Judge Goodwin, of the Salt Lake
Tribune, one of the ablest free silver
editors in the United States, SAYS:

silver is the paramount one, SO
much so that all other questions
are subordinate to that" How great
minds do differ The editor of the
Elmore Republican thinks that the
success Of his Republican county
ticket this YEARS. paramount to all
other issues"
We appeal to the Peoples Demo
cratic convention to meet here to-
morrow to make no mistake-put
none but good men and sure win
ners on the ticket, and divide the
Nominations as equally as possible
throughout the county. Our COM
mon enemy-the Reps-are using

dissention in our own ranks, and
should there be one delegate in
either of the conventions tomorrow

A Triumph OF Science.

The noise of wars alarms should not
distract attention from the marvellous
triumph of science which is reported
from Vienna. 1t is announced that
Prof. Routgen of the Wurzburg Uni
versity has discovered light which,
for the purposes of photography, will
penetrate wood, flesh, and most other
organic substances. The Professor has
succeeded in photographing metal
weights which were in a closed wooden
case, also a mans hand which shows
only the bones, the flesh being invisi-
BILE.
The Chronicle correspondent says
the discovery is simple. The Professor
takes so-called Crooke's pipe, viz:
a vacuum glass pipe with an induc-
ton current going through it, and by
means of rays which the pipe emits
photographs on ordinary Photographic
plates.
"In contrast with the ordinary rays
of light these rays penetrate organic
matter and other Opaque substances
just as ordinary rays penetrate glass,
He has also succeeded in photograph
ing hidden metals with cloth thrown
over the camera. The rays penetrat-
ed not only the wooden case contain
ing the metals, but the fabric in front
of the negative.
The Professor is already using his
discovery to photograph broken limbs
and bullets in human bodies.

dence was all in, he braced up to de-
eide the case.
"'The plaintiff, NIT his first four Wit
nesses, witch includes himself said his
honor, makes nodings out for his side
of der case. Vas dat all his testimony

und who gifes his Testimony witch COM
pletely covers der controversy in all

he had named himself as this witness
If it were uncontradicted, und un-
impeached, I could gife judgment for
the plaintiff. But such is not the case.
While the Testimony of this witness

yet now comes six reputable witnesses
already, who climbs one after de odder
to die witness chair, und says dat dey
know this MAINTAINING himself-dot
he is a liar where he lives dot his des-
timony is lies, und dot his word ist no

a mighty hard ding to do, but in this

Derefore, as it isn't What | dink of him

have already said, know nodings of

Thurman, that the old Dutchman ever
did. 1t established his reputation as
an honest man far and near, and from
that time until his death, if anybody
had made an effort to impeach his evil
dence given in case, he would have
failed. The whole neighborhood looked
on him as a second Daniel from that
time forward"
