They will be very conve- Dient to both the public and the employees of the road, as indicat- ing on the approach of train whether 1t is passenger or freight. The Staunton Vindica- tor, in commenting on this innO- vation in railroading, says that the whistle can be heard at a great distance. A brakeman on one of the night trains coming from Staunton to the west the other night, says when he got home his wife told him she had heard the whistle at distant 6 in the still night air. had gotten up, made a fire, and cook his sup per by the time her h husband reached home.

A Lightning Wrestler

A N0dltny IulueI UT tiltS ctdte who, during some blasting opera tions had the misfortune 10 lose hIs right arm, had it replaced with an artificial limb, which, ir point of artistic skill and mecha- nical perfection, rivaled nature herself. The parts were so nicely adjusted that it could be manipu lated without any apparent effort on the part of the wearer who could press tenderly the hand of fair maiden, or grip the brawny fist of an Oregonian lum herman until he hawIed with plan. But there was an indefinable something lacking. No matter how cordially he gras- ped the hand of friend. or how lovingly he retained the hand of a fair acquaintance, the greeting seemed tame and flat. What what was the matter? Was it true that in the grasp of hands a magnetic current is formed bringing the parties en-rapport with each other? If so, could not this current be artificially applied? "Ha! Stored Elec- trIcity! Eureka" He had foun d it.
 His generous offer of 10000 quickly brought about the desi- red result. The arm was com plete with its magnetic attach ment. By an ingenious arrange ment the force of the current could be governed at will; he was able to send an ecstatic thrill to the anatomy of a frien q, or shake the life out of a enemy.
 His first victim was an unsuS- pecting chinaman, who had been in his employ for several year.
 "Hello, John, come here and shake hands,"
 The sleek celestial came for ward with a smile that was "chIid-l Ike and bland"
 Never before had such an honor been conferred upon him. He was surprised; his surprise soon ripentd into astonishment and by rapid stages as the power was applied, into dismay and frenzy, and when at last he was released from the vice-like grip, his long silken cue was standing on end like the tail of a mad hull.
 The next experiment was upon an old acquaintance.
 "Hello, Brown, old fellow, how are you, shake"
 "Blood and thunder! what kind of a shake do you call that?'
 Cordial enough, wasn't it, old boyw
 "Well, yes; if there is any thing cordial in an earthquake; or shock from an electric bat tery, it was most internally cor dial"
 "Now Pm going to let you into the secret. Few people, as you are aware. known that my right arm is amputated. Tve had an artificial one made, inside of which is enclosed a powerful battery, the force of which I can control at will. Now, then, if you will lead the innocents to the slaughter we can have lheaps Of fun. Do you twig?"
 "Yes, 1 tumble" "You are acquainted with the sporting fraternity"
 "Yes. There's Muldoon and his crowd over there now"
 "Good. Introduce as green horn from the country"
 "All right, come along."
 Browns goes to MuIdoon and whispers something in his ear, when both advance toward our hero, whom we will call Smith.
 "Mr. Muldoon, permit me to introduce my friend MT. Smith of SmithviIle.
 They shake. Muldoen looks surprised and angry.

greater reduction in the price of cloth

payment of notes and interest, however,

over a third more wheat to liquidate
such accounts.

In the matter Of annexing range
gixty-six to some one Of the bordering
organized conntiesit is but just and
right that the people of that territory
should have the privilege of making
the selection. Much as we desire to
gee the range annexed to Brown county
we would be the first to oppose any
movement coercing the will of the peo-
pie most directly interested. We de-
sire to see the question settled fairly
and squarely upon its merits, and to
that end trust the legislature at its
approaching session will give the peo.
pie of the range power to make the
decision.

Indianapolis Journal: The most
exasperating feature Of this partisan re-
fusal to admit Dakota to the estate of
statehood is the fact that an adminis-
tration hostile to its politics and to its
admission will appoint its judges and
executive, and it is by no means certain
that the possession Of the power to
hold a few more offices at its disposal
is one of the actuating causes of the
refusal to grant the petition Of the
people who have redeemed Dakota
from the savages and from her wild
plains into vast wheat-felds, from
which millions Of dollars are annually
added to the National wealth.

the vote of New Hampshire or Vermont.
IL IS 10000 more than Rhode Island,
Delaware and Nevada combined
twice as much as that Of Colorado, and
half as large as Oregon. Yet Dakota
is not a state. Her vote indicates a
population Of half million, which
would entitle her to two Senators,
three Congressman and five Presi-
Dental electors. Dakota ought to be
admitted as a state of this Union.
The only reason she is not admitted by
Congress is that she cast d republican

AND yet nobody attempts to explain

it cannot be explained, the four mills

Is only necessary to refer to sectial 35,
chapter 81, OF the session laws OF 1873, s'fs
which provides;
The township board Of supervisors shall deter
mine the amount Of property tax to be levied for
highways, and shall levy the same, which shall

struction Of bridges in the township, and shall

bridge tax when collected shall not be used for

is no further room for controversy and
it only remains for tbe proper author-
tiles to rectify their blunder as best
they can.
