Joseph R. Glass, of near Swanton,
was seriously hurt while engaged at
work ON the Mosser saw mill in Dis
trict No. last Friday. The main
belt on the mill slipped from its pull
leys while the engine was going very
rapidly and Mr.. Glass being directly
in line with it was caught by the belt
and thrown toward the top of the
building. He sustained some very
serious injuries to the lower portion
of his body. He was brought to Oak

NOME, ALASKA, OepU. 10, lJUO.
To the Editor of The Republican.
This morning as we emerged from
our tents we could see far away the
mountains topped with snow. Some
what later in the day there was quite
a good deal of snow flying in the all
about us. l dare say that this caused
every member of our camp to allow
his mind to wander back to old Gar
rett. | know that such was my per-
sonal experience, and l shall there
fore ask you to allow me small space
in your paper for few notes which
my countrymen might find of some
little interest.
Nome is certainly a great camp, but
far greater in prospect. There has
been comparatively little work done
here this year, owing to a combina-
ton of causes. Many thousand peo-
pie visited Nome this summer, some
for pleasure, some for curiosity and
some for the yellow meta Among
the many thousand people we can
find all colors and all kinds. One
man, as he came ashore, took up a
handful of sand, examined it and ex-
claimed: 81 thought it was a d
fraud,n and returned home by next
boat. Another, after examining it,
took out his revolver and blew out
his brains. There are hundreds more
who have been similarly misled and
disappointed.
As to the Garrett county boys, they
are all in the best of spirits and are
enjoying excellent health. The first
cloud which brought shadow across
Maryland camp was when our much
respected Senator announced to us
that he intended leaving; but mas
much as the doctor did not come to
shovel sand we were obliged to hope
pleasant and wish him safe jour
ney. Next to leave was Mr.. Clagett,
our competent and often needed
blacksmith. His main excuse was
that he had taken a wife and must
go to see her. Mr.. j. s. Gnegy fell
into line and began making excuses
and to say: 81 want to take unto my.
self wife and must go to see her.
Mr.. Schrock is also talking about go
ing home, and it is uncertain at this
time if he will stay to the end or not

about all the good things in Mary

After all is said and done, the pros
perity of Oakland depends upon the
citizens of Garrett county. We should
hold every fall fair at which prizes
for the best of everything used and
produced on farms should be offered
and where people living apart could
meet amid pleasant circumstances.
We need a club house. There should
be small hall and library on ground
floor open to the ladies of the families
of members during the day, reading,
writing, amusement, toilet and din
ing rooms on second floor, and frame
and iron gymnasium in the rear, this
last open to boys upon the payment
of 3 nominal sum. 1t is believed that
if the club proves by its deeds that it
is useful and worthy of life, the
money for such a building will be
forthcoming.
These objects can best be accom-
plished through an organization of
this kind. The membership is ample,
provided the hundred who compose
it are active. 1t should include those
who are public spirited enough to
work for the general welfare as well
as by those who have only public
spirit enough to work for their own
welfare. The success of the Oakland
means prosperity not only for Club
the community, but also for each in
dividual member, and it seems fair
and proper that all who can become
members should help support it.
Secretary Peddicord also submitted
his annual report which shows the
organization to be in a healthy state
both financially and with regard to
the number of active members; as

The Present Aim Of PHYSICS.

In his evening address on 1.-The Cen
tenary of the Electric Current" deliv-
cred before the British association,
Prof. Fleming referred to Hertz proof
that electrical energy could leave rod
in which a rapid oscillatory current
was set up, and could travel with the
speed of light outwards in all direc-
lions. 1t existed as free radiant or
wave energy in the ether after it left
the radiator and before it reached the
receiver. Both optical and electrical
phenomena had compelled the assump-
ton of an imponderable material which
could be the vehicle for energy in GER
tain forms. The aim of physical in
Quiry at the present time was to de-
wise theory of the ether, such that
from the simplest possible assumptions
could be deduced the facts of electric.
ity, magnetism and optics.

p.ad,ic.t Poison known.

