We hope our readers will forbear
with US this week. We had intended
to commence Vol. 10, No. /. by issu-
ing an SPACE paper, but the patent
houses at Kansas City both claimed
the right (by previous agreement) to
furnish US our patent. This case is
almost identical with the commits
sioner case tried this week before
Judge Monroe. Thursday evening
we received letter from one of the
firms saying that they would furnish
us the patent. In the same mail we
received a letter from the other firm
in which they informed us that their
firm was entitled to our patron
age. Next week we will issue an s.
page paper and the subscription price
will be 81 per year.

Most of the week until Friday noon
was consumed in the trial of the
custer case of Peacock VS.. Balcom, the
appealed contest case of Musgrave VS..
Barclay and the custer eff Barclay VS..
Marquand in the order named. An
adjourned term will be held Friday,
March 10, at which time decision will
be rendered in each of the above
cases. We do not feel justified in
offering extended comment at this
time. When such decisions are
handed down we trust the people of
the county will know who their Off
cials are for a time, at least. We
know it viii be so unless our Populist
friends continue their policy of ignor-
ing courts and decision. Regardless
of the outcome we are confident that
the finding of the court will be in ac-
cOrdance with the law and the facts
as disclosed by the evidence sub
mitted.

A Sixiieth Year Coin.

There has just been issued a coin
which for a few thousand years tc
come will be considered one of the
mott priced of Queens Victoria's sill
yer currency. 1t is crown piece
bearing the head of her majesty as
used for few years past. with the or
dinary inscription, but carrying on
the rim "Anno Regni LX. Decus OF
Tutamen," the first time that such an
inscription has appeared upon any
British coin, probably upon any coin
whatsoever, for the few monarchs OF
former times who attained their six
tieth year upon the throne did not rec
ord it upon their coins. For some un
known reason the jubilee crowns, is
sued ten years ago, have ouiy a milled
edge, and nothing upon them to show
for what particular purpose they were
struck. There is the date 1887 o.
course, but it is not every one who can
connect it with the interesting event il
really records.

Dog That Can Test Metals,

No bank teller, crook or expert in
Iowa has truer instinct for real,
genuine cart-wheel silver dollars
than has q Rock Rapids dog called
Silver Tip. Silver Tip is tan colored
and weighs about ten pounds. All of
his two years OF life he has been the
property of Landlord Barber, OF the
Lyon Hotel, at Rock Rapids, but it is
only within the last year that his
power OF immediate insight into the
nature of metals has become known to
his owner, says the Chicago Times
Herald.
The way Tip manifesis his power, as
his owner puts its, is as follows: If
one takes a pile OF coins the size of an
American dollar-ssy, q trade dollar,
Mexican dollar, q fve-franc piece
and some counterfeit dollars-and put
one genuine dollar piece in the centre
of the pile. Tip will rummage around
among them for an instant and then
snatch the good coin and proceed to
take care of it in approved dog fashion
to an accompaniment of growls and
bites. Or if one rolls coin along the
floor Tip can tell every time whether
it is good stuff to be chased.
TIP never makes a mistake, and
there isn't bit of doubt about his
powers. He has been tested by
Chicago business men and by commit :
tees of Iowa scientists. He gets no
human help in his work. The good
coin is not marked in any peculiar
way for his benefit, nor is it scented.
ANY one can use his own coin in the
experiment. Nor does Tips powers
depend on signs from his master. The
latter leaves the room without de-
tracting from the dogs ability in the
least.
Mr.. Barber has refused all offers for
the purchase Of Tip.

The Art of YnMning-

Children used to be taught that
yawning was a breach of good behav-
ior, but now if certain medical testi
mony may be credited, il is incumbent
upon parents to see that the youthful
members of their flock not only yswn
when nature so disposes them, but
even practice what may be called the
art of yawning. According to the
results of late Investigations, yawning
is the most natural form of respiratory
exercise, bringing into action all the
respiratory muscles of the chest and
neck. There Is no objection, however,
to placing the hand over the mouth
"to keep the devil out" during the
operatiou,

LIE KNEW LIE KEY.

