realized when it is remembered that if
the total mileage owned or largely

Huntington was the founder
of the city of Newport News,
Va, and the owner and builder of a
huge shipyard there, which employs
nearly 1000 men.
A characteristic story is told of the
building of the international railroad
in Mexico. The company opened some
coal mines, and Mr.. Huntington
ordered that in employing labor the
preference should be TO native Mexi-
cans. At the end of the first year the
superintendent reported that he had
tried the native labor thoroughly and
that it would not do at all Hunting

Commissioners Release Prisoners.

One of the regular duties of the
board of county commissioners these
days is at each sitting to pass upon
the applications of prisoners in the
county jail for release. Yesterday the
board had batch toconsider and they
passed upon them as follows:
Jack O'Meara, whose time is out, 70
be released and given sixty days in
which to pay his fine, failing which he
is to return to jail.
Joe Nagele, the same.
Frank Harlan, to give peace bond,
have his fine remitted, pay the costs
and be released at the end of his sent
ence.
John Often the same. His time was
up Sunday.
Charles Hunt to be released and
given sixty days to pay his fine.
1t was ordered that lot block 20 in
the city of Moran should be stricken
from the tax rolls, as the lot belongs
to the city and is not taxable.
The county board has finished its
work of making the levies for the diff
ferent townships over the county and
devoted its time to other matters.
1t will be remembered that Ed Rush
ton, Humboldt jointist, left without
standing trial, and the county prepar-
ed to hold his bondsman, w. F. Fuss
man for the amount of the bond. Pre-
ferring the costs in the case to the
bond with its accompanying require
ment that a search be instituted for
Rushton, the commissioners agreed
if Fussman would pay the costs in the
case, amounting to some $40 the ac-
tion would be stopped.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. j. Wooliford, OF
Gas City, have been buttonholing the
members of the board with importu-
nate requests that they permit Mrs.
Ben Smith, their daughter, to escape
from the tolls. Mike LATHE, the man
who suffered most from the wiles o.
Mrs. Smith, adds his prayers to those
of his parents, and some kind of pro,
position was hatched whereby the re
quired $40 or part thereof might bt
dug up.
Today was the time set for the open
ing of bids for the construction of {

Story OF A Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for
uyears by the chains of disease is tn
worst form of slavery. George ID
Williams, of Manchester, Mich, says:
"My wife has been so helpless for
five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two
bottles of Electric Bitters she is
wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work." This supreme
remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel

for the Legislature.

Emporia, Kansas, Aug. 13-George
Plumb brother of the late Senator
p. b. Plumb, was nominated for
representative Saturday inthe Fiftieth
district in fusion convention of
Democrats and Populists. He is a
Mckinley man. He did not attend the
convention, and few days before the
convention he stated on the street
that he expected to vote for Mckinley
and Roosevelt and that he was in
favor of expansion. He has been a
follower of the free silver movement
for, four years and voted for Bryan.
The fact of his return to the support
of the Republican national ticket has
been generally known, but when his
name was put up in the convention
there was a stampede for his .nomina-
tion, and the convention nominated
him with the promise that if he'didn not
accept the nomination the chairman
should again call the convention to-
gether and nominate another man. He
has not refused the nomination.

NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH.
Fractions Horse Carries the Daugh-
ter of J. Pierpont Morgan ON to
the Railroad Tracks.

That Miss Annie Morgan, daughter
of j. Pierpont Morgan, did not lose her
life or suffer serious injury few days
ago, while driving spirited but nervous
horse, is due TO that young woman's
GOODNESS and the strength of Whit
taker, Mr.. Morgan's coachman. Miss
Morgan had an engagement to play
golf at Garrisons, and arrived at the
West Point crossing just as the flagman
had lowered the gates. Seeing that the
young woman was in hurry, and know
ing that enough time would elapse for
her to safely cross before the train
came through the tunnel, the flagman
raised the gates and Miss Morgan
touched up her horse with the whip.
The animal bolted suddenly forward,
and then stopped in the middle OF the
tracks. In another instant the animal
had become unmanageable and tore
around in circle.
He jumped wildly and then dashed
up the track. The train was then in
the tunnel, running toward the party
at the rate of 40 miles an hour. TIC
escape seemed impossible. A high wall
of solid rock rose more than so feet
high to the left, while along the right
track ran the Hudson river. II was
critical moment for Miss Morgan and
her coachman when the head of the en-
CINE hove in sight.
BY some fortunate chance the horse
had ceased his race forward and was
now trying TO beat his brains out against
the rails. At this moment Miss Morgan
leaped and landed on the edge of the
river. The horse swayed toward the
south-bound track, and the train dashed
along, just grazing the animals head.
The horses jaw was broken, but as
Whitaker and the wagon were on the
up track no other damage was DONE
Although Miss Morgan was badly
shaken up, she continued her journey
to Garrisons, and the horse was taken
home.

The Use Of a Lemon.

There are a great many people in
this world who fancy that when lemon
ade and lemon extract and lemon drops
are catalogued, there isn't very much,
left for this familiar fruit. But when
these uses are met the value of the
lemon are scarcely comprehended. AS
remedy for cold few things are
better for cold than lemon Juice and
sugar. Very few of these disease germs
that cause us the most annoyance are
able to survive contact with the juice
OF the lemon. II, after coming in from
a dusty street, or after mingling with
the unwashed and unkempt crowds in
which we sometimes find ourselves,
we would cut off slice Of lemon, rub
the face with 1t. and rinse the mouth
and throat with the clear juice many
diseases that now affiict us would be
kept at a proper distance. After hay
ing the hands in hot water, or after
using many malordorous substances,
a thorough rubbing with lemon will re-
store the delicacy of the skin, and re-
move any objectionable smell. The
finger nails are greatly improved by
applications of demon juice. Pimples
and blackheads may be removed or

question vital to Ireland. 1t was in
that memorable speech Mr.. Redmond

title of "Uncrowned King" which has
