Elaborate plans were adopted yesterday
at n meeting of the Baltimore and ONO
Railroad officials at Baltimore for the
handling of its share OF Inauguration
patronage. In those plans every preclu-
tion against accident hus been taken and
the big problem incident to the handling
of Inauguration day crowds has been
worked out in a manner thoroughly satis-
factory to the management OF the road.
Tho road is now in better condition
than ever before in its history to haul a
big crowd under pressure and the fflcials
who were at the conference yesterday OK
pect the traffic on March to be disposed
Of without u single accident of any sort. |.
1t was practically decided to start tho
running of trains from Baltimore at 5.50
o'clock on the morning Of March ana to
run them On ten minutes headway. Adj
ditional telegraph stations will be estab-
lished to reduce the length of blocks into
which the distance is divided and at no
time will two trains be allowed in the
same block. Another element of safety
Is to lessen the speed at which trains will
run, the average time from Baltimore to
Washington being fixed at one hour and
fifteen III nuaes.
1t is likely that all through western
trains will be sent west over the main line
via Frederick Junction to keep the Wash
ington and metropolitan branches clear
for Inauguration business. 1t is planned
to move the bulk of the northern excur-
sion business into Washington on the
morning Of March 4.
An important feature decided upon will
be feature of watching trains and
tracks. This is supplementary to the
usual precaution against danger. by this
arrangement there will be chain OF men
extending over the entire system east OF
nhip II
toned mile apart, and every curve and
every tunnel will have Waterman.
This precaution will be maintained day
and night during the heavy movement OF
passengers 1t will be the duty of these
watchpen to inspect the track under their
charge Mt regular intervals and to watch
the movement of trains. They will be
supplied with flags, lanterns and other
signals.
10 supply this service all section men
and track employees will be placed under
the orders of division superintendent.
Extra men will be located at the various
coal and wafer stations along the road 10
facilitate the handling of these supplies.
1t has been decided to limit trains to ten
coaches. On all excursion trains there
will be two conductors. One of these will
collect tickets and the other will give his
Ill time to the running of the train.
An order ha, been issued for rigid in
spcction of every passenger coach on the
system. This will be completed and any
repairs made before March lst A number
of large freight engines have been equipped
with steam heating apparatus 50 that
they can be used for passenger traffic.
Additional tracks are Icing laid on
which to store the extra sleepers which
will go TO Washington. Accommodations
for 400 have been arranged but before
March 1st, the facilities will be doubled.

the "ghost"-a Theatrical gents title
for the cashier-did not walk as reg
ularly as the requirement Of the per-
formers desired for comfort and clean-
illness. For the benefit of the Pilot
Growers Whallen gave a street per.
Torrance, during the course Of which
he swallowed q handful of taeks, ate a
beer glass and gulped down a few wire
nails. The town marshal was there,
and, like most town marshals, suspect
ed something. 1t was his duty to sus-
pect, but in this case he was acting as
a private individual, and he suspected
that there was a fake about the per-
Torrance. He told Whallen So, and
handed over his two-bladed Barlow
knife, one he had carried for years, and
suggested that Whallen add it to his
collection. Whallen held the knife in
plain view for a moment, and then let
it slowly slide down his gullet, while
the natives looked on and wondered.
When the knife had disappeared the
marshal was convinced, and Clipped in
a dime to the COLLECTION that was taken
up, remarking as he did so that he
was a knife out, b. gosh, and the
other Teller was a knife n"
The knife did the work.. 1t laid heav-
lily on Whallen's stomach, and when
he reached Kansas City two days ag '
he was in misery, and, as he remarked,
he could "see his finish" The X ray
was brought into requisition, and the
fluorescent light wavered above his abb
domen and cast its shadow upon the
delicate plate behind his body. The
x ray disclosed a lump in his interior,
made by a foreign substance, but it
failed to fird both punches of junk. The
physicians decided that an operation
was the only recours 10 save the 'os-
trich's" life, and as Whallen is made
of pretty stern stuff. he said:
Let 'er go. If I've got to die, |
might as well leave the hardware be-
hind, for l don't suppose they'll need
it on the other side"
He kept up his spirits to the last, ut
tering a facetious remark just before
the anesthetic overpowered his senses
and he sank into unconsciousness.
1t was Whallen's habit while travel
ing with a sideshow as one of the at
fractions on the side to eat a little oat-
meal just before he began his perform
ance, but of late he dispensed with this
~precaution IN account of financial rea-
sons. The oatmeal formed a coating in
his stomach and prevented the sharp
points of the nails from injuring the
walls of his stomach. At least. that's
his explanation of it. Whallen died the
day following the operation.-Kansas

often practicable, when diseases are not
clearly defined, to consult with a doctor
and learn exactly what course should be
pursued before beginning to take any
medicine whatever. By doing this all
danger of taking the wrong remedy Is
averted. The Kickapoo Indian Medicine

