The Pittsburg Dispatch says: "We
have heard something of the German
trusts, but there seems to be one feat
ure in the German system that the
trust organs do not tell Of. An ex-
general director of a German manu-
featuring company has been convicted
and sentenced to Imprisonment for
violating the laws against monopoliz-
ing the markets" There is very ex-
plicit law on the United States statute
books whereby men in this country
who seek to corner the necessities of
life and thus impose upon the people
may be sent to jail; but no effort has
been made to enforce this law and
although the question "Why is the
criminal law not enforcedPn has re-
peatedly been asked, no representa-
tive o. the administration has at
tempted to provide an explanation

The Supreme Court on Faith Cure.

At Nevada, In Missouri, there is an
institution called the American School
of Magnetic Healing, managed by one
j. H. Kelley, who, it would seem, sends
out daily, through some eighty-four
typewriters, certain healing instruc-
tons purporting to have the power of
healing by '.the absent treatment"
Upon the application Of the post
master at Nevada, the Postmaster
General issued a so-called 'fraud
ORDER" declaring the business of this
school Of healing to be fraudulent, for
bidding to it the use Of the mails and
ordering the return of all mail matter
addressed to 1t.
Kelley brought an action in the
United States Court In Missouri, asking
for an injunction to restrain the execu-
tion OF the Postoffice Departments
order, but he was defeated in his ap-

IRONTON, MO
UNCLE SANS ACTIVE VOLCANO
Thrown Lava and Dust a Dis
tance of $50 Miles.

Looking over the volcano assets of
the United States within the last
fortnight it has been said that this
country has not one active cone now
in its territory. However, c. T. Peri
olaf, of Chicago, reports the Tribune,
feet high, has covered the Alaska
brings evidence that to the northwest
of Cooks Inlet, Mount Redoubt, 5000
feet high, has covered the Alaskas
SHOWS six inches deep with volcanic
dust for a radius of more than $50
miles and that at distance of 125
miles the light of the lava that is
now coursing down it's sides made it
possible for a person to read a news
paper in the depths of the arctic
night.
Recently" said Mr.. Periolat, 81
have seen some references to the
phenomenon of ashes scattered over
Unalaska, and this, with the accom-
panying statement that no volcano ID
American territory is active, would
lead one to suspect that these vol
canic ashes had blown from some
Asiatic country.
"As matter of fact Mount Redoubt
has been verging on eruption for sew
eral years past, and according to
news which 1 have from Alaska, dat
ed last January, the whole top of
Mount Redoubt was blown away in
December. Since that time there is
reason to believe that the cone has
been in active eruption. This would
account for the ashes in all directions
from the mountain-ashes so thick
that it has been impossible for the
mails to be sledded according to
schedules.
''I am familiar with the whole coun-
try surrounding this cone, and have
been at the base of the peak every
year since 1898. For ten years the
crater has been steaming in a threat
ening manner, and in 1901 1 took sew
eral photographs of it, one from the
southeast, showing the vapor column
plainly, and the other view from the
north, but rather too far to make the
column of vapor plain. In Septem-
Der of that year, while was on the
way home, a vessel which had just
come into the inlet was besieged by
frightened Indians who were anxious
to report an earthquake which had
just shaken the mainland. Some of
the officers of our steamers had no.
ticed the shock at sea.
"This, no doubt, was one of the rum
blings Of old Redoubt, and the letter
which have just received from my
French foreman shows to my satis-
faction the source of the volcanic ash
that has been SO remarked in Una
laska. This man is at least 1875 miles
from the cone, and he writes that in
January, when there were only two
hours of daylight in the "a, he could
read newspaper by the light of the
lava then flowing. He said that the
whole top of the cone had been
blown away with detonation that
could be heard at Knik trading post,
and that the Indians trapping in the
vicinity of the cone were much
alarmed"

GAS FLAME MAKES MUSIC.
The Singular Instrument Designed
by an Eminent Scientist of
New York City.

