Shocking Accident.

Poor Henry Bastein will go through
life minus his good right hand as the re-
suit of holding onto giant fire cracker
until it exploded. The accident took
place on Hill avenue near H. l.. Haus-
samen's store. The cracker was one of
the largest of the kind which he was
holding, thinking the spark had gone
out. Just before it exploded he held it
near his. face ana had it gone off the
force OF the explosion would undoubted-
~ nave killed him. AS it was, his hand
was shattered into shreds, the fingers
were torn off and the arm injured to the
shoulder. lie was taken to the Deacon
ess hospital and the injured member was
amputated just above the wrist. So in
tense was his suffering that it was with
difficulty that he was kept in bed after
he came out from under the
effect Of chloroform. Basteim, better
known as Shorty" was an industrious
worker. He was employed as shoe
sinner at Jim Foley's barber shop, and
his work was always done we'll and his
accommodating disposition made him
many friends. His only relatives live at
Indian Head, Alberta. The accident,
which befell this young man, may serve
as lesson to others, but this won't
grow new hand for Henry. He was do

REBEL AGAINST THE WORDING.
Don't Believe in "Obeying" Puny
Thing Like a Man.

ALTO PASS, ILL.,, April 12.-Many OF
the young women of Alto Pass do not
approve of the word "obey" in marri-
age ceremonies, and they have begun
secret campaign to have it eliminated
by the local ministers.
One of the Alto Pass clergymen
who is more often called upon to tie
nuptial knots than any other pastor
in the town, has received more than
score of letters asking him to drop
the offensive word.
The letters are believed to have been
written by some of the best known
young women in the place. Their fail
ure to attach their names to their let
tiers protesting against the usage of
the word is attributed to their unwill-
ingness that eligible young men of
the town should know their opposition
to ''obeying."

FINDS NEW HUMAN ORGAN
Professor Says Lump in Throat Is An.
tipathy to Sour Food.

CHICAGO, April IA wonderful
J. T. Wilson of the University of Chi
cagO. 1t is a new organ of taste, and
the noted pedagogue calls it the
taste bud" 1t is found in the 1arynx
and all over the coating of the passage
through the neck. Experiments have
proved that it is just below the surfec
of the lining. 1t is bud shaped.
Just what individual function the
new organ has, Professor Wilson does
not know. He declares that it repels
drinks and foods having a sour taste,
and welsomes those having a sfeet
taste. Anything sour or ill-tasting
that goes down the throat makes the
taste bud" contract. This is common
ly known as lump in the throat
Strong drinks and strong food the
professor declares, are not welcomed
by the taste bud" When a girl eats
sour pickle the new organ dislikes it
very much. But when a girl eatns a
bonbon, it's all right.
1t is the same way with man, adds
the discoverer. When a man drinks
something sweet, for instance, an ice
cream soda, it is all right, but when a
man drinks something sour, for in
stance, a saszaric cocktail, then it re-
bells. Under such treatment the taste
bud" swells up, but never bursts into
blossom.
Scientists consider Professor Will
sons discovery of the new organ of
wonderful value to mankind.

THUMB MARK ON CHECK.
This Method Is an InfaIIibIe Proven
tive Of Forgery

PLAINFIELD, N. j., April 12.-One
of the best schemes adopted by bus
mess man to protect his check from
forgery is one peculiar to A. M. Crit
fen, local merchant.
Every check that Mr.. Griffen writes
he signs in the usual business way,
but, in addition, he moistens mis- right
thumb with red ink and presses it
down upon the figures in the corner
of the check. This covers the figures
with a light coating of ink, which
leaves the imprint of the lines Of the
thumb clearly outlined, and no figures
can be raised without the fact being
apparent.
1t is we'll known That no two
thumbs in the world will leave the
same imprint, thus Mr.. Griffen's mark
is all his own. In the local banks no
check of his would be honored with
out his mark and the risk of using the
wrong tint of ink or of making a fall
ure in trying to initiate the thumb
mark has deferred any one from at
tempting to forge his signature.

SMITH PASSES LIE IN THE COUNCIL
Branded as False Story that He Was Financially Interested
in Moving RedIight District to Another Section

81 have been informed that certain
member of this council has stated that
1 was financially interested in the
passage of an ordinance requiring the
removal of houses of ill-fame from
their present quarters. I wish to say
here and now that it is damnable
lie. If the councilman is willing to
acknowledge that he was mistaken
1 am ready to receive an apology. If
he is not, say he is liar. 1 was
not financially interested in securing
the removal of the red light district.
Neither was any of my associates. 1t
is a lie from start to finish and the
man who made it is a liar
If a bomb had been dumped in the
council chambers last night it would
not have caused a bigger sensation
than did the remarks Of Councilman
Smith, made at the close of an other
wise peaceful session. A look Of blank
establishment overspread the features
of the other four councilmen present.
A chilly silence pervaded the council
chambers until Kirkman, to relieve the
suspense, made a motion to adjourn.
No one seemed inclined to offer Coun-
Gilman Smith an apology, and the
meeting was hastily brought to a close.

Bridges, two prominent business men

to secure an ordinance requiring ali
houses of ill-fame to be moved from
their present quarters. The council

A New Sidewalk Ordinances.
A new sidewalk ordinance similar

the council a week ago was introduce
ed and passed it's second reading. The
| new ordinance will require that all
the sidewalks abutting and adjacen,
to the present paved district be
brought to the established grade with
in 80 days. All wooden sidewalks
within the district are condemned and
ordered replaced with stone, concrete
or cement walks extending from the
property line to the established curb.
A time limit of 80 days is placed. The
walks affected by the ordinance must
conform to the legal and established
grade, having a slope up from the top
of the curb to the property line of not
less than one-quarter of an inch and
not to exceed one-ha1f an inch to the
foot and slope lengthwise of the
curb not to exceed one-quarter of an
inch to the foot. All sidewalks within

are condemned.

ginger, but that, from the reports that
he has received from his informants,
he would not be surprised to find that
the stuff is made of chemical junk,

JAPANESE TO DIG CANAL
All Shonts Is Waiting for Is Authority
for Ten Hour Day

WASHINGTON, April 12.-As soon
as Attorney General Moody can find
authority for holding that the law linn
iting work upon government improve
ments to eight hours day does not
apply to the construction of the 18TH
milan canal, the new canal commission
will make a contract with a Japanese
lamor contractor providing for furnish
ing 1000 Japanese laborers to work on
the canal. The contract is drawn up
and ready for the signatures. The de-
lay is on account of Mr.. Moody's hard
work in showing that the eightnour
law does not apply to the canal zone.
Secretary Taft long ago decided for
himself that the contract labor law
does not apply to the zone, because the
zone was acquired long after the con-
tract labor law went into effect, and
by it's terms the law applies only to
States.
The Japanese laborers are to work
ten hours a day and receive $3.50. They
are to do the work for which white men
cannot be had. The laws of Panama
exclude Chinese labor, hence the only
Orientals that can be taken there tc
do the shoveling are the Japanese
West Indian laborers already in the
| zone will be hired, if they show them
selves efficient, but at present the dis
position is to depend entirely upon ia
pan for the labor that will dig tne
| canal.
| The contractor who is to furnish la
borers will have to give bond for tint
| care of the laborers to the Japanese
government, as they will all be mem
bers of the Japanese army reserve no
likely to be called into the field IL
Manchuria. The contractor will have
full control over them to enforce san
itary regulations, for which reason
| they will be particularly desirable fol
that unsanitary place. Americans ant
West Indians cannot be controlled 81
vigorously, hence the number employed
will be as small as possible.
