Times Sets tho Pace.

The Minneapolis Times has certain
ly made a strong move for popularity
by securing the New York Herald's
special cable service. This gives The
Times the best service from a tele-
graphic news standpoint that is held
by any northwestern newspaper. The
new service is of great value to read
ers OF The Times, especially during
the Boer war. And from present in
dications other countries than Eng
land are bound to be involved in the
South African troubles, thus making
the news. service of greater value to
the readers, as it gives to them a serv-
ice equal to that enjoyed by the people
of London and New York. The Times
sets the pace for enterprisinR news
paper service in the northwest, and
it's latest bid for popularity is but an
other evidence of it's lead in tina,

spread to the brain, causing death.

Page from Raymond spoke at the
home of the deceased. A large num-
Der of friends followed the remains to
the Roseland church where funeral
services were performed by Revs.

ing to see the brotherly feeling that
prevails in the neighborhood.
Friends and neighbors have paid the
funeral expences, also promised the
bereaved family substantial aid in
taking care OF tine farm, which is a
noble evidence of the prevailing spirit
of practical christianity. The Prins-
burg Union Society and Sunday
School feel the loss very keen|y. Rev.
Knott has been an earnest and faith
full worker With 'malice for none
and charity to alp he has won the
confidence and love of all.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 6.-Julia
Morrison entered the courtroom this morn
ing supported by her husband and officers
of the court. She is very pale and weak
and seems to be suffering great mental an
guish. She said she did not sleep any last
night Her nervousness is very great. II is
stated to-day that the attorneys for the
defense will rely on a plea or insanity 10
save the life Of their client. if the evil
dence does not sustain her plea of self
defense. Twenty-Five physicians are said to
be ready to testify to Miss Morrison men,
tai alteration. Among the spectators to-
day were large number Of ladies', some of
them prominent in CHATTANOOGA society.
A letter which Miss Morrison admitted

part of IL read as follows: You telegraph
Frank Leiden to shut his mouth and leave
me alone or I'll quit He leaves or 1 leave

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Ind, Jan. 6.-The
announcement from the County Commits
sioners that the retiring county treasurer.
William Johnson. was $4,000 short in his
accounts caused quite a sensation in this
city. His shortage, however. has caused
no stir among his bondsmen, who have inn
plicit confidence in him and think he will
be able to explain to the satisfaction of all
where the error occurred. Mr.. Johnson has
turned over all his personal property and
will save his bondsmen if it takes the last
dollar he has. Mr.. johnson states that In
the shifting of the accounts an error of
$4,000 was made against him. He will pay
the claim in full next week, but will do
SO under protest and will reserve the right
to investigate the books.
Mr.. Johnson is a Republican and has
been In Office for four years. Before TAX
ing Office he was engaged in the stock and
grain business at Pawnee, Ind, where he
still owns large farm and elevator. He
has also fine residence property in this
city and is principal stakeholder in a wind
mill factory at Anderson. Mr.. Johnson
states he was surprised to find himself
short in his accounts and thinks he will be
able to find the shortage when he can
make an investigation of the books.

