Stanton paymaster general of the
army.
There has been some delay in the
paying of the oluntee troops. partly
owing to a shortness OF paymasters.
From this time on. however. the troops
will get their money regularly and
promptly. My department has already
paid the expeditions 10 Cuba and the
Philippines up TO date, and II is rap
idly disbursing the cash due to the
men at Tampa, Camp Alger. and other
points of concentration. Within three
or -four weeks everything will be in
thorough running order. and the SOL
diers at home n abroad will get
their pay every month. One cause Of
the delays which have occurred has
been that the troops assembled at one
rendezvous or another would not be
mustered in for some time after reach

gin until they were actually enrolled IN

years ago. One good woman of the

huge pile of plaiding, which she had
spun from her sheep, in the crouper be-

MAY BE THE MISSING LINK.

That Mysterious and Useless Organ of
Man, the Vermiform Appendix.
A distinguished paleontologist claims
to have discovered facts serving to show
that the vermiform appendix, that mys-
teriously useless organ that has annoyed
the human family so much of late
years, is no more nor less than the rudi-
mentary remnant of the gizzard with
which he believes. the monstrous pro-
genitors Of man Of the tertiary period
Of the earth's existence were supplied.
Some Of these gigantic creatures, lizards
in form, birds in kind, animals in some
functions, are believed to have devel-
oped by the gradual stages described by
the supporters Of the theory of evolu-
ton into the semblance Of human be-
ing.
If the bird form be the original Of the
human race, it is reasonable to believe
that it may have been supplied with a
gizzard, which in the bird of modern
time possesses definite and important
function in the digestion of the food.
The bird having no teeth the food is in
many cases swallowed whole. Some
birds can crush the food with their
beaks, but normally the digestion is
permitted largely through the agency of
the gizzard, where the food is ground
into fine PARTICLES The interior coating
OF this organ is rough and muscular
Many birds swallow, as far as the giz-
zard, small pebbles that aid the process
Of attrition. Thus if the latest theory
be correct a curious paradox is present.
ed. Whereas in the beginning, as now,
the. gizzard performed it's functions
most satisfactorily when supplied with
indigestible substances, it's rudiment
that now remains in the human struc-
ture becomes center of dangerous con-
ditions as soon as any foreign substance,
and especially any hard matter, is de-
posted in it.
some years has been this strange sac in
the upper intestines, apparently with
out the least function in the digestive
system and capable of being removed
without affecting the health OF the pa
tient save to a favorable degree. Re-
searches have revealed many traces Of
such rudiments in the human system.
Darwin's studies brought to light many
resemblances between man and the
lower orders. It may now be that the
despised vermiform appendix will be
exploited as the real missing link

Several years ago there lived in Gin

To show that it was not Influenced
by the sound of the factory whistles and

on the part Of this animal is vouched
for by the superintendent Of the line,
who gave me these data: On certain
occasion, during musical festival, this
mule was transferred to the night shift,
and the very instant it completed it's
fiftieth trip it started for the stables. It.
took the combined efforts Of several
men to make it return to it's duty. At
night there were no bells or whistles to
inform the creature that 1T 'squitting

trips, and having finished it's full quota

ner Of man he is We had fine crew,
some Of them as powerful men as ever

NO CHICAGO PAPERS.
Publishers Refuse to Deal with the
StereOtypers' Union.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The situation between
the striking stereotpypers and the publish
ers of Chicago remains practically un-
changed, and probably no Chicago paper
will publish before Tuesday morning at
the earliest. The publishers held a con-
ference this afternoon, when it appeared
that the number of stereotypers on the
way from various parts of the country was
very satisfactory. 1t was, however, deter
mined that no attempt to issue tomorrow
would be made. The publishers are conf
dent that by tomorrow evening they will
be sufficiently well equipped to resume pub
LEGATION Tuesday, but with the papers some
what reduced in size.
A committee from the Pressmen's Union
waited on the publishers to-day, asking for
opportunity to act as a committee of
Cancellation, but the publishers refused alb
solutely to have anything to do with the
Stereotypers' Union in any way hereafter,
declaring that none of its members would
be permitted to 5rk in any of their offices
again. A special train from Milwaukee
over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railroad came in tonight bringing extra
editions of Milwaukee evening papers TO
partially supply the demands of Chicago
readers. The run was made in one hour
and thirty-five minutes, nearly mile
minute, and the papers were disposed of TO
eager citizens almost as soon as they APP
Deared on the street.

STOCK YARDS BUSINESS
LARGE INCREASE IN SIX MONTHS IN
HOGS AND CATTLE.
Now on a satisfactory Financial Ba-
sis-SOme Statistics from the
Packing Houses.

The following is statement of the bust
ness done at the stock yards in the first six
months of the present year. as compared
with the business of the first half of 1897,
as furnished by Traffic Manager Graybill.
The statements show that in the six months
ending June 80 there were received at the
yards 1852, 044 hogs, against 597,044 hogs for
the corresponding six months of 1897, show
ing an increase this year of 165 900 hogs.
Cattle, 6S, 500 head against SO 042 head in the
corresponding period of last year; increase
this year, 4657 head. Sheep, 23,S4S head,
against % $50 head in 1897; decrease this
year, 4,17 head Horses, 1856 head,
against 6,4Ss head for the corresponding
period of 1891; increase this year, Lass head.
This is the largest volume of business the
Indianapolis stock yards have ever en-
joyed in the first half of the year, and the
present management is more satisfac-
tory to the stockholders of the company
and to consignees and shippers than at any
time in the twenty years the yards have
been in operation. Beside making consider
able improvement to the property the man
agement has put the business on salts
factory financial basis, and the business Of
the next six months promises to be even
more satisfactory than that shown by the
above report. The selling of cattle for ex-
port, which is departure made in the last
few months, has been decided success.
The shipments at the yards in the six
months ending June 80, We're 959 1922 hogs;
2692S head of cattle; 14,O64 sheep, and 1851
head Of horses.
