WELL DONE.

The work of the convention at Nnn-
sas City, so far as II has been done,
has been well done. OF course the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan was fore
gone conclusion, and as his whole Pc
litical life IL an open book, known ana
read of all men, comment upon his mt
ness as n standnrdbe for the party
of the people Is quite useless. His con
duct in regard to the convention ana
his attitude towards the platform
adopted are above criticism and be-
yond all praise. With every apparent
Incentive and with abundant persua-
slons to he a hypocrite, he yet show
ed himself an honest man. And this
was the best of policy also. The at
tempted shelving of the money issue
by keeping back n specific endorse
ment of that plank of the Chicago plat
form while affirming the platform as
an entirety, would have deceived no
one, and would have laid the party
Justly open TO the charge of falsc-prc-
tense of which the Republicans would
have taken swift advantage, whereas
now they are themselves enjoying II
monopoly OF duplicity in their appeals
TO the voters of the country.

Passes to Her Rest.

Mrs. N. G. Wood departed this life
at her late residence in Oakfield, Sun
day morning, March IL, 1900, at
11:l5. The deceased was born at
Green Bay, Wisconsin, February 16,
1910, and lived with her father. L..
Bacon, until her marriage to N. l..
Wood, which occurred June ID, 1865,
then she came with her husband to
Iowa, settling in Lee county. In
1875 they moved from Lee to Audi
bon county, where she lived up to the
time of her death. She had wide
acquaintance throughout this COM
munity, and those who knew her es-
teemed her highly for her sterling
worth. Her husband passed to his
rest February S, 1898. Three sons
and three daughters remain to mourn
the death of a kind and thoughtful
mother. The funeral services were
held at the Brayton Baptist church,
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'clock. where
a large and sympatizing audience
were gathered; her pastor, Rev. M.
G.. Bentley officiating. The remains
were then taken to their last resting
place in Oaktield cemetery. She was
a devote christian, commencing her
christian career at the age of twenty
years. She was one of the charter
members of the Brayton Baptist
church. She now sleeps the sleep
that knows no awakening. but that
precious soul has entered upon the
active ties that are not succeeded by
WEAKNESS.

Remarkable t;warms of Insects,

From various parts of the country
there were reports last summer Of
grasshoppers and locusts, swarms OF
insects that played havoc with the
farmer. A swarm entered Colorado
Springs some few years ago and
swept away almost all the verdure.
The insects covered the ground in
places, and were swept out of the
stores with brooms. That grasshop-
pers can stop train seems incredi-
bic, yet train on one of the northern
roads in Colorado ran into swarm
one day which literally stopped it.
The insects were piled up nearly a
foot deep on the rails, and as the
wheels crushed over them the train
slid along and could not be started.
The insects filed the cab, crawled
over the cars and into them when
ever they could find entrance and pre-
sented sight that alarmed some Of
the passengers, as when they flew
they filled the air like hail and formed
Il cloud which turned the sky to a red
hue.

Says He Saw Top Spin II Minutes.

81 see that couple of Northern
scientists are wrangling over the in
vention of top that spins for an hour
without stopping" said New Orleans
engineer, talking about mechanical
curios. mo detailed description of the
device has even been printed, but l
can assure both claimants that it is
far from a novelty.
"Over ten years ago, to the best Of
my recollection, German watchmak-
er, who was then living here, made Il
top which l myself have several times
seen spin for more than an hour. His
name was William Freund. and | be-
lieve he is now at Dallas, Tex. He was
a sort of all-round mechanical genius
and used to occupy his leisure by max
ing quaint automatic toys, which he
generally gave away. The long-dis-
tance top consisted of a metal sphere,
about the size of football, surmount-
ed by two thin, wide disks, which, to
the best of my recollection, were made
of tin, with strip of lead around the
edge. Freund called the thing the
Saturn top" because these disks made
it look something like the familiar pic
lures of that planet. At the bottom
of the sphere was a short pin with a
sharp point, on which the apparatus
revolved, and on top was a peg for
winding the string which gave it its
impetus. No other mechanism was
visible. FTeund spun the toy in Il
small saucer the two or three times
1 saw it in motion. He held it erect
by a handle which rested in n cavity
at the end of the peg, gave the string
quick jerk and away it went. 1t
whirled around SO smoothly and with
such a total absence of anything like
a wobble that it was hard to discern
that it was really moving. 1t appeared
to be standing perfectly still. The
longest time that / saw it spin was
one hour and II minutes but on other
occasions it beat that record slightly"

The Plan That Failed.

