The Future OF Our Legs.

Professor Yung of the University of
Guef. Switzerland, entertains great
fears concerning the future of our
lower limbs. This sage is of the opin-
ion that within the next thousand
years human beings will have forgot
ten how to use their legs, and that
these limbs. if evolution will not do
away with them, will serve as mere
ornaments to the rest Of the body.
Professor 1ung states that at the
present age human beings show a de-
cided aversion to personal or physical
lOcomOtiOn, and this is more manifest
every time new automatic travelling
instrument is invented and rendered
practical. Steam. electricity. cable
power and the different velocipede ma
chimes all bear an influence over US
and create a dislike for walking, and
the future generations will likely have
the convenience of Siderable airships
mobiles at their doors, and these con-
veyances will be so cheap that almost
every one can own them, and this
means the doom of our legs.
The latter will be regarded as super
fuous appendages, no use will be made
Of them, and who knows but that they
may disappear altogether? But so
much more will our arms develop in
length and strength. These are the
cruel laws of evolution, and it will be
due 70 their FRANKS that future gen.
erations will again resemble the apes.
There will come another epoch of short
legs and long arms.

Package Worth $4,000 Disappears.

Chicago, Aug. 21.-Somewhere
between Chicago and Burlington, Ia,
an express package supposed to con-
tain $4,000 is alleged to have gone
astray. The Commercial National
bank of this city sent the package to
the agent of the Burlington railway a
few days ago on orders given from the
Burlington quarters in this city. The
money was sent by the Adams Ex-
press company. When the money was
expressed from the Chicago bank it
was wrapped in the usual way by
which money is transmitted In due
course of time the Burlington agent OF
the railroad received similar pack
age, but it contained nothing but
brown paper.

Apretty Floral Miracle.

1.-THE most magnificent floral effect
I ever saw In my life, :" said Robert n.
Wilson, of the Morgan Line, to a
Baltimore reporter, was in Texas.
They have flower there called the
rainfiower, the botanical name Of
which is the cOoperia. 1t usually
blooms three or four days after q rain.
1 was through the country to look
after some land for o friend, and the
thing that struck me In that particular
locality was the utter barrenness of the
whole landscape. There was a low piece
of land of 10 acres Or more, that was
covered with low, black vines that
were decidedly uninviting. Four hours
later, after a heavy til under shower, [
passed this piece of land, and it was
absolutely covered with what seemed to
me to be the prettiest flowers 1 have
ever seen. II was one enormous
bouquet, and the fragrance from it was
almost Intoxicating.
81 could scarcely believe the eviden-
ces of my own eyes, but there it was,
what seemed to be an unsightly waste
transformed as II by magic into bower
of bloom.
81 made inquiry of the natives, and
learned that once in a long time the
rAinflower bloomed in few hours after
a rain. though ordinarily the blossoms
did not appear for three CIR four days,
and then usually came in the night"

THE PHILADELPHIA TROUBLE
Delehanty and La Joie Refused to Play
Against Montreal.


Philadelphia, Pa, April 18-The crisis
in the difficulty between the Philadel-
phia club and some of it's players was
reached Monday, when Delehanty and
I-ajoie refused to play in the afternoons
game against Montreal Following the
refusal of the men to go on the field
when the game began, Manager Shett-
slime said:
L offered Delehanty contract for
81 400 and another one for $500 as CAP
tain of the team Delehanty objected
to the extra on the ground that he
wanted $4,000 for the season, and that
If he was displaced as captain at any
time he would receive only a part of
the additional 5000. I spoke to Colonel
Rogers and he told me to go ahead
and do as [ saw fit. Then I told Dele
hanty would guarantee that he would
receive the entire sum of So 900 for the
season of 1900. He refused on the
ground that might not be manager all
season, and 1 then offered to make the
additional contract read that he should
receive the extra $500 no matter in how
many games he acted as captain. This
did not suit, either, for Delehanty then
wanted his players contract to read
s., coo. which could not be done. as the
National Leagues limit is $2,400'
Concerning Lajoie, Mr.. Shettsline said
the club had offered the second base
man $1,000, the same as he received
in 1899, but that Larry refused to sign
unless he received SO, 900. Delehanty, in
discussing MS SIDE or the case, said:
Il object to signing anything but a
straight National League contract. I
don't want any added clauses, such as
in the 1900 contract. AS to the matter
of salary, the Philadelphia club knows
what I want I'm so disguised that if
I could &c = good paying position in
any other edsiness I'd quit ball playing
altogether, and. what's more, I'd give
a guarantee never again to put on a
uniform or even see another game"
The P6iladplOhia p1nh has sign cd Rprt
/ Myers to play third base. He played
| with the Springfield club last year.

