would be opposed to the plan for a
pardon. Komp put great deal of
faith in the Supreme court, and when
this tribunal refused to reverse the
Judgment of the lower court no chance
was left to him save to appeal the
case to the United States court, and
his term Of service would have ex-
pired before the case would be taken
up by the court.
komp has been model prisoner
and is still employed in the Office of
the prison. He has now been in prison
more than year and more than half
of his term is passed With good be-
havior he will be released within the
next nine months.
It is being urged that Komp would
have made restitution for all the
losses from the failure of the bank if
he would have been given time by the
prosecuting officers, but little faith is
taken IN these promises. He was
given every chance to make restitu-
ton before being sent to prison.
Other charges are still pending
against Komp in the Circuit court
here, and it will be several.5years be-
fore these charges are outlawed.-
Should he be released on...a pardon it
is probable that the district attorney
would insist that he stand taial on the
other charges.
It's probable that some open step in
the effort for a pardon will be taken
within the next few days. and at that
time the attitude Of the people Of the
city towards the plan will be shown.
Mrs. Komp and the children are
still living ia Chicago, and the wife is.
still decidedly loyal to her husband
and believes that he has suffered
great wrong through the courts of
this county.

Mayor James German and half a

Racine with view of installing a
similar system in Kenoshs, and as a
result of the visit the Kenosha officials
are convinced that immediate action

Our Mines Wonder of World.

From Leslie's Weekly
The conditions of mining in America are
the wonder of the Industrial world. The

amazement. They marvel at the apparently
irreconcilable facts that, although miners
are paid higher wages in America than In
any other country. the American minerals
and metals produced at q lower cost

Europe. To the genius of American en-
gineering is due this happy combination or

more fortunate than his fellow-workers or
other lands; and the American mine oper-
ator is, indeed, more successful than others
in the same field of endeaVor elsewhere.
Producing at the lowest cost. it Is nat
ural that our mines should show the larS-
est profit; only natural that out of small
Investments in mines many great fortunes
have been made. For years comparatively
poor men have been giving their accumu-
lated savings, as well as their energy ana
brains, to the exploitation of mines which
have in turn enriched them. 1t is matter
of record that most of the great mining
cons olidationS were started by small III
yestors The stock is usually put upon the
market where it is purchased by hundreds
of individuals, each of whom receives ms
profits from the investment according to the
proportion of stock he holds. 1t has hap

times that small investments In mining
stocks have made nillionaires of people VINO

Making Artificial "Life."
ON the Technical World.

From the Technical World
Scientists have been recently Interested
in the announcement that Prof. ]. Butler
Burke of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cam
bridge, England. has succeeded in creating,
by chemical reactions, certain living bodies
of an extremely low form. which he calls
'radiobes."
Prof. Burke treated solution of selatine
with bromide of radium. and the radiobes
resulted A radobe appears first as the
minutest visible speck;' and lit grows TO
two dots then dumb bell-shaped appear
ance later more like a frogs spawn.
But is il really alive? On this point hear
Prof. Burke himself:
THE continuity OF structure ass .milation
and growth, and then subdivision, together
with the indicated structure as shown IN
few of the best specimens, suggest that
they are entitled to be classed among living
things, in the sense in which we use the
words
'.,rhey are, obviously, altogether outside
the beaten track of living things.
Thus the gap. apparently insuperabse, be
tween the organic and inorganic worlds,
seems however roughly. TO be bridged over
by the presence of these radio-o:g,4n.c or

Terrible Condition of Crofters, Who
Live Like Animals.

