HELD FOR MURDER.
Four Tramps Held to District Court for Murder
Of Brakeman Carr. Recent Developments
Indicate Authorities Have Right Parties.

1t looks now as though the Northern
Pacific Ry. Co. had the four hobos i'm
plicated in the murder of Oscar Carr.
The men held, against whom COM
plants have been sworn out, are:
Roy Nathan.
Geo. Miller.
Geo. Buchanan.
Alex Balm.
The two first-named men are believed
to have been the ones who did the shoot
ing, and Nathan is the party captured
last. He was found in the country about
six miles from Leeds, N. D.
Nathan is the party who expressed a
bed from Dickinson to Jamestown the
night of July 20. He claims that he left
Dickinson for Jamestown on No. the
morning of the goth. His name is on
the St. Paul hotel register in this city for
this date.
The murder was committed IL miles
east of Dickinson soon after midnight
the morning of the goth, and it is be-
lieved that Nathan came back to this
city and registered.
At Jamestown Nathan bought ticket
and checked his bed to Leeds. He was
found with revolver
Miller is thought to be the other really
bad man of the the four held, although
no gun was found on his person.

SLEEP AND DIET.
Without Slumber Digestion and As.
aimfInfinn Are InnerRant

Without SIumber Digestion and AS
similatiOn Are Imperfect.
One of the most important functions
of that mysterious physical condition
we term sleep Is so little understood
that persons who cheat themselves
habitually out of two or three hours
Of their natural rest every night are
heard wondering at the same time why
they are affected with dyspepsia and
malnutrition. Care, even rigor, in the
matter of diet seems to avail nothing,
the stomach continuing in a condition
of chronic revolt.
In reality the processes of digestion
and assimilation are so closely inter
woven with slumber that unless the
required amount of sleep is taken it is
impossible for the body to be nourish-
ed, If, indeed, the food undergoes the
ordinary digestive changes.
1t is only when the brain and the en-
tire nervous system are practically off
duty that the processes of ultimate nu-
triton take place. The food eaten is
finally assimilated and transformed
into new tissues, into blood, muscle,
nerves and brain, only while the body
Is relaxed in slumber.
A curious illustration of this neces-
sity Of sleep Is that furnished by the
six day endurance races. One man en-
gagged in these deadly tests eats FIVE
times as much as a man on ordinary
labor could cram down. Want of sleep
has rendered it impossible for even the
enormous amount of food taken at this
time into the body to form new tissue.

'The blood is the life Science has
never gone beyond that simple statement
of scripture. But it has Illuminated that
statement and giving it a meaning ever
broadening with the increasing breadth Of
knowledge. When the blood is bad" or
impure it is not alone the body which suf
fers through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and Judgment are af

thought may be directly traced to the i'm
purity of the blood. No one can be well

Eslsfmo ThroMinr sticks.

A throwing stick" Throwing
board" or spear thrower," as 1t is
sometimes called, is contrivance for
casting javelin or harpoon, which is
employed by various savage races,
such as the Australians, some South
American tribes and especially by the
Eskimos, among whom its use is al
most universal. Roughly speaking, it
is narrow grooved board foot or so
long, with one end cut into a handle
and the other provided with a stud or
spur for the butt of the spear to rest
against 1t is used thus: Grasping the
handle as he would a sword, the man
fits the shaft of the spear into the
groove, with the butt resting against
the stud, steadylng the spear with the
finger. Then, extending his arm and
bending back his hand till the spear
lies horizontal. he aims at the mark
and propels the weapon by a quick
forward jerk of the stick. In this way
l have seen Eskimo boys casting their
forked javelins at wounded waterfowl.

Nothing is more fascinating than the
unsolved problems of science Some
of those pertaining to metallurgy were
discussed at recent meeting Of the
Institute of Civil Engineers In London.
There Is a common carbon steel which

cold 43 degrees and possesses the hard
ness number 22S on the Brinell scale.
If heated only 10 degrees higher. to
735 degrees, and then quenched and
cooled it bends only ~ degrees, and its
hardness becomes 512 Finally when
the heat is increased another 5 de-
gress, to TAO degrees, the effect is that
the steel will not bend at all, and its
hardness number rises to 713 All
these results are produced by range

