their noses crushed. Others who were

$4,000 Loss
BY KELLY n UNI
BAUGH LAST NIGHT.
Fire Breaks Out Again After IL Was
Apparently Put ont.

Two fires at the wallpaper store of
Kelly & limbaugh, 321 Kentucky
avenue, at 1880 O'Clock last night
badly damaged the $4,000 stock of
wallpaper, which is almost a total
loss. Quick work of fremen from
Central station saved the building
from burning. The lower floor was
Quilted by streams of water and much
of the wallpaper burned. Smoke
damaged the stock on the second
floor.
The fire is supposed to have origi-
mated in some unknown manner back
of the rear steps leading to the sec
ond floor. 1t was detected by Lieu
tenant Henry Bailey at the city hall
and an alarm turned in, answered by
the hose and chemical wagon from
Central fire station. After hard work
the flames were subdued. The hose
had been coiled and the fremen
were preparing to depart when the
fire broke out for a second time in
the upstairs. The chemical was put
in operation and the flames subdued.
The loss is. between $4,000 and
$4,000 with $1,000 insurance, ae-
cording to Mr.. limbaugh. one of the
proprietors. Good work of the fire.

In the October number of Hamp-
toms Magazine Charles Edward Rus
sell makes further disclosures of
what goes on in the country's pri5-
ons.
Judging by what Mr.. Russell has
already told in earlier articles of this
series, and what he tells here. we
are soon TO reach a climax of horror
in the conduct of penal institutions.
These places are maintained by the
public for the reform of the criminal
and diseased who menace the public.
That this reform is not accomplished
by the brutal methods in vogue in
prison-methods which were accept
ed in the Dark Ages are an anacn-
ronism in this days set forth
fearlessly by Mr.. Russell.
In this article, which is indeed a
light on dark places. the author cites
the Missouri State prison at Jeffer-
son City as one of the worst.
At Jefferson City favored prison
ers. presumably those with politicai
influence, are allowed extraordinary
privileges. One OF Mr. Russell's as
sociates in this investigation found
that the cell OF one petted prisoner
was adorned with lac curtain. a hand
was adorned with lace curtain. hand
costly bed spreads, and lace-covered
pillows. ON the walls were framed
pictures and On a corner n liberal
supply of sensational novels and
newspapers. Other cells added 10
these delights the luxury OF Oriental
rugs and SILK hangiugs. Prisoners
occupying these cells were at all
times privileged to receive dalnties
and food from their friends.
Even Jefferson City is not so bad
as the Kansas State penitentiary at
Lansing. Three-fourths of the con-
victs are employed in mining coal;
the task" is seventy-five tons a
week for each man or boy. The
mining is carried on under great diff.
are made. Conyicts that fail to get
out their tasks are. or very lately
were, subjected to inhuman fortunes.
Unless within brief time there has
been a change in the controlling pol
icy at this prison. the water cure IS
used here. men are beaten and strung
up by the thumbs. and there is. or
once there was, an ingeniously cruel
device called the rack, which seems
to repeat the fortunes of medieval
Europe.-Hampton's Magazine.

quent occurrence but for the tender
faces of many men, which will not
permit of shaving often. Heretofore,
nothing has been said in these col

coyery, in connection with its use
after shaving. Its publicity and sales
have been confined almost exclusive
ly TO its remarkable properties as
an eczema cure; IL stops the itching

of poslam after shaving is one OF its

roughness, and severe scrapings

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
MethuseIah's Real Age.

There has always existed a certain
amount of doubt in the literal truth
OF the Bible, concerning the great
age to which the Jewish patriarehs
are recorded as having lived. The
problem of reducing these long
periods TO something near the allott-
ed span has often occupied the atten-
ton OF students, and some OF the
theories which have been evolved are
dealt with in the current issue of the
World.
1t is surmised that in the earliest
ing time. Counting by months, how
ever, must have grown cumbersome
and a longer division became abso-
lutely necessary. There is a theory
that the first years we're composed of
five months of thirty days each, the
limit of FIVE being derived from the
fingers OF one hand. IL is also con-
tended that before the five months
year there was a one-month year; in
other words, that a month, the period
of a moon cycle, was termed a year.
An endeavor has been made to prove
this by working out the great ages OF
the first men in the Bible.
Thus, Adams $50 years OF life.
calculated at 291z days, the period OF
"a 'lunation," year, works out 1874
years, which must strike many peo-
pie as a reasonable period of exist
ence.
By this reckoning. be II noted, Me-
thuselah loses his famous record, for
his 969 reputed years are whitfield
down to 7SA. Poor Methuselah thus
became quite rejuyenated, a veritable
Faust.
Excuse for this Encouragement is
found in the Psalmist's limit of the
life of three-score and ten years, and
IL is maintained that between the
times OF Noah and David no such ex-
traordinary change could have taken
place as TO reduce the life OF man by
eleven-twelfths.
The next stage in the working of
time is supposed TO have been the
discovery OF the equinoxes in spring
and autumn, when day and night
we're exactly OF the same length. This
would give five months of thirty days
each. On this basis of year OF 1870
days. Abraham's rs years works out
at ~ and Isaac's $50 at "a.
The twelve-months' year began
with the Egyptians, who saw that a
complete period was made up OF two
years IN one of which the days were
longer than the nights and in the
other the nights longer than the days
