WILL Nor BE CONVINCED AGAINST
His WILL.-Gov. Rogers deems it
necessary to explain more definitely
than in his first letter. his reasons for
declining to meet with the executives
OF many of the States, at the request
of Gov. Savers, of Texas, in friendly
consultation as to the best means OF
meeting the issue of trusts now being
forced upon the people. The logical
conclusion from the premises of Rogers
former letter was that corporations
which form the trusts have a consti-
tutional right to live and that it
would be folly to fight through any
possible legislation while this right ex-
lists. Having arrived at this conclu.
sion, it was of course, unnecessary for
the Washington executive to consult
with anybody else, as to the best
means of combating the evil, and he
therefore concludes his explanation
with the remarkable expression that
at is the duty of every man to care
fully and composedly set forth as he
has done] Nth supreme disregard of
the opinions Of others, auhat TO him
seems just and true" This he has
done; and he wraps himself up in his
mantle of egotism and lies down to
pleasant dreams. 1t is evident, how
ever, that there is an occasional wax
ing which starts up the goose pimples
OH his thick epidermis.

AS time rolls on to the quadrennial
election day, the latent feeling for re.
monetization OF silver and the renom.
nation of William J. Bryan, on a
straight Democratic ticket, become.
more and more manifest. There il
not the slightest evidence that the
white metal has a less number OF
friends than it had in 1896, when i,
received 100000 more votes than were
cast for and which elected Cleveland
four years before, notwithstanding
our Republican friends have so per.
sistently clothed in funeral vestments
and laid away to eternal rest the
money issue, and buried with SO much
apparent sympathy and solemnity the
aspirations of its champion, Mr.
Bryan. Even David B. Henderson
the man who the machine has selected
to succeed Speaker Reed, warns the
administration that the gold standard
is popular only in the East and is not
favored by Western Republicans.

Two more women in San Francisco
have been brought to the verge of the
grave from eating poisoned candy, sent
to one OF them through the U. S.
mails. A basket of candy cherries
was sent to Miss Campbell, and the
address seemed to be in the handwrit-
ing of Mrs. Rathom, and this suspi-
cious similarity is backed by the fact
that the husband OF Mrs. r. has parted
from his vile and has been for some
time very attentive to Miss Campbell.
Mrs. Louis Scheib, a friend of Miss c..
who likewise ate of the candy was
very sick, and both women's lives we're
for time in danger. An analysis of
the candy showed that it was, the
chemist affirms, charged With enough
arsenic to kill herd OF cows"

WHATEVER may be thought OF
Toney Wolfe as u man or citizen,
there is certainly no justification for
the contumcly hcaped upon him by
the local morning paper for pointing
out and handing over 10 justice man
who has robbed the pCopie ont of many
thousands of dollars, as will be the re-
suit Of his miStltcdS, unless more de-
termincd dfmand for settlement bv
the superior officer or his suretes is
made by those who are supposed to
guard the Treasury from such assaults.
Oily characteriles the reward offered
by the State and claimed by Wolfe, as
the price Of perfdy," which if true,
makes the State equally censurable for
its share in tempting poor erring man,
to acts of "perfdv." The majority of
people believe, however, that it is
meritorious act, duty of citizenship,
to aid i'll executing, and indicating
the laws, when broken; and in this in
stance, as in all other known cases of
violation of law, it was the duty of
any American citizen possessing
knowledge of the hiding-place OF fu-
gitive from justice to aid the proper
officers in placing him in custody.
Any other course would certainly be
compromising felony, which even
hatred of the present informer would
not justify.

