Senator Tillman is ambldextrous.
This is an accomplishment OF which
no other statesman In Washington. 1t

the gallery, the Senator's performance
OF writing with beth hands at the

Is marvellous. He doesn't often give
an exhibition of his double-action
photographic skill 1t is apparently
only when two great thoughts come
into collision in his brain and strug-
gle for the right OF way, or when too
much steam is put on his cogitating
machinery, that he seems to feel called
upon to scribble with both hands al

A Plea For Rest.

We are really fond of Kentucky and
the Kentuckians. 1t is great State.
and it's citizens are, as rule. square
men, dead game sports, and marksmen
who would command respect among
the Beers. We do wish, however, that
they would not give us so many SEN
sations in one season. The November
election filled us with excitement; the
attitude of Colonel Henry Watterson
and Hon. 10 Blackburn constituted a
jar of no mean proportions; the long
suspense over the count covered us
with goosefiesh; the murder of Goebel
was a dreadful tragedy--dreadful be-
yond all words. though not at all as
tonishing under the circumstances.
For months we did not even have time
to pant in peace. One horror succeed
ed another in bewiliering succession;
anxieties and alarms trod upon each
others heels; each morning brought a
new and darker fright. We gasped
like lizards on a Louisiana fence.
And now, just as we had begun to
persuade our hair to lie fiat, and were
on the point of resuming the even ten
or OF our lives, here comes the an
nouncement of fresh outbreak of the
terror. We have news of further dem
onstations and hairbreadth escapes, of
midnight vanishings and moving acci-
dents by flood and field. Grim gentle
men, instinct with homicidal purpose
and literally hung with deadly weap-
ems, start from every bush. There
are furtive sallies and tempestous for
ays. We hear of masquerades and
shrewd theatrical tableaux and
strange arrests and compromising doc
uments found upon the prisoners. and
so on through the list CT tragic possi-
bilities. And all this while nobody
seems to know who's governor, or who
is running the State. or where the
whole tremendous and confusing COM
plication is to end Really, our friends
of the Blue Grass District-not to
mention the dark and bloody ground
might give us at least brief period
for rest and convalescence. We all
love and glory in Kentucky; but.
speaking in the s.rictest confidence,
we should like to take a nap.-Wash-
ington Post.

New Kind Of Prairie Schooner.

To Bridgeport man belongs the
credit OF devising an original manner
of travelling across the continent In a
box car
Persons have travelled in box cars
before, but not like this man, who
passed through here this morning. He
wanted to go to California with his
belongings as cheaply as possible. He
leased box car for $3.50 He placed
in it his furniture and piano. He
added ducks and chickens, to be killed
for food, and COW to furnish milk.
He expects some of the chickens to
furnish him eggs. He has an oil stave

Victims Of the Democratic
100000 Conspiracy.

Louisville, March lS.---Mrs. w. L..
Hazlipp is critically i'll because of the
sudden arrest of her husband. The
idea that a conspiracy is on foot to try
to connect her husband with the assass
sination of Senator Goebel has so af-
fected her that her friends say she
may not recover, and may lose her rea-
son IL she does. Mrs. Cullon, wife Of
another of the prisoners. is also very
i'll, and was much worse today.
Extraordinary, and apparently with
out a shadow of justification as were
the arrests of Powers, Davis and Gull
lon, the arrest of Mr.. Hazlipp is even
more so. AS far as known no affidavit
accompanied the warrant that caused
the arrest of Mr.. Hazlipp. He was in
frankfort on the day that Mr.. Goebel
was killed. His name was never men
toned as that of man actively inter-
ested in the political situation in the
State. He is widely known as an ac-
complished gentleman,and is much be-
loved by his friends, who say that his
only crime is that he is a Republican
and happens to hold an Office. They
say that now every Republican in the
State is in danger, and that no one is
secure from arrest.
The only evidence at hand against
Mr. Hazlipp, if this can be called evil
dence, is that an employe at the asy-
lum is said to have said that another
employe at the asylum knew some
thing about the assassination. On this
pretext he was arrested and is being
rushed about the country, guarded by
detectives, and is in danger of being
deprived of his liberty for some time
to come.
Secretary of State Caleb Powers and
Captain John w. Davis spent quiet
night at the Jail. Captain Davis was
visited this morning by his wife, who
has come down frcm Frankfort to be
with him, and Judge w. H. Yost was

