METAL BALLS RUN THIS CLOCK.

~THE most expensive clock now in ex-
4 istence is one owned by the Roths-
child family. 1t dates from the time of
Louis VI, and cost S165,000. There are
many other valuable clocks, some of
them very old and exhibiting seemingly
inexplicable features.
One of these has on top basin, mark
ed like a dial and filed with water, on
which floats a miniature swan of iron.
The bill of this swan indicates the hour
as correctly as does the second hand of
an cd nary clock. AS the swan floats
freely in the basin and the basin rested
loosely on the pedestal, the clock greatly
puzzles the uninitiated. Yet the expla-
nation is simple. The basin rests on
thin copper plate: underneath this plate
the clockwork rotates a magnet instead
of an hour hand. and this magnet at
tracts and holds in proper position the
bill Of the iron swan.
A springless clock is operated by balls
falling on the right side of an overshot
wheel and by their weight rotating the
hands. Whenever a ball reaches the
lowermost position it drops through an
aperture in the box at the bottom and at
the same time another ball drops from
the box on top of the wheel. From time
to time the balls in the lower drawer
have to be removed by hand to the up
per receptacle.

HIS NERVE SAVED HIM.

At the little mining town of Bruce, in
Crawford county, Kan, Tom Kelly was
shot and killed by John Schwitzer dur
Ing row in Schwitzer's joint Kelly had
invited some friends to take drink
when Schwitzer said, You will have u
show me-" meaning that money must be
placed in sight. This fired Kelly, and he
made an insulting remark and grabbed
up a chair, with the presumable pur-
pose Of knocking Schwitzer down. And
at that Schwitzer drew revolver and
killed Kelly in his tracks.
Then an extraordinary scene was wit
messed. The crowd pushed up against
the bar with cries Of Lynch him! Lynch

to kill him. Boys he said, take the

was present, sprang to the bar. seized
the revolver, leve,led it a. Schwitzer's

as the weapon exploded some onne

place, Schwitzer never twitched a muscle
or quivered an eyeld. If it was bluff
it was a magnificent one. 1t cowed the
crowd to such an extent that Schwitzer
was escorted to the Girard Jail without
further talk Of lynching, and there he is
now.

A government expert says. in a recent

probably worse than in any other civil

largely to the lack of knowledge on the

not been disgraced. He is not charged
with embezzlehent, robbery, murder or
felony, but with disobeying an order of
one court which was in conflict with his
duties under an order of another court.
He acted upon the advice of his attorney.
and did it for the purpose of obtaining
review of the case by the supreme court
Of the United States. Debs was sent to
Jail for contempt of court and no one
considered him disgraced. Many other
instances of like nature have occurred in
the court annals and those charged with
contempt were not disgracod. We pre-
dict that if this sentence is utilized by
McKenzie's enemies to retire him to the
political graveyard, they will find him
very much alive corpse, as his friends
will rally to his support.

The California court ordered him to turn
over his funds to another party, and he
was advised that he was liable to the
court which appointed him, and that the
California court had no jurisdiction, SO
ne refused. The matter was taken to
the supreme court at Washington and
the decision was that he should obey
the order Of the California court, and
thereupon he complied with the order.
For his refusal to comply with the order
until the appeal had been determined he
was committed for contempt. The right
of appeal from the order of any court is
as sacred right as the right to defend
an action, and the California court has
gone long way outside of justice and
equity to construe this action into con-
tempt. McKenzie's friends-and they
are numbered by the thousands-will
not allow the matter to rest here.

EXTRA SESSION.
1t May Yet Be Avoided if Congress
Only Declares Our Attitude Toward

1t May Yet Be Avoided if Congress
Only Declares Our Attitude Toward
Cuba.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-An
effort is being made by the republican
leaders to avoid extra session of con-
gress. 1t depends upon the demo-
cratic leaders. 1t is said there has
been considerable doubt as to whether
President Mckinley would, under any
circumstances, be willing to assume
the responsibility of passing the Gu
ban constitution and relations with
Cuba unless the constitution had first
been sent to congress.
The president has at last consented
IN response to overtures from almost
the entire republican representation
in the senate to take charge Of the
constitution when it is sent here, pro-
vlded congress shall declare whether,
in it's opinion. the United States should
have the right to intervene in Cuba,
to have voice in the islands foreign
affairs, to pass upon the question of
the creation of an enormous bonded
debt, to supervise the sanitary com
mercial intercourse and to have coal
ing stations.
II congress meets this question the
president is willing to take the respon-
sibility of conducting the negotia-
tions with Cuba without calling an
extra session. He told the senators
this, and that explains the remark
able activity, among democratic and
republican senators alike, in seeking
to reach an agreement SO that they
may return home to attend to their
private affairs.
The democratic party still remains
an unknown quantity. A large ma
jority of the republican senators are
pledged to tne program of meeting the
presidents views on the Cuban ques-
tion in an amendment to the army
appropriation bill. The most ultra
opponents of any policy that permitted
the United States to have any hand in
Cuban affairs-Teller and Money
have in measure been won over to
this plan of avoiding an extra session.
Before this plan can be carried out
Jones of Arkansas and his associates
must be brought into the fold.

SELF DEFENSE.
Authorities Will Probably Take no
Further Action in the Shoot
ing of Brucker.

Further Action in the Shoot
ing of Bruclzer.
The Dickey county authorities will
probably take no further action in the
shooting of Charles Brucker by his wife.
A coroner's jury has rendered verdict
that the shooting was done in self de-
fense. Brucker and bis wife had had
frequent quarrels and Brucker appears
to have been abusive and quarrelsome
Mrs. Brucker, who killed her husband,
gave the following account of the shoot
ing.
At about dusk the family noticed
Brucker approaching the house alone
in a rig. There were in the house at the
time Mrs. Brucker, her father and
mother, her youngest brother, John Ia
young man of about 20 years. and Gott-
lieb Jerke and his wife, near neighbors
of the family. Brucker came to the door
and finding it locked broke it in. He
was Immediately seized by the three
men. He .cowed down and he then
promised to behave himself. He lay
upon the lounge for some time cursing
and making all kinds of threats, when
like flash he sprang to his feet and
rushed to the opposite corner of the
room, grabbing the shot gun from the
wall, he took aim at the old gentleman,
who seized the muzzle of the weapon
and raised it above his head while Mr..
Jerke clinched Charley and held him.
The three men bound him hand and foot
and determined to keep him thus secure
until he could be turned over to the au-
thorities at Ellendale. The son went to
neighbor to ask advice as to the proper
way OF delivering up the prisoner and
then came on to town to meet his father,
who had returned Mr.. Brucker's livery
rig, while Mr.. Jerke was left to stand
guard. Brucker made terrible threats
to Mr.. Jerke, saying that to kill him
would be his first act after once getting
loose.
This frightened Ers. Jerke until she
became so nervous that her husband
was obliged to accompany her home and
leave Mrs. Brucker and her mother
there alone with the captive. After hav-
ing been bound he complained of the
straps being too tight upon his wrists
and they were loosened somewhat
Here was where the mistake was made.
His wife observing that he was making
desperate efforts to work slack enough
to free his hands, warned him that if he
succeeded she would shoot. This did
not alter his efforts, and he soon freed
both hands. In an instant he made a
dash for his wife, but his feet being
tightly bound, as soon as he rose to his
full height he reeled and started falling

that the charge exploded.
Mrs. Brucker and her mother, who
was now almost distracted, were obliged
to remain with the dead body for several
hours till the father and son arrived.
