WHEN a great railway corporation like
the Northern Pacific voluntarily raises
the wages of its employees, the last ca
lamity bowler in the land should be
called in for yelling "hard times. "
Such is the fact, however. Commenc-
ing March 9th the wages of section men
all along the line of the Northern Pacific
railway were raised Is cents per dav,
and hereafter instead of s1.25 they will
receive 81 40 per day.-Olympidn.
The true reason why the raise was
made was because the company wanted
men and could not get them for a
wage-rate that would scarcely more
than keep body and. soul together.
If Oily really thinks that $1.40 per day
is sufficient pay for the man with the
pick, sledge and crowbar, and that
under this condition the last calamity
bowler should be called in for yelling
hard times,'" his ideas must have
undergone some change or modification
at least, since he contended for an in.
crease of salary for the " overworked''
janitor of the courthouse, whose regu.
larry pay is 40 per cent. in excess OF
the increased railroad wage. This shows
what stalwart magnifiers the lenses of
Oly's party spectacles, really are, when
focused upon anything which may be
dragged in as an evidence of " popular
prosperity"

Wonders in Surgery.

California l. far ahead Of other
states, III some respects, or her ncw>pa-
pcrS are the most phenomenal liars on
record. \ few weeks ago, the Erami-

labor which doubtless taxes the re-
sources OF Il man with 4 weak stomach
to the utmost limit. Now comes a
San Francisco dispatch OF Tuesday
giving the details OF an autopsy per-
formed at the city and county hos
pital, which bids fair TO dispel the idea
held by medical men that a puncture
OF the heart invariably results in death.
The medicos found in the heart OF
Louis Braemcr, who had died from
purulent pleurisy, a broken needle
which had been embedded for years in
the septum of that organ. The frae-
ment found in the heart was part OF
an aspirating needle, which had, it is
believed, been broken oil, while a ply
sician was trying to bring out for
eign fluid under the skin OF the patient.
The doctors who made the autopsy
say that there is no instance on record
wherein the heart of human being
had been pierced and no serious effects
resulting therefrom. The physicians
could find no inflammation or clots.
A liberation of the heart is expected
to develop hemorrhage, but in this
case not the slightest injury is believed
to have followed the piercing of the
heart. Braemer was a blacksmith. He
was As years of age and was in good
health until few days prior to the LIST

prominent stocks advanced, today, with
gains in many cases material. and trad
ing left off with the tone strong and
prices at the best. Traders from time to
time sought to bring about a reaction.
but they were dislodged from one position
after another and the upward movement
became general. The influence of Bur-
inston's strength permeated the whole
list but more particularly affected the
other Changers. which were benefited to
the extent of a point and over. ~
In the final dealings some, stocks were
taken in expectation that the days adj
vance would bring the public into the
market in a aay or TWO. The excess of
exports over imports for January APP
proximating $5,.O000O0 was something of
a sustaining factor. inasmuch as 1t was
taken TO be an easy means of settling for
the large sales of American stocks for
foreign account in the past three weeks.
The healthful tone in stock speculation
received considerable backing from the
confident purchases in the bond market.
