Senators Xot Ready to Adjourn.
The senate by two votes Wednesdaj
morning refused to comply with th
request of the house made a day or
two ago for a conference committee
to fix a day for final adjournment. It
also voted down a motion to indefinite
ly postpone all senate files now on
general file. Senators who opposed
these motions declared the house is
up to tricks intended to kill some im
portant senate bills now in its pos
session. For several days the house ,
it is clamed , has been passing by sen
ate bills and acting only on house
measures. Some of the senators have
given it out that they will stay in Lin
coln all summer if necessary in order
to force the house to act on some of
the' senate bills. To appoint a com
mittee on adjournment , they say ,
would be voting away an advantage
the seante now holds. The senate is
two days behind the house in the
number of days it has been in session
and will draw pay that much longer.
For this reason the senators are not
as anxious to get away as the house
members are.

soldiers , who failed to capture him. but
went away with his mule. Alter hasty
diplomatic notes bad been exchanged
war was declared and real war began.

better trained than ever , the forces of

do Namasique saw 100 killed on tbe
side of Honduras and Salvador alone.
This is three times as cnany as the
American fatalities in battle in tbe war
between.Spain and tbe United States.
There were 5,000 Salvadoreans and
Guatemalans in tbe fight , so tbe loss
was 20 per cent.
Personally leading bis armies , which
have invaded Honduran soil and cap
tured town after town , is President
Zelaya of Nicaragua. War found him
doubly ready for tbe conflict His suc
cesses on tbe coast have been followed
up by the United States navy , which has
lauded small forces of marines at La
Ceiba and Trujillo , towns captured by
Nicaragua , and at Puerto Corte/ .

Mnrvin Case J.ilcely ti > Be Pnralle ,
to Charley R .s.x ICItlnaiiin ? .
As tbe dismal days come and go the
seemingly impenetrable mystery in th
disappearance of little Horace Marvin
from Dover , Del. , grows deeper. And
the army of astute detectives on the
case , several of them inasters of crime
and bidden circumstance , admit thai
they are utterly bailled. It is an aston
ishing fact thai these detectives , to
gether with the police machinery of all
the principal cities in tbe United States ,
the i'amed Pinkerton Detective Agency ,
and a host of amateur sleuths , have
failed to develop 0113 single distinct
clew to the missing boy's whereabouts
since the search'was begun on March 4.
What did happen to little Horace
Marvin when be passed from the eyes
of bis now sorrowing fatner for the last
time ? It is a question that may nevei
be answered. And from present indi
cations the case will go down as rival
ing all other kidnaping mysteries in
tbe history of the country-
Charles Brewstcr Kos , whose case is
a classic in criminal annals , was ex
actly the same age as tbe Marvin boy
when be disappeared from tbe borne ol
his father , Christian Ross , Washington
lane , Germautown. Pa. , July 1 , 1874.
He is now generally believed to bave
been stolen from bis home , although
kidnaping was not at first suspected.
Ross reported tbe loss of tbe child to
tbe Philadelphia police. He bad hopes
of the sate return of Charley up to July
G. Then be received a letter demand
ing $20,000 , conditional on the safe re
turn of tbe boy. Tbe police set out to
capture tbe kidnapers. From all parts
of tbe country boys who looked like
Charley Ross were reported. One after
another they were shown to be other
children.
On Dec. 14 , the same year , the first
real clews were found. That nigbt two
men committed a burglary in the Bay-
side district of Brooklyn. Their names
were William Mosber and James Doug-
las. Both men died from wounds re
ceived in trying to escape from the po
lice.
Before dying Douglas confessed tbat
he and Mosher bad kidnaped Charley
Ross. Search was renewed for their
fellow conspirators , and William Wes-
tervelt , brother-in-law of Mosber , was
arrested. He was finally convicted as
accessory after tbe crime and was sen-
THOSE DARNED BOOSTERS ARE AT IT AGAIN !

Cincinnati Post
The armies of Central America are
made up of Indian stock mixed with
Spanish blood. The secondary weapon
consists of the ever truty machette.
Large bodies of the troops are armed
oiily with these long , heavy knives.
The deadly machete is responsible for
most of the carnage. Even when pro
vided with guns the Central Ameri
cans are notoriously bad shots.
Honduras has been helped in this
war by Salvador , with whom she had
an offensive and defensive alliance ,
and she has had to contend with a re
bellious outbreak of her own people.
This was the case in Nicaragua , the
latent revolutionists in each country
seemingly taking advantage of the diffi
culties of the government to further
their own cause. Only three Central
American states have become involved ,
Costa Rica and Guatemala remaining
neutral.
The government of the United States
sent gunboats to both the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts and marines were land
ed at two or three ports on the north
ern coast of Honduras for the protec
tion of American interests. These ports
were in the possession of enemies of
the Hondurau government at the time ,
and the government of Honduras ap
proved the action taken by the United
States.
The capture of the capital of Hon
duras by the Niearaguans , coupled
with tbe recent defeat of the force of
Honduras and Salvador at Choluteca
and the flight of President Bonilla of
Honduras , it is thought , practically
puts an end to the war.
Herbert D. Peirce , United States min
ister to Norway , returned to Boston and

