TuompsOX. People are now attracting atten tion to themselves by going to tho world's fair by all methods of trans portation. Some go on horseback, some on muleback, some on bicycles, some walk and we may expect soon to hear of balloon expeditions to Chicago. But the good, old-fash ioned palace car method still con tinues the easiest way to get to the fair. Tiie czar of Russia professes to be very much obliged for that extradi tion treaty. Nevertheless no refugee, will ever be sent back to the tender mercies of St. Petersburg under any trumped up charges of attempted assassination. The people mean to have theirs emphatic veto, if it over comes to an actual revival in praotlce of the methods of fugitive slave law times in our courts. Tiie reported invention of a new gun in France which can pierce the thickest armor plate is another indi cation that the rivalry between the offensive and the defensive in warfaro is not to end until wo reach tho interesting possibility of being able to hurl an irresistible force against an immovable and impenetrable body. Then, porhap3, tho universal peace societies may disband. One of the unfailing ways to work the normal temperature of the body up to the melting point in this kind of an atmosphere is to think about, talk about and fret about tho weather. Ask every man you meet if it is hot enough for him, and then smile over your original wit Tho effort at smiling at such a remark ought to cause enough friction to raiso tho temperature a half dozen degrees. To the bright country lad who wants to rise in the world, tho only avenue of progress seems to be a good education. The groat men of his community are the doctors, the lawyers and the ministers — all probably college-bred, or at least with a degree of culture obviously above that of their neighbors. If this country boy ha3 a soul above the gatherings at the village corner store, he finds no use for his time but in reading such books as his surroundings afford. During the summer the American boundary commission proposes to establish definitely tho lino of demar kation between Alaska and the ad joining Canadian territory—an im portant work that has been too long, neglected. Valuable mineral deposits lie within the disputed territory near the head waters of the Yukon river, and these cannot be developed until the boundary line shall have been definitely established. It is worthy of note that, a3 far as possible, the photographic method of survey will be employed by the party assigned to the inland work. Attaching an electric motor to the bicycle so as to save human muscle Is the latest novelty proposed. It would do away with the objection of the Irishman to this mode of locomo tion, that ho had “as leif walk afut as to ride afut.” But to would-bo purchasers of bicycles tho improve ment most needed is a great reduc tion in price. Considering the ma terial in them, bicycles cost more than almost any other vohicle. There is competition in carriage making that" has brought down the price. It is time that competition among bicycle manufacturers did as much for the wheeL A lady whose husband had been murdered was trying upon the wit* ness stand to tell as much about the affair as lawyers would permit. She described one Incident as having oc cupied a quarter of a second of time. The lawyer demonstrated that it must have occupied four seconds, and then a halo of triumph might have been observed hanging fondly to the bulge of his brow. Supposing the lady hpd said “a jiffy,” or “an instant,” or “a little while;” she would doubtless have meant exactly what she wished to convey when she said a quarter of a second. Women whose husbands are murdered can hardly be expected to hold a stop watch during tho episode. “Lucky” Baldwin, the man who own3 tho $10,030,003 ranch in Cali fornia and counts his herds on 50,000 acres, has a more certain empire than has Emporor William of Germany, and probably would not exchange places with the latter on an even trade. The American youth begins to learn his Latin grammar when he is in his thirteenth year, the French boy begins three years sooner, and all because the Frenchman's three R’s are easier to master. HANG OK BURN HIM. BRUTAL MURDERER OF GIRLS 'WILL BE LYNCHED. •apposed Slayer of tho Bay Girls Near Wtokllffe, Kt.. Captured—Now Being Takea Bank and on His Arrival He Will Bs Burned at tho Miaka. Cairo, 111., July 8.—Excitement ha a boon running1 high in this city as well as in Kentucky sver since the foul murder of the two Kay girls at Wick liffp Wednesday morning. A party o,f 200armed men scoured the forest across the river until broad daylight and once or twice seemed hard upon Itt trail of the fiend. A reward of 91,000 wnt offered by citizen* for hi* capture, but even that could not in crease tlie zeal of those tvlio had started out for the purpose of hunting him down. Hut Iheir efforts were without avail, and they did not learn their mistake until yesterday. Lust night a man answering the de scription of tho one found in Iho corn field yesterday appeared on the banks of tlio Mississippi river five miles be low Wickliffe und paid a fisherman to take him across to tho other side. The fisherman knew nothing of the crime and suspected nothing. Half an hour later two • armed men rode up and camped on the river bank ail uiglit, but did not disclose the object of their