Estimating the. Heat of the Sun.

F1clA - 70 ohh
Scientists rarely agre in their esti-
mate of the probable heat of the sun,
though it appears that the same opin-
ion on this point is shared by Prof.
Langley and Lord Kelvin, whose cal
.culations fix the temperature Of that
luminary at about 5000 degrees cent?
grade. They arrived at this result
from figures based on solar phosto-
pheres. The eminent Italian astrono-
mer and mathematician, Secchi, gave
1t Al his opinion that the temperature
could be but little, il any, short of 10
million degrees centigrade. Sporer
thought it might be $4,000 degrees,
while Popillet brought it down to
somewhere between 1,400 degrees and
1880 degrees of the same scale. M.
Becquerel's opinion was in substantial
agreement with that of Frof. Langley.
Again, M. st. Clair Deville declares
that the heat of the solar surface does
not give evidence of being in excess
Of 2,s90 degrees-this conclusion be-
ing In accordance, also, with the con-
illusions arrived at by Bunsen and
DeBray. But sir Robert Mall, pro-
fessor Of astronomy at Cambridge,
England, is quoted as rating the effect
i've temperature of the sun as probab-
ly $4,000 degrees.

4 MOTHERS EFFORT.
Mother Sees Her Daughter in q PitifuI Con.
dition, but Manages to Rescue hsr.

The St. Paul correspondent for the Neo
Era recently had an item regarding the case
of Mable Stevens, who had just recovered
from a serious illness of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the first time in three months. The letter
stated that it was a very bad case and her
recovery was considered such a surprise to the
neighbors that it created considerable gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
in the case, a special reporter was sent to
have a talk with the girl and her parents.
They were not at home, however, being some
distance away. A message was sent TO Mr..
Stevens, asking him to write up a full his
tory of the case, and q few days ago the fol-
lowing letter was received from Mrs. Stevens 4:
"ST. PAUL, IND, Jan. 90, 1897.
Editors Ne,g Era, Greensburg, Ind.
"DRAR SIRs: Your kind letter received
and 1 am glad to have the opportunity to
tell you about the sickness and recovery of
Mabel. We don't want any newspaper
notoriety, but in a case like this where q few
words of what I have to say may mean re-
covery for some child, I feel it my duty to
tell you of her case. .
"Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining of pains In her limbs, princi-
pally in her lower limbs. She was going to
school, and had to walk about three quar-
tiers of q mile each day, going through all
old and doing so well in her studies that /
disliked to take her from school but We had

8. O. Groves is one of the most
intelligent young farmers in Audrain
county. He has handled sheep extern
sively for a number of years. Mr..
Groves is reported as saying: 81 To-
ticed there is an effort being made to
credit the Dingley tariff bill with the
present profit IN sheep raising. The
fact is, there has been an advance in
the price of wool all over the world,
In Europe as well as in this country,
so that the new tariff, which really
was not in force until few days since,
could not have been the cause of high
prices. 1 have made more money in
sheep raising during the low wool

any time since of have been engaged

sheep Is in mutton. / sold lambs this
year at $4.65 per hundred and they

SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
Unraveling George Menifee's Past Life
are the Officers of the Law.

Friday David Wallace, prosecuting
attorney of Rails County, came to
Mexico to investigate a little in
George Menifee's past life. He is the
young man confined in the Jail here
on the charge of stealing cattle. 1t
seems that George has led quite a
checkered career in Rails county. He
has been suspected several times of
stealing large numbers of geese and
chickens. On Aug. 3, he stole two
head of cattle from James Toles, of
Rails county, and sold them to ID. s.
Sharp, of Monroe City.
He got away and went to Illinois
and spent the money received for the
cattle.
Friday afternoon at 3 O'Clock Mr..
Sharp arrived here from Monroe City
and in company with Mr.. Wallace the
Sheriff and a LEDGER reporter went
to the Jail and positively identified
George Menifee, who seemed glad to
see Mr.. Wallace, but was not 30 sure
about Sharp. He claimed to have
never seen him.
Menifee had a long and serious talk
with Prosecuting Attorney Wallace,
but refused to make a statement to
the press.

