tifeless matter it is habitable and
therefore of necessity an inhabited
planet, much as the earth is. Observa-
Itions with the solar spectrum, the
kolarscope and the solar electroscope
have given him a new and beautiful
idea of the universe and of Gods hand
iwork therein.
In brief, without laying down his
pine of reasoning step by step, Mr..
Young has reached the conclusion that
the sun is the universal source and
center of electrical energy, not of
heat. Immediately surrounding the
sun is a conductive atmosphere, out
side of which and surrounding it is
Ia nonconductive atmosphere, the same
being true of the earth and some other
planets. The converging streams of
electricity passing into the sun and
the diverging streams passing out
into the vast regions of interstellar
space meet with resistance in the outer
solar atmosphere and evolve light and
neat, the illumination thus caused be-
ing the glare that we see in looking
ht the sun and that scientists have
erroneously supposed to be the light
'of that orb itself, attributing it, by
imagination purely, to inconceivably
hot fires, burning but not consuming
the body of that planet.
In the same way the electrical cur
rents passing in and out of earth il
puminate and warm its outer nom
conductive atmosphere and to other
planets our little globe appears as a
ball of everlasting fire in the same
manner, but to far less extent, al
the sun appears to them and to us,
The light and warmth that shed their
benign influences upon us and make
pur globe a fit habitation for animal
hnd vegetable life in all its varied
forms cannot by any scientist be
traced beyond the terrestrial atmos.
'phere, asserts Mr., Young, except Inv
pure assumption. The fact is that
they are evolved in that atmosphere
Iby means of the resistance il offers
TO the great permeating streams of
solar electricity passing in and out
according to this theory the sun sends
forth electric currents, not rays Of
heat and light. 1t is warmed and IL
Illuminated by the heat and ligbt
evolved by the passage of those cur-
rents through its own resisting at
mosphere and not by any fires of its
own.

ulation of Brooklyn. He was reflect
ed in April, 1881, for second term;
in April, 1888, for third term, and in
April, 1885, for a fourth term, and he
ran in 1891 in one of the most exciting
cauvasses ever known in Chicago
with five mayoralty candidates in the
field.
The campaign terminated as fol-
lows: Washburne (Rep.), 46,957; Gre
gier (dem.), 46,5sS; Harrison Gnd),
42,931. Harrison was defeated, but he
ran again in 1908, a much more impor-
tant municipal election than the one
which preceded it, for the term Of Of
fee covering the period of the Chicago
fair.
In this contest Mr.. Harrison re-
ceived 114,O00 votes, his republican ad-
versary $4,000, and his antagonist of
two years before, Mr.. Cregier, 5000.
Mr.. Harrison was assassinated while
mayor on October 2s, 1898, two days
before the closing of the fair.
Mayor Harrison, his son, was born
in Chicago in 1850, and was gradu-
ated from the Yale law school in 1888.
He practiced law until 1883, when he
formed a real estate partnership with
his brother.
When the father secured control of
the Chicago Times, the son acted as
business manager, managing editor and
proprietor until 1894. In 1897 he made
his first race for the mayoralty and
has run twice since, successfully.

from which he was graduated in the
class of 1878. He was admitted to the
bar of the supreme court of Indiana
in 1879 and Immediately entered upon
the practice of his profession. In 1881
he was given the degree of a. M. by his
alma mater, and in 1888 moved to Des
Moines, Ia, where he practiced law for
three years, returning to Lafayette in
1886. Shortly after he took up his resi-
dence in Indiana for the second time
Mr.. Miller was connected with a Sun
day newspaper of which he was the
editor. The paper passed out of his
hands shortly afterward, however, and
he returned to the practice of law. He
was able to build up fourishing prac-
tice as an attorney and was promi-
nently identified with the public affairs
of Lafayette and contiguous portions
of the state, although he steadily de-
clined to hold public Office Of any kind.
"A few years ago Mr.. Miller became
connected with the Lafayette Journal
as an editorial writer and his able edi
torials on all subjects pertaining to
national and state affairs soon raised
him to very high place in public es-
TEEN and in the estimation of the
prominent men of his state.
Mr.. Miller was selected by the presi-
dent as assistant secretary of the in
terror because of his thorough knowl-
edge of the pensions laws and the prac-
tice of the department in pension
eases. In the course of his duties as as
sistant secretary Mr.. Miller will have
to pass upon the pension appeal cases,
which require an accurate and eX-
haustive knowledge of all pension laws.

