Adoption Of Steel Railroad Tics.

The organization of company,
with 81 ,0O0, 900 capital to manufacture
steel ties is said to have been effected
in Chicago and steps will be taken
soon looking to the erection of suit
able plant. The matter of steel ties
to replace the present wooden ones is
receiving considerable attention now
and as the result Of careful investiga-
ton it has been shown that they
possess many points OF superiority,
which must cause them to be gener-
ally adopted. Recently reported tests
of steel ties show that the expense of
maintaining 1000 feet of track laid
upon these ties for nineteen months
was $45, while during the same period
the 1000 feet alongside, laid with
wooden ties, cost for labor alone $40.
The report says that the labor -ex-
pense per mile of steel ties was found
to be at the rate of $l6l.60, and the
wooden ties $701.l2, not counting the
cost of new wooden ties laid each
year to replace decayed and worn out
ones. 1t is said that on the track laid
with steel ties there is less-vibration
and oscillation, and that the rolling
stock would have a longer life than
where wooden ties are used With
the general introduction of steel for
this purpose there would be very
great increase in the consumption of
this metal, affording new market
for the production of our iron and
and steel industries.

The people who ride in Pullman
cars look out of the windows on cold
nights and congratulate themselves
that modern travel is made SO COM
Portable, seldom giving a thought to
the men in charge of the train who
are so often exposed to every hard
ship of weather and who brave any
danger. A brakeman on western
railroad one evening last week was
sent along the track to flag the fast
mail. 1t was cruelty cold night but
he remained at his post of duty until
he was overcome with the cold and
very nearly frozen to death. When
found, the lantern was, SO firmly
grasped in his frozen hand that it
could not be removed until his
fingers were, thawed out.

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for
the production of everything that will
conduce to the material welfare and
comfort of mankind are almost un-
limited and when Syrup of Figs was
first produced the world was enriched
with the only perfect laxative
known, as it is the only remedy
which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
effectual to cleanse the system gently
in the spring time or, in fact, at any
time and the better it is known the
more popular it becomes.

in pneumonia, provided that proper

and Apologies.

and Apologies.
To-day l got to thinking about the
world and its ways. Thinking is a
bad habit, but l am sure l could not
help it. l am willing to apologize for
thinking and if you will let me off
this time 1 will not do it again. 1t is
very seldom l think but when I do
my thoughts come packed like sar-
dimes in box or crowd of men
going to picnic in an omnibus. NY
thoughts are generally set, warranted
not to run down at the heels, bag at
the knees or elope with the printers
devil. Thoughts and quarter with
hole in it are two things that
nobody cares for. Neither do l, and
so give the thoughts to you'll have
not got the quartef7myself. Several
other people beside myself have
thoughts to give away, and that is
just what ! am writing about. refer
to the men who write these things
called proverbs, such as .'The Early
Bird Catches The Worm.'' Now this
is great thought. If I had thought
like that / would pour alcohol on it
and put in glass bottle to show to
my friends. Any person ought to be
proud of a thought like that, and the
entire family ought to rent a
larger house on the strength of it..
What / wish to talk about is this
early bird business. There is a great
moral in that. 1t shows plainly that
the worm must have been up early or
or else the early bird would not have
caught it. A worm that gets up early
is a darn fool. Why didn't it lie in
bed until the old man pulled him out
and said it was time for dinner. Any
common ordinary worm can get up
early enough to get caught, but it
takes an intelligent one to lie in bed
until the old woman has got the fires
made and the water all carried in.
Yes, the early bird catches the worm,
and the early vag catches the drunk
and rolls him. But in the end the
constable catches the early vag, and
the early vag catches about sixty
days in the county Jail for catching
the early drunk. I do not like the
proverb. think "Better Late Than
Never" is much better. There is two
objections / have to this proverb,
though, and they are as follows
First-It will not answer when you
want to catch train and arrive just
as she is going around the bend out
of sight. Il refer to train of cars,
of course.) Second-A good many
subscribers think this is good motto
also, and consequently they never
pay their subscription bill until the
last moment.-Dennis Mud in Trucke,
Republican.

Quick Witted.

An actor now famous made his first
appearance on the stage in provin-
cial city. He was young and nervous
and failed dismally in the part he was
endeavoring to present, and soon
found himself the target for an assort-
ment of objectionable bric-a-brac.
One of his disguised auditors flung a
cabbage head at him. AS it fell on
the stage the actor picked it up and
stepped forward to the footlights.
He raised his hand to command
silence, and pointing to the cabbage
head said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, ] expected
to please you with my acting, but l
confess i did not expect that any one
in the audience would lose his head
over it,"
He was allowed TO proceed without
further molestation. --Harper's Maga-

Republican Rally.

Although the society events in Wads-
worth were not = few on Monday night,
there was a large audience at Music
Hall bent ON hearing what the Republi-
ans had to say for themselves.
The meeting was called to order by
Archibald Steel and N. A. Hummel was
elected chairman. The candidates pres
ent were requested to step forward and
take seats upon the stage. The candi-
dates present were Henry B. Rule, for
Regent of the State University: T. G.
Herman, for the Assembly W. A, Fogg,
for Clerk A. A, (Pete) Evans for Treas
urer T. X. Hymers, for Commissioner
Joe Peers, for Coroner; w. II. Caughlin,
for Sheriff.
Alice Clippinger, a bright little girl
who believes in Republicanism, gave a
recitation entitled Protection" and re-
ceived many compliments and for an en-
core, brought down the house with a
pithy speech advising those present to
vote for Ben. Harrison and protection.
The Chairman reviewed the Republi-
can county ticket and singled out the
qualifications Of the candidate for the
office to which he aspired.
DIR. Patterson received a flattering in
PRODUCTION at the hands of the chairman,
but the audience fonnd before he had
been talking very long, that he had the
eloquence attributed to him.
He told the people why they should vote
for Ben Harrison and said the Republi-
can party had been confronted by great
questions before and had solved them.
1t would certainly be equal to the sil-
yer question at the proper time. IL e
believed the international Monetary
Conference, which meets on the 22nd,
would take a long step in the right di-
| ~rection. He delivered a beautiful allie
CORY and held a delighted audience for
several hours.
