THE GOLDEN SPIKE.
How il Happened that :" Many
Mcmcntocs are Made from II.

The golden spike that united the I'm
ion and the Central Pacific Railroads
a.d connected New York and SAN tIau-
cisco by rail has been lmmortllIcd IN
song, story and picture, until 1t has he
cCme part of the history of this country.
and wherever the Paciii. coast is heard
of there will also the famous golden
spike" of the Central Pacific he known.
There is enc peculiar fact connected with
this golden spike, however. The spike
is still in the custody Of the Central Ia
ciiic Railroad Company, and yet there
are many charms made from gold that
are said to be made from tins spike.
The stories do not agree, and much
speculation has been caused thereby.
The charms are made III the shape OF
little railroad spikes, each about an inch
long. They are engraved with the fact
that the metal WAS part of the great
Golden Spike that ioinei the two
roads, and giving the date Of th" com
plction of the road, May 10, lNr', ami
the name of the owner. Ihescarc looked
upon rs spurious charms, hut they aro
genuine, and to explain thus one must
go back iutG history which Il compari-
tively unknown.
The Central Pacific Railroad now owns
the track that rams 30 the city of Ogden,
but as an actual fact it never built this
road. For months the Central and Tn
ion Pacific Railroads had been racing,
one eastward and ;he other westward
the Union Pacific aiming to get over the
Sierras, and the Central aimiu.. to get
the best pass over those mountains Int"
Nevada and beyond. At that time 1t was
the intention of the Union Pacific to
have an entrance into San Fran 1s''.
and the Central Pacific wa, irving to get
as far east as possible before making Il
connection. During the first part Of the
year 1869 and the latter part of lSi"
each road had its gralcrs working night
and day. They met in the ncighhorhoud
of Promontory and passed each "thc:,
one set grading to the eastward and TIA"
other to the westward within t." nan
drcd feet of one another. Each road had
graded many miles beyond their first
meeting place when the tracks were iald
to Promontorv, fifty three miles WcS. ct
Ogden. Then they paused and though;
over the matter, and negotiations were
made by which the Central Pacific iiall-
road purchased the track into Ogden,
and grading ceased. Like immense
mounds the abandoned grades lay along
the shore of the Great Sal Lake to bear
witness to the struggles between tw"
great roads.
But to return to the golden spike. At
Promontory the spike wa driven, and
with much ceremony and ponp WAS the
affair celebrated. The spike was made
of gold--pure gold, and on the tip Of it
was large lump of rough gold. This
was broken off; LELAND Stanford drove
the spike, which was aiterwari carefully
drawn and preserved, and an iron ono
substituted. 1t was from this rough
lump of gold, cast with the spike, that
the little watch charms are made

SAVED FROM HYDHOPHOBiA.
The Maidstone Successfully Applied
to u Deg Bitten Cowboy.
I from the Kansas CilN Jonrnal.

.rom the Kansas City JoHrnal.l
Tom Harris, cowboy from the Staked
Plains, Texas is lying at the Pacific
Hotel, in this city, recovering from an
attack of hydrophobia. Last Saturday
night he was bitten by 'hydrophobla
cat while away from the ranch gather
ing mp stray cattle i'll the Indian l. rrl-
tory. As the fatal result of such bite
is we'll known i'll those parts of the
country, the man left the herd at once
and rode to Fort Elliott, Ten, in search
of a maidstone. but failing to find one,
he started for Kansas City, where he ar
rived, Wednesday morning, with his
left hand and arm swollen, suffering IN
tense pains. DIR. j. W. Dickson, OF this
city, who possesses par OF madstoneS
Which his grandfather brought with him
from Ireland, was ut once sent Tor and
BEGAN treatment. The wound is n very
small and harmless, looking one, consistt'
ing of three tiny teeth marks on the in
side Of the third finger Of the left hand.
The madstones have drawn more or less
pus from the wound since they were
first applied yesterday mornlng-as
much as half an eggshellful at one time.
The swelling has decreased III proper
ton, and the doctor thinks now that the
case is under control.
Harris is q very intelligent and we'll
behaved cowboy. II" now feels IA great
deal better, but admits that he was bad
lv scared over the increasing pain and
the constant swelling of his arm. He
thinks he has had pretty serious ex-
pc,ience, and refers frequently in his
10, flnt IItfln
animal that came near sending INN Oil
"unprepared," as he cOnfesses.
Dr. j. NJ. Dickson has two stuffed
specimens of the "hydrophobia eat Mt
his residence, 1907 Dripps street. lie
says it Is an entirely distinct species
different from the skunk or polecat, with
which it is often cOnfOunded. The
animal is no larger than an ordinary
gray suuirrcl. with red eyelalls, and 1t.
long, shaggy hair and feelers standing
inward and forward. It's bite is always
poisonous, and fatal if not attended to.
The doctor attributes the frequency OF
hydrophobia in this Western country to
the prevalence of this animal. 1t IS
found in Texas, Kansas and Western
Missouri. Often, and especially In
severe weather, the 'hydrophobia cat
will make its way into houses, dugouts
and stables, biting people and animals
it may come i'll contact with, and many
eases of hydrophobia in domestic and
wild animals are due to its bite. Very
frequently hydrophobia patients come
in from the Staked Plains in Texas and
Indian Territory, to he treated with the
maidstone. Among DIR. Dickson's for
mer patients was Chief Keokukowa, Of
the Sac and Fox tribe, i'll the Indian
Territory, who was grandson of the old
Chief Keokuk, after whom Keokuk, Ia.,
was named.

