 Head. xsls)

 The body was discovered under the bridge by several Mexican boys who had been playing along the river, and they notified the inspectors at the bridge, who summoned the police.
 When the police arrived it was seen that death was a matter of but short time, and the body was ordered taken to the home of his brother, 912 Utah street.
 Leaves a Note.
 The following note was found in a pocket of the dying man:
 My heart is sore with pain and find it impossible to live longer. My brothers. I ask you to forgive me this disgrace and be compassionate. It is my will that my brother, Neponi- ceno. should have lot No. 30 in block 29, Bassett's addition, which belongs to me If he desires to sell it it will be satisfactory. My heart is nothing but grief and trouble, a cankering sore in my bosom, and l will kill myself while I have the nerve. Goodbye,

SALOON MEN TO GET WELCOME

GALESBURI, IT., Sept. 14.-Mayor Lake W. Sanborn decided today to de liver an address of welcome on behalf of the city to the Liquor Dealers State Protective Association, which meets here next week, in spite of the protest of the anti-saloon people and the wishes of the college faculty and city pastors. He holds that the conven- tion will be composed of body of men engaged in commercial pursuits recognized by law as legitimate, and that 1t would be discourteous to give them no recognition.

integrity Of the former church :" and that the
design of the injunction is 'to restrain Rev. Mr..
Mack and his followers from carrying out their

fruits of the conflict between the two factions
of the Cumberland Church, and the extent of the
sad contest throughout the entire denomination
NO man can forecast The minority cannot be
justly criticised for adhering to the convictions
that they have always cherished, and refusing to
be diverted by majority vote to communion
whose teachings and practices it cannot con-

said of that larger denomination that has ac-
lively promoted this distressing division of
hitherto harmonious communion of believers?

As there was no bed, nor boards the wagon, we
had to ride on the axle seven miles terribly
bad road. had to ride backwards, as Brother Dan
was not we'll and had to occupy the seat on the
axle with the driver. 1t a rough experience

In Ohio the law against conspiracy in restraint
of trade is not dead letter. Prominent men in
Toledo engaged in the ice business got together
and talked over the situation. The ice crop had
been deficient and that afforded favorable op-
portunity for them to make consumers paw fftv
ner cent. more for their ice supply than they did
the previous season. 1t was case of the worm
turning. The agitation against the ice monopoly
resulted in action against its leaders in court
The surprise is that the accused were not only
found guilty but that full penalties allowed by
law were melted out to them. Each defendant
was fined $4,000 and sentenced to one years i'm
prisonment. That was a surprise but it is not
vet certain that these offenders will have to serve
their term of imprisonment They and their
friends are using every endeavor to prevent them
from going to the workhouse, where they would
like other prisoners, be put to hard labor It is
not always safe to tamper with the law.-Ex

4 NEW MOUNTAIN RAILWAY
Its Highest Point VIII Reach Nearly
Fourteen Thousand Feet Above
the Sea.

Switzerland is the home of mountain
railways. With an area not larger than
one-third OF the state Of New York there
may be counted about 100 railways for
the sole purpose of carrying passengers to-
mountain tops varying i'm height from a
few thousand to 5000 or 5000 feet. The
month OF August. 1905, witnessed the open
ing Of a way carrying tourists even far
above these attitudes, beyond the clouds,
to 1880 feet; and, when completed, its
highest point will reach nearly 14OO0 feet
above the sea-at the top OF the famous
Jungfrau, the queen OF the Berner Ober-
land.
There are other mountain railways on
the globe attaining much higher attitudes
than even this, and on the Ovoya railway
OF Peru / myself Travelled a considerable
distance above 1900 feet; but most OF these
roads were built for the development of
commerce and mining industries. The
Swiss mountain railways, however. are al
most exclusively IN the service Of tourists
only, numbering in Switzerland lone not
far from 100000 every year. They come
to admire the scenic wonders of the little
country on the roof OF Europe, or to seek
shelter against summer heat at the many
mountain resorts.
The majority of these mountain railways
are paying investments. Switzerland, being
a country OF mountains, is consequently
also a country of water courses fed by the
