MEETS DEATH ON TIE RAIL.
Stranger Thought to BE John A. Hall
Killed Near Cambridge.


A stranger whose name was proba-
bly, John A Hall was run down and
killed by passenger train No. on the
Rock Island & Peoria road between
Cam bridge and Utah late Saturday
afternoon. The man was walking on
the track going in the same direc-
ton as the train. He was APP
parently deaf, as he gave no
heed to the engine whistle. Engineer
George Miller applied his brakes,
but was unable to bring the locomo-
tive to stop before it struck the un-
fortunate. He was struck and hurled
beside the track. He was uncon-
seriousness when picked up and placed
aboard the train and taken to Galva.
just before the accident he told man
whom he met that his name was John
A. Hall. that he had recently been
discharged from a hospital in Rock
Island and that he was searching for
work. He was about 40 years of age.
The name of John A Hall is not on
the records at St. Anthony's hospital
although he may have been a patient
there under different name.
1t was learned from a letter found
in the dead mans pocket that he had
a brother, Z. A. Hall, at Valle~ Neb.
A telegram was sent there. The reply
requested that the remains be in
TERED at Galva.

Half Mile Of Babies.

"Baby boulevard Is the popular name
Of the long stretch of broad cement
walk which skirts the west edge OF
Lincoln Park, from North avenue to
Center street, in Chicago. An obser-
want man, walking south, passed twen-
ty-six baby buggies and met thirty-two;
in two buggies were bowling twins. A
Lincoln park policeman is authority for
the statement that there are more ba'
bies trundled over this walk than over
any other length Of sidewalk in the
city. He said in one day he checked
up 124 fond fathers, doting mothers,
nurse maids and small brothers and SIS
ters showing baby buggies. go-carts'
wheeled chairs and perambulators over
the cement slabs. And that was only
five hours during the whole day. That
was on q Saturday. On Sundays they

PEARLS O: THOUGHT.

The greatest architect and the one
most needed is hope.
A mans tyranny is measured only
by his power to abuse.
Great trials seem to be a necessary
preparation for great duties.
It is the society of encouragers that
makes the wheels of the world go
smoothly.
The artist uses q stone and it is a
statue; the mason uses stone and it
is doorstep.
Sorrow leavens the lump of human
pride and expands the body until the
soul will fit into it.
OCCUPATION is one great source of
enjoyment No man, properly occu-
pied, was ever miserable.
There is no better ballast for keep
ing the mind steady on its keel and
saving it from all risk of crankiuess
than business.
Weigh not so much what mea assert
as what they prove. truth IS slmp!e
anil naked, and needs not invention
to apparel her comeliuess.
The moral man is merciful because
he prays for mercy; he is lenisnt in
his Judgment, more desirous to reform
than to punish; he forgets wrongs
rather than bears malice, and has not
in hun the smallest element of vim
dictive disposition.
Poverty is stupefying; wealth is
enervating. Between the two lies the
great, blessed work a-day world where
people are happy in doing something
for somebody" and pleasure and en-
joyment come as the aftermath of
endeavor and exertion.
Some one has said that the anniver-
saries are days to make other people
happy in, but sometimes when they
come they seem to be full of shadows,
and the power of giving JOY to others,
that inalienable right which ought to
Tighten the saddest heart, the most
Indifferent sympathy, sometimes even
this seems withdrawn.

A Little Lapse.

Being q pretty bride, which creates
a correct impression that Detroit has
many pretty women, but few like
her, she liked to dress and see that the
gifts Of nature did not lose through her
neglect to properly adorn them. OF
course they went to another city IN
celebration Of the nuptials, for the Gus
tom seems as exacting as the require
ments Of fashion.
Man like, he had some business to
attend to, and it was arranged just
when she should leave the hotel to meet
him, what street she should walk along,
for the distance was O short one, and
where they should join each other.
Speaking after the manner OF men,
she dressed to the limit, and It was a
charming figure that went tripping
from the ladies' entrance Of the hotel.
She could see that she was the magnet
for all eyes as she passed down the
crowded thoroughfare, but thought that
some looked at her IN ratner CURIOUS
way. But why not? She had on her
best, she locker her best and she felt
her best, a combination not to be beat
en-. Yet she rather wondered.
Here you are, my DEAR was her

the hotel and only had white veil tied
over her brow.-Detroit Free Press.

An Egyptian Stern Wheeler.

An Egyptian stern wheeler is built
to float over the shoals and rapids OF
the Nile. There is no going down
long slippery iron ladders to her
engine room, for she has no hold,
everything being carried above water
line-cabins, stores, and engines; in
deed, the steam cylinders lie exposed
one on either side, and a little forward
of the very primitive:looking stern
paddle wheel, which looks more as if
it belonged to some agricultural i'm
plement than a steamship. The rea-
son for this is that although nearly
100 feet long, she only draws about
one foot nine inches of water, con-
seluently she has no downstairs. Pro-
badly those engaged in the engine
rooms of some of the great liners
which ply to the far East would only
be too glad if, when going throug b
the Red sea, they could bring their
engine room on deck, too, instead OF
seething below in a. temperature
which sometimes exceeds 100 and 80
degrees! What wonder they at such
times faint away, and are brought up
and laid on deck, where they are
brought round roughly but effectively
by the free application of pals of
water drawn from the tepid seal
