Finds Germ to Stay Rats.

The rats at the city hospital of Gin
cinnati are now under plague which
promises to rid the institution of their
presence. Recently one of the doc
tors employed in the new laboratory
discovered that disease which as
sumed epidemic tendencies had broken
out among collection of rats which
were being held for experimental pur-
poses. Further Investigations were
made to determine the cause of the
trouble and from the liver and spleen
of the affected animals a bacillus was
detached which proved on incubation
extremely fatalsto both rats and mice.
Nearly every rat in the establishment
seems to have caught the disease, and
they are dying off in large numbers.
Those~affected have peculiar sniffle or
cough, which may be heard from their
haunts before the disease has pro-
crossed sufficiently to make them take
to the open in search of fresh air and
water

Canaries in a Church Choir.

The "Children's day" services at
Trinity Methodist church, at Atlanta,
Ca, the other morning were rendered
absolutely unique by the presence of
hundreds of singing canaries in cages
suspended from the walls and fixtures
OF the edifice. Several days ago the
church wardens determined to differ
entiate this occasion from others, and
secured the necessary number of song
sters. The cages were swung in con-
venient places and at the morning
services the canaries started a perfect
Niagara of melody, which continued
throughout the service and made it
almost impossible to distinguish the
words OF the preachers. When the
congregational singing began the
canaries were tremendously excited,
and the accompanying of their shrill
chirruping made the occasion. one
never to be forgotten. HI = e., ~.

CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN RAIL
ROAD UNDERTAKES IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENT WORK
MANY INDUSTRIES LOCATED
Increased Earnings shown From
Year to Year Due to Efforts
1t Has Been Max
ing

The Chicago Great Western might nave
been one of the syndicate roads had the
syndicate leaders embraced their oppor-
tunity. 1t was offered them about the
beginning Of the present year at a price
which its present holders regarded as
very reasonable, in view Of the presenta-
ton of its condition they were able to
make. The offer was declined.
President A. b. Stickney, of the Chi
cago Great Western, regarded the declin-
alton as final. He appealed to his sup
pOrters and at once obtained a sum of
money large enough to enable him to
undertake some important extensions,
and to buy several branch lines, with the
object of making the road one of the
most important systems in the West.
When its eXtens ons to Omaha and Sioux
City, which have been decided upons
are completed, there will not be an i'm
portant center in the " est or Northwe st,

Last years record shows that over 100
Industries were located on the Chicago
Great Western such as machine shops,
mills, elevators, malt houses flax tow
mills, warehouses, oil m. lis, creameries,
canning factories, stove works, etc Not
even the smallest lines of business have
been overlooked by the Chicago Great
western industrial department. Shoe
makers, harness makers, blacksmith
shops wagon works, and even dentists
and doctors and small stOrekeepers, nave
been brought from large cities and To-
Gated in the smaller towns. This has
been going on for the last seven years,
and today the Chicago Great Western is
an entirely different property than it was
seven years ago.
1t is due to this development work and
not to persistent rate-cutting that the
increased earnings of the road from
year to year are due. Every new town
located on its line means so much more
business and although the amount re-
celVed from each may be comparatively
small, the aggregate foots up surprising
y large at the end of the year. Pres
dent Stickney has inaugurated a policy
Of running the road independently. and
the outcome Of his experiment is being
watched with interest.

First Preferred stock Yields L 1-2
Per Cent

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE directors of
clared a dividend of 11a per cent on its
first preferred stock, the first for that
stock.
The evening Post says:
The election of E. B. Thomas, of the
Erie railroad, as chairman of the board
OF directors of the Lehigh Valley rail-
way was formally carried out at a meet
ing of the directors in Philadelphia to-
day. Mr.. Thomas has been chairman of
the executive committee, so that the cleo
ton today is not taken to mean as much
as it has been taken to imply in many
quarters. While the belief is general that
control of the Lehigh Valley railroad VIII
ultimately fall to the Erie railroad, we'll
posted authorities assert that there Will
be no change in the present arrangement
by which the Lehigh Valley railroad is
operated virtually in trust for all the
other anthracite coal-carrying roads.
