Grade Crossing Fatality.

Our West Side reporter sends in tho
following startling account Of a serious
fatality:
A valuable and finely bred fox-h Iund,
the property of Mr.. Alexander Thomp-
son of the West Side. met with a shock
ing death by being struck by w. n. Y.
a p train at the bridge crossing Friday
evening. Mr.. Thompson has the con-
gratulations of the community in his
great misfortune. This accident, in con-
nection with the many narrow escapes at
this point, emphasizes what has been said
as to the necessity of some precautions
being taken at this crossing by the rail-
road authorities.
1t seems TO be the s+ntiment OF the
community that gates should be, placed
and watchman stationed there to pre-
vent such catastrophes. However, if
the lives of none but high or low bred
dogs are endangered the people will favor
the "open gate policy for yet awhile.

Statue Struck by Lightning.

STATUE SCrucH ny lightning
The statue OF Liberty on Liberty
island in New York harbor. was struck
twice by lightning on the Fourth Of
July and emerged unframed. The bolt
struck the appraised arm and another
hit it squarely on the forehead. The
statue is protected by the finest sys-
TEN of lightning rods ever made. They
extend from a point above the torch
down the figure and foundation into
the ground, a distance of 305 feet.
Thence they go into the waters of the
bay and end in a system of piping
filed with carbon. A gang Of work.
men have been climbing all over the
statue since the bolts struck it, but
they find that it was not damaged at
all. very much to the establishment Of
those who saw the brilliant display of
electricity which made an aureole
about the goddess forehead when the
shaft struck and seemed to break into
mass of sparks. 1t was in this same
storm that the Standard Oil Com
pany's works at Bayonne were set on
fire by lightning.

Remarkable Watch.

What is said to be the most remark
able piece of mechanism ever put to-
gether by man is a watch made in
Berlin. which measures less than a
quarter of an inch in diameter and
weighs under two grains. The case is
gold, the works and hands are of the
finest tempered steel, and the whole
construction is CT the most approved
plan, while it is declared to keep time
excellently The minute hand is less
than an eighth Of an inch long, the
nour hand less than twelfth Of an
inch. and the second hand not one
sixteenth of an inch long. The cost
of this watch was in inverse proper
ton to its size. for the owned is said
to have paid close upon G40O for it.

". d. Oldham Was q Conspicuous Fig
ure at Kansas City.
One Of the most conspicuous of tha
western politicians at the Kansas City
convention was w. D. Oldham OF Me-
oraska. He has long been recognized
as one Of the best political speakers in
the west. He has twice before been
4 member of the national delegation.
Four years ago he belonged to the con-
testing delegation from that stats.
which was shut out Of the Chieaso
convention at the beginning. As he
expressed it in a recent speech before
the state convention, they went to Chi
cago without tickets, crawled urdsr
the canvas in momentary fear that
some chap would apply a neckyoks TO-
the back of their ears. but when they
finally got inside they captured the
whole show. Oldham has the reputa.
ton of being one of the homeliest
men in the state, and he is proud of it.
He is very careless in his dress and
has been variously taken for cowboy
and farmer. Oldham's oratory is OF
the evangelistic order. He has COM
mand Of homely phrase, perfervid ex-
hortation and broad wit that has made
him a popular favorite at every state
convention, and no gathering of that
sort takes place without speech from
bill" Oldham. He is tall and heavily
built, and has all the "earmarks'' OF
the typical cowboy of the west in the
matter of dress.

about 222,000 square miles. On ac-
count Of its elevation the climate is
for the most part cool, temperate and
healthy. There is no winter in the
ordinary sense of the word. The sur.
face is great plateau with a general
height of 1000 to 1000 feet above the.
sea. It is varied by an extensive river
system and mountain chains, the lat
ter rarely reaching an elevation OF
more than 5000 feet. In the southern
part Of the state are several lines of
railway, coffee is largely exported, inn.
migration has been considerable, and
the commercial conditions resemble
those of the neighboring states. Sac
Panlo and Rio de Janeiro. The north
ern part, including four-h.ths Of the
area, is without railways and is more
isolated, self-supporting and charac-
teristically Brazilian. In this region.

THE AMERICAN BOY.
How He May Become Manly and Self
Reliant.

bow He May Become Manly and Self
Reliant.
Of course we have a right to expect
that the American boy shall turn out
to be good American man. Now,
the chances are strong that he won't
be much of a man unless he is good
deal of boy He must not be cow
ard, or weakling, bully, shirk, or
a prig. He must work hard and play
hard. He must be clean minded and
clean-lived, and able to hold his own
under all circumstances and against
all corners. 1t is only on these condl-
tions that he will grow into the kind
of American man OF whom America
can be really proud. There are always
in life countless tendencies for good
and for evil, and each succeeding gen
Grafton sees some Of these tendencies
strengthened and some Weakened; nor
is it by any means always, alas! that
the tendencies for evil are weakened,
and those for good strengthened. But
during the last few decades there GER
tainly have been some notable changes
for good in boy life The great growth
in the love of athletic sports, for in
stance, while freught with danger if it
becomes one-sided and unhealthy, has,
beyond all question, had an excellent
effect in reared manliness. Forty or
fifty years ago, the writer on Ameri-
can morals was sure to deplore the
effeminacy and luxury of young Amer
leans that were born of rich parents.
The boy that was well off then, espe-
cially in the big eastern cities, lived
too luxuriously, took to billiards as his
chief innocent recreation and felt small
shame in his inability to take part in
rough pastimes and field sports. Now
adays. whatever other faults the sons
of rich parents may tend to develop,
he is at least forced by the opinion OF
all his associates Of his own age to
bear himself well in manly exercise,
and to develop his body, and. there
fore, to certain extent, his character,
in the rough sports that call for pluck,
endurance and physical address. Coy.

him SO badly that he conld not walk

treated by physicians, also used several
kinds of liniment and two and hale
gallons Of whisky in bathing it, but
nothing gave any relief until he began

SUMMER RESORTS.

ITO the mountains our people in in
ereasing numbers yearly look for those
days OF relaxation and recreation nee
essary TO maintain the human ma
chine In fair working con iition. The
languorous sloth Of the seashore proves
very seductive while It lasts. but
many have decided that the an
nual outing should provide not only
radical change of air and surround
ings. but also such stimulation OF
tagging energies as win provide Drawn
and vigor for the return TO labor. For
this they urge the mountain climb and
ramble. the balsam OF the mountain
pines. and the clear. unaduItOrated
mountain air.
In this direction the Shasta Route
now affords a wealth OF attractions.
The entire line OF road from Ashland
TO Reddlng is studded with charming
and accessible hotels and camps. where
are cheer and comfort and healing al
reasonable cost. and where you can
hunt. fish. ride. loaf. or play with
equal facility.
'or II you look for healing waters,

than the springs OF Ashland. Colestin.
