"This is a very good day.overhead,"
said a limb of the law to a gentleman on
tho streets yesterday. "Yes!" he replied,
"but we ain't going that way." The
legal luminary has been dimmed with
profound meditation ever since.
The meeting of the Young Men's Re
publican Club last evening wa3 well at
tended. A good deal of enthusiasm was
manifested, and after the most importaut
business had been transacted the meeting
adjourned to meet next Monday evening,
"April 2nd, at 7:30.
A gentleman was promenading the
street the other day with a boy at his
side, when the little fellow cried out:
-Oh pa, there goes an editor!" "Hush,
hush," said the father, "don't make sport
of the poor man, God only knows
what you may come to yet "
Medical men are allowed by law from
ten to fifty dollars for holding a post
mortem by order of a coroner. Wesley
Raker's examination cost $33, juror's
fees, $12; coroner's fees, $10; Sheriffs
fees, $13.40, cost of analysing tho stom
ach, $155, or a total cost to the county
of $220.40.
The lamp-post problem: The post
is ronnd and tapering equally from bot
tom" te top. It is eight (S) feet high, six
(G) inches in diameter at bottom, two (2)
inches in diameter at top. Calling twelve
inches a week, how long would the B. &
M. strike last if it encircled tliat post
eight (8) times from bottom to top.
The telegraph problem as published
in trese columns last Tuesday was given
to the senior class at the high school the
following day. They quickly found the
correct answer, "74 f feet." We have an
illustration in our office of how the prob
lem was worked out which reflects great
credit on the scholars and their teachers,
although the arrav of figures, X, , and
geometrical designs, makes one imagine
that he were looking at a novel design
for a crazy quilt.
Mr. G. A. Taft, the agent for the ex

perience in the express business, having
followed that vocation in most ef the
principal cities of the United State. He
is thoroughly versed in business methods
requiring vigilance and responsibility,
and his pleasant manners gain him the
respect of those with whom ha ba inter
course, as well as increase tbe patron of
the company ho represents.
Dr. Paton'e Report.
"I have made a very careful chemical
and microscopical examination of a stom
ach and kidney received March
14, 1888, for the following poisons: Mer
cury, lead, silver, bismuth, copper, zinc,
antimony, arsenic, tin, prussic acid, oxal
ic acid, strychnia, morphia, nicotine, and
emetine and their salts and compounds,
and find that none of these are present.
I am yet, therefore, unable to state the
cause of death in this case, but should
recommend, from the geaeral appearaace
of the stomach and kidney, that the brain,
heart and lungs should be thoroughly ex
cxamined. If an examination and post
mortem examination be called for, it
should be done in the presence of the
toxicologist.
The stomach was found empty; six
and thiec-quarters (C j) inches in its great
est length, by three (3) inches in its
greatest width. When opened, a few
blood vessels were found engorged, es
pecially at the middle portion; the gen
eral color being of a pale pink, and the
mucous (inner) coat easily seperable from
the muscular evats; whilst, externally,
a pale blue tint could, here and there, be
observed. The kidney was, throughout,
of a dark reddish-brown hue.

"All Is Croon and Booming."
"Everything loyely, everything nice, it
seems to me like Paradise." That's the
idea that brother Ritchie intends to con
vey in the following letter that he has
sent us from Seattle, Washington Ter
ritory: Mb. Editor: I got to Seattle Thurs
day night and am much pleasud with tho
place. It is larger than I thought it was;
has somewhere about twenty-five thous
and people, it is on tho Sound.
I asked my cousin if he thought there
was any chance for you, he said he
thought it would be a good place, as
there was only one such a store, I have
forgotten what street it is ou.
Boats are booming and going all the
time.
I have not been around much yet as it
was late when I got .'icre. It is booming
here, lots of buildings going up; there is
saw mills, planning mills, sash, door and
blind mills; it is a busiaes place. ' It is
warm hore, grass is growing very nice,
all it, green. Plenty of titnbar, cedars,
balsams, pines; mostly ceudars 40 to GO
feet and higher, to 4 feet through.
I have not got any land yet bnt am go

of any more this time. Yours truly.

fter Gea. Gordon's death, in Egypt,
the Queen of England wrote Miss Gordon
an autograph letter of sympathy. Miss
Gordon in reply, interpreting a wish im
plied, asked the Queen's acceptance of a
pocket Bible which had been her broth
er's companion for years, and' was copi
ously by him. The Bible is in a palace
in the private apartments at Windsor.
A Dresden clock on a tall pedestal is
made to 'serve as a stand, on which the
Bible lies open, a glass shade covering
tho whole. The page which the Queen
herself laid open has a pointer directing
tho eye to the text, "I have fought a

Dr. Patton writes: "As you will see
by the enclosed report I have made n
pretty thorough examination of sample
sent. The suggestion I have made with
regard to further examinations is due to
the fact that in the course of analysis I
have come in contact with certain suspic
ious reactions which I have not, with the
material on hand, been able to thorough
ly identify."

Boeck this afternoon from chief constable

matrons of ths Restaurant
"The waiters here complain that some
of the people that come in here, where
they can get n plate of roast beef, turkey,
Jamb, op most anything elso for twenty
cents, expect ns much attention and ex
cellence of food as they would require at
up town swell resorts, where they think
nothing of paying $1 for dinner, with at
least a quarter for the waiter."
The speaker was the proprietor of a
large dining room down town, where low
prices prevail. He added, seutentiously:
"I have always noticed that n, man's
air of importance and the size of his din
ner check are likely to be in direct inverse
proportion. Many men with a fifteen
cent check walk out with a hundred thou
sand dollar air. There Is no place in the
world, I am told, where a man can get so
ranch to eat for his money, in quantity
and variety, as he can here in, Kew York.
Of course, I mean down town." New

Distance of the Star.
In determining the distances of stars angu
lar measurements are made at intervals of
six months, the parallax being the apparent
change of position which results from shift
lag the point of view about 183,000,000 miles,
the diameter of tho earth's orbit. Even with
this immense base line, the direction in which
the stars aro seen is scarcely altered. The
parallax of about a dozen stars, varying be
tween 0.919 seconds and 0.040 seconds, has
now been determined. The nearest star, to
us Is Alpha Centauri, distant about CO, 400,
000,000 miles. Tho average distance of first
magnitude stars i3 probably several times as
great as this. Boston Budget.
