Ghosts would frighten many people
who are not afraid of germs. Yet the
germ is real danger. If this micro
scopic animalism could be magnitied to
size in proportion to its deadliness it
would show like giant python, or fire
breathing dragon. The one fact to re-
member is that the germ is powerless to
harm the body when the blood is pure.
1t is far easier to keep the germ out than
to drive it out after it obtains hold
in the system. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery is the most powerful
and perfect of the blood purifying med
icines. 1t increases the quantity as well
as the quality of the blood, and enables
the body to assist disease, or to throw it
off if disease has obtained footing in
some weak organ. When ever the di-
gestion is impaired, the nutrition OF the
body is diminished, for the blood is
made from the food which is eaten, and
half digested food cannot supply the
body with blood in quantity and quality
adequate to its needs For this con-
dition there is no remedy equal to
Golden Medical Discovery" 1t cures

An Elephant's Appetite.

Bolivar, the big elephant out at the
St. Louis zoo, has an appetite that
makes even the ostrich enviOus. Being
strictly q vegetarian, his diet is Of
course limited to hay and grain, with a
few vegetables. The small boy who de-
ludes himself with the belief that he is
affording any gastronomic pleasure to
Bolivar By throwing q single peanut
into his cavernous mouth would be
rather surprised to know that the ele-
phAnt regards $50 pounds Of food In
one day as q rather slim allowance. He
would eat 500 pounds If that amount
were provided. In fact, he would eat
all day and suffer no Ill effects. All
elephants are gluttons. Those that
travel with shows would eat up all the
profits were it not for the fact that
showmen limit them to about 100
pounds of provender day. This limit
ed allowance seems to keep them In
good condition, but no elephant ever
acknowledged he had enough to eat.

BOYS. Improve Your Chances.

Many boys neglect chances Of mental
improvement. They do not rea1ze
what 1t is to have an education till they
get into q company Of boys when some
thing comes up for discussion and find
that they must sit still instead OF TAX
ing an active part. After an experience
Of this sort they usually bemoan their
fate and say they had no chance to
learn. Some boys leave school sooner
than they ought to either from choice
or compulsion. 1t Is usually the ones
who stop from choice that grunhle at
fate. When boy stops going to school
from choice, the main cause nearly al
ways lies in his not being Industrious
or caring what the future has IN store
for him.-American Boy.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Suit to Detinue for Possession of
Rails Claimed by the Wheeling
Traction COMPANY

A suit in detinue by Alfred Dimmach
against the WheeIng Traction Company
was filed in the Office of the clerk of the
Circuit Court yesterday afternoon. Mr.
Dimmach seeks to obtain possession of
steel rails of the value of $3.50 and fit
tings worth about $3.50 He furnished
bond in the sum of $2250 and the
Sheriff went over to the old ball park
and took possession of the property in
volved.
The case is very interesting It is
the outgrowth of the sale by the Wheel
ing Traction Company to John G. Craw-
ford, of Cameron, of the improvements
and personal property upon the ball
grounds. Mr.. Crawford sold the lum-
Der in the grand stand and fences at a
profit of about $lo5. He sold a number
of rails owned by the Traction Com
pany, which are stored on the grounds,
to Mr. Dimmack, who is a junk dealer
Mr.. Dimmack had disposed OF some Of
the rails and was shipping them 10
Pittsburg when he was stopped by the
Traction Company. who took posses
sion of the rails. This brought on the
suit which was instituted yesterday.
The Traction Company claims that

would have insured them choice OF
tickets before the $50 arrivals came.
SO that patrons who came at the time
advertised could not have secured
choicer seats, or a greater number of
them than they did. The trouble was
that the demand for down stairs seats
was about twice as great as the seating
capacity of the lower floor
Mr.. Feinler says the charge that any
thing was done in the interest of spec
ulators is entirely without foundation.
He stated that the seats marked off the
chart when the sale opened, are seats
which are always marked of, embrac-
ing seats for the press. and standing
orders which are filled for every per-
Torrance in the season. He received
several telgrams and long distance
phone calls. asking him to reserve
seats. and declined to do so until his
regular patrons in the city had been
supplied with tickets.
Mr.. Feinler also denies the imputa-
ton that he attempted to "gouge" pa
irons uoOn prices. The scale of adver-
tised prices did not specify the prices of
balcony seats. The range was from
fifty cents to $3.50, and the general ad-
mission TO the balcony tonight will be
fifty cents.
The matter of admission prices, con-
trary to the general public impression.
does not rest solely with the home
manager. The scale of prices is very
often stipulated in the contract, and as
a matter of fact. when prices have been
advanced, in five out of six cases. it was
because of the insistence of business
managers. Mrs. Fiske's business man
ager wired Mr. Feinler to reserve a
portion of lower floor seats Tor two
dollars. but he had already advertised
a scale of prices ranging no higher
than $l.50, and he felt it would be an
injustice to patrons. and might lead to
just such unfavorable comment as was
caused by the reserved seat sale yester-
day.
