the Jury that in cases where officials
were charged with neglect OF duty by
public rumor, publication, etc. il was
not in their province to investigates
their conduct. as the Government had
made ample provision for treating
such cases through Government In

U. S. Court Proceedings.

What lS kuOWn As the MuZzer case
was disposed Of in the q. s. Circuit
Court by Judge Hawley yesterday
The case is of considerable Importance
as 1t entails an important decision to
many Washoe Valley settlers.
The decision enbodies five distinct
cases and with nineteen defendants
and the Sierra Nevada Wood and
Lumber Co named in the com plant.
Il history Of the case is as follows :
In 1854 when the Souix reservation
was sold according to aC act of Con-
Sress and the Indians reimbursed in
script, OF which one Chas. Muzzer was
entitled TO certificate for $50 acres.
uzzer, before receiving the certifi-
cate, disappeared. and years later an
Indian ~purportlng to be that party
appeared before a commissioner and
demanded his claim. Upon furnish
Ing what was believed to be ADEQUATE
Identification his demands were COM
Piled with and he took up land in
"ooAoe COUNTY, NeFafa, which he
afterwards sold for a large considera-
ton to immigrants. A short time
ago the genuine Chas. Muzzer ap-
piled to Washington for his rights
and proved the fradulant transaction
OF past years. The Government i'm
mediateiy began suit against the
Washo settlers to compel them to
vacate the land, Of which they were
Innocent purchasers and which they
mad improved to the extent Of thous-
ands OF dollars.
The case was decided In their favor.
Gen. Clark appeared for the ranch
ers.

MAN AS 4 MOTOR.

Man is much more than a machine, but he is a pretty good machine. In the North American Review Professor Thurston discusses man as n motor and tries to estimate his force. He is a heat engine in which combustion takes place at singularly low temperature
 The steam motor and gas motor act through variations of temperature, but the man motor is throughout of pret- ty uniform emperature-about 9S de- grees. He transforms energy by pro- cesses different from those of other mo- tors, by processes not yet understood, Considering the amount of fuel, or food, consumed by man, he has for outside work at least the efficiency of the best steam engines. He equals the best en- zine in the supply of energy he gets out of a. given quantity of fuel. The man motor consumes daily a quantity of food equivalent dynamically to a pound of coal, or one-fifth of a horse power for twenty-four hours. A days work is about one-eighth of horse- power for eight hours. The animal machine utilizes one-fifth of the energy supplied to it-as does the best steam engine. But the man motor does more The brain works as we'll as the muscles Digestion, respiration and circulation and the construction and repair of tis- sue all consume energy. It follows that the man motor gets out much more than 20 per cent. of the energy stored up in his fuel. Experiments by Eirn, with respect to the heat of the body, suggest that the animal engine shows results for as much as 50 per cent. of the theoretical maximum.

Diary Of A Dyspeptic.

Ned. Oct. 2T-Is life worth the 1iv- ing? Not such life as mine, surely. It seems as if I had lost the power to think; everything seems to center in that horrible sensation in the pit of my stomach. It's awful. It was a foolish thing to eat that bit of beefsteak this morning. It was so tender and juicy and I chewed it up so well that I thought for this once 1 was all right. If I cannot eat that, what can I eat?
 Friday, Ocf. z3.-To-day like all days these days. Can't think, no life or am bition to do anything. The end and aim of life is what may eat till l eat it, and then its what ate, mixed up i'll nightmare-like confusion with what may eat. My stomach seems not like place for digestion, but fermentation.
 .Sat. Oct. 24. Hardly any sleep last night. What part of my supper was not like lead on my stomach, seemed to be converted into a sliny, liquid mass with vile taste rising into my throat to choke and gag.
 Sunday, Ger. 25.-Went to church to- day. Sermon may have been good, but my mind was wandering, when l wasn't thinking of place quite differ. ent from that with golden streets which the preacher was talking about. Il there is heaven, surely a man with dyspepsia ought to go there. Anyway he has enough hell here on earth te last an eternity.

commission to a single member, It would be impossible for single com missioner to look after the work as it should be looked after in this state. It would do no harm to have the select men given increased powers, but they should not be given powers by which they can checkmate the commission. Connectlcuts roads to-day are the product of economical construction and economical care under the supervision of the selectmen If these roads were built as roads should have been built and cared for as roads should have been cared for, no good roads commis- sion would ever have been created-lt would not have been necessary.
 The states interest in the work is to have good permanent roads built after the most acceptable model, and to have them built under the supervision of q live and intelligent road builder. It is as important to have man of knoWl- edge and skill to construct good road as to build safe dam or to erect model house. With due respect to the selectmen of Connecticut and with Q full knowledge of their diversified qual- ifications and ambidextrous feats, we are compelled to say that it will be bet ter for the public interests if they are kept subordinate to and in step with the commissioners selected to carry forward this work.
 The farmers are not so enthusistic for good roads as one would expect them to be, but the wheelmen, who number S0,000 in the state, are awake to the necessity for better roads and express a willingness to be taxed to promote the scheme.
 The new roads law may be amended, but it should not be repealed or made ineffective. Good roads are popular issue; and if the work is checked may become a partisan issue. and there IS no doubt that those favoring them hoid the balance of power in Connecticut.