no evidence of pain. After the last wire
nail, fragment of glass, knife handle
and scrap of iron had been removed,
the surgeons performed a complete job
of laundering, washing Wallen's stom-
ach with the nicely that a skilled wash
elrwoman rinses the last particle of dirt
from a white shirt.
DR.. Smythe and Mr.. Little brought
the plumber that had been taken from
the "ostrich's" stomach down to the
rooms of the Commercial View Com
pany on Walnut street, where DR..
Smythe sewed the nails, knives, blades,
ETC., to a heavy cardboard. The glass
was glued to the card. A photograph
was made of It, a reproduction of which
is herewith given.
The case of Wallen is one that has
caused a great deal of interest among
physicians. He is one of those freaks
often read about, but seldom seen. His
absolute disregard for natures laws,
years, swallow nails and knives and
tacks and screws without experiencing
any ill effects shows that he is an alb
normal human being, in this respect
at least.
According to his story, he began his
ostrich-like career at the age of ten.
He seemed to possess the power to take
into his stomach anything, whether
iron or steel, without feeling the worse
for it. The late P. T. Barnum, who
was a c%onnoisseur in freaks, picked
Wallen up and took him about the
country with his then greatest show
on EARTH" and Wallen ate glass for the
edifcation of the awe-struck, but skep-
tical, public, that supposed he pos
sessed a mouth after the style OF a mon
key-with a pouch in it-and that he
conveniently slowed away the odd 1000
until an opportune moment. when he
emptied it out.
All over the Union Wallen practlced
this astronomical witchery, and ne
had few equals, and certainly no supe-
riors. He met his Waterloo at Pilot
Grove, Mo-, an obscure town that is
thus given an undue prominence be-
cause it has put one OF the greatest Nv
ing glass eaters out of the business.
1t was a little more than two weeks
age when Whallen drifted into Pliot
Grove. He had left a fy-by-night the
atrical company at st. Louis because

Mr.. r. Lindsay Coleman, ex-president Of
the National Cycle Board of Trade, an
president Of the Western Wheel Works, in
speaking on the cut in bicycles, says:

opinion five years ago that other makers
would fully realize their error in endeav-
oring to maintain n fictitious value on
their product, and that the prices we had
fixed on C1escents would become the
standard price for other high grade wheels.
"One of the secrets of the success Of tho
Western Wheel Works is, that we not
only guarantee our wheels, but we guaran-
tee our prices as well, and the purchaser
Of a Crescent in February has the satissac-
ton of knowing that his ~neighbtr who
purchased a Crevcent in July paid the
same price as he did.
II do not anticipate that a still further
reduction in the price Of bicycles will be
made this year.

BILE. DR.. Won Quasi took a sharp knife
and made a deep incision about four
inches long just below the breast bone;
then he made another incision horizon
tally for about three inches just below
the navel. The flesh was drawn back,
revealing the stomach. The outer
walls Of the stomach plainly showed
that there was some hard and foreign
substance inside. The stomach was
then deftly opened and the work of re-
moving the strange diet of one of

The stuff was actually taken out by
the handful. The big Barlow knife
had been the clog that impeded the
balance of the hardware. 1t was lodged
near the bottom of the stomach, and
there were nails, screws, bits of glass
and knife blades surrounding it,. AS
the junk was taken from the stomach
it was given to DR.. Smythe, who, with
Mr.. Lille, never allowed it to get be-

A deposit of most remarkable mud
discovered in Indiana, has of recent
years been attracting widespread at
tention. 1t is located at the Indiana
Mineral Springs, Warren county, and
has been formed by the action of the
water from the famous Magno-Lithia
springs. Through countless ages the
foliage of magnificent oaks on the hill
side has annually fallen into a basin,
and has been reduced by nature into
a pure black earth unmixed with roots,
stones or sand. The water from the
big spring for thousands Of years has
been soaking this deposit and saturat-
ing it with mineral salts, until now
there is a layer of medicated mud
about two acres in extent and from
ten to twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value Of this
peculiar, black, porous substance was
accidentally discovered by an old SOL
der, Sam Story, who had brought
rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with it for years. He was at
tempting to dig a drainage ditch
tt rough the mud deposit, and after in
6ulging in this useless experiment for
a week or more, gave up the idea, BIZ.
meanwhile had been cured of his rheu-
matism.
The fame of the mud began to spread
and afflicted congregated at the Springs
| from everywhere. The method of u.s.
ing the mud was at first very primi-
| tive, the patient merely sitting down
in the deposit where nature had laid
it. But since then Improvements have
been made, q beautiful hotel erected,
and the mud bath developed into a
luxurious experience. The accompany
ing cut shows how it's done.
