RATTLEsNAKE KILLED HIM
Andrew Anderson. p Years Old, Re
cefved Fatal Bite Friday.

Andrew Anderson, 2 Years DID, Re
cefved Fatal Bite Friday.
Andrew Anderson, who had wealth
cred the storms OF Y years without
serious hurt, could not have believed
that death was lurking under the
slantfng sod when he turned il over
last Friday to Kill a rattlesnalke that
had taken refuge for defense against
his common foe But that was the
case The old gentleman, who lives
on his farm, thirteen miles north OF
KanoradO, was in the field operating
a riding pillow, when he observed
rattlesnaze crawl from under the ma
chine and TO go into hiding under an
upturned sod nearby. He stopped the
horses, and with a wrench in hand
started after the snake Not being
certain just where the snake was, Mr..
Anderson pushed back a sod with the
wrench when the rattlesnalze struck
him on the back OF the thumb. He
had to shake his hand several times
before the fangs would come out. and
when they did, the fangs tore his
flesh for an inch.
Mr.. Anderson was about a quarter
Of a mile from the house. and the half
hour that interviewed before he reach
ed home with the team he could have
resisted the work Of the poison were
il not for one thing Before the ac-
cident happened, his lower lip had
been cut by his hand flying on the
lever when he was raising the plOw-
nevertheless sucked the pOsiOn from
the wound, but the poison was con-
veyed to the blood through his injured
lip, and when he got home, his mouth
and neck were quite swollen and his
arm affected clear to the shoulder
His daughter, who was living with
him, gave him whisky and used local
applications, but the old gentleman
grew worse and suffered great pain
The following day a doctor from Bur
lingtOn was called, and administered
hypOd ernie injections, and left medi-
cine for the patient, but Mr. Ander-
son passed away in the afternoon Of
Nay 19. Funeral services were held
at the home Monday at 10 o'clock,
and burial made in the cemetery near
Ashland, Colo
Deceased leaves four sons Oscar,
living at home; Charlie and Otto Of
Kansas City and Manuel Of Haxtams
Colo; also two daughters, Mrs. Thilda
Johnson Of Hepburn, Ia, and Mrs

DIVISIONS ARE CHANGED.
Rock Islands Missouri District Ex-
tended to Horton.

LILICL 70 LLULLUU-
For the purpose Of facilitating the
operation of trains on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railway
change has been made in the terri
tories Of the Kansas and Missouri df-
visions The Missouri division has
been extended to Horton, Kan, its
original western terminal having been
at St Joseph, No. Heretofore this
portion OF the line between Horton
and St Joseph has been in Kansas
division
This change has been made because
Of the new service which the Rock Is
land has inaugurated between Fair
bury, Neb., and Kansas City, a part Of
which is over the Burlington tracks.
Under the old arrangement it would
have been necessary to change the
train crews at st. Joseph, but now
they viii run through to Horton.

The New Railroads and No. them
Wisconsin.

Speaking of the new railroads and
extentions being built in Northern Wis
consin the Milwaukee Free Press says:
Several of these lines have but recent
ly been completed. One of these ex-
tends from Manitowoc to Green Bay
Several new towns are provided with
railway communication between these
cities, including Francis Creek, Mari
bel, Denmark and Bellevue. North of
Green Bay two new lines are being con-
structed, one to the northwest to Shaw
ano and Eland junction and the other
from Green Bay north to a point near
Gillett. From Gillett north the new
road through Wabeno and Laona, in
the heart of the hard wood region, was
completed not long since ard is an ex-
cellent trade producing artery for Mil
waukee.
supplementary to the building of the
latter line was the opening this sum-
mer of line north from Laona to a
junction with the Peninsula division
of the Chicago & Northwestern rail
way at Sunders, Mich, near the Wis
consin and Michigan state line.
Steps are being taken to develop
this section in way that will event
ually mean new farm lands, new towns
and additional manufacturing centers
that will come to Milwaukee for their
purchases.
Still furthur development is taking
place furthur west, where the North
Western has opened a new line from
Mercer to Fosterville. This, like the
county just described, is well covered
with hardwood timber and the new
line opens up an undeveloped portion
of what is known as the Pressure Isle
region.
The land proposition in this northern
region is one that cannot be duplicated
anywhere in the United States. The
early settler who secured timber land
has made himself Independent under
adverse conditions. Today there is a
market for every stick of timber cut in
the big woods country at about five
times the Price paid the homeseeker
twenty Yeas ago. Saw logs that bring
the farmer $40 per 1000 feet at the mill
today bro nght So per 1000 feet fifteen
years ago.
The settler can pay for his land from
the timber cut from the farm besides
making enough to pay household ex-
penses while clearing the land for ag-
ricultural purposes The presence of
the North Western road and its numer-
Gus branches through the big woods
country provides a home market Tor
the farmer that did not exist in tho
early days.
1t is, too, the finest dairy and stock
feeding district in the leading dairy
state OF Uncle sam broad DOMAIN.
Today the farmer finds ready mar
ket for cord wood at 81 to S. per cord.
There is also a market for bark, ties,
posts, pup wood, logs for lumber, and
fence material which pays . handsome
profit for his labor. In many instan-
ces tue farner has marketed enough
timber t. more than pay for ms quar-
ter section OF land, besides securing
enough material to build his home, his
barns and outhouses and fence his farm.
