The Kansas city Times says:

The Kansas City Times says:
Senator Chester I. Long is expected
to return from his brief Washington
visit today or tomorrow. Cyrus Leland
came down from Topeka last night and
said he would remain over today. he
expects to greet Mr. Long on his arrival
and talk politics with him before cross
ing the state line.
IF the weather is fair tomorrow
think I shall attend the races said Nj.
Leland at the Blossom House last night
The race for the federal judgeship is
thought to be the one in which he Is
the most interested

FOURTH AT BRYAN'S.
Tom Johnson Was the Orator of
the Occasion.

Lincoln, Neb., July 4.-The Jefferson club
celebration of Independence day took place
at Fairview, the country home of William
]. Bryan. Crowds from the city and from
the state filled the little public park sur
rounding the house. Tom L. johnson.
mayor of Cleveland, who had been accom-
panied to Lincoln by Louis F. Post of Chi
cago, was the principal speaker. Howard
s. Taylor city prosecuting attorney of Chi
cago, also spoke. Mr.. Bryan introduced
Tom johnson.
Mr.. Johnson took as his subject Local
Self-government'' and devoted his speech
almost wholly to his work in Ohio This,
he explained was because he had no in
terest in national questions. On the con-
trary, he regarded the principles of the
Declaration of Independence as of univer-
sal application from the smallest local
government to the widest scope of national
government.

It is likely that the number of scabs
will be more numerous Sunday than
they are today. The town is rapidly
filling up with them. There is hardly
a small boy in town who has failed to
get two or three.
1t used to be the custom, in the olden
times, to catch a stray dog and make
him an unwilling participant in the fes-
tivities of July by hitching a bunch
of firecrackers to some portion of his
anatomy where it would do the most
good. This has been changed and it is
the street cars which are made to suf-
fer instead of the helpless dogs. Some
one has put on the market a sort of
modification of the railroad signal tor
pedo, and people with money to invest
are rapidly taking these articles off the
market and putting them. on the car
tracks. Sometimes fifteen or twenty of
them are strung along in a row, and
when a street car runs into che ambus-
cade, there is something doing 1t
makes more noise than a battery of
gatling guns. The cannOnade is terrific.
and IT seems as though the running gear
OF the street cars will be hODelessly
wrecked. 1t is reported as a fact that
one street car was blown off the track
this morning.
1t rained hard Friday night, and ac-
cording to the latest returns. 4.977 pic
MICS in the city of Topeka were spoil
ed. Nearly everybody seems to have
taken out stock in some picnic scheme
or other. They We're a more popular in
vestment that Chanute oil stock or
Thunder Mountain gold mines. The
noise of the collapsing picnic parties
could be heard all over town through
cut the night

the Kansas City and Omaha districts

maximum temperature, was "a, and the
same was reported in Indiana. whit

ROOTS MESSAGE

Cyclists Decide to Draft Bicy-
Gle Sidewalk Ordinance.

About a dozen bicyclists met at the
T. A. A. rooms last night and resolved
to draw up an ordinance, to be submit
ted to the city council, allowing wheel
men to ride on sidewalks.
The efforts of the wheelmen to secure
the right to ride on sidewalks is like the
six frogs in the puddle which made the
passerby believe that he could get
carload in that puddle for shipment to
New York. A handful of wheelmen
make a mighty lot of fuss about riding
on sidewalks.
p. H Forbes was elected chairman
and John Dawson and Fred Slater were
appointed to draw up the ordinance. 1t
was understood that it shall provide
that the cyclists must use lights and
bells and pay a license fee.
If the use of Sidewalks by wheelmen
is dangerous it Is difficult to see how a
license would correct the evil.

There have been two cooler Fourths

mercury was down to 81. and July 4,
1892 the government thermometer got
down to 56.
The hottest Fourth since 1887 was in
1901, when the mercury was up to 102.
In the last II years there has been rain

All Who Could Went Out of
Town to Celebrate.

