FORGOT THE CURVE,
\ Railway Officials Ingenious" Device
and Its Utility.

During recent struggle OF the
Union Pacific with the snow block
adc. a newly appointed official IN
the mechanical department of the
road found occasion to make of HIM
self first class butt for ridlcule.
The story as told by one OF his sub
ordInates IS this in briet: Hitherto
1t had been the custom to send out
heavy trains which had to break the
snow, with four or five engines coup
led together in the ordinary fashion.
The unequal motion of the locomo-
tives when ''hucking" heavy drltt
served to lessen the power OF the
attack, because the force could not
be brought into a single impetus,
this circumstance beng due to the
fact that the engines were loosely
coupled together. The official in
question, after studNlng The problem,
decided that It would be a fine
scheme 10 have the engines coupled
together by means Of long timbers
| placed on either side, and riveted
strongly to each locomotive. In this
way all the englnes would move al
once against the DRIFT and scatter il
to the tour winds Of heaven. The
thing was tried. Everything went
swimming ~ until sharp curve wa;
met. The engines beng coupled
together III manner which lett ne
play of action, II was impossible tt
round the curve. Before the DANCE
was noticed, however, 1t was to,
late, and every one OF the five en-
gines was ditched. = Omaha Herald

During the last war the great
Navajo tribe OF Indians were on the
warpath. The First regiment New
Mexico volunteers, commanded by
the great scout and Indian fighter.
Col. Kit Carson. was ordered to
subdue and bring them into sub

a man as ever lived, was one day
riding at the head Of the command
with old Kit, when the following

while the ma jor was IN tull reg,-

the smoke of the redskins ascending
from the neighboring mountains,

The country is flooded with bogus
medicine men, and in few cases g
heavy capital is all they have to sustain
their prestige. Numerous cleverly con
cocted certificates are forced upon the
unsuspecting, purporting to have "snatch
ed from the grave" some poor victim ot
blood poison or other disease, when to
our knowledge the identical person lay
groaning in agony while the public were
reading of their remarkable recovery.
Another serious offense is the pubIica.
tion OF erroneous statements concerning
various drugs, such as are daily pre>
scribed by our best physicians, declaring
them to be deadly poison. Iodide OF
potash, which seems to receive their
greatest condemnation, when prescribed
by physicians and in the proper combi-
nation with certain compounds, is not
only harmless, but forms one of the most
powerful antagonists to blood poison

certificates from persons who have been
cured of various diseases arising from an

is it that the Blood Balm Co., have ma6e

BILE BEANS! What a funny name
for medicine! Nevertheless it is very
significant as applied to the article.
Bile, according to Webster, is "a yel-
loWish bitter, viscid nausceouS fluid,
secreted by the liver" Whenever the
liver does not act properly this fluid is
retained in the blood and poisons the
olesystem, and sallowness and misery
is the result. SMITHS BILE BEANS
is a sure cure for biliousness and liver
complaint. Price, 25 cents per bottle.

A TEMPLE OF GOD,
And a Very Costly One, ToO--The
First baptist Church.

Very few persons pass along Tenth
street at Harmon without craning their
necks back to look up at the handsome
church edifice that rests upon the corner
named. Minneapolis people know that ''the
groves were Gods first temples" but since
then man has learned ito hew the shaft and
lay the architecture, "and Minnesota groves
are too cool for religious services at this
season. Consequently churches are builded.
and very costly ones. too, as this one, the
First Baptist, will attest. In the year now
gone Minneapolis erected many fine church
structures, of which this is the finest. though
it is somewhat of pity that the only good
view of it can be obtained by looking up
Tenth street from Nicollet avenue. 1t is a
most comely church. and the S120, 900 put
into it shows for itself. 1t is composed OF
pink Kasota stone. with rock face and bush
hammered trimmings. The main spire,
which rises from the street corner, pierees
the air to a height of 215 feet, with sec
ondary spire 11S feet high. The large
stained-glass windows are marvels of
beauty. both in cOloring and design, and
the finish of the church will be superb. The
pews which have been decided upon in
place of opera chairs will rise In ampItheat-
rical form, and will seat 1,400 persons.
Upon unusual occasions the large lecture
room, which will seat 400 more, may be
thrown into the main auditorium.
The church society is in a fiourishing con-
dition and can easily raise the $50, 600
needed to complete the church. DIR. w. T.
Chase is deservedly popular, and is, withal,
an able and fervent envoy of the Almighty.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
How Charles HOag Happened 10
Select the Name Minneapolis.

In conversation with a GLOBE reporter
yesterday Mr.. Charles Hoag, the veteran
pioneer, said: SIN your holiday number of
the GLOBE you gave George w. Bowman
credit for having invented the name Mime
apolis. That is mistake as was the in
ventor and want what little credit goes
with it, seeing that L never did anything
else creditable."
''What were the circumstances"
'Well, about these: You see | came
here about thirty-four years ago and pre-
empted 160 acres about where the Church
of the immaculate Conception now stands.
There were seventeen Sioux tepees on the
place when put up my shanty. Well,
when we came to name the place there
was great deal of talk and much differ
ence of opinion. Col Stevens wanted to
call it Winona. which means first-b0rn
daughter. Alexander Moore, our first
county commissioner, wanted To call il AL
bion, after the town in Michigan he came
from. Miss Scofeld wanted to call it All
SAINTS. because all of the individual saints
had been exhausted. had lexicon of the
Dakota tongue and in it saw that Mime
meant water, and having taught school for
fifteen years l was familiar with the Greek
termination. One night in bed the name
Minneapolis came to me-city of the
water-and the next day wrote COM
municatiOn to the Express in st. Anthony
and gave it to Mr.. Bowman. l advocated
the name Minneapolis and used it as nom
de plume. 1t struck the popular fancy and
was adopted, and that is how Minneapolis
got its name. There is not much credit for
1t, but what there is belongs to me-"

by poison. He had experimental success
fully with burning, but great care should
be exercised in order that the plants be not
burned. also.
Mr. Chandler made the surprising state
ment that he had found, as the result OF
actual experiment that the color Of the
paint on the hot-bed sash had potent in
fiuence on the growth and development Of
plants. He had found that bright and red
was more conducive TO drawing plants 10
early maturity than any other color, and
pure white, or the absence of color, stands
next. No other member OF the society had
observed it. yet one man suggested that his
blue sash had done excellent service in that
respect.
The question of the value Of manure
after hot-bed fermentation was discussed at
length. Mr.. Woolsev stated that he con-
sidered that its value as a fertilizer was
destroyed by hot-bed fermentation in that
il was burned. Others claimed quite to
the contrary, on account of the use of
water constantly. Manure piled up in field
will burn up. Mr.. WOolsey stated that his
manure cost him s1.5O per load. and. that
being the case, Mr.. Chandler suggested that
a forcing house would be more economical
| that hot beds. Parasites on lettuce was
pictured quite graphically and are said to
be very damaging. Powdered tobacco Is
used as an eXterminator and is pronounced
effective. 1t was also stated that plants
are lost by some peculiar and inexplicable
disease which acts upon the plant at the
surface of the earth, while the plant proper
and the root appear perfectly healthy and
normal.
During the meeting the following COM
mittees were announced:
