The campaign is now opened and from this tlmq until election day the voice of the speaker will be heard in the land. restored the dead to life The startling announcement comes from Dr. Littlefield, of Alexandria, Indiana, that after a series of experi- which have covered a number of years, he is able, by scientific application of a process which he will give to the world, to restore life incases where the tissues have not been destroyed by accident or wasting disease. The doctor ments claims for himself that he has brought back to life animals which have been drowned or suffocated, and that too after rigor mortis had set in in a most pronounced character. Not only animals but human beings. The doctor cites one cose of a boy who had been drowned by going through a hole in the ice and had been under water an hour before the body was recovered. Physicians worked over him for two hours inore and then, when they had pronounced the boy dead beyond all human aid, he took the case and restored animation and life within fifteen minutes. 'Aside from the importance of this discovery, which means much to humanity, if all that is claimed is correct, this statement of the physician raises a very interesting question. It is this: When a man dies, if he has a soul, at what period after death does the spirit forsake the body? Rigor mortis is that stiffening which comes after death and is defined as the rigidity of the muscles that occurs at death and lasts until decomposition sets in. It is due to the formation of myosin by the coagulation of the contents of the individual muscle fibers. Now we have all supposed that when a man died the soul took its flight as soon as the last breath left the body. And we have become accustomed to the idea that when a man was once dead, he was as dead, five minutes after the breath left the body as he would be in one hundred years afterward. But here comes this, doctor, with a new scheme. It would seem that, under certain circumstances he must be dead quite a while before it becomes impossible to recall him. In that event does the soul really forsake its earthly tabernacle, or does it remain within until decomposition sets in? Or does it flit aroundln the thin air wait- - 9 g BIG CONFERENCE S AT E OF JACKETS Of good new style, guaranteed quality lining, Si and 24 inches long, well shaped, XX quality at 920.00.

Does the soul ot man wait beside the habitation of clay it once occupied until it sees all hope depart when the undertaker begins embalming the remains? Or what is the plan of action pursued? Really and truly this man of science has created doubt about the question of immortality. This idea of a mans spirit hovering around the remains of the departed until it sees him begin to spoil does not look right. Will some one learned in theology and science please come to the rescue.

The Tribune of last Sunday contained the following gruesome editoiial pun: ''The elder Mortensen says he cannot live long at this altitude, which may also be true of his son To my mind, Mr. Editor, of all the nnseasonable, inappropriate, inhuman, merciless, to which I might add nauseating and disgusting attempts at fun that I have ever seen or heard of, this is just a little the worst. " Whatever may he the real facts in the case of the murder of. young 11 ay,: .it is none the less a fact that l'eter Mortensen, the son in question, is dearly paying the penalty; and I am not offering any excuses for him when I say that, while we all shrink with horror at the thought of a crime so cold and. cruel as liis, yet there still remains with us a feeling of pity and regret for him or any other man whose heart is so basely perverse as to prompt it. At all events, sure no man through whose veins there courses any warm blood; in whose breast there remains one drop of the milk of human kindness, or in whose head there dwells a single idea of propriety or fitness, would for one moment consider this a proper subject for jokes or puns.
