That Will Prove the Cause Of
Supsrlntsndsnt's Death. =
The true cause of supt. Eagan's
death is q matter which fs now inter
esting many OF our people, especially
those of his acquaintanoes who had
learned to know him while in the en-
ploy of the Great Northern. Al the
case has attracted considerable st.
tention here, the following from the
Minneapolis Tribune of Nov. 18 10
published for the benefit of our read
ers:
The mysterious disappearance of
supt. Eagan OF the Kalispell division
of the Great Northern last winter. and
his subsequent discovery at the bottom
of rayine, where It was presumed hs
had succumbed to the cold, has again
been revived and If reports and dis.
closures made by men who should
know 60 for anything, sensational
results may be expected.
1t was known at the time OF Eagan's
disappearance that he had many enc.
mics who had openly avowed to "get
even." It Is also known that since
that time the men who had it In for
him haven't had anything at al to
say in regard to his sudden disappear
ance and death.
Eagan when he assumed control of
the Kalispell division made radical
changes-discharged incompetent men,
tabooed whiskey and intoxicants,
which before that time had been used
freely by employees. In short he In,
augurated q general house cleaning
and made enemies of many Of the men
who were accustomed to lax methods,
and booze.
Dispatcher Edwards, who worked
under Eagaa and who of late has held
down key on the Dakota division,
was quite familiar with Eagan's habits
and it was through his investigation
and search that disclosures were made.
Edwards says that several men we'll
known at Kalispell made threats upon
Eagan shortly before his departure on
his hunting trip, and he is sure foul
play resulted. The storm in which
Eagan was caught was not severe and
Eagan knew every foot of the territory
over which he was going. He had .
pocket compass and was skilled in its
use. -.,s4=s=ssesssssssegssast esssssss esast99

had been buried beneath the snow,
further confirms Edwards story tha,
Eagan was murdered. When found
Eagan's remains were so far decaysd
and lacerated by wolves as to be un-
recognizable, thus leaving no clue a.
to what injuries had resulted in death.
Edwards says that he never should
have said anything about the affair II
he had not been told to ''shut his
mouth" by the rine-leader of q gang
in log cabin saloon at Kalispell.

uttIiztng the cat.

Making her cat act as her plumber
was the ingenious feat that woman
Of Manayunk accomplished the other
day. This woman had noticed that one
Of the pipes connected with the wash
stand in her bathroom leaked, and she
wished to locate the leak precisely
without tearing out any more of the
wall than was needful
Accordingly she shut her cat up in
her parlor- the parlor is directly below
the bathroom into the basin of
the defective washstand she poured a
vial Of the OIL of valerian. Cats are ex-
cessively fond Of the odor Of valerian.
A cat would rather inhale this odOr
than eat fish. The Manayunk woman's
cat after 1t had been in the parlor a
few minutes began to pur. Purring, 1t
crossed the room. It settled itself on
the floor with its face to one spot on
the wall, and here its mistress found 1t
when she came downstairs, its nose
glued to the spot, shifting and purring
ecstatically.
The wall was opened at this point,
and here, sure enough, the leak was
found. Here the valerian had trickled
through, imparting its intoxicating
Odor to the cate--Philadelphia Record.

ouraosities About Dentistry.

Those who imagine that the care d
the teeth and the replacement of the
natural grinders with false ones is
Hsomething new under the sun" may
be surprised to learn that artificial
teeth were made of ivory, placed on
plates Of the same material and held
together and in place by gold wires and
vivets 500 to 1000 years before Christ
Herodotus, 'the father Of history" tells
as that the Egyptians of the fifth dy-
nasty understood the diseases OF the
keeth and their treatment. There are
several passages in history to lead one
to the belief that both Caesar and An
tony wore artificial teeth.
The date of the introduction OF false
teeth into Europe is uncertain. They
were known In England as early at
least as the~time Of the discovery Of
America. 1.-THE Mathematical Jewel

Here is the tragic story of the sand
fly:

In order to earn the right to that day
Of life it lives from one to three years
In darkness, down in the mud at the
bottom Of lakes or rivers. Moreover,
the sand fly is perfectly harmless. 1t
does not bite. 1t has no sting. 1t can
not even eat All 1t can do is to fit
about for a few hours, enjoying the
light of day or the glare of an electric
lamp.
The sand fly Is known to scientists
Familiarity as the May fy.' In scientific
terms 1t is called epheInerida. This
name is taken from the Greek word
ephemeros, which means lasting only
for day To the scientists the sand
fly is one of the most Interesting and
beautiful Of insects.
The fly lives but q days.at most, but
before 1t sees the light 1t has lived for
from one to three years under the wa

call nymph. This uymph can both
walk and swim. Ae.it grows 1t nolts.
and after about the ninth mott tiny
wings appear on IT'S thnrax- These

Counterfeit Art.

The archRologist who was chosen
some time ago to determine the anthem
ITCHY Of the tiara of Soitapharnes a
supposedly precious relic of tha Louvre
collection, reported that the tiara was
not authentic and that It was executed
by Russian artist of the name Of
Roukhomorslxy The French govern
ment paid $4,000 for the tiara and
would probably be willing at present to
sell 1t at large discount.
While nobody over here is likely to
wish the French government any spe-
cial harm, 1t must be more or less graf
flying to some OF the Americans who
have paid big prices for spurious works
of art to be able to smile at the expense
Of people who are supposed to know all
about art and relics and such things.
1t is claimed by experts that not more
than about one in ten of the Raphaels
scattered through Europe Is genuine.
and If 1t is so with the Raphaels the
probabilities are that very large per-
centage of the so called examples Of the
other masters are counterfeit. Chicago

part of Venezuela The party met
with terrible hardships and privatton,
and only about half of them got back
to civilization. They were In continual
danger from snakes, and the native
remedies, the only ones at hand, were
severe ones. One day Mateo Ramirez,
one OF the men walking through the

by snake Andre suspected that the
bite was not poisonous, but Mateo was
In mortal terror and allowed his friends
to subject him to a remedy worse than
the disease. Throwing him to the
ground. they wound strong creeper
around his thigh until it cut into the
flesh and then burned the wound with

In agony. Chewed tobacco and crushed
garlic were afterward rubbed In and

don't suppose that mileposts are of any
particular benefit. The traveller can tell
BY looking out of the car w4ndow how
far he Is from the terminal points, but
In that he is not greatly interested.
z .sSome people like to figure out from
The mileposts how far they have trav-
eled or how far they have to go, and
there are not a sew who like to time
the speed Of trains by the mileposts.
But thatis not what the posts are for.
In the office Of the division superin-

the location of every one of these posts.
"Tf an accident occurs, rail breaks,
a car let's down or anything out Of the
ordinary happens between stations the
superintendent is notified of the prox-
unity of the mishap to some particular
milepost, and thus the spot can be To-
Gated, and men are sent there at once,
and they can go In a hurry, for they
know where the place Is. Otherwise
they would have to move slowly be-
tween stations until the spot was found,
and this means a loss of time much
more valuable than the price of the
mileposts and 1t would be pretty hard
