he received a more deafening response
from the huge steam whistle. The
disgusted conductor now turned to-

forth such a roar from the drums and
brasses that if there was any further
demonstration on the part of the
steamboat it was not heard in the
music hall.

Change Their Nature.
1t is common belief that the germs

eradicate an infectious malady, it
would stay eradicated. 1t now seems
very probable that this is untrue. Ac-
cordlng to a view held wholly or par
TALLY by many pathologists, and
strongly upheld by Prof. Bodin, dis
ease germs are only accidentally yiru-
lent, their normal existence being
what is called "saprophytic," that is,
Independent of any other organism
When one of these harmless varieties
changes its nature so as to become
parasitic, we have new disease. OBJ
seryation has shown that many kinds
of bacteria are very unstable and are
constantly forming new varieties. 1t
is possible, therefore, that potential
germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or con-
sumption may be growing harmlessly

Don't Know What He's Talking About.

The editor of an Iowa exchange
states that the greatest surprise to a
girl when kissed the first time is
that there is no taste to it. That
man don't know what he's talking
about, and he must have a chronic
case of dyspepsia. No taste to it?
Well, by the feathers on Cupid's
dart, but the Times man must be
color blind in palate. They tell us,
those who have tried it, that it
tastes like the double distilled es-
sence of honey spread thick on a
piece OF pumpkin pie. Away back
in the dim and joyful years long
ago before we lost all our teeth and
our cinch on the beauty prize the
prettiest girl in all the world told
us with her own eyes that it felt
like covey OF quails flying out of
each ear and ended up with a sensa-
ton like a flock of angels pouring
molasses down ones back. No
taste to the first kiss? Gee Scott!
1t would make wooden Indians
hair dance and his toe nails culver
with ecstacy.

regard to our incoming alderman in

ton in last weeks Teller from a voter
in the fourth ward telling us how to
vote. We have also had several speech
makers from the first, third and fourth
wards who were very much interested
in our welfare and who told us our
duties as citizens. They get no pay
from us, and how they can afford to
lose so much valuable time we can't
imagine. have nothing to say con-
corning either one of our candidates
only that both are good men.
We think, however. we know our
own business, and when election day
comes the majority of us will know
how to vote and vote intelligently
without their advice.

Ooituary-Moore.

Lucretia Atkinson Moore, wife of
George G. Moore, was born at Bee
town, Wisconsin, February IL, 1866,
and married George G.. Moore October
81, 1885. She died at Millville, March
II, 1905, and is survived by her hus-
band, mother and nine children. In
early life Mrs. Moore joined the Unit
ed Brethren church and died in that
faith. She was true Christian wom-
an, dutiful wife and loving mother.
She was good neighbor, whom none
knew but to love and respect. The re-
spect in which she and her husband
and family were held was shown by
the substantial contributions of the
Bloomington friends, of whom they
have host.
George G. Moore and family take
this method of thanking their neigh
bors and friends for their many acts
of kindness during their late trouble
and affection.

Justice Wheeler conducted the
inquest at his Office Saturday morn
ing and a jury composed of Messrs.
Geo. M. Gunderson, Harry Abrams,
Frank Place, G. H. Basford, G. w.
Ray and w. FL. Rose listened to the
testimony of the trainmen and 9th
ers. Those examined were Engine
man Miller, Conductor Phinney,
Brakeman Robinson, Operator Koch,
Baggageman Brinkman, Willie
Moran and Byron Long. The ques-
ton was put to the railroad en-
ployes as to whether or not it was
against the rules to make the oft
times fatal flying switches, but all
testified that while they were not
given permission by the powers
that be to do so, that there we're no
restrictions against such acts. Atty.
HI. w. Brownacted for Dist. Atty.
Kopp in the matter.
After learning all the details the
jury retired and after due delibera-
ton rendered a verdict "that de-
ceased came to his death accidental
ly while engaged in making a fly
ing switch"
The funeral Of the young man
was held at st. Patrlck's church at
Madison Monday at $50 a. NJ, and
was in charge of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, of which
order deceased was an honored
member. Floral offerings were
many and beautiful and it was with
extreme sorrow that friends and
associates paid their last adieu to
him they had known and held in
such high esteem in life.
Bernard Carr was born near the
station of Riley, Dane county, and
was about thirty-fve years of age.
He had been faithful employee of
the Northwestern road in capacity
of brakeman for period of twelve
or thirteen years and was next in
rank for promotion to conductor.
During nearly all this time he has
been on this division of the road,
and had a host of friends and adj
mirers all along the road. Genial,
kind, obliging and attentive to his
duties his CHEEKY countenance will
be greatly missed.
He resided, in a comfortable home
at 1876 South Hancock street, Madi-
son, and was the main support Of
three sisters, Misses Agnes, Elizabeth
and Mary T. Carr. Ever self-sacrific-
ing in their behalf and always
holding their welfare at heart it is
not to be wondered at that their
cup of anguish now seems overflow
ing.
A brother, Anthony, is a stenog-
rapher at Madison. The mother
died years ago and nothing is known
of the father.
Friends in Lancaster extend to
the afflicted family sympathy to an
unusual degree IN this time of
sorrow.

Mr.. Miner seems to favor the

ventures is inspired by the idea Of
development, as for example the
irrigation project. He would make

rejoicing at the crowning achieve
