DESTINED to prove one of the most
wonderful inventions of the age is the
way in which Thomas A. Edison speaks
of little electric machine invented by
Thomas w. McCue of Akron, Ohio. Mr..
McCue took it to Edison's home and the
great electrician gave it a thorough study
and test. The machine does away with
all pain in dentistry, and while no at
tempt has been made to apply it to sur
gerry Mr. McCue is confident of its ulti-
mate success there. He describes its OPP
Grafton as 'short-circuiting" the pain
and preventing it from reaching the
brain. 1t reduces the current to one
one-hundred thousandth of a volt, a re-
suit which electricians have claimed could
not be achieved.

GREAT ROCK WRECKS TRAIN.
Falling Boulder Kills Seven Men and
Iniures Score.

aIlInE Boulder Kills Seven Men ana
Injuries a Score.
Fifty-four railway employees sat on
slowly moving train and watched an
enormous rock weighing at least fifteen
tons roll down the steep side of a high
Cliff which the train was passing. A
moment later the great boulder fell with
terrific force upon the railway immedi-
ately ahead of the caboose as the train
was being backed toward its destination.
There was no time to reverse the engine
or apply the brakes. The caboose was
hurled against the immovable rock and
the collision killed seven workmen and
injured probably twenty others seriously.
The caboose, filed with men, was smash
ed to atoms. Immediately back of the
cabOose were three cars filled with sand,
on top of which sat other workmen.
These made a quick jump when it was
seen that wreck was unavoidable. But
the sand cars were showed into the ca
boose and against the boulder. They
were crushed to pieces and the sand was
dumped in big piles over the men. The
wreck occurred on the Choctaw, Okla
hOma and Gulf Railroad, twenty miles
west of Little Rock, Ark. Many of the
Workmen of the wrecked train were ne
groes.

Immigrants F1ocking to Former Sioux
Reservation West of the Missouri.

Reservation West of the Missouri.
Twenty years ago the tide of immigra-
ton swept over the eastern portion of
South Dakota and was only stopped III
it's western advance by the great Sioux
reservation, which held the entire western
bank of the Missouri river from the Ne
braska line far into what is now North
Dakota. For years the people of the
territory abored to remove this barrier,
which separated them from the rich
Black Hills mining region. BY the time
this was accomplished the current of inn
migration had changed and was speed
ing toward Oklahoma and the Cherokee
strip. The railroad builders who had long
waited to secure an entrance to the Black
Hills country, directly across South Da-
kota, tired of waiting and swept around
the obstructing reservation through Ne
braSka into the coveted country. AnOth-
er swirl of the current has now started
immigrants to the Northwest. The esti-
mates Of railroad immigration agents is
that 100000 persons will land in the two
Dakotas within the year 1902, and as
those coming now must either buy lands
at from So to $50 an acre east of the
without this expense will cross to the
grass lands that were once the home of
the Sioux. and secure them at the low
government price of 80 cents an acre or
