Curious Litter of Kittens.

Our genial friend and fellow citizen,
Colonel w. C. Winslow, will excuse
the mention of a wonderful and
curious trick of nature in litter of
kittens that recently increased the cat
family at his house. 1t is said that
there were fourteen III the family, the
offspring of one mother, of varions
hues and stripes, as kittens generally
are. Some had tails and some had
none; six heads on three bodies, and
six feet each on two. The limbs
were badly distributed, for three Of
them could only show nine claws

To the UnapDreeiatcd.

Fools. philosophers and preachers, and a
host Of ether teachers,
Have been trumping up prescriptions for
producing happiness,
Each warranted. if shaken and regularly
taken.
To result in perfect heaven, perfect peace
and nothing less.
This has satisfied the masses, but there are
among the classes,
Another sort of people, and stand here
as their friend,
To be miserable they are yearning TO misery
they are turning,
No method can escape them that promises
that end.
Now my pity-secking winners, my persistent
sad repiners,
A good stiff resolution is the first thing
you must heed
Start up determination that shall frighten
all creation
And vow you will have misery sufficient
for your need.
Now don't mind what some are saying about
balmy breezes playing,
Or the bounties of kind Providence, or
natures beauties fair;
Treat all such insinuations as you would
your poor relations,
But keep one eye liked on misery and you
surely will get there.
Let your jealousy awaken think you are
the most forsaken
Unappreciated mortal that ever walked
the eSrth.
Search for people in the mires, for the vii
lains, cheats aud liars,
And your purpose viii not fail you, but
yield you its full worth.
Shut your eyes to all that's fair, search for
blackness everywhere
Except within your own heart, for that
alone is white.
Hunt for evil, and pursue Il for the Joy it
gives to view it,
And I'll warrant you that misery shall
walk with you day and night.

Why RaindrOps DO Not XIII.

A falling body moves much more
rapidly as it approaches the ground
than it did when it commenced to fall.
Its motion is, therefore, termed ga
uniformly accelerated notion" in
other words, if body being moving
at a certain velocity at the expiration
of one second from the point of time
at which it was allowed TO fall, it will
be moving twice as fast at the expira-
ton of two seconds, and SO on. Ex-
periments have shown that the rate
per second at which bodies acquire
velocity in falling through the air is
thirty-two feet per second at the end
of the first second after it has dropped
from the hand; at the end of the next
second f' It's N Z ss!sssss y ~ PIP - .s,ars
feet, and at the end of the third at
the rate of ninety-six feet per second,
and so on. The velocity of body at
any period of its fall may be ascer-
tanned by multiplying the rate of mo-
ton at the end of the first second by
the number of seconds it has been
falling. The velocity being known,
the space through which it has fallen
may be ascertained by multiplying the
velocity of that period by the number
of seconds during which il has been
falling, and dividing the result by
two. These rules only apply with
absolute correctness when body falls
Gin vacuo," for the resistance Of the
air materially retards the velocities,
especially when they become consid-
cradle, and when the body has great
bulk in proportion to it's weight.
Were it not for this resistance, every
raindrop, descending as it does from
height of many hundred feet, would
strike with force as fatal as that of
a rife bullet.-[BrookIyn Eagle.

The Derivation of Dollar.

Few persons have ever troubled
themselves to think of the derivation
of the word dollar. 1t is from the
German thai (valley), and came into
use in this way some 800 years ago.
There is little silver mining city or
district in Northern Bohemia called
Joachimsthal or Joachim's Valley.
The reigning Duke of the region au-
thorized this city in the sixteenth cen
tury to coin silver piece which was
called 'joachimsthaler." The word
'joachim" was soon dropped and the
name ''thaler" only retained. The
piece went into general use in Ger
many and also in Denmark, where the
photography was changed TO "dalcr,"
whence it came into English, and was
adopted by our forefathers with some
changes in the spelling. [San Fran

PreYentable Fires.

Most fires originate in preventable
accidents. If every one were as care
full as the insurance journals urge him
to be, fires would be rare indeed. But
many people are not careful-are, in
regard to the danger of fire, aggres-
siVely careless. 1t is this heedlessness
of an ever present danger that makes
our annual fire loss the largest in the
world, in spite of the efforts of the
best fire departments to be found any
where. -[Commercial Advertiser.

