The First Electric Train.

The earliest public trial OF a passen-
ger boat driven by an electric motor
was that conducted by Professor ia
cobb Of st. Petersburg in the year 1898,
though for four years previously he
had successfully experimental with
electric traction In the privacy of his
own grounds. The trial of Jacobs
vessel took place on the Neva and was
witnessed by vast crowd of people.
The boat was twcnty-eiCht feet long
and ten feet wide and carried fourteen
persons.
II was not until -four years later that
we find any record OF a passenger car
riage driven by electricity on Land. and
In this case The inventor was A,exan-
der Davidson OF Edinburgh. The car
riase was sixteen feet long by seven
feet wide and WAS impellcd for mile
and half at the rate of four miles an
hour on the Edinburgh and Glasgow
railway.

The use Of salt as necessary sup
plcmcnt to diet has had much influence
In shaping the civilization and eXplora-
ton Of the world. 1t is most probable
that the oldest trade routes were ere
atcd for the salt traffic, as salt and
incense f1Sncd tie chief neccssaries
Of The ancient days This was certain
ly the case with the caravan routes in
Libya and the Sahara, while the mines
Of north India were the center OF n
large trade before the time Of Alcxan-
der
Another interesting fact Is that salt
has played considerable part I'm the
distribution OF man. When it became
absolutely necessary to him, rs II did
at an carly stage of his development,
he was forced TO migrate TO places
where it could be obtained. This
brought him 90 tire scashOre, where he
gained his ideas Of maritime commerce.
Lastly. the preservative effects of salt
on flesh food made long oceanic voy-
ages possible and thus opened up the
world TO commerce and civilization.

Many of the devices by which mill
tary Indifference TO life has been ma
tured and sustained are curious. In
ancient Athens the public temples
were CLOSED to those who refused mill
tary service, who deserted their ranks
or lost their bucl,lcrs, while n law con
strained such offenders to sit for three
days I'm the public forum dressed in
the garments Of women. Many Il Spar
tan mother would stab her son who
came back alive from a defeat, and
such a man. if he escaped his mother,
was debarred not only from public Of
fees, but from marriage, exposed to the
blows Of all who chose TO strike him,
compelled TO dress in mean clothing
and TO wear his beard negligently
trimmed. In the same way n horse
soldier who fled or lost his shield or re-
ceived a wound i'm any save the front
part of the body was by law prevented
from ever afterward appearing in pub
lie.

Among the gypsles Of Bosnia there
is curious game called "the game of
the sheep"
You know they skin sheep or goat
in the cast by dragging the skin Off
whole over its head. This skin the
Bosnians drip and grease most care
fully, Then they tie up the four legs
and the neck and blow 1t full Of air, so
that 1t looks like very greasy, badly
shaped sheep. This is thrown in the
middle Of ring, aud each man in turn
Jumps on II with bare feet until one
succeeds In bursting It, The lucky one
then gets purse. Such a funny sight
as it is to see them jump and sprawl,
for Of course If they do not strike 1t at

greasy surface as ii it We're toboggan

BUSINESS is
PROSPEROUS
SIGNS POINT TO GREAT RESULTS
IN INDIAN TERRITORY.
Growth is Fhenominal-Great Devel-
opment Of Resources Expected by
Business Men During the Year.
Statehood viii open Doors.

Muskogee, l. r., Jan. 3.-Business
conditions in Indian Territory at the
beginning of the new year are in n
most excellent condition and unless
It is the most prosperous year in the
history of the Indian country bankers
and business men will miss their es-
Inmates now made. There is a general
feeling that 1906 is going to be the
greatest year of development that the
territory has ever witnessed. This is
partly superintended by good business
during the past year and partly by the
changed conditions which this year is
sure to bring and which will materially
accelerate the settlement and devel-
opment Of the virgin soil Of the FIVE
tribes.
There were more banks established
and fewer failures in Indian Territory
last year than in any of the states.
There were very few failures in NOR
camille lines or other lines Of legiti-
mate trade. There was 20 per cent
more land brought under cultivation
last year than ever before and this
land promises big crops this year. in
addition to which there will probably
be 2 per cent more new land brought
under cultivation this year than is now
in cultivation. This is because white
farmers have been gradually coming
into the territory. The towns of Indian
Territory are already far in advance
of the country and yet they are still
growing rapidly. It is therefore to
the rapid settling up Of the farm lands
that the business man must look
Indications are that a statehood bill
will pass at this session of congress.
II It does It will open the doors of
one Of the richest sections Of the
United States TO outside people and
outside capital and invite entrance,
and there is plenty Of capital and lots
of people ready and waiting TO come
In. In the event of failure of statehood
the legislation now pending remov-
ing Indian restrictions will certainly
become n law, and, while that would
not bring as quick a settlement and
development, It would be of great
proportions. Business men and bank
ers hero as well as outside capital
lists see these things and the result
is there is n very healthy sentiment OF
prosperity in financial circles.

FARMHOUSE TRAGEDY.
Neighbors Discover a Whole Family
Butchered In Michigan.

