FOG PREVENTION.
Scientific American.

An italian engineer has offered to
secure immunity for London from the
dense fogs which occasionally enyel-
OPP her and paralyze her traffic, and as
he asks for financial aid to demonstrate
his theories the London county coun
ell has declined his offer. Writing OF
this fog problem. Consul General
Wynne OF London says. 'In replying
to the report which made light OF the
theory that fogs could be driven away
by the discharge of cannon, civil
and electric engineer Informs the writ
or TINT the Inventor OF the fog dis-
peller has never claimed to be able
TO displnce the atmosphere I'm order to
prevent the fog from forming or to
drive Il away when once formed. His
theory is quite different and the work
10 do very simple He states that In
order TO prevent the phenomenon from
taking place IL suiIlces to destroy the
atmospheric equilibrium which exists AT
the moment when the fog forms and
which lasts as long as the fog lasts.
The Inventor states that the tran
guilty OF the atmosphere il the sole
cause OF fog. his purpose Is TO pro-
duce movement In the air molecules.
This movement IL easily obtained by
means OF vibrations OF the atmosphere.
In order 70 produce molecular move
mont IN 100 tons OF metal It is not in
the least necessary to displace the
mass OF metal-it rs sufficient 10 strike
Il with a hammer to put the molecules
OF the entire mass In vibration" The
inventor quotes the case OF hail in
France, whore a discharge at the right
moment has often dispersed gather
ing storm. According 10 recently
Issued report OF the District Ylticul-
ture Society OF Lyons France, II APP
pears that IN the ten years preceding
the use OF protection against hail the
losses amounted TO about Sc 500, 900. In
the six following years they amounted
only 10 100000. and II Is here stated
that "all the slight failures sustained
were invariably due TO tho relaxation
OF discipline on tho part OF the firers
who allowed themselves 20 be taken
un0wares."

The Salt Lake Tribune suggests that
the American" party is responsible for
the proposed raise in the valuation of
property in this City, and that the in
crease In taxes is needed to help the
administration out of the hole in which
extravaganza. incompetence and fraud
have plunged the City. We have not
looked upon the proposition In that
way. But the Tribune ought to know
BY the way, how much is the City in
the hole? The taxpayers are possibly
interested in that question.

The trouble with political investiga-
lions OF the record OF political tools is
that truth is never brought out by
them. This has been proved time and
again in numerous instances all over
the country. When an official can be
depended upon as a vote getter, the
bosses of the party to whose services
he is sold are sure to see to it that
little crookedness and graft are COW
cred up. one way or another. The main
question in investigations of that kind
is not, what is the truth In the mat
ter? 1t is rather, how can the truth
be concealed from public view. and that
problem is generally solved by means
known to the experts in deception.

"First-It cfa1rIy recognizes the
reality of the mind and the body and
the inseparable relation existing be-
tween them while connected with the
human organism.
"Second-It affirms most emphati-
cally the value of anatomy, physiology,
bacteriology, histology and the like
in the progress of the race as well
as that Of psychology. The practical
bearing of psychology in the treat
ment of disease has come from the
increasing light which psychology
throws upon the human frame.
'Third-It maintains that there is
fundamental distinction between
functional and organic disease. The
former includes the multiplied forms
of mental and nervous disorders,
which are directly amenable to
psychial and religious influence. The
organic includes those in which i'm
portant changes have taken place in
the bodily structure. Among these
maladies may be named cancer
malignant tumors. tuberculosis, diph-
liberia, scarlet fever, smallpox and
the like. These troubles may REQUIRE
surgical aid and the application of
material remedies. We, who are in
terested in this movement, would con-
slider ourselves very unreasonable if
we thought that by applying material
remedies for material ills we were
limiting the power of God in healing
disease.
'"The hunger of people for this prac-
teal Christianity makes me feel that
a new era is at hand, not only for the
sick and suffering, but for all of US
who to use the motto of our Happy
club. which is working out these new
ideas practically, are trying to meet
life bravely, and to do our best to live
in harmony with Gods wishes 1t will
be an era of healthier men and
women, of better homes, of stronger
churches, If we can teach our mem
bers the Christian selr-control that
means harmony and peace"

STUBS IN TOPEKA.

Continued from Page One.)
time to political affairs. when his object
is to put the affairs of the state on a
business basis"
Then Mr.. Stubs took a shot at some
of his political enemies. They call
me- he said. "a purist. They call me
fire alarm They call me a railroad
thou person. That's the sort of things
they call me, and that's why stay in
this fight
Mr.. Stubs denied that he took a
gloomy view of things. He said that
President Roosevelt had taken the
them on a rock. This brought forth ap-
plause. He declared that in his opinion
Governor Bailey is a charming man
and a splendid citizen, but that he is
being used in this campaign by the
politicians and railroad lobbyists.
Mr. Stubs devoted considerable time
to the discussion of his pet theory, the
federal charter scheme. Mr.. StubbS
thinks that every corporation should
be required to get charter from the
are required to do. He complimented
highly the operating departments of
the various railroads. and said that
they represented the highest develop
ment of business talent. but the
financial end of those railroads In New
H.,
country" (Applause.)
"Rockefeller," he said, :'if judged ac-
cording to the standards by which or
binary people are Judged, would have TO
live a thousand years to serve out MS
sentence in prison. And yet Rocke-
Teller thinks he is a pretty good sort OF
a man, and regards himself as moral,
but I think he is the greatest ROPER
the world ever saw.
Then Mr.. Stubs explained how cor
porations are>"watered;" how hundreds
of millions OF dollars are made by f1oae-
ing stock. and how this stock is made
to pay dividends by increasing the
prices of commodities He SAID tnat
these big corporations could be easily
controlled in the same way that ma
tional banks are controlled; by giving
the government the right to step in
and close up any corporation which the
government finds has violated its fran
chise rights.
THAT sort of treatment is good for
the banks" said Mr.. Stubs, land be-
lieve we should give the railroads some
of the same medicine. l believe they
would enjoy life better on earth and go
to heaven surer when they died"
Mr. Stubs talked for while in favor
Of a great big Inheritance tax He in
dictated that he thought about fifty or
seventy-fve per cent of fortunes of
the Rockefeller size would be the
proper amount for the state to take at
the death of the poSsessor. He said 1t
would not be a good thing for theyouns
generation to have so much money, and
as the young generation was not able
to defend itself, the remark went I'M
challenged
Mr.. Stubbs held his audience well to
the end and was given a good farewell
burst of applause when he finished.