The project to send Easta travelling ex.
hIbitlon OF California products recently,
as outlined in this Journal, has at.
tracted wide comment, all of cbarsc-
ter favorable TO the plan As amethod of in
ducing immigration in would undoubtedly
prove success. All that is desired is the
cooperation of producers and others who

Board of Trade managers IN arrang-
ing the novel exhibit. The matter will be
brought 10 the attention of all the
local Boards of Trade in the tbirty-five
counties that are in utilization with the
State Board. Copies of the Bulletin. giving
an outline of the scheme, were to-day
mailed by the State Board officials to all
these, ana also 10 various prominent resi-
dents OF counties not in utilization. Further
details of the plain will be given by W. II.
Mills, one of the projectors, at the next
meeting of the State Board He will, at
that time, submit long report of matters
relating 10 Immigration work suggested to
him by his recent visit to the Columbus
Grand Army Ercampment.
The two cars taat are being fitted m for
the exhibition are cd Central. Pacific cars
that have been used for excursion purposes
One is dining Car No So, fitted up by Eli
BENSON for Shasta route service. the other
Ger has kitchen and buuks suitable
fo- the accommodation of those accom-
.pGnying the expedition. The tables will
be taken out of the dining-car and
shelving substituted on which glass Jars
ana cases OF fruit will be placed. A passage
folrsfeet wide will be left through the cen
Ter OF the car, so visitors can pass easily in

to marry him. He failed to keep his pro-
mise, although h. repeated it every week

On one occasion when l urged him to
marry me he said he had forgotten his
gloves and could not be married without
them. On other occasions he said he de-

The editor of the American lFoel Gro,ce,.
remarks ITO many merino fockmasters
in these times of uncertainty and depres-
sion, the temptation will be very strong to
eroes their hocks on some one of the Eng
lish mutton breeds. No one need hesitate
to teke this step, as a temporary expedi-
ent, if he will keep Grm ground under him
by breeding from pure animals every time.
But If he advances one step further, ard
uses these cross-bred lambs to propagate
from, he will be almost certain to get be-
yond his depth and founder inextricably.
Merino ewes are not good enough mixers
to make the best of mutton lambs if fed
only on dry feed but with turnips or ersi-
lage they viii do exceedingly well. Great
numbers of merino ewes, which have be-
come superaEnuated in the immense aocks
of the West, are annually shipped East
and sold in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
TO the growers Of early market lambs. and
are found to be capable, when kept in
smaller flocks, of doing good service year
or two longer in che breeding capacity.
Soathdown rams are preferred for crossing
upon them, partly because this is the best
mutton breed, partly because there is not
such disproportion between their size
and that of the merino &c there would be

An Indiana doctor has recently discov-

qualities have never before been suspected.
a valuable remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about This fact.
Nothing
And yet the very simplicity OF the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
Just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only 10 pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant. In lis preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-

Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies sre accounted as Of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and inflsions OF roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and life?
Certainly not
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
as most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success Of grandmoth-
er's rem edies was their freshness and SIM
plicity. Every autumn found the little Log
Cabin abundautly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for use. Dreading to call doctor
because Of the expensiveness of his far
made trips, they Immediately gave atten ton
to the disease and routed it before it had
gained fo0thoid
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucAed gown, and perchance be-
spectacieG IN rough silver. her weary feet
encssed in hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to-day as the early years
of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten, and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of a
well-known philanthropist, in whose an
cestral line were eight ''goodly physicians"
of the old style-men who never saw a
medical college save in the woods, nor a
medical diploma" except that inscribed
Oh the faces of healthy and long-liyed pa
tients Much time and money were ex-
pended in securing the old formula, which
to-day are put forth as ''log-cabin rem

cough and consumption, and several others,
by Warner, whose name is famous and a
standard for medical excellence all over
the globe. These oldest. newest and best
preparations have been recognized as of
such super excellence that to-day they can
be found with all leading dealers.
When Coloael Ethan Allen was making
history along our northern frontier during
the revolution, Colonel Seth Warner, the
fighting Sheridan of that army. who was a
skillful natural doctor, used many such
remedies. notably like the Log Cabin ex-
tract, sarsaparila and cough and consump-