The organization committee OF the
League OF Bimetallists' Clubs of the
Ohio Valley have sent out circulars to
all the States, inviting the Democrats
to meet at noon Thursday, July 20, at
the Palmer House, Chicago, to devise
plans for a more thorough organiza-
ton, especially in Ohio, Indiana and
Kentucky. The circular concludes as
follows: "The committee is inviting
to this meeting Democrats all over the
country who are known to favor the
readoption Of the Chicago platform OF
1896, without an omission; and who
are opposed to anything in the nature
of a compromise or a recession as to
any principle involved in that plat.
form. The league, which appointed
this committee, is particularly and
primarily interested in the cause OF
bimetallism at 16 to l, and will work
especially for its advancement"

FIN DE Steele BIGoTRY.-Dr. Zahm
an eminent scientist in the field OF
ethnic research, has been ordered by
the Pope to suppress his late great
work entitled Evolution and Dogma"
This is an exhaustive treatise along
similar lines of thought pursued by
Darwin, Spencer and Huxley, during
the latter years of their lives. 1t has
been translated into many of the
continental languages of Europe. A
few months ago, its translation into
Italian was begun by an eminent pro.
fessor of Pa!aontology and Natural
Science. but the author did not use
kid-gloves when trying to harmonic
certain statements in the Douay Bible
and the pointing of Gods finger in
the book of nature, and hence comes
this censorial ultimatum from the
Holy See. Well, the world does
move - but backwards, sometimes
just as it did when the Pope imprisoned
Calico for declaring that the earth re-
vOlved around the sun.

body vaudeville theater with ca
pacity of 1000 people will be placed !;
in two of the legs winding staircases,
and the remaining two electric ele.
vators, will afford means of iugress
and egress to the beast" Another
scheme is to construct q whale of iron
and steel, to be known as "Jonah's
Theater," to be anchored in shallow
water, in which theatrical perform
ances will be given. Dainty ferry
boats will ply between the shore and
the mouth OF the fish in which the
"box-otfice" is situated, at which re-

sumably the exact point the biblical
first submarine navigator once spent
three sleepless days and nights under

Liquiii4d Air Again.

Notwithstanding this new force has
lo"n sh"rn II many of the cxtrayagant
claims nad" for it in the cxuhcrancy
q carly !oI'm,r;, it /, not the flat
failure which the criticisms OF scicn-
ti~'~ have led many to believe. The
man p'iA; "a attack was the claim
that thc i""cr l. lca-od 10y liqui;a, tiun
81 all WI cumulative in It's extent and
cN"'''''l that employed in condcnSing
the air to a liquid state. This, ii true,
would reverse one OF the principles OF
scientific discovery that has been 50
we'll established as to lie reduced to
axiom that tho created cannot he
greater than the creator. The mo-
m"nt ms barrier is removed, that De-
lnSINr cAmcra, perpetual motion, be-
c"mr> possible, upon which probably
NOR" "N,H :m"ntal study has been cx-
i'rl ''t; ji..I nr"n any other form oi
physics.
The dispatches state that Chicago
has lately had Il dem 1nstration OF the
Feasibility of transporting liquitied air
for long distances and that, it is
claimed, disposeS OF all doubts as to
the commercial value of the new dis
covery and makes it possible that
within short time the wonderful fluid
will be manufactured all over the
country for use in operating machin.
cry and other purposes.
The fluid shown in Chicago was
made in New York by DR.. Charles f.
Tripler, the we'll known scientist, and
was opened the next day in Chicago
in the presence OF number of scien-
fists. The pint that had originally
started was reduced to one-third of
that quantity but there was enough
left to demonstrate its wonderful
qualities and to arouse intense inter-
est. The potent power of the liquid
arises from its almost instantaneous
evaporation when exposed to the at
mosphere.
A quantity poured in a saucer, the
account says, disappeared Immediate
ly, and a hand placed over the mouth
OF the receptacle was so suddenly
chilled by the escaping vapors as to
feel as though burned. A cherry
dropped into the liquid was instantly
frozen so solid that it was broken into
small splinters like a piece of ice.
The inventor, DIR. Tripler, is fgur-
ing on building a plant for the manu-.
facture of liquified air on the Pacific
coast, either at San Francisco or on
Puget Sound, believing that he can
design motors that will use the article
with far more economy and efficiency
than anything else now used for that
purpose. Should it be the case that
the motors can be made lighter and at
the same time more efficient than
those now using stored electricity or
compressed air, great problem has
been solved and new field OF enter
prise opened. There is no end To the
uses to which it could be put and the
invention would speedily be hailed as
benefactor to mankind.

