TELRPATH PARTY.
Mr.. and BIrs. N. 5. Howard Pleasantly
Entertain Number Of Friends

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry s. Howard en-
tertained large company Of their
friends 1t their home on A Avenue
East Friday evening. The announce
ment on the invitations stating that
it was to be telepathic entertain
ment created considerable interest
among the guests and they were
richly rewarded. Misses Maud Lam
caster and Stella W;lloughby of Lon
don, England, were present and gave
the assembled guests treat which is
not often had in this city. Miss Lam
caster, while she does not claim to be
a mind reader, has wonderful pow
er of locating objects and persons
without other directions than the
thoughts of her audience and she
gave several tests of her skill which
quite fascinated all present. She first
laid rose and carnation together
and requested lady to touch the
rose and gentleman the carnation.
This being done Miss Lancaster re-
turned blind folded and after but
slight hesitation returned the rose to
Mrs. A. @. Hayes, the lady who touch
ed it. The carnation was then given
to j. A. Dewitt, the gentleman IN
question.
She then requested the company to
enact a murder scene while she was
in an adjoining room. Accordingly
w. s. Lacy took knife and went
through the performance of cutting
the throat of DR.. O. III. Hare. He
then hid the knife and returned to
his seat. Miss Lancaster returned
and having found the knife without
any apparent directions, crossed to
| DR.. Hare and initiated Mr.. Lacy g
movements. She then went to Mr..
Lacy and after some hesitation
brought him to Will Kalbach who
had been deputized as a policeman.
The whole performance was done
without word and fascinated every
one present. Miss Lancaster does not
attempt to explain her power except
that it depends upon the thought
waves which come from the various
, people present.
After this part of the entertainment
was concluded Miss Willoughby gave
several readings and dialect pieces
which sent the company into peals o.
laughter.
Mrs, Chas. Cowgirl and Mrs. Harry
: Cammack favored the company will
vocal solos which were highly appre
ciated. Refreshments were serveC
and the evening was declared to b.
one of the most ever spent

A NEW PARTY.
Launching the National Lib
erty Party.

Cincinnati, O., Jan. 27.-The nation
al liberal party was organized here
Sunday by representatives from all
parts of the country. The preamble
to the new constitution, that was
adopted, declares for the separation
of church and state to the extent of
abolishing chaplains in the army and
navy, legislative bodies and all pub
lie institutions, the taxation of
church property and abandonment of
Sabbath observances. The national
liberal party is the amalgamation for
political purposes of free thinkers,
and it is more distinctly in politics
than the American Secular union.
The temporary organization, formed
at Buffalo last October, with T. ].
Bowles, of Muncie, Ind, as president
and w. F. Jamison, of Cincinnati, as
secretary, and in charge OF the ma
tional convention Sunday, but new
officers win be elected to-day. The
free love element was not admitted
into the new organization, but the
woman suffragists were admitted.

A January Tandem Ride

Two of the High school boys rode
their tandem to Ottumwa Friday
morning to visit friends and relatives
at that place and to attend the gradu-
ating exercises held at the Ottumwa
High school Friday night. The time
made going by the way of Fremont
was two hours and hall, and return
ing Saturday afternoon by the way
of Kirkville and Cedar, three hours.
They started at 2 o'clock, just as it
began to snow, and the boys say that
it certainly was ga gale from the
northeast"

"A WINDY SHOT. !"
Explanation Of Supposed Cause
of Explosion.

Since the concenus of opinion Is
that Windy Shot"lcaused the ex.
plosion in the Lost Creek mines, in
quiry has been general as to what
constitutes windy shot. In an in
terview with a HERALD reporter an
old time mine attache said:
"a wildly shot is the blowing out
from a drill hole theIpowder intend
ed to dislodge a. certain amount of
solid coal"
"What is dust explosion?"
ga dust explosion is also an aborted
shot but carries with it fans of
burningcpowder which ignites the
dust"
"Do the windy shots ever cause
damage ?"
"They often cause much damage
by force of their conclusion"
"of what is this mine dust compos-
ed?"
Mostly coal ground to a fine
powder, it contains some oil which
falls from the car wheels and is thor
oughly mixed with the dust by travel,
thus making it more inf1amable."
"What causes this dust to ignite?
The most plausible theory to my
mind is that they are the result of a
delayed shot; this is possibly caused
by the use of very long fuse orper-
haps one that is imperfect. In either
case they would be Glow to ignite the
powder. Il The fact that the explosion
occurred between firing time and the
hour to resume work strengthens my
opinion, that it was the result of a
delayed shot"
"Why do these explosions not oc-
cur at the regular firing timer"
"They may but my opinion is that
the delayed shots are the more dan
gerous, for this reason: after the fir
ing is over the fan is caused to in
crease its revolutions, thus driving
the air at more rapid rate in order
to force the powder smoke from the
mine.
The meeting of the cold air from
without. with the 1 warm air from
within, in my opinion, causes much
the same effect as the meeting of the
hot and cold currents in the open at
mosphere, which sometimes produces
the phenomena called cyclones.
If one of these cyclones were pass
ing along an entry: necessarily car
rying with it clouds of dust: it il
easy to conceive how flame of fire
driven into this dust would cause il
to ignite and affect an explosion
Thus adding to the impetus of thi'
underground cyclone.

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.
Consideration of Tariff Measure -
During the Week.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The senate
will de4ote it's principal attention this
week to the Philippine tariff bill. 1t is
the purpose of Senator Lodge, who is
in charge of the bill, to keep it before
the senate persistently until it is dis
posed of. He does not count on final
action for some time. 1t is not the
present purpose of the friends of the
bill to debate it, but the attacks which
will be made on it and upon the entire
administration of Philippine affairs in
evitably will bring replies from many
Of the republican senator's. It is I'M
derstood that majority of the sena-
tors on the democratic side of the
chamber will be heard before the bill
is passed. Among those who will
speak early are Senators Carmack,
Money, Teller, Culberson, Turner, Pat
terson, Jones (Arl.) and Bacon. Sen
ator Lodge will seek the earliest OPP
portunity to have the amendments
recommended by his committee for
mally adopted, but probably will not
press these when senators are pre-
pared to proceed with set speeches.
Senator Nelson will take advantage of
every chance to have the bill creating
a department of commerce considered,
with the hope of securing action upon
it during the week if possible.