In 1880 Mr.. North was selected to
prepare the newspaper statistics for
he tenth census, and in 1885 completed
he preparations for the taking of the
Sew York state census. In 1890 he was
elected to make a special report on
wool manufactures for the eleventh
:ensus, and in 1894 was secretary of
he republican branch of the senate
committee on finance. While engaged
his duties at the capitol as a cor
respondent Mr.. North attracted the
attention of the late President McKin-
ey, who was then on the committee of
ways and means of the house of repre-
antatives. Mr.. Mckinley had charge
4 the preparation of the tariff bill

rress, and which was known as the Nc

with the making of the tariff schedules.

appointed by President Mckinley in

THE CHICAGO HARRISONS.
Record of Father and Son Hard TO
Match in the Political Annals
of the United states.

Carter H. Harrison has recently
been nominated for the fourth time
for the same office to which his father,
Garter II. Harrison, was elected five
times--that of mayor of Chicago. The
record of the two Harrisons, father
and son, in connection with this office
is certainly unexampled in the his
tory of municipalities in the United
States.
The senior Harrison was native OF
Kentucky and was elected mayor OF
Chicago in 1879, "a years ago. The city
had at that time population of 49o,-

MOOSE COUNTY PRISON DUR.
ING THE NIGHT.
s1OO REWARD OFFERED
That Amount Will Be Paid for the
Capture of Any One of the Four Jail
Birds - Were Held on Serious
charses-strickIand Among Them.

Centerville, Sept. s. Especially =
Four prisoners, each Of them with ev-
cry probability of a penitentiary SEN
tence staring him in the face, escaped
from the Appanoose county Jail some
time during the night and all four are
now at large. A reward OF $100 is Of
fered by the county for the arrest of
any one of the quartet of Jail birds and
the county officers have hopes of re-
covering them soon. The manner OF
the Jail delivery indicates that the
prisoners received aid from the out
side and the sheriff is working hard to
learn who helped them. The names OF
the men who effected their escape are:
Names of Fugitives.
Thomas Nugent( a tramp, who was
arrested some time ago for stealing a
watch of an Appanoose county farm

Robert Strickland of Centerville,
who was arrested in Ottumwa few
weeks ago for stealing $1,000 from
Samuel Johnson of Centerville.

charged with shooting another colored
man in a fight over crap game.
Charles Patten, colored He is
said to have been the chief offender
in shooting scrape at one of the
mines near Centerville.
Were Not Indicted.
District court convened here yester-
day and these men were to have been
indicted for the several crimes charg-
ed against them as soon as the grand
jury should get together. The indict-
ments will in all probability be return
ed in due time and will await them
when the are rearrested, as the sheriff
hopes they will be before long.
Help From Outside.
1t appears that the men received aid
from the outside and were thus enabled
to make their escape. The paddock
on the outer door of the jail, which is
out of reach from the outside, was I'M
locked during the night, though it was
securely locked late last night when
the officers left the jail. The inner
door, the one opening into the part of
the Jail where the men were confined,
was also unlocked. indicating that the
men must have either got key to that
themselves from some loose piece of
ueldl passed " CAen lIom oulslue.
Reward is Offered.
This morning when the sheriff went
to the Jail he found the doors open and
the Jail empty He at once reported
the Jail delivery and officers were sent
out in every direction. All the neigh
boring towns were notified of the es-
cape of the men and everything pos
sible is being done to apprehend them.
A reward of 500 has been offered for
the capture and return of any one of
the four.
