TAMPICO MAN RAISES
A SEVEN FOOTED PIG

\ pig with seven feet is the prodigy
&C. c. Nelson, a farmer living east of
Tampico, sold to a travelling agent
this week to exhibit at fairs. The pig
is one of the queerest freaks ever
raised in this part of the state. At
the knee joint of one front leg two
well formed legs branch out and three
at the knee joint of the other leg,
making five front feet. All of the feet
touch the ground when the pig walks.
The hind feet are natural as in other
pigs. The pig was purchased of Mr..
Nelson for neat sum, and wagon
was fitted up Tuesday by the agent
to exhibit the curiosity at fairs. 1t
has been suggested that new breed
of swine be established from this be-
ginning as, speciality for the manu-
facture of picked pigs feet.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE
NEW 800 SERIES OF ENGINES

Those monster new engines just re-
ceived by the Rock Island road and
now running OUT of this city are at
tracing much attention. They are
what is known as the Brooks Pacific.
They are built to pull heavy express
trains at high rate of speed.
The Rock Island road has ordered
80 of these engines and 10 of this
number have been consigned here.
They are being broken to the
service on freight runs and after sew
eral trial trips each engine is worked
into the passenger service. Two or
three are now on passenger runs.
The tender capacity is Is tons of
coal and 900 gallons of water, and
with that supply an 500 engine will
take a train of 10 coaches 100 miles
without having to- stop once for coal
or water. The engines are built to
maintain a schedule of 80 miles an
hour on express trains so heavy that
with ordinary engines a speed of from
80 to 35 miles is all that is maintained.
The engine and tender ready
for business will weigh 157
tons, the engine alone tipping the
beam at 100 tons. The length from
pilot to rear of tender is rs feet, three
feet longer than any other engine
ever used here. The engine cylinders
are 81 inches in diameter and have a
2s-inch stroke The three drive wheels
are 90 inches in diameter and a trailer
wheel is necessary, so wide is the fire
box

Y. N. C. A. ANNOUNCES
PLANS FOR LECTURE COURSE

/, Pamphlets bearing the prospectus
of the Y. NJ. c. \. lecture course for
the coming season were issued yester-
day afternoon. The attractions that
have been booked have heretofore
been alluded to in The Argus. They
are probably the best that have been
embraced in any Y. NJ. c. A. course
ever presented here and should be
well patronized. The terms are about
the same as in former years, with the
main departure being the presenta-
ton of season ticket free to mem
bers of the association. The season
tickets will be 81 and they may be had
at the y. NJ. c. \. Office now. Single
admissions to the Banda Rosa, with
which the series opens Oct. q, will be
IS cents, including reserved seat, and
to the others it Will be so cents. Sea-
son tickets admit to gallery only, I'M
less reserved. Reservation will be
$3.50, $1.20 and 90 cents, according to
the part of the house.
The reservation this year will be
conducted on new plan, as follows:
Beginning Thursday, Oct. l, at a. m,
and continuing Friday, numbers may
be drawn at the office. These mum
be will determine the order in
which seats may be selected Friday
October >, in the association chapel
at 1880 p. M, at which time the plat
will be open and the house reserved
for the entire season. Numbers are
not given out as heretofore in /, ,, >, 4
order, but are drawn from box, in
which. the order is disarranged. All
have an equal chance for No. 1.

IMPROVEMENT Is SHOWN
IN CONDITION OF CRUM

a slight Improvement was reported
this afternoon in the condition of
Walter Crum, the injured Rock Island
baseball player. He was removed in
the ambulance this morning from his
home on Second avenue TO st. An
thongs hospital. There is hope now
that it will not be necessary to per-
form an operation ON his head. The
local baseball association has shown
the right spirit by bearing the eN-
pense of medical and hospital service
and keeping the injured players
name on the pay rolk 1t is likely that
a benefit game will be played for him
at the conclusion of the schedule sea-
son.
