Jumped on a Ten Penny Nall

The little daughter of J. n. Powell
jumped on an inverted rake made of
ten penny nails, and thrust one nail
entirely through her foot and sec
ond one half way through. Cham
berlain's Pain Balm was promptly APP
piled and five minutes later the pain
had disappeared and no more suffer
ing was experienced. In three days
the child was wearing her shoe as
usual and with absolutely no dis
comfort. Mr.. Powell is wen known
merchant of Portland, Va. Pain
Balm is an antiseptic and heals such
injuries without maturation and in
one-third the time required by the
usual treatment. For sale by all
druggists.

TALES OF THEATRE.

Some sage has said that he who
makes the world laugh adds fresh
laurels daily to his crown, and If
such is the case William Gillette, the
talented actor-author, who is respon-
sible for that enjoyable comedy, ''An
the Comforts OF Home" must GER
tainly be amply crowned, for thous-
ands have laughed over the situations
and delightful dialogue in which the
play abounds. The piece, as popular
as ever and presented as il has not
been in several years, will be the at
traction at Harper's theater next
Sunday.

Birds Songs.

A French writer. Henri Coupon, says
that. Notwithstanding the fact of their
simplicity. the songs of birds cannot be
initiated with musical instruments he
cause of the impossibility of reproduc-
ing their peculiar timbre. The notes OF
birds. while corresponding with our
musical scale. also include vibrations
occupying the intervals between our
notes. The duration of birds songs is
usually very short, two or three sec
onds for thrushes and chatfinches, four
or five seconds for blackbirds. but from
two to five minutes for the lark.

STOCKHOLDERS HAVE ANNUAL
Meet Behind Closed Doors--Rock
Island Capital In
creased.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Chicago. Burlington q
| Quincy railroad company was held in
Chicago yesterday behind closed
DOORS, After adjournment the in
formation was given out that final
action on the subjects before the
meeting had been postponed to an
adjourned meeting there on Nov. Il.
A board of directors is said to have
been elected, but the names were
withheld because it was stated that
there would probably be several
changes made at the next meeting.
The action taken yesterday indi-
Gates that the differences alleged to
exist between the ). j. Hill and f. H.
Hartman interests have not been adj
justed, and until they are no final
action as to the future of the Burl-
ington can be taken. Those differ
ences were originally Occasioned by
the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern securing control of the
burlington and thereby endangering
the Union Pacific interests.
Whatever the outcome of the con-
test may be it seems certain import
ant changes in the management of
the Burlington will be made. There
may be a change in the presidency,
Notwithstanding President Harris is
highly esteemed by both interests.
IT IS safe to say that Vice President
Darius Miller of the Great Northern
VIII be elected Second Vice President
in charge of traffic, and, unless Har-
riman interposes serious objections.
he will become the traffic director of
all the Hill roads, including the
Northern Pacific. MIR. Hartman is
said to favor Vice President Hanna
ford of the Northern Pacific for this
position.

HIGH SCHOOL SHOWS THE
COLLEGE A FEW POINTERS

The Rock Island high school and
Augustana football teams practiced
together last evening on the college
campus. The high school was not
represented by the strongest team it
can muster, but the showing made
was decidedly in its favor. The high
school men were about twenty-five
pounds lighter per man, but they
made much better gains than their
bulky antagonists. Neither of the
teams has game for next Saturday.

A SaImon's Lean.

One of the directors of the Norwegian
fisheries has been endeavoring TO dis
cover the height n salmon will leap
when clearing II waterfall which OBJ
structs its passage up stream. Masts
were placed below the fall to insure
accurate measurements. 1t i3 stated
that n fish can leap to the height Of
twenty feet. When n fish failed to
clear the fall at one bound, it remained
in the falling water and then, with a
rapid twist of the body, gave spring
and was successful.

NEV|N HAS A CLAIM

MuIhern and Schnen Assigning Him
Portion of the Pro-
ceeds.

