PETITION IS REELECTED.
COUNTY COURT FAILS TO ACT ON
PUBLIC Library QUESTION.
Court Has No Authorsy-Legsaity OF
bers-A Great Disappointment.


County court at its session We'd
nesday considered the proposition EN-.
bodied in the petition presented sever
al days age by members of the Mar
tinsbnrg Library association, which
in substance, was a request that the
court appropriate the sum of $500
yearly toward the maintenance of the
public library of this city. This mat
ter had been held in allegiance by the
court, and it had been hoped that the
members would see their wav clear tc
grant the APPROPRIATION. The mem.
bers, however, failed to do so at its
meeting. and their failure TO act upon
it is taken TO mean that no aid can be
expected from them. 1t is claimed BY
the members of the court that they
had no authority to grant the peti.
ton, and their failure to act definite
ly is understood to mean rejection.
A similar petition is pending before
the board of education of this city.

court will have upon the other two

court was the auditing and ordering
paid of number of accounts against
the county. The accounts of the road
superintendent in the different dis
tricts in the county, which were pre-
sented were ordered paid, and all the
other superintendants, who have not
presented their bills, were ordered to
do so by the court. The court then

When the conductor on the train on

control. He hoped that some of the
trainmeu would make their way bach

certain death as the cars were lurch'

The men on the forward part of tn,

death, unless the train stuck to tn

HABITS AND HEALTH.
to Success on Account of
Public Indifference.

In La Nature is an interesting article
on the influence OF muscular energy in
eliminating alcohol which has been in
troduced into the blood. M. Grehant
made series Of experiments. dosing
with alcohol, and then examined the
blood after varying number of hours
He found that under ordinary circum-
stances the elimination of alcohol was
extremely slow. He then had con-
structed wheel. three meters In diane
ter, into which dog could be placed and
kept moving. Alcohol was introduced
into the stomd ch OF the dog, and after
five hours in the wheel its blood was
examined, when it was found that the
alcohol had diminished much more rap
idly than when the animal was not ex-
ercising. M. Grehant commends the
result Of his experiment to the consider
alton Of men who have somewhat over
INDUCED. and suggests that experiment
might show beneficial results from car
riage riding when the degree OF "ivresse''
was too great for watkins.
