NOT A NEPHEW.
Now Appears That Congressman
Reeder Did Not Appoint Relative

D. G. Hoover of Logan, Kan, has fur
nished an explanation of the controver-
sy which arose in the Sixth district over
the appointment of a candidate for
West Point by Congressman Reeder. It
was charged that Mr.. Reeder had ap-
pointed his nephew, Homer Smith, who
was third in the examination in prefer
ence to Rarick of Osborne, who stood
first. Mr.. Hoover says:
Homer Smith is no relation to Con-
gresham Reeder and there is no inti-
mate association between them. Smith,
who was first appointed, is a member
of a family of uncompromising Popu-
lists.
MIR. Reeder is in no way to blame

Examinations made by Topeka people
and by experts who have been sent to
visit the Colorado assayers and the al
legged mills, and assays made in Topeka
of the Identical shale gathered from the
fields by disinterested parties, all show
that no gold exists.
This should be a warning to all who
wish to make quick fortunes to be sure
they are right before they put any
money or faith in the Trego- Ellis mines,
or in real estate whose value is based
on alleged gold finds.
Everyone contemplating investment
should satisfy himself that he is not
buying coal hole" This can be done
by individuals, or an association of in
dividuals, and this is just what q great
many of the above named gentlemen
have done by special examinations and
assays and have decided Trego county
gold a big fake.
The investor" should beware of al
legged mill runs and of runs which
may be exhibited as producing ore ear
ly in the grinding of the mill, but which
will not hold out later in the history of
the schemes.
No more gold has been found in the
recent Topeka assays of plain unadul-
terated TregO shale than would be
found in Shawnee county shale.
The guileless Topeka people who
think they have found buried for
tunes have nothing yet to show. They
are still experimenting The same pro-
cess which is expected to get gold out
Of Trego shale, may confidently be eX-
pected to turn it out of the shale in the
bluffs of the KaW river.

Selecting Timber.

A German paper devoted to wood.
working interests states that in select.
ing timber it is of the greatest import.
anee to ascertain whether the tree
from which it is taken was cut in the
winter or in the summer; that which
is cut in the winter being superior
and having higher value The req
son for this is that trees have a resting
period between October and May,
during which time the cells contain
starch that is not found in the sum-
mer. The starch serves to close the
pores, making the wood close and i'm
penetrable, SO that winter-hewn tim
Der is used exclusively in making bar
rel slaves. To test the timber it is
covered with an idoide solution, which
from the well-known fact that starch
coming into contact with iodide pro-
duces a violet color, will give the tim
Der a yellow color, if it were cut in
the summer. On the other hand. a
tree hewn in winter will have series

Amusing Kno,vIe.lne.

Take a hard boiled egg and place It
on the edge Of a plate, holding the tfD
of the pointing finger lightly on the 9th
er end to keep it in position. Having
first wound light string around the
body of the egg, a quick spinning mo-
ton can be obtained by pulling the
string quickly. The egg will be seen
spinning for some time within the
plate. There is also another method of
standing an egg on end and making a
new Columbus discovery.
Instead Of making the egg spin on the
plate one can also chase it around the
room. like a top, by using a whip of
well twisted cord. As the egg will nee
essarily strike in some corner or crack
while spinning, one may use an arti-
fetal egg instead, such a one as is used
for darning stockings. This "unbreak-
abte" egg can be spun with all zest
around the floor as long as the impell-
ing force keeps up.

A pugnacious sparrow the other day
flew into the elephant house in the
Central Park menagerie, New York,
and began picking up the crumbs from
the table of the elephant then inside.
The mammoth and midget apparently
did not see each other for some time.
until the former, in shifting his posi-
ton, nearly placed his ponderous foot
on the latter. The fighting little speek
of fuss and feathers evidently accepted
his thoughtless act as a challenge to
battle, and at once flew in the ele-
plants face. The great beast looked
astonished, and, sending a small cy.
clone through his trunk, raised such
cloud of hay and dust that the bird was
lost sight of
When the air was cleared, the biped
was seen on the quadruped's back. A
shake of the elephants loosely fitting,
tough, though sensitive hide, frighten-
ed the little fellow, who hoped to the
floor and looked into the face of his
antagonist.
Thus they stood as though trying to
recover breath for a few seconds, when
the elephant reached out his trunk
towards the sparrow. The bird with
outstretched wings and ruffied feathers.
threw himself, with full force at the
end of the threatening proboseis. Then
came gentle blast of air from the
elephants lungs, and the sparrow was
blown against the wall of the house.
The little fellow, without even so much
as a parting look at his huge antago-
mist, mounted to the open window and
disappeared

SUPERINTENDENT PHILLIPS.
His Address Before Female College at
 Tuscaloosa.

pr. J. H. Phillips, superintendent of the Birmingham public schools, has returned from Tuscaloosa. where he delivered an address to the graduating class of the Tuscaloosa Female college on Wednesday.
 In speaking of Dr. Phillips address tho Tuscaloosa Gazette of yesterday has the following to say:
 "Dr Phillips theme was the Test Of Culture He took his text from Carlyle 5 words, Not what I have, but what l do, is my kingdom It was so scholarly, so thoughtful and so beautifully expressed it is not possible to give @ synopsis in so brief space. It was, however, full of practical wisdom, giving point after point that one could lay hold on and remember. He said doing was the test in culture, re- ligion, commercial life, indeed, in all ciY- ilization. It was not gifts, but achieve ments that made success. He used the an- cient symbol of triangle for the strength of soul, and likening the vertical side to in- tellect, the base of feeling and the hypo- thenuse to will. He showed how the in- tellect must not be cultivated to the sighting of the emotions and vice versa the will must always be the connecting re- Iation. Gods methods must also be used, he said, to bring about the divine likeness we ought to bear. The application to the graduating class was very forceful. h. deed, the whole address was powerful and eloquent and illustrated with striking fig ures. Dr. Phillips held his audience in rapt interest throughout the time he spoke.'

ties both of voice and manner. He is very easy and natural and unaffected in all things. He sings as if he liked to sing and his excellent enunciation and flexible voice is very pleasing. Occasionally his high notes have wonderful softness, and his low notes are always sweet
 The music last night did not include a severely classical number, but on the other hand nothing trashy or simply funny was given. It vas an evening of song and sen timent of sweetness and quiet charming beauty. Another recital would readily show Mr Thatcher how many friends he has made by standing by his ideals and re- fusing to do any clown business.

The old, old song. 70 Fair, O Sweet and Holy' was especially soul-uplifting. MT. Thatcher has no harsh notes, and in every respect pleased his auditors. Some may have expected an aria or two from some of Wagner's great works. but if such music had been given some of the lovely songs of last night would have been omitted, and no one present wanted any of them dropped out, even to make room for mu4ic from the great masters.

De Whiting walked into an open elevator shaft and was precipi- tated a distance of about eight feet. In failing Mr. De Whiting, who is quite d heavy man, struck cross beam, which broke the force Of his fall and probably saved hls life.
 He was soon gotten out of the opening, and appeared to be seriously hurt. He was bleeding profusely from a wound on his head and complained of great pain in his hip. Dr. NJ. N. Due was summoned and after a hasty examination 1t was found that the injuries were not of serious na- ture Mir. De Whiting was assisted to Dr. Dues office, just across the street, where his wounds were dressed, and where it was found necessary to take several stitches in the scalp. The injured man was then re- moved to his home. and at last accounts was resting easy.
 MT. De Whiting was a member the crew of the famous Confederate ship Ala bama, and his friends say that he is too hardy an "ofd salt' to let d little acc.- dent like that keep him long from his work.
