PERPETUAL MOTION AT LAST.
A ST. LOUIS MAN HAS SOLVED THE
PROBLEM.

Harry b. Dean, OF st. Louis, claims
to have found the secret Of perpetual
motion. lie has been working on this
great problem for Twelve years Ie
has not yet patented his discov@y,
therefore a precise description of the
principle and its application is i'm
possible. -
For twelve years, he says, he work
ed in the old rut of trying to overcome
gravity, but about year ago he turn.
ed his attention to momentum, and it
is on this principle that he claims to
have found success.
Mr. Dean has a self-windiDg clock
that has been running for three weeks
without any assistance. 1t winds
itself every half hour. The mechanism
will run in any position and is simpler
than that of an ordinary clock or
watch.
Mr.. Dean expects that eventually
his invention will take the place OF
steam and eleGtriety for the propul-
sion Of vehicles of all descriptions. In
automobiles, in which he believes his
principle will make decided change
by permitting much lighter machin.
cry than is now used, and in street
cars and locomotives a cylinder will
take the place of the spring used in
smaller pieces of mechanism. The
machine will compress its own air in.
definitely by means of his appliance.
A wealthy partner will furnish am:
pie means to prove the practicability OF
the discovery. IL will be patented
soon and then they will begin work
on a watch, clock and an automO-
bile. Mr.. Dean refused to deyulge
| the name of his partner.

A NASCENT DIALECTICIAN.

Charles derived little good from his
visit to Sunday school Yesterday, says
the Albany Journal. After dinner
mamma missed a small pot OF jam,
and as she noticed some telltalc evil
denccs about Charles mouth and
hands, she asked him II he had seen
or eaten the jam. Charles insisted
that be had not even seen the jam.
Papa thereupon was called in, and
Charles was punished severely. Draw
ing Charles close to her, and wiping
the tears from his eyes, mamma said:
"When l was your age, my boy, l
never told a falscloOd."
'II0w old were you before you be.

THE GOVERNORS OPPORTU-
NIFTY.

Hattiesburg Citizen.
When Knox was lynched at Scran-
ton Gov. Longino almost tore his
neither linen in an effort to discover
and have the lynchers brought to JUS
tice. He had special term Of court
convened, but it was abortive in every
feature. Now, however he has a
clearer field in which to demonstrate
whether or not lynchers can be in,
dicted in Mississippi and brought TO
trial. Editor Vardaman made trip
to Carrollton for the purpose of in
forming himself as to the true status
of the situation. While there Editor
Vardaman states that he talked with
Hon. L. NJ. Southworth, and he quotes
that gentleman as saying:
"The governor is very much mis-
taken when he said the mob was COM
posed of 'ragamuflins and irresponsis
bles.' The truth is, it was composed
of the most prosperous and law-re
specting young men Of Carroll county.
OF the five hundred present on that
occasion, 80 per cent were of the best
people OF the county. The leaders
were Of especially high character. |
know every one Of them and they
were upright, manly men. And Of
that number | will add that 95 per
cent were in favor of the mob hang
ing the negroes, Some thought it
better to wait a day or two in order
that more complete confession
might be gotten; but all, or nearly all
agreed that the negroes deserved to
suffer death at the hands of a mob
As to the guilt of the negroes hanged
there is no doubt of it in my OWE
mind and helped to examine the wit
nesses. | do not know that either Of
them struck the fatal blow, but they
were in the plot to kill these people
and knew all about it | have no doubt
whatever. 1t was very wicked mur'
der, deliberately planned and cold
bloodedly executed, and. so covered III
in mystery that it seemed to thu
average man impossible Of being
reached by a court Of law. That is
what enraged the people so, and that
is why the good people of Carol
county arose almost to Il man tt
avenge the foul murder"
Editor Vardaman would not have
attributed the above language to Mr.
Southw0rth had he not uttered it, and
as Mr.. SouthwOrth is gentleman OF
unimpeachable character, the oppor'
tunity Of the governor is here pre-
sented. Mr.. Suuthworth is quoted as
saying: II know every one of them.
Therefore the governor has witness
in Mr.. Southworth who will tell the
truth regardless of consequences, and
unless he holds a bObtail flush he will
play his hand for all it is worth.