Chicago. July 4-Independence day
was ushered in with intense heat the
thermometer at midnight registering 81,
while at 10 a. m. the mercury stood at
S. Suburban trains and all lake steam
ers were besieged during the early
hours by thousands of people who were
endeavoring to escape from the swell

had old time celebrations with speeches
and amusements of all descriptions.
Senator McCullom was the orator of the
day at the Onwentzia club at Lake

TO TRADE IN FUTURES.
New Orleans Board of Trade
May Open Grain Market.

New Orleans, July 1.-The board Of
trade is considering the idea of estab-
fishing a department for trading in con-
tracts for future delivery of grain.
President Lafayette has already APP
pointed a committee to look into the
feasibility of future trading.
New Orleans is now the chief grain
exporting city of the United States and
grain men think they should be given
a chance to hedge on deliveries in New
Orleans instead of being obliged to USE
the ST. Louis OF Chicago markets.

Many Picnics Spoiled by the

OF July. It has been suspected for some
days that this fact would be developed
IN due time.
So far there have been no deaths re-
ported, but other reports are too numer-
GUS to mention. 1t is almost one con-
tinuous report. Newspaper men have
reason to be worried, for it seems as
though nearly everybody in town is a
reporter. There is talk of organizing a
union to protect the old and expert
anced men from the scabs.

When, Then, Do We Die?


der, and death ensued. The question
was at once asked whether such
resurrection were not applicable to
man also, and Mr.. Robin entreated M.
Brown Sequard to make the attempt.
So convinced was he, however. that
the functions of life were thoroughly
restored by the process, that he re-
fused to experiment upon the head of
any man, executed after the French
mode, upon the ground that he could
not consent to be party to the tor
lures either head or trunk would un-
dergo when by his means temporarily
restored to life.
Another Psychologist, NJ. Paul Bert,
has pursued the same train of investi-
CATION by another method. Reasoning
from Brown Sequard and Robins ex-
periments, and upon the well known
fact that after apparent death the
muscles become rigid by degrees only,
! first those of the jawbone, then of the
! abdomen, then of the neck, and then
of the breast, and convinced that or
| ganic death is a matter of more pro-
]
! lieved, he cut off the tails of two old
rats and grated them, one upon the
head and one upon the back of two
others The tails speedily united
with the new organism and became
as full of life as when attached to the
body of their first possessor. NJ. Bert
! intends again to cut off these tails
when the rats grow old again TO en-
graft them and ascertain whether life
thereby can not be indefinitely pro-
! longed. We are not physicians, but
it certainly would seem feasible if
such experiments are successful in
the case of the higher animals, upon
whom they will certainly be tried, to
remove an arm or leg from a man
recently dead and graft them upon a
one armed or one legged veteran from
the wars as a better substitute for the
limb he has lost than any which the
skill or art of man can make.
Almost everyone has heard of the
attempts to restore animation by the
electric battery made from time to
time since Aldini first tried it at
Boulogne, in 1902, and every physiolo-
gist will recollect the famous case in
Glasgow, when, an hour after execu-
ton by hanging rage, horror, despair,
agony, and terror were distinctly seen
portrayed upon the countenance of the
dead when submitted to the battery.
But by this means no man has hither-
to been restored permanently to life.
The Friend Academy of Sciences, in
1913, thought it, however, of such inn
portance that they refused to recog-
nize the cessation of the action of the
heart as conclusive proof of or
ganic death, and considered it esta5-
lished only by the setting in of putre
faction or muscular immobility under
the battery The fact remains, and 1t
may now be considered as incontest-
ably demonstrated, that man does not
die all at once; that one or more mem
bers live and one or more functions
retain their vitality after all apparent
life is gone. We are no longer COM
PEELED to believe that the story of the
head of Madame Elizabeth blushing
at an insult offered by the execution
er. in the dreadful days of the reign
OF terror, is altogether a myth, alto
