Mrs. Dennison was found by
freight crew an hour after the fatal
occurrence. The body was lying across
the track, and completely cut in two
by the train.
How the accident happened is some
what shrOuded in mystery. The evil
dences surrounding her death seems
to show that she fell on. the front
platform Of the coach following the
baggage car, and was run over by
her own train.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennison were on
their way to Illinois to visit her par
ents, having departed from Colorado
Springs via the Rock Island at 1850
Thursday evening. Her husband had
fallen asleep before the train reached
Calhan, and she woke him up smiling
and remarked that he had been fast
asleep and snoring. She complained
that the air was close and hot in the
car, and left her husbands side, say
ing she must have a breath Of fresh
air.
No. % went on to a side track at
Calhan and stood there some minutes,
waiting for No. Al to pass. Mr.. Den
nisOn dropped into a dose again, and
the train continued east with only the
husband on board. After a little, he
awOke and not finding his wife in the
coach, asked the conductor If she was
on the train. Not being found, Mr..
Dennison debarked at LimOn, taking

ORDERING a THANKSGIVING.

1t Is Done by the President and Sealed
by Department OF State Officials.
From Philadelphia Record
The only piece Of pure literature Of
hciaIly issued from the White house is
the proclamation designating a day Of
Thanksgiving. All other papers by
the president are business documents,
their phraseOlOgy often careless or oc-
casionally slipshOd. This message is
painstakingly wOrded and graceful Of
composition. A fair example is Mr..
ROOseyelt's proclamation Of Thanks
giving for 1906.
At the department Of state the proc
lamatiOn is typewriter on a large
sheet OF paper after which 1t is sent
to the president for signature; and re-
turned to the department to be signed
by the secretary Of state and sealed
with the great seal Of the United
States
The seal is a federal fetch. It is
the most sacred thing that belongs to
the government No print Of it is ever
given away or sOld-thOugh, Of course
it is attached to all military and naval
commissions, and many other execu-
tive documents 1t was made at a
cost Of $4,000, and kept in a rose
wood box at the state department
That ii may be used for stamping the
Thanksgiving proclamation a printed
order must be signed by Mr.. ROose-
welt
The department OF state is the per-
manent repositories Of executive proc
lamatiOns ever issued by the presi-
dent Of the United States are fled
away in its srchives-back even to
1855 when George Washington set
aside the nineteenth day OF February
on which the people should thank
God for exemption from foreign war
and from Instruction
1t viii thus be seen that the fssu-
ing OF the annual THANKSGIVING proc-
iamatiOn is, from beginning to end,
quite an elaborate piece Of business.

ROBBERY RESULTS IN MURDER
BAD MEN ENTER FIGURING MILL
AT PHILLIPSBURG
Because the Cashier Didn't Throw Up
His Hands When Ordered He
Was Fatally Injured.

Information was telegraphed to
City Marshal Pat Cochrane at 6:45
Wednesday evening from Phillipsburg
that a hoId-up occurred there a short
time before, and to look on westbOund
Rock Island trains for a man who
shot and fatally injured the cashier
Of the Touring mill at that place.
Although the place was entered by
three robbers, only one Of them was
described to the marshal and hence it
is supposed that he did the shooting
His description is given by a Rock
Island special agent is as follows:
Height, I'VE feet eight or nine
inches; weight, 10 or $50 pounds; red
face smooth shaver, blue eyes, hair
cut short, heavy black shoes, blue fan
mel short faded black OverCOat, black
cap. Looks like heavy drinker''
Policeman COchrane met all the
WestbOund passenger trains after he
received the telegram, and kept
sharp lookout for the man in question,
All three men were wanted but the
authorities were very anxious to get
the one described.
William Oakford, who had been in
formed Of the affair, thought he had
the man spotted sure and hurried to
inform the policeman Three fellows,
one Of them answering almost perfect
~ to the description, had inquired for
a bed at OakfOrd & Adams place, and
being refused, they went TO the Le-
land hotel where a room was given
them
The men were traced there, but if
they were desperate Il would be an
unWise act to enter the room with the
advantage on their side, thought
COchrane, so he decided to lose no
opportunity, however, and secured the
services OF Sheriff George Bradley,
William OakfOrd and Cas- HOgebOOm
in taking in the men when they came
from their room in the morning.
At daylight they emerged, and as
they entered the hotel lobby the mar

