TUNNEL LIKE AN INFERNO.
Railway Shaft at Gallitxin Filled
With Death Drafts.


With Death Drafts.
1t has been found that the tunnel
at Gallitzin, on the summit of the AL
leghany mountains, twenty-five miles
from Altoona, Pa, which the Pennsyl-
vania railroad recently opened to traf-
fic, is little short Of an inferno, says
the Philadelphia Ledger. AT times the
temperature rises to $50 degrees, and
1t never falls below 1875.
The dangerous gases from the en-
gines' suffOcating smoke are a constant
menace to the lives Of trainmen. En-
gineers and fremen use handkerchiefs
to prevent inhaling the atmosphere.
Brakemen hang low down on car stir
rups. The company has had experts
at the tunnel for the past few days to
devise some method to force a draft
through the tunnel. A powerful fan
may be tried The hole is nearly a
mile long and with single track.

at one time likely to embroil the black
republic In war with France and
Germany, is explained now as the mis-

The clatter of hoofs through the
town of Elkins, w. Va, the other day
brought the people TO their doors to
see the military figure of Henry Gas
saway Davis, Democratic nominee for
vice president, mounted on his big
Kentucky thoroughbred, riding through
the rain toward the Davis Memorial
hospital, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Seven-year-old Everett Swecker was
pronounced by the doctors TO be hope
lessly Ill Of hip disease. Ex-senator
Davis heard Of Everett and brought
him to the hospital. The surgeons
worked miracle, and ex-senator Da-
Wis paid the bill. Everett prayed We

night In return. The other day they
told him he could walk and was to go

When the late Stephanus Johannes
Paulus Kruger, ex-president OF the
Transvaal republic, was about fifteen
years Of age his father, sister and he
went with the bullock team some dis
lance into the Orange Free State, says
the New York Post. The senior hru-
ger was forced 10 remain and told Paul
TO take the team home and to look
after his sister 'I'll take care OF her,
father" was the reply. Everything
went well until the children were about
five miles from home. Then panther
appeared in the road. The sixteen bull
locks in the team took fright and ran
away. The jolting Of the wagon threw
the sister from the seat into the road
way, where she was at the mercy OF
the beast. Paul, without a rifle, ran
TO her rescue and tackled the panther.
1t was fierce struggle, but in the end
he managed to kill the animal with his
knife.

ISOLATED with his name, says John
Wallace In the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The road runs through mountainous
part Of country, and caution is needed
even In these days, but some years ago,
when train out Of Elkins for Beling-
ton had to run back to Elkins before it
made a run to Beverley, a dozen miles
away on another branch, Senator Da-
Wis, As he is still known among the peo-
pie Of that part Of the country and
likewise beloved, was asked why he
did not run another train to Beverley.
He replied Enthusiastically that zone
train couldn't come together on the

STYLES IN NECKWEAR.

Color of Mems Ties Same as Wo-

at Is hard to account for styles In
reporter of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
This season the best colors will be
browns and puppies. Purple might not
have been 80 popular as 1t is If it were
not for the fact that King Edward
wore flaring purple tie at the Ascot.
Next fall green ties will be the rage,
and you can account for them because
they 60 well with brown suits, and
the leading tailors are pushing brown
suitings. Another reason, if you can
figure it out as such, is the fact that
women are wearing great deal Of
green this spring. That is usually an
unfailing sign that the men will wear
1t In the fall.
"Wide ties are the best sellers of
the season, the smallest being two and
quarter inches wide. and from that
they run up to the big squares that re-
quire half yard Of wide silk apiece
One Of the effects of the big tie craze
will be reversion this fall to wing
collars, for they cannot be worn to
advantage with rundown collars.
'As to the figures in ties, the stripes
and dots will remain, but the grotesque,
fancy figures will take the best, and
they are being made up in every shade.
When these ties are designed the fig
ures are sketched only in black and
white, and the neckwear manufacturer
then has his goods woven, with a GER
tain color for certain portions of the
design. Until he receives the goods
from the looms he does not know how
the combination will look"

