Friction

Friction
WHAT is friction really caused by? Why
will two things in contact not slip over
each other easily? 1t is because every sub
stance known to science has teeth; microscopic
it is true, but still teeth. The result then is OBJ
vious. If we shove book across table, the
teeth of the book interlock with the teeth of
the table just as cogwheels do. and the push
has to be strong enough either to bend them
enough or to break them off for the motion to
continue.
1t has actually been observed in a micro
scope. though only recently. that if the push is
only slight one and moves the book only a
short distance, on the pressure of the hand be-
ing removed the book actually Jumps back to
its former position. This action is slight
bending of the two sets of teeth. only not far
enough for them to lose their relative positions,
and their elasticity on being released makes the
book fly back.
1t has been shown that this friction is not so
much between different bodies as between
bodies of the same material. One industrial
application of this is the bearings for steel
axles. They made of brass instead of steel.
In some things we want as much friction
possible and in others as little. The former is
illustrated in the friction between an engine
wheel and the track. sand sometimes being
poured on the track to increase the friction.
The latter case is illustrated in all bearings
where rotating metal is in contact with station
airy metal sometimes ball bearings being sub
stituted, thus lessening the friction.
Many peculiar things would happen if there
was no friction. All screws in wood would inn
mediately twist backward rapidly and shoot
out into the air. trains could not run save on
cogged rails, which would probably be neces-
sary above we'll as below, thus having four
rails instead of two: buildings would tumble
down, and new ones could not be built unless
nodded in place like Edson's or else riveted
together; people would have to wear shoes
with long spikes in them, and then have to be
careful, for dirt grains would slip over one an
other easily and would act like deep sand. But
one great thing would happen machines would
run at one hundred per cent. efficiency, would
give out as much energy as was put into them

 Tickets.
TO TAKE CARE OF 21,oo0
Utmost Confidence Pr0fessed by Both Gladiat0rs in Outcome of
 the Fight.

Reno, New, June 2S.--Today Reno is awaiting the arrival of Governor Dick erson, who it is understood. is re- turning to Carson City from Ely and Intends to make brief stop here. Just what is the governors purpose in coming to this city has not been stated, but in view of his numerous denials he will interfere in any way with the fight, no one admits it to be connected with the big contest
 Rapid headwav is being made on the arena A force of 175 men is working ten hours day to have it completed next Friday. and so marked was the progress yesterday that the contractors said it would be possible to finish the job by Thursday night.
 The plans call for seating capa- city of about 17,00O, but according to Rickard, heavy orders for tickets from the east, yesterday point to the pos sbility of much larger attendance
  be necessary to enlarge the struc- ture.
 To be prepared for such an emer- gency lumber will be hauled to the site and held in readiness. If ne- cessary another platform will be plac- ed behind the rear top seats provid- fs- i thus bringing the complete capacity of the arena up to 21,o00.
 One of the biggest single orders for tickets yet received was reported last night. Representatives of three towns in the northeastern part of the state and whose combined population figures only 2,OOO made joint applica- tion, it is said, for 1,708 seats. The greatest demand has been for the higher priced reservations.
 Jake Kilrain will arrive here from Boston Friday according to advice re- ceived by John l.. Sullivan, who is impatiently awaiting the coming of  one of the hardest battles in the h1s- tory of the fighting game.
 The utmost confidence in the out come of the contest is professed by the friends and followers of both fighters.
 The Monana Springs crew say that Jeffries is absolutely certain of his. ability to win.
 : Johnson's followers likewise are confident that the heavyweight cham pion will retain his title without diff ficulty. Johnson is in more cheer full mood as the result of his condi- his trainers say.

LOCKED JA|LER IN; :. MADE GETAWAY Bold Attempt at Jail Deliv- v v cry Was Made at
 Paragould.
PURSUED BY A POSSE
Fugitiyes Crowded So Close They Got Only 8 Short Distance Away
 From Jail.

Paragould, June 28.-One of the boldest attempts at jail delivery ever made in Paragould occurred Sunday evening about 7:30 o'clock, when two prisoners, Charles Stephens and Will Downs, knocked Jailer Bob Clark down, locked him in the run-around and made their escape from the jail
 As is his custom when he feeds the prisoners, Jailer Clark ordered the men to their cells. Apparently Steph- ems and Downs pulled their door shut but when Clark started to put their meals down they dashed out and Downs struck him terrific blow on the head. AS Clark fell he swung his heavy bunch of keys, striking Downs across the face and inflicting an ugly wound.
 The prisoners seized the keys, lock- ed the jailer in and dashed out of the jail. Clark yelled for assistance, and his wife quickly came and let him out The alarm was immediately given and within five minutes officers and citi- zens were in hot pursuit of the es- capped men. They were crowded so close that they got only a few blocks from the jail before Downs was cap- tured. ~ Stephens hid in barn and was found in a few minutes.
 Both are now confined in the inner cells without the usual privileges &C., corded prisoners during the extremely hot weather.

BIG NOISE AT
 FAITH, ARKANSAS
When Pine Bluff Umpire Gave Base. ball Game to kedrOn Nine Over Double WelEs-TWe Games
 Were Played.

