The Sanitary Problem.
His account of the sanitary problem
is even more impressive: 1.-THE French
exercised little or no sanitary control
over their canal laborers. They built
little villages of wood and galvanized
iron for the men to live in, but in most
cases provided neither water nor
drains. If they fell ill in camp and
did not die at once, they were trans.
ported after a day or two to the hos.
pitfalls at Colon or Panama. That was
about as far as the French medical
care or control extended from 1880 on.

600. The construction gangs were of.
ten crippled and ineffective. Excava.
tors, locomotives and other machines
stood idle for weeks, because the men
or the foremen were ill or dead. The
losses of time and money from this
cause were enormous Work was
stopped from time to time, and often
did not begin again for a month, pay
being drawn all the while for the en-
tire gang The direct loss from this
cause alone is believed to have ex-
ceeded seventy million francs. The
indirect loss from delay and democrat
ization can never be determined.

Women ri r.e;u-.

Some of The New York journals have
been busy commenting on the fact
that the farmers in Monroe county. in
this state, allowed their Wives and
daughters to work in the harvest
fields, says the York, Pa, Gazette.
There is nothing in this to cause ridi-
cule OF, adverse comment 1t has not
been so many years since it was not
unusual to see as many women as
men in the harvest field.
In those days. however, doctor
never became rich by prescribing for
nervous prostration and other ills OF
the gentler sex. Now. as much as
ever, women yearn for outdoor exer-
else, but in their search for it they
have forsaken the harvest fields and
sought it on the golf links or in the
tennis courts, where the work.. as
compared with the harvest field, is as
the gentle zephyrs which float across
the lawn compared with the blasts OF
the hurricane.

very amusing story, which is caus-
ing CONSERVATION in several homes. is
being told around town; and the truth
OF it is vouched fol- by one of the bust
ness men.
1t has become a custom of a num-
Der of enterprising liquor houses in
st. Louis and Kentucky to solicit or
ders by mail. They write to we'll
known people in the various cities,
asking them to submit lists of names
of persons who use whisky. When
these addresses are received the
houses mail circulars presenting their
proposition. They state that they will
send a certain number of bottles of
specified brand in plain box, pre-
paid, for a certain amount of money
and if these circulars, are productive
of business, the man who first submit
ted the list of names Receives a per-
centage on the sales.
Some time ago one of our business
men received request for addresses
to which circulars and other advertis-
ing matter might be sent. This man,
being a practical joker, here saw an
opportunity, and taking the blanks
which had been sent him, filled them
with names and addresses of people
who were known to be total abstain
ers, who never were known to take
glass of liquor nor to have it any
where about their premises.
Time went on and the business man
had forgotten all about the incident,
but it was called forcibly to his mind
when, one day, he received draft
from the Southern liquor house for
about s14, accompanied by a letter,
stating that this sum represented

A Sad Accident.

A most distressing accident occurr-
ed at Belpre Tuesday evening about
half past eight O'Clock by which f. c.
Finch of this city lost his right hand
and arm. MIR. Finch is a carpenter
and has been employed for some time
by Mr.. Meyers on the. Belpre school
house. Tuesday evening he went to
the depot with Mr.. McAfee. The west
bound local freight pulled in and
blocked the main track and an extra
was on the siding. After waiting for
some time for the track to be cleared
and around the local and stepped on
to the passing track. The engine of
the extra was backing..d down from the
west without any protection and ow-
ing to the noise of the local they
could not hear it, and as no light was
showing they were not aware of its
approach until they were struck.
McAfee was knocked off of the right
of way and only suffered a bruise on
his side while Finch was knocked
down between the rails. His right
arm was caught under the wheels as
soon as he fell. He threw his legs up
and they caught over the front axle
of the tender and he clasped hold of
there until the engineer could bring,
his engine to stop, having heard
Finch's cries from under the engine.
DR.. O'Flyng, of Belpre, could not
be found so the extra left its train
and with Mr. Finch and his compan-
ions aboard the caboose came to
Kinsley as quickly as possible.
Agent Glass was notified and called.
Drs. Mosher and Haynes. Mr.. Finch
was taken to the Marsh avenue hotel
and his right arm taken off a little
above the elbow. IL was decided not
to notify his wife until morning as
she is in delicate health. Wednesday
morning DR.. Mosher went down and
told her of her hus band's condition.
Mr.. Finch will be kept at the hotel
for few days until it is considered
safe to move him. His escape from
death is due to good luck and good
nerve which enabled him to hold his
grip until the engine stopped. Mr..
Finch is a highly respected and hard
working man and he and his family
have the sympathy and will have the
assistance of this community as far
as it is possible to be OF help to them.
He is a member in good standing
in the A. o. U. w. and in the Mac
cabees, and carries an accident poll
cy which will under the circumstances
entities him to $50 per month for six
months. In addition to this he
should recover a large sum of money
from the railroad company as FROM
the description OF the accid the
trainmen must have been negligent in
protecting their train. The Santa Fe
claim agent telegraphed as soon as
he was notified that he would come at
once and it Is possible that the
amount of damages will be agreed on
without a lawsuit. At this writing 1t
is not thought that Mr.. Finch has
suffered any serious injury aside
from the loss of his arm, although
there are several cuts on his head and
some severe bruises on his body.

A Pleasing Entertainment.

The Columbia Dramatic company,
under, the management of Mr.. Sam
Manuel, gave very pleasing per-
Torrance of the popular play, "Uucle
Rube,'' in the Christian church build
ing Wednesday evening. The play,
as it's name implies, is REPRODUCED on
of rural life, and the scenes are laid
in Vermont and New York. with a
Vermont homestead as the central
point of interest. AS is usual in
such plays, the villains have the up
per hand for time, hut in the~end
justice finally triumphs and the evil
minded conspirators are consigned to
the fate common to most wrongd oers,
from which they are only saved by
the intercession of one whom they
have BEEN attempting to defraud.
The principals in the cast showed
a surprising degree of histrionic tai
ent, and surprised the large audience
which greeted them in very agree
able manner. Outside of the embar,
rassmeht which usually character
ICES the productions of amateurs, the
performers seemed perfectly at home
in their parts. The principal role
was taken by Mr.. Ed Fletcher, and
he was we'll supported by his com
pany.
"Uncle RUDE" feels so very good
over the reception accorded him that
he will doubtless make his appear
ance again in the very near future
The following is the cast of charac.

After the close of the play, space
was cleared in the front part of the
room and tables were brought in.
These we're soon covered with many
of the good things which go to make
life worth living, aud Che way in
which they were cleared off by the
hungry crowds showed that the efforts
of those who provided this feature of
the nights entertainment were much
appreciated.
Another pleasing part of the pro-
gram was the rendering of several
selections by county orchestra. with
