settled
smoothly has therefore assumed the
form of litigation.
