The annual farce Of seed distribu-
ton is now in progress. congress-
men positively refusing to abandon
their time honored custom Of seizing
the peoples money with which to
advertise themselves. They have
the power to take the money and
they shamefully do so. just as the
members Of our state legislature
impudently dip into the state treas
ury for money to distribute among
political strikers who have worked
for their election. The seed distri-
button and the attache steal are but
different varieties Of the same
species Of public plunder for the
benefit Of the politicians. Inciden-
tally the seed distribution proves
that congressman hold farmers in
utter contempt as senseless beings
who can be propitiated by trifiing
gratuities paid for by their own
money, To the extent that farmers
do not resent this form Of bribery.
the congressman estimate Of their
intellectual caliber is warranted by
the facts. but they ought to be
ashamed Of such petty grating. -

A magazine has taken pains to
collect many of the facts concerning
recent inventions and discoveries,
and through them gives us an idea
of what this world will be in future
days.
In the first place the length Of the
day is to be materially greater. The
authority for this is no less a person
than Prof. Darwin. son Of the great
naturalist and president Of the Brit
ish Association.
In the course of time the present
day will be prolonged to ffty-fve
hours. II has been discovered that
the days are gradually lengthening
at relative rates which are calcula-
BILE. though the absolute rates in
time are unknown.
With the lengthening Of the days
there il to be . prolongation Of the
length Of . mans life.
There Is mid to be no doubt that
the STATURE Of man is increasing.
and Il il possible that the future
race may be giants. In fact. DIR.
Hatai, professor Of neurology at the
University Of Chicago. claims to
have discovered . wonderful food
substance, called lecithin. which will
produce giants.
Then there is the invention Of
Nieola Tesla. who will put news
papers out Of the business. This in.
vention will transmit messages to
the uttermost parts Of the world.
II the invention prove a success q
man may stand in the midst Of the
Sahara desert and by means Of an
Inexpensive little instrument which
he carries in his pocket he may re-
ceive the news of New York.
At that future day artificial dia-
monds and rubies will be quite com
mon. When the electric furnace is
developed it is expected that dia-
monds and rubies will no longer be
precious stones.
There will be no fogs in those
days, for they will be cleared away

Charges OF Murder.
New York, Feb. 4.-Johann Hoch
was arraigned in Jefferson Market
court. Requisition papers are expect
ed to arrive today from Chicago.
This talk about my having twenty
to thirty wives and numbering a few
Of them is all nonsense, he said, while
being taken back to police headquar-
ters. Just let them go and pile 1t on
me as much as they please. I'll make
some of them very sorry when l get
back to Chicago. 1t is a case of mis-
taken identity. There are more Hochs
in the west than one"
According to the police here, he is
said to have said that he would plead
guilty of bigamy on his return. Until
he took a second wife he believed his
former wife had secured a divorce
from him. Concerning the charge of
murder. Hoch said:
"They are accusing me OF crimes
that are said to have occurred In this
country long before I came here ten
years ago. ! will prove my documen-
tary evidence that I was in Germany
at the time these crimes We're COM
mitted.'
John Graft of Jensingen on the
Rhine, where Hoch was reared, was
caller at police headquarters yester-
day He told the detectives that he
was certain he had known Hoch in
Jensingen where he passed as Jacob
Schmidt, until he left there about ten
years ago, and came to this country
as diamond merchant, having lost a
fortune. Graft declares that If Hoch is
the same as the Jacob Schmidt he was
married in Germany.