A GOOD COUNTRY
Says Emmett Cunningham in Speak.
Ing of Argentine Republic.

Emmett Cunningham returned Fri.
day from a nine months business trip
to Argentine Republic and says that
although he saw good countries on his
trip he Is glad to be back.
Emmett went down in the interest
of the Moline Pillow Co., of Illinois,
and said he had fairly good success.
He told a LEDGER reporter that the
population of Argentine consisted
mainly of Spaniards, about q third of
the residents are Italians and q few
Englishmen live there. He also says
that the principal industries are cattle
and sheep raising and farming In
wheat and corn. A great deal Of fruit
Of all kinds is raised throughout the
Republic. He says the farmers all do
business on a large scale, but r a
little primitive in their methods az
yet, bat have improved vastly in the
last few years.
Mr.. Cunningham says that the crop
being raised there this year will be
ten times larger than usual. Harvest
ing is done in October and November.
Most of the four leading products are
exported.
Mr.. Cunningham says that he was
very sea sick on the going passage
but that he stood the return trip well.
He will be here 4 or 5 days.

They advised US to take her to the springs, but

she was being benefited, but she suddenly grew

GREAT DOG FEAST.
Sac and Fox Indians Consume 200
Roasted CANNES.

PERKINS, Ok, Sept. 9.-The Iowa
and Sac and Fox tribes are holding
their annual reunion and dog feast on
the allotment of Chief Abraham Lin
coin, six miles south of here.
After six days and nights of contin-
nous dancing the great dog feast came
off yesterday, something like 200
CANNES being roasted. Tomorrow
the dance will be resumed, when they
expect to be joined by 300 Usage

P. o. MARTINS n A
Passed Through Here Saturday-He
Was Killed in Colorado and
Buried in Illinois.

8. Palmer Martin, formerly of Mex
leo, now of Fl. Madison, Iowa, passed
through this city on the 2:05 @. & A.
Saturday in charge of the remains OF
his brother, P. o. (Tot) Martin, who
was killed near Trinidad, Colorado, on
Wednesday morning, September 2.
Mr.. Martin told a LEDGER reporter
that "Tot" was working on a con-
struction train and that in some way
the cable became fast on a switch
while the train was moving. The
rope became taut and in some way
struck him, breaking his neck.
Mr.. 8. P. Martin q formerly in
the book and stationery business here
and made many friends. His brother,
the dead man, often visited him. The
remains were inferred at Delevan,
Illinois, Monday.
Mr.. Martin said that he was to meet
q party accompanying the remains OF
his brother-in-Iaw, Geo. Withers, at
Roodhouse, Ill. He said that Withers
was murdered by some unknown per-
son at Piedmont Tuesday, September
7th, and his remains were buried at
Mason City, Illinois, on Sunday.
wTTHERs MURDER DEVELOPMENTS.
PIEDMONT, Mo-, Sept. TO- Devel-
opments to-day point strongly to
the completely of Henry and Kirk
Max, brothers, in the murder of Cash
Ter George A. Withers. They were
arrested last night and investigation
disclosed that the dead body had been
conveyed in q buggy from the spot
where the assault is thought to have
occurred to lear where the body was
found, and thence east and into the
creek, for the purpose, it is thought,
to wash the bload- stains off of the
buggy. One peculiar feature about
the tracks of the buggy is that
the hind wheel on n side does
not trail with the front wheel, and the
buggy belonging to Henry Max, which
is now in the hands of the States At
torney, trails exactly al the tracks
made by the buggy used that night.
Blood stains were found on the
wheel of the buggy. Blood spots
were also on the board bottom. Wit
nesses are appearing who saw the
Max rig at about 2 O'Clock that night,
and other suspicious circumstances
are turning ND eVery hour.
