WANTS NO DEMONSTRATION.


Hot Springs, Ark, April 5.-Wil-
liam j. Bryan, writing from Buenos
Ayres to Chairman Norman E.. Mack
of the national Democratic commit
tee, urges that no demonstration of
any sort be made over his arrival in
New York when he returns from the
South American trip
Anything of the sort would be
misconstrued and misinterpreted," is
the language of Bryan. The letter
was dated February 2S. more than
five weeks ago, and has been delayed
in transmission. Bryan states in the
letter that II had Just been brought
to his attention in the Buenos Ayres
press that arrangements were being
made in New York for a reception
for him.
81 prefer to arrive and go immed-
lately West to my home" is another
quotation.
Mack stated in connection with the
letter that it was a request that
should be regarded. as Bryan was
sincere in the matter and had made
himself as plain as necessary In the
quotations that anything of the sort
would be misconstrued and misin-
terpreted."

HE TELLS WHY
MEAT IS HIGH

Murdo Mackenzie of Trinidad.
Colo, one of the leading cattlemen of
the West, who is interested in the
cattle business in Canada, told the
special committee of the senate which
is investigating food prices, why il
was that prices of fresh meat in
Canada are lower than in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Mackenzie, who is prominent
In the American National Livestock
association, said the Canadians ship
most of their prime beef to England
and keep for their own consumption
meat of inferior quality.
The comparison of prices, there
fore, he told the committee, was be-
tween the best quality of American
fresh meat, with Canadian meats of
poorer quality.
Mr.. Mackenzie owns ranches in
Canada, in the Texan Panhandle, in
South Dakota and in Kansas.
He insisted that the prices of corn
and other feed was largely RESPONSE
Bile for the high price of livestock.
Then he was asked why it was that
range cattle, not fed on corn, were
high priced. To explain this, Mr..
Mackenzie fell back on the law of
supply and demand.
Increased prices of corn, higher
wages we must pay our help and in
creased cost of everything else we
have to use in our business compelled
us to raise the price of cattle" de-
clared Mr.. Mackenzie. He said the
advance in the price began April l,
1909.
He laid some of the responsibility
at the door of the new tariff law.
The committee did not complete
its examination of Mr.. Mackenzie. 1t
will hear him and Judge S. H. Cowan.
attorney for the Texas Cattle Raisers'
association, tomorrow.
Three Texas cattle raisers who
were to appear before the committee
today were taken suddenly and mys-
teriously i'll. The committee got
messages from them from Ell Paso,
saying they had been taken i'll.
The committee will wait until their
health is restored and hear them
then.

TOMBSTONE CRUsHES GIRL.

Galena, Kan, April 5.-While lit
tie Alta Weston, aged Z, was trying
to straighten the tombstone over her
brothers grave in the Empire Gene
terry here yesterday, it fell and crush
ed her to death.
With other children the little girl
went to the cemetery with a quantity
of paper flowers she had made to
decorate the grave of her brother,
Charles, who died several years ago.
The children played around the GEM
etery for several hours and started
home. AS they passed through the
gate Alta looked back.
That stone is not standing up
straight" she said to her companions
I'm go back and fix it."
The shafts foundation had been
loosened by recent rains, and it was
several inches out of the perpendic-
ular, While the children watched
her the child returned to the stone,
which was six feet in height. She
was too short to reach its top, so she
got a stick and tried to push 1t up
right.
Her efforts only served to further
loosen the heavy granite shaft until
1t came crashing down upon her. She
tried to escape, but her foot slipped
and she fell directly in the way of
the stone. Her skull was crushed.

THE FOURTH DIMENSION.

