The Boston IL Maine system, including
tne Maine Central, has adopted new
style of head lights, small round ones,
after the style used on locomotives forty
years ago. The candle power has been
improved, however, so that these small
lamps are about twice as brighta as the old
Kind. They are being supplied as rapidly
as possible.
Gen. Agent Whitney of the Union
station has adopted new rule in regard
to stopping trains. In former days en-
glneers relied on their own Judgment in
this matter. They would run into the
train shed, slide along, sight some object
and when they thought they had gone
up to 1t would stop. Sometimes they hit
1t and sometimes they didn't. Now a
man stands in the train shed with his eye
ON the rear of the train and when 1T has
gone as far as it ought to he signals the
engineer to stop.

The Rude Reporter.

Tomlinson was not one of those repor-
their hands and pencils stuck behind
their ears. He had been in the business
too long for that When he had occasion
to interview man he did SO in such a
manner as to give the impression that he
was merely conversingl with him in a
casual way. He never took notes unless
there were figures to be remembered, and
nobody had. to complain that he got
things mixed.
But. aside from his ability as news
paper man. Tomlinson was genial and a
person whom it was profitable to asso-
ciate. Therefore, he sometimes appeared
in society-not as a reporter, but as a
| man.
Unfortunately, however, he often met
people who did not have as fine a sense
Of propriety az he possessed. Or, do peo-
| pie outside of the newspaper business
| to parade their profession. At all events,
Tomlinson seldom appeared at party or
banquet or any other social function
without being approached by from one
| to dozen men, who would say:
Hello! Well, I s'pose you're looking
after something to write up for your
paper, ehf You newspaper fellows never
allow anything to get away. he, he, hel"
Tomlinson usually smiled and let such
remarks pass without serious notice, but
one night he was a member of a party
at dinner given by the most exclusive
club in the city.
When the company had got seated
Tomlinson found himself directly oppo-
site the proprietor of one of the largest
commission houses in the city. The
man looked at the reporter for moment
as If he thought he must be mistaken. 1t
was evident that he was surprised to see
reporter to such place.
This settled Tomlinson, and he waited.
When the buzz of conversation had died
down enough SO that the commission
man could be heard, by everybody, he
said:
"Well, Mr.. Newsman, I suppose you'll
have a full account OF this in the paper

again, and some of the latter's friends
afterward told him that he had been

The Necessity of Pure Drinking Water.

1t is evident that the necessity of using
absolutely pure drinking water cannot
become too strongly impressed on the
public mind, but water In that condition
is provided by very few communities.
Hence the public are availing themselves
of bottled natural mineral waters to q
great extent, especially Apo1linaris,
which Is of recognized purity, for its
long-contiued and worldwide use attests
its merit. Where such waters cannot be
obtained the ordinary drinking water, ii
the least suspicion attaches to it, should
be boiled before using. Precautions
should be taken at all times of the year.
1t Is often thought that in early spring.
when rivers are swollen by melting snow.
river water is purer and safer than in
summer or fall. Recent experiments.
however, have shown that the number of
bacteria in the water supply greatly in-
creases while the SHOWS are melting on
the uplands
Ice also is known to be a frequent
source of poisoning; hence, while the
water that is used may be pure, the ice
that is put into it often renders it nox-
ious.-New York Medical journal.

uncertain elements. No track, no course,
no rudder, no certainty that any breeze may
not bring destruction.
So with the sick man. His disordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended on
to do its normal work. The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bill
1ous poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regular nourishing or purifying process is
gong on. There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering
In all dyspeptic, bilious, debilitated con-
ditions what is needed is to change the alb
normal, erratic operations of the system
into a natural, regular, straightforward pro-
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly
as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

tons. 1t sets the stomach and liver into

Charles Mccormick, Stone Mason, Put

WICHITA, KANs.. April 20.-A horrible
murder was committed near Davis, l. e,
yesterday, the victim being Charles Nc
Cormick, an old stone mason of Ardmore,
who lived IN tent in the outskirts OF the
town. He lived alone, and had been
working on some new buildings going no
in Davis. He was murdered as he slept,
and his he ad was horr IDLY cut and bruised
by blows from an ak which was found
where the murderer had left il in the blood
bespattered tent. Suspicion pointed to
Frank Brown, a negro living not far dis
tant, but before the officers reached his
house Brown had fieo. He was traced by
his bare footprints to the outskirts OF the
town, end later was apprehended on Caddo
Creek. He was absolutely naked, except
a shirt, and was found under ledge OF
rocks buried in sand and water in the bed
of the creek to escape detection. DE was
taken to Ardmore in irons and placed In
JAIL The officers also arrested his vile as
an accomplice.
The deed was prompted by his desire to
rob Mccormick of So. his week wages.
Search was made among the dead mans
papers for a clew to the whereabouts OF
his relatives, but nothing has yet been
learned. Mccormick was a well-known
character at Aramore, and the citizens OF
that town are very much wrought up over
the cowardiy murder.

three years ago two cousins, Charley and
Jesse Hidden of Pauls Valley, l. T., to-
gether with a cook named George Jones,
left that place and went to Arkansas, their
purpose being TO trade horses for cattle.
The II bdens never returned and Jones
was suspected of their murder. He was
arrested and on purely cireumstantial
evidence convicted OF numbering the two
Hibdens after sensational trial. Charred
bones found in the remains of q camp fire
and supposed to be those of the missing
men were the strongest witnesses against
him.
Jones insisted that he was innocent, and
on the scaffold declared that Jesse Hib-
den was party TO the murder, if not the
principal. but Jesse's bones were supposed
to have been found in the ashes where the
murderers had cremated their victims to
cover up the crime. Jones had infiu-

Enemies of the officer Try in

motion.
Senator Hawley of the Military
Affairs Committee Says the
Nomination Is Satisfactory.

WASHINGTON. D. g., April 20. The
enenies of Colonel Shafter, who was re-
Gently promoted to be a brigadier- general
in the United States army. will not sue
ceed in their attempt 10 defeat his con-
tirmation.
There has been considerable speculation
at the War Department here as to the
cause of the delay in confirming the nom-
ination of Colonel Shafter. THE CALL
correspondent inquired of several mem
bers of the Military Affairs Committee Of
the Senate whether there was anv signifi-
canoe in the delay in acting upon the
nomina alton. They said "No," but still a
little suspicion lurked In the minds OF the
army officers that there was "a niger in
the wood pile"
The suspicion has been confirmed, for
after diligent inquiry THE CALL CORE
spondent learned to-day that charges had
been filed with the Military Affairs Com
mittee against General Shafter. 1t ap-
pears that when he was q captain, years
ago, General Shatter incurred the enmlty
of some officers several of whom were his
superiors 1t is said that Shafter once
found il necessary to imprison in guard
house a brother of Schofeld, afterward
general in command OF the army and now
retired.
1t appears also that years ago one of the
army officers made some charges against
Shaiter. which were dismissed as ground
less. Shafter afterward had this man dis
charged from the army. The latter now
joins hands with other enemies of Gen.
eral Shafter in an effort to prevent his
confirmation and iniure his reputation,
but their vaccinations II will not prevail,
for The CALL correspondent tonight re-
ceived positive assurance from Senator
Hawley, chairman of the Committee on
Military Affairs, that on Thursday next
the committee would report the nomina-
ton of Shafter as brigadier- general favor
ably to the Senate. and this will be equiv
alent TO his confirm alton. General Shafter
is now at the Ebbitt House in this city.
