Knows the "Trib" Thoroughly.

The Rockford Star is opto the Chi
cago Tribune when il says:
The Chicago Tribune is 40 longer
an independent republican newspa-
per. 1t may complain, crfticise and
offer suggestions six months before
an election. but ON election day it will
support any old republican. he he
the old boy himself.
That is practically what the Trib-
une declares in an editorial directed
10 C0ngressman-etect Lorimer. The
Tribune is very angry at the blonde
boss because. as it claims, he is bent
on organizing the legislature. 1t says
Lorimer is a bold man and intimates
he is bad man. but declares if he is
again candidate for congress it will
support him. 1t would not support
him for local or state office. but will
urge people to vote for him if he seeks
reelection To congress.
The Tribune editorial is funny
enough to- add to the gayety of ma
tions. For instance. it asserts that
Lorimer is politically "a dead duck;
that the republicans of his district
really repudiated him in the late cleo

The Memory of n Bee.

Associative memory, says Professor
E. G.. Conklin of the University of
Pennsylvania, is the fused Impressions
of processes which occur together, so
that when one is recalled the other
comes with it. Then he adds: There
is no question whatever that q bee
leaving it's hive and flying for half
mile finds its way back by associative
memory. 1t must travel by land
marks; it cannot travel by any scent of
itself in the atmosphere. That is out
of the question" Among other crea-
lures giving evidence of the possession
of associative memory, which is the
first stage in the development of psy-
chic life, Professor COnklin mentions
ants and wasps, as well as cuttlefish,
squids and the higher mollusks. Birds
and many mammals show a high de-
gree of associative memory.

The failure of a number of the Chi
cagO papers bearing the date of Sun
day morning to chronicle the news of
the death of eX-Speaker Reed yester-
day morning, bore evidence of the
humbuggery of the metropolitan
journals to print their Sunday morn
ing papers Saturday night, and sub
stitute features of Il miscellaneous
character for current events of the
day. The same shortening. by the
way, is characteristic of papers that
occupy the evening field in Chicago
and elsewhere. but which are obliged
to go to press some hours in advance
of the time of circulation in outside
territory in order to reach trusting
subscribers in time to be read the
day of publication. Under such cir
cumstances the actual news of the
day is unavoidably the subject of sac
rifice. The local paper, supplied with
the Associated Press reports, that
reaches its subscribers hot from the
press. is always preferable, so far as
the general news is concerned.

HELPS AUSTRIAN SHIPPING
Government win Introduce Bill Re-
strictinE EmiErants to Ma
tiOnal Vessels.

VIENNA, Dec. 21.-Early in January the
government intends to introduce in the
Reichstag a bill to restrict and regulate
emigration. One Of the objects will be to
restrict all Austrian emigrants In Austrian
vessels from Trieste instead OF permitting
them to travel by German and other for
eign lines.
The Eremdenblatt, a semi -oficial organ, d,
supports the bill In the interests of home
shipping and estimates that In five years
Austro- Hungarian emigrants have taken
from the country 5000, 900 forms, the bulk
Of which has been paid to foreign railroads
and steamship lines II urges the i'm
portance Of emigrants retaining a sense Of
their Austrian citizenship as long as pos
sible and thinks the proposed bill will as
sist this end by enabling the government
to protect the emigrants beyond the first
stages OF their journey.
The new measure will follow the lines
OF the Hungarian bill now under parlia-
mentary consideration. The supporters OF
this bill report that emigrants not only
embark at Fiume. but insist that they be
carried on Hungarian ships, manned by
Hungarian crews and furnished with Hun
garian supplies.