They were searched for weapons and

The chief peril of which man is ex-
posed is that Of proclamation Of what
is holy, from which he is shielded by
shutting him up in the circles Of his
senses, and restricting him to the
shadows Of his reason. Within that
circle, and in those shadows, he ac-
quires what he believes is wisdom,
pursues what he names ambitions,
suffers what he fancies are pain and
sorrow, wreaks what he intends for
revenges, commits what he calls
sins, INDUCES what he mistakes for
love, and, in a word, lives what 1t is
given him to imagine is human life.
Yet in all that span OF existence
there is but a handful of hours when
he truly lives the life that his own
and not a pretense, an evasion, or an
error; and those few hours appear to
him-save at the instant Of their
revelation-as hallucinations. Never
theless they are the porticos and pill

and complacently puts away from
him, and turns himself to what seems
to him his heaven, but is his hell.
Truly, this is pity and a loss!--

MILK FEVER IN COWS.

is a simple remedy, and an ordinary

An exchange urges promptness in the

to figure out as to how the treatment
works or why it cures, but pump her
udder full of air and let remain two
hours; then strip out all the air and
milk you can and again fill the udder
with air. Repeat treatment at intervals
of two hours until improvement is
marked. Keep the milk tube clean

ABOUT THE HARROW.

The harrow has been brought to such
high state of perfection, there should
be no excuse for the farmer not thor.
oughly fining the soil for all crops.
This operation pays every time and no
one should think of leaving a field
rough and lumpy, full Of ridges and
hollows, but pains should be taken
to work the soil down fine and smooth;
indeed, follow the practices of the mar
ket gardener as far as possible. The
gardener would not think Of sowing his
seeds on half prepared seed bed and
neither should the farmer. The fact
is, as a general thing we have not paid
enough attention to fertilizing and pull
verizing the soil. In purchasing har-
row the farmer should not think of
finding one single harrow that will
meet all of his requirements. He needs
more than one in order to be well
equipped. The spike-tooth, spring
tooth, coulter-tooth and disk. all have
their proper place; and if possible, the
farmer should have them all. 1 will
say this, however: If could purchase
but one harrow, that would most cer-
tainly be a cutaway dix, getting the
others later on. This is harrow or
machine that cuts and stirs the soil
in an admirable manner; and besides,
it is of easy draft, so the team will
appreciate it. Another important feat
ure is, the driver can ride. Why, for
killing quack grass there is nothing
that will compare with it, and for in
tensive culture no one can afford not to
own one. A smoothing harrow should
be owned on every farm. 1t is Of great
value in seeding to grass and in the
cultivation Of corn and potatoes in
their early growth. SO much so, in
fact, that the farmer cannot afford
TO get along without one.-F. II. Dow

Mammoth's Skull and Tusks.

The skull and tusks and the bone Of
one of the forelegs of mammoth
were brought to this city by ]. M.
Taverind, a carpenter on the United
States revenue cutter Bear. These
fossilized remains were dug out Of
the sand in the bed of one Of the riv-
ers on Ketchabue sound, Alaska.
They were found by native Esqui-
maux last July and were taken to the
Bear TO be traded. Taverind, recog-
nizing the value they would have in
this country, at once purchased them.
The skull is nearly three feet
through and weighs nearly $50
pounds. Both tusks have been broken
or have disintegrated, but even now
one of them is seven feet and three
inches long, while the other is four
feet two inches. When the animal
was alive they must have measured
about zine feet in length.-San Fran

GROWING DEMAND FOR SHEEP.

GROWING DEMAND FOR SHEEP.
1t is interesting to note how greatly
the number of sheep in the United
States has decreased. Thirty years
ago the number of sheep was just
about equal to our population. The
census returns of 1900 show that there
We're only half as many sheep as our
population. In some other countries
of Europe and Asia the increase has
been thirty to forty per cent. during
the same time, though in recent years
the number was greatly reduced by
drouths and other causes. Just now
there is strong tendency to increase
the holdings of sheep in this country,
This has been greatly stimulated by
higher prices of both sheep and wool
and the rapid increase in the consump
ton of mutton. The latter is likely
to grow steadily as it has grown ir
past five years, and has given new i'm.
pulse to sheep growing. A better
knowledge of the value of sheep in
increasing land fertility, especially in
the agricultural States, has also added
not little to the tendency of increas.
ing the flocks on the farm. 1t is very
well understood now that there is o
scarcity of sheep and the demand for
more is likely to go on for several
years.-Indiana Farmer.
