WORKMAN SURVIVES
SHOCK OF 800 VOLTS
}. M. Dement, Merely Exhausted by
E eCtriC Current.

J. NJ Dement,, Of 493 Pennsylvania
Avenue, employed at the Potomac Elec-
trlcal Company powerhouse at Four
teenth and B Streets northwest, last
night took more than 500 volts of cleo
tricity through mis- body and lives to tell
the tale.
Dement, works in the dynamo room
and went on duty about O'Clock last
night. few minutes later he stopped
down near one of the smaller machines,
and as he did so his elbow came In
contact with the brush of the dynamo.
The contact was maintained but an
instant, but during that time the full
force of the current passed through De-
ments body. His foot was on the ground
which grounded the circuit, and enabled
him 10 break the contact
Dement'S sensation was that of a mo-
mentary blank, followed by great physi-
cal exhaustion. After he had had a few
minutes to recover, he dragged himself
10 the Emergency Hospital. where re-
storatives were administered. 1t was
found that the flesh had been disin-
tegrated wnere the contact was main
tanned on the arm.
After treatment Dement, was able to go
to his room. This morning he was still
very much exhausted, and left for his
home at Pamunkey, Md, for a vacation
and rest.

LACK OF COMPETITION
COSTS DISTRICT MONEY
Commissioners Receive Printing
Report, But Must Pay Bill.

The Globe Printing Company. through
its manager. Thomas W. Cadick, has
made answer to the complaint OF the
Commissioners, alleging en- overcharge
on a bill for printing certain street.
sweeping schedules. Mr. Cadick denies
that the charge of $3.50 is excessive,
although the same work was done last
year by another firm for less than half
that amount.
The specific complaint is that the firm
charged for setting up an entire new
form, when only a few words had been
changed in form for another schedule.
The Commissioners think the company
should be paid for the actual work
in making the change, and not for the
new fern.
Mr.. Cadick claims that his Office had
no means of ascertaining that any two
of the forms were alike, except by
making a detailed comparison. which
would have been more work than setting
the new form. He also claims that
as his company suffers loss on some
of it's contracts with the District, it
should be allowed TO make a little
monCs on others.
Commissioner West said today that
the bill of the Globe Company for $3.50
would probably have TO be paid, but
that Mr.. Cadicks reply would be re-
ferred 10 in awarding the next printing
contract. II the Commissioners can have
the same work done fer half the price,
they intend TO do So

Rufus Hubbard arrived last week
from Des Moines and expects to spend
the winter here-most of the time with
MS son, $. A. Lumbard, on the latter's

isn't a healthier spot in the world
Than South Dakota most any time

There is a shortage of turkeys again
this year all over the west. In
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska
and Minnesota the shortage is due to
a vet, cold spring. We've been short
OF turkeys in this state for some time
1T seems c~hronic-and not being a
turkey expert, we can't say what the
trouble is. The turks will sell for 20
cents a pound in Sioux City this year.
We do not remember a fall in many
years in which the farmers are as
busy as this. 1t all comes about by a
much greater crop to take care Of
particularly corn. We really think
the value of the 1908 crop in Brule
county is almost fifty per cent greater
than any previous year. 1t to this
could have been added a fair price for
cattle our farmers and stockmen
would have all been in the swim.

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Ea plenty Of
pork was the advice to the
~consumptive SO and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the ~consumptive needs
most.
ern method Of feeding fat to
the Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
Of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in Scott's Emulsion
puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

Apropos of government ownership
of railways, w. e. Curtiss, the
Chicago Record-Herald correspondent,
contributes a bit OF interesting in
formation on this point. He recently
set out fer a trip around the
world and gives an illustra-
ton Of railway rates abroad an
writing up his journey from Paris TO
Biarritz, Spain, .sThe distance is 4O7
miles and the time for the journeyis
twelve hours and twenty minutes,
which is an average OF about thirty
four miles an hour. The regular rail
road fare is $500 francs; the supple
ment, or extra charge for the luxury
is 1850 francs, with three francs for
the seat and $50 for baggage, making
total Of 1850 francs, which is
about S29 Of our money, and, some
thing mor than I cents a mile.
People who complain of high railway
fares In the United States should
travel awhile in Europe. For sake of
comparison, the distance from Paris
to BiarIitz is about the same as that
between Chicago and st. Paul, the
comforts afforded are nowhere near as
great as those found on the trains of
the Northwestern and st. Paul rail-
ways, and the rates are more than
half double. We had an excellent,
