ENCOURAGING statistics.

The Baltimore and Ohio officials are very
much pleased with certain statistics that
have recently been prepared Of the per-
Torrance of freight trains on the Second
division, which handles all the east and
vest; bound trafis between Baltimoge and
Cumberland. Before the new freight en-.
gines were purchased, and the improvements
made in the track in the way of straighten-
ing curves and reducing grades, the average
number Of cars to the train was q -. Now,
with, more powerful and modern motive
power and better. track, the average is 40
cars per train, an increase of Al per cent.
The average east bound movement per day
for the first ten days of August was 1923

berland to Grafton, where there are grades
Of l25 feet to the mile, the engines used to
haul 10 IL loads to the train. Now the
,averagesis Is % loads per train, an increase
of 81 per cent. 1t would certainly appear
that the money spent in improvements on
the B; and Q. is being amply justified, and
terially reduced.

DOG ACTORS.

Heroic and Important Actions In the
Play Performed by CANNES.
A stirring melodrama, in which all
the heroic and important actions were
performed by dogs, was played in Glas-
gov, Scotland, recently. The manager
is an American. His production is
called "Signal Lights" .
The dog Towser, after the murder OF
an old squire by the villain, changes the
knives lying beside the body, thereby
saving the hero from charge of MUIR
der; the dog Leoprevents the hero from
the wouldlbe assassin's pocket; the
St. Bernard Brouno rescues the heroine
from drowning; and trampwho comes
to the Villains assistance is tackled by
the bulldog Ned. dr. .-.
But this is not all. Act w., which pre-
sents the "great railroad sensation" is
thus described on the playbill:
'The girl, Romp, is fastened with
strong ropes to the railway line-the
train is fast approaching--the villain
changes the signal from danger tto}'all
right'-the signalman has been fchloro-.
formed in the hut, but his faithful dog,
Duke rushes in and tears the chloro-
formed handkerchief"fr from" the face of
his PROSTATE master-the dog 'Towscr'
rushes in and changes the signal to
'danger'-the dog, Prince also enters
and unties the rope which binds his
mistress to the line, and drags her from
the track as the train comes steaming
on, and stops through the changingof
The Signal Lights" ~ s..~,.F'

important will from the desk of the
villain and hides it il, a box, 80 "th ereby

aDout hve years ago. come next August,
ana 1T was hotter'n Phil Sheridan in
lexas that year, me and four er five of
!ne boys come across peaked-lookin'
teller one day with a boss that we
knowed didn't belong to him. We
stopped him very polite and asst him
where he got it, and he, said he was a
stranger there and had nothin' but a
wagon about seven mile back and off
the road, with dead boss hitched to it
and a sick little gal in it likely to die,
and he was out SEEM eff he couldn't find
doctor er a'wo1nan er somebody to do
somethin', fer the little gal was all he
had on earth and he couldn't stand to
have her die like that. He told us he
had picked up the boss we found him
rldin' because he was not able to walk
fast enough, and wouldn't we fer Gods
sake tell him where he could find some
body to see the little gal, and then eff we
wanted to squar him up with Texas fer
takin' the boss, he wouldn't have q
word to say.
''Wen, we had heerd that kind of a
story many time, and the first one that
had been spread out before us saved
the mans life and lost us boss and a
subscription fer the sufferers that we
took up, and we had been learned les
son. So when this chap gave us racket
like that we give him seven minutes fer
pra'r and swung him up.
"That was the end of it fer the present,
but about month after that me and
one of the boys happened to be ridin'
along the road where that Teller told us
about his little gal, and we seen some
thingSthat reckon won't forget eff I
live to be 1000 years old. There was
only ramshackle old wagon with 4
skeleton of horse in the shafts, and
iayin' on some old rags in the wagon

clean and white by the buzzards, just
like the boss was.

wagon bed and picked up slip Of pa

at each other and never said word.

good day more'n any funeral to set

many years with kidney trouble. The
pains in my back and shoulders were
terrible. My menstruation became ir-
regular, and I was troubled with leu
corrhna. I was growing very weak: L
had been to many physicians but re-
ceived no benefit. ! began the use of
Mrs. Pinkham's edicine, and the first
bottle relieved the pain in my back
and regulated the menses: It is the
best kind of medicine that I have ever
taken, foritrelieved the pains so quickly
and cured the disease. LILLIAN

FORGOT ABOUT THE ELECTION.
Every Citizen Of an Iowa Town Overlooks
the Fact.

The official matters In the little town Of
Rippey, Iowa, are in ~ exceedingly chaotic
state. Rippey has a population OF about 400
people, and is duly Incorporated, but at
present 1t Is without u mayor and has but a
part OF council.
=. This condition OF affairs Is all the result OF
the fact that the matter Of holding a munich
pal election last week was overlooked by
everybody. Although elections were held In
1000 in Iowa last week. and Rippey
has held elections the first week in March
for many years, on this particular year it
never entered the head OF a citizen OF that
town that an election should take place un-
til nearly the evening Of . ection day, when
the county attorney was hurriedly called up
by telephone and asked for advice In the
premises.
As yet tho problem has not been solved
and tho Legislature may be called upon TO
provide n way by which the town of Rippev
may again indulge in the luxury OF Il mayer
and town council.
