The need of employing on the troll.
ley roads only men who have been
trained to their work and who are
known to be careful and not liable to
lose their heads in an emergency has
been made apparent in st. Louis and
Chicago by the publication of the
lists of killed and injured on the lines
of those cities. In st. Louis Judge
Wood instructed the grand jury to in
vestigate the matter of "the wholesale
slaughter of citizens" In the six
months from November 22, 1900, to
May 20, 1901, there were 81 persons
killed by the trolley cars. In Chicago
there were &c deaths from the same
cause in the first four months of this
year. A majority of the victims were
struck by the cars, and 1t is alleged
that the carelessness of employees was
the common cause.

BUTTE MOUNTAINS Mov1NG2
Landslide Forc=s a Shutdown in the
 Neversweat Mine.

Butte Mont. Oct. 1.-The Never sweat. one of the principal producing mines of the Anaconda Copper com pany. was shut down yesterday. Four hundred and fifty men were employed in the mine. The shutdown was made nee ssary by damage done the shaft and engines by slide of the earth. a. displacement of seven inches having occurred in the last few months. The foundation of the big hoisting engine which was put down at a, cost of $40. .O91 has been broken and slowed ont ot place.
 It is generally believed that the movement of the earth is due to the mining excavations. but many mining engineers and seologists assert that the movement of the Anaconda hil is similar to the movements that have caused disbursements in different parts of the city of Butte for d number of years. They declare that it Is caused by gradual and continuous sliding motion of the entire mountain range about Butte. An old. mining man is authority for the statement that in his recollection the top of Anaconda hill has moved no less than seven feet 70 the south and west.

 GRAND JURY DRAWN.-District Clerk w C. Foster. Sheriff Stout and Probate Judge Langston yeste rday drew the grand jury for the October term In doing so they were com pelled to disregard the code which pro- vides that the grand jury shall consist of no mors than fifteen members and of no fewer than thirteen. This para graph was conceived in the lower house when it was in an economical mood in the early part of the term and it proceeded to r5duce the number of grand jurors. The old law. however. was never repealed. That declares that there must be at least fiftesn jurymen and no; more than twenty one. In order to be on the safe side the old law was followed.

When he uses liquor it has d depressing effect on him and freqnently makes him go to sleep when he does Eos intend to. He admitted having taken a couple of drinks early in the morning and later one of these spells of depression came over him.

PURIFiCATION OF WAFER.
Niko'n Tesla Bclievc' 1t Can rc Done
by AN Electrical rrDre.s.

Nikoia Tesla. who is here arrangin;
for the manufacture OF apparatus for
his wireless telegraph system. has in
teresting ideas about many things. I'm
doubtedly he is a brilliant electrician,
capable Of much useful achievement.
He Is highly imaginatiyc,as all original
investigators are of necessity. for there
could be no creation without the CrCa-
tive mind. II does not follow that his
imaginings are all vain, not by any
means. though il Is natural that his
fancy might take u~nwarranted flights
to Mars or other objects in remote
space. Mr.. Tesla is especially int2reS.-
ed in an electrical process for purify
ing water, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The project is feasiblc-at least from. \
scientific point Of view and il Is To be
hoped he will be able to make il prac-
ticable in both the mechanical and eco
nomiCal senses. II the thing can BE-
done on Il large scale as cheaply az

MIR. Tcsla's idea is not OF immediate
import. He is engrossed in perfeCting

must be content with filtration for tho
present. 1t will be glad to get rid OF 80
per cent Of impurities after a long ex-

that some day Mr., Tesla will take

by scholars one OF the most important
archaeological revelations yet made. az
it throws fresh light upon the origin
and history OF the ancient Mycenaeah
