MARvELs OF LIQUID AIR.
They Will Be Exploited at Peoples
Church Monday.

Experiments demonstrating the COM
bustible power of liquid air viii lhe made
by Prof. Foster next Monday evening at
the Peoples church, ~>when he lectures
for the Y. M c. A. A considerable
spiece of cow@hair- felt will be shown to
be practically non-combusdble@ when or
binary fire is applied to it It will then
be saturated with liquid air, when it Will
burn -fiercely. Prof. Fosters assistant
dips a tumbler of water into liquid air
long enough to secure thick coating Of
ice, which, 'whepr removed, makes an
ice tumbler. In this ice tumbler will be
placed a quantity OF Ythe liquid air and
then a burning carbon immersed The
carbon burns with a fierce heat, estl-
mated to be close to 5000 degrees above
zero, while the liquid air, which sur
rounds it, remains at about 30 degrees
below zero, and the ice vessel in which
the experiment is being performed re-
mains at about 80 degrees above Zero.
The marvel Of this experiment is that
while it takes about five minutes for
the carbon to burn up at this intense
heat, yet the liquid air keeps the Ice
tumbIer so cold that it does not melt.

SNOW And HIS MONEY.
BANKRUPT SAID TO HAVE CON-
CEALED HIS ASSETS.

M Doran Jr, referee in bankruptcy,
has announced his intention of bringing
to the notice of the grand jury the case
Of Walter e. Snow, who has filed a Pc
tition in bankruptcy, together with an
affidavit stating that he had no assets
and could not obtain the $l5 necessary
for the application and fees.
Snow, who is an electrician, filed his
petition in November, and, at the first
meeting of his creditors, is said to have
stated that he had no assets. At the
same time he admitted that he had re-
ceived $500 during the months of August
and September from the estate of his
mother, who 6ied in Maine.
This money he made over to his wife.
without consideration, besides giving her
$500 with which to purchase jewelry.
The wife was brought into court, but
the attorney for Snow successfully raised
the point that she could not be made to
testify against her husband.
Shows admitted liabilities in his APP
plication in bankruptcy are $3.50. His at
torney has been notified of Mr.. Doran's
intention TO bring the matter before the
grand Jury.

LARSON WINS HIS CASE.
He Sued for Salary Earned ON Police
Force IN 1894

Judge Otis yesterday rendered his de-
cision in the case of Olaf Larson against
the city. The plaintiff, who was former
ly a police officer in the employ of the
city, sued for wages from June II to Oct.
g. 1894 He received judgment in the sum
OF SITS, with interest at Z per cent, from
October, 1894, together with all costs and
disbursements of the action
In, his complaint Larson stated. that he
had been appointed to the force In 1881
and was made a sergeant in 1887 He
continued to serve in that capac ty until
June IA, 1894, when he was removed by
the mayor. The assembly did not con-
cur in his dismissal and he nominally
continued to hold his position until Oc-
tober when his star and other parapher-
MALTA Of office were taken from him
lnasmuch as he was able and willing to
perform all his duties from the me
when the trouble arose, until he was
finally discharged, he claimed to be en-
titled to full salary for that period. This
amounted to SILL.
The judge found that the statute of
limitations barred any claim prior to
August, 1894, and awarded him salary and
interest for the remainder of the percd

Murdered ollie O'Deu
Nov. 20.

With ELUSIVE and laughing farewels,
Arthur Cupps and Ole Gustad left the
central police station last night FOR Stan
ley, Wis, in charge of ". s. Tufts,
sheriff of Clark county.
The young fellows are charged with
the murder Of Ollie O'Dell, a fast wcm-
an, who was shot in the doorway of her
resort, near Stanley, at . o'clock. on
the morning of Nov. n.
Cupps' wife and tSustaFs paramour
were inmates of the murdered woman
resort, and it is alleged that the two
prisoners left st. Paul on the evening
before the murder for Stanley, were seen
to get off the train at Stanley at Hat p.
m, and start up the railroad track to-
ward the ODell .womans resort. Two
hours and fifteen minutes later the
woman was murdered, and eight hours
later the young men were in st. Paul.
Cupps and Gustad were seen by

noon Leaning against the bars Of his

cap tilted back on his head, Cupps was

his chances, he blandly replied:

ct know it looks bad for us, but we
can prove that we were not in Stanley
on the night of the murder; SO wnat can
they do?''

