Common ownership of "the line

source from which have flowed some
of the deadliest of neighbors' quar-
rels. Over trivial disputes of many
kinds hanging over the line fence
men have quarreled and fought with

time out of mind.

A New Arc Lamp.

A new arc lamp is brought out in
Germany by the engineer Tito Car
bone 1t is provided with magnetic
device for blowing the arc, and this
is said to give a great increase in the
lighting power as we'll as to improve
the quality of the light, and the latter
resembles sunlight in color. The
great lighting power of the lamp is
caused by the special form which is
given to the electromagnetic which
blows the arc. Owing to this form
the arc is made to take hemisphere
ella shape and it is kept in this posi-
ton which assures a regular wear OF
the carbons. The length of the arc
requires high tension and for direct
current IS volts is needed, and IS
volts for alternating current. The
Carbone lamp, with 16-inch carbons,
will burn for IA to 16 hours in spite
of the small diameter of the carbons
For direct current it uses to mill
meter carbons. About 10 amperes
current is needed Prof Wedding. Of
Berlin, estimates the luminous intct;
sity in the vertical direction and near
the bottom to be 1000 candle power
using a current of 10 amperes and 10
volts, this with clear glass globe.
Owing to the oblique position of the
carbons, the arc and the crater can
project almost all me light down

rectors and all stockholders are ur-
gently requested to be present for
the purpose of making this Board

Death of Dowie.

John Alexander Dowie died Satur-
day at Zion City, ILL.,, the city he
founded and made famous on the
north shore of Lake Michigan
The aged leader of the Zion sect
had been in a state of dissolution for
months. Beaten in his later years for
control of the great properties he had
originated, the prophet failed to re-
cover his old-time physical strength.
BY the death of John Alexander
Dowie is ended the career of the
most resourceful religious fakir that
has appeared on the stage in this
country. In the days of his prime
he was irresistible among those who
were at all susceptible of being hood
winked, bamboozled and superblv
humbugged Dowie's downfall dates
from the time, when he proclaimed
himself an apostle and deported him
self as Elijah III. That dose Of hum.
buggery was too much for popular
consumption even among the be-
nighted and superstitious.

The Weight of a Soul.

All OtneT discoveries III SClSHCC lOl
thousands OF years past put together
are eclipsed by the recent alleged ex-
periments reported from Boston dem
onstrating the existence and the
weight avoirdupois of the human soul.
The authority for the story at pres
ent is DIR. Duncan MacDougall of
Haverhill, Mass, representing the
Research club, which has been con-
Quoting the experiments for the last
six years at Massachusetts sanitar-
ium These experiments consist in
slipping dying persons on pair Of
scales constructed for the purpose
and observing their weight immedi-
ately before and Immediately after
death. The astonishing discovery
made is that the weight OF the human
body is from half an ounce to an
ounce less just after death than just
before death. This difference, it is
claimed, represents the weight of the
human soul.
This story recalls the anecdote re-
lated of Benjamin Franklin and the
Paris savants. DR.. Franklin asked
their explanation of the fact that
vase of water weighed no more with
fish within it than without it. 1t is
said that they discussed it a week
before they discovered that it was not
a fact. 1t may be well, therefore,
not to assume all at once that the
story of DR.. MacDougall is anything
more than a joke.
Granting, however, that the body
weighs an ounce less after death than
before it, why should the reduction
be attributed to the escape of the
soul? If this were true the real dis
covery would not be the exact weight
of the soul but that the soul is ma
terial thing, or, in other words, that
there is no such thing as spirit The
experiments, therefore, should have
been heralded as the demonstration
of materialism.
If it be true that there is SOUL
that it is a material thing and that it
can be weighed then DR.. MacDougall
might add still further to his fam,
by another experiment. The dying
man might be put under receiver
and his soul caught in a glass jar
Not only so but by the application
of cold and pressure it might be re-
duced to liquid, like liquid air Pos
sibly it might be combired chemically
with other material and become a
solid, like a piece of chalk.
Here we are treading on the con-
fines of another world If mans
soul can be condensed and solidihed
so as to be worn like a charm on a
watch chain it can be shut out of
heaven or saved from hell Evidently
this is something for the serious con-
sideration of BILLY" Sunday and 9th
err revivalists. Chicago Chronicle.

Repeal Tax Ferret Law.

After considerable argument and
in the face of some opposition, the
King tax ferret bill, which repeats the
present law in regard to the collec-
ton of delinquent taxes, was passed
in the Senate Friday afternoon
1t was pointed out by those who
opposed the measure that it would
place the entire cost Of collecting de-
linquent taxes on the counties, while
at present the State and the incorpor-
ated cities and towns pay a share of
the expense.
The law as it stands now provides
that the county commissioners may
make contracts for the collection OF
such taxes and that the expense of
collection shall be paid out of the
money obtained and the remainder
distributed among the various funds,
including those of the county and
State and of the city if there be any
city taxes.
The Supreme Court has held that
the county commissioners may make
contracts for the collection of such
taxes, SO that the repeal of the law, il
is said, will not affect this part OF
the business 1t is declaed, however,
that the only way county commits
sioners can collect taxes if the law is
repealed is to pay the expense out OF
the county fund. while the taxes of
the State and corporated city will
be collected free of charge This
feature was pointed out by Senator
Cavins. who opposed the passage Of
the bill
Senators Stephenson and ]. w.
Parks spoke in favor of the bill Sen
ator Stephenson declared that tax
ferrets at present are paid without
any appropriation by the County
Council and that they are obnoxious
to many citizens. Senator ]. W.
Parks said that under the present law
estates are sometimes forced TO make
settlements by the most extreme
methods.

