EDITOR ARGUS: Az the curfew law
is attracting attention in all parts Of
the country, and reported successful
wherever tried, would 1t not be well
to make the experiment in Lewis
town? Some frivolous objections are
made, the chief me being that the
parent il the proper guardian of the
child and no law should interfere.
Children are wards OF the state, and as
such entitled to its watchful care 1t
i impossible for n child to be habitu-
ally on the street at night and develop
into n pure and honorable citizenship. A
wise parent will be glad Of n law
which purifies the social circle by
which his children areinfiuenced. The
school bell and the curfew bell are
equally justified as necessary safe
guards of public morals and pros
pective citizenship. X.

Ny Ecnow-cltlzenA, this contest OF
Yours in Ohio is no more n state con
test. &c is a national contest. Our
opponents ARE lighting OF national
grounds. They take their stand In
favor Of economic unrest, OF financial
dishonesty and Of national dishonnr.
We tale up the glove they throw
down. We meet them on every point.
We stand for a continuation OF the
conditions which have brought pros
perity to us. We stand for an intellt-
gent effort to wipe out any wrong
that may arise, without substituting
a teniuld greater evil. Finally, we
stand for uphOlding the traditional
American policy Of defending the
honor of the American people In the
face OF any foreign foe, and Of giving
free outlet to the vigorous and
Astounding strength Of the nation.
II we hiuch from doing our task in
the face Of the nations, il we flee from

our country, a page which our sons
and grandsons will read with bowed
heads.-Col. Roosevelt at Akron.

An Awful Mistake.

Winchester. Va, Jan. 5.-Stewart
Yeakley and Mortimer Buncutter, both
prominent young farmers, Residing near
here, accidentally drank nearly all the
contents of O. half pint bottle of muri-
attic acid late last evening and are now
thought ITO be dying. The men had
purchased the poison this morning at
a local drugstore to treat n sick horse,
and afterwards began drinking it..
When they started for home both
were in an intoxicated condition. On
the road Yeakey offered Buncutter the
bottle Of muriatic. thinking it was
whisky. The latter took n deep draugt
and fell unconscious. His companion
thinking him merely intoxicated, drain-
ed the bottle.
Assistance was summoned, but the
men are believed to be hopelessly lost

A special from San Francisco says:
Before his departure Lieutenant Hob
son drove to the park with Mayor Phe-
Ian. and there received crowd of
about 5000 persons. He made a twenty
minutes speech on the events of the
recent war; In the course of his re-
marks he deprecated statements in re-
gard to his kissing OF women in differ
ent cities he had visited.
81 have suffered deeply through
printed reports Of my actions he said.
These reports are untrue. It is a fact
that I have kissed in public some of
my relatives, and also children wlpA
have offered their rosy faces to me-.
But j cannot express too strongly my
feelings at exaggerated accounts of my
actions. I have thought Of making a
formal statement concerning this mat
ter. but fear that even this might be
misconstrued.'

DnnIei,. visltto Cuba.

a special from Washington says:
There is a good deal of speculation
as to the object OF Senator Daniels
visit to Cuba just at the time of the
turning over OF the government by the
Spaniards to the Americans. Some
thought it was to familiarize himself
with the conditions there, and particu
larly to ascertain the capacity of the
Cubans for self government: others
said 1t was to post himself thoroughly
before voting on the treaty OF peace.
and still others had altogether diff
ferent explanations of the object of the
Senator's trip. They were nearly all at
sea- Senator Daniel went down during
the holidays on a visit to his son,
Lieutenant John w. Daniel, Jr., of the
regular army. who is now on duty in
Havana. He is looked for at home in Il

THIS CLOCK RUNS A YEAR.
An Ingenious Device Which Is Almost
Perpetual Motion.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
A Kankakee county, illinois, man is
the possessor OF one of the most Won
derful clocks in the country. This
clock Is as near perpetual motion ma
chine as any piece of mechanism yet
designed. The owner Is not perpetual
motion crank. but is an exceedingly in
genious jeweler named Peter NJ. Raven
skilde. OF Cabery, a hustling town In
the southwestern portion OF Kankakee
county. The clock Is the product of
many years of study and labor and
considerable expense. 1t keeps accu-
rate time and will run for year with
out the least attention from its owner
The clock proper is run with a wheel
oixty inches In circumference. From

