I "Electric Bells Hung by the Sun.
Prof. Torvald. Kohl , of the Odder Ob-
[ f ervatory , Denmark , reports that -when
. the huge sunspot of September last -was
crossing the solar meridian , magnificent
auroral lights flashed across the heav
ens , and the electric bells in the great
telegraph station at Freclerica rang
without any visible cause. The tele
graphic service In Denmark was dis
turbed for hours during the auroral dis
play. Prof. Kohl thinks that the agen
cy of the sun in producing the phenom
ena was evident. Similar exhibitions
of "wireless telegraphy" betweeu the
sun and the earth have been noted In
the past.

IN SELF-DEFENSE.
The RouRh Eider Only Wanted to Get
Back to Texas.
When the prisoner appeared before
the police judge it was difficult to say
what manner of man he was or
whence he came. It was evident ,
though , that he was not entirely sober
and had been very much less so. In
addition , he had no doubt been rolling
in the gutter and had scraped his face
over some pretty rough sidewalk. All
in all , he was a dilapidated specimen ; .
yet there was a something about him
that bore the distinctive mark of dif
ference from the common herd of that
court room.
"Aren't you one of the famous Hough
Riders ? " asked the Judge after he had
talked to him very plainly , watching
him narrowly the meanwhile.
The prisoner held up his hand warn-
iugly.
"Don't give it away , Judge , " he said ,
looking around in alarm.
"What do you mean ? " responded
the astonished judge.
"Just what I say , Judge , " repeated
the prisoner , bending over so as to get
as near as possible. "Don't give it
away. I thought I had concealed my
identity from the public gaze. " Aud
he looked down over himself , half in
pride , half in shame.
This Avas too much for the Judge ,
and , bringing the prisoner nearer , so he
could tell his story confidentially , so to
speak , he told him to proceed.
"Well , you see , it was this a-way ,
Judge , " said the prisoner with a Texas
accent , "when I was mustered out and
begin to see what the great American
people thought of us fellers that fit
into the Spaniards at Santiago I seen
that if I didn't do something in self-
defense purty soon I was goiii' to be
run for office by the party that got me
first , er that I was goin' to have the
face kissed off me by a string of gals
a mile long , and I concluded I'd jist git
low-dowu , common drunk and stay
that u-way till I could git to a safe
place in Texas. I've escaped up to
date , and if you'll not say a word ,
Judge , but jist shove me along west ,
1 reckon I'll git back home in fair
enough shape , all things considered.
What do you say , Judge ; is it a go ? "
It was indeed , and the Judge in
structed a police officer to keep an eye
on the distinguished prisoner and set
that he was put on the next train
pointing its cowcatcher toward the
southwest corner of the great republic.
Washington Star.
The * Conquest of the Air.
A French journal recently published
an illustrated description of a new fly
ing machine , designed by M. Ader , and
called the "Avion. " This machine has
been constructed under the auspices of
and with the help of subsidies from the
French War Department , and although
it broke down at its first trial through
the occurm.t.0 of an unexpected squall
it showed plainly before that catas
trophe stopped its career that it had
the power of rising from the ground.
The huge machine has the appearance
of a bat , and carries in front two pro
pellers , which are worked by steam en
gines of immense power but light
weight. The wings are merely intend
ed to support the apparatus in the air ,
and do not flap like those of a bird , but
they are movable at the shoulder , in
order that the center of gravity of the
machine can be modified as required.
The entire machine is built of bamboo
fiber and steel wires , an < Tthe inventor
claims that he has adopted a principle
which has not been recognized by oth
er aspirants in the same field. He has
noted that in the wings of birds , of
bats and of insects the spiral form is
always found , and that nature in the
structure of wings never departs from
that principle , which he beleives con
stitutes the basis of aerostation. The
wrecked machine is now in order once
more , and it is hoped that the French
military authorities will once more
sanction experiments which will de
cide whether it will fly or not.
A New Match.
As the satisfactory outcome of ex
periments which have been in progress
for some time past at the French Gov
ernment match factories at Pantin , the
object of which has been to produce a
lucifer match without the employment
of phosphorus , a match has been in
vented which , it is believed , will meel
every requirement needed , while at the
same time its manufacture , from the
absence of phosphorus In its composi
tion , will not induce that terrible ne
crosis of which the world has lately
heard so much. No information is
given as to the price at which the new
match can be placed on the market ,
and unfortunately cost has a great deal
more to do with the adoption of any
new thing than the consideration of
any benefit which may accrue to mak
ers or consumers ; but it may be pre
sumed that the new match will compete
in price favorably with the old one. It
is said to ignite with ease and certainty
on being rubbed on any rough surface.
.Russian Lii r * .
Russian diplomats hold that it Is no

