r. Z. q nj. ". NOTES.

Division Superintendent Harris made
a trip over the road Tuesday in his pri-
vate car, accompanied by party Of
friends.
Two coaches for the narrow gauge
system of the F. e. M. & v. arrived at
Deadwood Saturday, and are neat SUBJ
stantially built cars.
One day last week the east bound
passenger train on the Elkhorn was de-
layed at Sturgis nearly an hour until
the track was repaired just east of the
station. The excessive heat during the
day had thrown the rails out of posi-
ton 80 that ii was unsafe for the train
to attempt to pass over.
The Elkhorn has begun running re-
clining chair cars between Missouri Val
ley and Deadwood. The new coaches
are carried on six wheel trucks, insur-
ing greater safety and comfort than the
old style coach, are fitted up with nice
smoking rooms and toilet compartments.
Improvement is the order of the age and
the Northwestern is fully abreast with
the spirit of the times.
Times: Edward Newton, brakeman
on the Elkhorn railroad, met with hor-
rible accident at Gordon, Neb., at 5
o'clock Sunday afternoon, from which
death resulted ee-quarters of an hour
later. Newton was on the VanAmburgh
circus train, and fell from the platform OF
the last car-a coach. His left arm fell
lengthways on the rail, eight wheels Of
the coach passing over and cutting and
mangling it from shoulder to wrist
The right side Of the face was crushed
in. The balance of his body was un.
injured. Newton, who had just passed 8
satisfactory examination and was soon to
have been given charge of train, was
well known and generally liked on the
Black Hills division, having worked az
brakeman under Conductor Leader or
the freight train between Whitewood and
Chadron, for some months. He wal
about 35 years of age, and leaves wife
and three little children to grieve for him
The remains were taken to La Crosse
Wis, for interment.

Birds in TUG OF War.


Two sparrows-one big, the other little
simultaneously swooped down upon a
piece Of cotton cord in front of the City
Hall the other day. Both wanted it and
both pulled, but without visible advantage
to either bird. Then began real tug OF
war.
OF course the smaller sparrow was heavi-
ly handicapped in the matter Of weight,
but this he more than made up in skill and
strength. Fer few moments they stood
firmly braced on the asphalt walk and
pulled with all their might Finding then
efforts against each other futile they, with
a common impulse, few upward without
relaxing their hold upon the coveted OBJ
ject, aud continued in midair the struggle
for the string.
Once off the ground the smaller sparrow
appeared to figure more conspicuously for
while his foe seemed to fancy that weight
would tell in the end the little bird adopt
ed shrewd tactics When the big bird flew
he flew with him. and when he darted up.
ward or zigZa gged from side to side he was
with him every time. In fact he let the
big one cut out all the work, and it was
plain to the crowd of people who stood
watching the strife that the big bird was
wearing himself out. This proved to be
p true. Suddenly the little one, selling a
favorable opportunity, made a sharp down
ward rush, instantly followed by-a quick
upward dash and the cord was jerked out
of the tired beak of his rival But in MAX
ing the effort the prize fell from his own
bill. For a single second it floated in the
air, then the little victor quickly seized it,
and with a tiny screech of triumph flew
away unmolested by the larger bird.
This little tug of war only lasted two or
three minutes, but it was a show worth
seeing.-New York Herald.

A German Peasants idea of America.

German Peasants Idea of America.
Americans who leave the beaten track Of
travel in Germany are always objects Of
more or less interest to the people. There
is the curiosity due to the great distance
that the visitors have come FROM and be-
sides German who has not a relative or at
least a friend in this country is a rarity.
The traveller is asked all kinds of questions
about the United States, and often a most
lamentable ignorance is displayed by the
Germans about the distant country. A
case in point is related by a New Yorker
who spent some time one summer in a vii
lage in Hanover, at some distance from a
railroad. He was visiting physician whom
he had met at Berlin in the university days
of both of them
One afternoon the physician, accom-
panied by his friend, drove TO a farm house
to visit a sick child When he alighted
the American remained in the vehicle. In
the course Of his call the physician hap
pened to mention that his companion was
from the United States. As they drove
away an old lady rushed out of the house,
gesticulating wildly and calling on them
to stop. They did this, and she ran up, all
out Of breath, shouting:
GLOW is my son? He is in America"
She did not hear of the New Workers. ma
tionality until after the physician left the
house, and ran to make inquiry about hel
son, who had been in America for fifteen
years. The woman had received no word
from or about him for several years. She
thought, Of course, that every one in Amer
lea knew every one else there. The for
eigner had much difficulty in explaining
that he had never heard of her son, who
was in Minnesota when he wrote his last
letter. For some time the good woman be.
lieved that the New Yorker was an i'm
poster who did not come from America at
all.-New York Tribune.