De0dltcst Poison Known
The discoverer of prussic acid was
instantly killed by inhaling one Whit
of his own handiwork. Pure prussic
acid is never sold or handled. The
smell Of it is always fatal. 1t kills not
in three minutes or half an hour, but
the instant it enters the lungs as a
gas. The mixture ordinary sold as
prussic acid is SO parts water to two
parts of the drug. Even in this form
it is very deadly. A 20 per cent mix
ture of the acid would kill nearly as
quickly as if pure. Atropine, though
1t has no harmful odor, is so deadly
that as much of it as would adhere
to the end of moistened forefinger
would instantly cause death. Cyanide
OF potassium has pleasant smell,
which is not injurious, but small
quantity swallowed kills at once. Pure
ammonia, if inhaled would cause death
almost as quickly as prussic acid.
When a carboy of nitric acid is broken
someone has to suffer. 1t will burn
wood, eat through iron plates and de-
stroy whatever it touches. Such an &C.
cident once happened in an acid fac
tory. Everyone ran away, leaving the
acid to amuse itself by setting. fire to
the things. Soon it was seen that the
building would be destroyed and hun
dreds of people thrown out of work,
and four men volunteered to put out
the fire in the acid room. They sue
ceeded and came out feeling all right
Five hours later all were dead.

Diamonds in South Africa.

Since the discovery Of the first dia-
mond at Reitfontein. in August, 1897,
there has been a considerable develop
ment of the diamond industry in the
Transvaal, and in 1898 the output
amounted to 11,025 carats, valued at
$43,151. The largest stone found there
this year weighed 3S1a carats. The
average value of the diamonds in the
Pretoria district is stated to be $3.50
per carat, those found at Kimberley
at 1888 per carat and those occurring
at Jagersfontein, in the Orange Free
State, $S.27 per carat. The area of dia-
mondiferous ground in the Transvaal
is very extensive, but it's thickness is
not considerable. The weight of the
diamonds found throughout the Tran
svaal in 1898 was 22,S4S carats, valued
at $212,S12.

First Calling Gun.

The early inception of the Calling
gun is wrapped in much obscurity.
Some French critics claim that their
mitrailleuse antedates it, but there is
absolutely incontrovertible proof that
not only is this not so, but that the
French government made strenuous
efforts to secure exclusive control OF
Cuttings invention; failing which
their competing mitrailleuse quickly
followed the adoption of the Doctors
gun by the American authorities, says
Self Culture. Some good Christians
have claimed that DR.. Calling invented
Ais famous weapon from humanitarian
motives-an argument which has some
weight, as we we'll know that a mob
or regiment even, will very quickly
get out of range and danger when
once 1t is known that such gun is
facing them. The doctor himself calls
mis- invention "peacemaker," but
with the greatest respect to him, 1 do
not believe he had any idea of saving
life or anything of that sort in mind
while at work upon the gun, whatever
he may have thought of since. There
was field for weapons, offensive and
defensive, the more murderous the
former the better, and from what then
existed in firearms and from the fer
tility of his own brain the Calling gun
was evolved-the first of it's kind. His
experimental gun was~made and tested
before military men and experts at
Indianapolis in 1862. When the first
lot-paid for by DR.. Gatling-was
ready for shipment to Gen. Butler, the
factory burned and with it his guns
were destroyed and his hopes blighted
Another year and many thousands OF
dollars were spent to remake the pat
terms and drawings and new batch
OF guns-a year of heart-burning,
pinching and sacrifice that many of us.
at some time or another. have ex-
perienced-and therefore one with
which we can sympathize. Gen. Butler
used some Of these guns on the James
river. near Richmond, and the way in
which their inventor cherishes the rec
ords OF the execution wrought by them
is amusing when one thinks of the hu-
manitarian theories attributed to their
origin. In 1860 the government off,
cially approved the gun and. after tests
that make an inventor shiver to think
of, placed an order for 100. Then not
only did the powers of Europe order
guns, but so did China, Japan, Siam.
Egypt and the South American coun-
tries. A machine gun that spread
devastation in swath wider than a
company of infantry and fired inch
bullets at the rate of 1900 a minute
(to-day, fired electrically, its speed is
slightly in excess Of 5000 per minute),
was revelation to most foreign ex-
perts and no Christian or other power
could long Withstand the temptation of
moving down its Christian or other
foes at any such rate and by machin-
cry.

the southern part Of Virginia down
through Mexico, while north of Nor
folk. Va, it will be partial. In the
