Last week the factory caught fire. The

GOODNESS and daring are enhanced by this
fact"
A. A. Carr, bookkeeper for William
Kenefick, one of the principal contract
ors in the building of the Washington
County roailroad, left last week after two
weeks in Ellsworth settling up few
claims against the contractors. Mr.. Carr
will go to his home at Ottumwa, Iowa, for
short visit, before returning to Peters
burg, Va, where Mr.. Kenefick is now at
work on a railroad contract. Mr. Kene-
fick also has large contract in Ireland,
and is interested in work in China. Dur
ing his visit here Mr.. Carr told a repre-
sentative of THE AMERICAN that it was
still common talk among railroad con-
tractors that the Washington County
road would be extended across the State
to junction with the Grand Trunk,
probably within three years. The carry
ing out of the plan has been retarded, but

Ellsworth will see the meteoric display
II it comes on schedule time, and if clouds
do not hinder. Astrologists have prom
ised a brilliant display of meteors for to-
night or to-morrow-a repetition OF the
memorable showers of 1888 and 1866. The
height of the shower is expected between
midnight and dawn Tonight, and if it
comes with the brilliancy promised, it
see. But Mayor Greely, with customary
thoughtfulness, has hit upon plan
which obviates this hardship; and Officer
Lord, the night guardian of the city, will
do the watching for you. If the stars
begin to shoot around promiscuously to-
night, officer Lord will ring the Congre-
gational church bell that you may get
up and see "the greatest show on earth"-
there won't be another chance until 1882,
and some OF US won't be here then. So if
you hear the church bell ring tonight,
don't think it's fire. II you are not
awakened by the bell, you may sleep the
sleep OF the just, conscious that you
haven't missed anything. II some OF the
young people are afraid to trust to the
wstehfulness Of Officer Lord, they might
do their own watching. This is merely a
suggestion.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow sunker-cheeked, dis
tressed-looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or suf-
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neu-
raigla, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion
and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need medi-
cine or a doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
Or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of this great discovery,
Swamp-Root, by sending your address to
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for

REMOVING WOOL FROM SKINS.
An Electrically Heated Blade Does
the Work with Nentness
and Dispatch.

1t has always been problem how to
get the wool off the skins of the many
millions of sheep which are annually
slaughtered in Australia, South Amer
lea and on the continent of Europe. An
electrical apparatus for the purpose has
been patented, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The invention, the first
idea of which is said to have been
struck by lady, consists of an electric
cautery or fleshing knife, by which the
wool may be shorn from the skin rapid
ly and without injury either to the wool
or the pelt. The knife has very short
and very wide blade, which is fitted on
a handle electrically connected. TO re-
move the wool the cautery is simply
pushed along the surface of the skin.
The red-hot knife instantly mows down
the wool, and the speed at which the
work can be done is governed by the
deftness of the operator. The heat need
not affect either the skin or the wool,
provided that the knife is properly
manipulated. With a few hours prac-
tice, 1t is estimated, girl can dewool
from eight to dozen skins per hour,
and the cost of the current should be
not greater than one cent for 10 hours
work. The advantages of the system
are that the wool need not be injured
by lime, chemicals or other deleterious
influences, and the mere singing of the
end of each fiber is imperceptible. 1t is
claimed that the skin, which presum-
ably has been sun dried in Australia or
South America, Immediately after the
slaughtering of the sheep, is in more
perfect condition for the purposes of
the tanner. The estimate of the cost of
such operations shows the great econ
omy of the electrical method of de-
wooling. 1t now costs the fellmonger
eight cents skin to wet down, lime
stone, or sweat the skin into condition
for the puller, and the pulling wages
range from II cents to II cents per doz-

MARTIN LUTHER'S RING.
Engagement Band of the Great Re-
former Comes to Light in
Norway.

