The article in the last issue of the Telephone descriptive of the life of Robert T. Havens, who spent a lifetime on the study of "perpetual motion" contained mat
ter enough for a book of romance, f match was serious! v objected to bv
way fnd the entire train went down
into the water, not one passenger be
ing left to tell the story. It is only a wonder that more accidents do not occur, not that there are so few, when we think of the speed demanded f the trains by the traveling public. The quickest way to got there seems the object of every road and this is, like everything else, in answer to the wish of the public. I see ut the papers that Mrs. Mcintosh is contesting the will of her deceased father, W. C. DePauw.
Sirs. Mcintosh is the oldest daughter of DePauw and lives in Salem. She married Andrew Mcintosh, who at the time was a poor man and a brakeman on the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago road. The
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for," says the scripture, "but
the evidence of things not seen," and it would be a fitting motto to write over the tomb of the man who gave a long life to the development of such a great theory and died wishing he had only one more day to finish his work. I know of two other persons in Bloomington who are striving to solve this mystery and each has "machines" that will all but go. About the time of the war, at Orleans, this State, a great effort was made to perfect perpetual motion. A house was built very high, and inside it was built a great wheel that in circling around went down into the ground. The outer rim, or tire, was made hollow and by means of letting iron balls roll into tiie rim from the top, force the wheel down and then fall out, it was hoped that such a velocity would follow as to send the wheel the other half around when the balls were out. Everything was ready ; the balls were let in the wheel," but it was such an immense affair and the weight so heavy that about the fourth revoluticn the wheel landed out in an adjoining field. So enthusiastic did a number of persons
about Orleans become that they mortgaged their property and spent large fortunes. But as heretofore and as ever sinceit wis a failure. Will the work of man ever operate of its own natural force? Steam has been put to a thousand different uses ; electricity has been taken from the heavens to cairy our messages ; wesend the human voice on errands for hundreds of miles ; yet is perpetual motion impossible?
In these times of latter-day journalism, the country newspaper is fast taking rank beside the citv weekly with all its metropolitan airs. It is a healthy sign of the times. The county paper is becoming," as it should be, strictly a local paper. By this I do not mean that it is filled up with the merest kind of trash, as "the most charming and beautiful Miss So-and-so7', when a young lady comes to town whose father subscribes for the paper ; or "Mr. So-and-so, the most popular officer in the county since the war and growing more in 'favor every day," has just returned from somewhere, all on account of the Mr. So-and-so having some official favors to distribute. The public tire of such nonsense; they know it is only endured by the editor for some cheap favors ; it tends to lower the tone of the newspaper business in general. The people like gossip; we are all more or less guilty of this fault; but they want the news above anything else. The successful county paper is finding this out ; it leaves the discussion of the tariff, infant baptism and the like to those who make that their business, and instead gives the local happenings of town and county. Kt Why will people continue repeating an injurious stor about their neighbors that at best is doubtful of truth? It does them no good and only injures somebody. But this seems to be a pleasure to ttome people. They do not stop to think that every cruel word causes a heartache to somebody whether innocent or guilty. Why not stop to investigate a story of doubtful authority before repeating it, if we must tell it? And how often the chickens come home to roost ! The Illinois catastrophe reported in all the papers in the last few days, in fatality exceeds all other accidents on record. But this is not to be wondered at when we consider the wonderful progress in travel: the public in this fast going age demand speed on the rail as well as elsewhere, and when mishaps do occur there can be but one result. Next to the Illinois disaster comes the AshUbula wreck, in 1876, that occurred near Ashtabula, Ohio. A passenger train was crossing a bridge one cold December night, when the iron structure gave away and the entire train except the engine went down about sixty feet; the train was soon on fire and near 100 were killed and injured. The railroad company soon discovered that they were clearly to blame for the condition of the bridge, and without suit paid $10,000 damages for each death. The worst accident on the rail ia Europe was in Scotland about five years ago; a train was running over the SiverTay when a section of the bridge gave
DePauw and was secret, but when
the old gentleman found it out he was very angry. For some time his daughter did not visit the old home, but of late years she would go occasionally. But the father could never forgive her and when he came to make his will could only find it in his heart to ghv her about $5,000 out of $5,000,000. So with him poverty seems to have been not only a misfortune but a crime, certainly a weak spot in what the world called a good old man. It must be a strange feeling that would come over a man with such a conscience
as DePauw that would make him seek revenge in the last will and
testament. No matter how noble his works of life or how wide-spread his
charity, this action toward his firstborn will always be a blemish to his
:

THE OLD UNLIABLE
Mext year will be the presidential campaign and it is important that the Republicans of Monroe county do their duty. That there is now factions in the party can not be denied, and with any show of success this difficulty must be overcome. There is only one way to overcome it and that is to nominate men who have nothing whatever to do with existing troubles who are entirely
clear from criticism from an
ter. frirst or all the Chairman of the Central Committee must be a man selected by the unanimous voice of the party, and who all can follow, for without this his work will be fruitless, no matter how great the effort. I make these observations at this time so that Republicans who think more of the party than they do of themselves may think over the matter calmly. A divided army has never yet been successful.
