claimed, we believe, by the MARSHALL
town people, that he had Cedar Rapids
and Dubuque on the string at the same
time.
ut is probable that the whole gist OF
the controversy will be made plain after
awhile. We trust very sincerely that
our city fathers have not been investing
in any gold bricks. and we imagine that
anyone can congratulate Mr.. Hill on
his earning capacity. At Dubuque he
was the expert for the water company,
and If we remember the testimony
rightly, was able to make cut very
good case for that corporation. Should
his views as expressed in Dubuque be
duplicated here we fancy the council
might probably lose some of its child
like faith. But expert testimony is not
an invariable entity, and all types of it
have come to be discounted. AS rule
you pay your money, and you get what
you want. But it seems to be different
at Marshalltown.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mr.. Spencer and Company in '.Paui
knmvnrs

Mr.. Spencer and Company in sPaui
kAuvar.'
A very capable company, headed by
Mr.. E. r. Spencer and Miss Isabel Pen
gra, came to the Odeon last night, pre-
senting Paul Kauvar,'' a piece well
known as a story of the French revolu
ton. The audience was not large, but
was very appreciative. The only I'M
favorable criticism to be advanced was
in the tendency of the leading charac-
tiers to overdo their parts. Mr.. Spencer
is an actor of considerable talent, and
could better afford to devote his ener-
gies to something that has not been
worn out by mediocre companies, as
Kauvar has been. Miss Pengra, though
possessing the qualifications to make
name for herself, has been spoiled in
her earlier schooling. and fails to appre-
ciate the necessity Of saving her ener-
gies for the crisis of each act. She
works entirely too hard and taxes her
voice where quiet grief should prevail.
The supporting company was up to the
average and the special scenery and
costuming were appropriate.

That City Has Had Little Experi-
ence With MIR. hin and His Bill.
The Cedar Rapids council had in its
employ, at the same time that Mar
shalltown had, water expert, Mr.. Hill
by name. The Cedar Rapids council
has paid Mr.. Hills first bill. and the re-
fusal of the Marshalltown council TO do
likewise has caused the Republican to
sphilosophize thusly:
ut would seem that the city
council of Marshalltown is not animal
ed by that gentle and confiding spirit,
toward water works experts character
istic of the powers that be among the
city fathers in this town.
1T will be remembered that the Ce-
dar Rapids council employed Mr. Hill
of Cincinnati, O., to make some inquir-
les and Investigations in most trust
full and child like spirit. They We're, it
would seem. perfectly willing to take
Mr.. Hills declarations eX cathedral
without inquiry or question, shadow OF
reasonable doubt, or anything else.
They have already paid him $3.50 for
services. Just what these services
were did not appear in the official re-
port. with any degree of minuteness.
Having allowed this bill, they forth
with contracted for $1,000 worth of
service at the rate of $50 day, which
service being rendered has not yet
been made public. The public has been
given to understand. however, that ev-
erything that Mr.. Hill has done is all
very good, and worth the money, albeit
the city is hard up for cash to pay cur
rent expenses and has been compelled te
drop some men who We're earning about
81 so day.
Not so the city fathers of Marshall
| town. They have had Mr.. Hills serv-
ices, but he has not yet received his
pay. 1t seemed that Mr.. Hill discernee

The Girl Wife Held by the Indian
Agent and Compelled to Go

The government authorities in charge
of the Sac and Fox Indian reservation
east of this city in Tama county are still
having trouble in the efforts to compel
the Indian boys and girls to attend the
school provided for them. One phase
of the trouble has now got into the
Marshall county courts and one of the
young bucks has resorted to habeas

of his young wife.
These efforts at compulsory educa-
ton at the reservation caused several
of the Indians to get into court short
time ego, one OF the Indians having
been arrested on the charge of kidnap-
ing girl. The runaway couple was ar
rested end brought back. but the court
discharged the brave. The government
has inaugurated the policy of having
white men appointed guardians for the
young Indians. Then the guardians
claim the authority to compel the at
tendance of their wards at the govern
anent school. This system has stirred
up considerable feeling, if all reports
are true, and now, contest is to be

Indians than does the husband of one
of the girls. The case is quite roman

Good Enough For Millionaire Healey
of New Mexico.

James Healey, the millionaire cattle
king of New Mexico, is an extraordinary
man, whose counterpart can scarcely be
found anywhere. He possesses land, cat
tie and copper properties worth upward
of 81 ,000, 900 any day in the week, yet he
lives in rude board shanty that could be
duplicated for $50. His annual income
nowadays averages $4,000, yet he
spends less than 5000 of it on himself.
He owns thousands of acres of land in
the fertile spot of New Mexico, and still
he lives no better than, not even so well
as, a good part of the ignorant Mexicans
he employs to help herd his cattle. His
wealth and his income are greater than
that of a large part of the individual
members of Americas most notable vota-
ries of fashion and elegance. still he has
no knowledge of what power his great
riches would WELD in other peoples
hands. He has not been farther away
from his range than to Kansas City in
over 35 years.
Healey makes his headquarters and
home in a pine shanty ON the southern
edge Of his great range, about 35 miles
southwest from Cerilios station, on the
Santa Fe route. There he sleeps in a