From the London Standard.
The local government board for Scotland
sent two commissioners to the Lews (the
island of Lews) to investigate the sanitary
conditions of the crofters' dwellings. and
their report has just been issued. 1t reveals
an appalling state of squalor and dirt In
the novels of the poorer inhabitants.
The cottages, as rule. are built of loose
stones. with a turf roof, the walls some
times being wholly of turf In the best cot
teges the living room, sleeping room and
"byre" are divided by partitions, but IN
some cases the human beings share one
room with the cattle. In the byre there is
large accumulation of manure. asoat

FROM the Green BAG.
The crier had a bad cold, SO that the
duty of making the opening proclamation
fell to another court officer, who, as II
happened, had never acted as crier This
officer had heard the proclamation often
enough, and knew It by heart but this Is
what happened: The deputy sheriff open

within and without the bar, those present
arose and stood in silence while the judge
passed to his place.
Then the substitute began: Hear We!
Hear ye! Hear yer His voice seemed TO
him horribly loud. and all recollection OF
the words to follow suddenly left him, but
he pulled himself together and went on
bravely, "All persons having anything TO
do before the honorable the justices OF
the supreme court in the jury session there

the county of Suffolk may draw near ana
give their attendance. and they shall be

At this point he sat down, but, seeing the
judge looking up in surprise, he saw his
mistake, and, springing to his feet, he
added:

The Crows in Winter.
From st. Nicholas.

Crows are not nearly so numerous in the
winter in northern New York and In places
equally cold as they are in summer. Yet
many of them gain living by picking up
the grains OF corn that have fallen from the
freight cars and been scattered along the
track. And since they cannot long exist
without water. they also find much food
on the. river banks and along the spring
runs when the snow is deep. No other bird

Branding Baby for Identification.

From the Family Doctor.
Let mother study the appearance of her
child's body well and decide for herself
whether there be about 1t any ineffaceable
mark by which she could identify him any
where and at any time. If there is nothing
that time may not efface, then let her have
him marked in such a way that she would

drops of Indian ink, operation no more
painful than vaccination.

To neglect backache, which is
very often the only outward sign
that Nature gives OF serious trou-
bic in the kidneys, is to give free
reign to serious disorders that may
end in dropsy, gravel, diabetes or
Bright's disease.
Yet this neglect of backache is
very common. Many people think
the pain a simple muscular trouble.
They do not seem to know that
backache is the most common
symptom of kidney complaint.
The kidneys filters of the blood
lie just beneath the small of the
back, on either side of the spine. As
soon as there is any inflammation
or congestion in the kidneys you
notice feeling of uneasiness in the
back, then that dull. throbbing
pain, changing to sharp twinges
when any sudden strain is brought
upon the back. 1t is hard to
straighten after STOPPING, you feel
lame in the morning.
The urine shows early signs of
the disorder. 1t is pale and thin, or
thick, discolored and ill-smelling.

night, or scanty and very painful.

A Horses Hands and Feet.

From ST. Nicholas.
Now the horse never puts his heel on
the ground. nor even the ball of his foot.
He stands up on the very tip OF his toes,
and this IS in part, the reason why he can
trot so fast. Dobbin's heels are half way
up his hind legs. and what we call his
knees are really his wrists. The part cor
responding to the upper arm is short, and
Is so imbedded in the muscles of the Shout
der that the elbow comes next the body
But the horse has only one digit on each
limb and the wrist bones are comparatively
small The so-called ankle, then, is the
kr uckle where the digit joins the hand or
the foot, and the foot" is only single
thick finger or toe with a great nail for a
hoof The lower half of the horses fore leg
is really gigantic hand with only the mid
die finger and a piece out of the middle OF
his hind leg is big. single-toed foot.

great labor he climbed the tree and when
he got almost to the eagle the bird fell

nation among the members of the board
and the college authorities want to

stubborn in considering themselves any
thing but wrongdoers and are as one in
meeting the actions of the faculty. The
girls claim, as twentieth century Ameri-

decided loss at to what they should do

Predicted Earthquakes.

Claiming to have predicted to n GER
tain extent, while under spirit control,
the earthquake Of San Francisco and the

west franklin street, Baltimore, stated
last night under similar conditions that
the next seismic disturbances, in the not
distant future, would occur in the Orient,
particularly in the southern part of In
dia and in the region of Japan, and that
the disturbances would be far greater
than that Of Vesuvius and San Fran
cisco.

turbances on the shores of the Mediter-

earthquakes on the Pacific coast and in
other parts of the earth that have ever
been recorded in the history OF humanity.
