1t seems that the order changing
the train time on the c., NJ. and St. P.
railway, issued by our contemporary
last week, had not been decided upon
by the managers of the road. Hence,
its publication in, the Republican was,
to say it softly, premature. We believe
that On effort is being made to procure
this change and we hope that it will be
successful. By the way, why cannot
such change be made as will permit Of
connections at Winona or Minnesota
City with trains on the Northwestern
road? This would be great conven-
fence to the travelling public.

was Of a blush tint. Many of these
punctures were not healed, but
Sanford declared he was totally de-
void Of feeling. One might bore
into his flesh with a red-hot iron,
he said, and he would not feel it,
and as proof of this he showed scars
on his legs, some as large as a silver
half dollar, and told how he got
them. 1t appears that adversity in
its fullest measure came upon him.
He lost his hypodermic syringe, and
so procured common syringe.
This he could not insert into the
flesh without first cutting a hole.
He used to take a razor and cut a
cash in his thigh and then with a
scissors bore a hole into the flesh,
into which he would insert the
syringe and inject the morphine.
All the fleshy parts Of his body
which he could conveniently get at
have been cut and punctured over
and over again.
During the last two years." said
Sanford, al have taken over sixty
grains Of morphine a day. have
often taken over a drachm in one
day. One drachm of morphine is
equal to more than five hundred
grains of opium"
Being asked to explain his pres.
ent predicament, Sanford said that
when he lost every means of making
money he sold everything he had
from time to time to procure NOR
phine. When everything was gone
he prolited a while on credit with
druggists and dealers with whom he
had acquaintance. When this
means of getting the drug was de-
MED him, he stole what he could
and with the proceeds got what he

sons of Hortense, and particularly
for the Prince Louis Napoleon, who
was five years his junior, and over
whom he acquired a lasting influ-
ence by the sincerity and warmth
of his affection and by his great
natural good sense and sound
Judgment. DR.. Conneau was with
the mother of Louis Napoleon
when she died, and stood by her
son when he received her last bless
ing. From that time he devoted
himself absolutely to the prince.
He was with him in the affair of
Boulogne and with NJ. de Mon
tholon accompanied him to Ham,
shared his Imprisonment, and in
May, 1916, planned and CHIEFLY
carried out his escape. When the
empire was re.established DR.. Con-
neau naturally enough was ap-
pointed first physician Of the en-
pire. He was three times elected
to the legislative body, and in No
vember, 1867, he was made a sem
ator to the empire. He had re-
ceived the ribbon of the Legion in
1S49, and after passing through
the other grades he was made in
August, 1867, a grand cross. He
was a member of the Council Gen
eral of Bastia, in Corsica, and a
member of the Imperial Academy
of Medicine. Since the fall Of the
empire and the death of the en-
peror DR.. Conneau has resided
chiefly in Paris, passing much time,
however, at Chiselhurst. He at
tended the emperor in his last i'll
ness, and it has been widely ru-
mored that if his advice had not
been oyerruled the life of the exiled
sovereign would probably have been
prolonged.

minister in the next county who
would sometimes become carried
away by his emotions, and would
sing an entire verse Of a long metre
hymn while holding a convert
under water; and although a stall
wart teamster who was thus treated
once fell from grace, and upsetting
his minister in the water held him
under until he was nearly drowned,
the reverend enthusiast was not
cured Of his careless habit. When,
therefore, Miss Wilson consented to
be baptized by the Plneyille minis
ter, she knew that she would be
treated in a considerate and skillful
manner, and the public knew that
the spectacle would he worth wit
Messing.
1t is very easy to say, now that
the affair is over, that Miss Wilson
ought to have left her cork leg at
home. In that case, however, she
would have been compelled either
to limp to the water on crutches or
to be carried thither by self-sacri-
fcing deacons. Moreover, her ap-
pearance in public without her GUS
tomary leg would have excited a
great deal of remark, which would
not only have shocked her sensitive
feelings but would have detracted
from the solemnity Of the scene.
When, in addition to these facts, we
remember that she was woman
residing in a country town, to which
champagne baskets rarely penetra-
ted, and was hence presumably ig-
norant of the scientific fact that
cork is light and buoyant, her neg.
leet to remove hOr cork prior to
baptism seems entirely excusable.
So long as the water was only two
feet, Miss Wilson, who weighed
fully two hundred pounds, managed
to wade toward the minister, but SC
soon as the latter took her hand
and led her into deeper water the
cork asserted its buoyancy and Mis-,
Wilson was suddenly reversed. The
minister, with much difficulty
placed her on her feet again, anC
rather surlily requesting her not t.
do that again, began to make t
brief and formal address. Before
he had spoken ten words Miss vii
son, with a wild shrek, fell back
ward, and her cork leg shot swift,
upon the surface. Perhaps this i
the point where a veil should b,
dropped. To finish the narratiy,
in as few words as possible, it ma,
be said that after half a dozen fu
tile efforts the attempt to baptiz
Miss Wilson was abandoned. Will
all his skill and strength, the min
lister could not counteract the effec
Of the cork leg, and could not keel
the convert right side up lOnl
enough to baptize her. She bore i
with patience until the ministe
called for fifty-six pound weight
with a view to ballasting her, whel
she Indignantly scrambled ashore
hastened home, and subsequent
4 joined the Presbyterians.

