BODY OF NISSEN FOUND.
Rash Attempt to Roll Across Lake
Michigan Ends in Death.

Na8u Attempt TO hOlk ACROSS Lake
Michigan Ends in Death.
The body of the foolhardy Peter MIS-
sen, who attempted to cross Lake Michi-
gan in his aquatic balloon, was found on
the Michigan shore. The chill waters Of
the lake We're fatal to the man who had
succeeded in getting through the Niagara
rapids. 1t was the aim of Nissen, the
inventor of that queer machine, the i'll
starred ''FOolkiller," to devise an am
phibian craft which would make the jour-
ney across sea and land to the north or
south pole. 1t is the science of psychol-
ogy rather than that of geogra phical re-
search to which his unhappy experiment.
seems most likely to contribute. His in
vention had no practical value.
For years Nissen had experimental
with various strange boats, in one of
which he took perilous trip through
the rapids of Niagara. His last inven-
ton, bag inflated with air and intend
ed to roll before the wind, was obvi-
ously of no utility for any practical pur-
poses. Apart from the subject of his
nautical devices, he appears to have been
an ordinarily Industrious, common-sensa
wOrkingman. What aroused his ambition
and gave it such fantastic bent, it is
impossible to say. He embarked in the
''Foolkiller" Mt Chicago as nonchalantly
as another man might have set out to
test a new bicycle. In Nissen's case, un-
fortunately, there was no possibility of
any useful outcome from his expert
mcnts.

EIGHT HOUR LAW INVALID.
New York Court Of Appeals Find
Against Statute.

New York Court Of Appeals Finds
Against Statute.
In a decision the other day the New
York State Court Of Appeals declared
unconstitutional the labor law which pro
hibits a contractor from employing his
men more than eight hours day on city
county or State work. Since its enact
ment In 1897 this statute has been almos,
continually before the courts. Other
phases have been passed upon, but thi.
Is the first time the Court of Appeals has
expressed its views fatty on the eight
hour provision.
The decision was In nm action brought
by Harry Cossey to compel payment by
the city Of New York of $2S,2l5 for six
scows manufactured for the street clean
ing department. Payment was refused
oil the ground that he had violated the
terms of his contract In employing mer
over eight hours day. Judges O'Brien
Martin and Vann hold the law is uncon
stitutional In that 1t deprives an indi
vidual Of property without due process OF
law. Chief Judge Cullen, with Judge
Werner concurring, makes the decision
one Of precedent. Judge Haight alone
dissented.

in obtaining the loan Of S190,S0O from

From the various statements OF the
persons who have loaned the woman such
immense sums of money came the assur-

placing it as high as $5,000OOO. All
agree, however, that such securities as

Appalling List of Fatalities During
Deer Hunting Season.
One hunter was killed or wounded fol

closed. Fortytwo nimrods were either
slain outright or died from their wounds
many of them being shot down by over
Jealous hunters, who fired ut anything
that moved the brush and underground
ahead of them. Twenty others were
wounded, many of them seriously, and
the death total may be swelled by -ev.
eral additions in the course of the Eext
fortnight
With all this sacrifice of life the hunt
ing season was not successful from the
standpoint of game. 1t is estimated that
not more than 1000 deer were killed in
the twenty open days. This is One-third
less than the total of year ago. The
falling off is attributed to the lack of
snow in the woods, which made it impos-
sible to track the deer, except with dogs,
and this is forbidden by law.
Even this frightful list of hunting cas-
ualties, due in almost every instance to
some ones carelessness, is exceeded by
the list of dead and wounded due to ac-
c!dents to hunters of ducks, partridges,
rabbits, and other small game.

ment of a law in Wisconsin similar to
that of Michigan, which makes the kill

CORN OUR GREATEST CROP.
Last Year It's Direct Taine Nearly
TotaIIcd 81 900 100000.

