HUNTING WOLVES
 BY LOCOMOTIVE

DULUTH, Oct. 17.-Wolf hunting with locomotives has been successful ly attempted in St. Louis county and hereafter the rife, poisoned meat and house officials and they insisted that Mir. Curry tell them how he got the wolf or they would think he was stringing them.
 The engineer took the chafing in good part and related his wolf hunt presented wolf pelt at the county auditors office for which he collected bounty of $I5. He declares in writ ing, across the face of his certificate. that the animal was killed by a locomo- tive
 The statement that the wolf came to it's death by so unusual method attracted the interest of the court traps will be tame methods of killing the willy animals.
 J. H. Curry a well known locomo- tive engineer on the Iron Range road, is the first man to introduce the new method of wolf hunting 10 the nim- rods of the county, Mr Curry has story.
 According to his story he was pull ing train through the town of St Louis the other day when he discov- cred wolf trotting along the railroad track near post G3. Here was an op- portunity of testing the wolfs speed, with the possible chance of landing the animal and collecting the $15 bounty, so Engineer Curry let the To- comotive out a little. As he gained on the wolf he opened both steam cocks and the cloud of white yapor seemed to confuse the wolf and it be- gan to jump uncertainty from the road bed to the side of the track and back again. Just as the engine was upon the animal it jumped to one side of the track, but Engineer Curry, IOath to lose the wolf after so long a chase, jumped down on the step of his loco motive and, leaning out as far as he could, he gave the animal a kick un- der the head as the big machine swept by. The impetus Of the blow carried the wolf under the wheels of the en- zine and it was killed.
 Engineer Curry disclaims any cred it for the new method of wolf hunting He claims that he simply followed out the suggestion of a brother engineer on the Iron Range road, who few days before the incident described, tOIu MT. TuLIy ol "Oli ne utl hlliSu with his engine in Lake county, by first. confusing the animal with the opening of the steam cocks.
 Mir. Curry says he did not believe the story at the time it was told by his friend. but that when he, Curry, saw wolf on the track in front of his own engine, it occurred to him to try the plan the other engineer suggest ed. He is now firmly convinced that the locomotive is the proper thing with which to hunt wolves in Northern Minnesota.

THE DRUG STORE.
Its Evolution From the Apotheearies of
 the Colonies.

Its Evolution From the Apotheearies of
 the Colonies.
 During the seventeenth century the druggist came to America and closely followed English precedents, modify Ing them, however, by the practice of the Indians, with whom he came in contact Quack apothecaries began to spring up in the new land, and in 1636 the colony of Virginia passed law which among other things regulated the prices and fees of the druggist. At this time it was fashionable for the druggists to practice surgery in ad-- dition to pharmacy. and the Virginia colony contained a large number of people who were proficient in both pro fessioDs. In Massachusetts the busi- ness was largely in the hands of Indians, schoolmasters, old women and teachers. The Salem witchcraft de- fusion retarded the spread of the drug gist for some time in the Bay State, for the popular impression fastened on the apothecaries a suspicion that they sold the potions that were supposed to produce the spells. Among those who suffered persecution at this time mixers of medicine appear to have teen prominent.
 The drug shop had not yet become a distinct institution. It was usually branch of the grocery or spice busi- ness. In 1e47 one Giles FoTman oi Boston. had. however. firmly estab- Iished himself as devoting special at tention to pharmacy. Tn 164S the first distinctive drug store in America was opeHed 10 Boston by William Davies -LIppiDcotfs.

Prof. James Douglas, president of the Fl Paso Sc Southwestern railroad. accompanied by his daughter. Miss Douglas, arrived in Fl Paso from Ari- zona by special train this morning and are spending the day in this city. Walter Douglas, son of President Douglas, ,and second vice president of the Northwestern. arrived Yester- day. He was accompanied by his fam fly, who left for New York in his private car on No. yesterday even ing, but he remained here and will make a trip over the eastern division of the road with his father.
 q am just out on an inspection trip over the system" said President Doug las to a News representative, "and will leave this evening for a run over the eastern division. I came out from New York about ten days ago and will return when I get through with the business which came out to look after, but I do not know when that will be.
 ''We are planning many decided im- proVements in the Southwestern, both in relation to the road and the service. The roadbed will be made better and much new equipment will be added. We have been under a heavy strain with the terrific amount of business we have been doing, but the strain is now over, the bloekades have been substantially cleared away and We have found a breathing spell in which to look into matters and see what is needed and get it.
 "Six new engines are now on the way for the yards at various points on the system. They will take the places of road engines now being used in yard service, so that the latter can be placed back on the road where they belong and are badly needed. Alto gether we have thirty-five new engines ! coming, besides much other new train equipment
 "yVe expect to get moved into our new office zailding here BTEe tims next month That will be great re lief to us.

