had verdict returned for her by the
United States district court at Madison,
of $4,000 in her suit against the Ameri-

Junction little over a year ago, when
jumping on moving train at night
While running to board his train he
came in contact with truck belonging
to the American Express company,
standing near the edge of the plat
form, which knocked him under the
wheels. The case has been strongly
contested. The jury was out two
hours. The verdict is for the full limit
of damages allowed by the statute.

The Indicator Supplement.
WHEELED SuLKY,
Tho Invention of Californian who
Looks for big success with Il.

The Invention of a Californian who
Looks for Big success with Il.
Captain Alphons b. Smith, a rio-
neer of San Deigo, Cal, is the in-
ventor OF one-wheelod sulky which
apparently Is success. Some years
ago he conceived the idea that the
time OF a horse on race course
would be materially reduced II in
stead of the two-wheel sulky a
one-wheel cart could be used, and
he forthwith set to devise a vehicle
which would suit the purpose lie
feels confident that at last he has
succeeded in Inventing something
which fully realizes his brightest
hopes, and something, too. which is
destined to come into very general
use throughout the world. The axle
OF the cart is made in two pieces,
and is SO arranged that the wheel
turns very readily in any direction
the horse can possibly pursue, At
tached to the shafts, near where they
meet the axle, are stirrups designed
to steady the rider in his position on
the cart Made for ordinary road
use one OF these vehicles weighs
eighty-s pounds, but when de-
signed for use on the race course
the unicyle, as some have called it,
may be constructed SO as to weigh
only thirty-two pounds. One was
recently manufactured at San Diego
entirely of aluminium. the weight be-
ing a trifle less than thirty-two pounds
and the vehicle being strong and
handsome Arthur NJ. Plate is Cap
tain Smiths partner in business. Mr..
Plate said to San Francisco Examin-
er man: Captain Smith perfected
the several patents last June, and
he and | are preparing to introduce
1t to the public. No, it isn't true
that balance wheel goes with each
cart. The driver isn't in bit OF
danger of being tipped over. The
cart cant be overturned unless the
horse falls. and the motion isn't
jerky. We will drive the two-wheel
pneumatic from the track. Why'
Well, because it mnimizes friction,
and therefore admits of greater speed.
The experiments thus far made on
race courses leave no room for doubt
that the one-wheel cart is certain OF
popularity among turfmen." The in
ventor is sanguine that before
dreds of his unicycles will be used
in San Francisco and hundreds more
throughout the interior of California
especially 10 the mountainous dis
tricts.

The Glorles of Donnybrook.

Donnybrook is on the outskirts OF
the city of Dublin, but Donny brook
fair ground is no longer the friendly
fighting ground of former days.
One of the tents made of wattles,
with patchwork quilts or blankets or
old petticoats spread over them, held
rows of tables made of doors placed
on mounds OF clay. The benches,
too, rested on the same uncertain
foundation and when the young
Irishmen grew unsready the bench
sent them all down to the floor. Out
on the green there was lighting and
sports and at night the fiddles played
iigs for the jolly young people. 1t
appears from the accounts given by
the strangers who visited Donny-
brook almost a hundred years ago that
there was good reason for the world
wide meaning given to the mere ex-
preston "Donny brook Fair" But
its glories have departed and it is
many long day since the cheerful
shillaly was welded around Donny-
brook castle.

GREAT Rock ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE. EAST.
BEST DINING GAR SERVICE IN THE WORLD.
t35 = 1ti94.

AS tong a time as David rclgned, so lonG
has the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Rail
way run trains westward from Chicago.
| The Rock Island Is foremost In adopting
| any advantag, calculated to improve speed
| and give that luxury, safety and comfort
tnat popular pa .ronase demands. Its equip.
| ment is thorous liy complete with vestbuled
trains, magnificent dining ears, sleepers and
chairs coaches, all the most elegant, and OF
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management and
polite. honest service from employees are
Important items. They are a double duty
to the Company and to travelers-and 1t Is
sometimes IA task difficult of accomplish
cause for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be better
understood If a short lesson in geography be
now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini of the
Rock Island Roate?;IChieag;o. Whs, What other .s
the Northwest?-St. Paul and Minneapolis,
Minnesota and watertown aud Sioux Falls
Dakota. To what Important Iowa and Ne
braska points-Des Molnes, Davenport, Iowa
Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska. Does it
Joseph, Atchlson, Leavenworth and Kansas
City. Does II run trains to the Foothills Of
Colorado Col ado Springs and Pueblo, solid vestibui,
ed from Chicago; Can important cities of
Kansas be reached by the Rock Island
Rontea-Yes; Its capital city, Topeka and
full hundred Others in all directions in the
State, and 1t Is the only road RAINING to and
into the new lands opened for settlement in
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Reservation.
1t Will thus qe seen that a line tapping, as
the Rock Island does, such a varied territory,
has much in that regard to commend 1t to
travellers, as all connections are sure on the
Rock Island, and passengers can rely ON
speedy journey, as over bulk OF the system
through trains are run, and 1t has become.
and rightly too, the popular Line.
A very popular train on the Chicago, Rock
Island Pacific Railway leaves Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs, daily. 1t is
called "The Worlds Fair Special" is one
day out, and passengers arrive at Chicago
early the second morning.
The Rock Island has becomea q popular
