ARTIFICIAL LIMBS.

If there was any one business that
the probability of war enlivened and
encouraged it was the trade in arti-
fetal limbs Whatever fond hopes OF
financial gain were raised by the for
nal opening of hostilities were
smashed long ago. Surgical skill has
so increased since the civil war and
the caliber and speed of the bullets
have been so changed that the number
of limbs amputated has been very
small indeed. 1t has been declared
that out of nearly 100 wounded men
who were treated in Bellevue hospi-
tai there were only two amputations,
and that out of more than 100 wound
ed men at Governors island not one
lost a limb. A manufacturer of arti-
hcial limbs said in point not long ago
that the number of limbs made 10
supply needs caused by the existing
war would not make the slightest
impression on the trade, which is kept
comfortably busy supplying the de-
ticiencies of those who have been hurt
in railroad and other accidents.-New

SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

Oil and other liquids can be drawn
from cans without lifting by means CT
a new attachment consisting OF
rubber bulb to be screwed on the TOP
Of the can to pump air inside and in

MRS. DIGGS DEFENDS IT.
Regards Fusion as Both Honorable
and Desirable

ANY action on the part of the Popu-
lists which would tend to destroy the
alliances of the last state campaign
would be reprehensible to say the least
said Mrs. Annie L. Diggs in discussing
fusion today.
7 have no sympathy with the asser-
lions made by some of our people that
the time has come for the Populists to
refuse 10 enter into a combination with
other forces for the purpose of over
throwing the political elements which
are working, not in the interests of the
people. believe that the time is ripe
for US to declare that there are but two
camps. One maintained for the cor
porations, the other for the people. In
the latter ] believe that all the political
Clements opposed to the common enemy
should establish themselves.
THE sole consideration as related to
fusion is one of loss or gain. Fusion
per Sc is neither moral nor immoral; it
is simply a method to be pursued, a
route to be travelled toward a desired
end. The Peoples party came into ex-
istence to accomplish certain things. If
by reason of securing the aid of allies
those aims and purposes can be more
certainly and speedily attained, then
by all means the right thing, the wise
thing, to dc is to secure such aid.
The Peoples party in Kansas has
never won q victory without the votes
of Democrats. If it be 'unprincipled to
countenance fusion by way of recogni-
ton on ticket the same lack of prn-
Clple NltlaJeS the votes cast in the pal
lot box.
Il do not pretend to say what the
next Peoples party convention will say
on this point. 1 only say for myself
that I am not surprised that the Dem
ocrats of Kansas, knowing that their
votes carry Populism into place and
power, feel that they should be honor
ed by recognition on the ticket I have
no sympathy for the ungenerous spirit
and temper of some Populists who in
effect say, Vote for US, you Democrats;
go into the secluS. on of the lonely booth
and cast your vote in silence. You
are good enough to aid in getting a vic
tory for US to crow over, but keep shady
about it; don't presume to ask US to ac-
knowledge the truth in broad daylight
Now I am not saying that 1 am positive
that it will be worse or better to fuse
upon the state ticket at the next con-
Vention. I do not know yet; it will all
depend upon whether Populism will lose
or gain votes. No Democrat would
wish to go upon the ticket if by SO do
ing he would ALLEVIATE sufficient voters
to bear the ticket to defeat. On the
other hand I would far rather one or
two Democrats of high character and
ability should be placed in Office than
that Populism in Kansas should suffer
entire defeat

SEARCHLIGHT PHOTOS.
William A Eddy's Pictures of the
New Years Eve Celebration
in City Hall Park.

New York, Jan. 6.-What are said to be
the first night photographs ever success
fully taken with the aid of searchIghts
were made during the New Years eve
carnival in City Hall park by William A.
Eddy of Bayonne, N. J., who has been
very successful with kite photographs
His position during the carnival was on
the third floor of the Postal Telegraph
building.
1t was found that snapshots and short
time exposures resulted in three blanks,
and fourth one of two seconds was very
dim, showing the search and electric
lights only. Later prolonged exposures
revealed the fire works. the lights in the
governors room in the city hall, the
crossing bars OF light from the search
lights, the wet pavements, and especially
the brilliantly illuminated shield and an
Choir on the city hall front.
One of the singular results of the long
exposure of the negatives was the pictur-
ing of the thousands of people only in
places where the crowds did not move.

Troy. Kan. Jan .6.-Wheu Cyrus Le-
lands attention was called to ex-senator
ingalls, letter he said:
There is nothing to be said; it's just
ingalls,, that's all. Many people in the
east think that so far as Kansas is con-
cerned, Ingalls, is the whole thing. and
they expected him to be sent back to the
senate when the Republicans came into
control again. But the people of Kansas
thought otherwise as is evidenced by the
fact that he got but three votes in the
senatorial caucus which nominated Bur
ton. ingalls, had long been politically
dead, but the distressing fact never dawn
ed on his mind until then Consequently
he is very sore on myself and the gentle
men mentioned in connection with me in
this article. Why did he remain passive
for six weeks after the St Louis conven-
ton? Who could have told where he stood
at that time? It's only Ingalls,; the arti-
Gle is characteristic of the man.