But what is the fourth dimension I?
II is that space which would be form
ed by solid turnedin space, says the
Boston Transcript, quoting from a
new book on the subject. So far as
anybody knows, this has never been
done. A point moving in one direc-
ton in space forms a line; a line
moved sidewise makes plane; a
plane moved broadside forms a cube.
III cube moved out of itself one
length in every direction 1t would
form figure in the fourth dimen-
sion. That there is a fourth dimen-
sion can be proved by mathematics
1t is demonstrable by the analogy of
two-dimensional space and three
dimensional space 1.-THE only kind of
which we have practical knowledge) /.
The world in which we live is a world
of three dimensions. Objects have
length, breadth and thickness. If
the inhabitants of the two-dimension-
al world, beings without thickness,
were to attempt to imprison you in a
two-dimenslonal Jail you could es-
cape simply by stepping over the
walls of your prison, and your two
dimensional jailers would never
realize how you eluded them.
If there is such thing as fourth
dimension 1t would be impossible for
us to incarcerate four-dimensional
criminal. He would step out of his
jail and we would never know how
he escaped A rope knotted in the
middle and fastened to two walls
could be unknotted without detach-
ing it from the walls in the fourth
dimension. A hollow rubber ball
could be turned inside out in the
fourth dimension. A liquid could be
poured into completely inclosed
vessel in the fourth dimension.
What good is the fourth dimen-
sion, anyhow? 1t is mathematical
concept, capable of use in demon
STATIONS, but it can only be repre-
scented by terms. We have algebraic
symbols to represent certain geomet-
rical figures, but none to represent
anything beyond the third dimension,
because we live in a world of length,
breadth and thickness. If there are
four dimensional beings, we could
not see them. They could not come
into our world any more than we
could step into world where objects
! have only length and breadth. but no
| thickness. 1t is unlikely, however,
| that with our limitations of knowl-
edge, we may some day come to I'M
| derstand some of the phenomena of
chemistry-as, for example, two bod
les with the same chemical compost
ton, but with different character
4 istics-by means of the fourth di-
| mension. The fourth dimension has
| a decided intellectual utility, and may
| ultimately lead to our revision of
some present metaphysical concepts.
1t is fascinating study. and the
book in which II is set forth as simply
as is possible for readers who are
not mathematicians is worth reading.
One may derive much pleasure and
profit from this excursion into cur
ious world of which we know moth
ing practically. but the existence of
which is more easily demonstrated
than that universal concept-the
existence of the soul.

Everything is in readiness for
the big banquet OF the Chamber
of Commerce tonight. Margery

The design of the decorations is
very artistic but one which would
have to be viewed to be appreciated
At regular intervals flags are draped
in such manner as to emulate the
American eagle and between each OF
these designs is a second design ex-
tending out from the wall and above
each of these is hung large flag

1t has been found necessary to
make but very little change in the
program for the banquet as announc-
ed in detail some days ago by The
Sentinel. Addresses will be deliver
ed by Gov. John F. Shafroth, Hon.
Plat Rogers. of Denver, Rev. d. d.
Forsyth and Mr.. John l.. Eddy, OF
Grand Junction. Former Attorney
General N. c. Miller is to be the
POSTMASTER. There are to be vocal
musical selections by Edwin A. Sher-
man and Arthur Wake and there are
to be several other delightful fea-
lures.
The guests are to assemble at
Margery Hall at $50 O'Clock. An
informal reception for the governor
will precede the service of the ban
quet.
By having the opening of the ban
quet at an early hour 1t is expected
to avoid holding on until very late
hour.
1t is expected that there will be
between 300 and $50 guests.

WAS ONCE IN INSANE ASYLUM

The Committee on Relief of the Poor
will meet tomorrow night at the City
Home to hear a weird story to be
told by Thomas L. Pulling, formerly
nurse in the City Hospital, and be-
fore that an inmate of an insane
asylum. who alleges that the death of
patient in the city institution was
caused by hypodermic injections of
black Ink, instead of choral solution.
Members of the committee are frank
ly incredulous. But they want to hear
the story. and they want to know why
Pulling was dismissed, and II 1t proves
to be true that he had been twice in
an insane asylum, they want to know
why he was appointed. nurse in the
City Hospital anyway 1t is the reg,
ular meeting of the committee, and
bids will be opened for contracts for
supplying the City Home. If the COM
mittee decides to consider Pulling's
statements seriously. IT will probably

Tells Weird Yarn.
Pulling was until recently head
nurse of the mems ward of the hos
pital. A few days ago he told Chair
story of alleged negligence and mis-
mana cement at, the institution. which.
If true, presents a most serious situa-
ton. Chairman Hobson is inclined
to discount the statements since Pull
ing has recently been discharged for
failure to attend to his duties.
Members of the medical staff of the
City Home Hospital which has been
, selected from among the best known
| physicians of the city. all of whom
| give their services without cpmpensa-
ton, scout the idea that there could
have been any such mistake as the
administering of a hypodermic injec-
ito nof black ink.
From information gathered at the
City Home. 1t seems that seventeen
year-old boy was brought to the hos
pital in the last stages Of typhoid fever.
AS a desperate attempt to rally the
dying man, the physician In charge
ordered strong hypodermic injec-
tion. The fluid was Of dark hue, and
an attendant remarked that 1t looked
like ink"
