Ed. Mealy, of Hickory township,
who pays a little attention 10 such mat
ters in their proper season, captured
a fine specimen OF the bear family one
day last week. on the head waters of
Queen creek. The animal weighed 1856
pounds "hog dressed and had as fine a
ing jet black. The bear had been in
trouble before, for one of his fore legs
was missing from the elbow down, no
doubt caused by being mixed up with a
trap of some kind, and had evidently
chewed its w leg off. The wound had
healed perfectly, and didn't seem to
bother him much, as he could give the
best of 'em a good run for his money.
The carcas was sold t. an on City party
and will be made the centre attraction in a
barbecue to be given by the Derrick and
Blizzard forces on Christmas, so reported
Mr.. Mealy says there is another much
finer specimen in his neighborhoOd
which he expects to capture before long.

F There is an unsolved mystery in the ear
Of every human being. The function Of
certain portions of the inner ear is not I'M
derstood, but merely guessed at. Within the
ear are three small globe shaped protuber-
ances. These have their inner sides covered
with small cells, each of which contains a
tiny hair surrounded by q fluid When you
move sharply the hairs follow the motion,
while the lymph naturally moves less rapid
~. Thus the hairs are bent in direction
opposite to that of the movement, and by
means OF delicate nerves the irritation thus
produced rs telegraphed direct to the brain.
1t Is supposed that by means of these hairs
swimming in lymph the sensation we call
dizziness is caused when we rotate rapidly
as in dancing. 1t is also believed that sea-
SICKNESS has. something to do with the same
phenomenon. 1t has been noticed that some
persons, when suffering from ear diseases
that have destroyed parts of the inner ear,
nave found 1T difficult or impossible to
maintain their balance when standing IN
right with closed eyes, It is therefore pos
sible that these peculiar ear organs contain
some inexplicable sense not generally
elass1fled as such-the static sense. or sense
of balance.

Nearly all railroad men are subjected to

Nearly all railroad men are subjected to
two kinds of trouble-rheumatism and
kidney diseases. Being out in all kinds
of weather, with little protection from
rain, sleet or snow, their blood quickly
becomes thin, and rheumatic aches take
possession of the body. Statistics show
that larger percentage Of Bright's dis
ease victims are among trainmen than
any other class. The humanitarian work
of"Blood Wine" in curing these stubborn
diseases, has called forth statements of
gratitude from all over the country. Mr..
Dan A. Metzel, Of POP South Eighth ST.,
Terra Haute, Ind, an engineer, says'
"For some years was greatly troubled with

newly erected wireless station on Peter

Capt. McGray believes that the pole is
surrounded by land, and when this land is
reached 1t will be found covered with com,

But it requires from 81 100000 to 81, $780,

the money to come from? Capt. McGray
proposes that 1t be furnished by ten multi
millionaires. each of whom shall equip

an officer of his choice, the fleet to be COM
manded by a navy officer. 1t is beautiful
and hopeful scheme, provided the Million

who combine the required wealth and pub

many men were annually engaged In the

the automobile has taken its place in the
