The WooIsack.

Back during the time OF Queen Eliza
beth an act Of parliament was passed
prohibiting the expectation OF wool.
This product was one OF the great
sources Of the natural wealth OF Eng
land at that time, and In accordance
with the economic notions Of the age
the authorities attempted 10 keep II in
the country, imagining that II 1t went
abroad, even though something more
valuable or desirable were exchanged
for Il, the country would be the poorer
In order 10 hold the Importance OF
this commodity before the minds OF the
national legislators woolsacks were
placed In the house OF lords, where the
judges sat Hence the lord chancellor
who presldes over the house OF lords
'sits on the woolsack." The wOOlsack,
according 70 a printed description. is a
large square bag OF wool without
bach or arms aud covered with red
cloth"

How Treasurer Boon
Counted the Money

correct Judge Boise remarked, In re
lating the story. that the defalcations
by which the state has lost money
we're not due to poor bookkeeping but
to the error OF officials in putting the
money in the wrong sack.
Boon had an eye to business, and
though he was an elder in the church'
he became negligent in his attendance
upon meeting. When a new minister
demonstrated with him he replied tha'
he was too busy TO 90 to church, and
then remarked that travelling such
long distance and settling in a ne"
country must have cost the minister
considerable money. He asked th'
pastor to accept contribution OF
$50 gold piece, and no further remon
stratIons were heard.

GREAT
CENTRAL
RAILROAD
Work Ordered on Railroad
Which Will Pass Through
Eugene

The great CeuJidi tam O"N
held a meeting in Portland, and gave
orders for the construction OF $lO,-
OOO wharf at Coos Bay and mile OF
railroad leading inland from the
wharf. says the Oregonian. This is re-
garded as preliminary to the main
construction work that Is expected
to be ready by the time the work al
ready authorized shall be completed.
II Is understood that the Empire Con-
struction Company will take the con-
struction contract from the Great Cen
tral Railroad Company. Much ma
chinery and outftting has already
gone forward for the preliminary con
gtruction at Coos Bay and It is said
that there will be no delay in getting
under way the work that has been
authorized.
A significant thing is the purchase
by the Great Central Company of the
maps and profile of the Umpqua Riv-
er Railroad Company, a local concern
that was organized to build a road be-
tween Drain and Scottsburg. Scots
burg Is at the head OF navigation on
the Umpqua. and Is 20 miles in a
straight line due west OF Drain. TO
traverse that route between Salt Lake
City and Coos Bay would be going
out of the way about 40 miles farther
than to 20 by way Of Roseburg, neces-
stating the building Of some 80 miles
of additional railroad But, inasmuch
as IL Is the declared purpose of the
company to build into Portland, as well
as to Coos Bay, and inasmuch as the
Portland traffic would inevitably be
larger than the Coos Bay traffic, 1t is
deemed entirely probable that the
company would not regard the extra
distance TO Coos Bay by way of Drain
when IL is considered that the route
10 Portland would be shortened by
lust that much Another important
consideration is the fact that the
Booth.Kelly Company has large tract
Of timber on the Drain line, and 1t Is
said that II would be willing to con
tract for the transportation OF five or
six carloads Of lumber to go East
daily. It is also represented that 9th
er timber owners in that region are
. willing to make considerable con
tracts for traffic with the new rail
road This. of course, is on the as
sumption that the line will give an
: outlet into Salt Lake.
The presence OF II. A. Booth, the
manager of the Booth.Kelly Company.
in the city for a few days past gives
strength TO the report that his COM
pany is negotiating for accommoda-
, tions on the projected railroad, and
) the purchase of the maps and profile
! OF the Drain Company is regarded as
I another strong indication that the
- Drain route will be chosen. That
I would take the lines across the head
waters of the Willamette and through
a country that will yield for many
l. years a heavy lumber traffic for tn,

BRoTHERS-IN-ARMs.
By Frank Marsland, Nelliston, N. Y.

Brothers in arms we have been for long
Since our country called us to right her
wrong;
Since we answered her call, and were sent
afar
In the gay, proud ranks to the task of
war;
Brothers In arms, sent to meet the foe
And break his power and bring him low.
Brothers In arms. to the same flag true,
On the battlefield where the shot-storm
few;
Side by side in the awful strife,
While Death moved wide In the ranks of
life;
Side by side In the surging fray,
In the victory hour-in the evil-day.
Brothers We In the bIvouac dread,
Where the living slept among the dead;
And the foe lay near and the long, long
night
Was filled with dreams of the morrow's
fight
Was filled with pealing loud alarms.
That fiercely wakened us to arms.
Brothers tried through all those years,
Their labors, perils, griefs and fears:
! Cheering, helping in many a way,
When sorrows weight on a comrade Law.
Brothers yet when the strife was DER.
And We scattered to our homes once more.
What knows the world of brotherhood-
Its strongest bonds. Its warmest blood?
All. there's tie that can be known
By soldier veterans alone;
Cemented In a common lot
'Mong scenes of danger ne'er forgot.

Seven years ago the State OF Illinois granted
to the Physicians Institute Of Chicago a charter.
There was need Of something above the ordl-
nary method Of treatment for chronic diseases,
something more than any one specialist or any
number OF specialists acting independently
could do, SO the State itself, under the powers
granted 1t by Its general laws, gave the power to
the Physicians Institute to furnish to the sick
such help as would make them well and strong.
Ever since Its establishment this Institute has
endeav0red In every possible way to carry out
the original purposes Of its establishment under
the benefcient laws Of the State.
Three years ago. the Physicians Institute,
realizing the value of electricity In the treatment
OF certain phases of disease. created under the
Superintendent of its staff of specialists an
electric belt. and this belt has been proved to b
OF great value as curative agent. From time
to time 1t has been improved until It reached
that stage of perfection which warranted it,
