However, before the arrival of DR.. G.
w. Newell and Dr. F. w. Bowles, the
physicians who had been Immediately
summoned, Mr.. Wachtler had lost con-
seriousness and all efforts to restore
him were futile. The rash act is sup.

A DIMlNuTIvE CHECK.
j. o. sprague Receives 1 Cont From
Burlington.

From Wednesdays Daily.
]. o. Sprague, engineer on the Ft.
Madison freight train, received, not so
very long ago, a pay check, which If
not the smallest ever issued by the
Burlington road, at least has the dis
tinction of being as small as any ever
issued.
During recent month Mr.. Sprague
did little work on the Ottumwa di.
vision and Of course his check for this
work was separate from that received
for his regular run on the Ft. Madison
line, which is on the Burlington divis-
ion. When his contribution to the
Burlington Relief fund had been made,
there was left a balance due him of
one cent. For this amount he re-
ceiveded check which is said to be
the smallest over issued at the local
office, though occasionally checks are
issued as small as 10 or Is cents.

ONO TURNS OUT NEW PRODIGY


Gallipolis. o.. Oct. l0-The pump
katoor. or the tomakin. whichever il
may be called, is the latest addition
to the flora of Ohio. 1t Is the inven-
ton of Edward Womeldorff. young
farmer. Late in the season he set out
some climbing tomato plants close to
a telephone pole. Near by were
pumpkin vines. One of the tomato
plants and one of the pumpkin vines
amalgamated and the product OF the
confluence climbed the telegraph
pole. The joint vine prolonged itself
over the wires and the current Of
electricity pervaded it. Vegetables
developed in the course of time, but
while each retained its outward
form, each borrowed the character
istlcs of The other. The tomato tast-
ed exactly like pumpkin and the
pumpkin had the tomato flavor. The
INTRODUCTION of the electric current
from the telephone wires produced
curious result. At night The pump
kins glow with yellow incandes-
cence, while the tomatoes are of a
passionate red shade. The illumina.
tion is soft, but penetrating. Wom-
eldorff says this is a good feature,
because the vine has plenty of light
to work all night. and so grows
twice as fast.
