[ The Direct Primary.
* The republican platform is
pledged to a state primary law ,
but it is a question how one can
be formed to meet satisfaction
and make the desired improve
ment over the convention system.
In Illinois the primary law has
been a disappointment , and in
Oregon it has not worked accord
ing to expectations. Touching
the experiment in Oregon , tl'u
tturchard Times has the follow
ing to say , in part , as the resul
of an interview with Senate
Fulton of that place :
"United States Senator Fttltoi >
of Oregon , who was in Burchan
last week , the guest of Mr. an
Mrs. W. J. Ilalderman , is not ai
enthusiastic admirer of the dircc
primary for the nomination o
county , state and district officers
one of the reform measures fo
which both parties in Nebrask
now stand pledged.
"The direct primary law is i
force in Oregon , and , the senate
says , while it accomplishes il
purpose in the case of county an
district offices , where the possibl
candidates are well known ,
falls far short of being a refon
when candidates for state ofiia
are to be named.
"It can be readily seen that
candidate for governor or Unite
States senator who is wealth
and can afford to spend mom
lavishly in advertisinghimsel
would have an immense advan
age over a poorer , though po
sibly worthier man , who can tu
afford to have his praises shout <
from the housetops. "

ROPING BIG BEAR NOT EASY
Bruin Chases lUnch Owner nnd Lnt-
or Narrowly Escapes with
His Life.
"Iii the winter of ISM , " imfd
I'im Kinney , a ranchman of Kock
Springs , Wyo. . to a Washington
L'ost reporter , " ( he hears in Hit
ter creek were surely it nuisance
to the stockmen. I lost so many
calves that 1 got lighting mad ,
nnd declared war on ( lie four-
fooled despoilers.
"One day my foreman and I
were out rounding up a herd of
beeves when in a low , marshy
spol we came across one of ( he big
gest bears I ever HIIW. Unluckily ,
wo didn't have either rille or re
volver , but as I looked at the beast
and thought of my dead calves my
dander got up , and it occurred to
me dial we miglil throw ourlari-
als over him and hold him nniil
some way of executing the death
jKMially could be found.
"We thought il was a picnic , as
far as throwing a rope over Mr.
Hear was concerned. My man got
his rope over Hie enemy's neck
and I got him around one leg. It
looked as though we had him. Dis
mounting , 1 made the end of my
lariat fast to the stump of a Iree ,
bnl I he foreman stayed on his
pony. O rubbing a huge rock , I
got quite- close to ( he brnle and
dealt him a terrible blow on ( lie
forehead. Wilh a hoI I of rage ho
gave n mighty hinge thai broke
the rope from ( he Iree and stnrled
after me.
"Hut for ( he tremendous efforts
of my companion , who still main-
( aincd his hold , 1 would have been
caught and killed before I could
have been able to reach my pony.
As it was ( he shave was extremely
close , and ( he bear was right at
my heels as I got in ( he saddle.
All ( his ( ime the foreman was lugging
ging and hauling manfully , and if
he hadn't been strong nnd skillful
I'd have never lived ( o ( ell ( his
yarn. In a few minutes I man
aged to get another piece of rope
and ( his time old Silver Tip wan
unable ( o break his fastening.
Both of us ( hen assaulted him
with slones and beat him into in
sensibility before administering
the con ] ) de grace wilh a html ing

"The queerest marriage I e\ei

Egg-Swallowing Record.
lot A singular story of egg-sw ;
Cd lowing comes from Maritzhui
the capital of Natal. A we
known citizen made a bet with
its local auctioneer that he won
swallow 42 raw eggs in ten m
ed utes. He performed the task
cd eight minutes , and then offer
nd to swallow GO raw eggs in 15 in

CAN TRESPASS BY 'PHONE.
Long-Diotanco Breach of the Pcaco
Determined by Knnsivs
City Judge.
The invention of new machinery ,
devices , processes , is continually
bringing up new questions of law ,
puzzling judges , lawyers and lay
men , aoIHou.uizc.s the Philadelphia
Public Ledger. The trolley
brought its problems ; the sub
marines , when they are used
for commercial purposes , will
undoubtedly pose the law
makers ; the power of modern
guns on men-of-war has made oh-
Holete ( he old three-mile rule us
to the limit of territorial waters ;
and when the balloon .shall be-
I'Otnc a passenger vehicle what
wisdom will frame I he rules of the
road or the law of trespass ?
Jusl now the law relating to the
telephone- of interest. What
constitutes a breach of pence by
'phone ? .Judge Brady , of Kansas
Oily , has just decided such ji case
which , by reason of ils romantic
connect ion , appeals ( o all. Wal
ler Clark had proposed to a maid-
pn and had been rejeclcd. He re
newed the proposal over the tele
phone ; called up the fair one sev
eral times , and was "turned
down. " He was not dismayed , but
"called" in the morning and in the
afternoon and in the dewey eve ,
and sometimes at night. The
doors may be barred and a re
jected suitor kept out , but how is
the telephone to be guarded ?
Judge Brady took these questions
under consideration , and ruled
that after a girl had rejected a
man she had the inalienable right
"to have him stay rejected , " and
that the use of the telephone
could and should be classed as a
style of importunity amounting tea
a breach of peace.
- The theory of the law in- these
decisons is this : It would be a
breach of the peace if the snilor
should annoy the young woman
with his presence , and the fact
, that the telephone was used does
not modify the act nor the respon
. sibility of the person performing
the act. This seems to be good
sense , and an indication thai
when the people of the United
States shall nil have "universal
wireless connection" a man in
New York who calls an enemy in
Ban Francisco a hard name by
t "wireless" will hold himself liable ,
though the costs of prosecution
would be prohibitive.
HOW TO MAKE A BATTERY
Stiff Piece of Paper nnd n'Common
Ten Trny Are All That Is
Necessnry.
Cut a still' piece of paper into
an oval or a circle of nearly the
size of a common tea tray. Fasten
to it two upright handles , one OH.
each end , both made of paper and
attach by means of sealing wax ,
says the San Francisco Chron
' icle.
Now , dike any common tin tea
tray that you may be able to bor
row in the house and lay it on the
top of two glasses. These will
furnish the "insulation. "
Warm the paper disk thoroughly
ly on the stove till it is as dry as it
' nan possibly be. Then lay it on
the table and brush it violent ! }
with a common clothesbrush. Il
you spread a piece of silk or a rub
ber sheet under it , so much the
he better , though it is not necessary
ho The friction has made the pupei
electric. Lift it from the table
lay it on the tea tray and approacl
A corner of ililh the knuckles o
ml your finger or with a sharp meta
point. A spark will leap out fron
it iniinediateh.
Now you havian electric bat
tery in a most simple form. B ;
rubbing the paper as often as i'
loses its electricity it is possibli
to get enough sparks to load a Le.v
den jar or another form of sma'l
electric storage battery.
A very simple Leyden jar can b
ow made by filling a tumbler half fu ]
ad with shot and sticking an iron o
ss. silver spoon into it. By letting th
Mie sparks from the tea tray leap cor
be- tiually to the spoon the tumble ?
jar finally will accumulate so nine :
electricity that it will beextreuu
ly uncomfortable to get a shoe
al- from it.
