tence-Meyers Brings Suit Against
Lienemann g. Schmidt.
IS CONVICTED OF LIBEL

When court opened in Judge Clancy's
7 department yesterday morning. County
Attorney Connolly made a request for
an order citing S. NJ. Nixon into court
next Saturday to show cause why he
4 should not be sentenced to serve three
: months in the county Jail in accordance
with the verdict of a jury rendered on
! June II, 1897, nearly two years ago.
! Nixon was tried for criminal libel on
Z Judge o. S. Speer He had published,
y during the preceding fall campaign
when Judge Speer was a candidate for
reelection, circular which he dis
Y tributed himself, containing a most foul
and indecent attack on Judge Speer.
He was arrested for libel and an nfor-
nation filed against him on Dec. r.
After his conviction he was released on
bail pending an appeal. The appeal
papers were made out in October 1897,
! but were not sent to the supreme court,
\ and the appeal was never perfected. The
time for doing so has now expired and
Nixon will probably at last be COM
PEELED to serve his sentence in Jail.

Queer Notions About Tides.

From the Scottish American.
The tides, those mysterious pulsations
of the sea, have been the theme of curious
speculation ever since man began to ask
the reason of what he saw around him.
Many sages and clever brains in the ages
of the past tried to explain away the Pc
riodical ebb and flow of the ocean, and
many plausible, if erroneous ideas were
seized upon and used to solve the prob
lem, and some of the curious notions of
these old world philosophers are worthy

ALUcKY ACCIDENT.
How tho Art Of Printing from stone
Was Discovered.

Was Discovered.
One of the greatest discoveries ever
made was the result Of pure accident.
Il was in the year 1896. The citizens
of Munich had just witnessed the first
performance Of Mozart's opera, Don
Juan" The theater was deserted by
all except one man, Alols Sennefelder,
who, after making q round Of inspec-
ton in the building to see that there
was no danger Of fire, went to his room
to stamp the tickets Of admission for
the following day. When he entered
his room he had three things in his
hand--a polished milestone, which he
had bought for sharpening his razor;
ticket-stamp, still moistened with
printing ink, and a check on the treas
urer OF the theater for his weekly
salary. AS he placed the latter on
the table q gust Of wind swept 1t high
up in his room, and then deposited 1t
in basin of water Sennefelder dried
the paper as well as he could, and
then weighted 1t down with the whet-
stone, upon which he had carelessly
placed the printing stamp. When he
returned to his room the following
morning he was astonlshed at seeing
the letters printed upon the dampen-
ed paper. A thought came to him. He
wondered whether by some such means
he could not simplify his work of con-
tinually copying the songs Of the
chorus. He went out and purchased q
large stone, commenced making ex-
perlments, and, as we all know, final
" discovered the art Of printing from
stone--lithography.

hear the address, He said In part;
Jesus solved for Himself and His
friends the problem OF the relation OF
the idealst to existing facts. He was
the most radical of all idealists, but
He was also the most rational and
hopeful Of all men In His attitude to-
ward the wrongs he confronted. He
taught his law Of love rs tho cvolu-
ton Of all the past; us the solution of
all the present. He pointed to the
seeds OF regeneracy that lay within
every degeneracy; to the right that
was the reality OF every wrong; to the
good that was the substance OF every
evil; TO the truth that supported every
falsehood,
"There are many of us who have
widely different ideals of social meth
cd and organization, but who are all
reaching for about the same goal
that is, we all want brotherhood,
equality Of opportunity, and the JUS
tice of love for all men, But we are
not ready, as we ought to be, to help
each others movements toward right
eousness, and to join ourselves to any
thing and everything that aims at bet
ter society If we really have faith in

servatism or the idle and bewildered
waiting which our economic tyrannies

"But let me he specific. There are

A FIENDIsH FATHER.-John A.
Moore, of Hutchinson, Kan, murdered
his FIVE children early yesterday morn
ing and then set fire to the house. The
eldest child was twelve years old, and
the youngest three. Their skulls were
crushed with a Ratchet, and their
threats cut. At the inquest yesterday
Moore told of the burning OF the build
ing and said he was unable to rescue
the children. He denied killing them.
While the doctors were detailing the
condition OF the bodies Moore never
liinched. He is uneducated and of a
low type. The mother of the children
was away from home during the night,
pursing q sick neighbor. She can give
no reason for her husbands deed. Very
little is known of the Moores. as they
came to the city from Emporia but q
short time ago. They are very poor,
and the only theory for the crime is
that Moore Killed the children because
of the burden of supporting them.
The coroner's jury was oct only a
few moments and returned with a yer
diet binding Moore over to the District
Court on g charge of numbering the
children. The sheriff surrounded the
prisoner with o number of deputies
while the story OF the crime was being
told. The court room was cleared OF
all spectators as q safeguard against
violence. a large number of deputies
was added TO the force last night in the
event that a mob should be organized.
