1t has been suggested by an exper-
fenced railroad man that the Santa Fe
Railroad could a V 3 large part Of the
money which it pays out for cattle killed
on it's tracks by offering prizes to the en-
gineers who SHOULD have the best record
in thia matter at the end Of each year.
Say the engineer who killed the fewest
number Of cattle during a year to receive
800, the one with the next best record
$40. and the third $50. This would en-
courage it's engineers to be far more
careful about this matter, and the com
papy would have many fewer animals to
pay for. The suggestion sounds like q
good one, and is certainly worth the
confederation Of the railroad officials.

about a couple of young gentlemen that
are we'll known in Grant County. This
has stirred up n Of the most popular
men and best shots in the County to
send us the following yarn about bear.

Friend Nc:
There has been a great deal said about
bear hunters and huntresses in the local
papers lately. The boss haul was q
2O0-pound black bear killed by Mrs. W.
Lee Thompson and Miss Maude LeNoir,
They net the monster and dismounted
to give battle. When the bear saw them
on the ground he turned and ran, the
ladies mounted and persued and ran Mr.
Bear up a tree, shot him and brought in
the hide, which car be seen at the Three
Circles home ranch. Yours truly.

CRAWLED IN HIS EAR.
And Then Proceeded to Raise Brood of
Little Ones.

Stories have often been told of snakes
and flogs in human stomachs. An in
tance in regard to the habits of ami
mails which is even more peculiar, be-
cause it is, perhaps, the first of the kind,
came to light here about week ago,
when a man with nest of cockroaches
in the interior of his skull presented
hlmselfsto DR.. johnson at the Emergency
Hospital for treatment. Cases have
often been noticed where bugs have en-
tered the ear and caused excruclatlng
pain by eating the delicate membranes
and tissues of the innel ear before they
could be driven out. But this is the
first case where a roach was permitted
to remain in the ear long enough to
lay it's eggs and hatch it's young.
George Woods, who was the patient.
a young man about twenty, is employed
on an oyster boat Like many other
boats, this one was infested with big
black cockroaches. One night while
Woods was asleep roach crept into his
ear and lodged itself just far enough in
side to be out of reach, Woods felt it
there the next morning, but being I'M
able to poke it out with his finger, he
permitted it to remain, thinkinga her
roachship would tire of her quarters and
move out. But the roach, either be-
cause it got in head first and could not
turn around and get out, or because it
found the accommodations exceedingly
comfortable, instead of getting out, pro-
ceeded to make.its nest Rig hit there in the
mans ear. Finally it started to tunnel
through tine head. AS it afterward was
shown on investigation, the roach had
eaten. it's way through the channel to the
tympanum and through the drum itself
Here, it semes, it gave up investigations,
and from some cause or other died.
When Woods sfound.that he was deaf
in his right ear he thought he had bet
ter have the matter looked into, so he
took advantage of his boat being in
Washington to go to the hospital When
DR.. johnson washed out the ear, in adj
dition to the body of the defunct roach,
a number of little reaches and some
eggs, which had failed to hatch, were
removed. These reaches probably are
the only ones to enjoy the distinction of
having been born in the Uranium of a
living man. Washington Star.

The suggested removal from Maine of
the plant of the :" Bath Iron Works is a
matter Of such grave and far reaching
Importance that it should claim the at
tention of every citizen who gives
thought to the business future of the
State. The industry of wooden ship
large proportions in New England, as
everyone knows, has in recent years
dwindled materially as the result of
changed conditions. Our continued
supremacy as shipbuilding section de-
ponds almost entirely upon our ability
to meet present conditions through the
establishment and maintenance of plants
for the building of iron and steel ships
The days OF. the wooden ssnips are num-,
bered: the old phulks have passed into
history, and those of recent creations
are destined to have few successors The
commerce of the world is committed to
the use of steel and steam.
The enterprise, energy and public spirit
of General Hyde and his associates nave
developed at Bath the germ of future
industry of great consequnc to the
mdUCIldl plOSpCIiuJ VI Jul ooauSs LIZ
business men in the maritime cities of
Maine should not rest idle and see this
great industry spirited away before their
eyes 1t is matter of such vast moment
that local interest should be forgotten
and concerted action taken to, by every
legitimate and honorable means, deter
the removal of the Hyde works from the
State. Where is the State Board of Trade?
Where are the live business men of
Portland, Bath and Rockland? Are you
not all interested, gentlemen?
1t is not question of loss of popula-
ton and comparative business import
ance to one particular community. 1t is
a question of extinguishment OF great
industry that, if retained in Maine, is
bound to contri butte largely to the future
growth and prosperity of the common
wealth.
Other communities are awake and
alive to their possible opportunity. New
London's Board of Trade had a meeting
within forty-elght hours after the recent
fire at the Bath Iron Works to consider
the situation, and concert measures to
obtain the esta blishment of the plant in
that enterprising Connecticut city.
Shall! we in Maine be silent and i'm
passive? Can we afford to bid long and
last good bye to iron shipbuilding in
the Pine Tree Slater This is the size of
the question, and | know that voice
the sentiments of thousands of business
men when answer an emphatic mega
tive
Our need is to retain every industry
that we now have and encourage the
esta blishment of others. There is work
for mercantile organizations other than
planting shade trees and partaking of
annual banquets. Let the emergency be
utilized to demonstrate their usefulness
The newspaper press can render no
greater service to their patrons than by
emphasizing the momentous i'll conse-

Perhaps it is not strange that Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
were not anxious to send President
Dole's reply TO Minister Willis's demand
for specifications, to Congress, in view of
the contents of.thats document, for it is
in some ways the most effective arrang-
ment of the "policy of infamy," which
has yet been put forth. 1t shows up in
calm, but no less clear and unanswera-
bic way, the precise manner in which
the Provisional government was kept il.
anxious suspense in regard to the inten-
tions of the President toward the Provis-
ional government. And the worst of it
is that this condition OF suspense was
carefully planned by the administration,
and all the demonstrations by the fleet
and the mysterious and ambiguous out
givings of our representative were de-
signed to coerce the Provisional govern.
ment into submission to President Cleye-
lands policy. While the President did
not use force he kept the threat Of force
constantly over the head of President
Dole and his ministers. While he did
not violate the constitution in the letter
he did in the spirit. We don't wonder
the cookoos are anxious to have the
whole episode dropped.

The defeat of Peckham was not unex-
pected, but the size of it is surprise.
Hornbiower, who was much inferior IN
qualiications..f for the bench to Peckham,
was defeated by only four votes, while
Peckham is beaten by more than twice
that mum Der. The result is not one ike
ly to encourage the President to carry on
his warfare on Hill, and yet in all prob
ability the next man nominated will be
more obnoxious to the New York Senator
than either Peckham or Horn blower.
The President has evidentlysmade up his
mind to fight it out on this line IL IL
takes all winter.
