THE GUARDS STORY.
From he STATE Journal, Lincoln, Ntb

From the State journal, Lincoln, NtOl
There is probably not stronger man or
more trustworthy guard employed at the
Nebraska State Penitentiary than J. T.
Ralston. To stranger he appears very
good example of the man who boasts that
he never was sick day in his life.
For many years Mr.. Ralston lived ut Sy-
racuse, Nebraska and the old residents
there remember him as one of the strongest
AID healthiest Of their number.
In 80 or thereabouts, when the "grip"
first broke forth in this section of the coun-
try, il claimed him us one Of its earliest vic
TINS. Like most men with strong phys
iQue, he sneered at the disease and did not
guard properly against it. For days he lay
in bed and left it only as confirmed in
valid.
About this time he moved with his family
70 Peru, Nebraska, where some Of his chill.
dren were attending the State Normal
School, He hoped the change would do him
good but he was disappointed. He doctored
with the local physicians. and even with his
own son who was practiCIng medicine. All
seemed to no avail, and, miserable in mind,
and body, the POOR man told his family that
he feared there was no hope for him.
happy thought OF his own led him to try
strong ,timulants. He was again able to
WORK. But he soon found that his relief
was but temporary, and when bad weather
came on he was subject to severe attacks of
the grip" as before.
Two years ago Mr.. Ralston was employed
a. the Nebraska State Penitentiary at Lin
com, the state capital, and enjoyed compar-
auye ease while performing the duties of
Usher. Last fail, however, lie was put out
on the wall, and with his change OF work
came his old trouble in even more aggra-
~ form. He was not only troubled with
ga! miserable feelings of the grip
found himself short of breath and
ALLY weak, these things uniting him
u the duties Of his position.
once more, almost in despair, he sought

London, April 2.-The correspondent,
IN Paris, of the Pail Mall Gazette refers
to the "hysterical Extravaganza of the
French press in regard to Great Britain

France is submitting to 8. series Of

endured the insults of Great Britain

Vancouver, B. c., April 1.-The case
Of John Sewell Bates, arrested here for
bigamy, may prove an interesting one.
1t is said tina Josephia Dauphin, the
woman Bates married in Victoria some
six years ago, was the widow of the late
M. "A. Dauphin, president of the Louis
n Lottery company. Bates claims
that when he met her she represented
that she was a widow, her husband, a
merchant, having died in Europe. 1t is
said, however, that Dauphin and his
wife separated without being legally
divorced.

A Unique Ambulance Service.

@E ~ OAA4O0 S5K 4MMH#3
The establishments of an Ambulance
street car service in st. Louis is the
putting into effect of an idea long con-
tended for by the health commissioner
Of that city, DR.. George Homan. Eff
forts to secure legislation having
faile! DR.. Homan succeeded in inter-
esting the officials of a street car COM
pany, who have built an ambulance
car after a plan made by the doctor.
This vehicle in itself is only a modified
street car, especially constructed for
easy and relatively n~oiseless running
along trolley lines, and fitted up with
such apparatus as might be needed by
invalids who temporarily occupy it
while en- route to a hospital. But the
plan on which the ambulance car is to
operate is believed to be altogether
unique. 1t will pass over regular
routes, including. presumably, all troll
ley lines of the city, for the exclusive
purpose of conveying sick or injured
persons to and from hospitals. AS it
runs according to schedule, patients
may be in readiness at any given local
ity at the time when the car is due
there. It is expected that hospitals
not on a trolley line will build termi-
nails connecting them with the nearest
railway, that patients may be brought
by the ambulance a to their very
doors.-Harpers Weekly.
