The feat of turning a somersault on
the back Of galloping horse, or even
while the animal is walking, is a diff
cult feat to accomplish. Good riders
practice from four to five years before
they are considered worthy of pub

somersault rider, is proficient in this
calling and appears daily with Coll
mar Bros.' Big. Railroad Shows
and gigantic menagerie. Will be at

Karl D. Fisk is to be in Cresco soon,
psepaled to render efficientaid to per-
sons with defective eye-sight. An
Optician is one who deals in optical
glasses and Instruments; an Oculist is
one skilled in the treatment of the
diseases of the eye and of defective
eye-sight as resultant. Because Mr..
Fisk is an oculist as we'll as an optic
ian is why you should consult him to
obtain relief from defective eye-sight,
as 1t is necessary to first know what
is the cause Of the difficulty, then the
remedy.

P. A. CLEMMER'S SUCCESS.
Great Popularity of Plan to Sell, Medi.
cine at Half-Price and Guarantee
a Cure

-.
p. A. Clemmer, the enterprisinp
druggist, rather than await the ordi-
nary methods of introduction, urged
the DR.. Howard Co. to secure quick
sale for their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dyspepsia
by Offering the regular SOC. bottle at
half-prlce.
So much talk has been caused by
this offer, and so many new friends
have been for the specific, that the
DR.. Howard Co. have authorized drug
gist P. A. Clemmer to continue this
special half-price sale for limited
time longer.
In addition to selling SOC bottle of
DR.. Howard.s specific for Csc, P. A
Clemmer has so much faith in the
remedy that he will refund the money
to anyone whom it does not cure.
When your head aches, your stomach
does not digest food-eaisly and natu-
rally, when there is constipation,
specks before the eyes, tired feelings,
giddiness, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, heartburn, sour stom-
ach, roaring or ringing in the ears,
melancholy, and liver troubles, DR..
Howard's specific will cure you. II it
does not, it will not cost you cent.
This latest achievement Of science
is OF great value in curing sick head
ache. Thousands of women are to-day
free from that painful disease solely
through the use of this specific.

Peanut Eaters in Cars.


"If could have my way about It."
said a sensitive citizen, II would have
a law passed forbidding the eating of
peanuts in elevated or surface cars,
and requiring the guards or conduc-
tors to eject from the cars any person
so offending. Men, strange as it may
seem, not children. are the chief Of
tenders in this direction. You may
see grown men sitting in car, and,
regardless of their fellow-passengers,
calmly eating peanuts and dropping
the shells on the floor. To many per-
sons the odor CT peanuts within con-
fined space, as in railroad car. Is
unpleasant, as the sight of the litter
of shells on the floor must be to all.
But the men peanut eaters go right
on eating and so disposing CT the
shells. Why, have seen a district
messenger boy eating peanuts in
car do better than they in one way,
anyhow; this boy put his empty shells
into the paper bag from which he had
emptied the peanuts into his pockets.
Il have seen men eat apples in an
elevated car and throw the ccre un-
der the seat. l have seen a man eat
an orange in an elevated car, and not
even take the trouble to do that with
the orange peel, but just lay that
down on the vacant seat beside him.
But such men as those | regard as

Traffic in Stolen Pets.

Many fashionably dressed ladies
attended at Marlborough street police
court recently, when a good deal Of
light was thrown on the disappear.
ance and temperance of valuable
pet dogs. According to the police,
the two men in the dock, Jewell and
Skinnerton, made business Of steal
afterward restoring them in consider
alton of a reward. and on condition
that no proceedings should be taken.
The first witness was Miss Viola Will
berforce, daughter of Archdeacon Will
berfcrce, whose Aberdeen terrier sud.
denly vanished one day in High street,
Bloomsbury. A friend of hers having
mentioned Skinnerton. she wrote to
him saying she heard he was clever at
finding lost dogs. and could he find
hers.
Subsequently he advised her to
write "as a fool" tc Jewell, who had
the animal. "Were you able to re-
duce yourself TO writing as II you
were fool?" asked counsel; and Miss
Wilberforce, with a smile, replied
"Yes."
Archdeacon Wilberforce gave evil
dence that Jewell called at the house
with the dog, which he said he had
bought for Ell. He was given G3
los, and another C was sent to Skin

Canals of France.

Few who have not Travelled in South
ern and Central France know OF her
vast system of canals and canalized
rivers. Many persons spend months
or even years in Paris and know
nothing of the great basins in that
city from which canals radiate. binding
all parts of France to the great heart
of the capital. These canals run into
rivers connecting those of the water
sheds north, south and west. Through
many of these small streams-we at
home would call them creelks-you will
see little towboats putting, grunting
and lifting up heavy chain from the
canalized river bed, winding it round
a drum, and thus towing long Lines Of
barges with a most economic expendi-
ture Of power.

hoTHINo BUT TREEs.
A Continent Long This Wonderful
Woods Of the Great Northwest.


Nowhere else in the world is there
such forest as this. A few steps in
any direction from the roads of the
loggers bring one at once to the prime
val wood.
Turn to the north. A thousand and
five hundred miles you may wander, IL
you will, and never escape the inclos-
British possessions, through endless
reaches of mountains, snow-capped, in

ing but trees and trees-cedar, fir, hem
lock, pine, spruce. Turn to the south.
For thousand miles of Sierra. through
the heart of California, where grows
the Sequoia, the monarch among trees,
to the very deserts of the Mexican bor-
der, and you will find this forest still
covering all the hills, thick, silent, and
all but undisturbed. A continent long
is this wood, facing the Pacific, here
two hundred miles wide, from the
waters edge across the heights OF the
Cascades and the Sierra, there narrow
ing to a thin, struggling, yet persist
ent growth along the mountain tops.
This tree before you, rising two hun
dred and fifty feet in air, straight and
strong, thick-coated with brown bark,
its mighty base setting firmly in the
earth. its roots gripping deep, was
growing before Columbus saw America.
Five hundred years has it been stand
ing here. raising its head to the sky.
What storms II bent before; under
what ages of sunshine has 1t gained
strength; what lightning strokes have
threatened it, what sweeping fires!
And still 1t stands with the sublime
majesty of age and strength, fearful Of
nothing-and the sound of axes knock
ing in the valley below!
But long before the seed of this
hoary giant was sown in the wind, for
ests were old on these hills. For fifty
thousand years and more have these
mountains been forest clad, one for

youth to maturity, sinking away in

other generation of trees. Deep in the

MINES THAT ARE DEEPEST.
One Near Lake Superior Goes Down
Nearly a Mile.

In no other district in the world
are active mining operations carried
on at such a depth as in the Lake
Superior copper region. The No. 5
shaft of the Tamarack mine is the
deepest in the world. having attained
a vertical depth of 4,940 feet, nearly a
mile. Not far behind 1t is the Red
jacket shaft of the Calumet and Hec-
la. which is down 1920 feet. Another
deep shaft of the Calumet and Hecla
is the No. OF the Calumet branch of
the property. This is down $500 feet
on an incline of mile and a half.
In view of the marvellous efficiency Of
the modern hoisting engine no consid-
erations of a mechanical nature need
limit the prospective depth of shafts.
The greatest obstacle to deep mining
is the proportionate increase in tenn
perature. In the Lake Superior cop
per district State Geologist Lake has
ascertained that the temperature in
tho mine varies one degree for every
100 feet. The temperature in tho
deepest shafts at the Tamarack and
Calumet and Hecla varies between So
and 80 degrees, and in view of these
conditions it is evident that consider
able depths can yet be attained in
this section.
