Too much credit cannot be given to
the bridge company for their perse-
verance in following up this case. Mr..
J. D. Billmyer has been indefatigable
in hunting out the guilty persons, and
he has the appreciation of the good
citizens for the way III which he has
followed up the matter. 1t has been
a very costly thing for the company,
but the result justifes the expense.

den, and a hawSer got out to the ship
in the woods.
After two days the flood was there
in it's strength, and as soon as the
water had risen over the botanical gar
dens again to a sufficient depth the
Palma was hauled out of the shrub
berry and trees and anchored once more
in the river. No sooner had the ship
got out of the woods than the river
began to fall rapidly again.
One of the most remarkable inland
adventures of a ship was the mountain
climbing done by an American man
o'-war at a port on the west coast of
South America a number of years ago.
A great tidal wave rolled into the har-
Dor, took the ship and set her down
on the mountainside high up above the
town. She was scarcely injured at all
by her trip, and was put down in a
cleft of the mountainside so that she
did not tip over when the water went

American: Mr.. Hugh Boggs, residing
in the country, over in West Virginia,
a few miles from Romney, had des-
perate fight with a wildcat, which came
near costing his life. For some time
Mr.. Boggs has been missing sheep and
fowls on his farm. He set a trap tho
night before, and some time yesterday
went out in the woods near his house.
where the trap was, and found it had
been sprung and was covered with
blood. He traced the blood, and had
gone but a short distance when he
came upon the crippled wildcat, which
was hid behind a cluster Of bushes.
AS Mr.. Boggs came near the animal
it sprang at him and nearly tore the
flesh all off his face and arms. The
only weapon Mr.. Boggs had was a club.
After being 1acerated terribly by the
claws and s1eth of the beast he finally
struck the animal on the head, break
ing it's neck. A gentleman came over
to this city today and informed
brother of Mr.. Boggs, who resides in
this city, of the terrible battle his
brother had with the animal.

Continued for Two Years Before Pea ce
Was Declared.
The Mexican war is the best exam
pie and instruction in the time it takes
to fight small wars. That took two
years, and the present war is moving a.
express speed by its side, as might be
expected after fifty-two years Hos
tilities began March IS, 1916. General
Mejia at Matamoras called out the
Mexican troops. A month later, April
26, 1916, General Taylor called for 5000
militia. A fortnight later, May Is
congress officially recognized the wal
and called for volunteers. Mexico de-
clared war May %, 1916. Mexico had
no fleet and no army on the frontier,
terey was not taken until four months
later, Sept. %, and Buena Vista was
not fought until eight months after ths
war began, Feb. %. 1847. After near
ly one year of hostilities, in which ouI
forces had been drilled and disciplined
in camp and by months of campaign
ing, Gen. Scott sailed for Mexico and
captured Vera Cruz ten months afteI
hostilities began-March 30. 1S47. 1t
took four and one-half months to Sept
IA, 1S47, before the City of Mexico Was
taken, sixteen months after hostilities
in June, 1S4S. Yet the Mexican war is
quoted as a great case of quick work in
fighting.-P Press.

NEW WAY
For Women to Tut a Stop to Betting

For Women to Tut Stop to Betting
Races
New York Times: You remember
publishing a few days ago a story
about the women of San Francisco
betting on the coursing races out
there?" asked the recently returned
horseman. Il said then that they
would kill the whole business. Well,
on Thursday 1 got word from my
tout out there that the city board of
supervisors had passed an ordinance
prohibiting all betting on either horse
races or dog races in the county.
That's what the craze for betting
among the women has brought about.
It's bad enough to have the men bet
ting. as some Of those who cannot at
ford 1t do, but when the women get
into the game it was too much for
even the Friscans to stand, and they
will stand for most anything as long as
there is a dollar in it OF course, the
pool rooms will fight the law, but pub
lie opinion was very strong when left
there, and there was no surprise COM
ing to me when they stopped the whole
thing"

Was Carried Up Into the Andes by Tidal
Wave and Never Taken Down.

Men-o'-war and other vessels are
not generally met high up on noun
tain sides nor in the middle of botan-
ical gardens. But sometimes they are.
Tidal waves and great floods have been
known to take ships and carry them
to places where their captains never
intended to sail. When nature gets
playful AID deposits a ship i>some in
land place, the ship generally stays
there, but not always.
The unique inland cruise of the Brit
ish Coast Survey ship Palma is case
in point. She was landed by a flood in
the Botanical Garden of Brisbane.

