.ROBBER TOM GOODE.
His Body Identified at Quincy
Morgue by Ex-Mayor T.
J. MediII.
GANG OPERATED IN ROCK ISLAND.

Tools of Same Pattern Employed In Blow
Found In the Possession of the Trio, Two
of Whom Die in Their Tracks From Po
Iicemen's Bullets.
Thomas Goode, one of the robbers
killed by officers at Quincy, has been
identified by ex-Mayor T. J. Medill as
about the Black Hawk Building, Loan
& Savings association on the 18th OF
last October, and is believed to be the
man who engineered the plans for the
blowing of the safe in MIR. Medill s
office in the Bengston block at noon
on that day. Mr.. Medill saw Goode s
body Yesterday at the Quincy morgue.
His moustache has been removed, but
his features and hair are familiar,
while the tools found in the posses
sion of the gang at Quincy are similar
to those employed in the robbery
here, and the further fact that the
band seemed to have operated eXclu-
sively in building association offices,
convinces Mr.. Medill that Goode and
his pals were the people who got away
with the strong box in his safe and its
contents, $500 in jewelry and $50 in
cash.
Goode and his crowd robbed a
building association safe at Galesburg
last Friday night. They blew an as
ISOLATION safe in Quincy in February
of 1899, ard had returned to that city
last Sunday, evidently intent on
touching up the same safe again, as
on one of them was found diagram
OF the association office. GoodC was
about 80 years of aye. His brother,
f. w. Goode. Pittsburg detective,
came to Quincy for the remains. Mr..
Medill met and tall ed with the BROTH
err. Tom, he said, had been a way
ward son, and was undou btedly bad
man, and his family was not sur
prised to learn of his fate.
Goode the First to Die.
Goode was Swallowed Sunday night
by Detective Koch. The 1obber knew
he was being followed, and turned
suddenly on the officer, as if indig-
nant at his actions. Goode was asked
what his business was. and for an
swer reached for his revolver. Koch
followed suit and commanded Goode
to surrender, but he refused, and
three bullets were poured into his
body, and he fell dead on the side
walk. Chief of Police Ahcrn admin
istered the dose that laid out Charles
Prince. The chief and Prince met in
a hotel lobby. Prince realized it was
up with him, but determined to make
Il fight. and whipped out his gun, but
the chief was too 0uick for him and
sent a bullet into his head, killing
him instantly Harry Mcmillan, the
younger mem Der of the gang. tried to
escape, and was shot in the leg, but
not seriously hurt.
The Quincy police have received
kilograms from all over the country
them for breaking up
the gang. Princes body was taken
to Des Moines for interment by his
wife.

New Fad In Hair DRESSING

How fashions change! Not long since
there was fad for wearing one large
rose, with the hair dressed low. The
wreath of tiny flowers is an exceed
ingly pretty style. and the hair may
be dressed very high in the center. The
tendency Of hairdressing today is to-
ward negligee style. There is a
studied carelessness and grace. The
waves of hair at the back and sides
are full and in broken lines, rather
than set curls, as formerly, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. The curled
fringe bang is not nearly so popular
as a series Of full loose poufs, as the
Francois say, consisting of large
waves Of light rolled curls. A very
new method is to part the hair at the
side and bring it across the forehead
in loosely waving mass. The hair is
dressed very high for evening wear,
and If there Is not sufficient natural
hair, special coils, attached by a tor
toise-shell pin, are readily adjusted.
The coils and puffs must be very slim,
rather than broad as formerly.

Clothed with an Electric Skin.

Prof. Francis Gotch describes the
electric fish of the Nile, of which the
Egyptians made pictures thousands OF
years ago, and which still inhabltS the
waters of that river, as being provided
with an electrical organ that encloseS
the whole body. 1t is situated in the
skin, and when viewed with micro
scope, is seen to be composed of about
2.0OO.0 600 beautifully formed little
disks, superposed upon connected rows
OF minute compartments in which are
the terminals of nerves. The shock
is produced by an intense current
which traverses the entire organ from
the head to the tail of the fish, return
ing through the surroundings. 1t
stuns small fish in the neighborhood.
Professor Gotch likens its action to
that OF self-1oading and self-dis-
charging gun. The electromotive force
of the organ in a fish only eight inches
long can, he asserts, attain the surprls-
ing maximum OF 200 volts. A single
giant nerve-cell at the head OF the
spinal column is the source of the I'M
pulses which discharge the organ.

Serious Results May Follow CareIessness
OF Diet.
Women are VIGOROUSLY careless
about their own food. One could wish
that those who neglect the duty of
properly and efficiently nourishing
their own bodies would study the stat
istics of insanity and its increase
among us. The old Latin proverb tells
us that our aim should be to keep a
sound mind in a sound body. says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Drink and hur-
ry and worry send most of the men to
an asylum" says a doctor, while love
affairs, combined with a lack of food,
throw most of the women Off their bal
ance." The love affairs would have
but little influence over them if they
were properly fed, but among the illu
sions in which girls and women in
dulge is, that, as they care very little
about their food, so the lack of it can
not have much effect upon them. They
rather despiSe men for being careful
to have regular meals, whether bust
ness presses or not, and are inclined to
vaunt their own superiority in such
respects. But if this disregard OF the
natural instincts OF hunger leads us In
the same path as drink and hurry and
worry" leads men, and if we are to be
Inundated by hypersensitiveness in
love affairs, how pre-eminently does
male common sense stand out in the
matter!"

