The Evidence Against Nellis.

Sioux City dispatch: Evidence is
accommodating against Oscar Nellis,
who is charged with the atrOcious
murder of Mr.. and Mrs. Martin Shul'z,
at Cherokee, five years ago Mrs. Mel
lis has made a sworn statement to the
effect that her husband told her on the
night of the crime that it was he who
killed the old couple.
She says Nellis arose from his bed
and said he was going to rob the
ShultZ family. He left and upon his
| return told her that the old woman
recognized him, and followed him u
the door of the house. Then he killed
her to cover uD the robbery, and aft
erward he went into the house and
| crushed the old mans skull with a
club.
| Under the law Mrs. Nellis is not al
lowed to testify against her husband,
unless she is called by the defense.
Then her statement can be introduced.
| There is little question that in the per-
son of Nellis the authorities have at
least one of the murderers.
The 3-year-old child of Hile Shade,
of Beaver, was scalded so badly that
it died. The little one was standing
| on the stove ana the entire contents

NEW YORK, April 4.-The following

Dear Sir: Will you allow me
through your columns to attempt some
acknowledgment of the wonderful
sympathy, affection and kindness shown
toward me during my recent illness, as
well as the unfailing courtesy that
controlled it's expression. l am not

a debt I can never hope to repay.
Faithfully yours,

Just a. in the case Of practically
every great scientific achievement,
there has for some months past been
an active course of speculation in
various channels respecting the prob
able uses to which liquid air could be
put with benefit to mankind. The
X-rays came in for their share OF this
sort of discussion, much of which was
uninformed, some of it harmful to the
accurate judgment of the people, and
some of il suggestive. Liquid air has
been hailed as q great power agency
and as refrigeraht, capable in either
capacity of revolutionizing existing
methods. Later developments have
served to cast doubt somewhat upon
these sweeping claims. 1t is found
that there is serious difficulty in the
storing of the power, with an alter
native Of running grave risk of ex-
plosions or of suffering loss through
waste. Thus far little progress has
been made toward the general adop-
ton of the liquid for either purpose.
Meanwhile a new field for it has been
opened-that ofsurgery and medicine.
There is little doubt now in scientific
minds that this new agency will prove
OF value in many branches OF their
work.

Passenger Agent Drake, on his re-

The RicYcIe mhuInnce.

Without doubt the cycling novelty Of
invented by a Chicago policeman. 1t
is only necessary to mention few
points to show what a decided i'm
provement it will be on the present
style of vehicle for conveying sick or
injured persons to the hospital.
The bicycle ambulance requires no
outlay for it's support, which, in the
case Of the poorer institutions Of our
great cities, is quite consideration.
1t Is provided with tires larger than
those ordinarily used on the bicycle,
for the express purpose of making the
trip over the uneven streets of city
more comfortable to the patient.
The first of these ambulance ma
chimes, for although there has been n
so-called military bicycle ambulance
invented, this has never been a sue
cess, is constructed by utilizing the
framework and wheels of two dia-
mond framed tandems side by side,
and about three feet apart, the same
being connected by means of light
framework Of seamless tubing. the
whole being very neat in appearance
and detachable with very little effort.
The entire machine does not weigh
over 100 pounds. 1t can be easily op-
Grated by two men on an ordinary
road mt n speed Of ten miles an hour,
and can he controlled perfectly by
means Of the patent device that is
connected with the wheels and acts
as q brake at the Will Of the rider.

The Man.Eatjug Lion.

The man eater Is very different from
the ordinary lion that has not ac'
quired the taste for human flesh
Lions, as Il rule, are not such ferocious
and fear-inspiring animals as many
imagine them to be. They very sci.
dom attack any one unless they are
persistently pursued or have been
wounded. If they see person ap-
preaching them they usually prefer to
stink off into the jungle and hide in
it's depths. They invite no attack and
are willing man should go his way
il he will let them alone. But it is
very different with the man-eating
lion. 1t marks the human being for
it's prey, and killing mankind is its
profession. This is the reason it Is
very difficult to catch the man eater
in the traps that are set for it. "A hut
is reared with wide entrance and in
side n kid or goat is temptingly dis
played in such way that If the lion
tries to carry him off, the rope that
ties the intended victim will release
the door through which the brute has
entered 1t falls behind the animal
and it is trapped, and may be des-
patched at leisure. But nine times In
ten the strategem fails to work. The
king of beasts has not entered the VII
lage in the stiffness of the night for
goats or kids. 1t much prefers to dash
through the low doorway of habita-
ton and seize n sleeping man or wo-
man and then bound through the jun
gle with the victim in its powerful
Jaws, and IL in the morning the natives
are brave enough to beat the tall grass
around the settlement, they may find,
perhaps mile away, the bones of
their unfortunate friend.

