jured in a wrecked train while enroute
to Virginia last Wednesday. They were
taken to hospital but resumed their
journey on Saturday.

Jesse Leary, who had his collar bone
fractured and otherwise injured ia a
runaway accident at Rockford last week,
is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs VIM
Leary, until he is able to resume his po-
sition as engineer on the Illinois. Iowa &
Minnesota Ry. Jesse thinks he is now
"ire proof" this being the third serious
accident he has passed through during
the past year.
By far the severest thunder storm of
the season came our way Thursday
night. The only instance reported to us
of serious damage was on John Hyland's
farm. q miles southwest of town. where
big barn was struck and burned to the
ground at about II o'clock. We are not
informed as to the amount of the loss,
but understand that there were no cat
tie or horses in the barn at the time.
There was very likely large quantity of
hay, however, as the fire caused an ex-
tensive glare in the southern sky. The
house of Mrs Mary Anderson, on the
east side, was struck by lightning, but
the bolt did not set fire to anything, al
though it cut some strange capers. The
bolt, it is thought, entered the house by
way of the chimney, and did more or less
damage to the plastering in two upstairs
rooms and one on the first floor before it
disappeared. One son, Martin, salesman
at E S Anderson's clothing store, was in
bed on the opposite side of the room
from the chimney, but was awake, and
says that he had feeling that the light
ming would strike the house. A wire
link from post card rack hanging on
the wall was thrown across the room and
onto the pillow only few inches from
Martins head, where it burned hole
through the pillow slip. Some of the
post cards were torn and others slightly
scorched where they came in contact
with the rack. In an adjoining room it
shattered brass knob on an iron bed
and scorched the bedding and woodwork
in its course through the room. Not only
was the plaster torn off, but lath were
broken out, one piece being thrown
down stair case.

1t appears from the latest develop
ments that the MCGOWAN injunction
case is not disposed of yet by good
deal. MCGOWAN has taken a new hold
and seems disposed to hold on tight.
Without going into the merits of the
present case, it would seem that the best
and surest way to avoid future compli-
cations of like nature would be for the
village to incorporate. The law at the
best is vague and uncertain regarding
the scope allowed officers and voters in
an unincorporated village of this size.
No special rules are made for such cases.
With incorporation the case is different.
Then the duties of the officers are plain
ly shown and the law is specific as to
what they may or may not authorize
done.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment
Halls Catarrh Cure. manufactured by
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

A M Valentine is the pioneer auto
mobilist in this locality to try the exper-
iment of mixing kerosene with gasoline.
His machine is now run by a mixture of
one-third oil and two-thirds gasoline,
and he finds that it works better than
the pure gasoline. He says that he gets
more power and burns less fuel, his gas
oline bill having been cut in half. In
order to use the mixture it was neces-
sary only to shut off the feed in the car
burator one-half Mr. Valentine was first
persuaded to try the experiment by the
assurances given by Standard Oil dis
trict agent in a conversation at Dodge
vile. This man claimed that tests made
by agents all over the country had dem
onstrated that the mixture, up to SO per
cent kerosene, would give excellent re-
suits.

Evansville

The agitation over the possible reviv-
ing the old Lake Leota has proceeded
just far enough to secure options on
about forty acres of land, which is es-
timated to be about large enough to
furnish what pleasure and enjoyment
Evansville people desire during the sum-
mer. So far, so good.
It is the consensus of opinion among
many of the farmers around Evansville
that the oat crop this season will be very
small. Although a few weeks ago the
prospects intimated that possible yield
of at least thirty bushels per acre might
be had, the many will be satisfied if they
get one-half that.
While working in the elevator pit at
the Baker Manufacturing company
Thursday afternoon, George Emerton
narrowly escaped serious damages by
the untimely fall of the elevator. He
noticed it dropping and succeeded in
getting almost clear, but was struck on
the back and limbs, bruising him quite
badly, but luckily breaking no bones.
He was taken to his home and a physi-
clan summoned who made him as com
Portable as possible. 1t was narrow
escape, however.
In company with Miss Lizzie Gilliss,
Mrs Nat Libby was looking over the new

and shoulders. Being large and heavy
woman, the fall was severe shock, but
fortunately no bones were broken, al
though she is exceedingly sore from the
results of the accident.

animal agility 1 ever saw or expect to
see. How far a sheep can jump, or
rather drop, and not hurt himself do
not know, but this was pretty good. 1

LEGAL INFORMATION.


The Court Of Appeals Of Missouri in
Usher v. Western Union Tel. Co., 90
Southwestern Reporter, 81, distin-
guishes between the liability Of a tele-
graph company for the transmission of
a forged or fraudulent telegram filed
by a stranger and the liability for the
transmission Of such a telegram forged
by its own agent. The court distin-
guishes the proposition by saying that
in the first the obligation upon the
company is that its agent would be
careful and prudent. In the second
there is an absolute assurance that the
agent acting within the apparent scope
Of his authority has not forged the
message.
The defendant, who appeared to be
one OF those quacks who advertise to
cure all manner of. diseases, had, to-
gether with others, incorporated, and
advertised that he was authorized by
law to teach the science Of healing, and
engaged offices, where 1t was shown
that people had consulted him, had
been examined and given treatment,
and had paid for the treatments aud
medicines. Defendant admitted that
he had no certificate Of medical educa-
ton, but contended that he charged no
fee for his advice, pay being taken only
for medicines furnished and work done.
This evidence before the Supreme
Court Of Rhode Island in State V. Hef-
ferman, 65 Atlantic Reporter, 284, is
held to show that the defendant had
practiced medicine In violation Of law.
The right Of a labor union under its
constitution and bylaws to procure
the dismissal OF a member from his
employment upon his suspension from
the union Is brought before the Su-
preme Court Of New Jersey In the case
of Brennan Y. United Hatters Of North
America, CD Atlantic Reporter, 165.
The court questions whether any mem
Der of union can make an agreement
that on his proper conviction, or on
charges submitted and tried in accord
ance with the unions rules, he shall
lose his place of employment and his
opportunity of gaining other employ
ment' within the unions district. The
New Jersey Bill of Rights confers on
every man the right to engage in such
lawful business as he may choose. The
right Of one seeking employment to
have every opportunity to gain it and
retain It Is as precious in the eye Of
the law as the right Of the employer.
The court holds that actions like the
present one are analogous to actions
for enticing away servants, and that
a recovery may be had.