Not Burdened with Baggage,


''John B. Weller was an Ohio politician
in the way back days. said an old gentle,
man who was entertaining several young
men in the wheat pit of the board of trade
The crowd had been talking about Ohio
men just before the hurrah broke in.
"John went to California in the early
days, and think be was elected governor
or lieutenant governor, I don't remember
which, of that state. He came back to Ohio
once afterward on visit. On his return to
California he went by vessel as that was
the only way of going in those days unless
you went overland, which wasn't always
safe. The vessel on which John returned
was wrecked on Roncador reef, and the
passengers lost all their baggage.
''They also had to subsist on anything
that country had and live in huts until
another vessel came to carry them on home
Finally they all succeeded in reaching
Frisco. Many friends of the rescued met
them at the pier. Some of Weller's adj
mirers welcomed him. He gave them a
graphic account of the wreck and the sur
vival.
"'Did you save anything?' asked one OF
the friends who had listened.
'''Not a thing but my character was
the reply.
"'John,' said an old forty-niner who
had known Weller in Ohio, you arrived in
California with less baggage than any man
l ever heard of.'"-Chicago Tribune.

The Medical Use of Electricity

The ideas that people attach to the value
of electricity and magnetism are often sad
ly erroneous. That electricity in the hands
of the skilled medical practitioner may be
of great benefit in the treatment of disease
is beyond all doubt; but it is also true, un-
fortunately, that people very frequently
do themselves great injury by resorting to
electrical remedies without the advice of
physician, simply upon their own judg-
ment or the careless recommendation of a
well intentioned but ignorant friend The
superstitions that exist on this subject are
of the most absurd nature. People talk of
the curative effects of magnetism, while,
as Sir William Thomson has shown, the
biggest magnets do not exert the slightest
influence on any part of the human body.
If the electrical current is to be used, let
the family doctor be consulted first.-NeW

REST coMETH AFTER ALL.

Though friends desert you in the race for fame
Though fortune leaves you for some other goal;
Though you are blarleless, yet receive much
blame,
Though sorrow dwelleth deep within your soul,
Though life has been a failure, and you plod
Footsore and weary DER this earthly bali,
Still if you have faith, trust in God,
Rest cometh after all.
Rest cor,eth after all, then higher climb;
Rest cometh after all, though wealth DEPARTS
The world may blame you, yet rest sublime
Shall drive the sorrow from yosr heart of hearts;
Though ife's sad failures make you onward plod,
Sin sick and weary till you reach the pail,
Still if you have faith, a trust in Gcd,
Rest cometh after all.
Rest cometh after ell, then let us go
Forth to the duties of this fleeing life,
Bearing our Masters burdens, for we know
In Him is comfort and rest from strife
And worldly sorrow; let our faith be shod
With love and mercy, while we ever call
Our friends to eternal, mighty God,
Rest cometh after all.
Rest coneth after all, then as we seek
higher life, better, grander road,
Let us of Jesus as a Saviour speak,
For he will help us bear lifes awful load
OF cares and sin, of doubt and unbelef,
OF earthly struggles, be they great or small;
We thank thee, God that life and trials are brief
Rest cometh after all

RearflIess Soldiers,

Modern warriors generally wear hair on
their frontispieces. 1t is thought to give
them a martial appearance. But Alexan-
der's inyincible soldiers were all bare
faced He compelled them to shave for a
sufficient reason, viz, lest the 'soutside
barbarians" of Asia should seize them by
their boards, and SO capture them. If the
emperor of China had been equally wise
he would have locked the long tails of his
soldiery before he sent them out to fight
French and English. Hundreds Of the
Celestials were caught by their queues
when running away and dragged as prison
ers into the camp of the allies.-New York

Eject If Old Are ON the Brain,

Old age tells upon the brain. 1t no longer
fills the skull, and the vacant spaces are
filled with water. Its substance becomes
more compact and tough; in some rare
cases it condenses into leatherlike SUBJ

tion of idiocy But in all cases mentality
is lessened. Men like Gladstone seem to

There seems to be no limit to the variety
of ways in which dollar can be earned by
a sharp witted man. know one who
makes comfortable living by attending
auction sales of furniture. He is not in
collusion with the auctioneer; in fact he
will only attend such sales as are genuine
and peremptory, where every article is sold
for the highest figure bid, no matter how
low that may be- My friend simply trades
on the weakness of human nature. esne-
cially of the feminine variety. Many
women attend these sales, and are really
DESTROYS of securing certain articles, but
shrink from the publicity of trying to OUT
bid some other would-be purchaser.
They prefer to give two or three dollars
advance the price paid by the successful
bidder. This man secures all he can of the
best bargains offered and then disposes of
them at q small advance upon his outlay
to one or other of the disappointed bidders
1t is not unusual for him to clear from ten
to twenty dollars day. There is no loss,
for even if the articles are left on his hands
he gets his money back by sending them to
a general auction room.-New York Tele-

Mr.. Parncu as a Playwright.

Its proprietor-an Irishman, by the way