Australia, and stayed there for thirteen
days, when another flood came along
and floated her off into the river again.
The story Of her land adventures has
recently attracted some attention.
The Palma is a twin-screw iron
gunboat belonging to the government
of Queensland. Australia She was
hired by the British government for
use in survey work, and was lying in
the river at Brisbane when a flood
came along. 1t was a mighty flood,
caused by heavy rains, and as the ship
had her boilers under repair and in

such a condition that they could not be
used, she was powerlesS to help her
self Her anchors were let go and ca
bles were taken ashore and made fast
to trees in the Botanical Garden, near
which the gunboat was lying. The
river rushed down with a speed Of ten
knots an hour, bearing with it hay
stacks, houses, dead animals, trees and
pieces of land which were veritable
islands, The Palma, an empty barge
and a passenger steamer were swept
up into the Botanical Garden, over
which there were now many feet OF
water. Once having landed the vessels

there, the river seemed to be satisfied,
and fell rapidly, leaving them stranded
high and dry.
The gunboat was shored up so tina.
she would not tip over, and the officers
sat down to devise some way of get
ting her into the water once more.
Several schemes were proposed, but as
they were of doubtful practica bility,
all had been abandoned when news
came from up the river that another
flood might be expected in day or so.
A tug was hired, brought down the
river to a point off the botanical gar

rushing back and left her there. The
feeling of the officers and men when
they found themselves sailing up the
side of the Andes were, to say the
least, complicated. 1t was impossible
to get the ship down from her perch,
SO they took out her guns and carried
them down to the beach, leaving the
ship to be used as storehouse for the
navy. She was so used for several
years. and was kept in commission as
a "store ship" Probably the old ship,
or home portions of her, are up On the
mountain there to this day.

NO RIGHT TO UGL1NEss.

The woman who IS lovely in face,
from and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and run down, she will be
nervous and irritable. If she has con.
stipation or kidney trouble, her impure
blood will cause pimples, b:otches, skin
eruptions and bad complexion. Elec-
trio Bitters is the best medicine in the
world to regulate stomach, liver and

The Kindergarten entertainment at
the opera house given under the direc-
ton of Miss Effie Green last Friday
night was appreciated more than most
entertainments are. The little folks
amused the audience with songs, reci-
tationS and marches and their unique
performances were heartily applauded.
One of the most interesting features of
the entertainment was the cake walk
by Master Charles and Miss Bella Ra-
pheai, of Chicago, grandchildren of Mr..
aud Mrs. Simon Lebrecht, of this city.
The little couple exhibited remarkable
skill in movement and glided to the
music with perfect dignity IN beautiful
and attractive attire. No performance
was more heartily applaudesl in Medi-
icine Lodge than this one and the little
folks won many admirers III Medicine
Lodge. The audience In appreciation
of the cake walk, presented the young
artists with box of chocolates after the
performance REGULATIONS suitable to
the occasion were rendered by Misses
Nella Southworth, MyrtiIla Cook and
Effie Green. all of which were greatly
appreciated. The proceeds CT the even
ing were over SS2 which was exception
ally good considering the small price OF
admission. Miss Green was highly com
plimented on her great success both in
the entertainment and in the kindergar.

At the annual school meeting last
Thursday Allen w. Smith was re-elect-
ed treasurer with no opposition. Mr..
Smith had stated that he did not desire
TO serve longer but his friends prevailed
on him TO serve another term.
A levy Of 20 mills for school purposes,
and term of 9 months beginning Sept.
4th. Was voted.
The graded school proposition was
lost for the reason that the voters fail.
cd to come out. The law requires a
majority of the votes in the district to
change from an ungraded to a graded
school. There was no vote against the
proposition but only 12l voted while
l56 votes wore necessary. Tho board
and others who have taken an interest
10 tho matter are agitating q special
election and elsewhere we publish an
article written by Prof. Shepardson
touching on the benefits to be derived
from the graded school in contrast to
the hindrances of an ungraded school.
There are many reasons why the prop
osition should prevail, and it would
have prevailed ct the meeting if the
time would not have been so short after
the matter was talked up.
There are 345 children of school age
in this district-159 white males, 173
white female, cOlored males and 6
cOlored females.
The board met on Saturday night to
consider application of teachers. Prof.
Shepardson, as principal, Mrs. Anna
Hahn. in the primary department, and
Miss Jennie McGregor, In room 3, were
re employed. The remaining places
will be filed later.
Our schools were never in better
shape than they are at the present
time. The board and instructors are
rendering the district excellent service.
