ED. DAVIS LEGS CRUSHED BY
CARS.
FELL ASLEEP on TRACK
Dies at Hospital Few Hours After
Sustaining lnjury-Was stran-
ger Hereabouts.

When Ed. Davis laid down in the
Northern Pacifs yards yesterday at
ternoon to sleep off the effects of too
much liquor that he drank earlier
in the day, it was to take his last
sleep on earth.
AS a resting place he selected the
shelter of a platform between the
Yegen wholesale warehouse and the
distance separates the two and it is
supposed that in his sleep he rolled
and tossed about until both of his
legs projected across the rail, in
which position he was when a switch
engine backed a string OF cars onto
the siding. The crew happened to be
at the other end and no one saw Davis,
whose presence became known only
when he uttered the most ear piercing
| cries of pain, after the wheels OF sew
eral cars had passed we his legs.
Then help fastened to him, but it was
too late. All that could be done was
to summon physicians and the ambu-
lance and he was removed to st. Vim.
cents hospital.
The man was mangled in a fright
full manner His right leg apparently
had lain at right angles across the
rail, as it was cut off above the an
kle. The left must have been in
longitudinal position, for the wheels
had passed over it lengthwise, crush
ing the bones from the toes to wei
above the knee. When he was picked
up the foot of this leg dropped tt
the ground.
Notwithstanding his frightful in
juries Davis retained consciousness
and to the doctors gave his name
He said he had a brother, David Da
Wis, who resided at Ce%ntervilie, a
suburb of Butte. He also said III
recognized Doctor Lindsey, n OF th'
physicians called to attend him, bu
the doctor failed to remember him.
At the hospital it was decided tina
the mans chances of recovery wer'
so small as to be hardly worth con
sidering, but it was concluded to dt
everything possible for him. Onl.
amputation remained and accordingl.
both legs were taken off, with thu
faint hope that he would live. Thu
shock and loss of blood, however
had been too great and Davis die
at 9 o'clock, about three hours afte
he had been injured.
Shortly before he was run owe
several persons saw Davis i'll Mime
sofa He was much under TIL
Influence of liquor then. Only 10 cent
was al. the money he had. This wa
found in one of his pockets.

The Inside Route.
Savannah News.

Savannah News.
The commercial bodies OfSavannah
gave willing and enthusiastic endorse
ment to the project for an improved
inland water route between the north
and the South. as advocated by Con-
gresham Small, of North Carolina
The benefits that would flow from the
opening of such Il navigable channel
along the coast as that proposed are
50 we'll understood by shipping and
sea-faring men as to need no argu-
ment. For a greater part of the dis
lance the ''inside route is already
practicable; with the aid of govern
ment appropriations in a reasonable
amount the whole distance could be
opened to the proposed width and
depth SO that cargOes Ofconsiderable
weight could be transferred between
the north and the south without run
ming the great risk of the shoals off
Hatteras. The present project, if we
underestimate, contemplates the using
OF the outside route from Beaufort
inlet, North Carolina, to Georgetown,
but has in view the ultimate con-
structiOn of continuous inside route
without this break. The short out
side passage referred to is regarded
as safe and easy, and may be made
without difficulty with small craft,
tugs and barges. Not only would
the inside route, as proposed, be a
good thing commercially, but it
would be Invaluable in time of war.

Paine'S Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst ills of life. The man or woman who
IS subject to headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing load OF misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to think
of.
Headaches as rule, result from dis
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily
fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debilitated, The whole nervous system is weak
cned and headaches result. If the liver IS
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
deranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
TEN must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases of headache, nervous
feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently
cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the
great reconstructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
of her release from suffering follows
al have been troubled with dyspepsia anc
sick headache for number of years. About
every week l would have bad spell of sick
headache, but since l began using Paine
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and
l do not have any more headaches. feel

Wide Tires.
Prof. J. 4. Holmes.

/ TOI d a. hOiuits
The necessity for the use OF wide
tires is recognized in those communi-
ties that have once used them In
many of our States laws exist cont
pelling their use on the public roads,
but in the absence of such legislation
in our own State, a practical good
might be accomplished bya few of the
leading citizens in each community
adopting wide tires for wagons upon
which heavy loads are hauled The
use OF vehicles thus equipped would
necessarily attract the attention of
all persons engaged in hauling and if
the wide tires had the real merit
claimed by their advocates,it would
not be long before they might come
into general use.
In foreign countries the subject of
wide tires has received considera BILE
attention and from the consular re-
ports the following is gathered as to
the usage there:
Austria-Tires four and third
inches for load OF two and one-fourth
tons, and six and one-fourth inches
for loads of four and one-half tons or
over
France-Usual width of tires four
to six inches, with the rear axle
twelve to fourteen inches longer than
the fore.
Germany-For heavyloads a width
of at least four inches.
Switzerland-A width of one inch
for each draft animal, and for heavy
loads not less than six inches.
Most of the States in this country,
and many foreign countries. prescribe
conditions of widths to loads hauled
on the general principle that wide
tires contribute in no small degree to
the proper maintenance OF the high
way.
If | were called on for suggestion
in regard to the matter, would sug-
gest that all rolling stock having
tires of four inches in width or over
used on the public highways be
exempt from taxation.
