Milwaukee Road UnIoads Material
for Its SiunaI Town.

The Milwaukee road is now operat-
ing trains from Pennington to Ions
dale, eighteen miles toward LIE Sueur
Center and more than half way to
that place. Freight is being received
for Lonsdale and Elko. The next
town to be connected up will be Mont
gomery, and then LIE Sueur Center.
The work of laying the rails and bal
lasting is being pushed ahead.
Three carloads of crushed stone and
cement were unloaded in this city
today for use in the foundation of the
signal tower which the Milwaukee
road will erect at the crossing of the
tracks of the other roads just back OF
the Chicago g. Northwestern freight
depot. This will be the first tower of
its kind in the city. The operator
will move all the switches from his
station in the tower, and he will have
a good deal of responsibility.

FELL SIXTY FEET
AND ESCAPED WITHOUT EVEN A
BROKEN BONE.

John Rogers Tumb1es from the Roof of a
Three-story Building to the Pavement.
A Ladder Breaks His Fall.
While working on the roof Of three
story building on Detroit street, John
Rogers, of No. 1855 Alabama street,
Cleveland, o., lost his balance and fell
sixty feet to the ground.
He was drawing up gravel and while
leaning over pulling on the guy rope, it
broke and he fell. About SO feet from
the sidewalk he struck a ladder which
stood against the building. This bro
the force of his fall. But he fell upo
the pavement head foremost and his fell
low workmen picked him up uncon-
scious.
The ambulance was summoned and b
was taken to St. Johns hospital where
it was fully ten hours before he regained
consciousness. No bones were broken
nor did he sustain any internal injuries
as was first feared. To reporter he
said:
" / grew very nervous as a result of
my fall, and was fast running into ner-
vous prostration. I was under doc
tors care, but did not get any real BEN
eft and I was becoming very much dis
couraged.
"Then began taking DIR. Williams

decided improyementin short time and
by the time had taken eight boxes was
fully restored to health. That was over a
year ago and now am perfectly well
and strong again with nerves as sound
as anybody's. DR.. Williams Pink Pills

medicines failed"
The nervous system may be deranged
from any of a number of causes. A
physical shock, as was the case with Mr..
Rogers, or mental shock may bring it
on. More common causes are worry,
over-work, excitement, lack of rest and
dissipation. Whatever the exciting
cause the results are largely the same
and the remedy that cured the one will
cure the other.

the American public when they over
charge at home while meeting compe-
tition abroad. The policy is not only
illiberal, but it suggests that undue ad-
vantage is taken of the generous pro-
visions Of the tariff. AS an illustration
the Chicago Tribune says:
"a few weeks ago British member
of Parliament said that Mr.. Schwab,
President Of the Steel corpora tion, had
told him that it. could deliver steel bill
let's in England for $l6.50 per ton, while
the lowest price for which British man.
ufacturers could make them was $40.
At the time Mr.. Schwab made this
statement his company was underselling
the British manufacturers at home, and
was demanding from $26. to $27. a ton
from the American consumer. 1t is
unfortunate that the Commission could
not induce Mr.. Schwab to explain why
his corporation puts such high price
on steel billets at Pittsburg when it
sells them for so low price in England.
If it can afford to sell billets there at
$l6.50 ton, why does it ask $40 ton
more for them on this side of the ocean?
An explanation is needed. ."-Philadel-

THE GUESSING CONTEST.

THE GUESSING CONTEST.
The Press Publishing Co. of Detroit,
sends us the following statement rel
ative to the recent election contest:
Detroit, Mich, December, 1901.
Owing to the numerous letters we
are daily receiving from all sections
of the United States and Cananda
concerning our recent Canadian Cen
sus Contest and our Election Contest,
embracing the votes for governor in
the states Of Iowa, Ohio and Massa-
chusetts, we have deemed it wise to
prepare general statement as it is
impossible to answer each of these
numerous letters personally
Relative to our Election Contest, we
have obtained the certificate of the
secretary of the state of Ohio giving
the official vote for governor as S27, 566.
We have received an unofficial state
ment from the secretary of the state
of Iowa giving the vote for governor
as 800, AL. The unofficial statement of
the secretary of the state of Massa-
chusetts gives the vote of that state
as 324, 526, making total of l 1,542, 533.
This number, however, may be re-
vised by the official certificate of the
vote of Iowa and Massachusetts.
| At the close of the Contests, all es
Inmates were turned over to the COM
mittee on awards, consisting of the
Hon. VIM. @. Maybury, mayor of De-
of the Wayne circuit court, and the
Rev. Chas. l.. Arnold, rector of St.
Peter's church, Detroit, Mich. This
committee appointed Mr.. Henry Otis,
accountant of the Detroit National
Bank. to take charge Of all data and
tabulate the returns.
AS soon as the official certificates
can be obtained showing the total vote
of the states named, Mr.. Otis, under
the directions of the committee on
awards, will ascertain who are en-
titled to receive the prizes and the
committee will make the awards ac-
cordingly
We have not yet been able to obtain
the official figures showing the Dopu
lation of Canada. The same committee
have that matter in charge and as soon
as the result can be obtained the
prizes in that contest will be awarded.
On account of not receiving the official
report of the population Of Canada we
have been unable to issue our cata-
logue
We will furnish full particulars, as
to who receives the prizes, to all par
ticipants in our Election and Canadian
contests as soon as the awards are
made.
We enclose herewith details of our
next contest and shall be pleased to
have you consider the same.

