For four years the farmers have been robbed. Farmers would come into town wih a bunch of cattle or loads of farming products,' and the next morning they wonld befovnd along the roadside . suffering from a wound and minns the proceeds ol their products. Aged German women have been ' forced to stand upon a red hot stove in an effort to compel them to disclose the hiding place of some treas ures in the house. These deoredatious have continued unceasingly. Arrests have been made, but the guilty oar ties covered np their lawlessness and it was seldom that conviction followed. Daring the pist week rdbberits had increased alarmingly. Oa last Saturday word was received by the sher ff that the store of Wooley Bros., at Correct, ad., ten miles from here, was to be en tered. The infoimation was given by one of the gang's confederates who bad been ,under suspicion. Sheriff Henry Bashing arranged that' his informan- sbould accompany the robbers, and se curing five deputies himself went to the place. Sheriff Bashing concealed him self in the cellar, while his deputies were stationed at a convenient distance oat side, r : Shortly after midnight the gang reached Wooley Bros, store. Clifford Gordon and the sheriff a inform ant were designated to break into the building. Gordon - himself effected an entrance and- jast as - he stepped inside the sheriff grabbed him. Both pulled pistols at the same time and began firing. Andrews was with the robbers and he, too, joined in the f u- silade when the deputies came to the as sistance of the sheriff. The sheriff was shot and Gordon was shot several times. Two pistol balls entered bis body and he was also shot in the leg. tordon and 'Andrews succeeding in es caoiDge were alterwards arrested. ' The roobers had driven out of the place in a buggy belonging to Lisle Levy, from information subsequently gathered It was learned that the robberies bad been planned by Schulter and Wm. Jennings. The two latter were arrested as acces sories. All were sent to the jail at Ver sailles. Henry Scanner was put in law for robbing a barber shop last May. He was 25 years old, Gordon 23 and Jen- nines 25. While the citizsns have not been able to fix tne various roooeries upon these men, they were thought to be Dart ot a gang mat naa commiuca most of them. Wnen it became known, it was qoickly suggested by the victims' sympathizers .that jastice -be dealt. Shortlv before 3 o clocx mere was a knock i at the door and wben opened pistols were presented by three masked men. who asked for the keys. These thev nroenred and then the mob filed ? into the ' jail. " Three of the t misoners. Levi. Jennings and Schulter were on the lower floor, while finrrfnn and Andrews were on tnenpper. fenmnes and Schulter showed ugnt ana the former was shot through the breast.

It is as great a boon to mankind as the inven tion of the ophthalmoscope, and just as the - latter instrument has proved its worth from the first day to this and has saved thousands of people from total blindness, so will the X ray be benefit cial to the human race and save life and limb of thousands of sufferers. It will, of course, need to be greatly im proved. The one essential quality which so far prevents applying it to the densest; part jof the body with perfect success is its propensity for traveling in straight lines,! piercing ' or rather being entirely absorbed by intervening bodies. Light rays do hot necessarily go throngh all substances, as is well known, and they are not all absorbed, except when falling on certain substances, which are called from j their appearance dead black. It being practically impossible to reflect X rays to any great extent, we' might still resort to diffusing them- tbat is, to allowing them to be thrown back from any surface in a more or less regular way. Such a feat would enable us to inspect special sections of the body, which we are not now able to in-! specr, with considerable accuracy. New York Sun.. - . . LlhE IN JAPAN. I lafcadlo Heaum's Description of a Baa- . qact at Iramo. . j By invitation I went in the evening to a charming little banquet, at which I met some dear old friends. There were recita-j tions of poems by guests and there were dances by dancing girls. One ol tne lat ter, whom I remembered having seen when a very small child maiko, during an official din Deri given at the governor's bouse in the twenty -third; year of Meiji, had grown up into a tall and graceful woman. She attired herself like a young warrior of old time a two sword ed busbl,. with white cloth tied round her head, sleeves bound back and skirts tucked op to sing a national sod g of the war now all the rage. JXbis was for me one of the most interesting incidents of the entertain' ment The song is not one of loud tri umph, but the melody expresses a pecul iar something in Japanese national char acter that the Occident knows yet very lit tle about. The air is excessively simple and must be sung in a low, slow way, But every tone in it is a tone of penetrat ing irony, tne tone or one expressing amused contempt for an enemy, yet care ful not to seem boastful, jnow it is just this vocal . irony which takes a audience by storm, provoking wild shouts and old samurai battlecries, as it did on this occasion even before the girl had finished the first four lines. Then at my request the girl danoed the dance of urashima. I aaaed her because 1 bad Been her dance it when she was a child. This time she danoed It using a mask the mask of old age deftly slipped on at the moment when Urashima looks Into the box which he was told never to open. Afterward she brought me the mask to look at. I thought that Its pasteboard features bad a faint, mocking resemblance ta mv own. and I suppose that I must have fallen into a little reverie, for a friend laughingly handed me a wine cup with the wise remark', r Tonight we must minx onlvof haDDv things." As a matter of fact. I ought to have' been very happy. Lafcadio Hearn's "A Trip to Izumo" in Atlantic. ! !

