GULF R. R.
Securing Right-of-way for the
Yankton and Gulf
Railroad.

Wausa, Neb,, April 17.-Repesenta-
tives of the Yankton, Norfolk and Gulf
railroad are in this vicinity contracting
with the famers for right of way and
are meeting with some little difficulty
in securing such contracts for the
reason that the farmers have been
fooled once or twice before on this same
proposition and they say that when the
railroad managers come with the
money in hand they will make con-
tracts with them, and not before.
There are two SURVEYS of the pro
posed new road, one following almost
entirely the old Yankton and Norfolk
grade and the other making new
route. The right of way on the new
routes which would miss Wausa about
a mile and half and would mean a
new town or perhaps two, one on each
side of Wausa.
Some people here are aroused over
this turn of affairs, but the wiseacres
of the town are saying that it is all a
bluff and that the new road will ask the
town for bonus of several thousand
dollars, and If secured will build a de-
pot here.
The general opinion seems to be that
II the Hill interests are back of the new
road il will De built in the near future.

ST. GAUDENS COINS NOT
CONVENIENT FOR HANDLING

the st. Gaudens coins would topple
over.
1t was ST. Gaudens idea which
found especial favor with President
Roosevelt, to return to the classical
style of coinage. Ancient coins are
mostly remarkable for strange pro-
jections of the sculptured form. But
in the ancient world banking and the
handling of immense sums of money
in the manner of to-day were un-
known.
The designs made by st. Gaudens
have been pronounced extremely beau
tiful The American Numismatic So
ciety has urgently advocated more
artistic scheme of coinage than that
which has been in use in the United
States for half a century or more.
st. Gaudens, under the provisions of
the act of congress authorizing the
new coinage, retained the chief gen.
eral characteristics of the old pieces,
but gave them in addition an artistic
realization.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue Is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies q
prominent place In the curriculum OF
every medical school. and when strict.
ly analysed professional etiquette
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col.
lectively.'
Among the things that lis best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what 1t is taking for It's ills, but fore.
ing call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing Of prescriptions In Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had 1t last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and SO each time you are forced to &C
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee--in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from II, etc. IL will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics OF
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one Of the rules Of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call In the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any OF
the other ills to which human flesh Is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin, and you take this, to you, mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, II you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. II is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right 1t
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription In
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having 1t
refilled

M EW designs for coins which were
~ to have been minted in Philadel-
phia which Augustus st. Gaudens, the
distinguished sculptor, made shortly
before his DEATH have been found I'M
suitable in their present shape for
execution with the machinery in use
at the mint Hence, contrary to a
current report, the government has
not accepted any of them. The gen
eral approval which was expressed by
the president is not conclusive in an
official sense. The law requires that
they shall be accepted by the secre-
tary of the treasury and the director
of the mint before being adopted.
The projection of the sculptures
upon the coins is too high for con-
venience of handling at banks or
other large business establishments.

one will lie perfectly fiat and snug

cHAMols JACKETS ARE NEW.
Novelty That Leaped at Once Into
Popular Favor.

Chamois leather jackets are among
the novelties offered by the leading
and exclusive couturieres, who are
ever on the lookout for something
new" wherewith to adorn the persons
of their fair clients. The skin chosen
is as fine and as thin as can be, and Is
not, in consequence, as warm as
leather usually is.
The chamois skin coats are loose
little affairs, smartly shaped to the
figure at the back, the fronts opening
to reveal a perfect dream of a
blouse" a frothy mass of lace, fine
lawn or mousseline de sole.
Some of these coats have the
sleeves slashed up the inner seam to
reveal the dainty, frilly blouse sleeve
beneath. Others, again, are sleeve
less.
This soft, pliable skin takes dye
beautifully and it is toned to match
exactly with the graceful. flowing
skirt OF rnousseline or crepe de chine
with which 1t is worn.

She Exnerinentad.

A little girl OF five was taken to

THE BIOLOGICAL BUREAU
DEFENDS HAWKS and OWLS

A DEFENSE of hawks and owls is
"A entered into by the biological sur
vey in a recent report from that bu-
reau. 1t is declared that both of these
bird families have been condemned by
the farmers of the country without
discrimination because some of their
species are destroyers of valuable
things. Mitigating circumstances are
found for some otherwise harmless
birds because of lack of proper food
in the country where they live.
Incidentally, tales of eagles carry
ing off children are declared to have
little foundation in fact" but the bald
eagle, the emblem of the United
States, is, nevertheless, said to be
unfortunately fond of lambs, pigs

and poultry, and in the more thickly
inhabited regions probably does as
much damage as the golden eagle"
The golden eagle, say the experts, has
been known to attack calves and colts
and to have carried away from one
range in the west in single year
more than 400 lambs.
The report of the survey divides
the hawk and owl families into four
general species as follows: Species
wholly beneficial; those chiefly bene-
fetal; those in which beneficial and
harmful qualities about balance; harm
full species. Some of these birds may
be good citizens in one locality and
extremely undesirable citizens" in an
other.

SENATE "THIRSTS" COST
$76 APIECE LAST YEAR
III AsHINGToN. - Senators are a

WASHINGTON. = Senators are a
W thirsty lot The report of Charles
G. Bennett, secretary of the United
States senate, shows that during the
last fiscal year that august body con-
sumed $50 cases of mineral water
costing $4,504.70. Then there was
$2,025.S7 for carbonized mineral water,
and $31S.97 for lemons and sugar for
the famous senate lemonade, making
total of $6,S49.54 for drinkables, and
not drop of anything hard" as far
as the official list shows. Since there
are 80 senators, the per capita con-
sumption is about $76. 1t should be
remembered also that while there
are some senators who drink a great
deal of mineral waters there are also
some who drink very little, and there
is much curiosity here as to who drank
the most last year.
But why in the name of all that is
supplementary did any senator
need skirt trunk" costing $26.70?
The official list of expenditures makes
no explanation of this interesting item.
Another peculiar item is that of COS
metique, AZ cents" and it is thought
this may have been incurred about
the same time as the skirt trunk.
An echo of the good old days when
the senators received free transporta-
ton from the railroads and
were thus enabled to pocket the
20 cents mile allowed by the
government is contained in the item
