The capacity OF a watch for keeping
good time is very much governed by
its construction and its more or less
perfect finish. 1t cannot be expected
OF the best horizontal watch that it
should always keep good time and even
less so of the inferior make of machine
made watches. The changes of oil. the
variation in temperature. the diversity
of humidity or atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going of u watch. Indeed. it
is only the most perfect finish which
n~eutraliZes tie adverse influences TO
the greatest degree. As a matter of
fact, nc watch keeps perfectly correct
sine. and eyen the best chronometers
used in o~bServatories and ON board
ships must be regulated according to
tables which are kept to fix the varia-
tons TO which all watches are liable.

may cause rupture in the membrane

points are over the carotid and on the

Hilson, the negro preacher who was
convicted Of murder in the second de-
gree In the court of common pleas In
Kansas City, Kan, Wednesday for
killing his wife, tried to burn himself
to death in his cell In the Wyandotte
county Jail some time between mid
night and daylight yesterday morning.
He set fire to his clothing and blankets.
They made more smoke than fire and
when Hilson was discovered by the
jailers yesterday morning he was near
ly dead from suffocation.
The defense Of Hilson was insanity.
The jury, however, believed he was
sane. The jailers and physicians, who
are now attending Hilson, say he Is
undoubtedly insane. His condition is
serious. The negro shot his wife to
death in a confectionery store on
North Third street in Kansas City,
Kan, few months ago. His wife had
left him. A score of per-
sons testified in court that Hilson was
insane.

Denver. Col, Nov. 25.--A special u
the Rocky Mountain News from Grip
pie Creek says the coroner's inquest
IN the case Of tho two men killed by
the explosion in the indicator mine
was begun yesterday. The evidence
produced demonstrated conclusively
that the explosion was the result Of q
plot to blow up the mine, but nothing
of definite character developed to
indicate the guilty persons. The art-
cles found at the scene Of the explo-
sion were put In evidence. They con-
sisted Of part of stick Of giant pow
der of a different make from that used
in the mine, pair Of wire clippers Of
pattern not used by Vindicator min
ers, some electric wire and fragments
of a Colts 32-caliber revolver. The in
quest was adjourned until two o'clock
Friday afternoon. The reason for this
was not made public.
Yesterday afternoon Adjt Gen. Sher-
man Bell, who is in Denver, stated
that large amount Of evidence had
been secured for the trial Of the men
of the outrage. The gen
eral also stated that internal ma
chimes ready to be exploded had been
found In two other mines and that
there was positive evidence that the
plot included FIVE mines In all. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the explosion
In the vindicator occurred before the
intended, as most OF the
.roops were on outgoing trains but
lad not started when It occurred.

attack and win not call on the governor
for troops. The desperadoes were not
expected to reach Casper before this
morning, as the Hole-in-the-Wall is 10
miles from town and the gang was re-
ported riding slowly.
The Hole-in-the-Wall has been a
celebrated resort for desperadoes in

This company, after testing Liquozone

price ever paid for similar rights on any

We publish this fact to show you the

product may have great claims made
about It; but men don't pay q price like
that save for discovery Of remarkable
worth to humanity.