All Countries .Contribute a Share of ..- What Would Hake an Interesting Tol- ime-Several Examples,---.-' - j.jt' . . An interesting volume might be writ ten on the curiops ' points of law that are constantly arising in ' the courts.' The most expert j lawyers and judges are frequently puzzled by the novel situa-.-tions in whjch they are plaoed. ; - One of the most curious points of law on record arose Recently j in a coUrt at Jersey, in America. The question wai whether eggs, after reaching a certain stage of incubation, were to be regarded as eggs or ohiokena After quarreling about the matter for some time, counsel offered to break one of the eggs to sat isfy the law that it contained a chicken, in which case, of course, the eggs would I have been considerably enhanced in value, but there! was a general demur' to this suggestioh, and the justice re served his decision till he had consulted his colleagues. The result had not come to hand at the tipe of writing. A remarkable case in France exoited a great deal of attention Borne time ago. A gentleman dining on the terrace of a Narbonne restaurant let a bank i note fall into his soup. He laid it down on the table to dryi and a igust of wind blew it away. 4 passing dog swallowed the note, and the gentleman detained the animal, whojse collar happened to bear its masterfa name.) Indignant at his loss, the owrier of the note sued the dog's master fori 100 francs, the value' of ;the note. There was much legal hair splitting, but at length the court ordered the owner of the dog to pay, the money.! Another French case was that against a Paris hairdresser, who Was sued by a lady for 60, being the! price of her damaged locks, f The fair claimant had used the hairdresser's wash,' which was said to restore fallen locks, but the result in this case was jo burn the hair off com pletely. The point was the liability of rae nairoresser, and the court awarded ' the lady 8. - j . j Applications :f or injunctions often raise curious points. Not long ago an injunction was granted to restrain an officer in the life guards from keeninor horses in a London drawing room, the ground of objection being the noise which the animals made, which annoyed tne neighbors. The offending officer is now in a lnnatid asylum. j J There was a fight not long ago in one of the London courts between a barrel organ and a piano, an injunction being claimed to restrain a gentleman I from keeping ah oraran. It HAAmnrl that tho offender was antjoyed by jhis next door neighbor's piano, and to avenge himself he obtained a barrel ore an. which he played at all times of the day. I The question of the ''liberty of the subject.,' of course, came np, but the court de cided that, if an Englishman's house is his castle, it is not a fit place for a bar rel organ that never stops, and the organ received strict instructions to remain silent, on the ground that the owner evi dently intended io create a nuisance. mt . t i . ' m t a . ins mantes vaiue oi a congn was tne question submitted to the1 Birmingham county court A barrister sued a rail way company for 50 for discomfort suffered by smoking being allowed in a waiting room at a station and in non smoking carriages. The smoking aggra vated the barrister's congh, and he was awarded 10. I i ' A queer point arose in the revision court at Nottingham. While the court was sitting a yohng collier named All- cock killed his wife in the most delib erate manner and afterward ' confessed his crime. An application was made that Allcock's name should be struck off the register.' "Why?" queried the' barrister, receiving the answer,! "Be cause he is a -murderer.,' "That re mains to be proved, " said the barrister, and the name remained on the roll. The finding of lost property has often given rise to curious points of law. A workman who found a valuable ring in a London theater claimed the return of the ring from the proprietors, who had taken possession of it She court, how ever, rejected hig claim,- as the ring had been picked up while the man was ful filling his duties i as a servant At first sight this decision appears to be incon sistent with that! arrived at some years ago in a case in which a chimney sweep sued a jeweler for a precious stone. The sweep had found a brooch on his rounds, which he took .to the jeweler, who ex tracted a precious stone and substituted a worthless . imitation. On this being discovered, the jeweler replied to the sweep's demand! for the return of his stone that the stone did not belong to the sweep, as he had found it, the infer ence being that; he could, therefore, steal it with impunity. The court, how ever, held otherwise, and the sweep re covered his jewel. Eastern supers titi tion gave rise to a singular argument in a Chinese court not long ago, I A Chinaman had been sent to prison, and, according to cus tom, the authorities prodeeded to out off his pigtail whereupon the prisoner ap plied for an injunction on the ground that without hia pigtail he could not en ter the kingdom of heaven. Alter much legaTquarreling the court decided that there is no religion in prison, and that the prisoner must share the fate of his comrades, whatever the result in the world to come.

New York, September, 15. Cctton made a steady start to-day at a small loss on near positions and 'an advance of 2 to 8 points oa the later months. karly cables were disappointing, but later advices showed pronounced re cuperative energy in the English mar ket, which recovered 3 to 8 bC points from the lowest of the "season and closed at a net gain of 2 points. The local market, after the first call, braced up on this, showing a net gain of 8 to 5 points. Later the market was menaced by notices under which September con tracts were especially weak, declining from 6.99 to 86 and closing at 6.88 to 93. lanuary, the most active month in the list, declined from 6.83 to 84 and closed at 6.84 to 85. At the close of the busi ness the tone-was barely steady, with, September 6 points lower, and other months 1 to 8 points net higher. Sell ing was checked by reports that yellow fever was spreading in the South, with possibility of closing; the ports and re ducing the movement. ' New York. Sept. 15. Evening.
