There was an auto race for the Van
derbilt cup on Long Island last Saturday.
and the news dispatch telling OF it said
that never was a road race so viclousy
contested" as this one. And there was
the all too frequent accompaniment of
death and serious injury, two mechanl-
clans being killed and several contestants
badly hurt. In addition to this the. New
York manager OF the Pope Hartford Au-
tomobile company was, killed, and fiye
Others with him hurt. by the wreeking OF
his machine while ON the way to the
racing grounds.
The plant OF the Los Angeles Times
was dynamited on Saturday afternoon,
the premises being wrecked, with a prop
erty loss of half a, million. and the sacri-
fee of some 20 lives. The event is the
more startling because Of suspicion that
it was the result of long-continued labor
troubles; strength is given this suspicion
by the fact that the management of the
paper had received several letters threat
ening the plant with destruction. The
Times had opposed trades-unionism unre-
lentinely.
The 37th annual reunion OF the Sth
Vermont regimental association will be
held at Randolph, Wednesday, the 18th.
This will be the 46th anniversary of the

regiment lost many in killed and wounded.
Dinner at noon will be followed by
business session. after which, at 3 O'Clock.
the comrades will visit the birthplace of
their former commander. Col. Stephen
Thomas, where it is proposed 10 erect
marker or tablet. The campfire in Chand-
Ter music hall viii be lighted at i.30 ?. m.
Governor Mead and members of the legis-
lature are expected to be present.

REVENGE MOTIVE
| FOR THE MURDERS
Fingerprints Are to Be Used to
Identify Slayers of Four
Persons

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 11.-Revenge
and not robbery is believed to have
been the motive of the murder of four
persons on the Bernhard farm in Kan
sas. The bodies discovered Yesterday
were examined closely today. and it
was found that Emeline Bernhard and
her son, George, had been terribly
beaten on the head, while Tom Morgan
and the hired man. who was today iden-
titled as James Graves of Oregon. had
evidently been killed by one or two
blows.
The first step will be to locate six
men, all of whom recently have worked
at the Bernhard farm. When these are
found the imprints of their left hand
will be taken and compared with bloody
finger prints found on the white wall
of closet in which Mrs. Bernhard is
believed to have been murdered.
Another search was made of the
house today and a strong box. in which
valuable papers and money had been
placed, was found. In this box a deed
conveying all of Mrs. Bernhard's prop
erty to her son, George, was found.
From this the officers believe she in
tended to leave all her property to him
and cut off her other children.

REST is ESSENTIAL To
CURE OF SCIATICA
Hot Lead and Opium Fomenta-
tons Are Used

In the most acute cases of sciatica
rest IN bed is essential and the ex-
ternaI. applications that are most ike-
ly 10 De OF benefit are for the most
part local applications of either heat
or cold. Hot poultices are an old and
useful remedy, and so also is hot iron
ing over brown paper that has been
STEPPED in vinegar and water.
Hot lead and opium fomentations
are also good, says a writer in the
Hospital. and they seem to act in con
sequence of the small amount of opium
they contain rather more favorablv
than do hot lamentations eontainine .
no opium. Some observers apply cold
by means of ice poultices or by .
spray of methyl chloride along the
course of the nerve, and some like
to use alternate applications of cold
and of heat, the essential thing being
to vary the circulation in the part.
1t is on account of their influence
on the circulation that the more mod
ern forms of heat application by means
of radiant electric heat baths fanro-
packs. and hot sand baths are some
times used instead of the older fash
ioned but equally beneficial methods
Plasters and acupuncture act in much
the same way also, but their effects
are transient, and therefore, although
they may be resorted to at some stage
or another in the treatment of sciatica
1t is unlikely that they will be per-
sisted with, because it is not easy
to continue with the plasters or acu-
puncture very often.

KITE CAMERA TO BE

Frenchman Invents a Device
Which Does Excellent Work

A device has been invented by Cap
tain Saconey OF the engineer corps of
the French army, by which plans of a
fortress may be obtained through use
of a camera attached to kite. Photo
graphs have been taken from kites for
some time past. without great precision
and securing only uncertain results.
but Captain Saconey's apparatus has
accomplished surprising things. The
camera is Is by "a inches. and is sus-
pended from a series Of box kites. II
is sent up TO heights varying from 800
to 1900 feet, and is controlled by
cords. 1t takes a picture of town or

various buildings, and the engineers
then construct the ground plans by
combining the known angles and dis
tances with the photograph.

TRADE IN HUMAN HAIR is
NO INFANT INDUSTRY
Much of 1t Comes From Heads
of Chinese

The market in human hair is sub
ject that has recently been engaging
the attention of textile journals in
Great Britain, writes Consul Augustus
z. Ingram at Bradford, Eng.
The supply of this article is un-
doubtedly much larger than is gen
orally supposed; indeed, one textile
manufactures in Bradford stated that
he could purchase 40 tons of 1t when
ever he wished.
Wig makers and ladies' hairdressers
are the principal users, especially al
the present time when the prevailing
fashion is for ladies to wear extensive
coiffures.
The bulk of the human hair used
for this purpose probably comes from
the continent, Bohemia being an espe-
cially productive district, but large
quantities are also received from
China The Chinese hair is usually in
tensely black, and as its color de-
tracts from the value, 1T is bleached
with hydrogen peroxide. The hair is
then sorted according to its length
and grade, and dyed and finished in
whatever shade desired
