Differ Various.

DLVETEU- v HYIOHS.
It has been said that no two
things in nature are exactly alike.
The words to be here distin-
guished express degrees of their
unlikeness. Various marks the
dissimilarity of the species. Diff
texsnf shows the unlikeness existing
in generals. Things are infinitely
various; that is, it is impossible to
enumerate all the points in which
they vary. We cannot, however,
say that things are infinitely differ
ent, because this word more exactly
defines the point Of unlikeness.
The flowers of rose-bush will be
various in size and shape, and will
be different from the flowers of
the pink or dahlia. Different peo-
pie think differently. A subject
affects the mind of men variously,
when they all entertain the same
opinion of it in the main, but not
in detail; it affects them differently.
when some entertain an opinion of
it totally opposed to that of others.
Evsdent-O dvsous.
What is clearly proved is e0'sdent;
what proves itself is 06vions. The
latter is a stronger term than the
former. It requires some, tho not
a great effort of the mind, to per-
ceive what is evident; what is OBJ
vious requires no stretch of the
mind to understand-it presents
itself to our view-nay, thrusts it..
self upon our notice. Intuitive
truths are obvious, deduced truths
become evident. It is evident
that two straight lines cannot in
close space; it is obvious that
the whole is greater than it's part.
The door between US and heaven
cannot be open while that between
us and our fellowmen is shut.-Ex

CHICAGO ELEVATOR FALLS
Five Fatally injured; Operator Is In
competent.

competent.
Chicago, Nov. Standardization fol
lowing an elevator accident Saturday
afternoon that resulted in the instant
death of two men, the fatal injury of
five persons and the painful injury of
five others, indicates that other ar
rests may follow the arrest of Leo
Considine, operator of the car.
Considine has told the police that he
knew absolutely nothing about run
ming an elevator, but that he was or
dered by one of the managers of the
firm, the Ederheimer & Stein Clothing
Manufacturing company, to take
charge of the car for an hour while
the regular man went to lunch. Con-
sldines regular work is that of porter.
The investigation indicates that it
was his lack of knowledge rather than
the breaking of cable that caused
the accident.
The engineer of the building de-
clares the elevator was inspected last
week by the city, and that he has
made a personal inspection of it daily.
The car was in good condition, he
says, and the fact that the return
weights fell from the top of the build
ing onto the car shows that the cable
did not break. Had it done so, the
weights would have beaten the car to
the basement, he contends.
Considine's story is that when the
car reached the tenth floor with its
load of 20 people it began to shoot
down like lightning. He reversed the
lever, or rather did what he thought
was reversing it, but this only seemed
to increase the speed. 1t may be con
tended that in his lack of knowledge
he did just the opposite of reversing.
Jacob Scramek, clothing cutter, and
man still unidentified. were taken
from the debris in the basement, dead
Arthur Horwich 10; Rose Brantman
10: Nicholas Baths, As; Morris Davis
Is, and Frank McHale were fatally in
| iured.
The flight of the crowded elevator
caused a panic in the building. The
screams of 20 people imprisoned could
be heard half block away.

Murder and Suicide Is the Result at
Hoquiam, Wash.-Mrs. Todd Makes
Her Statement Public.

Hoquiam, Wash.-After several
weeks of silence, Mrs. Todd has finally
decided to make public the statement
given the officials which led to the
arrest of Ralph w. Steele for the muir
der of her husband, and the suicide of
Steele in jail The sworn statement
is in part as follows:
November, 1906, during the county
election, Steele and two loggers work
ing for my husband came to our house
and rented rooms. Ralph Steele acted
then the same as any other man, but
after while he made himself one of
the family.
Il was good to him, as was always
good to any nice man that worked for
Frank, and tried to be mother or sis
ter to them, as most of them were out
here alone. Mr.. Steele took another
meaning to my actions and as he knew
Mr.. Todd and myself did not live hap
PLY together, made love to me, and
let him. We planned to live together
some time in the future, and he was
to go to Mexico about the first of Sep
TENDER, 1907. l was to follow in Feb
ruary, 1908.
Il was not going to run away with
him, as | wanted to leave my husband
and children in the right way, as
wanted to get divorce. Then Mr..
Todd stopped drinking and things at
home were getting better, but mad
put myself in Steele's power by writ
ing silly letters to him, and he told me
if | did not keep my agreement he
would show them to Frank and have
them published. was foolish enough
to believe he would
He has often come to my room and
wanted me to be untrue to Frank, but
/ told him as long as l was married
to Frank would never have anything
to do with any other man until a di-
vorce was granted and things done
right, distrusted him and hated him,
but was so much in Steele's power that
could not get away.
August 81, after we had retired,
Frank went to stop the water running,
and suddenly / heard a noise as if
wood was falling, and waited minute
and not hearing anything more l went
to the kitchen door, and the light from
the kitchen showed me Frank lying
down and some one else over him. l
tainted and knew nothing for some
time
When l came to was in bed and
Steele was sitting beside me with a
revolver in his hand, and when cried
he told me it was no use, as the deed
was done and he did it for me because
he wanted me and there was no other
way, only if was going to break down
he would finish the job and kill me and
himself. Steele told me not to call any
one until Z o'clock, but called the
people at o'clock, because / could
stand it no longer.
IF l would have only told, they
would have lynched him and my
trouble would have been over, but l
was afraid and told everybody lies.
But because l was a coward and did
not tell the truth knew l might be
the cause of more deaths"
