EDISON HINTS AT NEW FORCE.
Successor to Electricity Probable, the
Inventor Says.

East Orange. n. j., June Thomas
A. Edison, the electrical wizard, has
suggested the possibilities of the dis
covery and development of a new pow
err, another method of agitating the
atoms or molecules besides the thing
we call electricity" as he said. But
in the meantime, he declared that
the scope of electricity as a motive
power is gradually widening and being
better realized.
What the new power may be the
great inventor did not undertake to
say. Its discovery, as he suggested,
will likely be by accident, probably
through one of the five human senses,
as radium and the X-ray were found
through the sense of light.
While Edison discussed a new force
other than electricity merely as pos
sibility, he discusses it in most in
teresting manner.
II took dinner on one occasion with
an eminent professor of the University
of Berlin" he said, land moved my
forefinger at him and asked him what
made 1t move. He couldn't tell. There
is one form of motion that we do not
comprehend. So it Is there may be
discovered a new power which we can
convert into use, but l cannot say

Had Escaped From Hospital.

Great excitement prevailed on Nor
folk avenue last night when a large
number of citizens engaged in a man
hunt. George Gray, an escaped pa
tient from the insane hospital, was
the object of the chase. He was seen
coming up Norfolk avenue clothed in
blue overalls, shirt and a SLOUGH cap
and was Immediately mistaken for the
escaped insane man from Stanton for
whose capture 800 reward is offered.
His discoverer followed him to the
Pacific hotel, where the man remained
for short time, and later went to
sleep in the Engelman building, which
is under construction. A large crowd
cOngregated there and Night Patrol
man O'Brien took charge of the man
and placed him behind the bars in the
city bastile.
Here many of those who claimed to
have seen him first kept the officer
busy with their statements as to how
they saw him first and should get the
reward. The hospital was notified and
attendants were sent to take charge of
the patient who, it was found, had,
with the aid of bed sheets climbed
from an upper story bedroom to the
ground and made his way to the city.
He had made a rope of the sheets.
A delegation of the hunters called
on Officer O'Brien this morning and
demanded that they be given the re,
ward. SsTs

Sell Like Hot Cakes.

Dallas, s. d., June Special to
The News; The lot sale at Carter
was one Of the best ever conducted
on any townsite in Dakota. A crowd
of about 500 were on hand when Auc.
tioneer A. r. Kull opened the sale.
The crowd was astonished ut the won
derful progress Carter has made and
the tremendous activity in building, at
this time more than dozen large
buildings being in course of construc-
ton. Bidding was active from the
start and about $4,000 worth of lots
were sold at auction and the sale of
lots at private sale is in active pro-
gress. The buyers were largely from
Dallas, Gregory and nearby towns but
some were from as far east as ILL
nois and as far south as Kansas. The
sales will be held at Jordan today and
at Winner Thursday.

start Paving About August I.

The paving of Norfolk avenue will
probably begin about August /. Bids
must be advertised for during pc.
riod of three weeks and II is said to
be customary for paving contractors
to require about month to get ma
terial on the ground.
Allowing three weeks from next
Monday-the council meeting night
for the bid advertising, and then a
month for getting material on the
ground, brings the beginning of the
paving to about August l. 1t will prob
ably not require many weeks to finish
up the job and Norfolk avenue ought
to be all finished up considerably be-
fore October |.

In the whole Of the earth's scenery. No

upon one with force and power as
though nothing had ever before been

Two Norfolk men, whose names are

women who advertise in matrimonial
papers for husbands. One Norfolk
man has sent as high as four install

who has been stalling him off with
many excuses to send more money to
enable her to reach Norfolk when they

is said to live in Iowa, and when first
written to by the Norfolk man with
matrimonial intentions, she said she
was living with her mother and would
have to have some money before she
could come to the arms that awaited
her. The next heard from she was in
