GOT WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR.
Young hOseiey Finally Lands in State
Prison for Term.

The smart young travelling man, one
Leo A. Moseley, whom our people will
remember as me thrower of 'cowhage, s.
loathscne drug, while attending q
dancing party composed of young people
at the Opera house few weeks since
has come to grief. In fact he appears
to have BEEN looking for trouble ever
since he was permitted TO leave Viroqua.
He Jumped hoard bill at La Crosse,
and was placed under arrest for the act.
A number of travelling men generously
took compassion on Moseley, paid his
bill and fine and secured him a position
as porter in a local hotel. The temp
tations to 20 wrong were too strong
and he was arrested and convicted Of
stealing large number Of cigars from
the baggage of commercial man He
was given the full limit of the law by
the presiding judge, years service in
states prison.
The contemptible pace set up while
here was asnre augury that young Nose
ley was deserving of and headed straight
for the prison pen. And it Is perhaps
we'll that he soon realizes the harvest or
his sowing of wild oats. Possibly hs
may recover his senses and attempt to
live right life when his term is finish

AN AWFUL DISASTER!
WRECKED BY
EARTHQUAKE AND DEVAS-
TATED BY FIRE.

One of the most awful disasters of
modern times is reported here by tele-
graph today. The beautiful city of San
Francisco ia now in possession OF the
fire fiend after an earthquake shock
which completely wrecked and sunk the
entire business and manufacturing Sec
tion Of the great city. The latest tele-
grams report the loss of life at least
two thousand and the e-e still raging
and beyond control Berkeley is also
reported as destroyed ny the earthquake
and fire. The disaster happened ~
about daylight this morning and evident
ly before the factories weie opened and
the shopping districts crowded, This
would seem to account for the compare
lively small number of fatalities.

crop is foregone conclusion but il ie
merely speculation to estimate what

history of other seasons following fat
years for the growers demonstrates
that the increase of any one year over
the previous one seldom exceeds 25 per
cent. Ii is to be expected that consider
able new area will be planted with to-
oacco in the northern growing sections,
especially in Lacrosse county, the
Trempealeau Valley and in Eau Claire
and Dunn counties, which for several
years past has been extending it's to-
bacco fields. The Vernon and Craw-
ford county district is quite likely to be
extended somewhat the coming season
with an increase of 10 to Is per cent.
In Dane and Rock counties where the
old tobacco growing area mas been en-
croached upon by the sugar beet the
past two years, a considerable increase
will be planted this season.

WHEN THE KIDNEYS
 ARE ASING.
The Urgent Need of Prompt Restora- tive Measures is Something That Every One Should
 Understand.
"A Stitch In Time Saves Nine."

Slight disorders in the kidneys or uri. nary organs are more serious than most people think. The first warning symp- toms should receive prompt medical treatment to ward off Bright's Disease or some other dangerous maiady. When the kidneys are ailing and the symptoms become sufficiently pronounced to be noticeable the condition calls at once for prompt measures to stay the progress of the disease. Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy needed. Taken on the ap- pearanee of the first symptoms, such as pain in the back, puffiness under the eyes, irregularities in the urine, digestive disorders, it will save the victim ircal- cu1abie misery and suffering, mental torture and expense. Used at the begin- ming of the trouble it cures quickly. Used in the more advanced stages it will win back health and strength as rapidly as circumstances will possibly permit.
 Accept no substitute. Insist on having
 the genuine Prick1y Ash Bitters with the
 large figure in red on the front label.

Heavy Truck Ran Into Curb tt
 Save Blind Man.
Flying Horses swerved by Driver and Plunged Into Tree to Save
 Helpless MaR--LittIe Boy Injured.

