years have been good ones and no

especially in harvest time, thereby

more than their wages outside would
amount to.
There are a great many Russian set

wheat crops which have blessed Kan

THE AMATEUR MAGICIAN.
A Neat Experiment Made With
Bottle and n Tumb1er.

This is not a trick, although 1t has
the appearance of one to person not
familiar with the principle on which
it is done; we call it, therefore, an ex-
pertinent, and very pretty one it Is.
Any deft-fingered boy can make 1t with
ease and skill.
You will need a common wine bottle
a straight cord, fiat top and bottom;
two straws and a glass tumbler or COB
let. Make two holes in the cork with
a red-hot wire of about the same d.
ameter as the straws, and carefully
work a straw through each hole. Ohe
of them must extend above the top Oh
the cork as far as the tumbler is deep;
in other words, If the tumbler is four
inches deep, one of the straws must
extend four inches above the top of the
cork; the other straw must be about
twice as long.
Now fill the bottle and the tumbler
with water, to the very brim, and nav
ing closed the end of the short straw
with little bit of wax or dough, force
the cork into the bottle until the wa
ter spurts out of the top of the long
straw. You have now all the condi-
lions necessary to the performance OF
bier by means of the bottle. without
reducing the quantity of water in the
bottle.
Turn the bottle upside down quick
ly clip off the end of the short straw
with its dough stopper, and insert the
short straw in the tumbler so that u
reaches to the bottom. The water VIII

Onto a bowl provided to receive ~,
but If you notice the tumbler, you VIII
see that it is from it the water is com
ing, for its supply is gradually decreas-
ing, while the bottle all the time re-
mains full. You can thus completely
empty the glass, leaving the original
quantity OF water in the bottle.
The explanation is that the two
straws make a siphon. which begins 10

branches are full of water at the start
AS the water runs out of the bottle

THE WITNESSES WAITED.

Louis WassMan, the Sand Coulee
rancher and a numDer of witnesses
for the defense in the case of the
state VS.. Louis Wassman, arrived in
the court OF Justice Stafford at two
o'clock this afternoon, and, in com
pany with the attorneys IN the case
and several newspaper reporters,
waited patiently for an hour the COM
ing of the complaining witness and
The witnesses for the state, says the
Great Falls Leader. At the end of an
hour telephone message to Sand
Coulee brought the information that
Justice Of the Peace. j. ID. Meagher,
to whom the subpoenas had been sent
for service, was out of town and had
been working at the Locke brick yard
aou,h of this city since last Sunday.
Then IL was announced by the court
than the case would be postponed for
hearing until Friday afternoon, Sep
TENDER 9th, at two o'clock, and if in
the meanwhls ii was learned that the
papers had been served and that the
witnesses had failed to appear after
being summoned the case would be
considered dismissed
This was the case IN which Mr.,
Wassman was charged with both as
sault in the third degree and also as
sault with intent to commit rape. The
cases were filed at the complaint of
Mrs. Mary Pepkevic upon whom the
alleged assaults were supposed to
nave been committed. The case was
fled early in July but the hearing
was postponed for a time on account
or the absence in the east of Attorney

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
SATURDAY, AUGUST 81, 1901
FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY.

The wreck on the Great Northern
last night will long be remembered as
perhaps the worst occurrence of H.
kind in the history of western rail
roading up to this time The list of
fatalities is frightful to contemplate
and the manner of them gives added
horror to the event. Probably none
have ever travelled over mount ,'n
railroads and noted the heavy grades
without considering the possibility of
such a disaster as that of last night
and estimating the consequences. It
is probable too, that the strongest
imaginations never pictured more
dire results than those which marked
the disaster at Nyack.
Who is responsible? is the question
on everyone's lips. Investigation,
condemnation and punishment can
not bring the dead back to life, miti-
gate the suffering of the wounded nor
assuage the grief of the bereaved, but
it can go long way toward prevent
ing the recurrence of such a horror.
The authorities owe it to themselves
and to the public to see that such in
vestigation is made as will fix the re-
sponsibility without fear or favor.
High or low, if men were responsible
for the torture and death Of the 81
human beings who persisted last nieh
at Nyack, punishment should follow
swift and sure. No perfunctory in
vestigation or stcreotyped form ci
verdict will satisfy public opinion in a
case OF this kind 1t is possible .:rlt
the death and destruction of last
night was the act Of God. 1t is prob
able that it was the result of mans
carelessness or mans avarice. Public
opinion will look to the officials whose
duty it is to investigate and report to
do their full duty in this matter. No
Sinking should be tolerated