Floresco claims to have brought back
life to dogs whose hearts have stopped
from twenty-five to forty minutes. He
applies electrodes directly to the heart
either on the outside or by needles to
the inside of the ventricles. Danilew-
sky has started heart beats In rabbit
twentyfour hours after death, and in
the auricles three days after death.
This he accomplished by perfusion of
1he heart by Locke's solution. Inhibi-
ton of this heart action can be brought
about by applying electrodes at the
root of the aorta. Locke and Rosen-
helm perfused a heart that had been
hanging In the laboratory for five days
since It's removal from the rabbits
body and caused 1t to give beats of
considerable magnitude. Howell of
Johns Hopkins concludes from his ex-
periments that Inhibition of the heart
depends on the presence of diffusable
potassium compounds In the heart It's
sue and that these impulses act indi-
rectly by increasing the amount of po-
tassium compounds of this character.
From the physiological standpoint,
therefore, 1t looks as If the day may
come when death viii he cheated Of its
prey and the heart forced to take up

1t Is one of the amiable traditions of
the senate of the United States that no
new senator shall make set speech
till he has served year or longer Old
senators are very impatient of the as
sumption OF Importance by newcomers.
The late George q. Edmunds of Yer

that he would soon retire from public
life. Idaho had just been admitted as
state, with the privilege of electing
senators, the one for a long term and
the other for a short term. A Mr.. Nc
Cornell drew the short term and, hav-
ing but two months to serve, proceeded
to make the best of it. The day after
he had been sworn In he took up a
position in the middle aisle and, In a
fog horn voice, made his speech.
While he was holding the fort Mr..
Edmunds entered the chamber. He
stopped short and gazed at the speaker
with the utmost establishment. Then
he made his way to his seat and, lean
ing over to the senator next to him,
asked:

MADE FUN OF PHARAOH.
The Ancients Evidently Had a Keen
Sense of Humor

-
Sense of Humor.
The fables of .5csop prove that the
ancients were not without a liking for
fun, and the remains of ancient art tell
the same story. Examples of artistic
humor are more common than Is sup
posed by most persons.
A drawing on a tile in the Metropoli-
tan museum, in New York, represents
a cat dressed as an Egyptian lady of
fashion. She is seated languidly In a
chair, slipping wine out of small bowl
and being famed and offered dainties
by an abject looking tomcat, his tail
between his legs.
The cat figures largely in the ancient
comic groups of animal life. In a
papyrus in the British museum flock
of geese are being driven by a cat and
a herd of goats by two wolves with
crooks and wallets. One Of the wolves
Is playing double pipe
There is in the museum Of Turin
papyrus roll which displays a whole
series of such comlcal scenes. In
the first place lion, crocodile and
an ape are giving vocal and instru-
mental concert. Next comes an ass,
dressed, armed and sceptered like
pharaoh. With majestic swagger he
receives the gifts presented to him by
a cat of high degree, to which a bull
acts as proud conductor.
Another picture shows pharaoh in
the shape of rat. drawn in carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He is pro
ceeding to storm a fort garrisoned by
cats having no arms but teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle
axes and bows and arrows.

The Theory of Sensation After the
Head La Severed.
Half dozen physicians were talking
of death. 1t isn't a subject usually
chosen by physicians for discussion, but
these were discussing it. However. 1t
was not altogether physical death.
They were including the hereafter.
WELL" said one, 81 don't know
whether there is to be a hereafter or
not, and it doesn't trouble me very
much, because I'll take chances on 1t If
] can make the life live before 1t the
kind of life a man ought to live. But
there is one thing about it that makes
me hope there will be another life, and
that is the opportunity / shall have Of
asking some of the people who have
had their heads cut off If there was any
sensation for few minutes succeeding
decapitation. l believe now that there
is, and that life remains long enough
for the decapitated person to realize
that he has lost his head, or, rather,
that he has lost his body, because the
head is the center Of thought, and, of
course, it is the body that is lost, not
the head. At least that is the way
man with his head off would be bound
to think of 1t. l fancy there is no pain,
because that would require some time,
and if life exists at all after decapita-
ton it would not be long enough to
realize the sensation of pain. 1t must
be very queer sort of feeling, and. as
I say. l hope there is life hereafter

QUAINT ARCTIC LEGEND.
An Old Russian story About the Los
Tribes of Israel.


