USE FOR AN UNDERTAKEN.
The Expected Corpse Travelled In the

Inc Expected corpse AraVelcd In the
Same Train With His Coffin.
Robert Richmond, a young man
from St. Louis, was taken sick at Mar
ia. a small town 400 miles west of here
on the Southern Pacific railroad. SAYS
a San Antonio correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record. He grew rapidly
worse and became unconscious and his
attending physician t~elegraphed the
patients parents in St. Louis that their
son was dying. The parents wired in
structions for the body to be embalmed
and shipped to St. Louis. There is no
embalmer and undertaken nearer than
San Antonio, and a telegram was sent
there for one. The young man was
still alive, but his physician was pos
tive that he would be dead in a few
hours. The San Antonio undertaken
arrived at Maria next morning and
found the young man still alive. He
waited t%hirty-six hours and Richmond
showed signs of improvement. The
undertaken left with the coffin for San
Antonio and Richmond was brought
here on the same train, arriving last
night. The trip did so much good that
he will leave the hospital in a few days
a we'll man.

powers of the sand cloud. What .em-
nants of strength Hickson had had left
when the storm passed he had exhaust
ed in a fruitless search for his COM
panioE and had at last returned to
camp in despair. OF course, a relief
party was organized at once to go out
and make a strenuous effort, at least,
to find "Old Kaintuck." In the hurry
and hustle of preparation one of the
men called out that Cita, the team
ster's pet mare, was missing.
st must have been Cita that gal
Hoped by me like mad as l was trying
to find my way back to camp just after
DUSK" said Hickson, hearing the
alarm. Il fancied there was something
familiar in the pony's whinny as she
passed, though she flew by like a wild
thing
Gone to look for her MASTER" said
one of the men. Then let us after her
as fast as possible"
So still was it after the storm and
so bright the moonlight that an old
hunter in the crowd was able to dis
tinguish now md then a horses track
in the wide-swept sand and presently
it became apparent that they had
struck Cita's trail.
1t was far into the night, however,
and the men had ridden a long Jour-
ney before they heard family in the
distance a pony's whinny. Guiding
themselves thereby and putting spurs
to their own jaded nags, they came at
length upon Cita. Stopped short at
the big drift of sand, piled high like
a dyke and left at last by the spent
wind, the brave little mare was reared
up on her hind legs, digging away with
front feet and muzzle into the embank-
ment. Taking their cue from her the
men set to work with might and main
and in less than an hours time came
upon "Kaintuck" and the horse he
had been riding, both buried in the
drift. By me of those singular inter
ventions of Providence the horse had
fallen across "Kaintuck's' body in
such a way as to protect him from the
drift of the sand and while the pony
was dead of suffocation the old man
showed faint signs Of life and soon re-
vived on being relieved. Cita's JOY at
her masters restoration knew no
bounds and the great, rough old fellow
put his arms about his little mares
neck and wept.
1t is pretty good sort Of "horse
sense" isn't it, that knows how to save
a mans life against such odds?

A decision of the Indiana Supreme
Court upheld the validity of the state
law of 1893, which provides for the
taxation of telephone, telegraph, pal
c car, sleeping car, dining car, ex-
press and fast freight companies, and
empowers the state board of tax COM
missioners to assess taxation other
than that of a local character, and i'm
poses a penalty of SO per cen upon
those failing to pay their taxes at the
time specified. The amount involved in
the Indiana cases is estimated by the
Indiana encouragement at $1,000
In the Ohio cases the amount involved
Is 0 considerable. The state will,
it is said, be a gamer by about $780,
900, the approximate amount of the
taxes for three years, not to speak Of
the amount which will go into the
state treasury from this source annu-
ally. *

with alarm on a condition in which
all men of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants of other nations. AS
matters are, the cities are great de-
stroyers of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
is full of human failures, results OF
misdirected effort. A tour of the prin-
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
on Sunday evening in any great. city
will show how terribly true this is.
Certainly one-fourth the present pop.
ulation of such a city as San Francisco

is effective for themselves or helpful

their own condition, would be distinct.

Political Science" often of an inge-
NOUS sort, is used in choosing the sites
of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose.
Rio de Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed a COM
mission of scientists to select a loca-
ton suitable for a new capital. The
commission has fixed upon a plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this is
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
in to choose the site of a capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, az
cause and effect.
