CITY NOTES.

eigner named Emile Camia which he
CLAIMS will prevent death in case of
premature burial. The device consists
of tube three and a half inches in di-
ameter, fitted over an aperture in the
coffin, at the top of this tube is her.
metically sealed box. On the breast of
the supposed dead body is placed ball,
to which is attached a rod. The least
movement of the chest or of the body
will be communicated co to the signal box
above ground. The movement of the
body raises spring which causes door
in the box to fall over, admitting light
and air to the coffin. 1t would be poss-
ible for a man to live for two days un-
der such conditions. The same motion
causes bell to ring for half an hour
1t also sets off rocket, WHICH in the
night serves to call the attention of those
in charge of the cemetery.
Mr.. Camis allowed himself to be bur-
led recently to prove the efficacy of the
device, and the test was successful.
The spring term of the Toland Uni
versities located at La Crosse, Eau
Claire, Monroe and Wausau, Wis, and
Winona and Fairmont, Mimi, begins
March 4th. Special inducements to
students entering on or before that
date. Mr.. Toland's schools have re-
ceived liberal patronage from this
town and vicinity, and the fact that
every student, who has graduated, has
secured desirable employment, makes
special commentator unnecessary.

traits of more than 800 of Mr.. 1oland's
graduates now holding positions, sent
free. Address F. j. Toland, La Crosse,

One of the knights of the green table
last week, who had a considerable
amount of leisure time after the closing
of the gambling rooms, conceived the
thought that it would be a good idea to
have Carrie Nation come to this city
and do little missionary work. He
therefore sat down and penned the fol-
lowing telegram addressed to her at
Chicago
Coast clear. Town wide open.
Come at once. Bring your hatchet."
He signed his name and had the des-
patch sent over the wire, but as yet has
received no response from Carrie, she
evidently thinking that there is better
field to work on in Kansas.