Not the least striking lesson in evo
luton has been given by modern poul-
try shows. A half-century ago Darwin
enumerated 13 varieties of fowls as
known to him, giving pictures typical
of the various races; but Mr.. w. B.
Tegetmeier, who selected the specimens
thus illustrated, states that not one of
the figures would be accepted by the
present fanciers as furnishing any idea
of the development of salient points.
Some breeds, in fact, have been i'm
proved almost out Of existence. The
Spanish fowl has had it's comb increased
to four times it's former size, the white
skin on the face has so developed as to
blind the old bird, and the ear lobe has
increased to eight inches in length and
an area of some thirty square inches,
but the creature has become practically
useless as layer of eggs. The old
English Dorking has been least changed,
having simply increased in size. The
offer of large prizes has not only led to
the production of innumerable new
breeds, by selection and crossing, but
has caused fancy points to be SO
exaggerated that the resulting mon
strosities have no value except in show.
ing how far living organism may be
artificially varied. At the latest Lon
don show, the different varieties OF
fowls were represented in 2S1 classes.

One acre of the sago palm, which is

The earliest known hot-water heating
is curiously traced to Greenland, where
the strangely forgotten colony Of Nor
wegians had increased to 100 villages in
the fourteenth century. A German
author was told in 1915 of the heating
and cooking by water in pipes from a
hot spring, the ruins of the colony were
located in 1923, and the hot spring was
some years ago seen by an American
artist.

One of the most human-like apes yet

Ernst Haeckel has kept in view several

called by the natives "Oa," on account
of it's characteristic sound, and is
scarcely taller than child of six years.

slender, the legs short, and the arms
much longer. The face is more man

Europeans, the animal became intimate
with the brown Malays, especially with
the children. He always walked or ran
OH two legs, the few sounds of his
speech were greatly varied, he drank
milk and cocoa and sweet wine from a
cup. and he peeled and ate oranges and
bananas just as the observer himself
would. Most Malays look upon the
gibbons as bewitched men and the
orang-outangs as criminals undergoing

In the novel steam-generator of Mr..
Henry Brady, an Australian inventor,
the water tubes to the number needed
are bored lengthwise through fiat
copper blocks three inches or more
thick, the ends of the holes being con-
nected by semi-circular bends so as to
form continuous tube from one side of
the block to the other. The blocks are
so arranged that the hot gases from the
furnace pass around the lower one be-
meath second, and around this beneath
similar series of tubes in the cast iron
top of the boiler. The water is fed into
the iron tube, where it becomes heated,
then it passes successfully through the
top and bottom series of copper tubes,
and enters receiver as steam under a
pressure of 100 pounds or more. 1t is
claimed that, for the same power, this
generator occupies only tenth of the
space of multi tubular boiler and is
only fourth as heavy, while it cannot
be exploded, is self cleaning, and it can
be heated to 100 horsepower capacity

The air of heated rooms is changed
quite rapidly through the walls in cold
weather More than twenty years ago,
Flugge estimated that this Spontaneous
ventilation" would completely renew
the air of small rooms every hour when
the difference between inside and out
side temperature is $50 F.; but some
what slower rate has been obtained since
by H. Wolpert in measuring the hourly
diminution of an excess of carbonic
acid in an unoccupied room. In room
of 1000 cubic feet, with painted walls,
the passage of air per hour for each de-
gree Of temperature difference was
somewhat less than one -hundredeth of
the total air of the room. But the rate
was considerably greater with masonry
walls covered with paper, and three
times as rapid with ordinary white
washed walls.

Hard Struggles of a Noted Juri.t.

Judge Willis, lecturing recently on
''My Personal Reminis cences," told a
large audience that instead of being
reared in the lap of luxury, and sent
to Oxford or Cambridge, as some peo-
pie imagined, he had passed six years
in business before he was 81 years
of age, doing every kind of work
that came within his daily calling. In
a basement he had entered $4,000
worth of bonnets, hats and ribbons
in one day, and for nights in success
sion heard the bells of ST. @Paul's
strike IL as he turned out to walk
three miles to his house. On leaving
school at Is he studied Latin and
Greek and afterward matriculated in
London university in the first di-
vision. A year later, in 1858. he
passed into the inner temple and be-
gan the study of law. With the ex-
ception of e 100 a year he received
for his maintenance and for books, his
education for the law cost about 10.
as they could attend all the
| best lectures at the inner temple
for SIS per annum. He secured
his 3. A degree in 1889. and in
the. nextyear, having read law day and
night without anyone. to help him, he
came out in the examination first
