Mr.. Thos. Leeoh, an engineer on
the Ohio River Railroad, at Mill
wood, Friday, met with an accident,
which resulted in the loss of his
left hand at the wrist, by drive
wheel of the engine passing over it.
He was running the south bound
local freight engine No. "a, and
had gotten off the engine while it
was on siding, and laid down on
the shady side of the engine and
fell asleep. The fireman, wanting
tho engine moved SO as to clean
out the fre-box, looked around for
the engineer, and failing to find
him, gave the engine a turn for

Bob Burdette says: "There are
young men who do not work, my
son, but the world is not proud of
them. 1t does not know their
name, even. 1t simply speaks of
them as Old So-and-so's boys. No
body likes them, nobody hates
them; the great busy world doesn't
even know that they are there. So
find out what you want to be and
do, son, and take off your coat and
make dust in the world. The

will be apt to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and
happier your holidays, and the bet

CLOSE CALL FOR TRAIN NO.
TWO.
Obstruction Placed ON the Ohio
River Railroad Track I'm
West End.

What is believed to have been a
dastardly attempt to wreck north
bound Ohio River train No. 2, oc-
Cured this morning in the West
End of this city.
A large coupling pin had been
laid on the rsil in the curve just
south of Fourth Avenue Less
than ten minutes before train time
L. A. Wolcott, proprietor of the
Huntington Bottling Works, was
coming up the avenue when he no.
ticed at distance the obstruction
on the rail and he hurriedly re-
moved same, as he was aware that
No. 2 was then almost due.
How the pin came there is a
mystery. OF course it might have
been dropped from freight train
but the opinion of many is that it
was placed there for the purpose of
wrecking the passenger. AS the
obstruction was directly in the
short curve it would have been al
most impossible for the engineer
to have stopped his train in time
to have prevented an accident. 1t
is certainly fortunate that Mr..
Wolcott passed at the time he did,

How People laugh.

Since the days of Adam, who is
said to have invented laughter
when he awoke and saw Eve by his
side, no two people have laughed a
like. The laugh is as distinct as the
voice. Women laugh differently

indeed, even the laugh of full

which he laughs when he has

While there is a great scandal
charged against the management
of the Weston Insane Asylum, the
Register is gratifed to say that
not even whimper is made
against DR.. Guthrie's manage
ment of the Asylum for the In
sane at Spencer. The closest and
most critical investigation will re-
veal tho fact that everything is
right at this Asylum, for the
Doctor keeps his eyes open all the
time, and the attendants have to
obey the rules of tho institution or
go. He is disoiplinarian, and
exacts the strictest dicipline from
everyone connected with the Asy-
lum. He will not tolerate for a
moment, any infractions of tho
rules of the institution. 1t would
be we'll for the Weston Asylum if
it had a Superintendent like DIR.
Guthrie, then there would be no
scandals.