Family Relic. From the Mint.

Eyes, we receive lots Of things that
we hate to see go into the melting
pot" said an old mint attache. Folks
all manner of heirloOms which are
bought over the counter for their
naked weight in gold or silver bullion.
Art or antiquity don't count at the
mint, and candelabra by Benvenuto
Cellini himself wouldn't bring more
the smelter. We get plate Of every
description, old watch cases, rings,
chains, snuff boxes, spectacle frames
and jewelry mounts without number.
In this section Of the south there are
several spectators who make a bust
districts and buying up all the old
gold and silver they can find. They
are experts in judging the fineness of
metal and they pay as little as they
can, so there must be big profit in
the trade. AS a rule the stuff they
bring us and that finds its way here
through other channels is old and
broken and uninteresting, but now
and then something Of rare artistic
value turns up in the lot, and we
would be only too glad to take it out
and make good the coin value, but the
law forbids. That, by the way, is no
doubt the very reason why we occa-
sionally get such articles. People
who are poor and proud would rather
have the identity of their relics lost
forever in the melting pot than run
the risk Of exposing their straits by
leaving them with the pawnbroker,
who would probably give them two
or three times as much. Silver bricks
tell no tales."-New Orleans Times

Unless something is done to de-
crease the present rate of cutting red
wood timber from the California
forests the supply will be exhausted
within the next generation. The red
wood is of slow growth, the tree not
reaching a marketable age in less than
fifty years, and then the timber is
only valuable for telegraph poles and
lesser uses of commerce, whereas if
the tree is permitted to attain it's full
growth it's timber may be employed
Tor any number of ornamental pur-
poses. The tree itself is particularly
beautiful and is found only in Cal
ifornia. where in maturity it is from
twenty to twenty five feet in diameter
and reaches height of from 100 to
400 feet. 1t is perfectly straight and
for nearly half its height there is not
limb. 1t lives to the age of !, 900
years; some writer's say 1900 years,
estimating from the number of rings
around the trunk. The timber is
largely used for wainscotings, panels
and ceilings, and being of smooth
grain readily takes fine finish. The
lumber is shipped to the eastern states
in large cargoes, also to Australia.
New Zealand, India and to other
parts of the world.

woman. Inhumanity to Man.

1t must be owned that there is too
much truth in 1t. Woman's inhuman-
ity to man is good deal In evidence.
The late Senator Morton Of Indiana
was, it will be remembered, an invalid
and a cripple. He came into COM
pany at the capital one day In a state
of great indignation because, in a
street car crowded with young wo-
men, not one had offered him seat,
and he had been compelled to make
the journey painfully and precarious-
ly supported upon his clutches. The
like of this may very often be seen.
Humanity, consideration for weak
ness and helplessness, is the root Of
which chivalry is the fine flower.
1t is stating proposition that
mans inhumanity to man Is less than
woman's, but the time seems to give
it some proof. At any rate, man evil
IDENTIFY disabled would not be allowed
to stand in a public conveyance in
which able-bodied men were seated,
even in the most unchivalrous par. of
our country, which have given some
reasons for believing to be the city
of New York. And, IL that be true,
1t seems that the assumption Of that
right of an able-bodied woman to re-
main seated while disabled man is
standing is an assumption that the
claims of chivalry are superior to
those of humanity. On the other hand,
it may fairly be said that the selfish
ness of women with regard to the
wayfaring man is more thoughtless
and perfunctory than the selfishness
of men with regard to the wayfaring
woman. In this country, at least, this
latter is in all cases felt to be vio-
lation of propriety and decency. The
native American feels himself to be
both ON his defense and without de-

A Subtraction, DISCRIMINATION.

Jim Frye, of Hustonville. tells this
of Jim Coulter, of Middleburg: One
day when Mr.. Coulter was ut Liberty
a very young man with very bald
head came into the hotel. He was a
stranger, and Mr.. Coulter, by way Of
commencing a conversation, said to
him:
my friend, | am not asking to guy
you, but would like to know how 1t
comes that so young a man Is so
baldy
ut was In this way" he replied.
"when my time to get hair came they
said there was none left but red; so
told them l didn't believe l cared for
any"
AS Coulter has very red head he
was satisfied to let the conversation
drop.-Stanford Interior Journal.

Some friend of the English sparrow
which so infest our cities, has started
the story that the expulsion of the
sparrows from Boston common has
been followed by an invasion of cater
pillars which are destroying the foil
age. The story fails through the de-
NAL that the sparrows have been driv-
en- of, and from the added fact that
the public experience with the spar
rows is that they will cover field to
pick off seeds and leave the cater
pillars and other insects to ravage
the plants around them. The spar
rows have driven away birds which
are wholly insectivorous and them
selves seek other food. They are a