New Renonstrance Law.

One of the last laws enacted by the
Indiana legislature was Senator Tom
Moore's liquor remonstrance meas
ure.
The bill makes a decided change
in the law regulating the granting
OF liquor licenses where a remon-
STRANGE is filed Under this bill the
applicant can only question the valid
ity of names of demonstrators by FL
ing affidavits against individual
names The applicant may single out
such persons on the remonstrance
whome he has reason to believe did
not sign it or who had no right to
sign it. AS to the others the fact that
their names are attached to the re-
monstrance is prima facie evidence
that they signed it and had right to
put their names shere.

The Beardsley Amendment.

he GdnidTQ, or bllnQ Tiger Dill
with the Beardsley amendment is
just such a bill as was the compro-
mise measure which Kansas, in the
eighties adopted when the saloon was
abolished The effect of the bill was
to produce the Kansas Joint" and
was a greater graft measure, for two
classes of individuals than was the
present legislature.
This bill abolished the saloons and
provided for the sale of spirituous
liquors by the druggists. upon APP
plication in printed form, stating that
the same was to be used for medicin-
al, mechanical or experimental pur-
poses, and was not to be used as
beverage"
To discourage the traffic, it provid-
ed that these applications, filled out
by the purchaser and duly endorsed
by the druggist, must at the end of
every calendar month be filed with
the probate judge, who should receive
from said druggist fee of cents
for each and every application so FL
ed.
Soon the habitual drinker got
next" to the druggist and bought his
single drink with impunity; but the
stranger had to fill out the blank and
was compelled to take any quantity
the druggist saw fit to name, or none
Now, in many cases, one drink
would have sufficed but being COM
PEELED TO buy greater quantity of
vile stuff at an exorbitant figure he
was 10th to destroy it, but quaffed it
down only to land in the dog house"
for intoxication.
The probate judge was a man of
leisure and was constantly about
town caring for his interests" OBJ
serving the amount of business done
by each druggist, with whom he be-
came solid" About every two weeks
he would call the druggist to one side
and tell him he had bill to meet"
and would like the loan of ten or
fifteen dollars or what ever amount
he thought the druggist should be
touched up for" and which was
readily "coughed up"
At the end of the month the drug
gist would estimate the amount of
sales, subtract the amount loaned"
the probate judge, then take what few
applications he had secured that were
boni-hde, fill out sufficient blanks.
signing fictitious names to make
about $500, these he duly filed with
the court and paid over the money.
Instead of receiving from SIS to
5000 per month for the support of the
schools from each Joint" it rarely
went over the $500.
Some interesting developments
may appear from this law in our own
state, but the inference to be drawn
is that there is somebody interested"

A SINGING VETO.
Governor Hanly Talks Plainly About
Metropolitan Bill

The veto came to the House in the
hands of Secretary Gemmer shortly
after the body convened at a. m.
Thursday and it was accompanied by
a message from Governor HanIy. In
addition to discussing the constitu-
tional and legal questions involved,
the Governor expressed very plainl,,
his belief concerning the motives
back of the greater part of the oppo
sition to the present law, which pro-
vides for the appointment of police
commissioners by the Governor in
the cities of Anderson, Elkhart, Ham
mond, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Lafay-
cite, Logansport Marion, Muncie,
Michigan City, New Albany, Rich
mond and Vincennes.
Il freely grant," said the Governor
in his message, "the sincerity of
those who believe the mistaken doc
trine that the existing law violates
the spirit of our institutions. But
these are few in number compared
with those who are imbued with 9TH
er purposes. Every brewer and dis
tilling interest in the State is back
of this bill; every gambler, every
midnight marauder, every keeper of
saloon, of brothel, of a wineroom;
every frequenter of bawdyhouse, all
who are opposed to the just and fair
enforcement of the laws touching
public morals, or who claim for them
selves the right to choose what laws
they will obey. These have met in
more than one city since this measure
was introduced in secret conclave,
and there levied assessments and col
lected moneys with which to prose-
cute this fight.
with the repeal of the present law
they see open to them in these sew
enteen cities inviting fields, contain
ing an aggregate population of $780,
600 people, where the laws touching
public morals will be either feebly
enforced or their operation entirely
suspended. They see the opportunity
for the return of the slot machines,
the establishment of winerooms,
gambling joints and bawdy houses:
the return of saloons with unclos ID
doors, where Intoxicating liquors
may be sold on Sundays, on legal
holidays, at unlawful hours, TO min
ors and to drunken men without fear
of punishment"
eff you repeal it the responsibility
must be yours and yours alone. I will
bear no share of it. You may march
with the enemies of the State If yor
like. You may, if you choose. make
fellowship with the saloon keeper
the brewer, the dive keeper and the
gambler, but prefer to cast my lot
with the law-abiding, with the friends
of the home, of the family circle and
of orderly government honestly ad-
ministered."