ALMOST A MONOPOLY.
Standard Controls 90 Per Cent of the
Oil Business.

New York. Jan. 15.-More than SO
per cent of the oil business in Colo
RADIO, Wyoming, Utah, Montana and
New Mexico is controlled by the
Standard Oil company according to
testimony adduced at the hearing OF
the government suit to dissolve the
corporation. Christian Dredger of the
Statistical department of the Stand
ard Oil company identified statements
certifying to the above percentage
William G. Rockefeller Jr., was
examined regarding a 100000 loan
made to Mr.. Barnsdale, who, the
government is trying to prove, is a
secret buyer for the Standard Oil com
pany in western Pennsylvania. In
1905 alone loans to Barnsdale are said
to have reached 100000 upon
which practically no. interest was
charged. Beyond saying that the
100000 was secured by mortgage
bonds of the Kansas Natural Gas
company and the Pittsburg Oil and
Gas company, together with mort
cages on real estate and coal lands,
Mr.. Rockefeller said he had little
knowledge of the transaction, and re-
ferred Frank B. Kellogg, the gov
eminent attorney, to other officers of
the company.

and killed John E. Eckhart, a ranch
man southeast of Tribune. on Janu-
airy at the ranch of F. B. Nordyke
came up before Justice c. L. Scoville
Hornung waived examination. He
has not yet been able to secure an at
torney to act for him. The people
have hired w. NJ. Glenn and Clement
L. Wilson, two local attorneys to as
sist D. R. Beckstrom in the prosecu-
ton and have asked Judge Chas. E
Lobdel of Larned, Kan. to approve
the same.
Hornung's brother, c. w. Hornung,
of Chester, Ill, is here, and it is said
that he will send a number of law
yers from his state and also procure
good criminal lawyer from Chilli
Gothic, Mo, where J. F. Hornung
formerly lived. The gun with which
Hornung shot Eckhart is in the pos
session-of the county attorney and is
$3.50 caliber Winchester.
The next term of district court of
Greeley county will convene on Janu-

to hear this case. It is reported by
the neighbors that Hornung has been
a very 'quarrelsome and disagreeable
man in the neighiborhood and that he
neighbors that he would not only kill
Eckhart but threatened to kill a
number CT Greeley county citizens. On
the other hand, the neighbors all
speak we'll of Eckhart and it is
claimed that he never had fight or

time.

If past records are any criterion, the
Nebraska team ought to put up a
good game here tomorrow night Last
season they were the undisputed in
section of the country, having twice
defeated Baker, the champion team of
Kansas. This season they have prac-
tically the same team.
Three of the Nebraska team have
played together for years. They
started in the Lincoln high school and
have played together ever since. Four
or five years ago Millice and Hope
played against them in a game at
Lincoln between the Topeka high
school and the Lincoln school. The
star player of the Nebraska team is
Walsh who now plays a forward. He
is a member Of the old Lincoln high
school team and is also the left half
on the football team.
Both sides will put up a good game
tomorrow night. Washburn is handi-
capped by not being able to practice
on the same court upon which they
play but the team has some strong in
dividual stars who play hard all the
time. Washburn will play the best
game that she is able to play in order
to win from Nebraska. To win this
game would mean more than any 9TH
er game on the schedule.
The WaShburn lineup will be, Hope
and Tice, forwards; Millice, center;
Montgomery and Captain Leo Haughey,
guards.
Later on in the season Washburn
will take a trip into Nebraska play
ing at Lincoln and Omaha with Y. M.
C. A. and college teams. In March the
team will take a trip to the western
part of the state, playing at Manhat-
tan, Fort Riley, Salina, Wichita, New
ton and Emporia. Good strong games
have been secured for Topeka at in
tervals during the next two months
which will round ont the strong
schedule of games for the Washburn
team.

NO COMMISSION ELECTION.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan 15-Mayor
Cornell has announced that he would
not call a special election at this time
to vote on the adoption Or rejection of
the commission form of government
This decision was based on a report of
R. J. Mcfarland, election commission
or, who found that the petitions asking
for such an election were not signed by
sufficient number of qualified cleo
tors
Under the law 1,400 signatures of
petitioners ere necessary for the calling
of such an election The petitions sent
in bore the names of about 1.60c signers
but the election commissioner found
about 400 were defective because the
proper precinct addresses were not
given