Tribes of Israel.
Years and years ago. so the legend
runs, an eXiled Jew on the bleak wilds
Of northern Siberia, In an effort to
reach an overhanging branch of tree
placed his foot upon a log floating in
the water. No sooner had his foot
touched the log when 1t seemed in
spired with life and moved rapidly of
bearing the exile away toward the vast
Ice fields, which were plainly visible
and plentiful toward the north. Rapid.
~ the current swept the log northward,
bearing with it the unfortunate Jew
who was so benumbed with fear and
cold that he was unable TO formulate
a plan of escape from his perilous posi-
ton.
For three consecutive days and nights
the prisoner chung to the log. passing
through towering fields of icebergs and
dashing under arches cut by the cur
rent through the skyscraplng fields of
Ice Out into beautiful sunshine our
traveller eventually emerged. The grass
was green and the trees were CARRIED
In the splendor of nature, and birds
made merry music on every branch
People, great In numbers, were congre-
gated on either bank of the stream, all
dressed In holiday raiment of the finest
texture, but similar IN character to the
clothing worn by our ancestors 1000
years ago. The current Of the stream
ceased to flow, the log drifted to the
bank, and the almost famished and
thoroughly frightened traveller repeated
for the thousandth time the Hebrew
words, 'Shama-Israel," and In uncer-
tain manner dismounted from the log.
The inhabitants crowded about, and,
speaking In Hebrew with which Ian
guage he was thoroughly conversant),
learned Of his need Of food and rest
and supplied those wants, after which
they inquired whence he came and
whittier he was going. Numerous In
quiries were made regarding the people
who lived beyond their circumscribed
world, who In reciprocity informed him
OF themselves and their mode of living.
which had in nowise changed since the
advent of the Christian era
They worked and worshiped even as
did the Jew In ancient times, when
Palestine was a garden and Jerusalem
the center of civilization The traveller
learned that these people were the lost
tribes of Israel. who had migrated to
this godly country, led by the descend
ant Of Aaron named Joseph, who had
passed away without leaving any de-
scendants. With them they had
brought many of the vessels and much
of the paraphernalia of SoIomon's tenn
pie and patterned their house of wor-
ship after this famous temple of Jeru-
salem
The traveller was told that the
streams current was active six days
In the week and on the seventh be-
came quiet and did not move, but as
he was a member of a different tribe
from themselves he would not be al
lowed to remain within the country
So he was placed in boat which was
pushed out into the current and was
borne by a circuitous route back to 81

Built on Volcano, the Results Are
Somewhat Startling.
San Salvador is built on a volcano
1t has been three times destroyed by
an earthquake, but the people are be-
coming accustomed to such excitement
now. Earthquakes are pretty frequent,
and, while one is naturally nervous,
there is really little danger to life.
The shocks have been known to come
as frequently as eighty times in an
hour
The effects are quite peculiar. In the
city Is brick column, nine feet high
and three feet square, which was re-
moved a hundred feet without losing
its perpendicular or cracking the NOR
tar
The ground under the city is full of
caverns Of unknown depth. A man
was digging a well there. The last
stroke he gave with his pick the bot
tom fell out, and he and his pick and
all fell through, nobody knows where.
There Is a volcano not far from San
Salvador that some years ago dis
charged lava over a forest The wood
all caught fire, of course, but the lava,
being light and easily cooled, formed
and hardened into long areades through
which it was possible to walk Even
now the imprint of the trunks and
branches of the trees can be seen.

Centenarians give various reasons to
which they ascrbe their longevity, but
it is significant that they all agree on
the advantage of plenty of work and
little worry in aiding length of life.
The advice lately given by woman
over a hundred is worth considering,
as she advises one to eat when hungry,
sleep when sleepy, with plenty Of
sleep, to work constantly, keep cheer
full and avoid worry. This puts in a
few words the doctrine of the simple
life, and her conclusion is worthy of
an ancient sage when she says that IL
these rules will not produce health and

The streets of Peru, especially on
gala days or when they wear the spe-
cial dress of some celebration, are said
to be among the most picturesque In
the world. In their narrow proportions
they resemble somewhat the streets Of
China. and the variety and contrast of
the colors used in decoration may be
compared with the Chinese. There is,
however, distinct Latin character to
the decoration, which lends them an
atmosphere. entirely their own.
