GIANT MAGNETS.
kho Operation of Lifting Monster
I.onus With Them.


The peculiar properties of an electric
current often lead one to fancy that
1t may pcrcancc be endowed with the
spirit of intelligence, so mysterious are
It's inner workings
~ most curious Use Of electricity is
ac adoption OF lifting - ;neis in mn
chime shop and mill pracUcc An elec.
FRO magnet in its simplest form con-
lists of piece OF soft iron wound with
large number of turns of insulated
felipcr wire. When IN electric current
passes through the windlngs of wire
Inc electric forces are converted into
magnetic forces and the coil OF wire
ana core of soft iron assume all the
characteristics Of Il common steel mag
net
The operation of lifting magnets is
quite simple. The magnet is attached
10 the crane hook, and the ends Of the
wire form!n" the coil are connected
directly with the dynamo. The crane
is then swung 50 that the magnet ~
suspended directly over the metal TO
10 removed. The magnet is then low
cred until II comes in contact with the
object, the current Is turned on. The
MOIST Is raised and the mass Of metal
TO be moved clings tn the magnet
When the load reaches the desired
point ii may be dropped without first
lowering The magnet or il may be low
cred. the current shut or and the ma
terial deposited gently. The crane op-
orator needs no help to load or I'M
load, and the work can be done in half
the time with n saving of from three
TO four men.-New York Herald.

DIED At DEPOT.

Strange Young Man Died Suddenly at
the Rock Island Depot Saturday.
Last Saturday young man who came
to Dodge City from Pratt on the Rock
Island train, died at the Rock Island
depot here soon after his arrival 10 town.
His clothing was dirty and his general
appearance indicated that he had been
living the life Of tramp for some time.
There were papers In his pockets, from
which 1t is supposed that he had been
sent from one Of the Northern states to
Kansas by an employment bureau, and
from one Of these papers 1t appears that
he reached Pratt on November ~, and
had reported to some Of the railroad peo-
pie at that place. The place be started
from, according TO the employment card
he carried, was Minneapolis, Mimi, and
the name on the card was j. Olson.
He seemed to besuffering from asthma
and be must have been too far gone when
he reached Kansas to undertake work. 1t
is probable that some one at Pratt advised
him to 60 to Colorado to try that climate
for his health, and that he had started,
coming to Dodge City to take the Santa
Fs. After his death he was taken to the
undertaking rooms Of the Home Furnish.
ing company. His appearance was that
Of very rough character. After be had
been cleaned up and bis face shaved, his
appearance was greatly changed, and
those who saw the body are Of the opin-
ion that he probably comes from good
family, and that his sickness and want Of
care were responsible for his uncouth con-
dition when he reached here.
1t 10 likely that he has friends who will
be making search for him later. The
undertakers have sent out letters to diff.
ferent points making inquiry, with a
view to establishing bis identity and
locating his friends.

OLD AGE
DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS, BUT
UPON VITAL FORCE.

In Laramie lately thee has been a
good deal of discussion in regard to old
people. Some at fifty years call them
selves old, and really appear so, while
others at seventy years seem active,
Vigorous and young.
1t is not years, but it is loss of vi
ltal force that makes a person old.
weakened digestion, thin blood and
poor circulation soon start functional
powers and vitality on the wane, and
then the symptoms of old age quickly
appear.
DR.. Mills, A Druggist, graduate of
1.-THE philadelphia College of Pharmacy,
says that old feeling may be warded
loft, and we wish every person in Lara
mic who feels old, whether they are
so in years or not, would try the great
discovery, Vinol. We know that it has
vital principles which will in a natural
manner strengthen digestion, send rich
red blood coursing through the veins
and give new life and strength to every
organ of the body, and this is what
makes the old feel young again.
Mrs. II. w. Avery says:
AT the age of eighty-nine | felt the
need of a tonic, something to strength
en- and build me up. For some time l
have been taking Vinol, and | have
found that it brings vigor and renewed
vitality to the aged as nothing else
will"
Vinol repairs worn tissues, checks
the natural decline and replaces weak
ness with strength. 1t is an ideal body
builder for old folks.
We promise you that Vinol is, first
of all, agreeable, because it contains
no fishy oil. Second, that it is a gen.
uine cod liver medicine, containing all
the medicinal curatives and strength
making elements taken direct from
fresh cod %livers; and third we will re-
turn YOU money If it does not do eX-
actly what we claim for It," DR.. Mills.
