Trainmaster c. L. Bruner of the Cen
trail returned yesterday afternoon from
Los Angeles, where The. attended the ma
tional convention Of the order of railway
conductors. Mr.. Bruner left the party of
Georgia conductors, who are travelling by
special train. at Colorado Springs, as re
wished to. return before the others. He
describes his trip in glowing terms, ana
spoke very highly of the .hospitable treat
ment all the conductors, and particularly
those from Georgia, received. The last
convention was in Atlanta, and those who
attended from the west seemed to desire
to make return to the Georgians for the
courtesies shown them while in this state
The work of the convention and the large
number of delegates attending was also
source of satisfaction to Mr..
Bruner. The order was in ses-
sion from May 10 to May II. The
Georgia delegates left Atlanta May 4, and
will return June 2, most of the time, while
not at Los Angeles, being spent in sight
seeing in the west. The party Mr.. Bruner
left is now at st. Louis. from where it will
go to Nashville for few days stay. He
thinks some of the Savannah conductors
will not stop over at Nashville, but will
come directly home There were 132 per-
sons aboard the train. About seventy
five of these were conductors, the remain
ing passengers being members of their
families

Railroad Travellers Who at Last Under
stood Each other.
She sat by tho car window, gazing
out upon the unrollng scenery and pos
eibly dreaming Of home and things like
that.
About six feet away from her, across
the aisle, was an empty seat which at
the next station was filled by man
with a sample case. He was 80 years of
age or thcreabout and was quite as dap
per looking AS if he were 80 and still
the knight to please every fair dame
who set her soft eyes upon him.
The lady was young and pretty, with
perhaps u shade toomuch display in her
makeup but still one could hardly say
that, for all is not gold that glitters in
such cascs--or words to that effect.
When the man had sat down in the
vacant seat aud composed himself for
the journey before him, he began to look
about to familiarizo himself with his
environments, and in the course Of his
visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the
young lady. lie gave slight start, as
people do when they thin; they see
somebody they know, and looked again.
Tho lady wasn't looking, of course.
But she WASH asleep.
Not in the slightest.
After Il minute or two or three or
four Of hcsitating investigation the trav-
cling man, for it was he, arose and very
politely and defer ntially approached
the young lady.

ing that sort Of thing ever since he had
picked up the first sample case Either

"You don't look like II man." she re.
piled with an insolcnt air, "who would
try to work as old racket az that on
me- DO look so green as thati"
1t was now his turn to gaze at her in
startled wonder.
"Oh, that's all right, -" she laughed,
moving over to mako room beside her,

Then he went back to his place, and

clincd to the opinion that there was at
least ono man ON the road who could be
mistaken honestly.

Salvation Army Work Illustrated by
StcreOpticOn Views.

The Stereopticon Lecture that is to
be delivered on February 9th at Saliva
ton Army hall, by Major Parker, of
the Salvation Army, on the Social
operations of this many sided and
peculiar organization, will undoubtedly
create quite an interest among all
who are interested In the alienation of
suffering among the poorer classes OF
our land.
The Army aims to raise the deprayed
masses from their present state by
taking them away from their present
morally unhealthy surroundings, and
surrounding them with good influences
and teaching them an honest trade
and Mt least offering them an opportu-
nifty to earn an honest living, inspire
them with desire to help themselves
and to take advantage of every oppor
tunity to rise above their present con
dition. How this can be accomplished,
and is being accomplished every day
by the Army workers, will be shown
10y Major parker's lecture, and the
pictures that shall be thrown on the
canvas
On the whole this lecture will fur,
nish an opportunity to all who attend,
to form good idea of the work this
organization, whose flag flies in fifty
two dInlernt countries and colonies,
is accomplishing in its efforts for the
evangelzation of the world.