THE type founders inform their
friends, the printers, that an advance in
the price of type has become necessary
owing to the increase in price of type
metal. That looks as fair and reasona-
BILE as anything could be. The raise in
the price of type metal, of course, made
the printer think he would be allowed a
little higher price for the old type which
he ships to the foundry in part payment
for new. We read the announcement
through twice very carefully and failed
to note that the raise in any way applies
to anything the printer may have to sell
the founder.-Er.
The increase in the price OF type.

Some Gigantic Fossils.

I through the courtesy Of the Sccrc-
tary of the Union Pacific Railroad,
the STANpAEp is in receipt of little
pamphlet just published hy that COM
rany, entitled, "Some OF Wyoming'>
Vertebrate Fossils
This is a neatly executed work OF
thIfty-cisht pasc5, profuscly illus
tratcd and giving i'll Il popular style
the geological history Of the state OF
Wyoming. Many OF the illustrations
are full page engravings of animals,
now long extinct, but OF wonderful
form and prodigious magnitude.
Among other fossils the photographs
OF .fem"r or thigh bone is shown
measuring #. .! inches in length
ribs feet long and more than n foot
in width; a skull with inferior max
Hilary intact, six feet long an os pubs
i'll the pelvic region, 30 inches long
and several vertebrate measuring 13
and 1G inches across the centrum.
a femur now in process OF excavation
measures eight feet in length.
These were the bones of a gigantic
Din0sdur, an animal more than a
hundred feet long and standing be-
tween 80 and 40 feet high when
measured from the ground to the
summit Of his bow.formed back.
This creature could rest his fore feet,
armed with great claws, against q
forest tree and browse its foliage a
hundred feet from the ground. He
was creature somewhat akin to the
sloth of modern geological ages and
wholly herbivorous in his chosen diet,
eating what would have been eouiya-
lent to ton OF newly mown hay for Il
single meal.
Superintendent w. II. Reed, of the
University of Wyoming, now in
charge of the state excavation corps
gives the following graphic word
picture OF these wonderful creatures
that waggcd their tails, made love to
one another and reared their young,
some millions of years ago:
Gan accurate idea of II living
Dinosaur is practically out of the
question. According to my opinion,
/ should say that the animal now be-
ing brought to light weighed in life
about sixty tons, that he had a neck
thirty feet in length, and a tail per-
haps sixty feet in length. His ribs are
about nine feet in length, and the
cavity of his body with the lungs and
entrails out, would have made a hall
thirty-four feet in length, sixteen feet
In width, and arched over probably
twelve feet in height. Such n space,
If properly arranged, would seat at
least forty people. A round steak
taken from the ham of the animal
would have been at least twelve feet
in diameter, or more than thirty-fiye
feet in circumference, and would have
had solid bone in the middle I2xI4
inches, with no hollow for marrow.
A set of tours in cavalry could easily
have ridden abreast betweenlis front
and hind legs, provided he had not
objected. Every time he put his foot
down it covered more than square
yard OF ground and must have fairly
shaken the earth. The smallness of
the head of this animal is a peculiar
thing. l should say that the head of
this mighty Dinosaur was probably
not larger than ten-gallon keg. He
must have been very sluggish crea-
ture, as his brain cavity would GER
tainly not warrant the belief that that
organ weighed to exceed four or five
pounds.

1t is the duty of every man to careful
ly and composedly set forth with su-
preme disregard to the opinion Of others
what to him seems just and true.-J r.
Rogers.
That "supreme disregard to the
opinions of Others" is what has enkin-
died about all the strife in the world
and led to the horrors of many OF the
internecine wars. 1t was this "su-
preme contempt" of King George for
the opinions of the American colo
nists which led to the Revolutionary
war, and it was the same cause which
led the Spaniards to fire upon Ameri-
can merchantmen at times for years
before Uncle Sam finally concluded to
batter some of that "supreme disre-
gard" out of them. As vest pocket
Nero, Rogers would prove an eminent
success, had he score or two more of
sychophants like His Jags" to sneeze
when he takes snuff.
