Parkpr, tha formar Sterling Metho. dipt mlnlHter, Is visiting In the -lty and he says that the aroount rf his 1e psrture from ttrllng wa much over drawn. He has made a statement M fol low: "Regardlna; the atorlea circulated concern ing anme trouble I had In Sterling. I desire to say this: I did foolishly entry a letter for a young man to a young liuly. and this made the glrl-a father very angry, and he called at the parsonac and ordered me to leave the city. I had already planned to go to Wymore to visit, and on Monday carried out thin Intention. About a half dozen Ignorant toughs followed me to the depot and one weak-minded youhg man threw two egas, both of which ntruck me. 1 looked at him with pity. I pitied his weak ness. "I have the respect of every good citizen In Pterllng. and no one can deny thta fact truthfully. "All of the flurry was mada by tha mob crowd that always wanta to hit the preacher. I am B7 years old and hava naver had a hint against me'ln tha past. "The names of the other parties In the case have not been made public by those who are circulating tha reporta, and this should be done. In that event I am willing to trust my case to the Judgment of the public. "The story circulated Is both absurd and untrua. "I PARKER." Mr. Parker before leaving Sterling re signed his plfcc with the Methodist .church and Intends to locate on the, Pacific coast. He was pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church here for a number of years. Prom here he went to Geneva, and from thera to IJncoln. where he engaged In the real estate business for two years. From there he went to Sterling. Mrs. Tarker has been visiting here with her two daughters for a week. HIGH POWER TESTING MACHINE Valuable Equipment Installed thai Federal Bnrran of Standards. by Some time ago an order wu given by the federal Bureau of Standards to a New England firm for two of the greatest test ing machines ever manufactured. One of the, the smaller, with a capacity bf 21:0,000 pounds, haa already been Installed In Washington and the other, with a( ca pacity of of 2,300,000 pounds. Is being placed In a nearby room. The large machine, very similar in appearance to tha amall one, looks simple to the extreme when Its great strength and purpose are considered. It haa no complicated, delicate parts at a flrat glance, yet It haa the power to crush to atoms a great block of solid ateel. The purpose of the two machines la to test Iron and steel, aa well as all aorta of building materials, such aa reinforced con crete, brick ' piles, eto. They will afford Information for engineers and architects to baaa their calculations upon. A test of a few seconds will determine just how much strain a steel girder will stand, and then the engineer who builds a skyscraper or bridge will be expected to tax tha beam accordingly. The strength of a brick pier will be a known quantity, and It will be expected to stand the strain placed upon It. , The two testing machines will be given power by a central hydraulic power plant, containing three accumulators. These ac cumulators will . be placed In a room to themselves and tha power conducted by underground passages. Bach hydraullo pound .will ba welghed.N In order that the amount of pressure needed to test a piece of steel can ba known to tha exact amount Thla weighing portion of the machines is one of tha peculiar parts. From the mat chine thera leada to a aet of acalea at an other part of tha room a long copper fube. Thla tube has an opening about tha size of tha lead In , an average lead pencil. Through the tuba flows a liquid which Is weighed on the scale, and the exact amount of pressura needed is registered. . The larger of the two machines is placed In a room about 84x60 feet. " Beside it Is a narrow gauge track, where a amall oar carries the material to be worked upon. Overhead are huge eliding cranes that also carry the pieces of iron and steel to tha machine. Tha large machine will crush a column of 100 square Inches and thirty feet long. , Although there are other machines Ilka, the two at the bureau In use In the coun try, none of them comes up to the largest as regards precision. The Phoenix Iron company haa a machine of 1,400,000 pounda capacity, and tha American Bridge com pany has on of 4,000.000 pounda capacity, but they do not have the fin weighing mechanism as pertains to tha bureau ma chine. They are more crude and leea exact, and therefor oould not be depended upon aa tha new on can. The smaller testing machine at the ' bureau cost PO.OuO. and the larger one ; flsO.000. Counting all the equipment and details connected with the two machines, i they will cost In the neighborhood of lu,OU0 to Install ready for use. The larger of . the two machines, al ; though made to handle huge pleoea of the t strongest steel, can test tha atrength of a tiny watch spring Just as eally as It can " tell the power of a bridge girder. The crushing and tension parts of the machine ' work on the same hydr,ullo plan, on pull ' Ing where the ether pushes. The Hire accumulators to be used in, furnishing por.er to the machines hava a combined weight of 100,000 pounda, and are . dropped in a f(Cl--foot pi, where they rise to the celling whi.fi In operation. The larg est of the two tesung Machines weighs in ! the neighborhood of 200,000 pounds. Al, - though both of the devices look simple in construction, they axe not built on a simple plan, aa th blue print prove The. latter cover masses of sheets of paper, and ths most experienced engineer would have no little trouble In figuring out all the detatla. lo lest th atrength of a ateel column the latter Is gripped at each .end by a tapering devloe. The latter la screwed up until th teeth" hold th ateel flrraly In plae. When th power la turned on these teeth" grip tighter than ever, and steel is pulled from each end. When the plec t breaks, as It does when the power Is ' gradually Increased, th scales tell to th ( exact number of pounda Just how .much pressure was needed In the operation. In this way it Is known how much strain the , steel will aland. Washington Star. ladle. . .ead t. uah y.a, a.... Bead Th Be Market Snapper aa what ha want far Bandar dtaaer. Mt a. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Neely hav returned from a two months' tour In California, FORCE OF UNWRITTEN LAWS Tradition and 4'aatora Invest Them with Power of the . Otatatea. There Is a class of unwritten 'law which does not and cannot become written law, because It approaches ao near the danger line that man dare not recognize it to the extent of publishing It and declaring It as a part of the positive law. Jt In th unwritten law of the sea that a captain must go down with his ship. Men dare not write It Into the contract, and nations dare not Incorporate It In their navy or marine regulations, yet the ty rants of the sea know the law, and be lieve that to obey It betters their service, and there are few Instances of Its being disregarded. It Is the unwritten law of the army and navy that an officer shall not seek cover, I or at least shall not show apprehension of danger to hla person. In time of battle and In the presence of enlisted men or common sailors. In the Franco-Prussian war nearly 4.000 officers of the Oerman army were killed and the great majority of them gave up their lives because they believed In the law of conduct. In obedience to this law Farragut bound himself to the mast, Ie rode to th head of his charging column at th bloody angle, and Lawton walked coolly in front of the line and was shot In the presence of hla men. , The law of the right of revolution has been much talked about and much written about. Kvery Intelligent citizen believes that he has the right under certain condi tions to suppose the established govern ment of his own land and Join In an effort to establish another In its place. Just prior to an during the civil war there was much discussion In this country by learned men on either side of the right of revolution and the "higher power" and the "greater law." The law Justifying one person In the killing of another haa required the serious consideration of every country. Kvery criminal code provides certain punishments for homicide, and many of them graduate the punishment with minute particularity, according to the circumstances of th kill ing, so that any one of six crimes may ba Involved In a single tragedy. Such codes also attempt to define what killing Is Justi fiable and what killing is excusable and with their Interpretation by the courts at tempt to describe the only conditions under which one human being can kill another and not be guilty of crime. The Hebrew code almost stands alone In Its recognition of man's desire-to kill and his right to have that desire and that climax of all satisfactions which comes to him who under great provocation slays another. It is not at all strange that In this branch there should be an extended code of unwritten, as well as written law, unwritten now and always to be unwritten for the reason that the recognition given by Its embodiment In the statutes would be taken as a license by dishonest men and would reault In harm rather than good. It Is an unwritten law among the officers of the army that if a subordinate officer kills a superior officer because that officer haa publicly degraded him by striking him or by any other action , equally hu miliating then -the court-martial will not convict. During the civil war at Louis ville, Ky., Oenvral Nelson said to General Davis: "How many men hav youT" General Davis replied, "About " giving an approximate number. Nelson said, "You an army officer and, aay "about! Why don t you 'know how many men you havT" And with that he a truck Davis in th face with his glove. Davis shot and killed him, and th court- martial acquitted Davis. Case and Com ment THRILLS PUT IN THE LEAP Theatrical Kptaode Transforms Hereto Hamance lata Stiff ' Athletics. E. H. Bothern, apropos of 'April 1, told at a dinner in New York a story about his father. "My father in his youth," he said, "was once playing in a romantic drama, wherein he mad a tremendous leap a leap from hla lady love's tower to a mattress be hind a wooden rock on the stage, far below. It was a thrilling leap, and my father no doubt enjoyed th applause it won him; but on night he sprained his ankle and vowed he would leap no mora. "So th manager hired a professional acrobat, made up as my father's coun terpart, to do the leap, while my father wculd slip back under cover of tha tower wall and deacend to hla dressing room by means of a hidden ladder. 'The afternoon the acrobat came to th theater to rehearse he made th leap and then he set up a loud complaint. "'What's th matterr asked a young member of the company who happened to be in th theater. " 'Why,' said the acrobat, in a disgusted voles, this her leap is too tarn. It's too easy.

Th very thing!' " 'You don't think th boss would mind?' said the acrobat, doubtfully. " 'Mini? Why, man, he'll be tickled to death. Ten to on he'll raise yonr salary.' "That evening when th great leap scan began my father was gratified to see th acrobat, a perfect picture . of himself, crouching in th shadow of th window. '"Love, .good night, good nightl my father cried. , "'Stay!' moaned the heroin,, and ah thrw herself on, his neck. 'Stay! That leap Is death!' " 'Nay, nay, my own, 'tis honor. I leap, 'tis true, but ther Is that within my heart will bear m up thine Image, love. And so good night, good night "He kissed her madly on th brow, tore himself from her clinging arms and rushed across -th open space Into th shadow. "'Jump!' h hissed between hla teeth. - "And out. straight Into ths air, shot the acrobat Twice hla lithe shape whirled round Ilk a great flywheel. Then he lit lightly and easily on th topmost point of the wooden rock. "Roars of laughter and thunders of ap plause shook th theater.
