4 BUTTERMILK FIEND.
Charles RawsOn, COlOred, Who
Drinks Gallon
or ButtermiIk at the Creamery
Without Stopping.
Has q Rem arkable s aomach-The Ca
pac.ty of the Average Stomach
is Four Pints.

Charles Rawson, a colored man who
works at livery stables and does odd jobs,
has a most remarkable stomach. Every
day he goes to the Kansas creamery on
jackson street and drinks down a gallon
OF fresh buttermilk, and his capacity
seems to be increasing daily. Whether he
has an abnormaIy large stomach, or it
is capable of great dilation is a question
among the doctors of the city. Rawson
usually goes to the creamery just before
noon every day. He smiles oleaginously
at the attendants, and they know what
that means and give him can of butter
milk. His daily consumption of butter
milk is enormous. His most peculiar
feat is that of drinking a gallon of fluid
without stopping. Recently he drank
seven pints and went away, returning in
less than an hour and drinking three
quarts Chas. Rawson's health seems to
be excellent as a result of his peculiar
habit His case is one which has inter-
ested the doctors considerably. Speaking
of it DR.. S. G. Stewart said:
1.-The ordinary human stomach holds be-
tween three and four pints. This man
must either have a very large stomach or
it must have a wonderful power of dila-
ton. once had a man put much wa
ter in his stomach as he could. He took
six quarts, but it filled him pretty fun.
j cannot see if the man can drink that
much buttermilk and it is pure but that
it will be good thing for him.
DIR. L. Y. Grubbs said: Some old man
who died here some time ago had Won
derful stomach. We measured the capa-
city of that stomach after he died and it
held six quarts. That is abnormal. The
average stomach holds less than four
pints. This man may have an abnormally
large stomach. He may have a stomach
which will dilate very much. Buttermilk
ought to be good for him

MUST WATCH TRAINS.
Santa Fe Brown System Circular
Shows Some Violation of Rules.

Santa Fee freight conductors must
keep a continual lookout for the safety
of their trains. Division superintend-
ents are particular on this point, and all
evidences of neglect are visited with
punishment to the men. Several days
ago freight conductor on the eastern
division was seen sitting In the copola
of the cabooSe when his train was pass
ing a station instead of being On the
top of the train as required by the time
card rules, and for this violation he was
given a suspension of 20 days. A few
days ago freight conductor on this di-
vision failed to notice that a car door
had fallen from one of the cars until
the train had progressed 20 miles, and
for this neglect in inspecting his train
a similar suspension was marked up
against him.
In his bulletin of the latter case of
neglect, Division Superintendent Nc
Clellan said:
The side door of a stock car con-
tanning stock was recently lost from a
train. The location of the car in train
was but a short distance from the way
car, but conductor failed to notice the
loss of the door until the train had run
a distance of 20 miles. For this c-ident
suspension of 20 days has been mark
ed against the conductor. 1t is the
duty of freight train conductors to care
fully watch their trains at all times
and the loss of the door in this instance
would have been discovered had the
train received the proper inspection"

DISCOURAGTNG.
Papers of $4,000 Who Took Civil
Service Examination Have Not
Been Reached

Washington, Sept 4.-The- regular fall
civil service examinations throughout
the country for all classes of govern
ment offices will muster only about a
quarter or third of the usual number
of candidates.
Chief Examiner Severn attributes this
falling off to the unusual number of
applicants examined during the spring
when high water mark was reached
the number of applicants examined be-
ing an increase of 100 per cent over the
preceding fall or spring.
This rush was due to the change of
administration and the civil service ex-
tension made by President Cleveland.
AS result and in view of an made
quate examining force, the commission
is far in arrears in marking the papers
and $4,000 of them, all submitted dur
ing the spring examinations, have yet
to be reached for marking. This aggre-
gate includes 2.255 relating to the rail-
way mail service and 1,451 to the clerk
copyist places, and has been a great
factor in lettering applicants from ap-
plying for examination at this time.

There has never been a cOllisin at this

Both Wings of the Colorado Republi-
can Party Name the Same Cand date

GIenwood Springs, Colo, Sept. A.
When the silver Republican convention
reassembled yesterday afternoon, Sem
ator Henry NJ. Teller took the platform
and made a very vigorous speech. He
reiterated his well known position on
the silver question and said the silver
Republicans could not consider any
proposition for fusion with the admins
tratiOn wing of the party that was in
session in Denver.
The platform adopted is a strong in
dorsement of Senator Teller and Con-
gresham Shafroth and declares for the
free coinage of silver without regard to
the action of any other nation.
When the nomination of candidate
for supreme judge was declared in or
der, the name of the present chief JUS
tice, Charles D. Hayt, was the only one
submitted to the convention. He was
nominated by reclamation, although
he had a few minutes before been
named as the choice of the administra-
ton Republicans, in Denver, Judge
Hayt, when called before the conven-
ton, declared his adherence to the
principles laid down by the silver Re-
publicans.
He referred to the bolt of Senator
Teller and his colleague at st. Louis,
which he Endorsed.
He said he voted for Bryan at the
last election and would do the same
again if called upon to vote today. He
made no reference to his nomination by
the Denver convention.

The secretary OF agriculture will be
requested to send a government expert
to Manhattan at that time.
Mr.. Munger claims that the disease
has existed on the farm since 1880. He
is very bitter in his criticism of the
boards of regents Which have preceded
the present Populist board because they
did not investigate the disease.
The symptoms of tuberculosis, it is
claimed by Mr.. Munger, have been no.
ticed for several years, but no attention
was paid to them Now the man who
has had direct charge of the stables is
about to die from the effects of the dis

Of regents that their Republican prede-
cessors knew of the existence of the
disease, but were so ind fferent to the
affairs of the institution that no at

The report that tuberculosis exists at
the institution is based upon state

by Prof. A. B. CottrelI, the WHY elect

Cottren appeared before the board yes