TALES OF WAR.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAG

ming up this correspondent says: 1.-The
disadvantages under which We have Ia
bored have been demonstrated repeatedly.
At EIandslaagte two officers and two men
of the first field battery were wounded at
a range beyond that at which they could
fire shrapnel. Except in "Reminiscences
our field guns are useless as long as the
siege lasts. The Boer shrapnel is fused for
500 yards, whereas our fuse ceases to be
effective at 400 yards. The meaning of
this is clear when say for LOO yards, or
nearly three-quarters of mile, our artil-
lerymen are exposed to the fire Of a prac-
tically invisible enemy without being able
to fire a really effective shot in self-de-
Tense. In other words, our guns would
never get within effective range of a
French or German field battery. We must
have a gun that will shoot with much
greater accuracy at 5000 yards and fuse
that is effective at 5000 or 5000 yards
''Our equipment is unduly heavy. Our
guns carry too much weight The double
teams that brought the Twenty-first Bat
terry 20 Elandslaagte, a distance of fifteen
or sixteen miles, had not an ounce left in
them. This is the first time that the British
army has faced modern artillery, and the
lessons to be learned will be of the greatest
value. Already we have discovered that,
with the aid of smokeless powder and long
ranges, the enemy may be invisible, and
that, when he is raining shot and shell
upon us, and that days may pass without
disclosing the position of some of his guns
and howitzers. The Boer has another adj
vantage, If not in his Mauser rifie-which
many experts In our army now declare to
be more accurate and trustworthy than the
Lee-Metford-at any rate, in the posses
sion OF field glasses. There is scarcely a
man in the ranks who has not a powerful
binocular, by the aid of which he is able
to make good shooting at extraordinary
distances Our equipment in this respect
is deficient and should be improved with
out delay"

Responsible for the Arrest of Dunkle
for Murder I'm Ohio.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT. Ind, Jan. Cit was
learned yesterday that Peter Dunkle. the
man who was arrested this week by De-
tective Oscar Welty. of Kokomo, at Hen
peck, in Carroll county, and taken to
Franklin, O., to answer to the charge Of
criminal assault and murder, committed
thirteen years ago. has often worked in Lo-
gansport during the years in which he had
resided In and about Henpeck. While he
was engaged down in the country near this
city as a farm hand he would come to Lo-
gansport and work at odd jobs, but never
remained long at a time. His arrest came
about through making a confidant of
friend in a moment of drunkenness. He
and his friend afterwards both paid atten-
tions to the same woman, in which rivalry
Dunkle proved successful to the chagrin
of his former confidant, who went to Ko-
komo and related what Dunkle had told
him of his crime, committed back in Ohio
years ago. Detective Welty heard Of Ii,
and communicated with the authorities at
Franklin and found that such a crime had
been committed. He then laid plans for
the arrest of the man.

hnONleQse.
These are the days of penny in the
slot, and possibly every one weighs very
frequently for his own amusement. Even
If the machines are not very accurate tho
probability Is that IL you weigh regularly
on the same machine you can see correctly
whether you increase or diminish in
weight. We are not concerned here with
the steady increase or diminution in weight
at various times Of the year or before and
after an illness. but want to draw atten-
ton TO the fact that in health We vary in
weight from hour TO hour, and that this
does not seem 20 be recognized. II is
strange 70 see what absurd fallacies oc-
cupy the popular mind Aprcpos OF the
subject Of this paper. it has been seriously
asserted by many people that you are nat
urally lighter after a meal, and they have
even gone to the length of explaining this
by the amount Of gas that is developed
from the food. These people must be very
uncomfortable after mealsi It reminds one
rather of the famous fallacy said TO have
been submitted TO the Royal Society, ask
ing why a fish could be put into a basin
brimfuI of water without making 1t run
over When IL was tried at some ones
suggestion the water did, OF course. run
over
Surprising we want TO find whether we do
really vary I'm weight or not, there are two
ways to set about the inquiry. We can
either sit in a weighing machine and live
there-which does not commend itself TO
most of us-or we can weigh ourselves at
regular times during the day. which is
more feasible. Now, common sense points
out that we must vary In weight accord
ing TO the amount of food we take in and
the amount of material that we lose. Sta
tistics are always painful unless the writer
has the wonderful power OF Mr. Schooling.
who certainly can make statistics attract
i've. But perhaps the most convenient
method is to look at the summary diagram
first, and this shows what can be repre-
scented in figures without much difficulty:

By these IL will be seen that we lose
three pounds six ounces between night and
morning; that we gain one pound twelve
ounces by breakfast That we again lose
about fourteen ounces before luncheons
that luncheon puts on an average OF one
pound; that we again lose during the after
noon an average of ten ounces; but that an
ordinary dinner TO healthy persons adds
two pounds two ounces to their weight.
