vas argued by Messrs. Bracket, Brown

lcea into his head that he could invent
something valuable in which phosphorus

and commenced to handle it. He soon
lad phosphorus all over his hands and
arms and it ignited. He tried to put it
cut in water, but that only made IT
worse. His hands were fearfully burned.
He brought suit for damages and the
suit was thrown out on a demurrer. His
claim for damages is based on the the
ory that such a dangerous thing as
phosphorus should have been accompa-
MED by written instructions and a
warning; but the attorneys for the de-
tense argued that the druggist is not
supposed to instruct everybody on the
use of ordinary articles Of commerce
like phosphorus. Just what Gibson was
going to do with the phosphorus does
not appear.

The railroad commission will reopen
the long troublesome question OF better
train service on the Milwaukee railroad
between Marion and Council Bluffs. The
original complaint, which was signed by
a great many bushes men in the towns
along the division and by travelling men,
was never considered by the commits
sion, but an agreement was entered into
which was satisfactory for the time to
the committee of travelling men in
charge, and the complaint was allowed
TO lie without action. Now the travel
ing men have taken it up again and will
insist on new passenger train each
way over the division and have asked
the railroad commission for a date for
a hearing.

TROUT KILLED CRAVINGS.
The Fish Commission Failed to Allow
for Poetic License and Lost
Their Fish.

Sportsmen will rejoice to know that
the government fish commission seems
to have solved the problem of propa-
eating grayling. There are very few
grayling streams in the world, and q
few of those are in the United States.
Two of the best are in northern
Michigan and the rest in Montana.
The grayling inhabits streams similar
to those in which trout thrive. They
are different from the trout in appear
ance, more delicate but equally gamy,
and take practically the same bait and
the same flies. In the Michigan
streams trout were Planted with the
grayling. says the New York Times,
for the fish commission believed that
II Tennyson's brook could hold
"Here and there lusty trout. and here and
there grayling."
the brooks of Michigan could be made
to do likewise. But they failed to al.
low for poetic license, and discovered
when too late that the trout destroyed
their little rivals. An attempt was
made to propagate the disappearing
fish, but the attempt failed. Then
some one noticed that the grayling Of
Montana seemed to be of different
variety, and more hardy. The commits
sion tried these and is succeeding adj
mirably in their propagation.

cANADA'S CAPITAL AROUSED.
Never Was There Such Excitement
Physicians' Association Try
ing to Explain.

Ottawa, Can, Nov. 25.-This city is
stirred up as never before. Some seven
years ago the local papers published
an account of O. man named George
II. Kent, of 40s Gilmour street, who
was dying of Bright's Disease and
who at the very last moment after sew
eral of our best physicians had de-
clared he couldn't live twelve hours,
was saved by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
People who know how low Mr.. Kent
was refused to believe that he was
cured permanently, and the other day
in order to clinch the matter the pa
pers published the whole case over
again and backed up their story by
sworn statements made by Mr.. Kent
in which he declares most positively
that in 1894 he was given up by the
doctors and that Dodd's Kidney Pills
and nothing else saved him, and furth-
er that since the day that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills sent him back to work seven
years ago, he has not lost single min
ute from his work Che is a printer in
the American Note Printing Com
pany).
Mr.. Kent is kept quite busy during
his spare hours answering inquiries
personally and by letter, but he is SO
grateful that he counts the time well
spent. Indeed he and his wife have
shown their gratitude to Dodd's Kid
ney Pills in a very striking way by
having their little girl, born in 1896,
christened by the name Of "Dodds."
Altogether it is the most sensational
case that has ever occurred in the his
tory of medicine in Canada and the
perfect substantiation of every detail
leaves no room to doubt either the
completeness or the permanency of
the cure.
The local Physicians have made the
case of Kent and Dodd's Kidney Pills
the subject of discussion at several of
the private meetings of their Associa-
ton.

KANSAS TORN APART
Mig Enough for Cows to
Fall In.

The attention of the Kansas state
board Of agriculture has been called to
occurrences which are mystifying the
alfalfa farmers of Jewell and Republic
counties. 1t is reported that great
cracks and sink holes are appearing in
the alfalfa fields there, says Topeka
correspondent of the New York Sun.
The cracks are sometimes rods in
length, from two to six feet in depth,
and from one to ten feet wide. They
appear only in alfalfa fields, and the
farmers have never before seen any
thing like them.
They do not come gradually, but
suddenly. 1t is becoming dangerous to
drive a team across alfalfa fields be-
cause the ground may suddenly sink
beneath it.
Some section hands were working on
q railroad track few days ago near
an alfalfa field on the farm of Edward
Randall, not far from Jewell City. They
heard COW low but there was no cow
in sight. The sound seemed to come
from under the ground.
They made a search and discovered
the COW in an alfalfa sink hole, several
feet below the surface. The COW was so
weak that she could not stand after
she had been dug out.
The alfalfa plants have very long
roots. One theory is that these roots
loosen the ground so that it is washed

81. Jacobs OIL for est-Colds, Bron-
chitis, Group and Pleurisy.

Sts jacobs OtI tOr Che1t-CO10n, BrOn.
chitis, Group and Pleurisy.
An outward application for bronchial diff
iculties is many times far more effective
than syrups, cough mixtures, cod liver oil,
&C., simply because it penetrates through
to the direct cause, which is, as q rule, an
accumulation of matter or growth tightly
adhering to the bronchial tubes.
St.. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables it
to loosen these adhesions and to induce free
expectoration. Cases have been known
where expectorations have been examined
after st. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and
the exact formation was clearly shown,
where the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irrita-
ton OF the delicate mucous membrane of
the bronchae is quickly removed by the
healing and soothing properties Of st ia
cobs Oil. In cases OF Group and whoop-
ing cough in children st. Jacobs Oil will be
found superior to any other remedy.
st. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. 1t is clean to use-not at all greasy
or oily, as it's name might imply. For rheu-
matism, govt, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis,