IEGISE4TIYE SESSIONS.

While Governor Black of New York legislature of his State be changed from annual to biennial, Governor Pin gree of Michigan advises a different plan. He believes that the interests of the State would be better subserved by holding annual sessions limited to sixty days each.
 It Is difficult to see any wisdom in Governor Pingree's notion about an- nual sessions Nearly all the States have adopted the biennial plan, and they are we'll pleased with its work ings. The only States that have not adopted biennial sessions are Georgia Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island and South Carolina There is no demand for annual sessions in any State where there are biennial sessions. In this State return to an- nual sessions would not be seriously considered by anybody. But that feat ure in Governor Pingree's recommen- dation which proposes to limit the ses- sions is a wise one, amply justified by experience in other States and support ed by considerations of public economy and business-like dispatch of the States business. The States which set no limit upon the sessions of their leg islatures are Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jer- sey, New York, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont | and Wisconsin. Seventeen States have a sixty-day limit, three have a ninety day limit, while other States place linn 1 itations upon legislative sessions vary ing from thirty to seventy days.
 The people of this State groan over l the length of the biennial sessions and well they may An effort is to be made this year to have a shorter ses- sion than usual If it succeeds per. haps the sessions hereafter can be le- gally limited to some date on this side of the Fourth of July.

A WINDY WELL.

Arizona possesses some Of the great est natural wonders in the world, not the least of which is this phenomenon of a current of air issuing from or go ing into the bowels of the earth through sundry natural and artificial openings made in the earth's crust.
 Something over a year ago MT Coufman undertook the drilling or we'll at his place. Everything went well to depth of some tWenty-nVe feet. when the drill suddenly dropped some six feet and strong current of air issued from the hole. The escaping air current was so strong that 1t blew off the mems hats who were recover ing the lost drill.
 The well was of course abandoned and left to blow, but there are some pe- culiarities about it that are worthy of observation The air will escape from the we'll for days at a time with such force that pebbles the size of peas are thrown out and piled up about its mouth until it looks very much like the expanded portion of a. funnel. At the same time 1t is accompanied by a sound much like the distant believing of a foghorn This noise is not always present, because the air does not at all times escape with the same force. Again, there will be for days suction current, unaccompanied by sound, in which the current of air passes into the earth, with some less force than it es- eapes, and any light object, as feath- CT, piece of paper or cloth, will, if held in close proximity, be immediately sucked into the subterranean labyrinth of Aeolus.
 Just the cause of this phenomenon no one has yet been able to determine, put it is supposed that there is an under ground opening between the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, which cleaves the earth for more than mile in depth, and the Sycamore Canyon, some eighty miles to the south of it, of the same proportions but much shorter This would seem possible from the | fact that the current of air is always passing from north to south or vice versa, varying, of course, a few points of the compass from the true meridian | but always in these general directions | as determined by experiment, and thel 1 the stratum underlying the quaternarS 1 is of volcanic cinder. This is very DOT ous, and in many places so-calIed bot 1 tomless holes exist.-Popular Science.

HONOR IN GERMdNY.

The order concerning duelling just issued by the German emperor is a curious and interesting attempt. to find some way to prevent insulted and
 insulting Germans killing each other
 According to this edict, in the case of all private quarrels between officers and all insults which do not admit of a speedy settlement, the parties are to abstain from all further action and at once to inform the Council of Honor under whose jurisdiction they fall. The Council of Honor must forthwith in- yestigate the case, and may adopt one of three courses: It may propose set- clement of the differences; or it may declare that the circumstances pre- ciude the proposal of a settlement and that the matter must be referred to a court of honor; or it may find that the honor of the parties cannot be consid- cred to have been affected, and that consequently there is no reason eltner for proposing compromise or for re- sorting to the action of court of honor. A compromise is to be aimed at so far as is in any way compatible with the laws of professional conduct. The right of confirming or quashing the decisions of the Council of Honor is reserved, according to the status of the parties, for regimental command CTS, brigadiers, generals, or the com mander of an army district in the case of Landwehr officers. These authori- ties are empowered to alter the terms of a proposed settlement, to make such proposals on their own account, or te declare that settlement without ar appeal to a court of honor is out oi the question. Further appeal is to the emperor direct, and all settlements are to be regarded as final If any officer shall evade or anticipate an appeal te