and made for the forest. For some years
afterward belated travellers, while cross
ing the pines, heard and saw it. The
pine folks, whose experiences were even
more terrible, attributed to it supernatu-
raj powers such as possessed by the black
witches of English folklore.
1t turned the milk sour, lamed horses in
their stalls, dried up the cows, made scar
the Indian corn growing in the fields.
Accompanied, as it usually was, by the
bowling of dogs and the hooting of owls,
there could be no surer forerunner of
disaster. Where the pines line the sea-
shore it fitted from one desolate, grass
grown dune to another, watchful upon
those wild nights when merchant ships,
driving their prows into the sand, burst
asunder and distributed their freight of
costly goods and human souls upon the
relentless waves.
Upon such occasions Leeds devil was
seen in the companionship of beautiful,
golden haired woman in white, or yet of
some fierce eyed, cutlass bearing, disem-
bodied spirit of pirate who two centu-
ries ago had befn wrecked upon the shore
OF Cape May county as, plying from the
Spanish main, his galleon had gone to
destruction. Again this same son of sa-
tan shared his haunts with a headless
seaman whom the Barnegat people say
Captain Kidd decapitated and whose
stiffened trunk that very pirate king left
standing as a sentinel of his buried ill
gotten gold.
At other times Leeds devil, like bird
of prey, lowered over a silent, star be-
spangled pond in some silent recess of
the cedar swamps, blasting with its foul
breath the lives of hundreds of fishes,
found floating next day upon the surface,
tainted and unit for food. Again the
dreaded fend half ran, half flew through
the shadowy vistas of the pines, while
before it to their coverts hurried pan
ther and deer, rabbits, squirrels and wild
song birds.
The habitat of Leeds devil included
the entire pine forest which extends
from Freehold, in Monmouth county,
through Burlington, Ocean and Atlantic
to the upper part of Cape May county,
preferring the lonely roads through the
cedar swamp region, but frequently it
made nocturnal onslaughts upon the
frontier villages, playing havoc with the
stock and farm crops as it went. One
tradition has it that it was particularly
active during the Revolutionary period,
but one more distinct is that it was ban
ished for century and did not reappear
until about 60 years ago.

| Irs diameter The hard surface, in other
words. is but so miles in depth, or about a
one hundred and sixtieth of the diameter.
An orange has a thicker skin than the
| planet upon which we live. 1t would be
an easy matter, therefore. for this great
mass of molten earth in its effort TO get Il
breath, as it were, of oxygen, to burst
hole through this delicate shell of hard
| ened earth. The earth in rotating has a
| centrifugal motion which would tend TO
make the crust at the poles thinner and
| weaker than anywhere else. 1t may be
seen, therefore, that the earth in cooling
may have kept this vent constantly open,
| and if at any time it became closed up it
would be possible for the great interior
force TO open another vent at the same
place.
1t will occur TO every one that since the
world contains such an immense body of
molten matter protected by so thin a
sheet it is curious that it does not at
times break through, devastating enor-
saeus sections of the eartk's surface.
The theory of the existence of these great
polar chimneys makes the present stable
condition of the earth seem the more con-
eeivabIe Instead of the earth being cap
ped with the eternal fields of ice it seems
! probable, therefore, that they are the
immense safety valves of the earth.
What, then, is the condition of the poles
of the earth? Even if it be proved that
these world chimReys exist, the effect on
the polar regions still remains mystery.
Mr. Harrison believes that this escaping
heat may have served to transform the
polar section for considerable area into
hand capable of sustaining some form Of
vegetation and even of supporting ami
NAL life. This section, if it exists, would
be circular in form and surrounded by a
sea formed from the water from melted
icebergs. The open polar sea, of which
there has been SO much speculation, can
be readily accounted for on this theory.
The opening into the earth itself may. be-
sides, be surrounded with geysers and
similar formations.
The theory which Sims urged was that
the opening was a veritable funnel
through which poured enormous volumes
of oxygen, forming huge vortex which
swept everything in its path inward to
the very depths of the earth. If this
theory be true, vast funnel of air sever
al miles in extent is constantly sweeping
down, sucked in by the internal fires of
the earth, which no human force could
ooptond with

Wa. Beaten on Purpose.

Mr.. Labouchere, in a recent number of
Truth, tells a good story about a legal
friend of his. The person concerned is
not significant, but the episode throws an
interesting side light on British politics

The lawyer in question, although a
master in handling judges and juries,
was afraid of the house of commons, to
which he had recently been elected. His
continued silence had begun to excite re-
mark. A matter was coming under dis
cussion which involved a good deal Of
law. Labouchere said to him: IF you
like, l will get up and speak against the
government view. You must jeer at me-
l will complain of this and suggest that.
as you are az eminent lawyer, you should
express your objections articulately. Then
you, having prepared your speech, must
get up and crush me-"
This was arranged. When Labouchere
laid down the law. his friend laughed.
