he shot at blood thirty bear but mis-

in doing so, struck the rabbit and
killed it. Dave rushed to the

the rabbit was dead. He took it to his
home and told his friends what q fine
dinner he was going to have Monday.
Since that meal Dave has not worked
and his chop friends are of the opinion
that the rabbit had died of kidney
trouble last week and that the meat
was spoiled before it reached it.

Coal For the Central.

During the recent blizzard the Mex
lean Cen raj was painfully short of
coal and it seemed impossible for them
to get enough into this point to keep
their trains moving. AS soon as the
storm ceased and warm sunshine again
prevailed the Central commenced to
order coal in train load lots, and during
the past few weeks an immense amount
of fuel has crossed the line at this
point and went south to various points
along the line. Yesterday two train
loads, OF fifteen cars each, went south
over that line and more will cross
the river today.

Miles an Hour.
The great race between the mail
trains on the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy and the Chicago & Northwest
ern q short time sgo has attracted the
attention of the railroad magn ates all
over the world. Most all OF the railroad
officials of this country conceded the
fact that exceptionally fast speed was
attained in the race mentioned ABOVE,
but q gentleman in charge of the small
end of large road on the other side
of the pond discredits the report OF the
race and is quoted in q cable as fol-
lows:
: 81 have carefully read all the pub
lished reports vf the great race and
have failed utterly &c. see that the Eng
lish roads or our own at all events, have
any cause to feel ashamed. 1t appears
from todsv's report that the average
speed for 500 miles was ffty-fOur and
one-hslf miles aud hour. Here ia the
record of our run from London to
Aberdeen August %, 1895: The journey
was divided into two halves-London
to Carlisle and Carlisle to Aberdeen.
We covered the first half-299t miles
in four hours and thirty-fve and one
half minutes, maintaining an average
speed between Euston ana Crewe OF
g. 3 miles an hour. and between CreWe
and Ca Isle of 67.2 miles an hour. We
covered the second hslf-Carlisle to
Aberdeen. 24l miles-in three hours
and fifty-four minutes. The average
speed from Carlisle to Perth
was sos miles an hour,
the average from Perth to Aberdeen
IS. miles an hour. The whole jour
ney from Euston to Aberdeen-540t
miles-was made in eight hours and
thirty-two minutes, including all stops.
No exact record was taken of parti-
cularly high speeds, but while upon
this subject, l and all my experts
believe the reported top speed of 12O
miles an hour on the Chicago, Burling-
ton aud Quincy and Chicago and
North must be cable error.
At the same time we used on
ordinary Journeys to exceed eighty
miles an hour on one portion OF our
route, but stopped owing to objections
from our pas engers. 1 may add,
finally, that the grades on the Euston-
Aberdeen route in some places are
tremendous. and 1 should think it
hardly possible that they could be ez-
ceeded on the Chicago Omaha route. -
The London aud Northwestern road
is one of the lines which participated
three years ago in the races from Lon
don into Scotland.

THIEVES AT WORK.
Four Cars Broken Open Last Night
On the T.&p. and g. H. & S. A.
Link East of the Clty-Three
Men Arrested Charged With the
Robbery.

Last night about $50 when the night
switch or w of the G. n. went to the
link east of the 6. q. roundhouse to
get the transfer cars placed there by
the T. & i. people, Car Clerk Miller,
of that line, noticed that two OF the
cars had been broken open and some
of their contents taken. The cars were
tatan into the G. Fl. yards and there
the rohbery was detected by Night
Watchmah- Rsyner. He went to
the once ito report the matter
to the night agent and while
there a telephone message was rece1v.;
ed from the T. 2. agent saying that
two of the cars which they took from
the link as transferrs>1rom TIE G b..
had been broken open anG-s Some of the
contents removed. One of the cars
and the other with merchandise. Up
on bearing this news Night Watch
man Rayner went to the point W here
the robbery had been committed and
arrested three hobOs. One OF them
had in his possession six oranges, but
none of the rest of the stolen goods
could be found.
The three men were locked in the
city Jail and the officers are working
on the case today. They will not have
hearing until Monday as 1t is thought
that it will take until then to secure
the evidence needed to hold them for
trial.
The loss by this brobbery will be
hard to determine for several days as
it will not only be necessary to check
the packages but also the contents OF
the boxes and packages.
The man arrested who had the or
anges in his possession, told the officers
that they had been given to him by a
stranper who had q flour sack full OF
them and that he was going in the
direction of the city, He furnished
the police with description of thesman

Notwithstanding the reports

which promises to exhibit in this

A Strike Epidemic.

Strikes are serious things, and in
view of the number that have oC-
Cured it is well to remember that
until the cause be removed, dissat-
isfaction will depreciate work and
prove a menace to society. But it
is not only the commercial life which
has it's strikes. The whole country
is groaning under the strike of the
stomach, and many peopemake the
mistake of trying to suppress the
symptoms instead of removing the
cause. There is but one sure way
of removing the ills which arise
from a rebellious stomach, and that
is by an honest use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Use it for indi-
gestion, constipation, dyspepsia,
bihousness, livor or kidney trouble,
and see that a private revenue
stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

Economy.

Some people have got the notion
into their heads that economy is
mean and niggardly, and that Law,
ish expenditure is a true sign of a
generous nature. If any such hap
pen to read this journal we beg to
assure them that they are laboring
under a delusion. 1t is doubtful
whether even wealthy people have
any right to scatter their money in
personal indulgence, and it is GER
tain that no one has any right to
live beyond his means. The end of
that road is dishonor and disgrace.
Better even is the hardest and
most closely calculated economy
than the vulgar dishonesty which
clothes itself in purple and fine lin
en- that is not really able to buy,
and fares sumptuously every day
on delicate viands that somebody
else pays for. Christian Advocate.

Lincoln said mo man is good
enough to govern another man
without the others consent. When
the white man governs himself, that
is self government; but when he
governs another man, that is more
than self government-that is des-
potism. Our reliance is in the love
of liberty which God has planted in
us; our defense is in the spirit which
prizes liberty as the heritage of all
men, in all lands, everywhere.
Those who deny freedom to others
deserve it not themselves, and un-
