R SPECTACLE.
Wouldt5e Suicide Frightens Cedar
Rapids Neighborhood.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Nov. 26.-Wan-
dering in the woods while demented
with a CHASTITY wound made with his
pocket knife in his throat, Martin Han
selik finally reached a farm house and
terrified the occupants by his appear
ance. He had cut his throat to the
CLOTHS and the trachea and was COW
cred with blood. The ambulance from
this city was sent five miles into the
country for him and he has been
brought to Mercy hospital, where he
now lies with faint hopes of recovery.

SUSPECTS ARE GUILTY
Men Held for Van Meter Post Office
Robbery Convicted.

Des Moines, Nov. 30.-A term in
the p~enitentiary awaits Frank Hodge
and Andrew Svenson, the Van Meter
post office robbers, who were arrest.
ed last summer and tried before
| Commissioner Gleason at Oskaloosa.
They were convicted by a jury in the
Federal court yesterday.
In his charge to the jury Judge Nc
Pherson laid down the law as applied
to the facts bearing on the robbery.
He said there could be no doubt OF
the fact that the postottic in question
had been robbed and on the night
as mentioned in the indictment. Fur
Their than this he said that the fact
of the jewelry store being in the
same building and using the same
safe for the storage Of V%aluables as
the one used by the government,
gave additional facts to the jury to
work upon.
He reviewed the history of the la
dy's watch, which has done more
than any other feature in the convic-
ton of the accused. He spoke Of the
fact that john Stump, the farmer,
had purchased the watch of a jewel
er, one Thompson, ar Abel in 1895,
and had given it to his daughter,
then a little miss. He recalled the
fact that the girl had taken the num-
Der Of the case. This, he said, cor
responded with the watch found in
the house of the man Sorenson.
Makes Dramatic Plea.
Attorney Miles worked a dramatic
climax to his plea as he urged the
conviction of the prisoners, with a
navy revolver in each hand, and said
that any man who enters a house
with a gun in his hand does so with
murder in his heart, and should be
treated as a murderer.
The alibi was attacked by Mr..
Miles as showing that there was
nothing behind it with the exception
of the evidence of Sorenson's own
relatives, who would, as a matter of
course, testify in his behalf. The
presence Of the dangerous explosives
and the fuses were excused by the
attorneys for the defense as being
the tools of a miner, and that the
two men were miners about to begin
work when arrested. The dynamite
was tested by experts yesterday and
shown to be high in power.
A full safe blowers outfit was
found in the possession of the men,
and was exhibited to the jury yester.
day. 1t consisted Of a number of fus.
es, a bar of soap, used by cracksmen
for the purpose Of stopping cracks in
safes under their operations. a few
skeleton keys and two bottles, one
containing nitro-glycerin and the
other oil of mustard seed for the pur
pose Of throwing bloodhounds Off thu
scent.

THE SCREAMING LOCOMOTIVE,

We are glad to note that the
medical journals are beginning to
take up the nuisance of the loco
motive whistle.
There is no sense whatever in
these screaming engines going
shrleking over the country,
distracting nerves, disturbing
sleep, and undermining patience.
In. no other country is such a
thing allowed.
Scream! Scream! Scream!
loot! Toot! loot! loot! And
what is the use of it?
1t may be that in some rounda-
bout, farfetched way it does
render some service to the rail-
road employees. But all this
could be abated. Crossings could
be guarded by gates of some
sort. Signals that make no noise
could be arranged.
The simple truth of the matter
is that railroad officials have got
into the notion of doing this way.
There was something dramatic
about the railroad whistle in
times gone by. But it is rapidly
becoming an into1erable nuisance.
1t has no use, and does much
harm.
Who knows how many patients,
just in the turn of some acute
ailment, when silence was golden,
when a life hung on a thread,
just the time when little things
count, perhaps sinking away in
to refreshing slumber,-who
knows how many such suffering
patients have been brought back
to consciousness with a start
that turns the scales of fate
against them, by the screech of
a locomotive, 1t takes but little
stretch of the imagination to
conceive of thousands of such
cases.
AT any rate, this footing ought
to be stopped. The only use
that law has in this world is to
prevent one man from Interior
ing with the right of another.
The railroad companies have no
more right to disturb the peace
than the small boy on the street.
Not a particle. If saloon turns
out buns to go screening
the streets making a
public nuisance of themselves,
they commit exactly the same
offence as the railroad companies
when they turn loose a multitude
of engines to boot aud scream all
day and all night.-Medical Talk.