EXIT OF MINERS.
CoIored Men and Families Leave Kan
sas City For New Mexico.

Pittsburg, Kan, April 1S.-About $50
miners and their families from Yale,
Nelson, Fleming and Litchfield came in
to this city Sunday afternoon from the
adjacent mining camps. where they had
been employed at some of the big
four companies shafts
These miners and their families were
given an opportunity to go to union
mines in New Mexico, where they would
be treated with respect by the Union
Mine Workers there employed, the
u. NJ. W. A. recognizing no distinctions
of creed or color in their membership.
The representatives of the union had
been at work quietly at the non-union
shafts for several days inducing these
people to retrieve the error they had
made in coming to Kansas to help the
big four to whip their fellow wage
workers. They acknowledged that they
had all they wanted of the big four
and would be glad of an opportunity to
get away.
Arrangements were then made with
the Ration Coal Co. of New Mexico, who
are needing miners at their new shafts
at Gardiner, where the work is abso-
lutely new and plenty Of it assured and
where they will have an opportunity to
build UP a town all their own in every
way. The town is a new one on the

Effort to Keep a Railroad Out of
Bondholders' Hands.

Toledo, Ohio. April 1s.-sylvester H.
Kneeland, former president of the To-
ledo, st. Louis & Kansas City railway
filed a petition in the federal court here
today, seeking to prevent confirmation
of the sale of the property to the first
mortgage bondholders. Kneeland asks
that the sale be set aside, alleging that
Messrs Armour, Quigley and Have
myer, three Of the company's directors,
entered into a conspiracy in 1893 to
wreck the property by buying rolling
stock which could not be paid for with
out defaulting on the first mortgage
bonds. The petition alleges that the
three directors named bought a ma
jority of the bonds and secured the
property. and that they used the bonds
to pay for the road, in order to freeze
out Kneeland.
Judge Thompson will hear the petit
ton late this afternoon. Before it was
filed the court overruled a motion by
certain creditors to set aside the sale
of the road on the grounds that a
higher price could have been obtained
for it than was secured.

FREAK OF LIGHTNING.
Imprints Cedar Tree in Red Upon a
Junction City Boys Body.

LFrom the Junction City Union.1
About p. m. Sunday Eddie Bishop
and Willie Peeso while on Jefferson in
the vicinity of Tenth or Eleventh, had
an electric shock that stunned them
for several minutes. Eddie had been
out to deliver a telegraph message, and
Willie accompanied him. They had two
umbrellas, but were walking with their
arms around each other when the shock
came. Eddie fell on his face and Willie
backwards. Their umbrellas were torn
to shreds.
Eddie was first to recover, and at
once began to howl, which attracted as
sistance. The boys were finally gotten
out from under the influence OF the
shock late in the evening.
There is an interesting phenomenon in
connection with this case. Willie Peeso
complained of hurting on the side Of
his abdomen, and finally upon investi-
cation it was found that the picture of
a cedar tree stood out in bright red on
the skin. Mr.. Peeso went to look over
the ground where the boys fell, and
found the cedar tree, the likeness of
which the boy carries. 1t will be in
teresting to watch the development Of
this picture.
