The second motor for the Hampden cleo
trio railway has been received and the line will
shortly be in operation. There are great many
people who believe that the centre rail of this
line, which is the one heavily charged with cleo
tricity, will render it very unsafe for both man
and beast, but the company will use the proper
precaution to prevent accidents.
when gayly the thermometer
At ninety holds its place,
And with your hat of straw you fan,
Your mad-perspiring face;
When every stitch Of clothes you wear
Is sticking to your form,
How soothing It's to have friend
Inform you cit is warm"
On Saturday last Sheriff Knight received a
threatening letter, postmarked Washington, and
on Tuesday another from Baltimore, charging
him with conspiring with the men who lynched

some one is putting up joke on the Sheriff.

simple remedies but getting no relief and fearing
that the other eye would become affected, he went

TO write for a newspaper in such weather
as we have experienced during the past week is a
task which few people appreciate. If any one
thinks its fun to cudge ones brains for items with
the thermometer whooping it up at SO, let him
try it on and he'll find that he's somewhat mis-
taken. And while the perspiration drops down
in great beads upon the paper the ever present fly
hobs up and tries to make it pleasant for you
You get your mind in train of thought and
about the time you are fairly under way getting
it on paper, this fly finds it delightful to stroll
around your nose. You brush him off dozen times
and as often he returns to the attack. Then you
lay down your pencil and strike out from the
shoulder-and don't hit him. Then, if you are
profane-very few editors are, however-you
swear a good deal. Then you pick up your pen
Gil again, but the thoughts you had in your mind
where are they 0, its fun and if you don't be.
lieve it just step in any day and try it on.
