A NEW TRICK.

OaW new tfIck Out III iowa Tue |
other day, said travelling man. 81
was stopping at little station on
the Northwestern. and the hotel
was close to the railroad track. The
through passenger trains don't stop
there. In the party sitting outside
after dinner was man who had a
fine gold watch, with case of ex-
traordinary weight. He said it was
the heaviest watch case made, and
the strongest.
"There is a funny thing about
this watch of mine," he said; SIT is
so stlong that | can put it on the
railroad track and let train run
over it and 1t will not be damaged
IN the least
"Right on the rail?" queried one
of the party.
''Yes, I'll place 1t right on the
top of the rails, where the wheels
run, and it won't be hurt particle. %
''Bet you the cigars you dassent
do it."
The proposition was promptly ac
cepted, and the crowd present includ-
ed in the payment of the wager, no
matter who lost. In few minutes
a train was seen approaching, when
,, the owner of the watch went out to
the track, pnt his time-piece on the
rail, and then walked back to the
hotel porch and resumed his chair
as cool as cucumber. The train
came laundering on, and the crowd
got excited. They stood with open
mouths, and thinking what shame
it was that an internal fool should
put such a fine watch on the rails to
be smashed into smithereens. When
the locomotive struck the spot where
the watch had been placed, the
crowd groaned and fancied they
could see bits of gold flying along
with the dust. But the owner of
the watch sat quietly smoking his
cigar, and as soon as the long train
had passed, he walked out, reached
down and picked his watch up from
the side of the rail, as perfect as if
it had been in his pocket all the
| time.
"You see," he said as we all light
ed fresh cigars at the other fellows
expense, ''there is no danger in this
trick providing you place your watch
near the edge of the rail, where the
wheels have worn the face smooth,
and so that the slightest disturbance
will cause it to slide off inside the
rail. The watch-ca is oval, and
that leaves an opening for the air to
get under. If the jar of the rail did not
cause the watch to fall off the pres
sure of the air from the approaching
train surely would. I have perfor-
med that little trick hundreds of
times and never met with an accident
One day fresh travelling man from
st. Louis saw me do it, and he at
once declared that that was nothing
anybody could do that. So he went
out in front of another train and
put his watch on the rail. After the
train had passed he found his watch
about 40 rods up the track. 1t was
about as big as saucer and IS thin
as piece OF cardboard. He had
made fatal mistake of putting the
watch near the end of rail and so
nicely balanced upon the top of the
rail that it didn't fall off. This trick
is just like any other-you want to
know how to do it. "-Chicdgo Herald.

Is In a fever of excitement over the
whiskey question. The county com

censes for several years. but the sa-
looms have boldly violated the law.
There were 700 indictments against
one saloon.keeper. and he let them
accumulate and then cleared the
docket by paying 5000. A new pros
ecuting attorney was appointed by
the mayor to fill a vacancy. and be-
gan pushing the cases. The result
was that one dealer was fined $500 in
five indictments, and in defa ult of
payment was sent to Jail. The coun-
Gil met and discharged the two police
men who had secured the evidence in
the last case and appointed an ex-sa-
loon.keeper to one of the vacancies
This raised furore of indignation in
Weston. The mayor appointed the
two discharged policemen as special
officers, and in few days they had
several more cases against the i'm
prisoned saloon-keeper. The council
notified the mayor to desist. and
called special meeting, acting under
the advice of the town attorney, re.
duced the penalty for selling liquor
from $40 to 500 down to 81. The
citizens threatened TO mob the coun-
Gil. but RETAINED and held an indig-
nation meeting instead. at which the
council was denounced. During the
meeting the town attorney, who is
brother of one of the principal vio-
lators of the law, came on the plat
form and began to excuse himself,
but the saloon-keepers were the only
ones who would listen to him.
