The thermometer registered 8 above ero Saturday morning, Fegruary 3, he coldest weather here since j^ebri uary 14, 1899, when the mercury fell o 8 below. There was a change for he warmer Sunday and up to Sun lay night, which developed into &i 3udden and unexpected rain while >eople were at church without unbrei- j as. Then there was another shift | n the weather, the mercury falling I 14 degrees during Sunday night ana' egistering 10 above zero Monday j norning. Many people were caught | .mawares uy uic suuucu i :om:n<r so swiftlv after warm and an-' o seasonable weather. There was a bursting of many wa- , :er pipes and explosions of cocking j ranges. Among those who underwent the experience of ranse explosions! were Dr. Harms, Messrs. Hagooct: ?larv and Duncan Jchncon, probablv j others. .Of -Vlr. Duncan's range a piece about as large as a hat was; Ta nthpr ranees were badly damaged. j The explosion at the home cf Mr. i Jno. C. Goggans, Jr.. was in a fire back j in the fire place. The cook made a j narrow escape, as she was just leav-; ing the tire place when the explosion, ?ame, she having moved a little out i Dt' the way. As it was, a flying pie?e j .lit her on the arm. Bits from the ex- j plosion tore holes in the walls and i broke windows. There were doubtless other explo- j 5ions. There is no telling how many pipes burst, there "being so many at once that for "a good part .of the time all that Homer Schumpert's the hands could do was to cut thf water off. Out in the country among the damage done was the bursting of the water tanks on the premises of Messrs. B. L. Dominick and W. I. Her bert.

Lino'Jln TVO'iV1 "Sever Have Passed ao Efficiency Test, There is an editorial in the Febru ary issue of the Womin s Home Com panion in which the writer says: "We shudder to think what the ver dict of th efficiency experts woulu be upon Lincoln. Why, the man had no sense of money at all!?and to get the money is, of course, the chief pur pose and end of efficiency. "He had worked hard for an aver age lifetime before he was elected to the P^e-idenov. Yet at his inaugura tion his entire fortune consisted of liis house and lot in Springfield and a little wild land in Iowa, granted to Ivm for his services in the Black Hawk War. A few years later he is reported to have said: "I now have nUoyt t n thousand dollars. I hope before I die to increase it to twenty thousand dollars, which is all the money any one man ought to want.* "He seemed a^tuaPy to have had the id-a that money is merely .incidental to the business of living, not nearly so importapt as friendship, or a sense of humor, or a clear conscience. He assum d that after a man had enougn to pay his debts, and attain a reason able degree of independence, it was useless, and even a trifle absurd, for him to seek to pile up a great for tune. iA> more hopelessly inefficient point of view, of course, could hardly be imagined." AMAZING SPEED OF BULLETS Missiles From Modern Rifles Travel Faster Than Sound. London Answers. In the firing line it has been no ticed often that bullets traveling at high speed produce two sounds. A man fired at from about 400 yards hears first a vicious crash. That is the bullet passing. A little later tb repon oi me rice comes aiong. The speed of sound has, in fact, been beaten by the ?peed of \ the riile bnllets. Modern military rifle bul lets, when firedy travel at from two thousand to three thousand feet in one second. Sound can travel only at 1,100 feet a second. / S"> it happens that wja?n a man woo is nreu ai nearn lue reporr 01 a rifle he knows he is safe?-at least from that particular shot. It is naturally at long range that' the two distinct sounds are most no ticeable. At a range of 1,000 yards a L'Uii.t aiii\OS cic ituaC o. acvuiiU, , and sometimes more, in advance oi the report. The sound of -the flying bullet is! catised by a vacuum at its rear. The; air thrown fiercely bi:<*k from th*i; nose of the projectile travels round and rushes to tne rear, as water to! the stern of a fast moving boat. Thus a crash is produced, or, in j certain cases?a kind of whining, snarl, like no other sound on earth. I SPECIAL NOTICES FOR SALE?3 mules, 1 one-horse i wagon, with harness. Anne 0. Ruff.
