RAILROAD BUSINESS IS PICKING

st. Paul Company Will Reinstate the
Men Laid off on Account
of the Depression.

Milwaukee, July 9.-The apparent
betterment of business conditions is
having it's effect on railroad traffic and
the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul
company is fulfilling its promise to re-
appoint to their old positions the men
who were laid off during the business

will have been restored to the com

that Marshall is the coming man. 1t
is pointed out that ne lives in the
right part of the state, that he is
qualified, that he is free from the en-
Engagements Of past judicial con-
tests and that there is good politics
for the governor in choosing him, in so

MduISOu, j ulS y.
There is a large iron safe in the cor
ridor of the capitol. 1t was used by
Gen. J. NJ. Rusk in the COS when he
was comptroller Of the treasury. For
many years the big iron box has not
been opened. The other day the ad-
jutant general thought it would be a
handy thing to have at Camp Douglas
for the use of the paymaster and as a
depository for valuable papers. The
keys were resurrected and Capt. John
Price spent most of yesterday morning
trying to open it. Four different
keys are needed to throw back the
massive bolts. The doors refused to
yield to ordinary force even after the
bolts were shot and a crowbar had to
be used to pry them open. The weight
of the old iron box is probably four
or five tons.

Ingenuity of a Pakir.

Philadelphia Record: Enormous
business has been done lately at French
fairs by a man who professed to sell a
rat powder hat was perfectly harm
Less, and that struck rats dead on the
spot. In order TO convince the skepti-
cal the man, first of all, powered a slice
of bread with the stuff, and ate a piece
Of it himself. Then he put the remain
der under a glass case, in which a rat
was kept in captivity. The rat went
to eat the bread and instantly fell dead.
At 5 pence a box the powder went off
like hot rolls. and the lucky proprietor
of the specific was in a fair way to
make a fortune. But the police, who
in France are very active IN protecting
people from fraud. looked into the mat
ter and found that the powder was
nothing but ordinary sugar. They
also discovered that the case was con-
nected with a powerful electric bat
terry. and the moment the rat touched
the bread the current was turned on,
and it was thus his death was brought
about. The man was arrested at the
fair of Abba, and he was sentenced to
fifteen days Imprisonment.

through ~afterward, before he could
get away from his captors, is public
property, and need not be repeated
here; he had been found alive under
circumstances that the natives thought
miraculous, and they took possession
of him as a sort of diety, an invulner-
able creature whom nothing could
kill. 1t was long before he could get
away-he was watched too closely;
and when he did, it was
only to lie i'll of fever for many
months in a hospital at Cape Town.
When he got well, he came straight
backsto England and to the woman he
had loved and wronged, hearing in
South Africa of the death of her hus-
band.

PHYSICIANS ARE ASTOUNDED
BY A PECULIAR CASE.
a Young Man Stricken With Landry's
Paralysis and Yet Receivers.

tfrom the Times, Philadelphia, Pa)

average iayman but it means a miracle

ence or D. E. baltimore, of Madison,
NJ.
Yes, it is true that I had Landry's
Paralysis" said Mr.. baltimore to a re-
porter, or else the most celebrated
physicians of London were mistaken.
1T was on the 18th OF March, this
year, he continued, when 1 was in
New York City, that I first felt the
symptoms of my trouble. / experienced
elinculty in going upstairs, my legs
Ialling to support me. L consulted a
physician, who informed me that l had
every symptom of Locomotor AtaXia,
Out as the case developed he pro-
1T a case of Landry's Paralysis
and knowing the nature of the disease,
advised me TO start for my home and
friends. l gave up my work and on
April lst started for London, Ont. A
Well-known physician was consulted,
put L grew rapidly worse and on Satur-
DAY, April z, several eminent physicians
held a consultation on my case and in
formed me that / was at deaths door,
having but three to six days to live,
st1ll l fingered on, by this time complete
ly paralyzed, my hands and feet being
dead, l could hardly whisper my want
and could only swallow liquids, and
death would really have been a welcome
visitor.
Now comes the part that has as
founded the physicians. Rev. Mr..
Gondy, a clergyman who visited me in
my last hours, as he supposed, told me
or the marvellous cures Of paralysis
that had been performed by DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills for Pale People. 1
started to take the pills about April %
n a week after that felt an improve
ment in my condition. There was a
warm, tingling sensation in the limbs
that had been entirely dead and 1 soon
began to move my feet and hands, the
improvement continued until May %,
when l was taken out of bed for a drive
and drove the horse myself. BY the
first Of July / was able to walk
upstairs alone and paid a visit to Mia
CARA.
Slowly but surely I gained my old
health and strength leaving Ontario for
New York on Oct. IL and beginning
my work again on Oct. 26, 1894. Cured

VIVA and Domestic Animals.

The question as to what constitutes
domestic animal and what is meant by.
the term wild beast is becoming more
and more complicated. For while,
on the one hand, the supreme court of
Maryland has decided that the cat is a
wild animal within the meaning of the
law, the supreme court of appeal in
France has just issued a decree to the
effect that a wild bull is a domestic an
imal. This remarkable decision has
been rendered in connection with the
question as to the illegality of bull
fighting. which has hitherto been quite
as much of a national pastime in the
south Of France as in Spain and Portu-
gal. Inasmuch as the court has now,
once and for all, determined that bull
fighting is contrary to law and there
are criminal, no one need complain of
this Interpretation of the code, except
for the precedent that it affords of
transforming wild beasts into domestic
pets by legal procedure instead of by
ordinary methods OF tanning.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1895-05-03

In common with all civilized people
we owe an i~ncalculable debt to old
Greece. To the living Greek we can
make some return in a generous nation
al sympathy. We can lend a hand in
his distress. We can buy silks, finer
than Penelope ever spun. We can
order his marbles, for Drosinos and
Broutos have revived the traditions Of
classical sculpture and Parian and Pen
telic breathe again. We can travel in
Greece and get a larger yield of felicity
on a given outlay than in any other
country in the world. And we can go
in for the Olympic games next year,
sure of a royal welcome and laural
crowns. We can give, too, an unstint-
ed support of u school at Athens.
Then we might send a minister to
Greece without requiring him to strad-
die the Balkans and represent us at
rival, if not hostile, courts. He must
be a shrewd diplomat who shall grace
fully carry Panhellenism on one Shout
der and Panslavism on the other. But
we should first take off u tax on
Greek currants-the one eve lamb OF
Greek revenue. Then we shall have a
better right to chide the Turk for his
blood-tithe of tribute children.-April