HYPNor1sM FOR DRUNKENNESS

HYPNOTISNI FOR DRUNKENNESS
New York Journal.
Hypnotism is now being used in the
treatment for the cure OF alcoholism.
DR.. Rybakow, a German physician. who
Is specialist in this line, and who has
tried hypnotism on many OF his pa
tients, declares that alcoholics are very
susceptible to hypnotism, and subject
themselves to the hypnotic influence
more readily than many other pa
tents. The favorable effect Of the
treatment shows itself in the improve
ment of the subjective symptoms, the
disappearance OF the depression, OF the
apathy, and, finally, in the complete
loss Of the thirst for alcohol. Some.
times one sitting suffices not only to
overcome the desire for the habitual
potion, but also to break Off an acute
attack.
BY repeating the sittings one may at
times delay the patients craving; the
Intervals, however, vary, depending en-
tirely upon individual characteristics
Complete cure by hypnotism, according
to the experience of Doctor Rybakow,
Is seldom obtained; reiapses also are
proportionatsly frequent. However.
other physicians report instances OF
complete cure by hypnotism. The du-
ration of the treatment depends espe-
cially upon the degree Of degeneration;
the milder the generation the more
positive and lasting the cure.

the other surface of the circumference
are suspended 40 cups, each one-half
inch in diameter. and third OF en- inch
deep. Each OF forty of these cups,
which are successive. contain steel
balls three eighths OF an inch in diam
eter. Every minute and half. as this
wheel turns by the weight of these
balls, one of them fails out OF It's cup
rolls down an inclined plane twenty
inches long. when, by its own weight,
1t reunites broken circuit Of electrici-
ty and Is again elevated by q little car
travelling along a sleeper inclined plane
to the top OF the wheel. where It falls
into a cup which stands vertical for a
short time.
After the car discharges its cargo it
returns to its original station from its
own weight. From the time one of
these balls is dropped into a cup until
1t is again dropped into another cup
1t travels thirty-six inches. Thus the
work done by all the balls is equivalent
to one ball travelling over a mile
day, 400 miles in one year. and dur
ing the lifetime one person living three
globe.
The electricity used is generated in
an ordinary storage battery which does
not require any attention for fully
year.
Another clock owned by Mr.. Ravens
hiiue is Oh u sirnilar construction, but
considerably smaller. This clock 9
used to attract attention to the store.
a porcelain globe is placed back Of the
clock. and at night, green, red and
white electric lights reflect their rays
alternately on the face OF the clock, the
tolors being changed each time the ball
is discharged from one of the cups on
the timepiece.
Mr.. Ravenskllde has had many Offers;
to exhibit his clocks. but refuses to do
so, and SO far he has not had the
mechanism patented.

(Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS
'"The average citizen has but little
Idea, and 1 fear less appreciation, of the
important work committed to the sani-
tary department. The conditions of
health and comfort which prevail in
our city are accepted by most of us as
matter of course, and but little
thought and attention is given to the
manifold agencies that conduce If they
do not absolutely assure this very de-
sirable condition of affairs Accustom-
ed as they have become to conditions
OF cleanliness uneQualed by any city in
the Union, they are in the main ignor-
ant of the almost infinite detail re-
CURED to maintain 1t. From personal
observation and inquiry and coirespon-
derrce t am TTepaTrd 10 9sseTJ, and to
sustain the assertion by abundant
proof. that this city goes further to
maintain a condition OF uniform clean
illness within its corporate limits than
amy city in the United States.
1T COSTS MONEY.
''To effect this result costs money
but 1t is money we'll spent. 1t not only
brings health and comfort to our
homes, but adds largely TO the value OF
every foot of property in the city
know of but one way by which the ex-
penses of this department can be re-
duced, and that is by the erection of
two or more central crematories. The
long haul made necessary by reason Of
the remoteness OF the present crema-
tory largely increases the expenses of
the department by requiring a. much
larger force to perform the necessary
labor.
EXPERIMENTAL CREMATORY.
Acting upon my own responsibility
have recently prevailed upon certain
persons to erect an experimental crem-
atory in n convenient place not far re-
moved from the center of the city. 1t
is claimed that this crematory will de-
stroy all the garbage of the city at a
nominal expense for fuel, and that 1t
can be operated at any place without
offense to adjoining neighbors. have
agreed that the city would for the pur-
pose OF the experiment deliver to the
crematory all the garbage required.
The construction of this crematory and
it's operation for such length of time
as may be necessary to determine it's
efficiency Is to be at the cost of the
parties referred to and without ex-
pense to the city. The structure is about
completed and will be ready to COM
mence operations within a rev days,
