Bearing Thermometers Alort They Foretell
Changes In Temperature.
Experiments being made in Bayonne. n.
j.. with kites to test the theory OF the relation
between the temperature of the upper air and
that at the earth's surface. Some years ago
William A. Eddy. tho kite flyer. advanced the
theory that when considerable decrease in
temperature was found in tho upper strata there
would be cool wave at the earths surface
within forty.eight hours. This theory Is held
by the experts at the Blue Hill Observatory.
and also has supporters in the Weather Bureau
at Washington. For year now Mr.. Henry l.
Allen OF Bayoune has been experimenting with
sclf.rogistering thermometers sent up in kites,
and of his ten trials but one failed to substan
tiate the theory.
AS far as it has been worked out, the theory IL
that where the air aloGt is To- cooler than Mt the
earth's surface there will be a fall OF tenn or.
ature within forty-eEht hours. and where il Is
less than 10 cooler, the temperature will rise.
In the experiments the normal ecrcasc OF l. for
every go feet OF altitude was reckoned on as a
factor. The following tablo OF experiments
shows that in every trial but the last the rule
worked perfectly In each case the average
temperature OF the day selected for the expert
ment was taken. the temperature marked by
the thermometer sent aloft by kite. and tho
temperature OF the two days following.

On the morning Of Jan. 18th Hcos-
tons Iz-year-old son, John, shot and
killed his 9-year.old brother. Tooch,
with a 3S-calibre, doublc-action Smith

enirely through the boys head and
lodging in the door-facing behind him.
1t seems that on the night previoos
to the homicide a man stayed all night
at Smith Houston's, and laid his pas
tol on the man,el-piece before retiring.
The two boys noticed the weapon
the next morning and John picked Il
up to inspect it, when, in some unac-
countable way, It was discharged, the
ball crashing through Tooch's head
John claims that he dropped the
pistol, which caused Its discharge, bui
this statement seems improbable when

The MARSHALL Case Reversed.

Isaac Marshall, who was first tried
at the October, 1893, term of circuit
court for seduction under promise of
marriage, Miss Annie Mason, of near
Brunswick, being the prosecuting wit
ness, found guilty and sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years, has
again secured a reversal of his case In
the supreme court, and 1t will be dock
eted for uial at the next April term OF
circuit court at KeytesvilIe.
After his first conviction In the cir
cult court, Marshall appealed to the
supreme court, and the finding of the
lower court was reversed and the case
|remanded.
His second trial in the lower court
occurred in April, 1895, when he was
again found guilty and sentenced to
the penitentiary for two years.
He again appealed to the supreme
court, and last week the higher tribu-
nal for the second time reversed the
verdict of the jury, which convicted
Marshall at his second trial. and re-
mancing the cause to cur circuit court
for third trial.
Since his alleged broken faith with
Miss Mason, Marshall married Miss
Sarah Bennett, of near Chraneviile, on
March zth, 1893, and now, we be-
lieve, lives on a farm In Salisbury
township
1t Is quite probable that Prosecuting
Attorney CoIlet will enter a nolZe Pros
egui in the case against Marshall when
it is called up for trial next April, as
the costs in the case already amount
TO several hundred dollars

7ripieif,s Postmaster q Defauitec.


The citizens Of Triplett and vicinity
were greatly shocked last week when
they learned that ]. III. Kermicke,
postmaster at Triplett, and also a
hardware merchant at that place, was
short In his accounts with the govern.
merit to the amount Of nearly $500.
1t had been known for some time
that MIR. kermickel had been person.
ally neglecting his business, spending
money freely, and that he was gener.
Gus to fault with his gay compan.
ions, but those who knew and liked
him best had NJ idea that he was
squandering Unc'e Sans money,
which he did by issuing money orders
to pay his private obligations.
Edward Ox'eJ. a young man who
clerks In Mr.. Kermickel's hardware
store and is also assistant postmaster,
became alarmed at the condition of
the affairs Of the post-office, and it was
through the ou;cropping of young Ok
ley's anxiety that Mr.. Kermickel's
bondsmen, Mesxs- w. F. Tucker, T.
p. Knight, B. F. Fleetwood, r. T.
Morehead and J. G.. Barlow, learned
of the postmaster's shortage.
Mr.. Kcrmickel, who was out hunt
ing. was sent for, and upon being
asked as to the truth in the premises.
he frankly admitted that he was short
in bis post-ofhce accounts, which, up
on investigation, proved to be nearly
$500.
In order to save his bondsmen, Mr..
Kermickel turned his stock of hard
ware. agricultural implements. buggies.
etc, over to them. and they, in turn,
paid Mr.. kermickel's shortage to the
government, and also paid off judg-
ment for $r29.5o that was rendered
against Kermickel in Justice &. w.
Cunningham's court at Brunswick on
JAM nth, 1897, in favor of the St.
Louis Carriage Manufacturing Co.
1t looked for awhile like j. S.
Loutzenhiser, of La Plata, to whom
Kermickel traded his stock Of hard
ware, implements, buggies. etc, for
S. 900 worth of land in Southwest
Missouri, and Kermickers bondsmen
would clash in legal combat over a
controversy as to which was the owner
of Kermickel's stock of merchandise,
but we are reliably informed that their
differences have been amicably settled,
and that the bond,men Will hold the
fort' SO far as the goods at issue are
concerned
Whether or not the government will
take steps to prosecute Kermickel Is a
question that the future alone can
solve.
About eighteen months ago Ker-
nickel embarked In business at Trip
lett, and at that time had S. 500 in
money and some other property be-
sides. His financial entanglements
are due to a lack Of business capacity,
coupled with too generous nature,
which led him to indulge in extrava-
gances he could not afford.
