THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGE.

oid Idea of Houth's Cnrelessness Has

Youth takes itself with the same
seriousness which belonged to age in

greatest proofs of u more complete mas

the wish and ability to he careless, says
Scribner's. The one who is learning to
dance counts the step, and that is what
age has ceased to do; while youth is still

or the age is more skeptical; but, gen.
orally. age nowadays has mastered its
elementary knowledge earlier until it
has it as an actor of All often played role

because, sometimes, like royalty, it
travels incognito; and if it chooses UNI

different state of things from any

FLYNN ON STATEHOOD.
Does Not Favor the Single Variety
At All.

Hon. Dennis Flynn, OF Oklahoma,
was in the city yesterday, having come
down from Muskogee on the 9 o'clock
train, says the South McAlester Capt.
tai.
Mr. Flynn's visit to this territory
had no political significance. He

TO impress the wide-awake ex-delegate
from Oklahoma was the improvement
made here since his last visit two years
ago. He re-urred TO il every few mo
ments and mentioned IL in the most
surprising terms.
Mr.. Flynn gave it as his opinion that
congress would provide for a terrific
rial form OF government during this
session-either by d commission as in
the case OF Utah or by the appoint
ment OF governor and the various
officers OF territory similar to Okla-
homa.
Asked about the statehood question
he stated that he had never favored
single statehood; that all his work
along that line had been done with q
view TO having Oklahoma enter the
territory being attached TO 1t. He
stood that way now and had failed
thus far TO see why Oklahoma people
want the Indian Territory to come in.
Mr.. Flynn said IL had been stated by
some territory papers that he was IN

A NEVADA LYNCHING.


Adam UDer, Murderer, Hanged by
Masked Men.
CARSON, New Dec. s.-One Of tho
most horrible iynchings ever known
in Nevada occurred at Genoa, fourteen
miles from here, at 2 o'clock yester-
day morning Adam Uber, who last
week shot and killed Hans Anderson
I'm a Millerville saloon, was hanged 10y
a mob of masked men to a cotton wood
tree half a mile distant from the Jail.
When taken from his cell the victim
had nothing on but a shiit This was
torn Oft by the lvuchers and the nude
body left dangling in the air for six
hours. As the body was being pulled
up, the mob riddled it with bullets.
When satisfied that the man was dead
the vigilantes dispersed and returned
TO their homes
At the hour above mentioned the
leader of the mob presented himself
at side window OF the county Jail,
and calling to Sheriff Brockliss, stated
that the Gardenerville constable had
arrived with prisoner no wished to
have locked up The sheriff was some
time in responding aud the mob, inn
patient at the delay, battered down
the door of the recorders Office with
slodge hammers, captured the sheriff
and constable and placed them under
guard
The prisoner was then awakened.
He fought with a chair but was soon
overpowered lie cried for mercy,
but was silenced with gag and, after
being bound, was dragged through
the streets, out of the city, and to a
place half a mile distant, where the
crowd halted. The sheriff and con-
stable were forced to accompany the
mob, and, still under "a strong guard,

IRON DISSOLVED BY WATER.
Fluid Containing More Carbontc Acid
Than Lime Does the Work.

Fluid Containing More CarbOntc Acid
Than Lime Does the Work.
Some interesting experiments and re-
searches into the ability of water to ex-
ercise a destructive influence on iron
pipe. which have recently been made
in Europe, have yielded results not gen.
orally expected. reports the Philadel-
phia Record. 1t has been ascertained
that waters continuing little lime,
but an appreciable quantity of dis
solved carbonic acid. were observed to
exercise a solvent action upon the iron.
and the course of the action was traced.
A known quantity of iron filings was
placed in each of three vessels, which
river water. and the same water after
carbonic acid has passed through It for
few minutes. and after the addition
Of sufficient lime to just neutralize the
carbonic acid. The vessels were sealed
by mercury from contact by the air.
and after the lapse of a certain time the
iron dissolved in each case was deter
mined. In the first case the water
had dissolved about 0.0003 per cent;
in the second. o.o2 per cent. while in
the third only traces of iron could be
discerned. The water in the second
case was clear. but on standing ex-
posed to the air ferric oxide separated.
1t was therefore inferred that waters
containing carbonic acid and very little
lime dissolved iron as ferrous carbon
ate. The latter is then decomposed by
the oxygen of the air, and ferric oxide
is deposited and carbonic acid formed.
The latter can again attack the iron.
and thus water containing little car
bonic acid may have a powerful &C.
tion upon iron pipes.

The exact amount netted the Post has
not been figured, but will be between
$3.50 and $500. The bicycle contest en-

SHOCklNGLY INJURED.
Cylinder Head Blown Out With Disastrous
Results to a Fireman.

Cylinder Head Blown Out With Disastrous
Results to Fireman.
Friday night about midnight, as the
towboat B. D. Wood was passing Meals
Island, few miles below this city, one
of her cylinder heads blew out with
terrific force, carrying with it the
piston rod and head. The heavy mass
of iron tore through the wall of the
engine room and struck Fireman
William Lee, who had just stepped
into it's path,
Lee was picked up unconscious and
seemingly a mass of bleeding gashes
and broken bones
The tow of barges was tied up at the
bank and the boat returned to Parkers
burg as soon as her disabled engine
could propel her, to get surgical aid
for the injured fireman.
One of the injured mans legs was
broken in three places, and the other
in two places His left leg was broken
above the knee and above the ankle,
both bones being fractured in the lat
ter case. ALI three of the fractures Of
the right leg were above the knee.
There was also cut on the right eye,
a cash three inches long on the back
of the unfortunate mans head, and
there were severe contusions of the
right shoulder, elbow and side. From
the pain he complained of there is rea-
son to suspect that some internal in
jury was also sustained by him.
Lee remained on the boat till Satur
day morning, when he was sent on the
train to the Marine Hospital, at Wheel
ing. He is a married man with fam
lily of six children, and his home is in
Allegheny CITY.
