The Conscience Fund.

TIE TO7TSCLE7ZCE ".
THE other day some unknown person sent a
large sum of money to the government authorities,
with the simple explanation that years ago he had
defrauded Uncle Sam and that he wished to square
accounts The money placed to the credit OF
the conscience fund.- fund that is steadily growing
to huge proportions in recent years. There are
many persons who believe that the conscience fund
is Joke However, such is not the case.
In many instances restitution has been made by
those who have become wealthy and later on entered
the ranks Of responsibility and became pillars OF the
church and society. Being in constant fear OF dis
covery or betrayal. they have squared accounts by
sending money to the conscience fund.- Ones con-
science is sometimes stubborn thing to control.
We may mock please at the childish admissions
of others, but there surely comes time when 1t
ceases to be as amusing we imagined.

Schools Us. Saloons.

The legislature of Tennessee has passed bill
that prohibits saloon within four miles of school
house. The measure has provoked much bitterness
among those who for and against the dea as it
practically prohibition turnout the state OF
Tennessee With such law the statute books
the Anti-Saoon League will control the situation.
All they need to do is to erect several schoohouses
at advantageous points, and then demand that the
law be enforced.
In this country the majority rules everywhere.
If they decide that burr-oak tree must not be per-
mitted to flourish within two miles of corn field,
their Judgment is final 1t is very evident that there
will now be great boom in schoolhouses in Tenn
essee: also an increase of blind porkers.

Bridge Built bY COnUictS.

BRIDGE Built BY C0uUicts.
WHAT is perhaps the largest reinforced concrete
bridge test at present under way in this country has
been made possible thru the cooperation OF the
authorities of the Southern Illinois Penitentiary at
Menard, the work being done by convict labor The
bridge was built in the prison yard an old quarry
floor the rock being below the surface OF the ground
The clear span of the bridge is forty feet, and the
width of the roadway eighteen feet.
One of the most interesting features about the
test is the fact that convicts have been employed to
build the bridge, which is perhaps the first instance
where convict labor has been used for the purpose OF
scientific investigation Another feature is the fact
that the bridge is to be tested to destruction The
test includes the loading of the bridge with pre-
minary load equal to the full amount that the struc-
ture is designed to carry, allowing it to remain for
number of days, while the reflections in the floor
and girders will be noted, and then the gradual adj
dition of more weight until the bridge colapses.
The object in making the test is to watch the be-
havior of the bridge under application OF loads far
in excess of the weight it would ordinarily have to
uphold, and to gain knowledge OF the strength OF
the structure as whole, which can be done In nc
other way than by actual test.-Popular Mechanics

WHEAT PRICES
ARE ADVANCED

A one-cent advance in wheat
prices went into effect yesterday
afternoon, bringing the average
selling price of bluestem as high
as $1.06. Bidding in many places
today went to $1.0S, but the in
fiated bids did not affect the stand
ard price. No further rise is
looked for.
Butter and egg markets, which
have been practically dead for the
past three weeks owing to the
great scarcity of produce, are
commencing to revive and within
another week it it is expected that
several prices will have dropped to
their former level.
Washington creamery butter,
heretofore quoted at variance of
from sec to ace, was today fixed
definitely at 35c and dealers stated
that IL any further change ma
terializes this week, 1t will be a
decrease.
Shipments of Southern and hot
house goods are keeping the pro-
duce markets alive at present.
When the new goods arrive, 1t
is openly predicted that trading in
local markets will be unpre-
cedented.

END OF MEDICINE TO COME
WITH WAR OF GERMS

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The fol.
lowing article was written for the
London correspondent of The
Times by DR.. Andrew Wilson, who
is today considered one of Eng
lands leading physicians.
BY DIR. Andrew Wilson.
1t was the fixed belief of the
ancients that many living crea-
lures came into existence sponta-
neously and the beginning of the
germ theory arose out of a ludi-
crously simple observation made
by Redi, Floretine physician,
about the middle of the seven
teenth century. He debated with
his confreres in Florence the ques-
ton of the origin of the maggots
appearing In decomposing meat.
The old view held, of course, that
the maggots originated within
dead and putrefying substances.
Redi, taking a piece of meat, COW
cred the mouth of the jar in which
1t was contained with a piece of
fine gauze. He beheld the flesh
flies attracted by the decaying
meat coming to deposit their
eggs, after the manner of their
kind, in the decomposing sub
stance. The gauze, however. kept
them from affecting this natural
object, with the result that the
eggs were laid on the subject of
the gauze, and the maggots there
Matched out, whilst the decay of
the meat went on uninterruptedly,
without single maggot appearing
in its substance.
So the principle became fixed
In time that every germ born into
the world is the child and off
spring of living organism.
Turning to another feature OF
this wonderful romance of medi-
cine in relation to the discoveries
which have been made regarding
germ life, we find an illustration
OF very strange, and at the same
time skillfully wrought out
scheme on the part OF mankind
In making germ life contend
against itself by what is known
as the "antitox.n treatment.
Taking such disease as diph-
liberia, for example, it is found
that by inoculating a horse with
pure cultures of diphtheria germs
there is developed in the blood OF
1.-THE animal in due time certain
principles to which the name OF
antitoxins is applied. These sub.
stances are to direct result of the
germs breeding and multiplying In
the blood of the animal, the blood
acting In this case as a soil to the
germs viewed as seeds. II now

BILL
HAS FAIR
SHOW
(Times Special Service.)

OLYMPIA, Feb. 4.-Much to
the establishment of all concerned
the woman's suffrage bill was ac-
corded a reception in the senate
in accordance with the Difference
due the lobby of fair, or determ-
ined women. The motion to In
definitely postpone the measure
was voted down. The attempt to
kill the measure was made by Sem
ateor Williams of King county,
and was Immediately protested by
Senator Piper. Senator Cotterill
then moved for a reference to the
committee on constitutional re-
vision and here the opponents of
the measure took their final stand,
losing out % to 10.
The committee on constitution
al revision stands four to four
on the subject with the chairman,
Harry Rosenhaupt of Spokane, in
favor of woman suffrage.
The bill will come out of this
committee with q favorable
recommendation, and IL the suf-
fragists can hold together the SEN
ators who voted for them on the
first trial they will win their fight
to have the question submitted to
the people.

MEMORY OF OFFICER
IS THE UNDOING OF
ELLENSBURG FUGITIVE

John Fitzgerald, chief of the
Tacoma detectives, has a remark
able memory. Six months ago
the grizzled detective received a
description of man named c. w.
Sickles, wanted in Ellensburg on a
charge of embezzlement. The
description told of a blemish on
the fugitive's cheek.
Last evening as "Fitz" was
walking along Pacific avenue, he
noticed bartender forcibly eject
Ing a man from saloon who had
made himself obnoxious by try
ing to fight everyone.
The mans face made an impress
sion on the officers mind, and he
locked him up. Within ten min
utes Fitzgerald had dug up the
description of Sickles, and the ar
rested man confessed that he was
the guilty party. The Ellensburg
sheriff arrived today and took
6ickles home with him.

been braves in other days, made

A whole field of romance opens
before our eyes when we contem-

each capable of combating its
own disease on very satisfactory
terms indeed, when the fate of the

Further charging the vista of
the romance of medicine beyond
the points within which our feet
tread with fairly firm step today,
we might perchance forecast
time when through some definite
discovery the processes of healing
in the body might be highly expe-
dited. We know for certain, for
example, that in the wonderful
