BRAKEMAN GETS
FOOT MASHED

William Rutherford, head brakeman
on the Napier branch of the n, F. &
S., got one of his feet mashed Friday
while at work near Rockdale, and
will be laid up for some time. Mr..
Rutherford was uncoupling and in
some way got his foot caught under
the wheels. His ankle was broken,
one heel mashed off and some bones
in his foot broken. He was brought
to his home on Twelfth street and
given proper medical attention. Ampu-
tation will not be necessary.

FIRE SATUR-
DAY NIGHT.

Fire Saturday night destroyed a
house on the Nashville pike near town
owned by John Gartner and occupied
by H. L. Collier. The fire started
from some unknown cause after the
family had retired and spread so rap
idly that little of the household ef-
fects were saved. Mr.. Collier had
5000 insurance on the furniture with
Farrell G Lipscomb in the Continental,
andMr. Gartner had $500 insurance on
the house with Mora B. Fariss, but
these amounts will not cover the loss.

Five Mile Beach weekly journal., 1906-09-12

You have all noticed the beautiful
prismatic colors on the inner surface
of shells, even of the common oyster
shells. This surface Is composed of
the substance called mother-of- pearl
and its iridescence and its gloss make
it beautiful. Do you know what makes
1t iridescent? The substance Is made
up of an infinite number of little parts,
separated by minute lines, and this
has the effect of breaking up ordinary
light into Its prismatic colors. 1t Is a
similar arrangement Of the particles
that makes the opal iridescent. The
so called "unlucky" nature of the opal
consists In the fact that 1t sometimes
bursts without apparent cause, but
the bursting Is merely natural result
Of its peculiar composition. Some
times sudden change of temperature
makes it burst; sometimes the break
age is due to a cause that even lapl-
dairy cannot determine. The belief
that the stone Is "unlucky" Is nothing
but a silly superstition.

THE GREAT DlPPER.
Something About the Constellation

Something About the Constellation
Known Ursn Major.
Most Of our boys and girls, no doubt,
are familiar with that wonderful group
of seven stars in the northern sky
known to the astronomers as Ursa Ma
jor-the Great Bear-but to ordinary
people as the Great Dipper or simply
as the dipper. You have noticed, of
course, that 1t appears to revolve
around the North Star, and it Is hard,
perhaps, to convince yourselves that
1t does not really move, for you see it
In a different position at every hour of
the night.
If you have studied astronomy, how
ever, you know that its apparent
change of place Is due to the turning of
the earth on its own axis, which makes
1t appear that the Dipper is moving.
You will notice that the two outer stars
In the bowl of the Dipper always point
to the North Star and that the handle
swings around In a giant circle. These
two stars are called the Pointers.
The Dipper is seen In different part
of the sky at different seasons, as you
have also noticed perhaps but do you
know why? That Is caused by the
earth's revolution around the sun.
Sailors and travellers watch the Dipper
SO closely that they can tell the hour
of the night by Its position.-Exchange.

A fable.
In bygone times it came to pass
A tall giraffe and a dwarfish ass
AS fellow travellers side by side
Were jogging through a country wide.
The ass was much inclined to smile
At his companions awkward style;
His great long legs to criticise
And at his neck express surprise
In short, to spare no cruel hit
Whereby he might display his wit
But as they moved the region through
The vegetation scarcer grew,
Until upon the sterile ground
But little else than stones were found.
And only on the tallest trees
Grew aught that could their hunger ease,
And there, with famine worn away,
The hungry ass was forced to stay
And watch his oomrade eat the fruit
A dozen feet above the root.
"Ah. me- he cried, mo more I'll chaf,
Nor at your neck and figure laughl
In truth, find now. after all,
I'd give my ears to be as tall"

Newfoundland is famous for its
heavy fogs, which, under certain con-
ditions, drift out to sea and make navi-
cation dangerous. 1t may be that you
do not know why the fogs are SO heavy
there. They are caused by the min
Cling of the Arctic current, with its
Ice fields and icebergs, with the warm
waters of the gulf stream. This pro-
duces great masses of vapor, which,
when westerly winds prevail, is car
ried out to sea, but when the wind is

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Senator Harper of Ottumwa. has re-
ceived an anti-prinary petition from
his constituents, the first anti-primary
petition, by the way, that has reached
the legislature. The petition is pecul-
far in more respects than the one
mentioned. 1t seems to have been cir
culated by the republican committee
man of the township whence 1t orig
mated, and bears sixteen names be-
sides his own. IL originates from
Chillicothe, a village of LIZ souls In
Cass township, Wapello county. Out
of low estimate of 300 voters in the
township the republican committee
man managed to scare up sixteen be-
sides himself to sign his petition. He
probably could have induced as many
to sign petition to make Iowa an
unlimited monarchy and Joe Blythe its
king.
The Ottumwa Courier has been
earnestly asserting an overwhelming
anti primary sentiment rampant in
Wapello county, raging up and down
seeking what it might devour in the
way of state primary legislation. To
support this assertiveness we are
shown seventeen. names, one of these
the committeeman who ostensibly cir
culated and urged the petition. From
the very hot-bed Of ti-primary sem
timent we are confronted with the
protest of sixteen voters and one COM
mitteeman. Vox populi vox Del!
Seventeen out of several hundreds is
about the correct caucus proportions.
Contrast this with the monster petit
lions sent in by farmers and business
men in favor Of the state primary;
with the immediate response to the
Inquiries of this paper addressed to
leading farmers and business men, SO
per cent of whose replies favored the
: state primary system, the selection OF
United States senators by the prim-
aries and urged their representatives
in the legislature to vote for the law.
UP to date then seventeen out Of
Iowa's two and one-half millions are
on record before the legislature as OPP
posed by petition to primary legisla-
ton. Every one of these will without
doubt vote for Mr.. Perkins. We are
listening to the voice Of the people.

If Iowa republican politics are to be
freed from railroad corporation con-
troll some strong man, some man
strong in every district, must lead the
fight. Members of the legislature are
trying to enact an anti-pass law and
a law making future nominations by
direct vote of the people at a legalized
primary. but they find Mr. Blythe in
their way. Hence 1t is that strong
men by the hundreds have gone to
Mr.. Cummins and said that he must
lead the fight again. You are the
strongest man we have got" is the
argument and much as he may dislike
it, much as may be the cost to him to
campaign this state again, county by
county, he will do it when the prin-
ciple of free citizenship versus absolute
dictation by railroad corporation is
at stake. This principle is at stake
now and it makes the candidacy of Il
strong leader like MIR. Cummlns mn
perative. For this reason he will be
a candidate albeit he may hold back
in the vain hope that something might
turn ND to remove the necessity.

Topics Of the Times

Perhaps the two greatest leaders of
the thought Of the democratic party
are Folk and Bryan. They are two
democrats respected, admired and
trusted by. men of all parties. Both
favor the primary system. Neither
would trade principle for a moment
airy advantage And this is the reason
they are trusted.
