The elevation or, as railroad engineers
call it. the super-elevation of the out
side rail on curves is more important
and demands more careful thought and
attention than the maintenance-of-wa
engineer, the roadmaster. and the Sec
tion boss are in the habit of giving to it.
The danger of derailment due to the
centrifugal force exerted by train
against the outer rail on curves may be
greatly reduced by eleyating the outer
above the inner rail. Indeed, there is a
degree Of super-elevation corresponding
to given rate of speed which will
theoretically relieve the outer rail of
any side thrust, and cause the engine
and cars to travel round the curve
without any tendency to bear more
heavily upon one rail than the other.
IF all trains were run at the same speed
over given track, it would be possible
to put in this theoretical amount of
super elevation. As matter Of fact
some trains would run slower than
those for which the track was adjusted,
and the slower trains wonld bear heavi-
ly against the inner rail- 1t 10 for this
reason that engineers are in the habit
of adopting compromise super-eleva-
tion, too low for the fast train and too
high for the slow train.

THE mining of nickel ore in America
has its centre in the vicinity of Sud
bury, Ontario. where the annual out
put has increased very rapidly within
the last two or three years, owing to
the extensive development of the de-
posits. While the existence of the ore
has been known for over fifty years,
only recently has this resource been ex-
plotted on an extensive scale. The
animal product at present aggregates
about 5000 tons. Up to the present
time, however, not over 30, 900 tons have
been taken from the mines, which gives
an idea of the small quantity of this
metal produced in comparison with
iron. conner. and tin.

An Editors Dog.

The editor of the Sumner Star
gives the following graphic de-
scription of his dog:
'Any person wanting a watch
dog that will attend strictly to
business can be accommodated by
calling at the EDITORS domiclle at
the corner of First and Elm, in
this city. He is warranted to
have a good appetite and to keep
everybody awake within three
blocks with his unearthly howl
ing of nights. If you want him
you will do we'll to call before
some of the neighbors kill him."
The COURIER is inclined to be-
lieve that the canine of the Star
man is afflicted with fleas and is
hungry. We don't know where
the dog got the fleas, but the
hunger was contracted by in
innate association with an
editor. All editors are built that
way.

Crap Shooter Shot.

Orea Banks, a bad coon of
Dalton, lies wounded as the re.
suit of pistol shot during a
crap game which occurred in the
woods just north of Dalton at 2
O'Clock Sunday morning. The
shooting was done by Dan Rob.
inson, another negro, the ball
passing into Banks abdom en-
and the wound is serious, if not
fatal. Robinson has left for
parts unknown and no clue to
his whereabouts is obtainable.
The general opinion is that
Robinson would be cleared if
brought to trial on account of the
bad record of Banks who has
shot two or three negroes in his
career. 1t is reported that
Robinson was one of his victims
having been shot in the mouth
by Banks some time ago.
On Sunday DR.. B. Hughes of
Keytesville, DR.. Kirkpatrick
Dalton and DR.. Zillman of Indian
Grove made an examin alton of
the patient and cut into and
and cleaned out the laparotamy
cavity and sewed him up. In
conversation with DR.. Hughes,
he stated that Banks had a fair
chance to recovery.

Both Hands Manaled.

Tuesday while John Ewing
who lives about a mile and half
southwest of town was putting
hay into the loft with a patent
hay fork, his little 7-year. old
daughter, Catherine, caught hold
of a rope near pulley, which
pulled both of her hands against
the pulley and cutting and mang-
ling her fingers in a horrible
manner. AS her fingers came in
contact with the pulley she
screamed and her father, who
was driving the horse which was
used in hoisting the hay to the
loft, stopped and backed up
otherwise the little girls fingers
and perhaps her hands would
have been entirely cut off.
DR.. Aldridge was summoned
and called into consultation DR..
Perkins and upon examination it
was found that all the flesh had
been torn off the third finger of
her left hand and the first and
second fingers were denuded of
skin. On the right hand, the
second finger was badly lascerat-
ed. Numerous stitches were
necessary to fix the hands right.
Latest report say that little
Catherine is getting along nicely
and unless other complications
set in she will soon be alright
again.
