FORGOTTEN DOllca cies.

The disappearance Of certain birds
from the tables of gourmets and the
well-to-do is not easily explainable.
Wheatears, for example, were, and
still are, undoubtedly great delicacy,
well comparable, as they used to be,
to the ortolan Of the Continent. The
number of these birds to be seen
about the South Downs is still very
considerable. In old days 1t was the
custom for any one DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning a dozen or so of these birds
to visit the shepherds traps, take out
the imprisoned wheatear, and leave q
penny in its place Life.

FLANNEL

The rule Of the celebrated Enghah
physician John Hunter, for the real
ing of healthy children was very
simple. He said, "Give them plenty
of milk, plenty of sleep and plenty
of flannel" Flannel, especially at
this season Of the year, is q good
thing for everybody. It should be
are flannel, made of fine wool, not
cotton flannel, for cotton flannel ie
a misnomer; and it should be worn
next the skin, for when thus worn
it not only acts as a no-nconducto +
of heat, tending to preserve the
natural warmth: of the body but
also gently stimulates the skin,
assisting the latter in it's function
of throwing off superfuities. A
title flannel worn next the body is
of more avail in maintaining health
than large quantity Of outer mufd-
ings. For persons afflicted with
rheumatism or debility flannel is an
absolute necessity. For all it is in
winter comfort and a preventive
of colds, pneumonia and the long
train Of other ills which sometimes
follows the chilling Of the bo'ly.
Wooden stockings are the only kind
which are fit for winter wear, and
it is better that they should be
knitted than woven. A wooden band
worn about the middle is better
than medicine for persons predisosed
to weakness of the bowels. This
winter when, coal is scarce and dear
it is peculiarly unwise to neglect
the means of keeping warm which
are within the breach of all who
can procure proper clothing

MAY. PROVE FATAL.
william MCGOWAN has > Narrow Es-
cape While ut Work at the New
Omaha Railroad Sl,ops-SkulI Is
Fractured Outcome Doubtful.

Dropping eighteen feet with q
thousand pound timber structure
falling from above him, William
McGowan, q carpenter foreman for
the Omaha road, shortly before noon
yesterday INTERNATIONALLY escaped
with his life, but suffered . fracture
of the skull. II the inner plate of
the skull is unframed MCGOWAN
may live but otherwise the doctors
fear hemorrhage.
MCGOWAN with the carpenter
gang had been atwork pulling down
the old coal chute near the new
Omaha shop. The carpenters were
pulling up part Of the structure, and
the rope, slipping, dispossessed an
other part Of the structure upon
which MCGOWAN was sitting. It
gave way, and MCGOWAN seeing it
was about to fall, jumped, He shot
down through the mir, but was not
quite quick enough for the big timber
structure which followed him.
BY strange good fortune there was
q small ditch at the spot where Nc
Gowan fell. He landed in this on
his head, striking a Jagged rock.
He was rendered insensible, but his
body fell into the ditch, just as the
heavy timber fell above him. r.
BY the use of crowbars his COM
panions secured his release, and i'm
mediately summoned tho police.
MCGOWAN was brought to the
station in the patrol wagon, where
Drs. A. J. Mclaughlin and W. W.
Dean dressed his wounds.
The doctors found a large jagged
cut which penetrated to the skull,
which was slightly fractured. The
wound was dressed and several
stitches taken in the scalp.
MCGOWAN lives ut Worthington,
MIMI, and has. been living at S1S
Wall Street. He has been in Sioux
City for about eight months.-Sioux
City Journal, Saturday.
Late reports state that Mr.. Nc
Gowan is alive and doing as well
as could be expected.

SOME CASES OF LAZINESS
DISEASE.

A patent afflicted with q rare and
| peculiar disease is now being treat
ed at the John Hopkins hospital in
Baltimore. The ailment is known
as ankylostoma, or ''lazy disease
the most striking symptoms of which
is in increasing Discrimination for
physical exertion of any kind and
the most extreme lassitude.
The patient who came from the
south stated that his brother had
died from a similar disease. The
only other case recorded here was
that of an English sailor who died
at the almhouse. A post norton
examination by physicians at John
Hopkins hospital revealed many
thousands of in6nitesmal parasites,
known as uncinaria duodenalls
boring into the mucous membrane
of the intestines, and causing loss
of blood with reustant lassitude and
inertia, and finally producing death.
These parasites are especially a
bundant in certain sections of the
Carolins and Georgia, and the disease
is prevalent among the 'clay EATERS
of that region. The ova of the
parasites are found in the peculiar
kind of clay which these people
consume the ova, may be taken into
the system by eating unwashed
vegetables.
This case has been brought to the
attention Of DR.. B. Murphy the. we'll
known physician of Chicago, and
in commenting upon itsays:
'The tramp is a lazy because he
likes it, and not from any physical
ailment. The case referred to in
dispatches concerning man in
building houses which would be
sold to railway men at cost if the
saloons should be driven out.
While the fight was begun by the
women it became essentially a |
contest between the saloon and
the railway interests. Yesterday
the question was voted on and the
dry" element won a substantial
victory. Collinwood will be the
poorer (2) by the loss Of twenty
grogshops, and the richer by the
gain of 81, 900, 900. |
The significant feature of this
battle against the saloon is the in |
terest taken in it by the railway
It has been long known
that railways favor men who do not
use liquor as beverage. The
campaign has demon
strated that the men themselves
advocate temperate habits and see
it to their advantage to keep them
selves and the saloon as far apart as |
they can.--Chicago Evening Post.

It seems likely that the long looked

a letter from congressman J. T.

route ought to have been examined
last fall, but, somehow was overlook
ed when the special agent was in
this part of the district. Mr.. Nc
Cleary then goes on to say: II am
promised by the posto6ice depart
ment that in q week or two the
special agent will be returned to my
district. I have this day written
him advising him of my wish that
Rushmore should be the first
petition examined by him when he
returns to tho district. have no
doubt that he will find the route q
good one. The territory to be cover
ed is settled by very Intelligent
people who will make good use of
the service. You may expect him
within short time. If he approves
it, I shall have it established at the
earliest moment possible thereafter,
which will be early in the spring."
So it seems that we shall get the
free delivery after all, not quite so
soon, perhaps, as ''ear!y in the
spring" but still sometime in the
near future. Mr.. Nice leary is repre-
sentative that we may we'll feel

and while taking prominent part

In the opinion of j. W. Williams,

"Buck" Williams, the st. Paul rail
road, il it extends its line across the
reservation to the Black Hills, will
cross the river at Evarts. Mr.. Will
Jams is, accordingly, opposed to cap

er his home town than Mitchell.
"There' s no likelihood of the St.
Pau! crossing at Chamberlain" he
declared. "This tall aoout rock be-
ing hauled across on the island for
purposes Of constructing a big
bridge there is merely a blind-a
capital removal scheme. 1t stands
to reason the St. Paul can do better
If it bisects the cattle country by
crossing at Evarts. If it extends
west from Chamberlain along the
divide and goes through the gap in
the Bad Lands out to the Cheyenne