Here is another Of the innumerable
stories of Kruger: A question about
division of some property as to
which two brothers had a dispute was
referred to him and it was agreed that
his Judgment should be accepted. Aft
er hearing both sides said he to the
elder one: 81 decide that you, being
the senior, shall have the dividing Of
this property; but" he added, with a
twinkle in his eye, 81 also decide that
your brother shall have his choice of
the two portionsw

Kruger's left thumb was lost through
his rife exploding when he fired at a
rhinoceros, says the Chicago News. He
said: Next day our people, guided by

spot and there they found the rhinoc-
eros still alive, and, following the trail
of blood, discovered the remains OF the
rifle and my thumb. My hand was In

wagons, where his wife and sister-in-
law were sitting by the fire. The sis
ter-in-law pointed to his hand. Look
wnat fat game Brother Paul has been
shooting" she said, and that was all.
They went home. Kruger took out his
knife and cut across the ball Of the
thumb, removing as much as was nee
essary. "Then they killed goat, took
out the stomach and cut 1t open. l put
my hand into II while II was still
warm" and thus was the wound
healed.

Once when KrugerSWas chasing a
buffalo bull and his horse had brought
him close to the game, the buffalo
stumbled and fell into a wallow filed
by recent rains from muddy pool.
says the Philadelphia Times. Unable
to check his speed the horse followed,
and with his rider fell in heap on the
bull. Not for an instant did Kruger
lose his presence of mind. He sprang
from his horse, and, seizing the horns
Of the buffalo, twisted the head 80 as
to bring the nose and mouth Of the
animal under water There he held 1t
by main force, himself astride Of the
buffalo, until it was drowned.
At eighteen Kruger was assistant
field cornet; at twenty, full field cornet.
His public life began at this time.
Thenceforward he played a conspicu-
GUS part in all the wars and civil strug-
giles of the Transvaal. In one eXpedi-
ton against the Katfir chiefs Mapela
and Makapan he had an adventure in
which he gave one more proof Of his
fearless spirit, says the New York
Tribune. The Boer commando had
driven the Kaffirs into some caves in
the mountains, where they suffered Sc
verely from famine but obstinately re.
fused to surrender. Kruger, wishing
to bring the siege to close, crept In
| the dark into one Of the caves where
large body of Kaftirs lay and began
| to talk to them in their own language
| suggesting that it would be better for
them to surrender than to die Of hun
ger and offering to go to the white
men to negotiate.
Suddenly Kaffir who recognized
by the voice that 1t was not one OF
his own people who spoke exclaimed
"Magoa" white man. At the cry al
the Katiirs rushed suddenly into the
back of the cave. He followed then
and was not killed because in the dark
ness they could not distinguish the In
truder. Finally he again addressed
them, Stimulating their accent, and sue

LaDored Hard For Pierre Fourteen
Years ago and Now Sees the
Folly OF 1t.
Kro,n Mitchell Republican,

(From Mitchell Republican,
Editor Republican: Having la
bored hard in the time of the loca-
ton of the capital at Pierre along
the Northwestern railroad and in
the Black Hills. I desire to say that
take great delight in the question
of capital removal and find my
sympathies wholly reversed from
the position taken by me years ago.
During five weeks spent in travel
upon three roads in South Dakota 1
have only seen one Pierre button
upon a man That intended to vote
for the retention of the capital at
Pierre, while I have met hundreds
of Mitchell buttons on men that
were willing to declare their opin-
ions on all occasions. My little boy
seven years old after hearing the
merits of the two capital aspirants
earnestly argued, took a Pierre pin
from his coat and gave it to me
saying that he did not want to wear
that any nor All up and down
these Bijou valleys the people are
in a great majority for Mitchell.
Many that worked with me years
ago in the Black Hills to place the
capital at Pierre are tired of riding
around Robin Hoods barn in Ne
braska and want a a and more
accessible capital. In most places
that l have been the capital issue
is the main topic. 1t seems to be a
foregone conclusion that Roosevelt
will be elected, so the people fire
into the capital topic for their en-

capital accessible, economical and

ber." @. u. MURRAY.
