can't breathe with an opon Mouth,

A frog cannot breathe with his
mouth open. The conformation of his
breathing apparatus is such that when
his mouth is open his nostrils will be
closed, and, paradoxical as 1t may
seem, all you have TO do 20 suffoente q
frog is 10 put stick in his mouth SO
he cannot shut his jaws II Is strange
phenomenon, probably unparalleled IN
animal history, but nevertheless any
one who pleases may make the ex'
pertinent, though 1t certainly will be
disasterous TO the frog.

The Cause of Disastrous Train Wreck

Considerable comment has been
caused in railroad circles over the
statement made by Fireman Ed. War
boy, who was on the Inflated west
bound Wabash ''Cannon-ball'' express
that dashed into the east bound ex-
press at Aladdin. near East Hannibal,
Mo-, some time ago. Engineer Burch-
ard, Of that train, was killed, and all
the railroad men wondered how so
careful man as he could have run by
the switch in the fog as he did. War
boy, who is recovering from his hurts
In the wreck, says that Bnrchard was
undoubtedly dead in his cab before
reaching the switch, having died of
heart disease soon after leaving Hull
This Warboy now believes, as gurchard
did not take his head from the ear win
dow once after leaving Hull station.
When General Manager Hays of the
Wabash road was asked by reporter
how he could account for the accident
which cost several lives and wrecked
the rolling stock of two trains, he re-
piled that he could only account for it
in one way, and that was by say
ing that the engineer was lost; that
for few minutes ne failed to realize
where he was; did not know just what
piece of track his engine was running

TO account for the accident This ex-
PLANTATION opens up fruitful field of
thought. Engineers are as liable TO
die from heart disease as other people,
and. when one stops TO think of it, it is
strange that accidents have not hap

IT HELPS THE DEMOCRACY.

If the Liberals had nominated their city
ticket month ago the Democracy would
have had walk-oyer at the election next
Monday. Never before has community
been so thoroughly Disguised by political
party. The moro tie people look at the
Liberal ticket the keener is the disgust and
the greater the alarm. This is especially
the case on the part of the property.
owners and the progressive citizens.
They see at the head of
the ticket man who has
not advanced peg in quarter of a cen.
fury. He is the same now IN all respects
that he was twenty-five years ago. He is
unfamiliar with the age and is utterly
ignorant Of the people and their alma and
ambitions. He is fanatic of the most un-
reasonable character, and his fansticism is
that OF the middle years of the century.
Everybody understands that if he were
placed at the head Of the municipal govern
ment the wheels would be reversed and
the movement would be backward, so far
as it would be possible for one man to ac-
complish this.
Then behind him is ticket made up
largely of nonentities. there being on it few
if any of the elements which are essential
to the welfare Of 4 progressive town. The
ticket was made up by the bosses because
the latter wanted to control the govern
ment through the ownership of the men.
The property owning voters were neither
consulted nor taken into account by the
masters, who expected that loyalty to party
would cause decent Liberals to support the
ticket, which could thus be elected with the
assistance furnished by the colonizers and
hobos imported and main attained at the city's
expense.
The outrageous business ia dawning
upon the Liberals OF responsibility and
standing IN the community, many of whom
are making up their minds not to assist in
the plot to enrich few political bosses at
the expense of the taxpayers not to stop
progress and bring ruin upon the city

VOTERS, BE WISE.

IHE HERALD wants all classes of this
community to understand the local situa-
ticn in order that every man may vote in
telilgentiy and for the best good of the
city next Monday. 1t is already pretty
generally conceded that whether or not
there are boodlers and corruptionists
among the Liberal candidates for munich
pal offices, the ticket is the weakest ever
put in the field by any party. Most
OF the nominees are best described by the
word nonentities. This is especially true
OF the councimanic candidates, who are so
weak intellectually, financially and in other
respects That their nomination seems like a
joke in this community where are SO many
men OF brains and enterprise. The fact
That stares everybody in the face is that tbs
candidates are not their own masters but
are simply the puppets and figurebeads Of
the cunning bosses who would prefer
to manipulate and control by palling the
strings on these automatons. With these
nominees in the city hail. t,Ae municipal ad-
minstriatlon would be directed in every
thing from the Liberal headquarters.