INDIANS DEFY THE NATION.
Walla Tonka Is Put to Death in Spite
of Court's Order.
"William Goings , the Chocta v Indian ,
kuowu also by the name of "Walla Ton
ka , " was executed at Alikichi , I. T. , for
the murder of his uncle , Mason Goings.
The execution took place at 2 o'clock , and
was a sickening sight. A quilt was spread
on the ground near the court house , and
near it four Indians placed a collin. A
few minutes later the prisoner , in charge
of Sheriff Watson and a deputy , and es
corted by twenty light horsemen , march
ed down the line of spectators. Goings
bade them good-by , and knelt on the
quilt blindfolded. The sheriff bared his
breast and painted a spot over tne heart ;
he then stepped back four paces , rested
a rille over a bench and fired , but missed
the painted spot. Goings fell back and
moaned an hour before expiring. Water
was poured down his throat a number of
times to hasten his death by strangula
tion.
tion.A
A writ of habeas corpus was granted
by Federal Judge John It. Thomas , but
when it was delivered by two deputy
marshals the sheriff refused to receive it.
While the execution was proceeding Dis
trict Attorney Clay remarked : ' "We are
making history. " It remains to be seen
what action the United States Govern
ment will take for defiance of the writ.
Walla Tonka was a full-blooded Choctaw -
taw , lie was born in the Indian Terri
tory twenty-four years ago. In his 18th
year he stabbed and killed his uncle , Ja
cob Lewis , and shortly after engaged in
a saloon fight in which he shot and killed
Bull Ilendersou. He was tried on both
charges and acquitted , but was convicted
of murder of another uncle , Mason Go
ings , in 3890 , and was sentenced to be
shot on Aug. 2.j , 1897. Tonka was a
member of the Choctaw baseball club ,
and was respited in order to finish the
season without the loss of so valuable a
player.

exact nature of which he says is unknown

In answer to a direct question Gen.
Wheeler stated that he did not know the

was quite ignorant as to the extent of
their information.
Gen. Wheeler was accompanied by his
daughter , Miss Annie Wheeler , who goes

LIE FREELY PASSED.
United States Senators Gallincrer and
Chandler Have Hot Tilt.
At Concord , X. H. , the investigation of
charges against United States Senatoi
Gallinger by the civil service commission
came near resulting in
a fight. When several
witnesses were called
and failed to respond ,
Senator Chandler made
the statement that ths
defendant had influ
enced witnesses to stay
away from the investi
gation.
Senator Gallinger ,
pale with rasre , chal-
j. H. GALT.IKOEK lenged his accuser to
make the charge outside the room. The
challenge was accepted at once , and both
men started for the door , but were pre
vented from leaving the room by newspa
per men and the commissioners. Several
contradictory statements followed , when
Attorney General Eastman , believing he
had been accused , rose to his feet , and ,
shaking his fist at Senator Chandler ,
said : "You are a liar if you are a United
States Senator. "
Quiet was finally restored and the in
vestigation proceeded , but the episode set
' the political pot of New Hampshire to
boiling.

Admiral Dewey , on board the United

Said Thursday evening. The admiral is
reported looking hale and hearty and is
anxious to get to New York as early as
possible. He was therefore obliged to
decline the invitation of Minister Straus
at Constantinople to stay with him on the

with the Olympia to Trieste , where he ex
pects to make a short stay for the ben
efit of a change of air. From Trieste he

RICH LAND FOR A RAILROAD.
Court Awards 1,000,000 Acres to the

In deciding that Ashland , Wis. , is the
terminus of the Northern Pacific Rail
road , Judge Sauboru of the United States
Circuit Court confirmed the road's title
to 1,000,000 acres of valuable land along
the shore of Lake Superior between Ash
land and Duluth. The Federal Govern
ment was plaintiff in the case. Suit-was

Hoiv Did Deserts Originate ?
How did the deserts originate ? It.
Lydekker , B. A. , F. R. S. o Canada ,
presents an interesting explanation
that tends to clear up the mystery. He
argues that a little reflection will sho\v
that the Idea of the loose sands of the
desert being a marine deposit must nec
essarily be erroneous.
Apart from the difficulty of accountIng -
Ing for the accumulation of such vast
tracts of sand on the marine hypothe
sis , It will be noticed in the first place
that desert sands are not stratified In
the manner characteristic of aqueous
formations , and , secondly , even sup
posing that they had been so deposited ,
they would almost certainly have been
washed away as the land rose from
beneath the sea. Then , again , ma
rine shells are not met with in desert
sands.
It is absolutely certain , Mr. Lydek
ker asserts , that the sands of all the
great deserts of the world have been
formed in situ by the disintegration of
the solid rock on which they rest , and
have beeen blown about and rearrang
ed by the action of wind alone.

DEAR MRS. PINKHAM
I gladly give you my

your remedies. When I
first commenced your
treatment I had been
suffering from female
troubles and weakness for
some time. Menses were
irregular , coming too of

ful. I could not walk
a great distance , had those
terrible bearing-down feeling

To sacrifice , beauty , disposition and health
to a false idea is folly. Generations of ignor
ance have handed down belief in the necessity
of monthly suffering. A healthy woman
should experience but little pain and only a
moderate amount of inconvenience.

DEAR Mus. PINKHAM For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dreadful pains , and was almost
on the verge of insanity. I consulted one of the best physi
cians in New York , and he pronounced my disease a. fibroid
tumor , advising an operation without delay , saying that it was
my only chance for life. Other doctors prescribed strong and
violent medicine , and one said I was incurable , another told
me my only salvation was galvanic batteries , which I tried ,
but nothing relieved me. One day a friend called and begged
me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I began
its use and took several bottles. From the very first bottle
there was a wonderful change for the better. The tumor has
disappeared entirely and my old spirits have returned. I
heartily recommend your medicine to all suffering women. " _