of Sagre Foundation.
Mr. Robert W. De Forest , counsel for
Mrs. Russell Sage , in discussing the plans
for administering the foundation of § 10-
000,000 recently contributed by Mrs.
Sage for the improvement of social con
ditions , said that she was especially in
terested in the living conditions of the
poor and unfortunate , and that it was
her intention to take an active part per
sonally in distributing the income of the
fund , which would amount to about $450-
000 a year. He thought this income
would be applied very largely to existing
charities , but if investigation showed that
anything could be accomplished by a cam
paign of education along certain lines ,
such work would be taken up. Mrs. Sage
desires that the lowly and unfortunate ,
and any others who do not get the best
results out of social conditions , should
find a way to improve them , and should
be helped to improve them , if necessary.
Deaf-SIntcM Good Workers.
A business man who conducts a large
bottling establislrmeiit in the lower east
side district of New York City has dis
covered that deaf-mutes make the most
.reliable help that he can obtain. He
commenced about seven years ago by em
ploying a deaf-mute boy , who filled his
place so satisfactorily that others were
employed from time to time , until now
there are a dozen or more of these af
flicted persons drawing good wages at
this establishment. The employer says
he finds them faithful , and when they
have fully grasped the idea of the task
to be accomplished , rather more intelli
gent than the normal workman. More
over , they are very little given to dissi
pation.

Prof , Behring , the famous Berlin spe

as opposing the Pasteur system of puri

ilization of milk and the boiling of water
to render them inocuous. He says that
boiled milk is unsuitable food for in
fants , and that the boiling of water kills
the elements intended by nature for the
making of bone and sinew. True protec
tion for those who use the milk of cows ,
in his opinion , is the production of
healthy cows.

Doctors AVeisrh n. Soul.
That the human soul has a material
vehicle susceptible of being measured and
weighed by human science is the con
clusion of six years of experimentation by
Drs. Duncan , MacDougall and Syroul of
Haverhill and Dr. Grant of Lawrence ,
Mass. The experiments in question were
conducted in a Massachusetts sanitarium ,
and were kept an entire secret from the
outside world until definite results could
be shown. The essential point thus far
developed is that immediately after the
heart has ceased to beat and at the mo
ment when , in the usual phraseology , the
"soul leaves the body , " there is an appre
ciable loss in the bodily weight which
cannot he accounted for by any scientific
deductions dealing with known physical
data.
Preparatory to the tests , the doctors
arranged a bed for dying patients on '
scales so carefully balanced that the
slightest deviation 'became at once appar
ent. The experiments covered several
cases , including both men and women ,
and in every instance the result was prac
tically the same , showing a loss in weight
of from one-half ounce to an ounce with
in a few seconds after the cessation of
physical life. It was noted as an inter
esting incident that while generally this
change occurred immediately after the
heart had ceased to beat , in the case of a
phlegmatic man , slow of thought and ac
tion , the change was delayed a full min
ute after apparent death. The observa
tions and notes were made by the physi
cians separately , but careful comparison
showed them to be in substantial accord ,
and all attempts to disprove the sound
ness of their conclusions have failed to
change the result. In connetion with
these experiments tests were also made
with the lower animals , principally dogs ,
the result in those cases being that no de
viation of the scales was perceptible when
the life departed.
While these experiments are not con
sidered conclusive by scientists , they have
very naturally aroused much interest
among psychologists and the general pub-
Do Planets Affect Enrthauakes ?
Camille Flammarion , the noted astrono
mer , in a contribution to the European
edition of the New York Herald , states
that notwithstanding a few coincidences j
of eclipses with earthquake action , care
ful investigation and comparison leads
him to believe that the sun and moon are
not influential factors in the production
of earthquakes , as these o-5 ur oftentimes
when the planets in question are not in
position to a3ect the earth , from which
it is apparent that no general law of
planetary action in this direction can be
deduced.
TONIC FOR MOTHERS
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Are Safe and
Reliable A Favorite Household
Remedy.
Motherhood may be the crowning
blessing of awoman's life or it maj
bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J ,
Wight , of 170 Seventh Street , Auburn ,
Maine , relates her experience after tha
birth of her daughter in 1901 , as fol
lows : "I was all run down at the
time the baby came and did not Im
prove in health rapidly after. I was
pale , thin and bloodless. My stomach
distressed me being full of gas all the
time and my heart fluttered so that I
could scarcely breathe.
"Finally I remembered that a friend
had recommended Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to me so I commenced using
them. I gained in strength rapidly
while the baby throve also. When I
expected ray next child I started tak
ing the pills again as a tonic and
strengthener and had no such diffi
culty as before. I got up better and
my strength came back much sooner.
"A year ago last winter I had an at
tack of rheunlatism in the hands which
vent from ono hand to the other. The
joints swelled up and were so stiff I
could not move them. The pain ex
tended up through my arras and
shoulders. I felt sick enough to go to
-bed but did not do so. This attack
lasted for several months. I tried sev
eral remedies "but finally came- back
to using the pills which had done me
so much good before and found that
they benefited me almost at once. I
have not been troubled since. "
