SURE DEATH TO GHOULs.
A Lawyers Startling Device to Foil
Grave Robbers.

Grave Robbers.
Hodgin, the well known Westfield at
torney, to protect the grave of his wife
were made public the other day, says
a Noblesville Qnd.) dispatch TO the
Cincinnati Enquirer The plan has
been examined by experts, who unhesi-
tatingly say that it will put stop to
body snatching by ghouls. They not
only say the device will be effective,
but they also indorse it because it is
inexpensive.
A few inches above the rough box in
the grave is an ordinary gas pipe three
quarters of an inch in diameter filled
with nitroglycerin. The pipe occupies
position lengthwise of the coffin and
iextends from six to twelve inches. over
each end. There is a cap fastened
tightly on each end of the pipe to pre-
vent the deadly explosive from leak
ing. Scattered pr0miscnously through
the soil afaut foot or eighteen inches
above the pipe are several dozen con-
eussion caps. a spade or any hard sub
stance that comes in contact with these
caps will explode them. The jar will
in turn explode the nitroglyc erin,
which would mean death to any one
within Twenty-Five or fifty. feet of the
grave. 1t is aintimated that there is suf-
flcient nitroglycerin in the pipe to
make an excavation in the earth fifty
feet square and from ten to fifteen feet
deep.
While Mr. Hodgin admits that the
explosion would completely destroy the
body of his wife, he says lie would
rather see. that done than to kno7v that
the remains were ever on Il dissecting
table in medical college.
y.lnd would also know that thcre
would be some dead ghouls somewhere
in the vicinity Of the grave he said
THE plan is original with me and my
brother, but | am satisfied That il
would prove a success if It was ever
tried When / first mentioned the mat
f ter to the sexton of the cemetery. lie
refused to allow me to put in the de-
vice on the ground that it might result
in injurihg some innocent parties or
despoil other graves. / then consulted
the trustees who have charge Of tue
cemetery and obtained their consent.

ELECTRICITY 70 DO all.
A Texas County to Be Made Marvel
Through Its influence.


Fuel oil is destined to accomplish
many wonderful changes, the latest
and most striking of which has just
been announced. says a special dis
patch from New Orleans to the Chica-
go Inter Ocean. 1t sounds like fairy
tale, but $250000 in cash is to be in
vested in carrying out the plan, and
the Southern Pacific railroad is sup
porting IT, The plan has as its object
the turning of an unimportant Texas
county into a thriving center of life
and activity through the agency of
electricity.
Harris county is the place selected,
and the industry to be developed is the
raising of rice on an immense scale,
all the power TO be supplied by cleo
tricity, even to the flooding of the
fields, harvesting the crop, milling the
rough rice. lighting and heating the
homes of farmers and citizens of near
by towns. supplying heat for their
cooking stoves and supporting the
power for transporting the product
over network of trolley lines. Every
necessity and comfort of the people
will come through the agency of cleo
tricity.
Fue, oil will produce the steam
which will operate the big central
power plant, and through its use the
cost of operation will be just about
half what it would be were coal or
other fuel used. the oilfelds being only
short distance away and also located
on the main line Of the Southern Pa
cific.
The company will begin by equip
ping 10000 acre rice plantation that
cannot now be irrigated Wells are to
be bored, an abundance of water being
obtainable at depth Of fifty feet or
less in any portion Of the rice belt, and
the water drawn by electrically oper-
ated pumps. Each farmer will have
his own well and WILL be independent
of drought. A centrally located power
plant will supply all power. The men
who are behind the present revolution
in the plan Of rice cultivation assert
that the electrical method within a dec
ade will enable Louisiana and Texas
to supply large portion Of tho ace
product of the world

Never before in the history Of
0l17. tnl7ntrv has tho nllhlir mind
been as favorably impressed as
lin regard to agriculture. In
these days when the tendency of
the times is to divide the people
lof the cities into two classes,
I'millionaires and wage workers.
Farmers are regarded as being
particularly independent and
fortunate. tits true that the re-
Imotta prairie farmer may have
trouble in getting fuel, but here
where every farmer has fuel to
sell, and has everything else
necessary for his comfort and
| prosperity, he has no occasion to
worry about strikes in the coal
mines or drouths on the western
plains. As James j. Hill said
the other day, when a miner
takes a ton of ore or coal from
his mine it is gone never to re-
turn but the soil will produce It's
crop each season forever. With
the population of the United
States increasing at the rate Of
nearly two million a year, and
the the best public lands all TAX
en-, the land question is one of
growing Importance. Wealthy
men are now quietly acquiring
more land. All students Of
economic conditions realize that
III the future as density of popu-
lation comes, the men who have
only their labor to sell will be
more and more at a disadvantage.
The farmer will be independent
of fierce Industrial com petition,
and tie ceaseless burden Of the
struggle for commercial suprem
acy. The worker has the
most perishable commodity on
earth to sell. Today's labor
must be sold today, or it is LOST
forever. 1t will not keep until
the dawn Of tomorrow. 1t will
not keep as long as basket of
ripe tomatoes. | earnestly
desire to see every man who can
get pieceof land do SO, for the
benefit of himself and the well
fare Of those who are, or may
hereafter be, dependent upon
him; and | do not know of oppor-
tunities in this line anywhere
that are better.

seven comnoaest Dreams.

q Horace G.. Hutchinson's classified
tion Of the more frequent dreams, in
his recently published volume on
Dreams and Their Meanings" is
fairly complete. He says there are
seven common kinds: III the falling
dream-you are falling over preci-
pice or down the stairs; (2) the fly
ing dream-the dream that you can
fly; (3) the dream of more or less
inadequate clothing-that you are
not properly clothed; (4) the dream
of not being able to get away from
some beast, or injurious person or
thing, that is pursuing you; (5) the
dream of being drawn irresistibly to
some. dangerous place, such as fire;
(6) the dream that some darling
wish has been gratifed; and (7) the
dream of being about to go ON a
Journey, and being unable to get
your things into your trunks, etc.
But, az he adds, "no doubt there are
great many more"