Wis.
County Attorney Polsgrove, of
Frankfort, was in the city yesterday,
and he said that none of the accused
men would be given hearing until
all the militia had left Frankfort. As
militia are liable to be in Frankfort
for several weeks. no matter how the
question of offices is decided, this is
considered to be a mere pretext to
keep the men in cells as long as possi-
ble
The accused men are growing very
tired of their enforced confinement
They all claim that their only crime
is that they are Republicans, and that
they are to be punished by long Jail
terms. as it is certain that no cases
can be made against them.
The air is full of iumors of more ar
rests and it is plain that the 100000
appropriation has attracted attention
everywhere. More than twenty pri-
vate detectives are in the State, work
ing independently of eachs other and
responsible to no one, trying to secure
evidence against somebody strong
enough to entitle them to part of the
reward

Skin Grating With Film Of
Egg.

Indianapolis. March 10.--The second
successful operation of skin grating
by using the skin or inner Aim OF new
ly laid eggs has been accomplished at
the city hospital here by DIR. w. V.
Morgan and other physicians of that
institution. The subject is Scott
Smith, colored man, who was horrib-
ly burned about the face. neck and
shoulders by the bursting OF coal oil
lamp. The raw surface could not be
cured by ordinary means. and after
several physicians had applied restor-
atives in vain, Smith was removed to
the hospital. DR.. Morgan secured some
newly laid eggs, and the skin or film
was applied, and it was only short
time before the good results were APP
parent. In ten days the film of the
egg was united securely to the flesh
and the wounds were perfectly healed.
An interesting part of the operation
from scientific point of view, is what
|
A microscopic examination shows that
the skin of the egg is now a part of
the skin of Smiths body, but 1t re-
mains white. while the other skin is
black. The blood circulatcs through
other parts, but is yet an open ques-
tion whether the pigment which col
ors the negro's skin will enter the new
skin and also color it. So far there is
no evidence that this will result, for 1t
has remained as white as it was when
first applied
Smith is in mortal terror for fear
that feathers will grow out of his face
and neck where the egg film was ap-
piled. He examines the parts every
hour in the day to see if there is any
evidence of quills, and never fails to
ask his physician for opinions on this
subject as often as they examine him.
Some joking remarks made by the
physicians in course of the operation
caused the patient to conceive such a
thing possible and for several days he
had to be watched closely to prevent
him from removing the film.
1t is said here that the only other
successful operation of the kind ever
performed was in a Brooklyn IN. "

WAS SHE DESERTED?
Principal in the Famous Mott wat-
son Case In u had Light.

Cedar Rapids. Sept. 21.-For some
days there has been in circulation in
Marion a sensational rumor concerning
the marriage Of George Watson, the
claimant in the now celebrated Mott
Watson will case at Maquoketa, who on
September II secured license of Clerk
Bowman to marry Miss Anna l.. Bod
kin, of Maauoketa. The story had Wat
son desert his young bride on the .av-
enint of their wedding, leaving her at
a hotel in Marion without their bill be-
ing settled.
The Gazette has received the follow
ing from its correspondent at Maquo-
keta:
Mrs. WATSON denies desertion at
Marion and says that her husband APP
prised her by letter from Cedar Rapids
that owing to meddlers he was going to
Kansas City to enlist in the army and
return TO the Philippines, where she
could join him by Christmas"
Young Watson has had very check
cred career. A soldier in the southwest
during the days in which he is said to
have remained the unknown heir OF
Mott Watson, he caused the greatest
sensation in the history of Jackson
county three years ago by his sudden
appearance in the city of his nativity,
where he employed some OF the most
able attorneys in eastern Iowa to at
tack the Will of Mott Watson who died
a bachelor possessed of property valued
at about 100000. Both in the district
and the supreme court he was defeated
and now stands no hope of ever claim
ing dollar of the estate OF the man
who he claims was his father.
The sequel of the romance detailed
above viii be watched with much in
tarest by the thousands who have READ
young Watsons side of the will case.
There are many Jackson county peo-
pie who believe the young mans story
knowing Mott Watson for half a CEN
fury, but if he deserts Anna Bodkin he
might as Well remain in the Philip
pines. is evident that there is mig
ger in the Woodpile somewhere, for
Mrs. Watson does not deny that Wat
son left her in. the hotel at Marion
without the usual ceremonies of such a
long leave taking. claiming that he
wired her from this city that owing to
the meddling of others in their affairs
he was going to the Philippines, where
she could join him later on.
