He explained that the committee had no
desire to delay anyone in the erection of

thing in connection with the granting
of permits done regularly.

Reflection Of Sound.

In some of the large cities of Europe
the principle of the reflection of sound
IS very ingeniously employed in locat-
ing the position of inaccessible obstruc-
tlons in the pipes of the pneumatic tube
service. Thus. when pipe is construct
ed a diaphragm that is SO thin as to
vlbrate instantly under the force of
sound wave is attached to the end of
the pipe and connected electrically
with chronograph in such a manner
that when the diaphragm vibrates it
Will close the electric circuit and regis
ter on the chronograph. A pistol loaded
with blank cartridge is then fired into
the tube through an opening Just below
where the diaphragm is placed. When,
therefore, the shot is fired, the sound
wave causes the diaphragm to vibrate
and registers the exact time on the
chronograph. The sound wave will
travel along the tube until it meets the
obstruction and will then be reflected
back. On this reflected sound or echo
returning to the end of the tube it
causes the diaphragm to vibrate again
and make another registration on the
chronograph, which by this simple op-
Grafton will correctly indicate the exact
interval of time required for the sound
to travel frCm the end of the tube and
back.

Good Rules For Living.

Much of late has been written about
the various kinds OF food which partic-
ularly nourish or supply the waste Of
the brain. That the labors Of the brain
are exhausting to the animal economy
is very true, but the experience of the
studious has proved that it is not SO
much the Intensity of the study as the
length of time spent on it and neglect
OF relaxation that produce the exhaus-
tion. German students generally study
more hours than we do here, yet break
downs very rarely occur among them.
The reason of this is they take better
care of the body for the sake of the mind
of the house because of the tenant
that occupies it.
The real fact is that the majority q
us rust out rather than wear out. That
the brain is affected both by the quail
lty and quantity of the food and drink
like other parts of the body-perhaps
more III proportion to the amount of
blood it contains-no psychologist will
deny. But that there are certain kinds
OF food-say fish and milk, as some
have maintained-which are specially
adapted to repair the exhausted brain
has never been actually demonstrated.
Ihe best way to preserve the brain is
above all not to unduly tax it, to eat
temperately Of such food as has been
found by experience to agree with the
stomach, to avoid late suppers and
night work and to sleep as much as ma
ture requires. New York Ledger.

A Welcome Change

In the condition of an enfeebled system,
desponding mind and impaired diges-
tive apparatus is produced by the SUI
preme tonic and corrective, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The nervous system
of delicate persons invariably lacks
tone. This the Bitters is peculiarly
adapted to supply, since by invigorat-
ing it tends also to tranquilize the
nerves. This benign result it effects
through the medium of improved diges-
ton, and the establishment of regular
ity in the bowels when they are dis
turbed or obstructed. The stomach is
soothed and strengthened, and the sys-
TEN fortified by it against naalign eli
matte influences, and after unwonted
fatigue, both mind and body are re-
freshed and their energies renewed by
it. Persons whose vocations require
severe physical or mental strain will
find it matchless compensator for
diminished vigor.

Through the energy of the w. j..
Healey Hard dware Co. shooting tour
nament has been arranged to take
place in this city on October II, l3 and
IA, a very handsome catalogue and
program of thirty-six pages having just
been issued from the press of the Mitch
ell Printing Co. to advertise the event.
Not very many tournaments have been
held in this vicinity during the past
few years and MIR. Healey has received
much encouragement from the sports
men in this section to make this event
a grand success. The program has
been extended TO cover q period of
three days, with seven shooting events
each day. The shooting will commence
promptly at o'clock exch morning and
clay pigeons will be exclusively used in
the contest. The fair grounds, q mile
east of ,own, have been engaged and
will afford q splendid place for holding
the tournament. The pigeons used in
the contest are not alive nor have any
resemblance to the flying pigeon, as
some would naturally suppose, but are
made of clay and are colored black and
yellow. When the pigeons are placed
in the trap and it is sprung the pigeons
go sailing through the air at rapid
rate and it takes a good marksmen to
break the object. The sportis exciting
in the extreme. The prizes given by
Mr.. Healey for the various events are
made up of cash and merchandise, the
latter being quite valuable and in
the aggregate run into quite sum of
money. The tournament will no doubt
be largely attended and at the close
grand duck hunt is being arranged for.

