distance of eighty feet. They
will ship ten tons of this ore as

they can sort it so it will go

veins on this claim which will

WHY ELECTRIC LIGHTS HISS.
Due to Cheated Carbon Points Evap-
Grating,

Prof. Sylvanus Thompson has been
answering a question which has often
puzzled the public. The arc light pro-
ceeds from the points of two little car
bon rods as large as ones little finger.
Prof. Thompson explains what is the
state of the carbon when the lamp is
throwing out its light. He says, reports
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, that the car
bon is sometimes actually melting,
thing that was until recently thought
impossible.
Moreover, he says that when light
is kissing the liquid carbon is really
boiling. In ordinary combustion the
state of the arc crater is such that the
solid carbon below is covered with n
layer or film of liquid carbon just boil
ing or evaporating off. When kissing
takes place the new state of things is
set up.
He says: IF you watch a short, hiss
ing arc you will see a column of light
concentrating itself on a narrow spot
and the spot keeps moving about and is
very unstable in position, as well as in
the amount of light it gives out. The
crater surface after the arc has been
kissing is found to be literally honey
combed.
"When the arc is kissing you can see
little bits erupted cut, and the kissing
seems to be compared to the kissing
which takes place in boiling water.
There is, in fact, exactly the same kind
of difference between the silent arc and
the kissing orc as between quiet evap-
grafton and a noisy boiling"

DRAWING THE LINE.
How Aunt Jane Did Not NEEDLE with
Other Eol..s' Affairs.

OlEcr L OILS Analrss
The most inquisitive persons often
affect Indifference regarding the af-
fairs of others, and flatter themselves
that they are keeping their curiosity
well in hand at the very time that they
ere giving full rein TO it. Aunt Jane
Jasper belonged TO this class. 1t was
her boast that she had "all she could
do to tend TO her own business. with
out meddling with the affairs of other
folks" and that she never bothered
her head about things that did not
concern her"
She was one day telling about con-
versation she had Struck Up" with Il
woman sitting beside her on street

"She was real Incorporating wom-

"She was trying to break her mothers

with her own brothers and sisters, and
her husband and her didn't get along

AFRICAN CLIMATE.
On the Central Plateau 1t Is Cool and Not
Unhealthy.

Unhealthy.
As for the climate, it is no worse than
that found elsewhere in tropic lands.
The heat is not so great as in India
or as it is sometimes in New York in
summer. Fortunately, writes Henry
NJ. Stanley in Century, the coast belt
on both sides of Africa, where the heat
is greatest, and where the climate is
most unhealthy, is narrow. In four
hours a railway train at ordinary speed
would enable us to cross it, and so avoid
the facilitating temperature. Ascend
ing the sides of the coast range by the
same means of conveyance, we should
in two hours reach a rolling plain
which gradually rises in height from
9, 500 to $500 feet above the sea. Here
the climate is sensibly cooler, and the
white man can safely work six hours
of the day in the open without fear
of sunstroke, though he must not count
on immunity from fever. In from ten
to twelve hours the traveller by train
would meet another steep rise, and
would find himself from 5000 to 5000
feet above the sea, on the broad cen
trail plateau of the continent, which
varies from GOO to 1000 miles across.
1t is in this section that the great lakes,
snowy mountains and tallest hills are
found. Here we have cold nights and
O hot sun when the skies are not cloud
cd, though the air in the shade is fire.
quently cool enough for an overcoat;
/ and it is on this immense upland that
the white man, when compelled by cir
cumstances, may find home.

It was in a saloon the other night,

the man across the table was indulging

he keeps right at it until he has to go
to bed, and then he quits. He lives in
a small town where everybody knows
him, and when he shows up drunk his
family takes all his money away from
him and nobody in the place will let
him have liquor.
"Still, he gets it some way, and he is
very ingenious in that regard. The

WARM FEET.
They Are Essential to Health - Proper
Covering for the Feet.