Few men who deal in science from
the abstract standpoint ever evolve
anything practical from their theories,
but Prof. Ogden Rood has proved an
exception, reports New York eX-
change. A New York mechanic has
constructed, upon the professors sug-
gestion, musical instrument of de-
cidedly novel description. Until in
formed no one would ever recognize
the apparatus. 1t is part of the chande
lier in the owners drawing-room. The
basis of the affair is the so-called mu-
steal fame. When gas is burned in a
cylindrical chimney of certain length
and width it produces musical note.
According to the angle at which the
vapor is emitted from the jet there
will be either a sound or silence. A
simple contrivance enables the owner
by touching button to change the
flame from musical to nonmusical at
his will There are 80 lamps in his
chandelier so arranged sto make four
octaves. The ekeyboardis in corner of
the room, where it occupies but little
space and might easily be mistaken
for a convenient shelf on the wall. The
music produced by the flames is very
pleasant. Tt is not SO loud nor so vi
brant as that from either wood or
brass wind instruments, but is fuller
and more sonorous than whistle or
flute.
An odd feature Of the instrument is
that playing on the flames does not
vary the amount Of light produced, the
musical being indistinguishable from
the nonmusical flame. All that the
spectator notices is delightful mel
ody of unusual timbre coming to him
from the chandelier.
The owner has frequently had con-
siderable fun by playing the instru-
ment when some one was in the room
or hall that knew nothing of the af-
fair. When the auditor was educated
he was puzzled and looked about the
parlors in vain for the new-fangled
music box he believed to be at work.
Where he was ignorant he usually man.
Tested some fear along with his be-
wildArment.

Republican Kansas.

The charge has been made and sub
stantiated by definite reports that the
Republicans stole the state OF Kansas
body and soul 10 the late election. The
Kansas City World, with commendabe
enterprise, has unearthed scheme Of
corruption in that state that would be
shame to any civilized nation. Not
resting with the simple statement that
frauds we're committed, the World has
obtained from reliable parties through
out the state exact reports as to how
many ballots were stolen and just how
the theft was committed. In speak
Of the matter that paper says:
Apparently the scheme OF rejecting
fusion ballots on alleged technicalities,
was the one most successfully resorted
to. With nothing like complete infor.
nation received as yet, the World feels
safe in saying that at least 4, 900 fusion
ballots were rejected in the Seventh
Congressional district and over 5000
In the sixth district. This proportion
was no doubt maintained in all other
districts of the state.
Was ever such wholesale robbery
committed, save under Republican
regimep It reminds one strongly o
the old days when Count Rodman wat
Republican Secretary OF State in Mis-
souri,, and hand in glove with Pa
Dyer, euchered Col. Switzler out OF |

EARTHQUAKES IN NEW YORK
Seismic Disturbances Which Have
Shocked the Empire State
in Years Past.

New York has felt four earthquake
shocks in the last 23 years.
The first of the four was in October,
1870. 1t was a rather smooth, gentle
vibration and was felt throughout the
state. The amount of vibration, as re-
ported, was practically the same at all
points within a considerable radius of
New York city. At no place was it Sc
we're enough to do any damage, states
the World.
The greatest shock ever known in
New York was in August 10, 1884. This
was particularly remarkable on ac-
count of the large area Influenced. The
shock was felt simultaneously for 500
miles inland, from the coast, and for
thousand miles north and south
along it.
William A. Eddy, who made care
full study of the disturbance, took 2S9
time observations, and, calculating on
the time that was required for the Vi
brations to reach various points, he
claimed that the center of the dis
turbance was about 500 miles below
the earth's surface, and almost direct
ly below Long Island.
The famous Charleston earthquake,
which killed 40 people, was felt in New
York. This was on August %, 1886,
and the shock was felt in New York
and throughout the region south of it
on the same day 1t was not strong
here, but was OF enough force to be
plainly perceptible to everyone.
The last shock felt in New York
was half an hour after midnight on
March s, 1898. The disturbance was
entirely local, though it was felt on
Long Island. The greatest vibration
was between Tenth and Eighteenth
streets, but it was plainly felt through
out the city. Many people were awak-
ened, the animals in the Central Zoo
were greatly disturbed and expressed
their fright in wild cries, billiard
games throughout the city were
spoiled by the sudden unaccountable
movement of the balls, and water was
| spilled from glasses on the tables OF
some of the restaurants. The move
ment lasted about five seconds.
| Since 1898 there must have been many
earth movements, but were not strong
enough to be observed without instru-
ments. The seismograph of William
A. Eddy, at Bayonne, N. j., recorded
quite strong vibration on March %
of this year, when there were disturb
ances in Mexico, and in the three weeks
preceding that four series of vibra-
tions were recorded on the smoked
glass plate that hangs under the pen
dulums.
The Martinique outburst, however,
appears to have been more superficial
and explosive in character, as no vi
brations were recorded on the instru-
ments.
Shocks have been felt at other times
in other parts of the Atlantic seaboard
and some have influenced other parts
of New York state.