Electric Leakage.

Some years ago one Of the large d.
namos at the Deptford electrical sta
ton, near London, had its current ac-
cidentally diverted to the earth, the
effect of the leakage was noted as far
north as Leicester and as far south
as Paris. 1t has also long been known
that the action of the current used in
working the South London Electrical
railway, the magnetic instruments at
Greenwich Observatory, several miles
away, are detrimentally affected. AS
electrical railways are now on the in
crease, their behavior in this respect
becomes a matter of some moment;
and, as result, there has been q con-
ference of representatives of such
railways on the one hand, and repre-
sentatives of Greenwich and Kew OBJ
servatories on the other. The object
of the conference is to ascertain the
best means of dealing with the diff
Guilty, and a committee of experts has
been appointed to investigate the
amount OF magnetic disturbance pro-
iuced.

Depth of Cyclones.

From the study OF clouds Prof. F.
III. Bigelow of the United States wealth
er bureau concludes that the ordinary
cyclones which traverse our country
from west to east are not more than
two or three miles in depth, although
their diameter is many hundreds of
miles. In other words, their motion
does not affect the upper regions of
the atmosphere. In the case of hurri-
canes Prof Bigelow finds that the
depth is greater. amounting to as much
as five or six miles. But higher cur
rents blow directly across the cyclonic
and anti-cyclonic areas which pro-
duce storms and fair weather at the
surface of the earth. Some of Prof.
Bigelow's conclusions upset former
ideas concerning the circulation OF the
atmosphere.

fifty-five, are of silver, varying in val
lie and dated near the end of the fif-
teenth century and the beginning of
the sixteenth century. They were dis
covered under the thatch of a roof,

Insect Cunning.

The gardens in Hamburg have with
in the last ten years been decorated
with white leaf naples. and writer
in the Zoologist says that since the in
PRODUCTION of these shrubs the common
white butterfly has chosen them for
its settling places. Concealed in the
white leaves, the butterfly is safe from
enemies. An anecdote. more sugges-
tive of insect reasoning, is told OF a
spider by James Weir. 1t spun its
web in a sawmill in a place where the
passing of lumber frequently broke
the long stay threads that held the
web. The situation was too favorable
for flies to be abandoned, and finally
the spider got around the difficulty by
discarding the use Of stays and SUBJ
shutting for them. to keep the web
stretched, nail which it wOye into
the lower edge of the fabric.

Checkrein Substitute.

Probably no part of the harness
used for horses has come in for so
large share Of the humane society's
condemnation as the checkrein. There
is nc disputing the fact, however, that
it's use adds so per cent to horses
appearance. and that very few people
can afford to purchase the pure blood
ed horses whose natural arched necks
are the delight of all beholders. An
ingenious inventor. David Holford, OF

might perhaps be less Objectionable to
those who object to chekreins for hu-
name reasons if the horses head was
propped up instead of held up. This

A Safe Fire Escape.

Most of the fire escapes installed in
hotels and similar buildings, where
they are required by law, are simply
makeshifts, hardly suitable for wom-
en- or children to manipulate, as they
usually require some dexterity and
considerable muscular exertion on the
part of the user. In fire escape re-
Gently invented by Louis N. Duquette
Of Southbridge, Mass, the descent to
the ground from a window or other
egress opening can be made comfort
ably and without exertion. All that
is necessary is to seat oneself on
bench which has previously been
hooked to the window ledge or other
convenient point, and grasp two
handles at the sides. Mechanism con-
cealed in the box underneath plays out
the rope from two reels or drums,
which are so arranged that the rope
on each side will be played out at
uniform rate to prevent the fitting of
the boxing or casing. The gripping
tubes at the sides of the box, through
which the ropes pass, permit the con-
troll of the rate of descent.

They Got Out of the Dilemma.

In Kansas a number Of years ago,
there was a country editor who invar-
iably got full just after his paper was
issued Gu Friday, and would stay in
toxicated till the following Monday,
then sober up and get out his paper.
One week he and the printer working
for him got on big high-lonesome and
stayed that way till the next publica-
ton day. They sobered up and found
they were in a dilemma-papei day
and nc type up and the previous
weeks forms not even distributed, ev-
erything was just where they left off
the week before. The editor scrat led
his tousled head few minutes, grab
bed large composing stick and set
in large letters across the page: by
request of 800 prominent citizens we
republish last weeks paper" The
problem was solved, but everybody IS
still wondering who were the 900
prominent citizens" and why they
wanted the paper republished.
