THE ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAIN
MINT A SIGNAL SUCCESS.

THE ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAIN
MINT A SIGNAL SUCCESS.
Next to the graduating exercises, our
people look forward to the annual en-
tertainment of the high school, as the
greatest event in the school year. Nor
are they disappointed, for as it seems,
with each succeeding year the enter
tainments become better and more en-
joYable. Tripartite means in three di-
visions, and to the large audience pres.
ent at the opera house on Friday even
ing it must have been construed as
music, recitatiOns and surprises. Many
new features were introduced and the
pantomime and April fool proves that
the young people are not devoid of
originality. To all who were in any
way connected with the entertainment
much credit is due for the success that
crowned their efforts. The excellent

WORK OF THE WIND.
TWO SERIOUS RAILROAD WRECKS AN
MUCH DAMAGE DONE by THE GALE

TWO SERIOUS RAILROAD WRECKS AND
MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY THE GALE.
The great windstorm that prevailed
throughout the western states on
Thursday and Friday struck this sec
ton with great force on Friday after
noon, and did considerable damage.
The east bound passenger train on
the Burlington q Western railroad,
which leaves here at 2:45 p m, was
blown from the track between Butler
and Hedrick, while running 25 miles an
hour. The three cars were carried sew
eral feet from the track and turned over
on their sides. The draw-bar was
jerked out of the tender, so that the, en-
gine kept the track. Nearly everyone
on the train was more or less hurt, and
eight or ten persons were quite serious
ly injured.
Fsank McAdam, the mail clerk, was
badly hurt about the head. His lower
jaw bone was broken and two severe
gashes cut in his head, ,one on the cheek
and the other just above the left eye.
Mrs. Frank Ricks, of Hedrick, who was
in delicate condition. was badly hurt
internally, and fears Of her death are
entertained. She is being cared for at
Fremont. James Stephenson, also Of
Hedrick, had his ninth and tenth ribs
broken, and was bruised in several
places. Brakeman Gephart sustained
broken finger and slight internal in
juries. CIV. Fraker. of Des Moines,
was badly bruised and received a num-
Der of flesh wounds. D. Baldwin, of
KesWick. had his knee fractured and
badly bruised. Among the others who
were hurt and needed surgical assist
ance are g. II. Payton, of Hedrick, 81.
A. Russell, express messenger, of Bur-
lington. and j. d. Stinson, of Hedrick.
The cars were badly smashed up and it
is fortunate thing that nobody was
killed outright.
at the place where the train went
of, the track is a little lower on the
north than on the south side, which as
sisted the gale In its demolishing work.
The accident happened about $3.50, just
few moments before No. on the
Iowa Central arrived at that point com
ing this way. The. .trainmen from the
Central went over at once and rendered
all assistance possible to the injured
passengers. In assisting his friend
McAdam, Mail Clerk Miller. of the
Iowa Central, stepped through win.

bad cash in the calf of his left leg. The
wounded were cared for by Drs. .Nugent,

Is really an disqualification Of the fable
Of the lion and the mouse.
There are no greater pests in the mo-
nagerie than the rats. These small ras-

the elephants are excellent eating and
have no hesitation IN gnawing ut them
when the animal lies down, and, owing
to its chained condition, is unable 70

who, owing to his vile temper and muir
derous habits, has TO be securely chained.

Lately the rats have changed their
base of operations. II was found that
they were gnawing holes in the thick
hide of the rhinoceros. Fanny, the
Scotch terrier who really rules the deer
house, and is one Of the best ratters in
the world, was brought into requisition.
She was locked up in the mammal house
and her first night there was one Of pure
joy. Fanny is o most methodical canine. |
Whom the house was opened in tho
morning she had pile of twenty-seyen
rats in the middle Of the floor and was
wagging a short tail in almost hyster-
ical manner.
After greeting her master, Phil

was something else to do, and taking
one Of the dead rats in her mouth she
ran off to where her litter Of pups was,

Victims OF Fashion.

A correspondent of the Rockland (Me.)
Tribune calls attention TO the present
scarcity of medricks, those swallowlike
birds that once have been counted by
thousands along Maine bays and har-
bors. Their disappearance is due partly
to fishermen who collected their eggs for
food. and who, TO insure fresh eggs,
made visits TO their breeding places on
two successive days; the first was TO
break all eggs on the island, the second
to pick up the fresh eggs. In this way
many more eggs were destroyed than
carried away. But in spite of this
rihing, destructive as il was, the birds
thrived fairly well until the ladies took
1t into their heads. or rather the god
Fashion decreed, that their bonnets must
be adorned with a tern. Then the de-
struction began at wholesale.
An enterprising millinery establish
ment sent "a collector to the Maine coast,
who established himself ON an island and
slaughtered thousands. In fact. 80 many
were killed that the price for them, ready
mounted for use, was only twenty cents
each. How easily they could be killed
may be understood when 1t is known
that when one of these birds is killed
the others, instead of flying away, keep
darting down as if to assist their fallen

Inscriptions on Ancient Swords.

The various inscriptions found on
the blades of swords may be said to
constitute a literature in themselves.
This cutlery poetry" as Shakespeare
calls it, is not the least interesting fea-
ture of a sword collection. Hundreds
of Toledo rapiers were engraved with
the wise council, do not draw me
without reason, do not sheathe me
without honor" On an old Ferrara
blade is the following inscription, my
value varies with the hand that holds
me-" A b"ttle ak of formidable ap-
pearance bears the comfortable assur-
ance, when l go up you go down, :"
and on an old Hungarian sword is in
scribed, ''He that thinks not as do
thinks falsely"
Besides the mottoes on the blades
are engraved the makers name and
address or the owners arms. During
the Sixteenth century warriors regarded
elaborately ornamented hits with as
much interest as we look on works of
art at the present day. The blades of
italian swords were also sometimes
beautifully ornamented. Kate Fields
