The instrument Is the invention Of
w. A. Williams, working engineer,
who calls ii "sexophone." With Gen.
Sir Alfred Turner and two or three
other influential people ! went to find
out what this "sexophone" really is.
The instrument is simply pendu-
lum constructed OF copper wire and
piece OF magnetized steel. at the
lower end OF which Is suspended a
pith ball. the whole depending from a
wooden handle inlet with copper,
which is held In the center OF the

animals-rabbits. guinea pigs white

Then 1t was tried on eggs. Five
eggs were tested, and in the case OF

male sex every time. The sex OF the

THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONER
SITUATION
Hidden Purpose Behind
Scheme to Have Pauls
File New Bond

County Commissioners Panls, Brooks
and Brazelton and County Clerk James
we're again summoned to appear in the
district court at Colorado Springs last
Monday, when second hearing was
held before Judge Sheafor to decide
whether or not the bond which MIR Pauls
gave was legal 1t seems that there was
some little techpicality in the wording
OF Mr.. Pauls' bond, although it was ap
proved by Judge Sheafor, who is now
judging the case. Although the case
was finished, judgment was withheld for
a few days and up to the time of going
to press no decision has reached us.
1t is positive fact that a few Kiowa
politicians are trying their best to get
Mr.. Pauls to file new bond. This is a
clever scheme for legalizing the appoint
ments made by the irregular board Of
commissioners during the unavoidable
absence of Mr.. Pauls, caused by the Sc
rious Illness of his wife and the sad
death of his baby.
The fight now seems to have centered
on Mr.. Trowbridge # Colorado Springs.
whom the irregular board OF commits
sioners insist on appointing as county
attorney. We are at loss to under.
stand why Mr.. Trowbridge is SO badly
needed in Elbert county politics and for
the benefit of our readers we quote from
the Colorado Springs Gazette the fol
lowing:
"In full settlement of the sum OF &c.
682 40. owed to the seven counties in the
Fourth judicial district by former Dis.
trict Attorney Trowbridge, for excess
salary drawn by him, the commissioners
of the various counties have accepted
"a 600 from the bonding company which
went security for Trowbridge. The
money will be divided proportionately
among the counties of FL Paso, Teller,
Elbert, Kit Carson, Douglas, Cheyenne
and Lincoln.
"Trowbridge was district attorney from
January, 1901, to January, 1905, and
drew total of S6,682 45 in excess OF his
salary OF $1,000 per year. or Sl2 600 for
the term. The commissioners of the re-
spective counties combined to file suit
for the recovery of the excess fees"
