Is This Perpetual Motion, Al LAST?

j. q. kaller, of Mankato, Mimi, has
applied for patent for an invention
which, he says, will take the place OF
steam engines and electric motors
The device 10 called hydraulic mo,
tor and the principle upon which il
works is The natural law which cause,
lighter substances than water to rise
to tho surface.
Au endless chain Of small air-tight
tanks is placed over two sprockett
wheels il such manner that on one
side it Will pass upward through u
large tank of water. AS each sir tank
enters The water tank from below,
through a water tight valve, 1t will
force to the surface, by he superior
weight of the water, and in this way
the chain will be kept in perpetual
motion, revolving the sprocket wheels,
to which shafts are attached.
II the assertions of the inventor are
true, the motor will run on Indefinite
ly without fuel He says that .he
first cost will be less than that OF
steam engine, while the operating ex
penses will be so small thai all other
motive powers will be driven out Of

A DANGEROUS AMUSEMENT.

The inevitable tendency of such
controversy is to cxacerbate irritatcd
feeling, lily concealed under guiso OF
good nature and jest, until il reaches a
point when all the underlying bitter
ness comes to the surface, and the dis.
putauts are betrayed into an iutem-
perance of utterauco which brings
deep regret and modification, or even,
as in too many cases, results in tragedy.
1t Is pity that the press associa-
tions of the different States DO not
adopt laws for the settlement OF such
disputes, which arise almost insensi-
bly,, and in which the disputanls find
themselves involved i'll a quickSand,

is something provincial about such u

No Chnrge Against these Men |

Salt Lake City, Utah, Dec. 22. 1897
To the Editor;
In your last evenings issue is a COM
munlcation from Mr. Charles Ellis. in
which reference is made to the state
ment by some man TO the effect that
during the last seven years contractors
have been bled by Salt Lake officials.
and the writer moralzes soundly on
such corrupt practice.
Said reference possibly may have
pertinent application somewhere, but I
fear, us the matter now stands, 1t may.
i'm the minds Of the voters and taNpay-
ers of this city, be placed where 1t does
not belong, and in the confusion OF
the cry Of stop thief'' in the dark, the
guilty parties glide out Of sight.
Now. during the last four years
Captain Willard Young has been city
engineer two years. the present in
cumbent Mr.. f. c. Kelsey. has occu-
pied said position nearly two years,
and Mr., a. r. poremus has been chair
man Of the board OF public works most
of that time Surely Mir, Ellis would
not wish to be understood as insinuat-
lance either OF these three gentle
men. over his suhurdinatcs. II prac-
ticahle. il would seem 20 be well for
Mr. Ellis to point out the exact april
cutlon OF what he says, but in the alb
aenUe Of being able 20 do so convenient
~. justice to incorruptlLle officials
would certainly warrant his putting
the matter In such shape as not by
Implication or otherwise, to direct I'M
favorable attention TO honest men,
striving by every means IN their power
10 prevent corruption OF the very kind
in question. Respectfully

the killing occurred are not known here

to determine what steps shall be taken
to secure PREPARATION, II 1t shall be
found that the killing was, as is ex-
pected, unjustifable
The first killing was of a sailor
named Montgomery, formerly attached
to the Yorktown while she was on
the Asintic station, and the last was
that OF Frank Epps n sailor native
