 The article, in yesterdays Democrat regarding the purchase by the +. j.. Manville Machine Co of the Hefrer- man lot at the corner of Dublin and East Main street for factory purposes pleased everybody and especially resi- dents of that district, all of whom feed that 1t will enhance the value of their property and many look upon 1t as the preliminary step to, the evolution of that whole territory clear out to the toWnsboundary. When John Moriarty read the article he threw his hat in the air and declared it a master stroke for Broadway and wanted to know who would now dare to say that the place was not worthy of the name he has been endeavoring to establish there for 20 years. The lot fronts 350 feet on Dublin street and about the same on East Main street. The plans for the new factory call for five buildings, two large ones and the rest smaller. A two-story brick structure 40x120, will stand at the junction of East Main and Dublin streets. 1t will contain a spacious basement and will be provided with handsome hat and reading rooms for employees. The first floor will be used for office purposes and machinery display rooms The second floor will be occupied by draughtsmen and engineers and pat tern makers. The top floor will be used for storage. The machine shop, which will be 5Ox320 feet, two stories high, will front on Dublin street and will run down to the bridge that spans Mad river. All the Buildings will be constructed according to the most ap- proved modern ideas and when com pleted the plant will boone Of the fin est of it's kind in New England.

previous forced production and strikes,
but the outlook for 1904 is good. Gen
eral trade prospects at Pittsburg for
next year ara for gains. Chicago re-
ports a fair outlook for next year, st.
Louis an encouraging one. and St Paul
one as good as this year Nearly all
leading western railways are suffering
from lack of motive power to move

the kind this year. Inquiries for 10000
tons of rails and structural steel at
Chicago constitute one Of the features
of the industrial week. While Texas

are completely tied up.

Drivers of hearses went out with the

The first trouble occurred when an
attempt was made to conduct a funeral

HE WAS ALL UPSET.
Post Mortem Shows Internal Organs
Out of Place or Ahsant.

Brookings, S. d, Dec. 18.-Surprising
results have developed at a post NOR
TEN examination on the body of Will
lam Allison Il years old, who died after
ten days Illness apparently from IN
Hammation of the stomach.
The young man had said he had been
poisoned and to satisfy the family
post mortem was held. The surgeons
found a most peculiar displacement of
the internal organs. The operators
found an opening through the dia-
phragm dilated stomach, near three
times normal size. completely filing the
left side of the thoracic cavity, taking
the place of the left lung. There was no
left lung only a small redimentary
lung, about one inch thick and three
inches square. Lying under the stOm-
ach was found the ascending and de-
scending colon with the appendix at
tached in its usual place on the lower
end of the colon and also in the thor
acic cavity. The heart was located on
the lower right side of the thoracic
cavity extending parallel and next to
the spinal column between the second
and fifth rib. The right lung was not
normal size There is no question but
the anatomatoricaI formation of the
different organs had existed from in
fancy. The young man had never been
i'll and this is the reason his peculiar
condition had never been disclosed. The
case fs believed to be one of the most
remarkable in the history of surgery.

HE WANTS IT EARLIER.
w. z. Morgan Thinks Republican
Committee Should Meet Soon.

w. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson is in
Topeka today. Mr.. Morgan says he
came to Topeka to pay the taxes on
the property which he owned in Shaw
nee county on the first day of March.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Morgan
was state printer on the date mention
ed and he owned a printing plant on
which he has to pay taxes now, al
though the plant has passed to the pos
session of his successor
Incidentally Mr. Morgan is urging
that the Republican state central COM
mittee be called together early in jan
uary for the purpose of calling the
state convention, instead of waiting un-
til Kansas Day, January %, to do it.
He urges that the meeting of the COM
mittee at that time might inject fac
tionaIism into the Kansas Day ban
quest, which is supposed to be free OF
anything of the kind, and further he
urges that if the committee waits un-
til Kansas Day and then calls the con-
vention for a very early date somebody
is likely to say that it is a snap" con-
vention.
Il think the committee ought to be
called together soon after the holi-
days" said Mr.. Morgan today. 1T Is
generally understood that we want to
have an early convention and declare
for Roosevelt. It takes at least two
months for the county committees to
get their machinery In working order
and to hold the primaries, so II the
committee did not meet until January
20 we could not hold the convention
until the last of March or the first of
April 1t ought to be earlier than that,
I think. At the same time, If it should
be called without giving plenty of no
tica there are always kiekers who
might say it was a snap convention,
although everybody understands that
the convention is to be an early one,
and everybody ought to be ready for ii
almost any time.
Further than that" continued Mr.
Morgan, the meeting of the commit
tee is bound to be accompanied by
more or less pulling and hauling be-
| tween the factions, and some feeling
might be aroused-especially if there
is to be a fight. The Kansas Day clut
ought to be strictly non-factionaI, and
l would like to see everything factional
kept out of it. If the committee should
meet on Kansas Day it would necessa-
rily inject more or less bitterness into
| the Kansas Day banquet. So / am in
favor of the committee meeting before
| that time

DOwIE SHUTS ZION BANK.
Overseer Proposes New Zion Colony
in the South

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-As a result of the
Zion City receivership Dowie's branch
bank at 1900 Michigan avenue has been
closed and removed to Zion City. The
closing of the branch bank was on in
structions from the general overseer
himself and it's discontinuance is per-
manent. The Zion bank in Chicago
was opened March 1, 1899. Charles J.
Barnard, Dowie's present financial
manager, was the first cashier and
only bank empISye. In August, 1899.
Dowie's enemies attempted to wreck it
by a run but failed. In 1901 the main
bank was removed to Zion City and the
Chicago bank became only a branch.
What business it does is unknown to
outsiders, but DOwie claims it footS
up to ST, 900, 900 a week.
A new colony in the south is proposed
by Dowie, who said:
'I have come to see very clearly that
we shall have to build more cities to
give all our toilers work all the year
round. We must establish other cities.
These men cannot work when the earth
is hard and grozen. I see more and
more the necessity for colony in the
south, where those who cannot work in
the frozen north during the winter
months can go and cultivate the soil"

DIGS Up 8 SKELETONS.
Iowa Man Finds Specimens Thought
to Be Prehistoric

Holly Springs, Iowa, Dec. 1S.-Three
skeletons. believed to be those of mem
bers of a prehistoric race, were found
here by ]. J. Egg r. The discovery
was made while MIR. Egger was exca-
waiting for a cellar. The skeletons were
buried in sand overlaid with fifteen
feet of black loan. All of them were
in sitting postures and in an excellent
state of preservation. The skull of one
is evidently that of a very old woman.
It is much smaller than that of the
North American Indian and indicates
a low order of intelligence. The fore
head is low and retreating, the
mastoid processes uncommonly large,
the cheek bones high and the occiput
bulky.
The Smithsonian institution at
Washington has been sent descrip-
ton of the skeletons.