night before that you were going to Wis

to go if I could get the money I had
coming. But 1 could not get it, so
didn't CO.
Did you pawn your revolver the morn
ing of Nov. 27?'
'T pawned a revolver Nov. %, and a
few days later took it out, as I had a
chance to sell it. On the morning of
the 9th 1 sold it to the pawnbroker.'
Where did you meet your Wife?'

that 1 could make money by taking the

could. and then go to another town. We
landed in Stanley about two months ago
and 1 was broke 1 went to Ollie
O'Dell and arranged to have her take
in. the two girls. 1 stayed around there
for awhile and never had a better frien1

HIS FEET NERE RllDOUT
PLAINTIFFS IN DAMAGE CASE
COULD NOT SHOW THEM
TO JURY
VERDICT AGAINST THE CITY
Olaf Larson Secures Judgment on
Long Standing Claim for
Wages Earned on PO-
lice Force.

''May it please the court, we will now
put in the plaintiffs feet as exhibit,
said Attorney w. w. Allen, addressing
Judge Kelly, in the district court, yes
terday afternoon.
Il object" said Mr.. Morton 3arrows,
on behalf Of the other side.
The learned judge pursed his lips and
considered the question for a few mo-
ments, and then sustained the objection,
on the ground that the plaintiff had neg
lected to avail himself of a previous SIM
liar invitation extended by the other SIDE.
The curious jury was therefore denied
the unusual spectacle of a claimant for
damages parading for the inspection
pedal eXtrelnities, more OF less injured
by a heavy piece of wood having fallen
upon them from a height of sixty feet.
The case was that of Henry Fogt
against Houstain Bros. In July last,
when the plaintiff was working for~the
defendants at building an elevator for
the Hamm Brewing company, near the
brewery, a careless laborer let fall a
large piece of scantling from the top of
the almost completed structure. 1t struck
the feet of Vogt, who was standing be-
low, and one of them was crushed bad
ly. The case was tried in the III trict
court, and the plaintiff was awarded
damages to the amount of $1,000. The
supreme court reversed the decision on
Instructions of court land the case is
being tried for the second time.
Toward the end of the afternoon hear
ing yesterday the plaintiffs counsel call
ed DR.. Benepe in rebuttal Of certain evil
dence offered by the defense. An o5jec-
ton was raised and sustained; then the
ingenious lawyer offered to place the
feet of his client on exhibition for the
edification OF the jury.
In the event of the exhibit having been
permitted it is a matter of surmise as
to whether the plaintiff would have been
required to take them off and have the m
filed as exhibit marked A or b. as the
case might be-
The case will probably continue all day
today.

Judges Jaggard and Bum We're busy
yesterday morning hearing divorce cases.
When they had concluded hearing evil
dence, three wives had secured tae;r
freedom, and one husband was compelled
to wait, on account of his action being

This was the case of Frank K.
Schuster against Mary Schuster. When
Judge Bum had heard the evidence Ct
the plaintiff he glanced over the pa ers
and discovered that the time for answer
ing the application did not expire until
Dec. 81, and he promptly orderel the

It appeared from the evidence that the

days previous to the ceremony, and the

after she had been Joined to the pain

SALARIES VARY TOO MUCH.
County Officials Should BE More
Evenly COMPENSATED.

Several local papers have printed arti-
cjes recently, purporting to come from
Public Examiner Pope, to the effect that
the salaries of county treasurers and
county auditors were too low and should
BE raised. Mr.. Pope says that an en-
tirely wrong impression has been con-
veyed to the public generally, and that it
should be corrected
What he intended to have conveyed was
the fact that the compensation of county
officials is very unequal. Comparative
figures show some really surprising
things, but Mr.. Pope says that proposed
legislation may ultimately be the means
OF correcting the giaring inequalities now
strikingly evident
According to Mr. Pope the only proper
way to base salaries is upon county val
uations. Following are some of the fig
ures prepared by him, showing variations
| in compensation in different counties. He
says that they are, to some extent af-
fected by the salaries of clerks, but are
