Even the late fire failed to put it out of

it out of our present inconvenlent quar-

prices we have placed on the remainder
of this stock are such as should appeal to
all prudent buyers.
Fires are infrequent, fortunately, but
such opportunities for buying first class

Missed a TrainTThat Was a Day Late.
indianapolis News)

The sale of the Indiana and Illinois
Railroad to the Illinois Central last week
recalls an amusing story. When the
Swift City Division Of the Illinois Central
was built it was known as the Indiana and
Illinois Southern. 1t was a narrow gauge
road, the rOadbed was bad. the engines
and ears were built on the miniature scale,
and while there was schedule, had a
train been on time the fact would have
been. regarded as miracle The road
was known as the Weakly"
About 20 years ago Josiah Mcconnell
desired to go to Swift City from Sullivan,
but missed the train by minute or two.
The clock at the station showed that the
train had left Sullivan five minutes ahead
of time, and Mcconnell sued the railroad
company for 5000 damages. On a trial
of the case, it was proved beyond a doubt
that the train Mcconnell missed should
have gone the day before. and was really
- hours and So minutes late.

Answers to Questions.

The term of this contest being short,
there will be little time for correspond
ence; therefore we will try to frame such
questions as we think will be asked, and
print the answers, as follows:
III send $40, or $40, ho1 many gucsscs
could / get and hO1 many coupons? For
$40 you would get 12S guesses, and 10
256 guesses and 20 coupons, and so on.
After making the first So deal, can
make as many such deals as 1 please, being
aIl0mcd Ga gucsses for each deal? Yes.
For the credit hare mith you and some
coupons / haze on hand can l hare gucsses
in this ne,u contest? No. 1t would be an
easy way for The National Tribune to
settle; but if we did this the present con-
test would not be the absolutely fair con-
test that we all like so much. We must
treat all alike. Cash deals are the only
kind of deals that secure guesses.
Do the Cents of the Treasury Receipts
hare to be guessede Cents will be counted
in this contest, but guesses sent in with
out cents will be accepted.
Can hare books for a deal in this con-
test? No. Our book stock is low, and
very soon we would disappoint many
friends by being unable to fill orders-a
good reason to leave out books in this con-
test. The feature of this contest is that
so many guesses are allowed for 50 deals
that the guesses alone are worth the
money. Giving coupons that are good for
subscriptions and advertising simply pro-
vides a way for those who will sell them
of getting their money back-whether
they win prize or not.
Can I ioin rithout haring mn name and
address printed in the paper? Yes; but we
much prefer printing the winners list in
full.

selium, an Alleged New Metal.

German papers report the discovery by
Mr.. Edward Mollard, a Frenchman. of a
new metal called '.selium." According to
the English Mechanic, the discoverer
claims that selium costs but one-twelfth
as much as aluminium, and is lighter and
stronger. 1t does not rust. and is there
fore suitable for use in shipbuilding, for
the manufacture of pipes, and for railroad
construction. On account of its cheapness
and as it is capable of a fine polish, re-
sembling nickel-it would be desirable for
manufacturing cooking utensils. Its dem
sity is DC and its hardness not quite that
of iron, but greater than lead or zinc. Its
power of resistance is said to be greater
than that of iron, but less than that OF
steel. The melting point is at ] 600 de-
grees centigrade. In melting. it contracts
somewhat, but molding in forms is not
impossible.

The National Tribune's 10Th Contest
Closes Next Week.

This will be short contest, and will
not be doomed to any great extent. The
season is unfavorable too-a great many
will stay out on account of hot weather.
But let us remind sagacious contestants
of this: The fewer the contestants, the
better the chances of winning.
In many respects this is the most ia
vorable contest we have offered. and we
hope the reader of these lines will have
good luck. Nothing veptured, nothing
gained
While The National Tribune Guessing
Contests are not as large as some that are
much advertised, the absolute fairness and
openness that have characterized them
have made them very popular. Fewer
people engage in these contests, therefore
the chances of winning are better than to
engage in contest in which many thou
sands take part.
This point is often overlooked.
The National tribune., 1903-09-17

During the past four years The Ma
tiOnal Tribune has shared profits with its
patrons, and those who become such, in
the form of Guessing Contests. These con
tests have never degenerated. as have
some others, into pure speculative ven
lures. They are actual awards for skill
and good judgment. and no more harmful
than guessing at the weather. They lend
a little animation and excitement to the
prosy work of doing something for the
paper, and the prizes, we know, often con-
tribute to the well being and happiness of
our friends and patrons.
Prizes have been well distributed to ev-
cry State and Territory. We print this
week a partial list of prizes that have gone
to Ohio. Perhaps the reader of these lines
may know some of these winners:
