To Attack Pullman Charges,

One of the first moves planned by
the State railway commission is an at
tempt to regulate the charges on Pull
man cars in Wisconsin Complaint has
been made to the commission that the
charges are unfair, and it is said that
this will be made the case to test the
validity of the rate measure The Pull
man company, it is believed, will set up
the claim that it does only an interstate
business, and that as it has no offices
III Wisconsin, the commission has no au-
thority over it. Hence the company will
pay no attention to the notices sent by
order of the commission, and it will be
up to the commission TO enforce its man
dates

A DOCTORS DREAM.

a EVERAL years ago I resided In
~ wild, mountainous and rather
- lonely region Of Virginia. Thera
was 4 railroad but a few rods in front
of my door and a station and consider
able village about mile to the west.
The nearest station to the east was
about ten miles distant. / moved to
the place with my young wife late in
the autumn, and about the first of the
following March 1 was attacked with
typhoid fever and was i'll for about
month. But thanks to a naturally
strong constitution, and the careful
nursing of loving and intelligent
wife, | slowly recovered.
AS soon as 1 got strong enough 70
sit up and walk a little told my wife
she had better take the cars and go
and visit her brother, who lived about
fifty miles east Of us. She had been
taking care of me so faithfully through
my illness both by day and night, that
feared her health and strength would
fail her If she did not rest while. l
knew she had been very anxious to
60, and | felt sure that her brother
and his family would be very glad to
see her, and would try to make her
visit a pleasant one
She hesitated about leaving me,
fearing l might need her care; but
after waiting a few Gays, and seeing
that | continued to gain my health and
strength, she decided to follow my adj
vice. Accordingly, one pleasant morn
ing about the middle of April, after
doing everything she could for my
comfort and bidding me to be careful
about taking cold or walking too far,

to my excited imagination, it seemed
to me that the bridge bent and shook
beneath the weight of the train in IL
manner highly suggestive of danger.
At all events, 1 resolved to wait a
while longer and see if the stream,
which was still rising, would have any
apparent effect upon the bridge. took
with me a lantern and also thick
blanket to protect me from the damp
night air
Shortly after sunset, as / was sitting
few rods from the stream, l heard
a loud splash, and hurrying to the
bridge l saw that n portion of the
bank on the opposite side had broken
away, and also that the action of the
water, or some other cause, had weak
ened the foundations of the bridge IN
such a manner that a portion Of the
line was bent and lowered enough "a
make it impossible for train to cross.
1 Immediately crossed the bridge, re-
solved to stop the train, If possible,
before it reached the bridge and GER
tain destruction.
| went on in the direction from
which the train was to come, and soon
found a good place which commanded
n view Of the line FOR a considerable
distance. 1 lit my lantern, wrapped
my blanket closely around me, and sat
down to my wearisOme watch of two
hours. The night was clear, but not
very dark, though no moon was shin
ing. l suffered nothing from cold, as
l was remarkably warm, even for the
climate of Virginia, and l succeeded
in keeping awake, though the task was
a difficult one.
Slowly the moments passed by, but
at last I saw by my watch that the
time had nearly expired, and a few
moments would decide the fate Of the
train and its human freight. Soon
saw a light, far away and very small
at first, but rapidly growing larger and
brighter l arose, trembling with eX-
element, and commenced swinging
the lantern above my head, and as the
train drew near l doubled my eXertion
and shouted as loud as l could.
Onward came the train at a rapid
speed.
1t was a time of terrible suspense
to me. Should the engineer fail to see
my signal, or not see it in time to stop
the train before going a few rods past
me, I knew that no human power
could save it. On it came, and, just
as l gave up my exertions and stepped
from the line, my frantic signals were
observed, arousing the sleepy brake
men like an electric shock, who flew
to their stations.
The train was quickly stopped, and
then informed the engineer and con
ductor of the danger ahead, while the
frightened passengers left the car
riages and gathered around me. Many
a brave man grew pale when he
learned what a fearful death he had
so narrowly escaped.
Among the passengers I found my
wife, not mangled and lifeless, but
alive and well, though somewhat
frightened and a good deal surprised
at seeing me. The conductor gave me
a seat next my wife and then had the
train backed TO the station it had just
left, from which kilograms were sent
to warn all other trains of the danger
In the morning my wife and I took
the stage for hOme-PittSburg Press.

