The trial ttuoughout was decorous. The

business there. All the court officers seemed
determined that there should be not the slighest
display of the spirit of revenge. The verdict
was received with dignity becoming so solemn a
matter. 1 he last lesson in proper government

SWIFT JUSTICE.
The trial of Leon Czolgosz for the murder of
President McKinley was brief. His ease was
culled last Monday morning at 9:30; his doom
was scaled last Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
From the opening of the case to the verdict of
the jury, less than 30 hours elapsed. Could
Justice White have accepted the prisoner's of
"guilty,' his trial would have lceii breifer still.
The verdict of murder in the first degree was
inevitable. The evidence of guilt was conclu
sive. The prisoner himself admitted his orime;
yes, boasted it. He left no opportunity for
defence other than that of insanity, and, though
counsel employed eminent alienists to determine
his :::ental condition, insanity was not establish
ed. Between mental irresponsibility and a mind
deranged by anarchy, there appears to have been
in the minds of tin; junior-;, a difference sufficient
to make the prisoner accountable for his crime.
Czolgosz being accountable, the verdict was cer
tain. The verdict was reached with exact eomoli-

Edward SCBBB, the most distinguished geologist
of that country, who, at the end of the last
semester of the university year, retired from the
chair of geology in the University of Vienna,
after a service of thirty-Hive years.
For nearly a half century Prof. SUBSfl has
contributed frequently to the literature of his
scientific specialty, but nearly all his studies and
writings have been prejtaratory to the production
of his great book "Das Antlitz der Erde" ("The
Face of the Earth"), in three volume, which he
was over eight years in writing. In this !ook
he rejects the plutonic theory of the origin of the
surface features of the earth by which mountains,
for example, are attributed to outbursts of the
fire forces in the interior of the earth; he believes
that volcanoes play a very subordinate part in
the formation ot mountains. He holds, with
many other geologists, that the elevations and
depressions of the rock surfaces are due primari
ly to the cooling and consequent shrinkage ot
the earth's crust, which results iu the breaking
of the strata and the uplifting or folding of the
rock masses. He accounts, on Ins theory, for
the raisings and sinkings of various parts of the
earth's crust that are known to lie still in pro
gress, and for the differing positions of the sea
edge in various geological epochs.
Science knows, of course, that this theory did
not originate with Prof. Si;ks.s. It has long
been held by many of the most eminent geolog
ists. The distinctive merit of his work in that
never before was so vast an array of evidence
adduced tending to substantiate the correctness harm
conditions. But in its tssentinl habits and
traits, the big, slinking, nearly uni-colored cat
seems to lie much the same everywhere, whether
living in mountain, open plain, or forest, under
arctic cold or tropic heat. When the settlements

swamp, or inaccessible mountain gorge, and
moves about ouly at night. Iu wilder regons
it not infrequently roams during the day and
ventures freely into the open. Deer are its
customary prey where they are plentiful, bucks,
does, and fawns being killed indifferently.
Usually tlied-.er is killed almost instantaneously,
but occasionally there is quite a scuffle, in which
the cougar may get bruised, though, as tar as I
know, never seriously. It is also a dreaded
enemy of sheep, pigs, calves, and especially colts,
and when pressed by hunger a big male cougar
will kill a full-grown horse or cow, moose or
wapiti. It is the special enemy of mountain
sheep. In 1886, while hunting white goats
north of Clarke's f rk of the Columbia, in a n.
gion where cougar were common, I found them
preying as freely on the goats as on the deer
It rarely catches antelope, but is ij nick to seize
rabbits, other small beasts, and even porcupines.
No animal, not even the wolf, is so rarely seen
or so difficult to get without dogs. Ou the
other hand, no other wild lcast ot its size and
power is so easy to kill by the aid of dogs .
There are many contradictions in its character.
Iike the Ameriian wolf, it is certainly very
much afraid of man; yet it habitually follows the
trail of the hunter or solitary traveller, dogging
his footsteps, itself always unseen. I have had
this happen to me personally. When hungry it

Some of the data he used and the conclusions

specialists who will come after him.

of the theory; and never before were proofs of frontjer settler should grow to regard almost
with superstition the great furtive cat which he
never sees, but of whose presence he is ever
aware, and of whose prowess sinister proof is
sometimes afforded by the deaths not alone of his
lesser stock, but even of his milch cow or saddle
horse.1 '
The cougar is as large, as powerful, and as
formidably armed as the Indian panther, and
quite as well able to attack man; yet the in
stances of its having done so are exceedingly
rare. The vast majority of the tales to this
effect are undoubtedly inventions. But it is
foolish to deny that such attacks on human
beings ever occur. From "With the Cougar

THE REAL COUGAR.
tABLES aside, the cougar is a very inter
esting creature. It it found from the cold,
Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217
West SSrd it., Minneapolis, Minn., M fol
lows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the
mall of my back and right side. It In
terfered often with my domestic and
social duties and I never supposed that
I would be cured, as the doctor's medi
cine did not seem to help me any.
"Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruaa and gave it
uch high praise that I decided to try it.
Although I started in with liUle faith, I
felt so much better In a week that I felt
encouraged.
"I took It faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy Indeed to be able to say
that I am entirely cured. Words faU to
express my gratitude. Perfect health

for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that

What used to be oalled female diseases
by the medical profession Is- now called
pelvic catarrh. It haa been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelrio organs are the causo of most cases
of female disease.
Dr. Hartman was among; the first of
America's great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years ho has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of those organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for theso cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
becomo the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using it and prais
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative sim
ply ; it cures by removing the cauao uf
female disease.
Dr. Hartman has probably cored more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. , He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
Miss Phoebe Cary Sheffield, writes
from Seguln, Texas, as follows:
"I have followed your directions and
treatment, and will always thank you
for your kindness. Your modicinc is the
only medicine that gave me relief from
heavy pains In my chest, on account of
which I could hardly rest at night. Sev

Mrs. William Kenning, Mt. Clemens,
Mich., writes:
"I am happy to be able to write you
that I am now again well. I was not
well for a year, and did not know what
ailed me. Last fall I got a bottle of Pe

Hartman for a book '111 of Life,' and he
luckily sent me a book about my dis

would follow his advice I would soon be

the Spaniah column. I did not see the
Brooklyn again until my attention waa
directed to her by the navigator call
ing to me: 'Look out, captain, for the
Texas.' I went on the port bridge,
where the navigator waa standing, and
I said, 'Where the devil Is the Texas?'
The navigator said, 'Here she Is, sir, In

Philip will look after the Texas.' I.

to see what had happened, and she was
then about a mile and a half forward
of tho port beam of the Iowa with the
Colon seven or elg-ht miles ahead amd

on tht firing was light, and I could see
the Urooklyn occasionally. The Brook

port quarter of the Colon. Well astern
of her was the Oregon, with the Vixen
off shore of the Brooklyn. The Iowa at
the time was directly In the wake of

Captain McCalla then resumed his
testimony. The witness said that he
had been present during a conference
of commanding officers on the Brook

May 29. Describing what took place,
he aald: "The commanding officers
were ordered on board the Brooklyn
on May 29. It was with regard to the
