Special Vegetable Cars.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway has made quite a study of spe-
cial cars for various commodities handled
among which are specially constructed
vegetable ears This is the only line
west of Chicago having this special
class of equipment. So popular have
these cars become that the above line
has found it necessary TO add from time
to time to this class Of equipment and
they now have about 500 in service.
These cars have a capacity of $4,000
lbs. a cubic foot capacity of -, 06l
cubic feet. they are constructed the
same as refrigerator cars with the cN-
ception that they have no ice tanks, no
trap doors, and no drip pipes, making
them as nearly frostproof as possible
in handling vegetables during the fall
and winter months, as they VIII protect
vegetables to ten degrees below zero.
They are very popular with potato and
cabbage shippers.

A FAMOUS MONSTER
An Old Time Wonder Thnt Had an
Eye Ia I,s Knee.


Eye II Is tSner.
In the writings OF both l.icetus and
Zahn may be found descriptions and
Illustrations Of Il monster Torn at Ra-
VIENNA, Italy, in The year l1il or 1872,
the exact date being somewhat uncer-
tain. This monster had body and
shoulders like those of young woman.
There was bat one leg. gradually ia
pering from the hips down and termi-
mating in an immense scaled claw, like
that of q turkey buHzard There were
four toes, each tipped with Il bOny nail,
three of them pointing to the left ana
one to the. right. The creature had
wings in place OF arms and always
held them in IN erect position, as
though ready 10 take flight at the
slightest provocation. From the hips
TO the single knee the flesh was COW
cred with large, we'll arranged feath-
ers. From the knee joint to the foot
the leg was scaled, like that Of the COM
mon harnyard fowl. the spot where the
feathers left Off and the scales COM
menced being marked With large lid
less eye, which seemed to be altogether
incapable Of voluntary motion. The
neck, heaS and general outlines of the
face were those Of a woman, but the
ears were large ana set very low. al
most on the neck.
The head was covered with queer
mixture OF scales, feathers and hair,
but the oddly OF the whole upper
story Was pointed horn which rose
Just in the edge of the hair on the cen
ter of the forehead This horn was
three inches in length, and according
to Zahn, even farmer would have
mistaken Il for the horn Of n two-year-
old heifer had it been removed and
shown to him"
The old time wonder mongers all give
pictures ana descriptions of this "horn.
ed Italian monster" but none tells how
long it lived or what was done with
the body after death.

The Changing yides

The most approved theory among sci
entistS rs to the cause Of the rise and
fall Of the tide IS that tie moon is the
dominating cause through its differen-
tlal attraction upon the opposite sides
of the earth, drawing the nearer water
away from the earth under the moon
for the production of high water large
and in like manner drawing the earth
away from the opposite waters for the
production of high water small The
smaller tidal effect Of the suns at
traction becomes noticeable mainly as
modifying the lamar tide, increasing it
in the spring tides and decreasing It at
heaps and further modifying it in the
Trimins and tagging Of the tides,

Death Warning,

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his

person who does not actually ask to
kno" that he cannot recover. AS that
loving observer of mankind asserted. So
must every one who knows whereof he
speaks assert That people qlmort nj
ways come 10 understand that recovery
Is impossible 10 is rarely needful TO
tell any one that this is the case. When
nature gives the warning death appears
to be as little feared as sleep.

Fay'S Circular.

Grant County Herald
A circular has been issued abusive of
Judge Clementson. THIS circular is
signed "P. II. Fay" Fay lives in
Richland Center, and the cause of his
animus is said to be because Of Judge
Ciementson's decision against him in
a case in which he was personally in
terested, and in which the jury was
waived.
1t is not worth while 70 notice the
personal attack upon Judge Clementson
made by the circular. Ignoring that,
the point Fay tries TO make against the
Judge is this, that since Jan. /, 1894,
when Judge Clementson went upon the
bench, until this time, there have been
28G appeals from this circuit to the SUI
preme court and that of these appeals
l76 cases were affirmed and 10 re-
verscd 10 attorneys these figures at a
glance make an excellent showing for
the Judge They known that sum total
of 255 appeals in % years from this cir
cult Of five counties is a small number
of appeals considering the number Of
cases determined, and they know that
of appealed cases the records of all SUI
preme courts show that about one-half
are reversed The criterion by which TO
measure a judges work, however, is
not how many Of the cases appealed
from his circuit are reversed, but how
do the cases reversed compare with the
total work of the judge. Attorneys
appeal only such cases as they believe
after careful investigation the Judge
has wrongly decided. If the appeals
taken are few compared with the total
appealable cases. that shows that in
the estimation of the attorneys the
great mass Of business done by the
Judge is done we'll
That Judge Clementson has not only
done well but very well let few figures
demonstrated There ere ten terms of
court year in this circuit. On the
average at least twenty judgments and
orders are entered at each term which
are appealable to the supreme court,
That would be two hundred year.
Judge Clementson has been on the
bench twenty three years and has
signed more than 1900 orders and judg-
ments from which appeals might be
taken, According to Fay only 2S6 APP
peals have been taken. This shows that
43l4 Of these judgments and orders
were considered bepond question. But
of Che eases appealed, according to
Fay $ figures, only 40 were reversed,
so that OF 1900 appealable cases We
have ALSO that stand as correct. This
gives as the result Of Judge Clement
sons work only one decision in over
forty reversed 1t shows that less than
one-half of one case for each term of
court he has held has been found TO be
erroneous. This is record Of which
any judge may be proud. 1t is this
work together with the energy with
which Judge Clementson pushed the
work of his terms in the interest of the
tax payers that has given him his high
standing as a judge in the state.