DENVER, Dec. 21.-The storm which
ragged on Friday and Saturday in eastern
Colorado and Wyoming and western Kan
sas and Nebraska has at length subsded.
All trains on the Union Pacific and Bur
lington we're delayed at least twenty-four
hours and some trains due yesterday morn
ing are only reaching Denver tonight. On
the Kansas Pacific branch Of the Union Pa
cihc snow drifts from six to ten feet deep
made the movement OF trains impossible
until the tracks were cleared, but per-
haps II was most severe on the Denver and
Alliance branch of the Burlington. This
line runs to the Black Hills and trains
which left Denver on Friday were only re-
leased from the drifts today. One, which
was completely hidden from sight by the
snow, was relieved by snow plows from
Alliance, Neb. supply train was also run
from Mercer with fuel and provisions to
provide for the needs OF the imprisoned
passengers. 1t required desperate work to
reach the stalled cars through the blind
ing storm and almost impenetrable drifts.
The attention Of officials today has been
directed almost exclusively to getting the
trains going on schedule time again and
by tomorrow It is expected usual condi-
tions will prevail

FIGHT is GROWING COMPLEX
Teller Has Four Republican OppO-
nents for United states
Senator.

DENVER, Dec. 21-senator Henry NJ.
Teller arrived home from Washington to-
day to look after his interests in the con-
test for reelection. In addition to Mr..
Teller the announced candidates are: For
mer Senator Edward o. Wolcott, Frank G.
Goudy OF Denver, District Judge Walter N.
Dixon Of Pueblo and Irving Howbert Of
Colorado Springs. Teller claims the entire
democratic vote on joint ballot and will
probably get 1t, as there is no one op-
posed to him In the democratic party
The remaining four candidates will d.
vide the republican support. Goudy claims
to have ebout two-thifdsf Of the repubs
lican members OF the legislature pledged
and this claim is said by we'll informed
leaders not to be sanguine.
But much depends on the outcome OF
contests now before the state canvsssing
board. Should the democrats be seated the
house will stand: Democrats, S2; repub-
licans, 33.
The canvassing board contains two pop
ulists, elected through fusion with demo-
Gratis. Failure to accept propositions for
fusion at the present election held out by
populfsts has caused some i'll feeling and
1t is feared the populists will seek re-
venge now through their representatives on
the canvassing board.
The fitness OF a representative-elect at
Hot Springs, Ark, also complexities mat
ters. Should he be compelled to remain
away and the democrats be seated the vote
In the house would be a tie.

PIERCES HEART WITH NEEDLE
Chicago VivisectIOnist Demonstrates
Possibility of Administering
Local Treatment.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-After a series OF ex-
periments, covering more than Ave years,
w. Byron Coakley, a well-known vivisec-
Zionist Of Chicago, has discovered that II
is possible to administer local treatment
to the heart. BY means of fine hollow
golden needle, seven or eight inches long,
which he terms ''organotone, Dr. Coakley
not only has been able to pierce the heart
without causing death, but to inject into
1t various fluids without subjecting the pa
tient to the slightest danger
Thus far he has been compelled to con-
fine his experiments to dogs, rabbits and
similar animals, but so certain is he Of his
ground that he will attempt to secure
human subject for a demonstration he has
been asked to make before the International
Medical congress at Madrid. in 1903.
While at work over a dog recently the
doctor conceived the idea Of injecting
salt solution into the animals heart. To
his surprise sthe dog not only withstood
the shock, but the heart action was greatly
improved. This led him to make rnors ex-
tended investigations, and these resulted
in the verification OF his first experiment
Weak dogs, sick dogs and strong, healthy
dogs were used in the experiment and, il
is said, there was not one that did not
survive the injections.

its way into the last coaches OF the "Owl,"
which were filled with Fresno people. The
passengers were hurled 70 the forepart OF
the coach and hemmed In by a mass Of
debris. their suffering and danger intensi-
fed a hundred fold by clouds of scalding
steam that poured from the shattered
boiler of the Stockton engine.
After the "Owl" left the Oakland mole
It was noted that there was a leak in the
fue of the engine. This Increased to such
an extent that 1t was deemed advisable
to take up freight engine for relief The
train officials knew that the Stockton To-
cal was following half an hour behind and
sent a hagman down the track to give
warning.
1t is said that the Stockton train got
the warning signal in time and gave the
usual response with whistle blasts. Why
the incoming train was not checked, how
ever, has not been thus tar explained, the
men who could tell being among the badly
injured.
