J. NJ. Whiteman, and E. W. Winter,
both of the Omaha line returned late last
night from Chippewa Falls. In CONVEX
sation with reporter at the Metropolitan,
Mr.. Whiteman stated that the trouble at
Chippewa Falls had been amicably adjust
ed for the time being, and that the Omaha
road would proceed at once with its track
construction. The trouble arose out of
distractions being placed on that lines

yesterday President Winter had a confer
ence with General Manager Finney, at
which it was decided that the questions
involved would be determined by the
courts, and the contesting parties would
abide by the decision rendered. The track
to Eau Claire would now be pushed to
completion. and no further trouble is an

MAN THAT SUFFERED MENTAL
AND PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT
YEARS PRoCLAIMs HIS HAPPI-
NESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but
when that and a physical ailment
combine, it is simply terrible. Such
was the condition of Geo. w. Tramp
ton, OF Huntington, w. Va, for
eight years. He was a sufferer OF
necroses; that is, the leg-bone at the
ankle was inflamed and mortified.
which caused a running sore. He
SAYS: "Pieces of bone the size of a
silver three cent piece came out OF
the sore on my leg. The discharge
from the sore was almost continual,
and | was unable to walk. For
eight years have been doctoring.
/ have been under the treatment of
a physician at Newport, KY, for a
year; another at Burlington, Ohio,
attended me for three years, and a
doctor here at Huntington worked
with me for a long time. None OF
them did me any good, and they all
finally said my case was hopeless
A few months ago l commenced
trying PERUN-., and now am well

have perfect use of my limb. Words
are inadequate to describe the men
tai agony / suffered when l thought
/ was always to be a sufferer. The
thoughts of the aflliction caused mt
more distress than the sore, so that
the two combined was indeed ag
ony. Being now free from both men
tai and physical suffering, my hap
piness knows no bounds. PERUNA
has furnished me that which l pray
ed for during my eight years OF suf
fering."

"Eating Crow

This well known phrase, which is
SO often applied in political articles
and speeches to those who are con-
strained to support a candidate
whom they do not like, or have pre-
yiously opposed, came into vogue
through an anecdote published in
the Knickerbocker Magazine over a
quarter Of century ago:
1t was story of a summer board
ing-house keeper on the Hudson and
of an indignant patron. Whenever
the latter ventured to suggest that
the spring chicken was rather tough,
or that the roast beef must have
been cut from the cows hoofs, he
was directly told that he was entire
ly s'too pertickerler," and that the
autocrat of the table and the house
could eat anything, even crow.
This settled the matter for the time
being, but the boarder convinced
against his will was of the same
opinion still. at all events, in regard
to the quality of the edibles placed
before him. So often was the re-
mark, 81 kin eat anything; ! kin eat
crow" brought down on his devo-
ted head that he finally resolved to
try the old man. He went out gun
ming one day and succeeded in bag
ging very fine, fat, old black crow.
He went into the kitchen and by
dint of soft words and filthy lucre,
induced the cook to allow him to
prepare that crow for the table. He
boiled it nicely, and it wasn't such
a bad looking dish after all. His
heart misgave him; the flinty old
cuss would eat it after all. The
cook was a Scotch woman and used
snuff. He borrowed all she had and
sprinkled it literally over the crow,
gave her another simmer, and then
taking it on salver brought it be-
fore his host saying as he sat it
down, "Now, my dear sir, you have
said thousand times, if you have
said it once, that you can eat crow.
Here is one very carefully cooked
Is is said that the old man turned
pale for a moment. but braced him
self against the back of his chair,
and with II kin eat crow" he began
cutting good mouthful. He swal-
lowed it. and then preparing for a
second onslaught, he looked his
boarder straight in the eye, while he
calculated, "I've eaten crow" and
took his second portion. He lifted
his hands mechanically, as if for a
third onslaught, but dropped them
quickly over the region of the stom
ach, and, rising hurriedly and un-
steadily, retreated for the door, NUT
tering as he went, "but dang me If
/ banker arter it."

A CASE THAT PUZZLED THE
WHOLE FACULTY.-Mrs Milo Ing
rum gave the names of some Of the
most reputable physicians in the two
cities (Pittsburg and Allegheny, to
whom she had paid large sums of
money for treatment, but she rapid
ly grew worse. She was then taken
to the most reputable physicians and
surgeons in New York, but with no
better success. They had all pro-
nounced it cancer, and declared she
must die. The flesh of her breast
was eaten away down to her ribs;
the breast bone was laid bare, and
the disease made its way upwards,
causing the breast to become detach-
ed from the wall of the chest, hang
ing loose from above. See page 26,
of DR.. Hartman's "Ills of Life"

Fire Appliances =.

Some people seem to think that if
we had a steam fire engine, all we
would have to do would be to point
its nozzle at fire to subdue it in
stantIy. We have no patience with
such urreAecting people. There are
many accessories to this costly ma.
chine which must be provided before
it is of service. The first OF these is
water. Without a plentiful supply OF
water, a hand engine, Of the two, is
much preferable, inasmuch as it may
be brought into service 80 much
more quickly than the steamer.
Without any water, as has been the
case at both the late fires after
twenty minutes pumping, squirt
gun would be quite as effective as
either. Then with a steamer, we
must have an engineer constantly
employed and fire always burning
