The Funny Side of Railroadlng.

The strenuous life of a railroad man is occasionally relieved by funny situ- ations. The most comical are these where a joke is not intended. For ex- ample:
 The Santa Fe publishes very inter- csting beck by Dr. Dorsey of the Field Columbian Museum, entitled Indians of the Southwest" The other day a request was received from Washington. D. C., for a copy of Engines of the Southwest est"-evidently from man who was of a practical turn of mind. Our brother in red has often been termed an "Injun," and we may thereby pos sibly explain the evolution from In dian" to engine"
 Talking about Indians: The Santa Fe decorates some of its city offices with displays of Indian handicraft. One of these exhibits was attacked by rats and partly destroyed. The agent, in reporting the fact, made a list of the injuries. Among the items appeared the following unique line. "One gods nose broken"
 Perhaps the queerest of them all is a letter received from a Minnesota man who had heard that the Santa Fe will give a free ride to the Worlds Fair and pay expenses for ten days to those presenting silver dollars Of the mintage of 1904. He asserts that sev- eral neighbors have already begun col lecting dollars bearing date of the year named. The Santa Fe will undoubt- edly make good if. Q passenger pre- sents enough of these dollars, but the man who expects a hundred dollar vacation for one dollar will get left, as usual

of the Fourth in the shape of detonat- ing implements and Eliminates, anG the movement in not so much in the way of decline of patriotism as it is in the line Of necessity for measures of safety. The number of deaths di- rectIy resulting from the nethoI in which the Fourth was celebrated last year exceeded 2,CJ0, while there were maimings and bindings and burns and scaldings innumerable, the deadly toy pistol, forbidden in the abstract, but used ir the concrete, furnishing the largest percentage of the casual ties.
 Undoubtedly something ought tc be done for public comfort and for public safety In the old days, when there were basket picnics and the whole town took to the woods to hear the biggest man in the community elc- quently crate of and concerning Val ley Forge and Yorktown there was little danger from the fireworks-oral or manufactured-and nobody was hurt. It is otherwise today. It is the country that comes to the town and aids n tke din and the noise, and the firing and the Illuminating. while tire oratorical fireworks have been lrle- gated to the lumber room. There is less patriotism and more danger in the fireworks of today, with insurance companies and fire departments on the ragged edge from midnight to mid night and for some hours afterwards. Chicago seems to have adopted the most novel method of dealing with the Fourth of July nuisance. According to the telegraph news, a local 5,muse- ment association in the Windy City fas announced that it will give free fire crackers and torpedoes in unlimited quantities provided the children TiD assemble in the public parks and ls'-- grounds and do their celebrating rn- der the surcrvision of a fireman, a physician a policeman and member Of the association.
 After the celebration in the parks and playgrounds the associ1ti-h w'l give a fire works display on the lake front, and a model of the United States steamship norothea will be blown I'D.
 The association is incorporated, and a crusade against dynamite bombs and crackers and against the roy p!stol is announced as among it's main objects All cases of accident or dea-h reported as resulting from the use If the SC for bidden explosives will be tr2cad back to the seller. He will be held rerson- ally responsibe and prosecutel.
 The movement is a reminder of the figures collected last year by the American Medical Association, slow ing that 4,449 deaths and injuries re- suited from the celebrations nf July Z 1863, in the country at large.
 There were 4O6 deaths due to lock

STAGE AND PLATFORM
Vests Big Jubilee Ministries.

Pure, clean amusement is
what the public wants, and the
greatest successes have been
built from those forms of theatri-
cal endeavor that the whole fami-
ly from grandsire to child can
witness without being confront
ed with something Objectionable
or in bad taste. In directing the
tours of William Fl. Vests Big
Jubilee MinstrelS, which will be
the strong attraction at the Ope-
ra House Friday night. Nov. 4th.
Sanford B. Ricaby has always
borne this in mind with the re
suit that the name OF the famous
organization is synonym for all
that is refined, healthful, and in
MIGRATING. It is the trade mark
of life time of endeavOr on the
part of Mr.. Ricaby, and is one
of the solid institutions of this
country. In no minstrel company
the world has ever known is so
much capital invested, and it is
the largest of it's kind travelling.
In William II. Vests Big Jubilee
Minstrels this season there are
IA of the sweetest voiced singers
alone. headed by the famous Geo.
L. Martin, the greatest array of
balladists ever gathered together
on one stage. The end men and
comedians are the biggest laugh
breeders that ever set an audi
ence into an uproar of merri-
ment, and they could completely
disorganize a solemn undertake
ers' convention. Costly European
novelties for. which Mr.. Ricaby
has secured the principal cities
of the continent will be found,
and the whole performance is
costumed without regard to ex-
pense, in the most gorgeous seen
ic setting, and with bizarre cleo
trical effects. The first part IN
cerise and gold is the most lavish
and beautiful ever witnessed in
minstrel entertainment, and is
the design of one of the famous
painters of the day. Manager
Ricaby has just added Cyclus,
the daredevil in the hair raising
cycle WhirL The comedy will be
well taken care of by such artists
as Tom Mack. Crawford and Man
ming, McDevitt and Kelley and
many others.

Baltimore Families Experience Points
a Moral to Residents of Columbds

The visitor to Baltimore today
scarcely realizes that less than
a year ago the city was almost
destroyed by a memorable fire. A
similar com parison might be
made by George W. Nally, one of
the leading citizens of Baltimore,
as to the change in his own looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally,
writing from his home address,
2213 Barclay ST., says I have
been trou bled for years with
catarrh and had resorted to all
remedies that could be thought
of. My wife was also afflicted
with this terrible disease, but all
the treatments we used were an
absolute failure until we tried
Hyomei It worked like a charm
and has made a com plete cure in
both of our cases. MAYO & WEA-
YER are the local agents for
Hymei, and have so much faith in
the treatment that they give their
personal guarantee to refund
the money in case it does not
benefit. A complete outfit costs
one dollar, the extra bottles are
but fifty cents. Ask to see the
strong guarantee under which
Hyomei is sold.
