Passing of Two Wits.

With the passing of the Fiftyseventh Congress two of the best story tellers in the Senate retired to private life. For twenty years the wit of George G. Vest of Missouri has enlivened the cloak rooms, and John P. Jones of Nevada also closed his public career. While Senator Vest was brilliant on the floor. he was wittiest in the smoking room. When surrounded by a group of appreciative listeners he would tell stories and make iests by the hour. Senator Jones also has not kept his fun under a bushel. He is extremely serious and profound in debate, but in a free and easy discussion in the cloak room his quaint humor is second 10 that of no member of the Senate. Both will be greatly missed by their old colleagues, who mourn because there are none in the present Senate to take their places.

If the new bonds were to be issued now at par there would be profit to the owners of the bonds. talk ing the present market valuation as a basis of about per cent for the per cent bonds surrendered and about 1-2 per cent for the fs of 1907.

 How practically worthless Is much ot the mail received by a famous man, the late Thomas B.

 Action by Passenger against Railroad
 Company to recover Damages for Per
 sonal Injuries.-Appeal from the Cir
 cult Court of Jefferson.
 l. Duty of conductor in starting and stopping cars; what constitutes negligence on his part.-1n operating street cars or trains drawn by dummy engines, 1t Is the duty of t6le conductor or those in charge Of such cars or trains, after stopping for the reception or discharge of passengers, 10 see and know, before starting that no passenger Is in the act of alighting, or in position which would be rendered peril ous by putting the car in motion; and in failing to discharge this duty, such con- ductor or employees are guilty of negll- gence.
 ?. Negligence of passenger; stepping from train while in motion: question for Jury.-ln an action against railroad company by passenger to recover dam ages for personal injuries. where there Is evidence tending to show that as the train was slowing up in response to a signal by person desiring to take pas sage, the plaintiff who was 0 passenger on said train walked to the step of said car preparatory to alighting therefrom, and while standing on the step there was a sudden jerk of the train which threw injuries complained of. the question as to whether or not the plaintiff was guilty of such contributory negligence as would preclude her recovery of damages is one for the jury 10 determine from all the evidence. and it is error for the court to give the general affirmative charge at the request of the defendant.
 8. Negligence of passenger; stepping from train in motion not negligence per se.-The voluntary leaving of car by a passenger while it is in motion is not negligence per SC, but 1t is for the jury to say whether the passenger acted as a reasonably prudent and cautious man would have acted under like circum- stances. and was. therefore guilty of neg ligence.

Farm Run by Electricity.

The most wonderful farm in the world is situated in Canada. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that everything is worked hy electricity Two waterfalls within the bounds of the farm, some 60 feet and 1SC feet high. furnish the motive power, a central power house being erected near and the current Is transmitted by wires to every available pdace on the farm. The churns and other necessary instruments have electric attachments. A motor oi n-hOrse power works the moving ma chine and another works a log saw; while the house barns and grounds of the farm are illuminated by electricity. The owner declares that he saves some $2,5ol in labor annually.

BRONCHITIS We Know is Hard to
 Control. Our VinOl is Making a Won- derful Record in Curing
 This Dangerous l,
 Disease. CALL AND LET US TELL YOU
 ABOUT IT.

Here is letter that has just come to our attention. It will interest people suffering from bronchial troubles. It is from Mir. Geo. w. Brown, of So. Han over, N. H., and reads as follows:
 "Ihave suffered with bronchial trou- bles for over year; tried two doctors and have taken three or four kinds of medicine, none of which did me any good. At times I was so hoarse | could not speak. Then I heard of Vinol. After taking three bottles of it my voice has perfectly returned to me. can see that in a short time I will be all right. When 1 began to take it was very weak, but it has built me up and given me good appe- tite."
 This is what Vinol always does. This is the way Vinol accomplishes it's mission of doing good.
 Vinol, as we wish every one to know, owes its power of accomplishing the cures that it effects to the fact that it contains the most wonderful medicinal elements known to science for the cure of all wasting diseases, as we'll as be- ing in itself a marvellous tonic. These medicinalpropertiesexistandhavehere and nave here. tofore been found only in cod-liver oil, Vinol contains these elements. For by a scientific process the necessary cura- tive properties of the cod-liver oil have been separated from the fat and grease which formerly made cod-liver oil prepr arations so objectionable.
 As long as Vinol does not contain any of the vile-smelling oil, and is pre- pared by combining the sought-after properties with a delicate table wine, 1t is a most delicious and palatable preparation.
 We know of what we speak when we recommend VinOl, and because we do know that Vinol does all we claim for 1t, we unheSitatingly en- dOrSe 1t, and guarantee at any time to refund the money paid for the remedy if you are not satisfied 1t will do all we claim for 1t.
