\ WASTE OF SENTIMENT.

II
A good many people seem to think
q railroad company is worthy Of the
+ tenderest alteration and the kindliest
consideration. They cling to the be-
lief that corporations are very sensi-
tive to marks Of affection and exceed.
ingly resentful Of opposition In a
measure that is true, but the motive
underlying all corporate activity is
cool, calculating business. Some
months ago when the people of this
city we're agitating the raising or re
moyal Of the r., N. and p. bridge in or
der that We might have an open river.
some Of our citizens trembled in their
boots lest the i and o, might rctaliate
by doing something awful to Fatrmont
orrefrse to do something fer the town
w!.iclg 1t had in contemplation. The
railroads do not do busIness that way.
How many people think We got a new
depot in FaiFmont because of the com.
pany's love for the town? Who be.
lieyes sentiment caused the charging
Of the coal yards or the building Of .
round:house here? How long would
the r., M. and P. bridge have been left
standing II Uncle Sam hadn't said It
must move? Answer these questions
and then we shall toll you how much
love Of the city Is behind the move,
ment Of the company in the First ward
this time. The council will be very
foolish to recede one iota from the po.
sition taken in the matter Of franchise.
If the railroad company wants the
Tightof way through First ward, 1t will
buy 1t and pay for It and help the city
in getting a suitable wharf; II 1t
doesn't want to build over there, it
won't do II anyway

African sleepino Sickness.

Prof. Robert Koch lectured in Ber-
lin recently on the sleeping sickness.
which he investigated for several
months in equatorial Africa during the
year 1905. Emperor William and dis
tinguished company were present.
The malady, said the professor. had
been known on the west coast of At
rica since the beginning of the last
century and it had spread to the north
short of the Victoria NyanZa and then
entered German Africa. Probably 200,-
900 persons had died from the disease.
The infection was spread from human
to human by the sting of fly. The
poison affected the usual health for
several days and then the sufferer was
attacked with fever, became incoher.
ent, the glands were swollen and the
patient became enfeebled and event
ually was seized with the sleep mania.
Professor Koch knew OF no remedy for
this disease.

way on Friday evening previous. Up
to that time the weather had been
good and concert was Just being be-
gun. when. without the slightest warn
ing, huge wave struck the boat. In
an instant all was uproar. Those at
tending the concert rushed pell nell in
all directions. Men and women
dropped on their knees and prayed.
while others ran on deck. The vessel
reeled and quivered under the shock
and for five minutes panic reigned on
board. Part of the ships bowsprit
was carried away. the iron railing was
twisted and many windows were
broken. through which poured hun
dreds of gallons of water.
Captain Mills said that in all his ex-
perience he never encountered a wave

NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair Be-
gan to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cutlcura Remedies.

About the latter part OF July my
whole body began to itch. did not
take much notice of it at first. but It
began to get worse all the time. and
then | began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but | became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night. just as soon as | would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep 1t irritated, and 1t
was not long before I could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies, and /
did. and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks | would take a hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and I
kept getting better. and by the time
| used four boxes of Cuticura l was
entirely cured. and my hair stopped
falling out. ID. Il. Blankenship, 319

ROUTED THE TIGER WITH MAP.
Presence of Mind Saved Life Of Eng
lish SURVEYOR


How an English surveyor routed a
Malayan tiger. with no other weapon
than rolled-up map. is told by the
Straits Times of Singapore: while n
well-known local surveyor. who had
been kept out late at work on Satur-
day night. was driving In n rikisha
along Tampenis road. about 1880
O'clock, his rikisha coolie suddenly
dropped the shafts and ran for his life
INTO the edge of the jungle. On peer
ing into the darkness-the vehicle
was not carrying a light-the gentle
man saw large creature standing in
the middle of the road. He got out of
the rikisha and went towards the
beast, thinking it some large dog that
had frightened the coolie. When
within six or seven yards he per
ceiyed that the brute was a large H.
ger.
He had no weapon except a large
district survey map rolled up. He
saw the futility of attempting to dis
able the tiger with the rolled-up map,
but the thought struck him that he
| might manage to frighten 1t my mean
OF his roll. Suddenly he unrolled 1t
with quick Zip. spreading it to its
fnll area of four or five feet square
With single bound the tiger cleared
on into the jungle.
The next thing was to find the
coolie. who eventually was discovered
In state of collapse in the ditch. He
was unable to pull his fare back and
ID was not until threa nr four miles
had been traversed with both men on
foot that he recovered sufficiently to
pull the European home"

Saved Life by Strategy.

Sir Harry Johnston, the famous ex-
plorer, once escaped from very tight
corner in Africa by a queer stratagem.
A score or two of murderous natives
had surrounded his tent. into which,
before rushing it, they sent an envoy.
The envoy was told the smallpox was
in the camp and wretched Albino
was sent out as the awful example.
In five minutes the scared tribesmen
had vanished. AS Sir Harry well
knew, they feared the white disease"
more than all the inventions of Max