They Are Essential to Health - Proper
Covering for the Feet.
You will never be III good health and
never do your best work if your feet are
constantly cold. Grave diseases of the
throat and lungs are caused by cold feet
alone, and these troubles are always ag-
gravated by frigid condition of the
lower eXtremities. If proper footwear
does not give relief, consult a physician,
for the chances are the system is "run
down" and radical measures are neces-
sary. In nine cases out of ten, however,
the foot covering is to blame, either be-
cause of its shape or its material. Save
u VAIN weather, and for lQw-Gut shoes,
leather, as ordinarily prepared, has seri.
Gus objections. Itlacks two prime quail
ities-porosity and capacity for alb
sorption-being in this respect too
much like rubber. No foot can remain
either comfortable or healthy ifkeptina
perpetual bath of it's own emanations
and eXcretions. Leather, especially
that of the more porous varieties, may
be tolerated for the outside, but for
cold weather it should always be lined
with wooden cloth, or, better, with wool
felt. In fact, for all cold climates and
for winter wear in all climates where
there is any winter, footgear made
from all wool felt approaches the ideal.
According to modern notions, any ill
ness in one part of the body may be oc-
casioned by some irritating cause far
removed from the seat of the trouble.
Just how this is cannot always be clear
" explained, but that such connection
does sometimes exist is beyond dis
pute. In the matter under discussion,
if the nerves of the whole body are irri-
tatcd by tight shoe, or the extreme
GOODNESS of the eXtremities makes extra
demand upon the blood supply, there
is neither nerve force nor blood enough
left for other functions.-Vocalist.

CAMPAIGN HUMBUGs.

What an immense amount Of money
and time might be saved if campaign
work were stopped right now. Every
body who has not sufficient information
to enable him to decide how he shall
vote by this time can easily obtain it.
The man who does not take sufficient
interest in his own welfare and the
welfare of his country to seek the truth
for himself even if it costs him a little
money for literature, is lacking in pa
triotism and good citizenship.
1t is safe to say that little campaign
work is actually done with a purpose
of enlightentng the voter; the object is
rather to confuse and mislead him.
The men who make campaign speeches
usually do so for reward, present or
prospective. Instead Of dealing in facts
they usually give out opinions, real or
pretended, which are worth no more
than the opinion of any other man.
If there were no salaried offices in
sight and no fees for campaign orators,
there is little doubt that the masses
would be permitted to remain in igno-
rance or reach the light in any way
they could without assistance. Peo-
pie should and probably do, consider
this phase of the matter when they at
tend campaign rallies.
There is no party the rank and file Of
which are DESTROYS of destroying or
even damaging the country. The in
terests of the mass of voters in one
party cannot be served without serv-
ing the interests of the mass Of voters
in the other parties.

BRANCH AT KANSAS CITY.
Talk of Sub-Republican Headquarters
There-Hanna Denies It.

Chicago, Sept. 18.-Branch Republi-
can headquarters will probably be es-
tabished at Kansas City within a
short time. This much has practically
been decided upon as a result of the
conference held yesterday between
Chairman Hanna and a committee of
Missourians headed by Congressman
Joe Frank of st. Louis and Maj Bit
finger of the St. Joseph Herald.
Another delegation of Missouri poll
ticians, headed by Charles P. Arsons
and Tom Neidringhaus of St. Louis
called at the national headquarters
yesterday and held a conference with
Hanna Their appearance had an in
teresting connection with the remon-
STRANGE made yesterday over the mac
tivity displayed by the state committee
of Missouri
It was stated that the Kansas City
branch would be under the control of
national committeeman and the cam
paign directed from there. Chairman
Hanna, however, denied this, saying
that the state committee was able to
take care of the campaign in that state.

CARLIsLE's LATEsT.

If any doubt has hitherto existed as
to what is money in this country and
what is not it has been removed by
Secretary Carlisle's declaration that he
will redeem silver dollars in gold when
called upon.
This position of the secretary can
not be explained on the ground that
all forms of currency are interchange
able on demand, for the reason that in
1898 he refused absolutely to pay out
silver in exchange for anything except
silver certificates. Even these were re
deemed in silver under protest. The
entire course of the administration has
been one of discrimination against sill
yer.
What motive actuated the secretary
in making this announcement can on
ly be surmised. Since by his own ac-
acknowledgement no one has asked to
have silver redeemed in gold the in
formation seems wholly gratuitous.
The reason for it,therefore, must be
sought in other quarters, than a desire
to inform the public on a subject
which it had not asked about.
Coming as it does. in the heat of the
campaign, there is every reason to
believe that there is politics in Mr.
CarlisIe's letter. But whom will it help
or hurt? 1t clears the political atmos-
phere to some extent by making still
palmer what is meant by the present
gold standard It says plainly that
gold is the only money in the country
and that every other form of currency
is token money, wholly dependent up
on the STA 600 in gold in the treas
ury for its value and use as a medium
of exchange