presence. Early yesterday they con fided in tho fisherman, who gave' them it description of the man he had ferried across, but it was too late. Word was sent throughout the country and the search was trans ferred to Missouri, Illnodhounds Were secured from the JBcdyville peniten tiury, a steamer took the men across and they were Boon upon the human hyena. He was raptured st noon yesterday in a bo* car nt Sikaston Mo., twenty-eight miles south of this city. The man ia a light-colored mu 1 'tto and give his name as C IVilson. His clothing was bloody nnd had been purposely smeared with dirt. lie had upon his person a bloody razor and two rings, which bad belonged to Mary Kay, .the elder of the murdered girls. lie was not captured until after a desperate struggle. Word was at once dispatched to this city. A special train was chartered by a party st Wieliliffo to go after the murderer. It loft here at onco and will return in a few hours, when the negro will be taken back to the scene of his crime to meet, his fate. The populace tit Wieltliffe is greatly aroused and there are bold threats of burning him'at the stake. Two steamers have been chart ered to carry crowds from here, and more than a thousand people w.ll be present to see the lynching or burn ing, which ever may be agreed upon. Officials of the Treasury Department Preparing for the Kxtra Session. Washington, July 10.—The Evening Star has this: “While members of con gress and leaders in financial matters are discussing the various plans by which the present situation cun be re lieved the officials of the Treasury de partment are quietly preparing statis tics and histories of financial transac tions for the bonefit of the administra tion to guide it in its own views on this vital subject, in many of the bureaus the chiefs are devoting their spare time to the collection of this information, so that it may be in the hands of the pres ident and Secretary Carlisle at the ear liest. possible moment. “Several plans have been suggested to Secretary Carlisle, and he lias them under consideration. Among them is one which will create considerable of a stir in financ’al circles, as it contem plate s an entire change in the money system of the United States. In short, the plan is to pass a specie resumption act, redeeming all of the various kinds of money now in use in this country', and issuing instead a United States treasury note whose value shall alway s be fixed. “There are at present nine different forms of money in circulation. These are gold coin, standard silver dollars, subsidiary silver, gold certificates, treasury notes of the act of July 14, 18‘.i0, United States treasury notes, cur rency certificates and national bank notes. “The fact of the wide difference be tween the value of gold and silver coins, while they are theoretically of a I parity, is one of the causes which .sug gested the plan proposed. The plan under consideration is to redeem all the present paper currency, just as the fractional currency was by the Sher man act of 1875, and instead issue what shall be known as the United States treasury note. It shall be redeemed in ‘coin,’ but Id the act the definition of this word is to be plainly stated. The Bank of France has a law in whieh not^s are redeemed paatly in gold and partly in silver, and such a method has been suggested for this country. “In connection with this the advis ability of passing a bill authorizing an issue of notes redeemable in silver at once, has been talked of.” ui MeuuutM, inaaoe. Ottawa. HI., July 8.— Cap*,. Max Haas, of the drug firm of Haas & Tesche, Mendota, and secretary and treasurer of the Mendota Electric Light company, was brought to Otta wa this morniug and declared insane in.the county court, Judge Lincoln ordering him sent to Kankakee. The captain was a man of splendid mental attainments and ability, but about six months ago he was attacked by nerv ous troubles, and has since possessed the delusion that he has robbed the light company of many thousand dol lars and that he will be arrested and hanged or burned at the stake. He has frequently attempted to strangle himself. The light company’s books balance perfectly and Haas is a man of large means. Appealed From tlie Decision. Washington, July, 0.—The recent decision of Judge Newman of the Unit ed States court of Georgia, in which the attempt of the Interstate Commerce commission to enforce the long and short haul clause of the interstate com merce act against certain roads operat ing lines in the state of Georgia, was nullified, was something of a surprise to the commissioners. As soon as the full decision of Judge Newman was re ceived the commission took an appeal to the United States court of appeals for that district. It is expected that the court at its October session will prompt ly reverse Judge Newman's judgment Sunday Op*nln| a Vallnro. Ckjcaoo, July la-rTbe attendances at the world's fair yesterday waa very light—so light as to ralso doubt in somo minds as to whether the open Sundays are to prove tho financial boon to tlio fair that was expected. While the ex position officials express satisfaction over the attendance, it is ho secret that concessionaries are greatly disappointed at tho lack of the bristling multitudes that woro fondly anticipated for this period of the fair. As nearly all con cessionaries are compelled to pay 