Women are not the only ones who
are sensitive about their ages. A man
doesn't like to be told that he is getting
old. Health keeps man young. 1t
doesn't make any difference if he has
lived eighty years. If they have been
healthy years, he will be hale and
hearty and won't look within twenty
years as old as he is. Good digestion
and rich, red blood make people look
youthful. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
crl Discovery makes rich, red blood. It
makes health in the right way. It
works according to the right theory,
and in 30 years of practice. it has prov
ed that that the theory is absolutely
correct. 1t begins at the beginning
begins by putting the stomach, liver
and bowels into perfect order, but it
begins its good work on the blood be-
fore it finishes with the digestive sys-
tenn. It searches out disease germs
wherever they may be and forces them
out of the body. All druggists keep
the "Discovery."

ESCAPED BEING KILLED.
Neal Wheaton Narrowly Escaped Being
Sent into Eternity.


Sent into Eternity.
An unsteady hand or faulty aim
just saved Neal Wheaton from bad
wound or being pushed off into eternity
at A Aberdeen the other day Mr.. Whea-
Ion is Milwaukee brakeman and is
we'll known in this city. The Aberdeen
News of Friday tells of the incident as
follows:
Gus Eder, alleging himself to be a
dutch carpenter" and socialist and an
archist, with penchant for chiseling
off the face of humanity. made an unpro-
voked assault late yesterday on Brake
man Cornelius Wheaton, better known
as "NeaP' Wheaton, in r. 81. Woods
saloon. Wheaton was engaged in CONVEX
satlon with an acquaintance when Elder
entered and threatened to kill him, at
the same time calling him all manner
OF vile names. Before anyone dreamed
there was occasion for interference,
Eder whipped out a revolver and took
a shot at Wheaton who was standing
but few feet distant. Luckily his aim
was bad and Wheaton escaped unhurt.
The latter then knocked Eder down
and disarmed him. and later Eder was
taken into the presence of Police JUS
tice Ellis and held to the circuit conrt
in bonds of $500 for making an assault
with intent to kill. He could not, of
course. furnish the bond and 80 went to
Jail, where he will have a golden op-
portunity to cultivate his anarchistic
tendencies.

GREAT PROFICIENCY.

Mrs. Nichols Music Class Gave a spien-
did Entertainment SATURDAY Evening.
The audience which greeted Mrs.
Nichols music class in its frs. pubic
recital, at the Congregational church
Saturday evening. was greatly pleased
with the efforts OF the little folks.
The stage had been prettily arranged
with flowers and draperies and at the
appointed hour the class came in and
took their places on the platform.
Mrs. Nichols had everything arranged
SO that the program moved along with
great smoothness. except when the
electric ligh went out and lamps had
to be substituted. The work of the
little folks, in the way they rendered
their selections, the expression and the
time, was splenuid tribute to their
instructor, whose acknowledged ability
in this direction could have had no
better endorsement. The older pupils,
in which class Misses Maud Hager,
Jessie Walrath and Dotie Weller
figured, played some selections that
showed their ability we'll, and made
good impression on the audience.
Miss Gertrue Becker and Miss Flor
ence Gregory assisted in the program
by each singing soprano solo, both of
which found great favor with their
hearers and each responded to an en-
core. The following program was

to history as possessing lives of great duration

due simply to the then great knowledge of the

Grape Sugar Works Building at Peoria
His, Completely Destroyed.
Peoria, Ills. July "a. = The main
building OF the Peoria Grape Sugar
company was completely destroyed by
fire last evening. The loss is $40 900,
the total insurance carried being $780,
900. of which nearly 100000 was on the
burned building and contents. Nego-
tiations have been in progress fer some
time for the transfer of the company
to the new glucose trust. but it is not
known here whether the deal had
progressed so far that the loss falls on
the new combine or the original com
pany. The works are owned by a cor
poration in which the Drake estate.
st. Pau1. Is the principal stockholder.
Samuel Woolner, Of Peoria, is secre-
tary and treasurer.
The fire broke out at : o'clock in the
sulphur room. apparently with an .ex-
plosion. The factory shut down Sun
day because of the coal famine and only
enough steam was made to keep up the
fire pressure. The sprinkler system
worked promgNy. but the explosion had
filled the basement with flames and
nothing could be done tc stop it. The
eight-story building. 10 by 20 feet was
a mass of flames in five minutes and
was completely destroyed, the walls
soon falling in. 1t contained a great
deal of very valuable machinery, the
vacuum pans alone costing $4,000 The
works employed 400 men and used 15,-
600 bushels of corn a day. They will
be rebuilt as soon as possible.
