Never heard of runaway street
carp Heard of RUNAWAY electricity.

Never heard of a runaway street
car? Heard of runaway electricity,
during storm, when it wrecked
houses and killed livestock, but just
how an electric street car could run
away is cOnundrum. But one of
the cars did run away at about 1
o'clock on Monday evening, and caused
quite cOmmotion on North La Sale
street. The man in charge at the car
barn saw it shoot out of the house and
turn the bend at Washington street,
and a few moments later it was stop
ped by a pedestrian, who noticed that
no one was in charge. The young man
at the car barn had the laugh turned
his way last evening, but he says that
some one looSed the car while he
was at work In the benchrOom. No
damage was done.
There is good story connected with
the visit of twenty-five of La Sales
Odd Fellows to Ottawa Monday.
which the FREE TRADER hastenS to
reveal to an astoniShed and open
mOuthed public.
Several of the La Sale brethren
were acquainted with Sheriff Norris
sey and Tom Nertney. and having this
knowledge Of Ottawa decided to go
out and see the elephant" unaccom-
panied by guides. They first went
down La Sale street and cOntem-
plated the Seven Pups" They APP
piled for several Of the pups, but when
they found what the cost would be
their desire for pug dogs was suddenly
dissipated.
They then visited the county jail
that is, a dozen of them did. While
they were inspecting the prison
three of them conceived base joke.
They slipped down stairs, accOmpa-
MED by the bailiff, who was in the
scheme, and went through the ron
grating into the vestible, where they
removed their hats. and placing their
arms before their faces at the appear
ance of their brothers" began beg
ging for tobacco. The brothers, "
thinking they were prisoners. sought
the exit, and after fifteen minutes OF
anxiety at not finding their way out,
pounded on the wall and shouted for
Sheriff MOrrissey. Then there was a
roar Of laughter, and the jokers
smoked ten cent cigars.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for
years we have been selling DR. Kings New

such universal satisfaction. We do not

The little village, trusting as it did
for years, in its capability to defend
itself against the ravages OF fire, but
which on two late occasions, found That
the "fates were against them," has at
last "bOught lock and key for the
barn door after the horse was stolen"
In other words, the town board has
purchased their fire engine, an acces.
sion to their town, which, If they had
acted upon their better Judgment
months ago, would have saved the
price fifty times over. The engine is
a hand engine with side rails, cost
Ing 81 900, and sixteen men can stand
on a side and work the brakes, throw
ing stream of water sufficient FOR
any fire that will ever occur in Utica.
But the problem Is not yet solved.
There is not an empty building IN
Utica fit for the engine or headquar.
tiers for a fire department, only old
frame buildings that are liable to burn
with shadow of an excuse. The
town has plenty Of stone eXcaVated
from the quarries that can be used
without a cent cost other than the
cost Of laying-at least the, stone
would be donated. Now, let the citl-
zens contribute and build a solid stone
structure and have safe place for
their engine, also room in which the
voluntary fire company" can meet at
their leisure, and the town Will save
the cost in insurance.

In Grippe-A Few Pointers.

Persons who have had cold are
much more likely to take the influenza
or so-called la grippe.
1t is much more severe when &C
companied by cold.
The most critical time Is when re-
covering from the disease, as slight ex-
posture will often cause relapse, and
that is almost certain to end in lung
fever or pneumonia.
The feet should be kept dry and
warm, the body well clothed and care
used to avoid exposure.
The bowels should be kept regular,
and persons physically weak should
take quinne to keep up the vitality.
With these precautions and free
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a
prompt recovery is reasonably certain.
That remedy is uneQualled for severe
cold and this disease requires precisely
the same treatment. For sale by II. K.
Gapen 4 Son.
La grippe soon loses its grip when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
taken.
The grippe is robbed of all dangerous
consequences by taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as directed for severe
cold.
Mr.. r. L. Smith, a merchant at Dun
das, Mo-, says: "Chamberlain'S

At 7 o'clock Sunday morning, Will
liam Slngsby passed peacefully away
and his spirit was carried to the home
of his brothers in the other world.
With his death La Sale county loses
one of it's first settlers. He was born
in county Tipperary, Ireland, in 1920,
and thirty years later removed to
America. About thirty years ago he
came to La Sale county, and resided
in Wallace township from that time
until his death.
Mrs. Slingsby died last fall, and
shortly afterward the old gentleman
was taken sick, and for the past eight
cen weeks had been confined to his bed.
Death was probably caused by heart
disease. During the time of the mis-
sion in this city last September, Mr..
Slingsby was taken i'll at the parson-
age of St. Columba's church and 1t
was feared he might die, but aid was
summoned and he recovered. Three
sons and one daughter survive.