33 per cent of their gross receipts into tho exposition's coffers, they are of course, the first to feel the results of light at tendance. Tho Wellington Catering company and nearly all other catering and restaurant establishments are cut ting down their forces, and tho Iligea Water company, tho most enterprising Institution cm tho grounds, has made radical reductions in its working force until the attendance shall become such ns to justify tho previous expectations. The regular Sunday services were tho only special attraction at the park to day, and tho now established fact that many exhibits nro entirely closed on .Sundays no doubt workod somewhat lo diminish tho Sunday attendance. The first of tho Michigan Central in dustrial excursions entered tho grounds today. A special train boro about 4.30 employes of the Michigan Central's ear shops of Detroit: All these employes and . their families are furnished vi impasses. it is expo-tod that the benefit that fhey will derive from the unsurpassed exhibition of industrial and decorutive arts at the world's fair will bo highly appreciated by llieso work men and will redound to the interests of tiie company in the improvement of their toehniuui skill, the character of their work anil tlio training of their perceptive and inventive faculties. Commissioner ’ (Jcncral Pnllts-hek Palinfrost, of Austriif, says he is in fa vor of permitting the sale and immedi ate delivery of goods by exhibitors, lie said ho was not ashing more than fiud been granted at previous international exhibitions, noriyorothan was allowed certain American exhibitors at tho present World’s Fair. The latter, as was becoming generally known, he said were selling goods quite openly, and lie has been informed that Ihcguards have been instructed to close their eyes to tho practice, at least so fur as a certain few are concerned. Tho commissioner insisted that it was only right that all exhibitors should Vie put on the same footing. Ho added that it was au un written law, or at leas?a privilege, at all expositions that restrictions against tho sale of articles brought in as exhib its should not bo enforced. The Terrible llavnc at Pomoroy. Pomkkov, la., July 10.—Yesterday was a sad Sunday for pcoplo of Pom eroy. All day long people loaded down with flowers passed down the winding road that leads to tho cemetery, depos iting their perfumed burdens on tho forty odd nude graves where lie all that is mortal of what was last Sunday hap py and prosperous people. The total number of persons killed by tho tornado here and elsewhero is placed at eighty. Hundreds of peoplo poured into the town all day long. They came from every direction and in all manners. Much trouble was ex perienced in handling tho crowds. Tho Fort Dodge cor.ipany of the State guard, which has been on duty since last Fri day, constitute tho sole police force and the members are pretty well tired out There were but forty of them and they were unable to control the hun dreds of sightseers. Ropes were final iv thrown around the ruins. These, with the assistance of guards, kept back somewhat the pushing, jostling mass. The sanitary condition of Pomery was never good, the town being located on a perfectly flat strip. The drainage facilities are miserable. All the sewers are stopped with debris and wreckage and as a result, pools of water formed by tiie recent heavy rains are scattered all over the ground. The further fact that dead animals of every description aro strewn about tho town makes the situation worse. The injured, so the doctors report, arc doing as well as could be expected un der the circumstances, but tho outlook for their recovery is not regarded so fa vorable ns it was yesterday. Then it was thought not more than ton or twelve would die. Hut today it is esti mated that fully twenty-one will bo un able to survive their injuries. There were no more deatiis today, but some are likely to occur before morning. Among those who are very low and for whom little hopes are entertained for their recovery, are Mrs. John Davy and her sister-in-law, Miss Kate Davy; Ray Keefer, a boy; Joseph Demurs, Mike Quinlan, whose wife was killed; Airs. Henry Dike, who lost her husband, and 1. ill in a Spies. These people are hurt in ternally, besides having broken bones. I lie death list was increased today by three. A body of a woman was found under the ruins of a house, together with two of her children, a boy and a girl. * l'cupic wno nave cnarg© oi tilings here are censured because tliey have not made a more thorough search of the ruins. The finding of the three bodies toil ay they point to as pretty good evidence that there are remains of other victims in the wreckage. Many complaints are still made of the work of the human vuftures who commenced operations immediately after the storm and who have kept busy ever since. It is estimated that SMO.Oi/o has been sto len fiom the ruins since Friday. Money is coming from all the towns in the state and ihcre lias been received at headquarters up to G o’clock this evening £9,000. .lust before the storm came up two boys, each about sixteen years of age, hired a boat at the foot of llarrv ave enue. They were about a mile from shore when the squall struck them. At midnight neither the boat nor its occu pants had reached the shore and it ia lusted that the boys were drowned. KKWS NOTES.