The heroism of Montgomery fremen was never moro daringly shown than at 4:l0 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Driver W. F. Bryant of Chemical En- zine No. l, while answering an alarm of fire at breakneck speed. deliberately turned his plunging horses into the curbstone of the sidewalk at the cor ner of Madison Avenue and McDoneugh Street. in order to avoid running over William R. Adams, well-known old blind man of Montgomery.
 The blind man, helpless in his afflic- tion, stood directly in front of the fly ing fire truck and there was no way for the engine to pass him. But the gallant men who daily stand ready to risk their lives in saving others. did not hesitate. Straight into the curb the horses swerved and with a crash that was heard several city blocks. set tied into the debris 1t caused. A small oak tree was literally torn down by the force with which it struck the front of the heavy truck, smashing into splin- ters the substantial double-tree.
 One of the horses fell headlong on the sidewalk and Charles McLauren. the 5-year-old son of Mir. and Mrs. C.. B. McLauren, of 301 Jefferson Street, was thrown violently against the fence

Governor Jefks Respites wi,idH Murder CT and Orders That He be Com- mitted 10 the Insane Hos-

Robert Watts, a white man of Marshall county. sentenced to be hang ed on February g. has been respited until the further order of the Gov ernor. In the meantime he has been committed into the custody of the au- thorities of Alabama Insane Hospital. at Tuscaloosa.
 Watts was convicted of murder at Guntersville last March. His case was appealed to the Supreme Court of Ala hama and was affirmed. In the mean time he was transferred to the county jail of Jefferson county. He killed q Confederate veteran in a brutal man. ner.
 Some weeks ago Watts began to ex- hibit symtoms of lunacy. Expert phy- stcians were called in but the unfor- tunate, man steadily grew worse. He finally became a maniac. l
 The attention of the Governor was called to the doomed mans condition. Governor Jelks requested Dr. J. T. Searcy, Superintendent of the Alabama Insane Hospital to investigate his con- dition with the assistance of two other experts. The verdict of Dr. Searcy, and his associates, Drs. B. L.'Wyman and W. P. McAdory, was that the condemn- ed man was a lunatic.
 Governor Jelks's summary of the case is as follows:

Railroad News

Luxury on Early Railway Trains.
 Current advertisements describing the luxurious appointments offered the modern traveller on sea and land give point to the contrast afforded by the facilities of fifty years ago. which were then regarded as the height to which the passenger had right to aspire. The issue of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Mining Register of June ES, ls5o, said:
 ''The Buffalo Car Company lately shipped a lot of cars for the Illinois Central Railroad, which are far ahead of anything in tileir line yet seen Tn the west. One of them contained six state rooms, each room having two seats with cushioned backs, long enough for a person to lie upon. fhe backs of the seats are hung with hinges at the upper edge, 50 that they may De turned up at pleasure thus, forming two single berths, one over the other where persons may sleep with all the comfort imaginable. In one end or the car is a small wash room, with marble wash bowl, looking glass. etc On the opposite side of the car from the staterooms Is a row of seats with revolving backs, similar to baroers chairs, so arranged that the occupants may sit straight or recline in an easy attitude at pleasure. The other five cars have each two or three similar staterooms."
 The birth of the Pullman car came a little later Tn the spring of 1858 George M. Pullman remodeled at Bloomington, H., Q few of the cars or the Chicago and Alton, and made of them the first Pullman sleeping cars. Leonard Seibert, an old Alton ernploye, ,Stod Ia all aSsiStad tf1 this work shortly before his death he described the cars as follows:
 "Tho contract was that Mir. Pullman should make all necessary changes in- eide of the cars After looking over the entire passenger car equipment or the road, which at that time constitut- ed about a dozen cars, we selected coaches Nos. and 10. They were forty-four feet long. had flat roofs like box cars, single sash windows, of which there were fourteen on a side. the glass in each sash being only little over one foot square. The roof was only a trifle over six feet from the floor of the car. Into this car we got ten sleeping car sections, besides linen locker and two washstands-one at each end The wood used in the interior finish was cherry. M. Pullman was anxious to get hickory, to stand the hard usage which 1t was supposed the cars would receive. I worked the spring and part Of the summer of 1858, employing an assistant or two, and the cars went into service in the summer of 1858. There were no blue prints or plans made for the remodeling of these first two sleeping cars, and MT. Pullman. and I worked out the details and meas urements as we came to them. The two cars cost MT. Pullman not more than $2.OoO. or sl,0OO each. They were upholstered in plush, lighted by oil lamps, heated with box stoves and mounted on four-wheel trucks with iron wheels The berth rate was 50 cents a night There was no porter in those days; the brakeman made up the beds"
