CINcE July 15 New Yorl1's police de- partment has been under fire. On N~ that date a gambler Herman Ros- enthal about to divulge to the district attorney the relations between the gam bling fraternity and the police, was killed. For his murder a police lieutenant and four hired assassinsl have been convicte9'
 As direct result of the murder the New York board of aldermen appointed com mittee to conduct an inquiry into the po- lice department. Starting at time when the daily papers were filled with stories of yearly graft amounting to millions or dollars and with statements that Becker was only cog in the wheel and an un- derling of men higher up in the "sys- tenn it would have been natural Tor an investigating committee to turn its at tention almost wholly to the hunt TOT graft and grafters. The only reference to graft is in the testimony of the mayor who, in explaining certain policies of his administration, stated that he had out lined these policies with the idea or de- creasing or eliminating graft.
 To what, then, has the committee given it's attention?
 At the first hearing the mayor was questioned concerning policies of police administration for which he was respon- sible, and the methods he had used to as- ee4aain how successfully the policies had operated and what results had been &C.,

Thunderstorms and AerOlitcs
From Hampers Weekly.

r lpiii Ildl Pti . W tfhiS.
 | It was not until the eighteenth century that science was convinced that stones
 and metals fall from outer space. The
 British museum has now a collection of
 more than 550 meteors the fall of more
 than half of which was observed by au-
 thentic witnesses.
 | Meteorites are composed of various
 minerals; an aerolite is of stone forma- tion. The minerals most frequently found
 are iron, nickel. magnesium, calcium. | silicon. aluminium, and phosphorus; there
 are also copper, cobalt. antmony, ehro-
 nium, manganese, tin, sodium. and vana- dium. Occasionally there are traces of l gold, silver, platinum and lead No ele-
 ment unknown to our earth has been dis covered.
 | Previous to such scientific acceptance, | it was a popular belief that thunderstorms are sometimes accompanied by the fall 1 of stones. This belief prevailed especially | in Scotland. Science dsproved this to it's 1 own satisfaction, but not to the entire peasantry of some countrysides. The me teors are not the so-called thunderstones. The latter. as found in the British Isles, were proven to be of two sorts: first. pre- historic stone implements; second, belem- mite. which is a contribution of geology from the prehistoric cuttlefsh. Belcmnites are as long as F inches, tapering like
 a spear head; and, by the way, the Greek
 "Belemnon" means a dart or javelin. Scottish folklore has given various names to these curious objects-viz., thunder stones. elf shots, devil fingers, and bot stones.
 Having no record of their Stone Age ancestors, some of the country folk attri-
 buted the flint arrow heads to magical
 workshops of contemporary activity In~ decd, there was no lack Of testimony to
 the effect that a wanderer from fairy land had cast the missile. Some persons went so far as to claim themselves victims of such elfish marxmanshp, averriug that they had found the Hints in their clothing after feeling a slight shock. There was no wound because these elf shots caused internal mischief without injury to the skin. Elaborate incantations were rected for the relief of the sufferer. Flint is the material from which the prehistoric war rior fashioned many of his weapons. As that fact was considered circumsiantial evidence of their having fallen during lightning storm

SIGHT WORTH SEEING
AT BARNES CIRCUS

There are few people in the United
States who have not, at some time or
other, attended some big circus, watch
ing act after act. until the big troup
of seals come out, then eberybody sits
Il and takes notice." These animals
from the northern sea are very intelli-
gent and learn very quickly any and all
tricks they are called upon to perform.
How many patrons Of the circum ever
get close enough to study this denizen
fthe deep and to know its real being ?
Very few.
AL G. Barnes has secured a troup of
these animals for exhibition purposes,
and has SO arranged the place of ex-
hbition that one can put their hands on
their heads. Capt. Chas. S. McFadden
of Cape Nome, Alasak (for many years
overseer on the U. S. government REIN
deer farm at that point), gives a very
interesting lecture, explaining the hab-
its and traits of the seals.
1t must be remembered that seal
cannot live in fresh water and sea salt
and sea water must be had in great
quantities or they will live but few
weeks. They must also have fish that
are natives of the northern waters. or
none at all, and, consequently, one can
realize as they look upon these animals
that they are seeing something out of
the ordinary.
This is only one of the special fea-
lures presented in the Al. G. Barnes
Shows that will exhibit in Bismarck on

man, was sent in canoe across a

went to the river. where he found the
two padding each in an opposite direc-

element and quite unable to hear the
advice Of the men across the river. who
were bawling directions to them how
to manage their canoe.

The Perfect Laxative
for Elderly People

Age has it's attractions no less than
youth il a more serene and quieter
life. But it is this very life of rest
without sufficient exercise that brings
with it those disorders that arise
from inactivity. Chief of these are a
chronic, persistent constipation.
Most elderly people are troubled in
this way, with accompanying symp-
toms of belching, drowsiness after
eating headaches nd general lassi-
tude. Frequently there is difficulty
of digesting even light food. Much
mental trouble ensues, as it is hard
to find suitable remedy. First of all
the advice may be given that elderly
people should not use salts, cathartic
pills or powders, waters or any CT the
more violent purgatives. What they
need, women as we'll as men, is a mild
laxative tonic, one that is pleasant to
take and yet acts without gripping.

quirements, and has in addition tonic