Faith, Ark, June 2S.-(Special to Graphic) c)-The Faith baseball team defeated the Double Wells team in badly played game of baseball yester- day morning by score of 13 to 4, but like other games it had it's interesting features. The principal one in this game was home run by F. Gaddy, of Faith, which brought in two scores. Batteries: Faith, Ross and c. Gaddy; Double Wells, West and West. Umpire Clay.
 In the afternoon a game was called on the Faith grounds between Ked- ron and Double Wells. This was a very interesting game, with final score of 5 to Q in favor Of Kedron, until the ninth inning, when F. Cad dy led out with a single and was fol- lowed by his brother c. Gaddy with a single. On the play to first base F. Gaddy stole third base and c. Gaddy went to second base. w. West next made single and went to first base. This put three men on bases and no outs. B. West bunted down the : thirl base line. The Kedron boys went up in the air like balloon and threw the ball in all directions, al- lowing the bases to be cleared and bringing the score to and 4. Tha next batter got hit over first base. The Kedron boys thought the decision unfair, however, after they had refus- ed to play the game to finish on ac- count of the decision, Umpire Clay, the twirler from the Sawyer & Austin team of Pine Bluff, used his never failing nerve and forfeited the game to the Double Wells teams by a score of g to O. This caused no little amount of confusion, but all the spec tators heartily endorsed Clay's decis- ion and also his nerve. Batteries Double Wells, Gaddy and Gaddy; Ked- ron, Adams and Peek

MAKING FIGHT
 FOR MILLER Attorneys for Man Sentenc- ed to Hang Ask for Writ of Error in Case.
IT WILL GO HIGHER
Ii Writ is Refused-Imp0rtant Wit. ness Left the State, It
 is Alleged.

Little Rock, Ark, June 2S.--Asso- clate Justice Frauenthal is expected to hand down a decision tomorrow on the petition for a writ of error in the case of c. M. Miller, by which an ap- peal may be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States Clyde Going, attorney for Miller, came over from Harrisburg yesterday morning and presented the case to the Asso- ciate Justice who rendered the opin- ion which affirmed Miller's death sen tence. Miller was convicted in Poinsett county of murdering A. Flood an old fisherman at Marked Tree and burn ing the most of his body after rob ping it of about $500 He is sen- fenced to hang in July. The petition for writ of error alleges that mat erial witness for Miller left Poinsett county on the Saturday before the trial and went to Memphis, where the defense had no power to bring him back. A petition for continuance was made and overruled It is this action of the circuit judge which forms the basis for Federal aues- tion.
 It is alleged that the laws of Ark ansas, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, permit circuit judge to ar bltrarily refuse to grant continu- ance, no matter how great the pro- vocation for one, and in this case that it violated the overworked Section 14 of the Constitution of the United States. which prohibits the taking from a man his liberty without due process of law. Another Federal question involved is that ill all crim- lnal trials the defense is guaranteed mandatory power to produce witness ses, which section failed in the Mill Ter case as the state could not bring the desired witness back from Mem- phis. Should Associate Justice Frau enthal decline to issue the writ of er- TOT the case will be taken immedi- ately to the Supreme Court of the United States and an effort to secure writ of error made there. Clyde Going, who is member of the next legislature, states under no considera- tion will he be candidate for speak CT of the house, and that every leg islator he has met from that section of the state is supporting R. F. Mil wee for speaker. Mr. Going was for some time spoken of as one of the
 strongest possibilities for the speak. ership.

Sl60,000 DEAL
 MADE HERE Brother in Law of Ben J. Altheimer Buys Large Tract of Timber.
P RICE IS $160,oo0
Sale Made by 0. k. Mckenzie and Flu. gene Graham-New Road
 Through Property.

TWenty-three thousand acres of val uaDle timber and cut over lands, lying within four and fifteen miles south west of this city, yesterday changed hands, when Louis Rosenfield, of Chi cago, owner of the Sunnybrook dis tilleries, bought the tract from W. E. Graham and O. E. Mckenzie. The consideration was s160,000 and the money is said to have been paid in cash. MT. Rosenfieli is brother-in- law of Attorney Ben J. Altheimer, for merly of this city, but now Of Chica- go. MT. Rosenfield visited this sec tion several days ago with MT. AL theimer and made personal inspec- tion of the property purchased yes terday. He has great faith in the future of Arkansas and has bought other large land and timber holdings in this and other sections during the past several months. The property was formerly owned by the Frank Kendall Lumber Company andis re- garded as being one of the most valu- able timber tracts in this state.
 The survey of the Memphis. Dallas and Gulf railroad, which is surely coming this way within the next few months, runs through the land pur- chased by MT. Rosenfield. On a nearby tract a local company is at present boring for oil with bright prospects of success.
 It is understood that the land will be colonized immediately and that ar engagements have been made by MT. Rosenfield looking to that end. It is not known whether he will sell the tract to colonization company or undertake colonization with his own organization. But in either event, thrifty Germans will be located.
 This can easily be done on this tract. as it is already interspersed with stock and truck farms of pros
 
 adapted to stock raising and truck farming as we'll as for cotton. corn and grain
 This land lies in the western part of Jefferson county and is recognized by all land men as being one of the best tracts in the state on account of it's location and because of the fact that it is net worked by good wagon roads aud several railroads. An other we'll defined rumor says that Mir. Rcsenfield has already contracted for the sale of the land to party of Chicago fiannciers, who will under take the colonization of same.
 The sale of this property at such a handsome price is another evidence of the fact that Arkansas has awaken ed; that the eyes of the world are being turned on this state.