Louis Reports Buslnoss Vary Goo*— Incnand Railroad I'aallitte*. ST. Lot’ll, Mo., July 7, 1893.—1Til* financial pioblem Is exciting so much interest throughout tho country that aim st tho first question asked ‘of any city is, ni to how it withstood tho tumbles ol the spring and early sum* ’ nier. St. Louis has every reason to congratulate itself on the result of the first six months' business of the year. The real estate transfers represented a larger total than tor any naif year with tho exception of that endinir June 1NW, widen was by far the best on record. The 1893 total is far In ex cess of thut total of 189; which was ro Sordid ns a temarkably good year. The bank clearings for tho six month* just ended wore the largest on record | mid with Hie exertion of tho June | total each month showed u very large Increase over tho i onesponding month last year, when money wus compara tively easy. Contldenco In quite gen eral la commercial circles and the credit of establishments generally has not been materially impared. The arrangement between the rival bridge c muanies, whereby it may be luude possible to use tno Merchants’ bridge uml its elevated route for ail DHKsenpcr trains entering the city from the East, reserving the tunnel roulo for freight business, appours to lmvo been nearly consummated, and although the details have not yet been made public the presidents of both systems admit thut arrangements liuvo been made. This will lead to tho traffic being expedited very materially, and will certainly be a benefit both to the traveling aud tho freight distrib uting public. Tho increase of traitia tins year, largely in consequence of the travel from the East and South to the World ■ Fair, hua been a matter of general comment, au«l by making full use of both bridges and terminal systems it will le possible to handle the traffic more expeditiously and at less expense. The bridge across the river at Alton Is being pushed forward rapidly and this will give another val uable terminal system und entrance from ihe North. The success of the fast mail train running north has been marked, and it has opened up quite a largo territory whUli, although within two or three hours' distance by rail from St. Louis could not bo conveniently reached from it except by the morning and night trams. Thu travel on the roads running dire: t between St. Louis and Chicago is also remarkable und It is getting quite usual to run these trains in double sections. 'J he question ai extending the city limits has again boon raised. It is nearly eigetecn years lince the city limits were materlally increased ami since then there has grown up a largo number of suburban towns and sue* t o rn witli an aggregate population considerably in excess of 100,0 >0. Bev erul ol the e districts are supplied with electric lights from power plants with in the city and In other ways the tee* tions are becoming ntoru lin'd mors urban every day, resulting in quite is demand for annexation. Almost ths ouly drawback to St. Louis county as a ro-ident section is tho difficulty in obtaining a goo I supply of water, re liance having to be placed lu a large measure on cisterns for supply. The progress on the now city water works has been so rapid that they will soon be in a position to supply water to over a million people and ulrendy applica tions are coming from sections of the county for a supply. There are obvi ous objections to supplying generally dbtricts whose residents do not contri bute to the municipal revenue and thie desire for a water supply is in conse quence increasing tho prospects of an nexation. Canal System of Franca. In France railways have never been permitted to puroliuso and throw out of use or otherwise break down com peting canals. More than 9300,000,000 has been expended by the state for the enlargement and improvement of its inland waterways ivithin the present century. The perfecting of tho vast network of canals and rivers made nav igable has, however, been the work of the present republic, which has spent 9200,000,000 in facilitating by these means tho transport of heavy goods throughout the interior of the country.

O. N. CI.ATTON, N. W. P, Agt., Omaha. Neb, The Pygmies of Iceland. In “Purchas. His Pilgrimage,” a rare old time book, very few copies of which are now in existence, the following ac count is given of the “digmie&s” of Ice land: "There are also Pigmiess or very little men and women here who repre sent the most perfect shape of men, but they are hairy to the utmost joints of the. fingers, the males haring beards down to the knees; but, although they have the shape of'a man. vet they have little sense or understanding, nor dis tinct speech, but make a kind of hiss* ing after the manner of geese.” Cigarettes Invade Penis. It has taken just seventeen years to convert Persia into a nation of cigarette smokers. Before that time cigarettes in the dominions of the shah were un known. all the tobacco smoking being- • by “kalians" or ‘'hubble-bubbles” and chibouks, or. long wooden pipes with, red clay bowls. But it happened .that about 1ST0 somebody introduced from Turkey the variety known as Vcigar ette tobacco" into Ghilan, whence its use has spread. Now, so general is the practice that even the lowest peasant In Persia goes about with a cigarette case and makes bis own “smokos.” Small flsh will nibble at any kind of fcaih
