The Harmless Lunatic.
(New York Times.


The shocking and causeless tragedy
in St. Georges church yesterday, which
but for the repeated failure of the as
sassin s aim would have been a mas
sacre instead of a murder, calls atten-
ton again TO the folly of permitting
the so-called harmless crank to
wander at large. This man seems to
have been known in several states as
mentally unbalanced, but except in
Virginia it was not thought nccesSarv
for the protection of the community to
keep him behind bars. We have way
of being over tender with the crank.
The fact that he is not responsible for
what he does makes him pitiablc. but
the safety of the community comes
first. Valuable lives out not to be
left at his mercy.
The man doubtless spoke the truth
when he said that anybody else in DIR,
Markoe 5 place would have suffered
the same fate. The impulse to Kill
came suddenly over his clouded brain
and the ''harmless lunatic' developed
into a tiger. All over the country, al
over this city. there are plenty of just
| such potential slayers. lacking only
the impulse at the right moment, but
| likely to feel it at any time. The states
and cities owe it to the harmless ant
worthy lives that may at any time bt
sacrificed to exercise a stricter super
vision over these men. The harmless
crank = is likely to be a paranoiac, an(
| paranoia is disease breeding hat,
and leading to murder. When sucl
| symptoms are once detected the stat
should protect itself and its citizens
and not wait for 4 late and fatal de
J vclOnment

ated with high honors and taught
science in a private school.
In 1893 he began to write, doing
articles for, and later becoming dra-
matte critic of, the Pail Mall Gazette.
He was already interested in social
conditions and an untiring student of
science. These two interests he COM
bined in the series of remances that
opened with THE Time Machine" In
novels and short stories he created
startling fantasies of the future, dis
playing his most abundant invention
in THE War of the Worlds" He often
times discussed future wars in these
stories and his forecasts were amazing
ly like what was seen on the battle
fields of Europe.
In the meantime he had been writing
stories about contemporary life and
books about social conditions These
he turned to more and more with the
years. OF his later novels, bristling
with wit and ideas. those that have
been most widely read and discussed
include "Kipps." "Tono-Bungay," Ann

latest novel. Most popular of all was

HAT 1 marvel at now, when
wv l recall the days when the
Martians were speeding
skies were peopled with incredible
evil, with u~nimaginably repulsive
monsters armed with superhuman
weapons. The catastrophe Things
were hurtling on, %covetous of our
greener and warmer planet, and lovers
wandered through English lanes. with
no thought of the swift and scorch-
ing death above their heads.
Through a telescope, / had watched
n of the colossal squirts of flame
on the rim of the tiny, red planet. 1t
did not occur to me that these case
ous jets accompanied the firing of a
mighty gun that had launched ten
huge cylinders into space. Learning
to ride a bicycle interested me more
than eruptions on Mars. The planet
seemed SO remote. Forty million
miles away!
Ogilvy, the astronomer, found the
first messenger. He had seen 1t fall
ing and supposed it | wandering mete-
orite, but its shape surprised him. 1t
was cylindrical, fully 80 yards across
the exposed face. 1t was So hot that
he could not get ear it. Then, to his
utter amazement, the top began to I'M
screw. There was something in it,
something alive! Not until then did
he link it with the flashes On Mars.
Late that afternoon I saw the Mar

front of the cylinder when the lid fell
off. I peered into 1he black interior
and fancied 1 saw shadows stirring.
Then something like a snake wriggled
into sight. l stood stricken with ter
ror. A round body, about four feet
across, pulled itself painfully to the
opening.
1 had expected to see something
like a man, fantastic perhaps, but
two-legged. This thing was just an
oily, leathery body, legless and arm
less, with a chinless and noseless face.
Two great eyes, dark and luminous,
were mirrors for an extraordinary
brain. The creature painted and
heaved, weighed down by the greater
pull of gravity on earth. An intense
loathing came over nae. Suddenly, the
monster toppled over, into the pit.
Then I ran, madly.
From a distance I watched the Depu-
tation that went out under a white
flag. I saw three flashes of greeniSh
light and darts of fire leaped from one
to another of the little figures. Even
as / saw them touched with death,
[ did not realize what was happening.

The Famous Augusta to Reopen

OO0 Add that to the $1120OOO and you $336OOOO
Granting that every ton of cost to produce trans
mill $50 which it is not likely to do
by gross mismanagement that would be 100000
Take that from the product and have
left product of 100000 These figures look pretty
bg then them in two and in round numbers have
million at depth of only only little
of the 1900 feet explored One advantage of
Augusta that it has paid developing from
the the only outlay the have been to- be-
other than the original purchase prospect,
the payment of the tramway
On September 49, 1888, Gen. F. J. Marshall, George D..
Roberts, John R. Murphy, three of widely known
operators the country at that date met
by appointment with O. A. eager and W. Ross for
the purpose of discussing the erection of fifty tom
day capacity concentator. Such mill absolutely
necessary because the had dump of low grade
of years of work. besides the mine had
developed in such that miners could into
the main and stope from above for 400 500 feet
in depth and 100 feet in length fifty and possibly
hundred tons per day for time to 1t the
strip the tunnel level up the
surface and the down the tramway and by the
year have the tunel driven the then
the terminal of the tramway four five hundred
feet to it, thus practically abandoning the upper tunnel
and shortening the tramway which done some time
later. These plans carried out later and
slide carried the mill away.
During the year 1885 the Augusta produced to
the of $4,000 and that too at great disadvantage
as all the had to be packed about five miles bur-
and the company at the same time engaged in
constructing tramway from the mine to Pittsburg.
This work interrupted by storm when
almost completed, and they had relied upon its
pleton get winter supplies to the mine they had to
close down.
Our files show that for the ending December 81,
1884, the Augusta shipped $50 of value
of $4,000.
The Excelsior mine in the locality is also a
property of which may we'll be proud. 1t worked
lease during the 1885 and shipped to the
of $4,000 What would the amount of ore be
worth today the price of metals? This mine
well the Augusta will make record day which
will be a credit to this section
We convinced that the Augusta is of the very
best in this if worked this its
full capacity will not only convictions but will
vindicate the reputation of the Elk Mountains
field of almost incomprehensible mineral wealth
Gunnson county has many other mines that doubt
will prove equally good when developed. and the sue
cessful development of the Augusta should be ncen-
tive for others to push development their properties
