RICHARD MANSFIELD THURSDAY
NIGHT.
Richard Mansfield will present
at the Grand opera house next
Thursday night his new plav
“The Story of Rodion the Student.
A dramatic paper says: “Mr.
Mansfield has been seen in this
city in a variety of roles each of
which in his hands was portrayed
as well as any living actor could
do. He overdoes nothing but Im-
personates his role with that ex-
actness of detail that powter of
conception and minuteness of exe-
cution that stamps a finished
actor. Nothing which can add to
the vividness or realism of his
work is overlooked. A gesture a
trivial movement a glance of the
eve each is turned to the best ad-
vantage. His histrionic ability is
by no means narrowed down to any
special line of work. While some
of his admirers may think he is
better in one character than an-
other there is no question but that
he is a distinct success in every-
thing. He is perhaps today the
best actor on the stage.”

On account of the work of con-1
cretiug San Pedro ditch on Main
plaza an exhaust pipe of the cold
Storage company running Into
the ditch was plugged up this
morning and the steam having no
other vent burst the pipe under

ARMY NEWS.
Reposted Specially For The Liqht.
Private Krueger company B
Eighteenth Infantry tried at Jef-
ferson barrack for desertion and
found not guilty of desertion but
guilty of absence without leave
was sentenced to one month’s im-
prionment and a tine of twenty
dollars.
The officers of the garrison agree
with the secretary of war in his
views on prize drills. They say
that the influence of prize drills
in the national guard have been
very bad and they are pleased the
secretary has expressed himself on
the subject.
The following transfers are an-
nounced in the Twenty-third in-
fantry stationed at? Fort Clark:
Capt. Pratt Bto K; Capt. Cowles
Kto B.
The senate passed a bill during
the week giving the widow of the

The unexecuted portion of the
sentence of Private R. Sporelder

The secretary of war forwards
the following letter to the com-
mander of the national guard of
Missouri:
Sir: I am desired by the secre-
tary of war to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your letter of the 26th ult.
in regard to detail of officers of the
army to act as judges of competi-
tive prize drills and to say that
while officers have been permitted
or authorized to act as judges
of such drills they have not
been ordered or detailed to
perform such services. The
secretary realizes that even this
practice is of no benefit to the
great body of the national guard
and is liable to have a bad effect
and therefore decides that it will
be discontinued hereafter.
Very respectfully
W. P. Hall

After Capital Honors.
Jackson. J an. 20.—There is a new
competitor in the field for the state
capital. It proposes to outbid any
other little town and to make Can-
ton hustle if it proposes to get
the state house. The town which
seeks to secure the capital is Crys-
tal Springs and the movement is a
combined effort of the citizens of
Crystal Springs the Chautauqua
association and the Camp Meeting
association. They have a beauti-
I ful site for a state house at the
camp meeting grounds. They have
a twenty acre lake and they pro-
pose erecting a $20000 hotel and to
make the place a summer resort
as well as a state capital. The
matter is in the hands of some of
I the legislators from the lower sec-
tions of the state and they say the
offer is a bona fide one and will be
pushed for all it is worth.

Cotton Exchange Clearing House.
New York Jan. 20.—A meeting
of the members of the New York
Cotton Exchange has been called
for January 27 to consider the
adoption of amendments looking
to the establishment of a clearing
house in the Exchange for the ad-
justment of balances on settled
contracts. Similar amendments
were introduced two years ago
and were defeated mainly because
they did not provide for clearings
on Saturday. Such clearings are
provided for In the new amend-
ments to the by-laws and other
objectionable features have been
eliminated. The amendments pro-
vide that all contracts for future
delivery shall be binding upon the
members and that all clearance of
same shall be made at a bld price
posted by the superintendent at
the opening of the Exchange every
morning.
IN OLD TIMBB
People overlooked the importance
of permanently beneficial effects
and were satisfied with transient
action; but now that it is general-
ly known that Syrup of Figs will
permanently overcome habitual
constipation well-informed people
will not buv other laxatives which
act for a time but finally injure
the system.
The street commissioner ex-
pended the sum of $479.10 in his