| RAILWAY IMPRovEMENT.--It is req
sonably certain that among the many
improvements the North Western road
will make this year Audubon will come
in for her share. An entire change in
the yard is anticipated by some, with
the hope of passenger depot nearer
town, while others think the signs in
dictate elevators and better grain hand
ling facilities, but nothing official can
be learned. The engineering corps re-
Gently in town was here in the employ
OF that road, and the visit was inter-
preted to mean Improvements certain.
That the company is contemplating
large improvements is shown by the
following from the Iowa Capital of the
25th inst: "The Chicago & North
Western railway company will expend
more than two millions of dollars dur
ing the coming season upon local inn
provements along its line. Many miles
of lines will be double-tracked. Pass.
enger depots will be rebuilt and enlarg.
ed. Express and electric buildings will
be erected, Freight yards will be en-
larged and re.arranged, and new safety
signals will be set along the entire line.
The improvements of the Chicago sta
ton will cost S2o0,0O0; the new signal
system will involve an expenditure of
100000; and second tracks will involve
an expenditure of $s35,000. The entire
line from Chicago to Galena was
furnished with two tracks a year ago"

New TIME TABLE. The Rock Island
has made an extensive change in tho
time table for running Its trains, some
of which are of great Importance to the
people living on the Audubon branch.
Commencing next Monday the train
crew will lay over night in Audubon.
The train leaves here for the south at
$40 am, and returning arrives ut 1910.
On the second trip il leaves here at 10
and returning arrives at 5a5. The
chief objection to the change is the
fact that persons coming from the
south part of the county will be able to
stay in town but thirty minutes with
out remaining over night, and that will
practically shut out u considerable trade
which our merchants have enjoyed.
IL will however, be favorable to the
business of the road and increase bust.
ness because OF the Increased accom-
mOdations. The main line time table
is not Mt hand, but Agent Smith In
forms us that good connections will bo
made both east and west ut Atlantic,
including both passenger and freight
service. The change will bring to Au.
dubon six good railroad men aud their
families, Conductor Frank Lundy, En-
gineer George hurry, Fireman John
Dorgan, Brakemen Mitch Haywood and
VIM. Moberly, and night Waterman.
All are good citizens and the people OF
Audubon will cordially welcome them.
The hotel men and baggagemen all
smile and anticipate increased business.
Altogether the change is favorable,
with the exception of the fact that it
will restrict communication between
the people in the southern townships
and the county seat.

DEMOCRATIC DoINGs.--The demo-
Gratis of Leroy township held very
peaceable and orderly convention Satur-
day night, quite in contrast with the
dramatic announcement of the "Mollie

thusiasm with eloquence on taking the
chair Mr.. j. G. II. Wicker recorded

spread upon the records of the clerk of

nish. A resolution was passed request
ing the delegates to present the name
of Frank +. Bradley to the county con-
vention for its endorsement as ninth
district delegate to the national con-
yention. The resolution passed. This
action ought to be unnecessary, as Brad
suffered more anxiety and travail and
sacrifice for the party last fall than all
other members in all time, and there
ought to be something to compensate.
Anything the district democracy can
do for the man who carried the banner
through the hardest battle the county
ever experienced 1t ought to do willing
ly. When Mr.. Bradley is duly delegat-
ed we shall have the satisfaction of
knowing that the district is more ably
represented in the national convention
than in the House at Washington. Mr..
j. B. Doak, ex-treasurer, was made
township chairman, and it is on the
slate that he will be made chairman Of
the county committee.

lNsANE.-Wm. Holtry, of Viola town
ship was brought before the commits
sioners on insanity Monday for exami-
nation, the complaint being filed by his
father. 1t was shown by evidence that
his presence endangered the life of
those about him. He is thirty.fiye
years old and has suffered business re-
verses, which he attributes to con-
spiracy among his relatives to defraud
him. A few days ago he tied his wife's
hands, and threatened violence il she
did not reveal to him the conspiracy to
defraud him. This of course she could
not do, and after she was released, the
manner of which is net explained, she
took the four children and left the
house. 1t was also stated that Holtry
has for over a week remained awake
until five or six o'clock in the morning
when he would lie down for a short
nap. When Sheriff Armstrong told
him Monday that he must go and see q
doctor he was pleased with the idea and
seemed to realize the necessity. The
father of Holtry testified that one night
about fifteen years ago the young man
came into the house after the family
had retired and wrote on slip of paper,
The father got up to read the note and
found the message "Come to the barn
soon." Dressing and fastening out the
father found the son hanging by the
neck, but was in time to save his life.
Holtry leaves wife and four children,
and while in town Monday he carried
a night dress of the youngest next to
his bosom. When informed thai: he
would be taken to Clarinda for treat
ment he pleaded to remain with his
family. The commissioners believe
that the attack is temporary and will
yield to skilled treatment at the state
Institution, for which destination he
departed Tuesday morning under the
guidance of Sheriff Armstrong.