W. y. Nevin yesterday afternoon
filed with City Clerk Schaffer an OBJ
Jection to the payment of any money
by the city on the Twenty-fourth
street storm drain to any person not
authorized by him to collect it, set
ting forth that he holds an agree
ment with Matthias Schnell and John
Mulhern giving him an interest in
the proceeds of the job.
1t appears that Nevin had a pro-
prietary interest in the finishing of
the contract on the drain when it
was thrown up by Mulhern and his
objection, is of course, brought out
by the assignment of SchnelI's in
terest in the $4,000 due on the con-
tract to the sisters in charge of ST.
Anthony's hospital, which was read
at Monday nights meeting of the
city council.

THAT cARBoNDALE BRIDGE.

From parties living in the vicinity
of the so-called emergency bridge
near Carbondale, we learned that
up to the middle of last week nothing
had been done toward the construc-
tion of the bridge at that point,
so far as material on the ground
was concerned. 1t is now two
months since the contract was
awarded without competition, Oh
the ground that it was case OF
great emergency that would not
permit of delay in calling for bids in
the usual way. We said at the time
that in all probability the public
would have obtained a bridge quicker
and cheaper if the supervisors had
proceeded in the ordinary way, and
time has proven the correctness of
that statement. II is now rumored
that the price, $1,000, is far beyond
what the structure would have cost
had competitive bids been called for.
What has caused the delay in the
erection of this bridge we are not
prepared to say. The hollowness OF
the ''great emergency" cry has beer
demonstrated by the course ofevents.
We do not doubt the sincerity Of
the supervisors on this question
They acted as they thought for the
best interests of the community,
although with undue haste. Some
body has been deceived. 1t would
be a salutary lesson if some citizen
would protest the payment of the
bill for this bridge, if it is construct
ed at all under the emergency con
tract.

THE MOOOC LYNCHING.

The Modoc county lynchers are now
on trial, and it is dollars to doughnuts
that there will be no conviction. There
is reason for this. The citizens of that
county had been annoyed for the past
few years by having their stock stolen,
shot and mutilated, and, after having
invoked the aid of the law on several
occasions without securing a conviction,
took the law in their own hands and
did little Wholesale hanging. Mob
law IS to be deprecated on all occasions,
but the fact still remains that when
justice falls to be meted out to the
wrongdoers, citizens step in and ad-
minister 1t in a crude but sometimes
satisfactory way.-Dispatch.
A more despicable expression of
sentiment than the above can hard
ly be imagined. In addition to being
in execrable taste, it lacks both con-
sistency and courage Like the
notorious district attorney of Modoc
county, it tries to straddle both
sides of clean-cut issue. 1t pro-
fesses to condemn mob law, and in
the same breath pats the lynchers
on the back for having performed a
satisfactory job. 1t conveys the idea
that society in California is only
half organized, and mob law is a
necessary evil occasionally to keep
the lawless element within bounds.
We emphatically dissent from this
Infamous declaration 1t is libel
upon the state, and we but voice the
overwhelming sen timent of Amador
county in repudiating such utter
ances. We have heard democratic
encouragemento of lawIessness before,
but never such vile backing of a
villainous crime as this. The Modoc
lynching -inexcusable from every
standpoint-takes preeminent rank
among the exploits of murderous
mobs in this state If the lynchers
emerge unscathed from the clutches
OF the law, as our cotemporary so
fiippantly predicts, all we can say
is, it will be setback to the prog
ress of Modoc county only second to
the lynching itself. While the state
of California and the county of Mo
doc are each pouring out treasure
without stint in legal struggle to
bring the band of lynchers to justice,
and thereby wipe out as far as pos
sible the blot of their foul deeds,
it is deplorable to find a journal so
forgetful or defiant of its duty of
loyalty to law and order as to CO.
verify applaud these miscreants who
judge not by law and try not by
jury, and gleefully anticipate mis-
carriage Of justice as administered
by the courts.