They are telling al interesting little
story in Toronto, which, if not true, is
certainly ben trovato and will furnish
phiatclists with Il greater justification
for the indulgence in their craze than
any they have probably had before. Tho
receiving cashier of the Bank of British
North America, when he was appointed,
was required to give bonds to- tho
amount Of $4,000.

He accordingly hunted out his album,
which had lain unrcgardcd for over 20
years III an old drawer.
Then he made Il catalogue and sent
it to rich stamp collector Of his ac-
quaintancc. In duo course came II reply
from that gentleman saying he was pro
pared to give the SUM Of 81, 600 for the
collection.
Dramatic coincidence

and offered them as the security he was
required to furnish. They woro accept.

KILLING WOLVES.


Some of the Mcthods Used to Get Rid of
tho Pests.
Whole families of the animals are
sometimes asphyXiuted in their dens
A wolf Of the gray variety generally
makes its homo by getting ON tho side
of dirt guloh and burrowing straight
inward until IA safe distance from tho
surface il reached. There her young are
born and raised to sturdy cub estate.
When cowboy locates u den IL
which he believes tho entire family to
be gathered, Il composite mass of cotton,
saturated with damp flour sulphur and
other noNlous smelling substances, is
thrust into the den and set on fire. Tho
mouth Of tho hole is then filled with
clay tampod down solidly, and the I'M
prisoned wolves are speedily sutfocatrd
within. In this way from to 10 and
/ wolves, young and old, arc wiped
out ut one stroke
Another effective method is to boro
fonr or moro holes in flat piccn Of
board and plug them up with beef fat
soaked in strychnine. The odor of tho
fat attracts any wolves that may be in
the vicinity and they lick tho fat vora
ciouSly until the lraveniug of poison
does its work upon them and they drop
dead. Worry often rs many as dozen
wolves are killed eff by this process he
fore the fat in the holes is exhausted.
Strychnino mcloscd III capsules is also
used, The capsule is thrust into sir
cut i'll a chunk of beef, and the wolf,
boiling tho meat whole, fails an easy

Iowa county will at the coming
spring election choose successor to
Charles w. McIIhon, County Judge,
whose term of Office will expire in
January, 1893.
Judge McIlhon positively declines
to be n candidate for reelection. Dur
ing the six years which he has held
the office, he has discharged its duties
with the utmost fidelity and with
marked ability. The lawyers and all
parties interested In the many import
mt matters heard and considered by
the county court of Iowa county dur
ing that time agree that his decisions
have been uniformly just and founded
upon true principles Of law; and that
the whole administration of his office
has been very creditable to himself
and of great good to the people OF the
county. He has entirely oyerhauled
the records of the court, and arranged
and lndexed them In model form; and
In every way has he made just and
upright Judge. Had he concluded to
again stand AS u candidate, 1t Is safe
to say that the voters of the county
would have made his reelection sure.

A Welsh Rim.

Every nation has a Rip Van Winklo
of its own, but tho Welsh story of Rip
is unique. He is known as Tatfy ap
Sion. One morning Tatfy heard bird
singing on tree close by his path. AL
lured by the melody, he sat down until
the music ceased When he arose, what
was his surprise at observing that the
tree under which he had taken seat had
now become dead and withered. In tho
doorway e his home, which, to his
amazement, mad also suddenly grown
older, he asked of a strange old man for
his parents, whom he had left there, as
he said, IL few minutes before. Upon
learning his name the old man said:
"Alas, Taffy, / hNo often heard my
grandfather, your father, speak of you,
and it was said you were under the
power Of tho fairies and would not be
released until tho last sap of that syca-
moro had dried up. Embrace me, my
dear unclo-for you are my uncle-em-

An article on "Curfew for city
Children," In The North American
Review for December, states that of
the $4,000 boys and girls In reform
schools in 1890, 9S per cent went
from cities, towns and villages; that
is, from one-third of the population,
as two.thirds resided on farms. The
chief cause Of this result in town life
is parental neglect; the children are
on the streets In the evening instead
of at home. The writer says. "ln