FOR LAND OR WATER.
Life-Saving Bicycle Device Invent-
ed by a New Yorker.
Addition of a Buoy Propeller and Rodder
Tumi a ■■Bike” Into a Launch-
Very Useful at Summer Bath-
Ins Resorts.
He who rides a bicycle along quiet
country roads or over dusty city boule-
vards little thinks of the possibility of
his wheel from an inventor’s standpoint.
Suggest to the ordinary cyclist that his
“bike” with a few extra appliances can
be made use of in rescuing foolhardy
bathers or—a more severe test still—-
carry life lines in the teeth of the howl-
ing storms to shipwrecked vessels and
he will shrug his shoulders and say
“impossible.” Yet this is exactly the
new use to which it is proposed to put
the bicycle.
This so-called “land and water bi-
cycle” is the idea of Dr. Charles Edward
Ougley of New York whose genius in
the line of inventing marine appliances
is attested by the formal recognition
and adoption of various devices by the
United States navy. This peculiar bi-
cycle is intended for the use of life-sav-
ing stations and the general pa trying
of the coasts where danger is greatest
from shipwrecks or at the various sum-
mer resorts where prompt action is
sometimes necessary in saving the lives
of reckless bathers.
It is often necessary in work of this
character to navigate both land and
water as sometimes rescuing can be
done with greater facility if a portion
of the distance can be covered on land
to bring the rescuer as nearly as pos-
sible opposite the point of danger be-
fore entering the water.
Recognizing this fact. Dr. Ougley
said to a New York Herald man in re-
gard to this device:
“I have therefore selected a bicycle
for this purpose as it is adapted to land
use adding to it a propelling as well
as a steering apparatus. When in use
Oh land it is propelled in the usual
way run down to the water’s edge and
into the water and on entering the
water a lever is moved connecting the
pedal crank with the propeller and at
once the bicycle becomes a small
launch capable of propelling the rider
at a good speed.
“The steering arrangement is gov-
erned by the handles of the bicycle.
BICYCLE FOR LAND AND- WATER.
which move a rudder the feet revolv- I
ing the propeller. The whole is buoyed I
by an inflated rubber tube surrounding I
the rider attached to the machine and I
preventing any possible capsizing of I
the contrivance the weight being be- I
low as the ballast of any launch or I
vessel.
“All the extra parts are very light” I
continued the doctor “not adding more
than 25 pounds to the weight of an or- I
dinary bicycle. The propeller and
steering gear will be made of alumin- I
nm and the circular rubber tube I
which when filled with air by means of
a pneumatic pump forms the buoyant I
feature of the machine is more bulky I
than weighty. The handles or ropes
are provided alongside of the buoy I
which supports the machine for a per- I
son to take hold of when in the water I
and being rescued and he cannot in I
any way while holding on to these I
handles interfere with the working of
the appliance.
“This contrivance is most servicea-
ble for carrying lines to a disabled ves-
sel as it will live and can be propelled
through the roughest surf or sea there
being nothing to engulf or capsize.
At night a small storage battery and
incandescent lamp as a signal may be
made a portion of the equipment. The
rider can be encased in a light water-
proof rubber suit covering him up to
the neck.
“If it is found that the various por-
tions of the bicycle are subject to the
action of the salt water it may be kept
immersed when not in use in a tank of
specially prepared oil thereby lubri-
cating as well as preventing rust.
This would only apply to life saving
stations where machines would be a
greater part of the time in the water
when in use.
“The extra equipment may be applied I
to any. bicycle so constructed as to
fold in a compact manner when not in
use in fording streams or navigating in
water together with land travel.”
Mtn* Conjcre«f»lon»l Metaphors.
During an exciting debate in the
house of representatives the members
sometimes indulge in mixed metaphors.
The National Tribune prints these
specimens: A member referring to
one of his colleagues said: “The gen-
tleman like a mousing owl is always
putting in his oar where it is not want-
ed.” In another speech occurred this
expression: “The iron heel of stern
necessity darkens every hearthstone.”
And another member in a very forcible
and dramatic manner asked the house
this startling question; “Would you
■tamp out the last flickering embers of
a life that is fast ebbing*awav ?”
Cause and Effect.
Success can only be assured by aoingback
to the cause In the treatment of disease.
Many Doctors can see theleffeots only such
as are visible to the eye and treat the sym-
ptoms but while the cause exists a cure is
impossible and herein lies the secret of so
many failures. The skilled Specialist devotes
all his study to a few diseases and become as
familiar with them as you do with the faces
of your family. When he sees a Skin Dis-
ease he knows Just where the cause Ues and
Just what to do.
If you have exposed yourself to disease and
there appears a suspicious sore to bis ex-
perienced eye It becomes plain whether it Is a
poison In the blood or a local trouble.
Bo it is with Loss Manhood Gonorrhoea
Syphilis Early Vices and other Diseases of
this class.
DR. CLEMENS has devoted years to these
diseasesand possesses skill and methods of
treatment unexcelled.
He can cure Stricture without cutting dil-
ating or electricity and without pain or loss
of a day from business. A new and wonder-
ful method.
