about the middle of June the errtdermlf on I

leot bt-clns to loosen and harden, while tbt

Ilusklrk It 82 years old, a modest man and
by no meant, disposed to brae of a function
not enjoyed lt common with the rent of
mankind. Tbe fact that providence bat teen
t.l to supply him free of eharpe with a new
union tult every twelve months be reparfl
at interesting but a matter not to be dls
russed freely with a chance acquaintance nor
iocs be attempt to inquire ar. to tbe why and
vherefore of this bit of favoritism. He It
not one to crouch with vulgar eye at tbe
keybolt of na'ure't workshop, endeavoring
to rtcal tbe aocrott of her trade. However.
In tb lntrrertt of science be har spvcral
timet permitted physicians to examine him
tnd wat gratified to learn tbat they eould
make nothing of hie case. They found out
That he already knew that he sheds
his tkln once a year and there the'lr re
search ended.
Within the last week Busktrk hat under
gone the phenomenon of desquamation and
at a result lt taking an enforced vacation,
as hit hands, are so tender that the ute
of ordinary gardening tools would caut
tbem to Weed Otherwise tbe passing of
nature'r integument has caused him no In
ronvrnlence. Relle of rnrmrr Perllnc.
In a valise In his room Ihiskirk has sev
eral interesting souvenirs In the form of
patches of skin whlcb he has shed from
his hands and feet at various times during
his career and In every instance these pre
sent perfect outlines of the members from
which ther cune. For example, tbe "bark"
from the palm of tbe hand might easily be
mistaken at first glance for one-half if a
glove, aa the fingers and thumb are as
perfect "reproduc.tlont" of the digits as It
possible in a flat surface. Moreover, the
thick, callous-like tkln retains tie mysteri
ous lines of the hand of which palmists
make so much.
In this connection there is in the Bus
kirk case a fact whlcb tends to disprove tbe
entire theory of paJmistry. being evidence
that tb lines of the hands change with
time and are not unalterably preserved, as
lias been supposed Among his gruesome
keepsakes is a piece of skin taken from
his right" hand when he was Id years old.
It lt observed that while the general con
formation of the lines corresponds with that
of his right hand as it is today, still the
.. .
day, sUll the
Growth
Individual lines ate longer no
even after making allowance for the growth
of the member as a whole Fully a third
has been added to tbe length of the famous
"life" line. H is lis if destiny had Intended
him originally to be of brief existence In
this Tale of tears and had later changed bur
mind and concluded to endow him with the
boon of longevity.
Jiovr He Frrl About It.
"The first sign I get that I'm about to
shed my skin."' said Busklrk. "is the hard
ening of the skin on the Inside of my hands.
This always starts at the roots of the lin
gers, gradually spreading In all directions.
Then this hardened skin begins to pufi up
and break away from tbe new skin that Is
forming underneath and If 1 tap it with a
lnadpencll at such times lt gives off a sharp
sound like striking a piece of celluloid or
stiff leather Finally, by opening and clos
ing my hands often, the skin parts along tbe
edges and then, by helping along tbe pro
cess with a pocketknlfe, the piece comes off
whole.
"Four yearr ago I went to New York and
for two weeks was In a hospital, where 1
was examined by a dozen or more noted
physicians and Burgeons who had heard of
my case. They didn't try to 'cure' me- 1
didn't want to be 'cured.' In fact 1 wouldn't
have gone at all if they hudn't paid my ex
penses "
Busklrk was born in Missouri thirty-two
years ago of American parents and is one of
a family of three children. He It the only
member of the household who sheds his
skin.
The killing of Mrs. Christiansen at tbe
Morrill crossing In Albright by a Missouri
Pacillc train has called attention to the vio
lation of ordinance No K7. which was passed
by tbe city council on September 4. 1FSS. reg
ulating tbe speed of trutnt inside tbe city
limits. According to thlt ordinance, trclne
are prohibited from running at a speed
gteater than ten mlles an hour inside of the
corporate limits. This ordinance It virtually
a dead letter us no attempt has been made
to enforce it for a number of years
When the coroner's Jury censured the Mis
souri Pacific Railroad company for tbe death
of Mrs. Chrtstlanson and mentioned the lict
that tbe train was running at too htgh a rate
of rpeed attention wat called to the ordi
nance. Attorneys for tbe railroad company
visited tbe city offices yesterday and looked
over tbe records for the purpose of making a
ropy of tbe ordinance in question. Thlt ac
tion on tbe part of the railroad lawyers
brought tbe mutter to the attention of the
municipal authorities und it lt likely that
an attempt will be made to enforce this law
In order to protect lives At present tralnt
on tbe Vnion Pacific cross seven streets at
grade within tbe city limits and at only a
few of these are watchmen maintained. The
Mlssorrl Pacific enters tbe city over tbe
Vnlon Pacific tracks, at does also the Rock
Island. Not a single train on the Rock
Island Ftops In South Omaha and it is as
serted by railroad men that passentcr tralnt
on this line run through here at tbe rate of
from thtrty-flve to forty miles no hour
A fine of J100 and costs lt provided for a
violation of the ordinance und some ot these
Cays a train running beyond the speed limit
may be stopped and the crew taken to Jail
Several times In the past the railroad com
panies have been notified to decrease speed
while running through the city, but after a
few days tbe order has been forgotten and
the old-time speed is resumed.

ing with reference to an alleged plot to
assassinate President McKlnley and also at
to the part which 1 am supjioaed to have
taken in the matter 1 have nothing to say
upon be subject except that 1 have made
an investigation which I started with he
state committee detective on tbe line of
what I supposed to be political informa
tion, and 1 discovered elthel a crank or a
Baron Munchausen, and on the principle
that an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, it 1s p rotable that my report
to Secretary Dick it the cause lor the extra
care now being taken of the president. I
have nothing further to nay upon this sub
Jest exceipt that I regret tbat some one hat
been discreet enough to mako of a trifling
matter the gigantic plot exposed in the
papers."

Every day adds to the list of deaths

each organ of the body well nourished,
is the man who u least liable to collapse

vital organ.
The preservation of health which fol
lows the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, ts chiefly due to the
fact that it perfrctly and permanently
cures diiieases of the stomach and organs
of digestion and nutrition, purifies the
blood and increases the blood supply of
the tody. Weak people will find in this
medicine a sure means of strength.