A Young man leaned up against the
counter of branch telegraphIc Office
where two pretty young ladies are en-
ploye1 as telegraphers, He had been
chatting with them for about an hoIr,
but had forgotten to say that at one
period of his life he himself La / been
an operator. During lull in tho
conversation one of the young ladies
"opened" her key and said to tho
other:
"What do you think of his nibs at
the counter?"
"Dcnt think much of him." was
the reply.
"Why2"
"Oh, he makes me tired-he talks
like a parrot"
"He makes me tired, too-wish he
would sneak.
The young man broke in at this
juncture and said: "Ladies, l thank
you for the compliments you have be-
slowed upon me, and as you are tired
of my company, I'll sneak"
The humorous colors of the rain
bow would not be sufficient TO describe
the changes that took place in the
young ladies' faces. There is moral
attached to this tale and young ladies
in branch offices and elsewhere would
do well TO take heed. "

Nature Makes Soap Bubbles.

About half O mile above Franklin,
Penn, on the Erie road, is to be seen
one of the most curious sights in the
country, which is thus described by a
writer in the Pittsburg Post: ZAP.
preaching small, sluggish stream,
we were surprised to see rising from
the surface of the water number of
bubbles, which glistened in the sun
like glass. 1t was q beautiful sight,
The iridescent spheres revolving swift.
ly after the manner of soap bubbles,
aoated rapidly upward. some breaking
at a height of ten or twenty feet,
others soaring away above the tree
tops and out of sight, resembling,
more than anything else, gorgeous toy
balloons. These bubbles were all
sizes, from an inch in diameter to
more than foot. They were appar-
emily much stronger and great deal
more brilliant than ordinary soap
bubbles.
"a gas line and an oil line had
passed under the run at this point,
within few inches of each other, and
in each pipe was q small leak. The
digging and refillInG of the trenches
had made dam which held few bar
rels of stagnant water. There was
some alkali in the muddy bottom,
which, in combination with the oil,
formed saponule, a kind of soap. This,
while not being perfect soap, was
sufficiently saponaceous and cohesive
to make beautiful bubbles wnen
churned by the escaping gas. The
fact that the bubbles we're full OF gas
caused them to ascend more swiftly,
and the presence of the oil made them
more brilliant, many colored and un'
usually beautiful. The bubbles are
rising constantly and can be seen by
any one who desires to take walk out
to where they are. The strength oI
these bubbles may be imagined from
the fact that small twigs, leaves, etc.
had been floating on the surface of the
water and were carried up in the large
bubbles"

The Lead Worker.

1t is said that lead working disiig-
ures the human body more than any
other kind of work.
In this industry it is inevitable that,
sooner or later, the workers must sue.
cumb to lead-poisonIng, and there
would appear to be no part of the body
that the poisonous fumes and floating
particles which permeate the atmos'
phere of the workshops do not affect.
The complexion takes on a ghastly,
corpse.like pallor, the gums turn blue,
the teeth decay rapidly and fall out,
the eyelids are hideOusly infamed. A
scratch or an abrasion of the skin be.
comes an unbeatable sore.
Later on, when nerves and muscles
become affected by the poison in the
blood, the eyeballs are drawn into
oblique positions, and take on dim
and bleared appearance. The joints,
especially the knee and the wrist, be.
come semi-paralyzed, and the whole
form is gradually bent and contorted.

Giants Not So Big Afler All.

1t may be surprise to some to be
told that even Buttons minimum fig
ure of nine feet is not now regarded
by the best authorities as possibility.
Quetelet, learned writer on the sub.
iect, believes that the largest man who
ever lived was Frederick the Greats
Scottish giant, who was a trifle short
OF 8 feet inches. Probably this
opinion cuts down the possibilities q
little too far. Pliny says that an
Arabian named Gabbaras was 8 feet 81
inches tall, while Posio and Secundills
were each six inches taller. Pliny is
no longer believed when he speaks OF
such things. As another example OF
old-time exaggeration, it may be re-
marked in passing that certain voY'
agers-a class OF persons always anE-
ious to make impressions on their
friends at home-declared that the
height of the Patagonians is really o
feet IL inches. New York Tribune.
