From Saturdays

The following extract regarding a loose
jointed curiosity @...:;::c::. made his way
into Worthington last week is taken
from The Worthington Advance and
will no doubt be interesting: A human
curiosity who called himself the human
rattle box drifted into town Wednesday
and exhibited himself to the medical
fraternity. He first called on DR.. Mason
to whom he was directed by physician
OF Mankato The doctors arranged to
spring little joke on his brother physi-
clans and after supper took the freak to
his office and sent out "a hurry-up call
to another doctor to come and assist
him reducing disjointed shoulder. The
doctors, one after another, were called
in to assist in setting dislocated hip
or shoulder After all had been sold the
subject gave demonstration of what he
could do. He can throw out of joint
either shoulder or hip, also one arm ut
the elbow, and one ankle. He can shift
his heart from the left to the right
SIDE or drop it into his stomach. He has
exhibited himself before some of the
most prominent medical men in the
world. He was on his way to Sioux
City, where he has an engagement with
a medical college.

PAYS SECOND FINE.
John Degelman's Fish Cost About
$40 a Pound.
From Thursdays Daily.

Deputy Sheriff Osten went to Madison
Lake this morning and returned will
John Degellnan, who was charged with
catching a croppie out of season. Degel
man explained to the court that he had
already pleaded guilty before the justice
at Madison Lake to catching three crop
pies, and had paid a fine of $40 and
costs. These were the only fish that he
had caught.
Judge Comstock construed the law
that fine of $40 can be assessed fol
each fish, and fined Degelman $40 and
costs, or little over $lS in all, which
he paid.
1t appears that Game Warden Towne
did not know that Mr.. Dcgelman had
paid the fine at Madison Lake, or he
would not have commenced the pro.
secution in Mankato.

OPERATORS MUST REST.
Orders Issued by Northwestern Com
pany to Its Employees.

From Mondays d

Orders have been issued by tn
Northwestern to all of its operator,
instructing them that they must slee
when they are supposed to sleep, an
that the habit of exchanging work mus
cease The order recites that all oper
ators both day and night men, mus
take the required amount of rest an
sleep to make them fit for work whe;
on duty, that they must not keep I'm
reasonable hours, and that the nigh
men must sleep in the day time whel
they are supposed to. The habit O
exchanging work for day man t.
trade work with a night man, so tina
one or the other man might get of
must be discontinued.
The reason for the issuance of the or
der could not be learned, but it is pre-
sumed that it is intended as pre-
cautionary measure and to better the
service in view of the recent disaste
on the Denver & Rio Grande, resultin.
from overwork to an operator. Hereto
fore when the day man wished to be alb
sent for day the night operator would
work in his place, necessitating the
night man working at least twenty -fou
and generally thirty-six hours, withou,
sleep. 1t is claimed that it was a east
of this kind that caused the recent dis
aster on the Denver & Rio Grande. anl
the Northwestern does not intend to
have anything Of the kind happen OF
its lines if it can be presented.
