Three Painful Accidents.

Harry Price, a we'll known
driller of this city, had the mistor.
tune to get his right hand badly
injured yesterday about noon while
at work on a we'll IN the Big Knot
field. His hand was so badly
crushed that amputation of a finger
at the second joint was necessary.
The second unfortunate victim
was Harry Knapp, who resides
just north of the city, and who &C.
cidentally shot himself In the right
leg, inflcting a painful wound half
way between the knee and hip
joint, while handling a gun yester-
day morning.
The third unfortunate was G. W.
Story, lease boss for the Central Oh
company at Waverly, who sustained
a painful injury yesterday to his
right hand while performing his
duties on the lease.
DR.. c. E. Kahle rendered the
necessary medical aid to each of
the patients, who are getting along
as we'll as could be expected under
the circumstances.

SNOW THAT NEVER MELTS.
Consists of Paper Cut in Different Sizes and
Sells for SIS Barrel.

Snow, it may not be generally known,
is on the regular price lists of all dealers
in theatrical supplies. 1t is used, of
course, chiefly i'll the rural drama and
sells at the rate of SIS or SIG barrel.
Stage snow is made of tiny scraps of
white paper, cut in different sizes accord
ing to the kind of storm wanted.
The snow scene i'll Way Down East
is one of the most realistic ever produced.
Its effects are chiefly due to the use of
n patented apparatus. This apparatus
consists. first, of long triangular frame
work covered with wire netting of fine
mesh. This box is suspended by ropes at
each end and is filed with five or six bar
rels of paper snow The box is kept rock
ing by a stage hand who pulls at a rope
attached to its top and the paper snow
Filters down through the meshes of the
wire netting.
But the most important part of the
snowstorm machine consists of couple
of cast iron cylinders. which are perfOr-
ated with fine pin holes and which are
kept constantly revolving. These cylind-
ers are filled with fine salt and are mount
ed at four and eight feet above the stage
in an iron framework. Just beneath each
of the cylinders an enormous revolving
electric fan is fixed. These fans strike
both the salt and the paper snow as they
fall in front of them and send them in Il
whrling binding, cloud across the stage.
To add the last touch of realism. when
the blizzard is on, the wind machine, a
huge wheel scraping against a fixed cover
ing of silk, is rapidly revOlved, throwing
out Il screech which almost exactly simu-
lates that of a clustering wind.

PREPARING FOR THE RETURN VOYAGE.
The next few days were busy ones Of
preparation to return home. The officers
were busy checking up their property and
seeing how they stood as to responsibility
and turning over everything that would be
taken by the Department officers, and they,
as well as the men, spent much time buy
ing things to take home for presents and
getting their effects in shape for trans
port. Each man was permitted to take
using their barrack chest, but others buy
made by willy Chinese, who put camphor
wood shavings in an ordinary box to give
it the proper odor. Preference for this
wood for chests in the tropics grows chiefly
out of the fact that neither ants nor
moths will invade one because of the odor.
We were assigned to the Hancock, and
the sailing day was set, but before it ar
rived rumors began to float around that

thing was alleged to be wrong with her
Then another rumor got
started that we were to be sent out on
another campaign, and would not go home
for some time yet. This materialized into
an order to proceed with LawtOn on q

Statistics shpW that one person in ev-

hearts are as acommon as weak stomach,
lungs, kidneyss etc.
While person might have heart dis
ease for twenty years and not know it
the symptoms are plain if understood.
Since the heaFtI circulates the blood and
distributes norishment to every organ, it
is not strange that the symptoms frequent

organ other than the heart.

grows constantly worse. A slight extra
strain upon the heart will cause it to flut-
and tenderness IN the left side and in the
region of the heart: there will be short
ness of breath after slight exertion, such
as climbing stairs, walking, running
sweeping, singing, talking, etc. From this
condition it is but a step to smOthering
spells at night, the blood becomes thin,
the circulation poor, the eXtremities be-
come cold and often become swollen dur
ing the day time.
Neglected, weak heart soon becomes n

fatty degeneration, dilatation or enlarge
ment OF the heart. 1t means chronic
weakness about which hOvers the awful
shadow of sudden death.

above you should give DIR. Miles Heart

aid, such as DIR. Miles Heart Cure alone

CITY GOVERNMENT in OHIO.
A New Municipal Code Being Tried in th'



Ohio is trying a new municipal code. 1t
is an attempt to dOvetail together some
features from both the Federal and
Board" plans of City Government. The
result must prove how successfully the
system has been worked out. The diyid-
ing line in municipalities is fixed at pop
ulation of 5000. All places with that pop
ulation or more are classed as cities; while
all with population below it are classed
as villages. The cities will each elect a
Mayor. President of the Council. Treas
urer Solicitor, Auditor and Council. The
Council is to consist of ut least seven men,
bers. one to be elected from each of four
wards and three elected ut large. In
cities of 25,OOO population there are to be
two additional wards and two more mem-
bers of the Council. And for each addi-
tional 1900 of population one more menu
ber is to be added to the Council. This
will give Cleveland. the largest city in the
State. Il Council of 33 members.
The real governing power. however, will
i've and the other appOintive. The elective
board is known as the Board of Public
Service and is to consist Of three or five
members, as the City Council may decide.
This board creates such city offices as it
deems necessary and fills them. fixes salar-
les, makes contracts and spends the ap-
preparation made by the Council. The
appointive board is known as the Board
of Public Safety and il to consist of two
or four members, as the Council may
determine. 1t is appointed by the Mayor
with the consent Of two-thirds of the
Council, but unless appointed and con-
frmed within certain time the Governor
can name its members. 1t is to be bi-
partisan and is to have control of the Po-
lice and Fire Departments. There is to