Give sheep Plenty of Water.

In dry times do not fail to give the
sheep plenty of water writes Ida NJ
Shepler She says: Perhaps there is
no domestic animal known. unless it
may be the camel that will go so long
without water as sheep. and when
they do drink it is sparingly. But this
is no reason why one should neglect
sheep, especially If running on dry
pasture or fed dry feeds. And to let
cattle into stock pasture with INSULT
cient water at hand is simply ruinous
to their health if not decidedly dan
gerous. What is commonly known as
the mad itch is c.0sed by nothing
more than dry feed: corn blades and
stalks eaten without sufficient water
to soften and break them up. being the
most common means of bringing it
about. Cattle consume great quaint
ties of water if allowed free access TO

Invention OF Shot.

Watts. the inventor OF leaden shot,
once fell into q drunken sleep and
dreamt that it was raining molten
lead, which in falling took the shape
of millions of peas.
When he awoke he determined TO
try the effect of dropping molten lead
from a considerable height. in accord
ance with the conditions of his dream.
The result was an exact fulfllment
of what he had pictured in his sleep,
and his experiments were the founda-
ton upon which he was able to build
up n substantial fortune.
The highest shot tower is at yillaeh,
in Carinthia, where there is fall of
249 feet After cooling, shot is sifted
to separate the sizes, and polished BY
rotary motion in small octagonal
boxes
At least it may be said to the credit
of men that they never sue women
for breach of promise.

Holds New Tax Law Valid.

Judge S. ID. Hastings of Green Bay
in suit brought by the various rail
roads of the State seeking to set aside
ad valorem tax assessments on the
ground that the law violated the princi-
pie of equal taxation, ruled that the
law is constitutional and the assessments
valid. 1t is estimated that the decision
will increase by 100000 railroad taxes
for the year 1903 still greater sum for
1904, and at least a million more for
1903, compared with the amount assess
ed under the license fee system. The
case will be appealed.

Rev. Carlos n. Hanks Given Urgent
Call by congreeatlonaiists or
that Civ

After calling together his trustees and
the members of the prudential commit
tee Sunday, Rev. Carlos RI. Hanks,
pastor of the Congregational church in
this city, announced that he had
under advisement very urgent call
from Calumet. The announcement
came as great surprise to all of Mr..
Hanks Owosso friends. No decision
has as yet been reached by him regard
ing the acceptance of the call.
Mr.. Hanks acquaintance with the
people of Calumet began through the
state military circles. He is chaplain
of the third regiment of which Com
pany H of this city is part. Through
these associations Mr.. Hanks became
acquainted with the officers and men of
the Calumet company and as result
of these acQuaintanceships he was in
vited to make the Memorial Day ad-
dress in Calumet this year. During
his visit to that city he also occupied
the pulpit of the Congregational church.
The call which he has just received is
one of the results of the good impress
sion he made during that visit as well
as during his service at the state en-
campments.
It is reported that both from the
stand point of salary and opportunity
the field at Calumet has strong at
fractions for a man Of Mr.. Hanks
ability and energy. At the same time
Mr. Hanks has assured his friends here
that no increase in salary however in
viting will enter into the determination
of acceptance in the slightest degree,
and to make this point even more en-
phatic he announced that he will not
accept an increase in salary here this
year even if he decides to stay whether
this increase is offered him either before
or after his decision. He is determin-
ed that the question shall be decided
solely ION the ground of possibilities
for greater usefulness. There are
many friends who hope that the claims
of the Owosso field upon Mr.. Hanks
will prove strong enough to hold him
here for long time to come. At the
same time they realize that he alone
can decide where it is his duty to work.
The Owosso church was never before in
as good condition as today and officers
and members alike feel that it cannot
yet spare him without too great cost.
Outside of the church, too, Mr.. Hanks
numbers many friends among business,
fraternal, and military men, who sim
cerely hope that he will decide to re-
main in this city. At the same time,
without exception, they congratulate
him on the compliment to his work and
ability which the call brings to him
whether he accepts it or not.
