During 1900 some $4,000 hail shoot.
ing stations were established in Italv
and very large number in France
and Austria. The editor Of the Unit.
ed States Monthly Weather Review
reports that there is, so far, no evi.
dence whatever that the shooting
done at these stations has had any
effect upon hailstorms. The quantity
of powder employed is usually so
small that the vortex rings do not
rise further than thousand feet.
They do not, therefore, reach the
clouds. The best that can be said for
this method of changing hail into
rain is that its advocates are still
hopeful; but even its best friends con,
fess that nothing has been proved
and that the whole matter is in its
experimental stage. Scientific me-
teorologists have no faith at all in its
success.

WAIVED THE PRELIMINARY.
WarfOrd and Smith Bound over to
District COurt-Other Two Men
Arrested are Turned Loose.

In Justice Potters court Thursday
the preliminary hearing of the
men arrested for completely in the
r'ioting which resulted in the running
of the Italian workmen out of town
came up at 8 O'Clock. The actions
against Ben Ganoung and Jack Bal

evidence against them. {. S. Ritter

The cement company's attornies,
Foust and McClain, and the state 5
attorney John Goshorn will prosecute
the cases. Just what evidence they
have been able to dig up is not known,
and it is not likely to be until the
case comes up in court. The report
that ex-chief Ramsey of Topeka came
here TO work on the case proves in
correct, he being here on peaceful
business mission, to see J. NJ. War

Another arrest was made
which is distinctly connected with the
other cases. On complaint sworn to
10y Mr.. Billings, night watch at the
cement plant. q warrant was issued
for Fl. Thompson, charging him with
having stolen three shot guns from the
hardware store of r. b. Shannon on
the night of May s, which is the night
that the big doings was pulled off.
The weapons were valued at about $45
and the prosecution may stick strictly
to the theft idea and not look into the
question of the use to which the guns
were to be put.
When it came to trial it developed
that the three shot guns had been rent
ed from Shannon by the Cement com
pany. During the melee they disap-
peared. Thompson was reported to have
secured them and Dan Brewer went
with a warrant to the pest house, of
which Thompson is custodian, and de-
manded the guns. Thompson delivered
but one, an old one, which is believed
to have been the property of one of
Italians, they having brought such
weapon with them and left it here.
Thompson was bound over to the Dis
trict Court on 5000 bond.
The case now seems closed again
until the district court convenes in
May, or perhaps later if the cases are
continued.

UNIVERSAL ENERGY.
Electrical Influence May he n Moving
Force In the Motion Of the
spheres.

This age Is giynga dignity and place
TO electricity that were not dreamed
of few years ago, and now comes NJ.
l.. Pence, professor of physics in the
Kentucky college, at Lexington, claim
ing-and not without strong proof
that the space peryading ether is u
form of electricity.
This theory strongly supports Mr..
Tesla's claim that intelligences in
widely separated planets can com
municate with each other, and is in
line with the often expressed hypothe
sis that electrical energy plays a great
part in the motion OF the spheres, and
may be the real cause OF what we call
gravity"
Even Newton said he doubted the
power of matter attracting matter
through vacuum, and intimated that
he believed there must be some moving
substance or energy forcing the bodies
together, and he found the law that
the force of attraction diminishes ac-
cording to the inverse square to be in
accord with the theory. Now, accord
ing to Prof Pence, we may find that
electrical energy is forcing matter in
all directions, and is the cause of what
we term attraction of gravitation.
This electrical ether, if il exists, is
consistent with well-known facts in
wireless telegraphy, and it's permeat-
ing the earth may, il is claimed. be the
real cause of the ground circuit,

Cement Company Cat ching Up.

The recent unpleasantness has had
one effect which was far from the ex-
pected result, namely, it has called
wide attention to the size of the lola
cement works and the need of men and
the prices paid. The result is that
workingmen in twos and threes from
all parts of eastern Kansas have
dropped into town and applied at the
works for jobs, and q good many
have been put to work. The plant,
which was running behind in its orders
and was 10000 barrels behind for
awile, is now rapidly catching up and
the output is steadily jumping for
ward, The new men area pretty good
variety of citizens, American born,

may be conceded that the good which

Court of Appeals Permit LanyOn Zinc

A decision which is of very great in
terest to everyone in lola has recently
been rendered by the United States
court of Appeal and approved by
Judge Hook. OF it the Leavenworth
Chronicle says:
"Judge w. G. Hook of the federal
court, today approved the surety bond
of the Lanyon Zinc company of La
Harpe and lola, Kansas, in the sum
of $40, 600, thereby staying the injunc-
ton against the Lanyon people,
brought about several months ago by
the smelling firm of Brown ct al of
Illinois. This means that the smelt-
ing plants at LaIIarpe and lola win

Some months ago the smelling firm
Of Brown ct al Of Illinois, brought
suit against the Lanyon Zinc compar y
of Laflarpe and lola to restrain it
from the use of u rooster attachment
for the smelling furnace, known as
Rapp's patent, which the Browns
claim to be an infringement upon their
patent
THE complainant applied for and
obtained temporary order

close the furnaces of the Lanyoncomp-
any until the issues of the suit could
have been heard which might have
meant idleness for the works for a
great many years and which would
have meant death to the two towns.
"An attempt was made by Messrs.
Walker, Atwood x Hooper, attorneys
for the Lanyon company, to get the
injunction stayed by the giving of a
bond or bonds, but Judge Hook was
so situated that he could not act. The
attorneys then applied to Judge
Thayer of st. Louis and he declined
10 act.
FINALLY the matter came up before

It contained a very rude drawing of a rich man and a poor man. The rich man was saying, What do you wantP The poor man was saying, "CrHnS from the rich mans table" It was all very crude and one sided in every way. The column of men swung by, nearly 800 miners on their way from the up- per range to join the strikers in Cham pion in their regular morning gather ing at the park. Every man as he went by turned his head and looked up at the house where the dead mine owner lay. It is possible that they saw the son standing there. He watch ed the column tramp through the dHst and disappear down the road. And as he turned back toward all that remain ed of the mortal flesh of the man who had been worth so many millions he was conscious that he was face to face with the great problem of his own ex- 1stence, with which was involved the problem of thousands of other men.

 The pumps were still going, although some of the men had threatened to pull them out. There were only six men still at work in the engine house. Stu art walked up to a favorite seat on a great stone which cropped out on the hill. One of the few old pines still left on the slope grew close by.
 He sat down and took out the letter. It was from Eric. As he read his face darkened:
 Dear Stuart-the letter began, with the old fa miliar sound-I write to you because I have been refused admission to the house.. called twice this week to inquire for you, and the servants would not let in. I don't blame you. The times are bringing many questions before us, and the rights of men not to be ignored. I don't know that you care to keep up the old ac- quaintance It rests with you to say. I don't know what year may have done for you. The situation may also make a change in your attitude toward me. I am doing what I believe is right. It may seem all wrong from your stand point. If you will be at the old stone by the big tree this afternoon, I will meet you there Your old friend. ERIC.
 This was a most unsatisfactory letter to Stuart The refusal to let Eric into the house angered him to a white heat. He could not understand it unless the