Rochester, Mich, Jan. ALARMED
by the deserted appearance Of the
farmhouse Of Clarence A. Barnum,
who recently located near here, neigh
bors broke into the house today and
found Barnum, his wife, his daugh-
ter Loisa, and his son Clinton, aged
1G, all lying on the floor and the son
and daughter had apparently been
murdered with an ak. A single barrel
ed shot gun lying near his corpse, and
the fact that his head was almost
entirely blown off, shows how Farmer
Barnum himself had met death Mrs.
Barnum's body lay in the woodshed.
II appeared she had been able to
resist the murderer for a brief time,
or at any rate, had succeeded in elud-
ing him long enough TO reach the
shed. Evidently there had been n ter
rible struggle, as the mother and chill
dren battled for their lives. The din
ing room was all 6pattered with blood
even to the ceiling.

Prisoner Afraid Of Hlmself.

Bellingham, Wash, Jan. Sc. Il.
Kelso, under eight months sentence
in the county jail here for obtaining
money under false pretense, asks
that his sentence be changed to five
years, because he fears that when he
is released he will do violence to
those who prosecuted him, He says
he is entirely the victim of misunder-
stood circumstances. He is a gradu-
ate of the University OF Indiana, was
reform mayor of Bradford, Ia, in
1884, and was prominent in politics
at Guthrie Ok. later, He came to the
northwest in search Of health and
worked as a millwright. Although
lawyer he has not practlced for
some time.

THE PARLIAMENTARY WHIP


when private affairs or other matters
make 1t impossible for. our lawmakers
to attend 70 their duties I'm house or
senate a pair is made out with a
member Of the opposition and fled
with the clerk This acts 10 preserve
the balance Of the majority, since one
vote from each side is taken away.
Ihc matter IS entirely one Of personal
arrangement, and the clerks only duty
Is TO record the fact.
In parliament there Is an official TO
prepare these pairs and to act as
"'whip" FOR his party, the place carry
ing with It a salary Of $4,000 as pat
ronagc secretary.
Tho parliamentary whip IS something
more than an arrangcr Of pairs, how
ever. for bis chief duty lies i'm seeing
that all members of III, party are pres
cnt when there is likely TO be a need
of their vote, and for this purpose he
sends out through his assistants no
ticcs I'm which the Importance of the
events 10 come is shown by the num-
Der Of the undcrscorcd lines used
A one line whip, wherein the subject
Of the debate aud other Information are
UNDERSIGNED but once, is not regarded
as being particularly pressing. but a
two line whip commands attention. and
three line whip means that The recip-
lent who abscnts himself is liable to
find himself I'm disfavor with his party
-Four lines are used only in announcing
great events, and no one who receives
the occasional five line whip would
think Of remaining away unless i'll in
bed.
In parliament pairing is matter ar
ranged by the whips Of the opposing
parties ana not by those who seek to
escape their duties. At times there are
humorous mistakes made as each seeks
to pair Off some one who would in any
event remain away. The most nota-
bic case was one wherein a man ubed
with a broken leg was paired with n
member who had just died, each whip
gloating over his clevcrncss until the
facts came TO light.

the fiat wheaton cakes then made on

spIit in Farmers, Union.

A Muskogee dispatch says the far
mers' unions in Indian Territory and
Oklahoma have separated and It is
believed that the breach is such a hope.
less one that they will never be able
to get together again. There are 25,-
600 members of this organization in
Indian Territory, 1t is clHimod. It is
believed that the cause of the breach
between the territory and Oklahoma
was caused by a few Of the leaders
in the Oklahoma crowd forming ce.'
tain policies and insisting that they
be indorsed and adopted by the local
unions Of the territory This started
a row which grew until IL resulted Ia
the formal separation of the two or
ganlzations. The number Of members
and the emphatic views held by the
members of the organization had,
while it was non-political in its m.
ture, caused considerable comment
and a good deal Of figuring among the
politicians. II was an open question
whether they would stand together on
a political proposition or upon ques.
tions relative to a constitution for the
new state If they should do this,
they have enough members to make
a big showing and a dangerous vote
for the persons or party opposing
them.

WINDS AND DRAFTS.
The Former Are BcncGciaI, but the
Latter Are Dangerous.

The Former Are BcncGcia1, but the
Latter Are Dangerous.
by draft is meant the currents of
air in an incloscd space. Our fore
fathers attributed nearly all the evils
that bcsct them to drafts, and they
would not have slept in mcurtaiuod
beds for anything. or course their
windows and doors were shaky. and
houses stood far apart, so drafts We're
nearly inevitable. But the modern sci
cntihc world tries to deny drafts alto

harmless ana even healthy to Il certain

Any one who cares TO find out the
difference between a wind and draft
can DO so In any apartment which has
windows ON different sides of the
house. Let him open a window on II

toward which the wind blows. The air
which comes in is quite harmless il

warm clothes, and little children may
take the air in a room thus ventilated.
But let him open a window past which
the wind blows, ana it wiz be found
that the air in the room is moved 10y a
number Of currents. al of which strive
to reach the opening. II is the passing
wind which sucks up the air in the
room and draws IL out, and this causes
the room TO have what is called d
draft
The effect upon sensitive persons is

dangerous drafts are those that are

More fatalities have their origin in
or result from cold than from any
other cause. This fact alone should
make people more careful as there is
no danger whatever from cold when

For many years Chamberlain Cough
Remedy has been recognized as the
most prompt and effectual medicine
