Mrs. Barton was equal to the
occasion and her generous nature
responded nobly in giving to each

AS friends and neighbors we respect

who once owned it are now about
TO depart from among us.
] IN the year 1873, Peter Barton
came west with his wife and family
from his Wisconsin home and began
the building Of home on these
sparsely settled prairies. Mr.. and
Mrs. Barton possessed the character
istios common to the early pioneers
viz: that energy 81 youth, that in
tegrity Of purpose, and that in firm
and resolute daring TO battle against
the hardships Of pioneer life.
II those days the farming was
done almost entirely with oxen, so
the settlers labored long and hard
to maintain q livelihood; yet 80
wisely did they plan and 70 diligently
did they devote themselves to the
pursuits OF farming and stock rails

themselves with such evidences of
thrift as fertile fields and lowing

the other settlers from the grass

err during the past five years, and
Capt. L. D. Wildman of the U. S.
signal service, a noted electrical ex-
pert.
Two platinum electrodes were in
serted in the upper regions of the
bulls brain and a distinct current
recorded on a tangent galvanometer,
over 100 feet from the animal. Not
only was this test successfully made
but it was shown that intense emo
tion raised the current very mater

the animal was killed. All other
sources of electrical generation hav-
ing been removed, it was demonstrate
ed beyond a doubt that the brain of
an animal is an electrical battery
and that the strength of the current
varies according to the degree of
emotional or other excitement.
DIR. Atkins states that he has found
similar currents to exist in every
portion of the human body by actual
experiment but never before made
SO complete or satisfactory test

this is only the first step toward a

Atkins, who, by reason of a recent
experiment has proven deductions
which may revolutionize all precon-
ceived biological and psychological
theories.
DIR. Atkins has long believed that
all functions and processes or Ire
action are electro-chemical and that
the body is one vast system of cleo
trical currents and counter currents
with the brain as a directing CEN
ter. He has discovered that the
processes of hearing. sight, touch,
taste and smell are produced, direct
ly, by diffusion of electrical energy
through the sensory nerves, which
are the wires or conductors of cleo
fricity, generated for the most part
by the lungs and transformed and
directed by the convolutions of the
brain.
When DR.. Atkins first advanced
this theory. several years ago, he
was hooted at, condemned and even
prosecuted by medical scientists at
large. Now he Is being recognized
as one OF the most remarkable men
of his time not only by scientific con-

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Jan. l.
Eight hundred men whose names
have changed to numbers, toiling in
silence, building walls behind which
to expatiate their crimes against So
ciety-sullen soldiers of il fortune
whom the world has cast from its
heart
Such is the great army that moves
each morning in double file from the
strong white cells of the federal pri-
son TO labor without compensation
that Uncle Sam may have the finest
prison house in al the world-a pri-
son house of such magnificent APP
pointments that the binding shame
of its helpless inmates turns to dull
amaze in contemplation of its archi-
tectural beauty.
For seven years this refuge for the
nations unruly has been building,
and for seven more years convicts
will toll 10 hours a day, six days a
week, before it is finished If the
prison were builded by free labor
its cost would aggregate S6.500,0 900.
The walls are 900 feet long on the
north and south and 500 feet long
on the east and west, and rest on
solid bed rock IL to IS feet below
the surface of the earth The walls
are 35 feet high. 5 feet wide at the
base, 2 feet wide at the top, and
built of vitrified brick so smooth that
nothing human or animal can gain
a foothold on it,
Sixty armed guards superintend
the work of the convicts. The brick
was all made by the convicts. A
: steam railroad connects the prison
yard with a government stone quarry
Ene-half mile away, and convicts
auarried the stone, hewed it, and put
it in place. The electric wiring. the
plastering, the placing of the cells
were all done by the prisoners.
With the exception of the hospi-
tai and administration building and
two great cell houses, all of the
buildings inside the enclosure are fin
ished.
Probably a cleaner, more sanitary,
finer appointed prison house exists
nowhere in the world than this one.
The interiors of all the buildings are
as white as paint can make them.
The massive tiers of cells have
white coated iron steps, surmounted
by highly polished rails.

HAVE THE
REPORT READY
(Scripps News Association.)

NEW YORK, Jan. lin accord
ance with the promise made by
Senator Armstrong, chairman of
the insurance investigation COM
mittee, a report has been prepared,
including all the material so far
gathered by the committee in re-
gard to the subject under investi-
cation. The report, it is stated, al
though not fully completed, will be
finished in few days and will be
ready to be submitted to the legis-
lature at the earliest opportunity
The question, whether the commit.
tee will continue the investigation
or not, will be lett to the legisla-
ture and the opinions regarding the
probable course of that body differ
materially.
In regard to the fact that neither
Postmaster General Cortelyou nor
Cornelius N. Bliss have been exam
ined, Senator Arms trong has said,
that it would be useless to waste
any time with such an examination,
as these two gentlemen could not
contribute any information concern
ing the campaign contributions by
the insurance companies, which
had not been brought already in
the investigation. In some quarters
it is believed that the democratic
members of the legislature will not
be satisfied with the result of the
investigation and will demand
continuance of the hearing, in the
hope that some additional facts,
damaging to the republican party,
may be brought out.

AFTER HIS LITTLE GOLDEN.
HAIRED GIRL.

WILDER, VT Dec. 3O.-"There
goes the man who hanged Mary
Rogers"
That is the way the people of
this town now. designate Angus
MacAuley, the deputy sheriff who
sprung the gallows trap that
brought death to Vermont's most
notable criminal.
"Hangman! Hangman!" shout
the children of the town at pretty
little Mary McAuley, the golden
haired daughter of the deputy.
And little Mary, with tears
streaming from her eyes, seeks the
comforting arms of her sweet
faced mother to sob out her trou-
bles and heartaches caused by
thoughtless playfellows.
But with the father it is a differ
ent story. Many years of his life
have been passed in this quiet vii
lage. he KNOWS every man, WO-
man and child in it. When it was
known that he was to spring the
trap that would send woman
plunging to tsgraceful death,
many of his neighbors and friends
thought he ought to resign.
1T isn't mans work." the told
MacAuley.
But it's my duty" he answered.
ut is a distasteful task, but no man
should play the oward by trying
to evade his sworn duty"
MacAuley is o Scotch parentage.
He knows not the meaning of fear.
AS a soldier he would march to
the lannon's mouth if his superior