BRYAN ON THE STRIKE,

Commoncr.
The contest, while apparently over
an abstract principle, really involves
the right of the laboring man to or
ganize. 1t is undoubtedly the purpose
of the trust to destroy labor organiza-
tons, and the purpose would be re-
entlessly pursued if the time seemed
proptious. 1t is strange that any
aboring man should fail to under
stand the nature of private mono
poly or give any support whatever to
the enormous consolidation of capital
which is now going on, 1t means
death to the wage-earner as well as
destruction of industrial indepen-
dence. Unless all the mills are COM
pletely nnionlzcd, the trust can run
the nonunion shops and keep the
union ones closed indefinitely. The
trust can afford to lose II years divi
dends if necessary, but the employees
cannot afford to lose years work.
The strike is at present the laborinl
mans only protection, but it is a cost
ly and ineffective one. The ballot bo,
affords the only permanent and com
pletc remedy. If the laboring mar
would march to The polls and vote
with the party that favorS arbitra'
tion and opposes government by in
: junction and the blacklist, they would
be able to protect their interests
g without resort to strikes and lock-
/, outs. While the strike lasts let IT be
conducted within the law; when the
, strike il over let the men remember
10 vote the way they strike.

THE BELLED BUZZARD.

The "belled buzzard" has returned
once more to Boone county. Such
has been the rumor for several days,
and today it was positively verified by
c. s. Balew, of Harg, Mo-, SIX miles
east of Columbia, who saw the bird at
close view, says a Columbia (Mo. tele.
gram.
The belled btzzald d has been famous
here for many more years than men
can remember. 1t has bell fastened
to his throat. and has small iron
band also. Sometimes many years
elapse between the parting and the
coming of the bird, but it never fails
to return. The buzzard had been
given up for dead this time, and the
drouth.strickcn farmers were even
puzzled when they heard tinkling
in the sky and saw the grim bird soar
ing, but when the bell flashed in the
sunlight thew knew that the old.timc
visitor had come again.
This may be the last visit Of the
famous bird, for 1t is very old. Mr..
Ballew said that the buzzard had
turned gray. 1t seemed weary and
sluggish, and apparently Indifferent
when he approached, and did not fly
until he had good view OF the bell.
the origin Of which is unknown
There is something sinister in the
arrival at this time Of the strange
visitor, which, perhaps, has seen the
dawning of two centuries, and people
talk about the bird at times with a
touch of superstition.

and the Great Northsrn-Northern Pacific
So far as the gentlemen who have been
conducting the conferences have been
willing to speak, their utterances point
to a harmonious arrangement, and this
was reflected by strong undertone in the
general market, and more particularly
by the hardening tendency of Union Pa
cific, Southern Pacific and Northern Pa
cific preferred and other stocks which
would be affected by any deal. The mar
ket, however, remained very professional
and the public apparently keeps aloof.
The money market situation has again
assumed prominence, although but little
hardening of rates was occasioned by
the announcement that $2,S50,000 in gold
had been taken for shipment for Paris
by Thursdays steamer. Call rates rose
to per cent, and there was more firm
ness in the quotations for time money.
but as whole, the money market was
unmoved and acts as if financial inter-
ests were convinced that the time is ap-
preaching when decreasing reserves and
unfavorable bank statements will be re-
lieved by the return of money from the
interior.

as the market value of the shares is 500

$100-the assessable property of the COM
pany under the recent decision would be
$162,S00,0 COO If the company were to sur
render it's charter here and go to New

NEWS OF The RAILROADS
EXCHANGE CAR SERVICE.
A. r.. A. Take Up the Matter of
Charges.


A. r.. A. Take Up the Matter of
Charges.
The American Railway association has
taken up the matter of charges for ex-
change car service, with view to seeing
if a rule cannot be adopted that will in
crease materially the efficiency of freight
equipment and save the railroads several
millions of dollars annually in revenue.
A committee has been appointed, with
General Manager Hutchinson, of the
Pennsylvania as chairman, and a report
on the subject will be made at the next
semi-annual meeting to be held in New
York city. Under the present rules the
charges for exchange car service is made
on the mileage basis. AS result rail-
roads have become exceedingly lax in re-
turning borrowed cars. Consequently
when cars get far away from the line
owning them and become empty, the Off
Gals of the borrowing line do not return
them until they can send them back load
ed.
Although this is good thing for the
borrowing line, as it removes the neces-
sity Of hauling many empties, it tends
to place busy systems in a predicament
for equipment. 1t is the general opinion
that if the rule required a per diem
charge instead of a mileage charge, the
difficulty would soon be remedied.
A. w. Sullivan, president of the associa-
ton, had this to say: Il do not care to
anticipate the report of the committee,
but can say that / believe that with
per diem rule railroads could get at least
twenty per cent more service out of their
equipment than is enjoyed now. This be-
ing the case, such a rule would tend to
relieve car blockades, or rather to pre-
vent them, and would in large degree
relieve the car shortage. Owing to the
phenomenaliy increased freight traffic on
all the roads of the United States and the
impossihility of the equipment concerns
to keep up with the orders for new equip
ment. it is essential that the railroads
get every bit of service possible out OF
their equipment.
There is little doubt that the commit
tee will report in favor of per diem
rule and urge its strict enforcement by
all the railroads.

There has been a decided disposition to

plays confidence in the outcome. AT the
beginning CT the week the circulation of

selling movement and gave very weak