supreme Court at Washington. That
court, in majority opinion rendered
by Mr.. Justice Peckham, has just re-
versed the order of the lower court,
holding that the business was not be-
lug conducted in violation of the laws
of the United States and that, in fact,
it was not covered by any statute.
The Supreme Court sends the case
back to the District Court for trial,
ordering that court to take evidence
on the issue of fact whether the busi-
ness conducted by the school is fraudu-
lent or not, and, meantime, tempor-
ary injunction is granted against the
carrying out of the Postmaster-Ge
erals order.
The postoffice officials, it is said, fear
this decision will prevent further pro-
ceeding against fraudulent bond invest
ment concerns or bucketshops, because
it may be difficult to prove that such
concerns are, in fact, inspired with
fraudulent intent.
This apprehension is certainly not
we'll grounded. because there is DO
parity or likeness between bucketshop
concerns and faith cures, as is shown
by the very able opinion of Judge Peck
ham. The Judge draws attention to
the fact that persons who have dealt
with the school are satisfied with it's
method Of treatment, and have faith
in its efficacy and its ability to heal,
He says that just exactly to what ex-
tent the mental condition affects the
body no one can accurately and def
nitely say, and that even intelligent
people differ among themselves az to
the extent of this mental effect. He
adds:
Gas the effectiveness of almost any
particular method of treatment of dis
ease Is to a more or less extent, a
fruitful source OF difference of opinion,
even though the great majority may
be of one way of thinking, the efficacy
OF any special method is certainly not
matter for the decision of the Post
master. General within these statutes
relative to fraud. Unless the question
may be reduced to one of fact, as dis.
tinguished from mere opinion, we
think these statutes cannot be invoked
for the purpose of stopping the de-
livery of mail matter"
Under the power invoked, were il
available, he, thinks the Postmaster,
General could exclude from the mails
all letters to one who practiced vacci-
nation, or all letters sent out by
homeopathic physicians, or, possibly,
against all physicians of what is called
..the old school" The efficacy OF any
cure cannot be averred as a matter ol
fact, but is, in all cases, question oi
opinion, and as the opinions enter
tained cannot be proved to be false il
cannot be proved, as a matter of fact,
that those who maintain them obtair
their money by false pretences OF
promises.
! This decision is of far-reaching i'm
portance because of its probable bear
ing on the doctrines and practice O.
the Christian Scientists. N Y. Sun

STOLE CASH BOX
Gambling Resort at Omaha
Held Up by Two Nervy
Robbers.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 1S.-Two robbers
held up dozen men in gambling room
over the saloon of Cliff Cole at Fourteenth
and Douglas streets at 4 o'clock this
morning and secured the cash box and
5000 in money from the customers Of the
place. They were captured ten minutes
later by squad of policemen. They gave
the names of Frank Williams and Frank
Jones. =
The robbery was bold one, occurring
in the heart of the city, and neither dR
the men was masked. They drew revol-
vers and ordered the men in the room to
hold up their hands. After securing their
money and the cash box Of the concern
they rushed down stairs into Douglas
street, where a policeman gave chase
firing several shots after them. ~
A call was turned in to the police sta
ton and wagon load of policemen was
sent to the scene. One of the robbers
ran out Of an alley and into the arms OF
a policeman; the other was found in a
hallway. At the station both men ad-
mitted their identity and. said they had
lost their money in the place and thought
their game was as fair as that Of the
gambling house. All of the money taken
from the cash box was found on the men.

EXPLODED
Locomotive Boiler Lets Go
and Kills Engineer and
Fireman.

Victor, Iowa. Jan. 1S.-As the Denver
limited passenger train, No. 5. of the Rock
Island was passing through this town this
morning at 5:o5 the boiler Of the engine,
No. 500. exploded and caused the death
of the engineer and fireman and slight in
jured to two porters and brakeman.
The killed are: -
W. Williams. of Brooklyn, Iowa, en-
gineer. IS ....a....-
E. Hoar. of Valley Junction, Iowa, fire
man. ':,.... ...-. ,.5..' .--
The accident took place within 25O feet
of the station and the noise of the ex-
plosion aroused the whole town. The
force threw every one Of the seven
coaches Of the train from the track, but
only overturned the Des Moines Pullman.
Fortunately the passengers were unin-
jured. Pieces OF the wrecked engine were
strewn around to distance of two hun
dred d'eet and the boiler was found 100
feet away.
The causes leading to the explosion will
never be known, owing OF the death of the
engineer and fireman. Superintendent
Lawrence of this division arrived in a
special at o'clock from Des Moines. He
refused to make any statement. The
bodies of the engineer and fireman were
horribly mangled and were found only q
short distance away.
The Official Version.
Chicago, Jan. 18.-The official statement
given out at the general Offices of the
Rock Island says the engine of the train
leaving Chicago at 10 o'clock last night
dropped her crown sheet at Victor
wrecking the engine and throwing the
baggage car, buffet and four sleepers on
their sides. Engineer W. Williams and
his fireman (name unknown) were in
stantly killed and Baggagemaster Shaffer
was injured. The passengers escaped
without injury"
