Expansion in Trade.

The rapid growth of our business
with Japan in rails and machinery
during the past four years is an in
dication of what may be accomplished
in that quarter in the future under
proper encouragement. Four years
ago American rails were unknown in
Japan, but at the present they more
than double in quantity the rails
which come from England which up
TO 1896 constituted the chief source
of supply, 1t is believed that Amer
leans have it in their power to prac-
tically control the supply of rails and
railroad material generally with
Japan during the next decade. As
an indication, it is cited that the
Carnegie company signed a contract
at Kobe for 5000 tons of rails at a
price of $3,2s per ton under the low
est English bid. The men who man
ufacture these rails contribute to the
well being of the farmers whose sup
plies feed and clothe them.-Hard-

TWO SMALL BARNS BURNED
People We're Startled by the Ringing
of the Bell and Relieved That
1t Was No Worse.

For the first time in several weeks
the ringing of the fire bell startled the
people of this town last Wednesday
and they arose from their dinners and
ran to the fourth ward, whittier the
high mounting smoke and flames
directed the crowd. Running along,
the reporter heard small boy declare
between gasps: IL do hope it is the
school house" And it looked from
town as if it might be anywhere in the
fourth ward.
1t proved to be two barns on the
alley on east Neosho street between
Buckeye and Cottonwood. The fire
started in the barn belonging to the
DR.. Teas property on Buckeye street
and occupied by A. NJ. Easton and b..
F. Webber. II. b. Francis, who re-
Gently sold out in the north part of
town, had driven his covered wagon
into the yard and was visiting Mr..
llaston, his father-in-law. He had
two horses and a new buggy in the
barn. Mrs. Easton went into the yard
to feed the chickens and saw smoke
issuing from the barn. She ran to
the door and saw smoke and flames
| springing from the hay manger in
front of one of the horses. She sum
moned the family and the four women
who were at home managed between
hysterical sobs to get the two horses
and the buggy out of the barn 1t was
full of hay and burned quickly, finally
falling with a crash. Thesparks fired
the barn of II. G. Manley just across
the alley and it too burned.
Before the latter barn fell the fire
department arrived and was greeted
with jeers from the crowd. Coming at
noon the alarm found most
of the fremen at dinner and this
caused the delay. Nothing could be
done save to watch the neighborhood
and prevent other fires and the draf
from the barns carried large pieces OF
burning shingles for a full BLOCK
away.
The origin of the fire is unknown
one of the little SHAPED boys ventur
ing the theory that boys were smoking
cigareets and set it afire.

He Used Angle Worm Oil,

Galena Times.
Robert Lishey, colored, of this city,
has little son nearly seven years
old who conceived the idea the other
day of rubbing angle worm oil on his
body to make himself timber, that he
might perform feats of contortion
which could not be done by his com
panions. The boy caught a lot of the
worms, built a fire in the yard and
rendered the worms into oil, which he
applied from head to foot. In few
hours he became so weak he could not
stand up and had to go to bed. His
condition is serious and may result in
death or make him an invalid for life

The Typevriter ana the Eye.

There is the general opinion among
oculists that the eye is much relieved
by the general introduction OF type
written matter. a recent medical work
upon diseases of the eye gives great
many proofs IN substantiation Of this
opinion.
The characters are so large on the
keys that there is no appreciable strain
on the vision, and when dexterity IS at
tained the eyes can scarcely be said to
be used at ALL A vast strain is taken
off the eye by writing with the type
writer instead of the pen. but the adj
vantages of reading the typewritten
matter are even more important from
a medical point Of view, and the strain
upon the hands is also slight.
1t is said that a person can work for
eight consecutive hours, with slight in
terruptlons, without the hands being
conscious OF fatigue. In using the
typewriter the additional labor Of To-
cusing the eyes calls the muscles into
undue use. ana the result Is that many
defects OF vision which would not
probably be discovered under normal
conditions are brought to the front -