Why Horses Shy.

The horse SHE'D at a piece Of white
paper, and the rider tuAbled OF into
the mud
1T is well for the world" said IN
automobiles, smiling, that 1t Is ceas-
ing to use the horse for a servant. The
horse Is q half blind giant with the
mind a baby. No wonder, then, that
when we trust out lives In his keeping
he Is apt to so back on Us.
His main trouble Is his eyes. So
poor is the horses sight that be mis-
takes q bank OF snow for fierce white
beast. A mud puddle at his feet is a
yawning chasm. A shadow flung
across his path is a black terror seek
ing his life; hence the weakminded,
nearaghted, powerful horse goes
through life beside himself with fear.
He Is no more to be trusted than q

monster awaiting him at every corner.

MILLIONS FOR STEEL CARS.
Pennsylvania Road to Have 2,OO0 |
Coaches of This Material.

Pennsylvania Road to Have 2,OOG
Coaches of This Material.
Within the next three years it is pro
posed to buy and construct 1000 all
steel passenger cars for the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad. This marks a complete
change In all existing standards Of pas
senger equipment and entrance into an
entirely new field, and involves a ire
mendous cash outlay, says the Phila-
delphia North American.
At present prices Of materials close
estimates put the construction cost Of
all-steel passenger cars such as it is
proposed to build at more than $4,000
each, or double the cost Of the present
standard type Of wooden car. On this
basis 1000 all-steel passenger cars will
cost $3O,OOO,0OO.
This year it is the purpose to build
about 200 steel passenger cars. Space
for construction Of 80 has been ar
ranged for with the American Car and
Foundry Company. About fifty cars
will be built in the Pennsylvania rail
road shops at Altoona.
What the Pennsylvania railroad
management Is aiming for Is to have
sufficient all-steel passenger equipment
for every train which will be operated
into the New York tunnel terminal sys-
tenn. This should be completed about
the beginning Of 1909.
Besides the coaches, baggage and
mail cars which the railroad viii sup.
ply, the Pullman company will have to
provide nearly 500 steel sleeping and
parlor cars. These will cost close to
$4,000 each.
Thus 1t appears that the Pennsylva-
MIA railroads New York tunnel termt-
nal, to be operated by such high-volt-
age electric power as to make the use
Of wooden cars too dangerous, will COM
pei an expenditure Of fully $50,0O0,000
for all-steel and non-infammable pas
senger equipment.
OF the proposed 1900 steel passen-
ger cars, 500 are for the Long Island
railroad, which will be compelled to
discard all its wooden equipment with
the opening Of the New York tunnel
terminal At the end of last year the
total passenger equipment Of the Penn
sylvania railroad system was about
$500 cars.

superstitious.

A we'll known New Yorker, while
dining at his club one evening, observed
that his order of oysters on the shell
was not complete, there being only
eleven bivalYes instead Of the dozen it
was bis custom to order. On rejecting
that his waiter, an Irishman, was
newcomer, he decided to let the matter
pass, but when on the next evening the
same thing occurred he became a trife
impatient.
"See here" exclaimed he to the wait
er, what do you mean by bringing me
eleven oysters when I order twelve?
This IS the second time that this thing
has happened"
I"Sure, sir" quietly responded the
Celt, 81 didn't think you would want to
risk being thirteen at table, sir"

FOR VALIANT SERVICE.



Not long ago there died a grandson
of John Paulding, one of the three
brave young men who captured Major
Andre, and thereby saved the country
from the consequences Of a conspiracy.
Every American citizen knows the
story Of that nights adventure, but
not everyone knows Of the country g
expression OF gratitude.
On Sept. 26, 1880, George Washing
ton wrote q letter which contained the
following extract:
81 do not know the party that took
General Andre, but 1t Is said to have
consisted only Of militia who acted
IN such q manner as does them the
highest honor, and prove them to be Of
the highest virtue. Their conduct gives
them just claim to the thanks Of the
country, and I also hope they will be
otherwise rewarded"
Another record tells the sequel:
Whereas, Congress having received
information that John Paulding, David
William and Isaac Van Vert, three
young militiamen Of the State OF New
York, did, on the 23d day OF septenn-
Der las, intercept Major John Andre
In the character Of a spy, and, not
wdthstandlng large brides offered them
for his release, nobly disdaining TO sac
rifce their country for the sake Of
gold, secured and conveyed him to the
commanding officer Of the distrlct.
Resolved, That Congress have a
high sense Of the virtuous and patri-
otic conduct OF said John Paulding.
David Williams and Isaac Van Wart.
'In testimony thereof
Ordered, That each Of them receive
annually, out Of the public treasury,
two hundred dollars specie during life,
and that the Board Of War procure for
each OF them a silver medal"
The medals bestowed on the patriots
bore the word Fidelity" two branches,
one Of laurel and one Of palm, and the
motto, "Yincit Amor Patriee" Glove
Of Country Conquers).
