HE CALLS 1T THE TASTE BUD"
Prof. wilson Discovers an organ In the
Throat That Repels AnNthInE Sour.

Throat That RepelS ANYTHING Sour.
CHICAGO. March 3l.-A W onderful dis
covery has been made by Prof. J. 7, Will
son Of the University Of Chicago. II is a
new organ Of taste and he calls II the 'taste
bud Way down in the throat it is located.
It is to be found in the larynx, and all over
the coating Of the passage through the
neck. Experiments have proved that it
h just below the surface Of the lining.
II Is bud shaped.
Just what individual function the new
organ has Prof. Wilson does not know.
He declares that II repels drink and food
having a sour taste, and welcomes those
having a sweet taste. Anything sour or
in tasting that goes down the throat makes
the taste bud d" contract. This is commonly
known as slump In the throat Strong
drinks and strong food, the professor de-
olares, are not welcomed by the taste bud
When a girl or a man eats sour pickle
the new organ dislikes II very much, but
when they cot a bonbon it's all right.
Scientists consider Prof. Wilson'S dis
oovery Of the new organ OF wonderful value
20 mankind. Not only do they say that the
science Of physiol ology and anatomy Ia bene-
fted wonderfully, but that the science Of
cookery, concoction OF drink, mixture
Of medicines, &c, will in all pro liability be
revomtioni1ed. The cook who can make
good with a new dish to tickle this new
organ, the doctor who can develop a new
remedy that will hit the bud In the right
spot, or the bre wer who can bring forth
the new dope" that will take eject pri-
mArily on the new papilla, will be In great
demand.

Word was received at the District Attor-
ney's Office last evening concerning the
writ Of habeas corpus secured by the Smiths
in Cincinnati. As soon as this information
was received, Assistant District Attorney
Garvan started for Cincinnati to represent
Mr.. jerome.
All the preliminaries have been arranged
for the eEtradition of the Smiths Yester-
day morning Gov. Higgins issued the
necessary requisition papers. They wero

Columbus. Ohio. Mcknight notified the
District Attorneys cfiice last night that he
had arrived in Columbus and Gov. Herrick
had issued the warrant 10 bring the Smiths
on here. McNaught said he would start
at once for Cincinnati.
1t was learned yesterday what the District
Attorney proposes to do when the Smiths
are brought here. Smith will be arTaigned
before Judge Newburger on the indictment
charging him with contempt. Smith was
indicted for contempt when he vanished
after having been subpenaed for the Grand
Jury a few days before Nan Patterson was
indicted for the murder Of Young.
It turns out that friend Of a friend
Of Mr.. Rand had a good deal to do with the
arrest OF the Smiths. He saw them ma
Cleveland hotel and notified Mr.. RANDI
friend. The friend passed along the word
to Mr.. Rand. A private detective agency
had been folio wing the Smiths but It's men
had temporarily lost track OF them. The
agency Immediately sent two Of its men
from Montreal and thereafter the Smiths
were always under surveillance.
Most Of the time there were four men
employed watching the Smiths. IL Ia said
that they were not particularly pleased
with the job. As soon as they got friendly
with Smith he is said 10 have found IL con-
venient TO get small loans from them.
The sleuths were always assured that II
was only a temporary loan.
Reports from Cincinnati yesterday that
Smith had promised 10 make IL uncomfort-
able for some we'll known men II he was
brought back were not explained at
the District Attorneys offioe. No one in
the District Attorneys offioe seems 10 know
where the Smiths got the money 20 carry
them around this country and Canada
for almost year.

broker who sold the pistol with which
Young was killed, il not going TO Cincin-
natl. Mr.. Rand got into communication
with Stern yesterday and he will be on
hand 10 have a look at the Smiths when
they are brought back.
The capture Of the Smiths makes a ma
terial change in the plan Of the District
Attorneys ONCE for the second trial OF
Nan Patterson. For the last ten days
Messrs. Rand and Garvan have been going
over the case 20 be ready for the second
trial. As the Smiths are defendants, they
cannot be used as witnesses by the prose-
cution, but they may be used IN other ways.
