The owner of the wagon at tributed the disaster directly to a ser want of the city. The councilmen re- fused to offer any financial comfort or even personal sympathy. They said that horses unfamiliar with water should not be brought into contact with it and that therefore the com plainant was the chief if not sole con tributor to his own misfortune.
 NEEDED FIXING.-This world is not a bed of roses even for the man that owns an automobile. Professor Creager yesterday afternoon had his new horseless carriage out for an excr- else spin up and down Washington street. He treated number of his friends to a ride and finally asked Ben Doris to take a little spin with him. Mir. Doris was a little nervous but he climbed in and the machine was headed east on Washington. At Center it was turned north and almost at the same moment the left front wheel began to wobble and all but laid down on it's joh The burr on the wheel had worked loose and the balls in the bearings dropped out Before it could be brought to a standstill a horse took fright and a runaway was narrowly averted But MT. Creager was prepared for just such an emergency and in about a minute was giving an exhibition of man re- pairing an automobile in public. the center of attraction for large. and. just at that time, not too envious an audience.

might be mistaken for the reeling of q

the Earring hum of tasty driven mo-

The reason of the noise is that the
beetle has with great pains climbed up
certain height from the ground, and
in order to ascertain whether he has
got far enough. he erectS himself on
his stand. lifts his wing cases, shakes
out his wings and begins to agitate

appeared as if by magic.
1t Is very certain that the tempera-

BY inquiry it was learned that hun
dreds of residents who had lived upon
the immediate edge of the lake had
been obliged TO move back three or
four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences.
Physicians readily admit that it is
not always possible to SAY when one

always be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature. but probably
also to changes in the electric condi-

Picric acid Is a bright yellow sub

the destructive effect of a bursting

greater than that of shell filled with

extent less barbarous than shrapnel
