IOWA MAN FALLS UNDER TRAIN
Andrew Hunter Instantly Killed al
Railroad Crossing Near Nicola.


nicola, Ia, Jan. 12.-(Special Telegram.)
Andrew Hunter, a leading resident of this
community, was instantly killed at "Gelse's
Crossing" four and half miles west
of town, by the Chicago Great Western
flyer at $50 o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Hunter. accompanied by his son.
James, and Leo Corbett, going after
cattle and was driving in a buggy, the boys
following on horseback. According to their
story 1t was impossible to see the train as
the buggy approached the track and no
whistle or bell was sounded. The train
struck the horses. cutting one in two and
throwing the other. against a telephone
post which was broken in three pieces.
Mr. Hunter was thrown under the cars and
his head crushed.
The coroner held an investigation at Min
den, which was finally adjourned until
Monday.
Geise's Crossing is considered one OF the
most dangerous in the county and many
accidents have been narrowly averted at
that place.

enough of the opposition to Dolliver to-
gether to elect Secretary Wilson to the
senate. At the same time the friends of
Tobin are charging that Governor Cum
Minis is in fact receptive candidate for
the position of senator OF the United
States and that at a conference at his
home on West Grand avenue last Sunday
he consented to take the position II IL
were given him.
great many unconhrmed rumorB are
floating about the hotels and one of these
rs that a conference of standpat senator's
was held at the Savery last night, men
who are opposed to Dolliver, and that the
results of the conference was an agree
ment to vote for Governor Cummins for
senator an ytime that the progressive
show enough votes which, combined with
these standpatters. would elect Cummins.
If Dolliver shows a stiff back when he
reaches the city the Chase men will un-
doubtedly endesvor to cause him trouble.
If he agrees to support Chase he will
probably be reelected senator, as the
Chase friends are progressives and the
progressives are in the majority. If he re-
fuses to support Chase IL will become a
question of what strength the Chase men
can muster in an attempt to defeat Dolli-
yer.
In an authorized statement Governor
Cummins denied persistent rumors that he

Is solution of perman-

hot soapsuds and thoroughly rinsing
should some small amount OF the solu-

not injurious. A cheap filter can be
made from large new flower pot
thoroughly cleaned. with the hole in
the bottom covered with piece of

OF coarscly powdered charcoal covered
with a layer OF clean sand with top
layer OF coarse gravel stones, This
will alter the water as successfully as

SEASONING TELEPHONE POLES.
The Government and the Companies Are
Both Experimentiur

The scarcity of timber suitable for tie
phone and telegraph poles has OF late
assumed serious proportions, says the
American Telephone Journal
Latest reports of the census office show
that there were in operation in l902 APP
proximately 100000 miles of pole line.
Subsequent additions, however, together
with certain railroad pole lines not re-
ported. would enlarge this figure.
1t is safe to assume that there are in
operation at present fully 100000 miles
of line. The average line contains about
forty poles mile, so that there are APP
proximately 100000 poles in use.
Assuming that the average life of a
pole is twelve years, 1t follows that for
the maintenance of the lines now IN oper-
alton there are needed each year more
than 2.650,000 poles. Such an enormous
demand must soon deplete the available
supply. This is fully recognized by the
different companies.
Tie American Telephone and Tele-
graph cor 1any, in cooperation with the
United States Forestry bureau, has been
carrying on elaborate experiments to de-
termine the best means of prolonging the
life of poles.
These experiments show that seasoned
outlast unseasoned, and that dry wood is
more receptive of preservative fluids than
green wood.
Experiment stations were established
at Dover, n. j., Thorndale, Pa, Pisgah,
N. c., and Wilmington, N. G. As part
OF the terms of cooperation the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph company
supplied fixed number of poles each
month.

RABBIT scALps I'm TRADE.
In Western Kansas They Are Exchanged
for Groceries.

Did you ever hear of rabbit scalps be-
Ing rated as an article Of commerce or
as medium of exchange in the same
manner as eggs and butter? Out In Ire
go county, Kan, th county seat of
which is Wakeene5, the merchants pay
I'VE cents each for rabbit scalps, no mat
ter whether the unfortunate bunny"
was full grown or not. w. J. Williams,
who is the proprietor Of a grocery store
In Wakeeny, bought 2S40 scalps during
the months Of March, April and May
this year. John Keraus, another mer-
chant of the same place, bought 2760
scalps, while no merchant In the little
town paid for less than 30 scalps.
The farmers and ranchmen bring rab-
bit scalps TO the county stores along with
eggs and butter. The grocer accepts aud
counts them with no more ado than il
they were so many eggs.
A few years ago Trego county, In the
hope of exterminating the troublesome
jackrabbits, decided to pay a bounty of
five cents for rabbit scalps, the money to
be paid whenever the scalps were pre-
scented at the county treasurer's Office
Soon after men who had never before
been seen in Wakeeney came to the
court house with big sacks of scalps.
Finally the county commissioners grew
suspicious, and it eventually developed
that certain residents of neighboring
counties were taking advantage of Ire
COS bounty law and were bringing scalps
from as far away as fifty miles.
To discourage this practice the county
decided to allow payment for scalps not
more often than every three months.
Three months was long time to wait.
The hunters became impatient at the
long delay. 1t remained for the mer-
chants to solve the difficulty. According
ly 1t was announced through the columns
of the weekly papers that rabbit scalps
would be taken at the grocery stores in
exchange for merchandise, provided the
owner of the sealps would give his word
that they were taken from rabbits killed
In Trego county.
The plan proved success. Instead of
the farmers making weekly trip to the
court house the merchants reported every
three months Mt the commissioners of
fee and the bills were allowed.
During the months Of March, April
and May the total amount of bills allow
ed by the commissioners for rabbit scalps
was $56S. In other words Trego county
killed 1890 rabbits during the three
motths.--Kansas City Star.

sion the Christian, the follower OF the
Master, ought also to strive TO create
nm atmosphere by carrying the spirit
of the Lord Jesus Christ around with
him, to upbuild the kingdom Of God
among men and advance the cause Of
bis Savior among the nations of the
earth.
A simple, buoyant, merry, trustful
disposition will do more good In the

loads Of biting and sarcastic comments
No ono but God knows how far the

A Popular Name.

George A. Gamble, commercial agent
of the Lehigh Valley railroad, with head
quarters in Kansas City, is In Denver on
business. To his friends Mr.. Gamble is
telling little story on himself. He says
that he was sitting in local hotel lobby
Thursday afternoon when a bellboy
came to him and asked him il he was
Mr.. Jennings.
mo, replied the Kansas City railroad
man. my name isn't Jennings. Then,
just in fun, he said, MY name repre-
sents something that almost every man
in Denver likes TO do now and then. 1t
represents something everybody, who is
in the least way inclined to be little
sporty, likes TO do, 1t representa- thing
that even many Of the Denver society
ladies Ike to do. Can you guess my
manner" The boy looked at Mr.. Gamble
seriously q moment ''Your name" he
said, must be Drink, or something like
.thatft-Denver Post.