A beggar, who for thirty year has
been a familiar figure in st. Peters, al
Rome, has just died suddenly from apo
plexy. The Roman correspondent of q
London daily reports some curious cir,
cumstances in connection with this man,
whose name was Pietro Marcolini. He
was the only mendicant who was per
mitted to follow his calling within the
church itself. Plus TX having granted
him that privilege. Leo XIILconfirmed
it, and also, like his predecessor, granted
an audience to the beggar, who was lame
and afflicted. When Marcolini was re-
ceived by Plus TX he complained Of the
cold he felt within the church, where
upon the pope bestowed upon him an old
warm dressing gown Of his own. This
garment, however, the beggar wore only
on great occasions, and the more solemn
festivities of the church. He had been
repeatedly offered large sums for it by
foreigners, but always refused to part
with it. Marcolini left an estate worth
so, 900 francs.

jured, 90, 14s; other persons killed, 1891;
other persons injured, 5000; total per-
SOM killed, $3.50; total persons injured,

But the reports do not cover the total
mileage of the country; only 92.792 per
cent. of it. If the accident rate was the
same on the roads not reporting, the to-
tai number killed was 1898, and the total
injured, 1883. These are the returns
made by the railroad companies them.

of exaggeration. Neither is there, on the

A week ago a young woman calling
herself Josie Ellis, who has been en-
ployed at Gilbert's restaurant in Wau-
kesha, Wis, was arrested on a charge
of having stolen a watch, and was placed
in Jail to await her hearing. AT the jail
the prisoner was allowed to go about the
house as she liked, and took her meals
with the sherih's family. Yesterday
noon, however, she declined to so to her
meal, and another prisoner, having the
run of the building, was directed to re-
port if she attempted to leave. Word
came that the woman had departed. The
sheriff mounted his bicycle and gave
chase. The girl lodged from place to
place, through streets and alleys and old
buildings, and eluded her pursuer for
half an hour or more, but he finally over
hauled her. On her return to Jail it was
found that she had on six dresses and
duplicate Undertaking sufficient to
make up a fair sized wardrobe. Chi

Local Option in Iowa.

DIES MONIES, April 2.-The prohibition
question came up in the lower house of the
legislature this afternoon. The Democratic
caucus license bill was considered Rich
man, Democrat, said in spite of the strin-
gency of the laws it was plainly to be seen
that in some local cities the prohibitory
law was openly violated, while in others it
was observed. The Democrats wanted to
remedy this condition of affairs, and
in localities where prohibition is un-
popular they wanted the liquor
traffic regulated. Accordingly, they had
prepared bill to fit the whole case, bill
that would give localities that wanted pro-
hibition chance to do 80. 1t provided for
settling the matter of license or no license
by popular vote. Licenses will be granted
only by the district court, and then only to
proper persons. Any one could make
remonstrance against q license, and if the
remonstrance was considered sufficient;
license would be refused, the license fee
is fixed at a minimum of $500 and that
amount is to go to the county in every
case, while the municipality could
exact as much more as it saw fit: and one
obtaining license had to file S., 900 bond
for the full observance of the laws; persons
violating the law could be punished by fine
and imprisonment, and anyone convicted
twice should forfeit all right to obtain a Ii
cense again; druggists could keep and
properly use liquors under permits. Any
person not holding license and convicted
of selling liquor could be punished by fine
of not less than 500. After vigorous
debate of four hours the matter went over.

HARVESTING NIAGARA.
Construction Company That Proposes to
Build Canal Around the Falls.

Especial to THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch
: NIAGARA FALLS, April 2.-The Cataract
Construction company, which proposes to
build tunnel around Niagara falls with
fall of one foot in the hundred, and to run
machinery in factories by means of the
water power thus obtained, signed con
tracts yesterday with the Niagara Falls
Power company. The contracts are not to
take effect until some minor difficulties are
overcome. BY this it may be understood
that some people still refuse to sell their
land to the company. The options on most
of the land wanted expired Monday, and
representatives of the company were busy
until after 2 pm. yesterday receiving
deeds.
The Cataract Construction company is an
organization formed under the laws of
New Jersey. The work of constructing
the tunnel will be begun, it is said, as soon
as the machinery can be procured. Land
for miles about the village has been pur-
chased by spectators, who expect to profit
by the boom which they are sure is coming
The company is privileged by the act of the
legislature to furnish electricity for light,
heat and power throughout Niagara and
Erie counties, and has also obtained other
valuable rights.