charge of the work, was then brought
up and carried unanimously.
A committee of three ladies for each
block will be appointed by Mrs. SUIT
ton, and these ladies will hold a meet
ing before the floral parade to arrange
for the additional decoration. The
flowers will be assorted and the work
mapped out in such a way that each
committee will know exactly what work
is to be done.
Mrs. SuttOn-I think 1t would be much
better to hold our next meeting Mon
day afternoon. as the time before F'es-
tival week is growing short. 1 would
suggest that the committee of three
ladies appointed to confer with the
Committee of Fifteen ask that commit
tee to furnish some assistance in the
additional decoration of Kansas ave
nue.:
Both suggestions were adopted.
The question of procuring hacks from
which flowers would be thrown during
the floral parade was then taken up,
and it was decided that there was no
need of adding this additional expense,
as flowers could be thrown from car
riages in the parade. In speaking of
this question Mrs Hanley said:
I am not in favor of going ito the
additional expense of procuring hacks.
If we have any money to spare, think
il would be well to use it in bringing
the old soldiers from Leavenworth to
this city on Thursday of Festival
week" (Applause.)
Mrs. MilIiken-If we have funds left
after paying all bills we might turn the
money over to the Committee of Fiji
teen to aid in bringing the old soldiers
to this city.
Mrs. Hunter move that a commit
tee be appointed to call on the railroad
officials and see if arrangements can
be made to bring the old soldiers here
on Thursday. If we never ask for any
thing we will never get it.
Mrs. Milliken-I think Mrs. Hunters
motion is a good one.
The motion was then put and carried,
and Mrs. Sutton, Mrs. Hunter and Mrs.
Aldridge appointed as a committee to
call on the Santa Fe officials.
In reference to the change in the line
of march recently decided upon, it was
the opinion of the ladies present that
the flower parade should not be asked
to go farther north than Third street.
Permission will be asked of the Com
mittee of Fifteen to allow the flower
parade to make this departure from the
general line Of march

poPUITsTs MApE PALMER.

The Populists of Illinois now have
an opportunity to gaze on their work
of six years ago and reflect. They are
responsible for John NJ. Palmer, gold
standard Democratic nominee for the
presidency.
There were three Populists in the IL
linois legislature of 1890 and the Dem
ocrats and Republicans were SO even
~ divided that these three men held
the balance of power On their votes
depended the election of a United
States senator.
The Republicans needed all of them;
the Democrats but two. The election
hung in the balance some days but was
finally settled by two of the Populists'
giving their votes to Palmer The
one who did not vote for him was H
E. Taubeneck, afterward national
chairman of the Populist party.
The dispatches stated at the time
that when Taubeneck found that his
colleagues had forsaken him he burst
into tears. The sequel has proven that
he had good reasons to weep. It is
more than probable that if Palmer had
not been elected senator at that time
he would not now be a candidate for
the presidency. In fact with his well
known penchant for shifting his pOliti-
cal affiliations he might now be a Pop
ulist or a Prohibitionist-
Jerry Simpson W as charged with hav-
ing a hand in the election Of Palmer
but the charge was never proven. If
he did he is probably sorry now. In
an effort to defeat their opponents po-
Htical parties sometimes do worse than
to allow them to be elected.

DEMOCRATS IN FIX.
Illinois Gold Wing Can't Get on the
Official Ballot Without Changing
Name.

Chicago, Sept. 1S.-Secretary of State
Hinrichsen gave it out yesterday that
the gold standard Democrats will have
to adopt another name in order to get
their ticket on the official ballot.
mo petition taken out in the name
of the Independent Democratic party
shall be certified to while I am secre-
tary of state,'' said Mr.. Hinrichsen. He
stated that he had been looking up the
law relating to the filing of petitions,
and finds that a voter can sign the pc
tition of but one elector. The gold
standard Democrats. however have
already prepared petitions for all their
candidates. so no technical objection
can be raised as to their legal right to
be placed on the official ticket
