tended merely to subserve personal
ends. This, he says. was the generally

cans.
HolZheimer said he believed the peo-
pie of Idaho would favor a national
constitutional amendment prohibiting
polygamy in all the states.

has been regarded as a peculiar phe-
nomenon of nature was explained to-

Alder lake.
Tom Miller early this morning
noticed that thin coating of ice had
formed during the night. While look
ing at it he was astonished to see a
big muskalonge start from the cas-;
shore and acting for all the world like
tug bucking heavy ice, break it's way
to the other shore. Reaching that the
big fish. which, according to Miller.
must have weighed seventy-five
pounds, started back, trimming UP the
rough edges of the channel.
Mr.. Miller says it was the most re-
markable sight he ever witnessed.

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, 1t
was decided, beginning with the regu-
lar summer change Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed Of the
twentieth Century Limited" so as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead Of
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago In twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
Of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1893, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance,
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time,
and for three years and 1870 days hav-
ing held the worlds record for a
thousand mile train In twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. m, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York,
at $50 next morning, and returning
will leave New York $3.50 p. m, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in % hours in
stead Of "a, leaving Chicago $50 p.
m, by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 p M, by the New
York Central.
The Southwestern Limited" train,
No. II, which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at l p. m will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2:04 p. M, saving
an hour to an houl and half on the
present journey to st. Louis and Gin
cinnati."

DTS ALI Dead.V

A physician recently related an incl
dent which had come under his OBJ
servation showing the aversion a GER
tain little fellow of 4 entertained for
dead chickens. On being seated at a
table upon which was an uncarved
chicken, he cried out in evident dis
tress, "It's all dead, mamma! | must
have hurted it," and he could scarcely
be persuaded to remain at the table
until the dead creature was carved
past recognition.
Children are naturally tender and
sympathetic, not only toward each
other but also solicitous for the wei.
fare of the lower animals. The parents
of this child will probably congratulate
themselves VIXEN his tender nature be-
comes so calloused that the sight Of a
dead animal being devoured will seem
to him entirely consistent, and will no
longer excite his pity.
Many of the boys in the stock yard
districts Of our large cities are further

they consider it rare amusement to
torment the live stock before they are
unloaded from the stock cars. One
method is to poke them with red-hot
irons until the animals give vent to
the most piteous outcries.
The barbarous custom of college
hazing is another manifestation of
this same spirit of cruelty which,
when implanted early enough in the
child,s mind and then carefully fos-
tered and cultivated, will invariably
in due time produce a bountiful har-
vest of undesirable fruits in various
shocking manifestations of human
cruelty.