There is a mother in a New England
town who has much trouble with her
small boys. They are very lively edi-
tions of the small boy, given to running
away, going in swimming, and doing
many other things of which n good
mother cannot approve. SO the other
day. to keep the most obstreperous of
the small boys at home, she dressed
him entirely in his sisters clothes,
Then with a mind at rest, thinking
he would not endure the shame of
being seen on the street in girls clo. hes,
she went about her work with a quiet
mind. But her confidence in that
small boys feelings was not well
placed. He ventured out on the street
and there meeting some genuine little
girls, was evidently reproached by
them for the false position in which he
was placed. That is at least the con-
clusion the mo her came to later, and
that her small boy resented sarcastic
remarks, for an older brother came
running in in great excitement, cry.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S WIND CAVE.
1t 10 So Extensive That Some People Say
That the State Is Hollow.

The good people of South Dakota
| regard Wind Cave as the tenth wonder
of the world. From surface indica-
tions it would seem that large part
| of the state is hollow and the extent
| of Wind Cave is unknown. 1t was
| discovered in 1877 by notorious char
acter known as Lame Johnny" who
distinguished himself on several oc-
casions by holding up the Deadwood
stage and ambushing caravans of un-
wary travellers. His lack o. prudence
| in one of these adventures resulted in
a ''necktie party" Which ended John
ny's career, so that he was not able
to profit by his discovery. J. B. Nc
Donald rediscovered the phenomenon
in 1884 by finding a large gap in the
plain through which the wind was
| pouring out with great force, like the
draught of chimney. There are
similar vent holes at frequent inter-
walls over the prairie, and the people
of this neighborhood claim that sever
al have been opened within the last
few years.
| The cave is divided into chambers.
1t Is asserted that more than 1000 diff
| ferent rooms have already been dis
covered varying in size from Il tin
diameter to over three acres, and this
is believed to be only a small portion
of the cavern. The cave ceiling is not
so high as that of Mammoth Cave, and

wonderful rs those of Luray, but it
has many attractions, and one in par
ticula-the dryness of the atmosphere
which is said to afford instant and
complete relief to asthmatic people.
The temperature of the cave is about
10 degrees the year round, being un-
affected by the variations of the ther-
mometer outside, but the variations of
the barometer are sharply perceptible.
| When the mercury rises on the outside
Il current of air flows into the cave and
follows Il certain direction. When the
! glass falls this current changes and
| the air flows in another direction.
This phenomenon has not been studied
by competent meteorologists, but is so
apparent that it attracted the attention
of the early explorers of the canyon.
The effect of the air Of the cave upon
asthmatic people is equally peculiar.
| A sufferer from that disease finds inn
mediate relief upon entering the cave,
and there will be no return of the
trouble for several days after. This
has suggested the possibility of per-
manent cure for such as can have the
privilege of visiting the cave frequent
ly, and hotel is planned for their ac-
odation-Chicago Record.

Dnes Electricity KIN Trees?

New Haven Comm Special to Phil
adelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens
who desire to save the noble elms that
are the pride of New Haven have
threatened tC bring suit against the
trolley car companies of the city for
alleged damages to the trees. The as
sertion is made that the trolley wires
charged with electricity are in some
streets held in place by connecting
wires fastened to the trees. and that
charges of electric fluid are sent into
the trees, which are thus killed. The
trolley companies have sought to stave
off damage suits by an offer to test
the scientific correctness of these as
sertions. Permission has peen obtained
from the department of public works
and police supervision assured for the
interesting experiment within the
week of charging the big tree in front
of City Hall with the full voltage of
the trolley system. If the tree dies
a score of suits will be filed by prop
erty owners, who have been compelled
to cut down trees. some of them 15O
years old since the trolley ran through
the avenues.