Martin Luther's historical engage
possession of a Norwegian peasant
woman, Sigrid Hansen Aim, in Sender
hordland, in Norway.
How it came to Norway and when is
unknown, as for centuries the ring has
been an heirloom in the family of all
the women having the name of Sigrid.
Two years ago the German state histori-
cal museum had advertisements insert
ed in continental newspapers. Slowly
the news found it's way to Norway and
was read by the Norwegian peasant
woman. The description of the ring
tailed exactly with the ring in possess
sion of the woman, says London pa
per.
Consul Jens Gran, in Bergen, was no.
titled, and at once offered the woman
800 kroner for the ring, which was re-
fused. This is the description given in
Norwegian papers of the ring found:
at is of silver, considerably worn and
badly scratched. Set in the ring is red
pearl, to represent a drop of blood of
Christ. On the outside of the ring is
engraved Christ on the cross, and sever
al OF the subjects of the crucifixion as
the ladder, the lance, ETC., and the let
tiers j. N. R. j. (Jesus Nazarenus Rex
Judeorum). On the inside of the ring is
engraved MARITIME Understanding
Won Boren-13-7-1525,' and the faint
outlines of two hearts"
Through the German minister to
Sweden and Norway every effort will be
made to induce its present owner to per-
init it to become the property of the
German historical museum.

HAT OF SPUN GLASS.

A guest at one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance in
the office wearing very peculiar look
ing hat. At first glance it seemed to be
of finely woven brown straw, but closer
scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. 1t was passed
around among a group of friends, and
they all took guess. One thought 1T

1t was asbestos, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

ric for window curtains and other
draperies. 1t was found, however, that
the stuff couldn't be made attractive to
the eye 1t was too stiff and ungraceful

theatrical drop curtains-the only pur-
pose to which it might have been
adapted. Anyhow, he gave up the un-
dertaking, and this hat was one of the
last things he made. had backed the

AN INDIAN BRIDAL PAIR.
They Were Contented and Happy in
Their Simple and Uncon-
sciOus Way.

Once I saw pretty thing, a young
bride of the Kickapoos, on a sort of a
wedding trip, says writer in Ainslee's
Magazine. She was tall and slight, and
so closely do the members of tribe
resemble one another-she looked like
the twin sister of her young husband.
At first they were accompanied by a
stout old chief, but he left after circus
day. 1t is. odd to see an Indian chief
patronize the peanut and lemonade
stands and sit unmoved at the perform
ance, and yet stand enthralled before
the cages of animals unknown on his
native prairies. The bride and bride
groom spent three or four days in the
town, wandering about as unconscious
ly as Adam and Eve in the garden. The
man was already masterful and pro-
tecting, the girl shy and subservient.
Day after day they walked hand in
hand, looking at everything, people,
shops, cattle, but never speaking to any
one, never even to each other, yet deep
ly content in the consciousness of COM
panionship. They were a living exam
Pile of the happiness of simplicity, and
while they stayed in the hustling town
made many a civilized man and woman
think of how far their own conduct
as wives and husbands fell short of the
standard of this unconscious Indian
pair.

PASSENGERS LOVE HIM.
A Street Car Conductor who Charms
His Fares with His Mellow
Whistle.

There is conductor on the Indiana
avenue trolley beloved by every pas
senger who travels on the line. He is
no better looking than other conduct
ors. Nor is he more polite. Nor does
he allow people to ride free. But he
can whistle with his fingers, and the
patrons of the line love him, saws the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
One of the annoyances of street car
travel is the whistle used by the con-
ductors for giving signals to the mo-
torman. The conductor goes along on
the foOtboard with his whistle within
few inches of a passengers ear. He
wants to stop the car. He blows on the
instrument of torture-that's what the
nervous people call it-that he carries
between his lips. A shrill blast that
would wake the dead is the result. The
car stops. Then he blows two more
The car starts. Of course a man can
get used to almost anything in this vale
of tears, but there are many who feel
like jumping out of their skins when
ever that blast sounds in their ears.
1t is very different with this con-
ductor, who learned when a boy to
whistle on his fingers. He wears no
whistle of nickel or celluloid between
his lips. When he wants to stop or
start a car he crooks his first finger,
sticks the crook in his mouth and gives
out a mellow note that is celestial mu-
sic compared with the din of a nickel
whistle. Consequently all the passen-
gers love him.
