Some of the most wonderful finds in

ore from the lease on the Kendall
claim which was worth $1,000 per sack.

Management Guard Against a
Repetition of BROOKLYN Bridge
Panic-Great Preparations
for Notable Event.

New York. Oct. 1S.--In order to avert
repetition of the fatal panic which at
tended the opening of the Brooklyn
bridge. it has been decided to open
the rapid transit subway at midnight
OF October %, instead of beginning its
operation at buster hour of the day,
In completing the final arrangements
for the formal turning over of the road
to the city and the further delivery
Of it to the operating company this
was found to be the best way out of
a possible danger in the public crush.
The ceremonies will be held at l
O'clock in the afternoon in the alder
manic chamber. Invitations will be
sent to the president of the United
States, members of congress, the gov
ernor, the legislature. the heads of all
municipal departments judges Of
courts and heads of religious denom-
nations of the city, presidents of the
colleges, presidents of the business as
sociations, foreign consuls and the
presidents of all railroad companies
having to do with the rapid transit.
The company win send invitations
broadcast to the city departments and
others which viii be good for a free
ride on the afternoon of the 27th. and
up to midnight. In that way it is |
hoped the employees will get some idea
OF how to handle the considerable
crowd without having rush to con-
tend with at the outset. The trains
the next day will run on schedule
time.

that steam that 1t can lift such
weight"
There was.
Millions prior Ro him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put its
dnger on the cause Of Dandruff, Fall

has unearthed tiny germ which eats
the life from the roots of human hair.
Newbro's Herpicide destroys this

Chicago, Oct 1S.-Eggs are likely
to be cheaper this winter than for
some years. Since Armour's Swift's
and other western packing houses
have been storing eggs during the
summer for winter sale, egg dealers
have had to go to them for eggs.
The packers have been shipping eggs
as meat, getting lower freight rate
by half, and the railroads have been
winking at the discrimination.

The night dad got back from the hospital, where he went to grow some new bones and things on his inc sides, after he rode the bucking bron- cho, a man gave me the prettiest little animal you ever saw, sort of white and black. about the size of a cat, and I tack 1t to the room. and put it under the Aed, in a box the man gave me. Dad had gone to bed, and was snoring so you could cut it with a knife.
 Say, you knew that animal was skunk all the time. now tell me, didn't your said the old groceryman. You was a fool to take 1t, when you knew what a skunk will do."
 Yes. thought 1t was a skunk all right" said the boy. but the man told me the animal had been vaccinated and wouldn't eter make any trouble for anyone. and he 'would warrant it. thought a warranted skunk was all right, and so I went to bed in a cot next to dads bed. I guess 1t was about daylight. when skunks want to suck eggs, that he began to scratch the box and squeak, and I was afraid it would wake dad up, so I reached down and took the cover off the box. From that very identical moment the trouble be- gan. Dad heard something in the room and he rose up in bed, and the animal sat on the foot of the bed and looked at dad. Dad said: Seat" and threw a pillow at my pet. and then all was chaos. I never smelled chaos but I know when I smell 1t. O, o, but you'd dide to see dad. He turned blue and green and said: Hennery, some one has opened a jack pot. call for the po- lice I rushed for the indicator. swhere you ring for bell boys and cocktails and things, and touched all tho buttons and then got to bed and pulled quilt over my head, and dad went into a closet, where my snakes and things were, and the vaccinated skunk kept on doing the same as he did to dad. and thought I should die.