On corn the prosperity of the United
States depends In u larger measure than
Il does upon any other single article.
The State of Illinois-the greatest corn
producing Stnte in the Union-aione pro-
duced during 1902 u great deal more than
hnlf as much corn ns the whole of Eu
rope-nnmely, 264,OS7 ,43l bushels as
compared with 422 ,526, 600 bushels. The
total production of South America, AZ
rica and Australasia was not much more
than hnlf of that Of Illinois.
The value of the 1903 crop was esti-
mated by the Department Of Agriculture
ut close ON n billion dollars, but that was
only the direct value Of the crop when
harvested and sold or awaiting sale In
the farmers hands. 1t took no account
of the many other uses to which corn
IL put. For example, the live stock in
dustry Of the United States, which, with
all it's countless ramifcations, is by far
the greatest industry of Its kind In the
world. IL very largely dependent on the
corn crop. II has been estimated that
over 100000 sheep md 10000 900 beef
steers are fattcned In the grent corn belt
which has Springfield, ILL.,, for Its CEN
ter. And then there nre chickens, hogs
and dairy cows innumcrnble.
Illinois corn last year was worth more
than sos, 900. .0OO-about one-tenth the
value of the crop, and about $50 for
every man, woman and child In the Stnte
Iowa came next with n crop worth over
SS7, 100000. That Is more than the ma
tional revenue of either Austrin, Hun
gary, China, Canada, Belgium, or the
whole British colonies, excluding Can
ada, India and Australia. 1t far exceeds
the combined revenue of Sweden, Swift
zcrlnnd and Norway.
The State of Illinois gets far more
money for Its corn crop than the COM
bined revenue of all the Latin-American
governments except the four most impor-
tnnt ones-Mexico, Chill, Argentine and
Brazil. Take the sixteen sovereign re-
publics of Hayti, Santo Domingo. Sal
vador, Costa Rica. Honduras, Guate-
mala, Nicaragua, Colombia, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bo-
livia, Cuba and Panama, and you will
find that their national revenues do not
exceed S7O,OOOOOO annually. Illinois
gets $25. .OO0,0 600 more for her corn crop.

Now Five Men Will Meet in Indian.
apolis as High State Officials.
When the Indiana Legislature con-
venes, Jan. 5, 1905, five men who, as
boys, lived on adjoining farms in War
len county will meet for the first time
in many years. Warren is the smallest
county in the State. Each of the men
who were chums in their boyhood days
down OIL the farm will represent the
State in an official capacity. One of these
men is Gov. Hanly; two others, William
l. Wood of Lafayette, and law partner
of the Governor, and Fremont Goodwin,
who lives in distant county, are Sena-
tors, while Ele Stransbury of Williams
port and A. B. McAdams of Boswell are
members of the lower house of the
Legislature. There is not four years
difference in the ages of the Oldest and
youngest.
''The five of us have not been to-
gether," said Gov. Hanly, "since we sep
arated over twenty years ago. Little did
we think when we were small boys, run
ming away from school to so fishing or
spend the afternoon Mt the old swim
ming hole about n mile from the school
house, that we would some day be part
of the government of the State"

WORLD SEEKS WATER POWER.
Use of Niagara Falls Power stirs Other
Countries.

The lesson OF the use of Niagara falls
for generating electricity has been put
to worldwide application, says the New
York World. Throughout the world fall
ing water, according to a paper read be-
fore the British association by Mr.. Camp
bell Ewinton, yields to mans use an en-
ergy equal to ], ,4S3, 800 horse power, of
which Great Britain figures for only H.
9O6 horse power.
The British Aluminium Company gets
1000 horse power from the falls of Foy-
ers and it expects presently to procure
1900 horse power from Loch Leven.
The North Wales Electric Power Com
pany is about to tap Lake Llydaw, on
Snowdon, and hopes to obtain $500 horse
power for every working day of nine
hours. Finally, the Scotch Water Power
syndicate is peering round> in quest of
waters that it can imprison at lofty levels
and SO generate electric power. From
Loeb Sloy, 757 feet above Loch Lomond,
it is going to get 6,6OO horse power, and
at Ardlui, higher up, it proposes to get
further energy. Even a modest stream
that drops several hundred feet may be
a source of power.

A strong feature In connection with
the iron trade Is the activity in and
strength of hardware in all markets.
A notable feature In the heavier lines
this week was the free buying Of

also the reports Of improved condi-