The Striker who started the Great

strike.
Chicago Tribuuo.l
A fireman named Ammon had
been discharged for good cause from
the service Of the Fort Wayne rail
road. In revenge he conceived the
idea of inaugurating a resistance to
the road in the form of a strike.
He went at the work coolly and de-
liberately. His scheme at first con.
templated engineers as well as fire
men and brakemen in a grand con-
certed movement, but the engineers
had already been on an unsuecess-
full strike, and besides were already
banded in brotherhood, governed
by regular code of laws, and act
ing only on its own motion, indie
pendent of all other trades unions.
He therefore confined his efforts to
the fremen, 5rakemen, conductors
and switchmen, and equipped with
a ritual and set of rules and by
laws similar to those Of the engi-
neers, he Travelled up and down the
eastern division of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, as well as the
Fort Wayne, organizing the train
men into secret societies, bound by
oath to resist the railroad COM
pany through the medium Of strikes.
Having accomplished his work so
far as these roads were concerned he
next essayed the Pennsylvania Gem
tral, and was succeeding so well in
his work that he enlarged his field
of labor and sent ont emissaries to
work the New York and Erie road.
He seems to have had a decided
faculty for organizing, and an in
telligence above the average class
Of workmen to which he belongs.
He gave promise of reaching the
same degree Of success at the head
of the fremen and brakemen that
Mr.. Arthur has achieved as the or
ganizer of the engineers in his
Brotherhood of the Foot board.
Had he succeeded, the strike would
have been much more formidable
than the event has proved. Before
he had completed his purpose, how.
ever, there was a premature explo-
sion in West Virginia, on the line
of the Baltimore and Ohio road, and
when he had laid the train on that
and other roads, it spread with
wonderful rapidly Everything
was opporiune. lie had prepared
the way, and the ten per cent. re-
duotion was the match that started
the ponlagration. The strike was
tho end he was aiming at, but it
came too soon. His plans were not
fully consummated, but when once
it start d, it was beyond his control.

well on my lease Monday, an she
flowed a stream of lie one hundred
feet high straight up for half an
hour. Then she kinder died down.
One of my drillers was standing
over the hole when she suddenly
squirted again, an blast my eyes if
it didn't take that driller right up
with it. The stream was a power
full one, you see, an he went up
one hundred feet. You've seen
those little balls as dance about on
top of those little squirting foun-
tains such as they have in the
cities? Yes; waal, that's the way
the thing acted, an there's that air
driller right up on top of that one
hundred fut column of crude lie,

a tanning mill. What do you think
of that 'un ?"

there ?"
About four days and four
nights" d"

this time. Doesn't he come down
to get something to eat ?"
Why, we uns just put a plate
of hash in this stream Of lie and it
takes it up to him, you see. And
it's mighty handy as he finds his
vituals already creased, and he
doesn't need any butter"
"But he must have frozen to
death by this time"
Why, man, we've sent him up
on the same stream bed and bed
ding, a small stove an wood, an
we're going to build him a small
house, and then he can live there
as comfortable as a prince"
His face was innocent of deceit as
piece of tanned leather, and when
he asked to have his name put
down as a deadhead subscriber for
information he had given, we didn't
have the heart to hurt his feelings.
