Artificial Limbs.

An artificial member of the body is
IN expensive luxury. A good leg, well
made and serviceab1e, will cost the
wearersfrom $75 to $500; while for a fan
cy article, with all the latest improve
ments, almost any price may be paid.
Artificial arms cost about the same
amount as legs.
This manufacture is Of very ancient
origin. Sergius, the grandfather of
Catilene, in early life lost his right
hand IN battle, but made himself an
iron substitute with which he could
handle and use to advantage sword OF
lance.
About fifteen years ago a tomb was
opened at Carua, which contained a re-
markable specimen of a well-made ar
tilcial leg.
It was composed of thin sheets of
bronze, riveted together and fastened
to a wooden core. Iron bars connected
he leg with a bronze belt round the
waist of the skeleton, and there were
traces of a wooden foot.

There is more Catarrh in this e c
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be i~ncurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
snounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
>stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and, therefore requires
constitutional treatment Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
It is taken internally, in doses from 1O
drops to q teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces OF
the system. They offer m hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

fell to the ground, the heavy wagon
wheels passing over his head and
crushing his skull. He died in
stantly. He was unmarried and
leaves q mother and sister to

THE NEWS In IOWA
NEW ROAD CONNECTIONS
PLANS Said to Have Been Made for ID,

PLANS Said to Have Been Made for Du-
luth s. New Orleans.
DIES MONIES, March 22.-Correspon-
derce received in Des Moines from
President Wardell, of the Duluth &
New Orleans road, states that the COM
pany has practically arranged with
Winona, Southern & Western and the
Green Bay & Winona roads for merg-
ing the properties into one system
with the Duluth & New Orleans as
soon as the latter road is completed
from Des Moines to Usage. The Green
Bay Sc Winona road extends from
Green Bay, on Lake Michigan,
to Winona, and the Winona,
Southern & Western from Wi
mona southwest through Rochester,
Mimi, to Usage, in Mitchell county.
Both roads were built by Winona cap
italists, the Simpson interests in Wi
mona controlling very largely. and at
the present time are operated as one
system, though the two corporations
have not been merged. The cores
pondence states that it is certain that
the new road will be completed this
year from Des Moines to Iowa Falls
and that it is hoped to have in opera
ton about 100 miles oft before winter
sets in, which will bring the road to
within forty miles Of Usage. He says
it is hoped to complete this section
next season and to make a start on an
extension to the southwest from Des
Moines. A survey has been made
south Of Des Moines to a crossing OF
the Rock Islands Winterset branch
near Springhill. 1t is announced that
it is the intention of the company to
eventually build to Patonsberg, Mo-,
to a connection with the Kansas City
Southern, the reorganized Pittsburg &
Gulf road, and to secure traffic
agreement with it that will open a
continuous mail route from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Great Lakes through
the Mississippi country. The
claim that active building operations
will commence within month and
that teams and men for the work have
been engaged, is reasserted.

A MASKED MAN DID 1T.
Held Up Passenger Train Near
Hamburg.

Held Up Passenger Train Near
Hamburg.
ST. JOSEPH. No, March 25.-A lone
robber. wearing false face, with a
huge black mustache painted on the
mask, held up the south-bound Kan
sas City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs
train four miles south of Hamburg,
Iowa, at 1870 o'clock a. m. The train
was in charge of Conductor Billy Me-
Gee. Flagman Moore was first ac-
costed by the robber at the rear end of
the tram. Using Moore as shield,
the robber went through the sleeper
and chair car, getting $500 in cash and
a gold watch. He pulled the bell cord
and when the train slowed down
jumped off and escaped in the dark
ness. The robbery was reported to
the Burlington general offices here
from Langdon, the first station south
of Hamburg. Dispatches to Council
Bluffs estimate the gain of the robber
at $500, and one received in Omaha
puts it at 5000. President Burt and
Chief Engineer Berry of the Union
Pacific road were among the passen-
gers and Mr.. Burt was held up for $50,
while Mr.. Berry managed to escape
loss.

gagged United States Ambassador
White in conversation, and he referred

of the German office made the follow
ing statement:
Germany does not intend for the
present an extension of the German
sphere of influence in the Shan Tung
province of China. Certainly however,
she will endeavor to maintain order
there and to prevent her own and also
the American and French missionaries
in The province from Deing disturbed or

quiet and no expeditions are occurring

BREyITIES.

In a runaway at Mason City
one day last week Charles Brandon
was thrown from buggy and killed.
Two others who were with him were
hurt. The horse also fell and broke
it's neck.
A servant in the Hotel Allen at
Washington was few days ago taken
down with the smallpox, and consid-
cradle uneasiness exists. The hotel
has been quarantined, and it is claimed
there is no danger of a spread.
Sperels & Cochran's saloon at Fl.
Dodge was robbed recently of SioO in
cash and checks. The robbers effected
an entrance through the basement.
They then pried open trap door and
opened the combination on the safe.
The saloon is located right in the bus
mess part of the city. No clew has
been found.
At OslSaloosa recently Walter Hart
graves and Robert Davenport, held by
the state for the attempted hold-up
and shooting of Marion Thompson, of
Oskaloosa, on the evening of Deem
Der IS last, were found guilty as
charged in the indictments against
them. The first was for assault with
intent to commit great bodily injury
and the second for assault with intent
to commit manslaughter.
A Cedar Rapids dispatch says: There
have been the most sensational devel-
opments in connection with the arrest
of the eight young men charged with
placing dynamite on the steps of st.
Paul's Methodist Church, and as re-
suit Albert Kuba has been held to the
grand jury in bonds of $1,000, and
Charles Mettie has been arrested in
Michigan town. These two men will
be charged with attempting to blow up
the home of Attorney William L. Cron
last Thanksgiving night, and as Kuba
has already made partial confession
there is absolutely no doubt about
their guilt. Their conviction will fol-
low without trouble. After the arrest
of the eight men and the developments
following their arrest, the police came
to the conclusion that Albert Kuba
knew something in regard to the. at
tempt to blow up the home of Attorney
Cron, and it was on that line that they
directed their every effort. They Sc
cured partial confession from Kuba.
They did not give the matter out, how
ever, until they received a message
from Michigan sheriff stating that
Mettie was under arrest. They then
arraigned Kuba and held him to the
grand jury in bonds of $1,000, which
he will not be able to furnish.

A dozen or more years ago a farmer
twisted a bit of iron about a wire
fence, and noticed that his cattle
avoided 1t. Thus originated the use Of
the barbed-wire fence, which has cut
the great free prairies into ranches.
1t has lacerated and cut from water
countless numbers CT the wild animals
that once roamed the prairies, and Is
now classed as war material by the
nations. Both in Cuba and in South
Africa the. decentralization wrought by
the deadly barbed-wire fence was
greater than that Of the most improved
guns and powder. The position OF
fence cutter has promoted the drum
mer-boy into the forefront Of danger.

Ord heard his faint cry and paused in
his rush to say, my poor fellow, can
do nothing for you" 81 did not call
you back for that" was the brave re-
ply. 81 am done for; but take my
steel nippers. There may be another
fence beyond that hill, and l won't be
there to cut it for you" The boy lived
to hear the shout Of victory, but the
gallant leader, with the boys nippers
in his hand and the boys devotion last
in his heart, lay dead not many yards
away.