 have evidence of this in the fact that they are buying postal money orders payable to themselves at any time within year. Italians, for ex- ample, have come to the department in cases of loss by fire and have shown proof sufficient to satisfy us that they had purchased money o. ders payable to themselves. Our ob- ject is to btsng hidden money to light, to instill life into it and to lead it again into the channels of trade, for the mutual benefit of la bor and capital and thus add to the prosperity throughout the land.
 Furthermore. We should encour- age the foreigner to deposit his earn ings. because after he has accumu- lated a few hundred dollars he will not be content to receive merely a ? per cent interest, but will seek to purchase a home; and the moment he acquires real property in this country he becomes a better citizen, is more actively interested in the af, fairs of the nation and at the same time places himself and his depend ents beyond the likelihood of be- coming public charges.
 Tt is proposed to bring this money into circulation by asking authority from congress to place the deposits in national banks of the country, not merely in a few financial centers, but in the banks of the district where the money has been deposited. have been assured by prominent presidents of national banks that the POstoffice Department may count on receiving for such money turned over to them a rate of interest vary ing from 2 to 3 per cent. The de- pertinent would guarantee the depOs- itor 2 per cent, or per cent semi annually. Thus evidence is given to the savings bank that We are not in competition with them and that our business would in no wise affect their deposits. their rates being usually from to 4 per cent.
 'Tt will be the policy of the de- partment to simplify in every way the registry and money order sys- tens. so that less time may be con sumed in registering letters nd ob- taining money orders.
 q find that there is q great de mand from the public for postal notes. and it is the purpose of the department to recommend such paper in denominations of 10. 20, 25, 90, 40. 50. 60. 70. so, 90. cents and ST. and up to $2.5O It is the intention to have the notes payable to the party designated. A small fee will be charged. but time will be saved! as no advices are to be sent. From l cent to 9 cents the notes will be made payable to bearer and no fee will be charged"

WATER FOR INDIANS.

(PhoeuiX DemOcrat)
 Fl. F. Robinson, the superintend- ent of irrigation for the Indian ser vice, is in town to see about the es- tabhshment of an irrigation system for the Indians at the Sacaton agen- cy, and will be here for some time to come
 The first proposition with regard to the Sacaton Indians was that they should be taken into tke Water Users association and have a simi- lar irrigation system to the one now in use among their white brethren. But after comforting with the recla- nation officials, Superintendent Rob anson has hit upon a plan which seems more feasible in that it will be less expensive both to the Indians and to the rest of the valley gener- ally.
 His idea Is to sell power instead of water to the Indians If power is furnished to them. they can operate wells of their own upon the reserva- ton, and can do it at less expense. it is cianmed. than it would cost to buy water and stand the loss through leakage from the d.tches.
 Furthermore, the present water users would suffer no loss whatever, as the water for the use Of the In dians would come from their own reservation and not from the river. This seems to be the most feasible plan yet advanced. and it is said to meet with the entire approval of the reclamation service.
 This is the first visit which Rob- inson has paid to the valley for over two years. During that time he has spent a considerable part of h.s time among the Indians of New Mexico, and also built canI for the Black. feet agency in Montana, which sup plies irrigating water to over e500 Indiana.

GOT HIS REVENGE.
The Way Lord Brousham Paid His
 Debt to George IV.

The Way Lord Broueham Paid Ills
 Debt to George IV.
 With all of his knowledge and talent Lord Erougham was eccentric and slovenly in his personal habits. While he was young and comparatively unknown barrister he was asked to dinner at which the prince regent presided. MT. Brougham's hands needed washing. The regents keen eyes rested on them. He beekoned to a waiter and gave an order which the man heard with a scared face, and then going out he speedily returned fowel.
 He carried them to Brougharn, pre- scntlng them with the prince regents compliments. The barrister instantly withdrew and never afterward re- ferred to the insult.
 Years later. when the prince, now king, tried to divorce his wife, Brough- ham, as her defender, so vehement ly sustained her cause that she triumphed. The kings name was not mentioned during the trial, though thg nation knew that he was secretly the prosecutor. BrOugham in his speech declared that he saw in the distance the nameless prosecutor of his inno- cent client. quoting with terrific effect MiltOn's words:

 A man walking along the Missabe tracks near Proctor yesterday after noon was run down by a heavily load ed train and his body fearfully man cled. His arm was nearly torn from the socket, the face crushed and both lower limbs torn from the trunk. In spite of these terrible wounds the man retained consciousness and was brought to this city on freight train.

Students Educate One Another.

From Success Magazine.
It is a great thing for hundreds OF splen-
did young men from all over the country
to be thrown intimately together at the
age of the greatest expectancy, when lifo
promises so much. at an age when youths
are fun Of hope and ambition, and feel
strong and vigorous. There Is an untold
advantage In the growth and expansion
which come from the constant measuring
of mind with mind. the attrition Of mentali-
ties the measuring OF brain power, the
comparing Of ability, of experiences, tho
tempering. the constant drill in self-mas-
terry, self-sacrifice. the constant prodding OF
ambition. the squirting of tagging energy.
All these things are of untold advantage.
/ believe that the advantages OF Nero
book learning In college are overestimated
That is. 1 believe that a great deal OF what
is attributed to the studies themselves
comes from the association of the stu
dents.
We hear a great deal about the develop
ment Of personal power In solitude; but.
while a certain amount OF this is neceg-
sary yet there IL no substitute for the
growth and education which come from in
innate association with human beings.
AS a rule. the men who pay their own
way through college are the most success
full because they are the most practical
men. On the other hand. every man who
has to devote a great deal of his time To
paying his way suffers an immense loss
from the lack of larger association with
the students.

FASHIONS CALENDAR.
Five Seasons Instead Of Four In
Fashion Year.

Instead of but four there are now five
seasons in every year, SO far as the clothes
question Is concerned, and while the fifth
outfit to be provided Is Of comparatively
recent origin, 1t is nevertheless, every bit
as necessary and important as any Of the
others This last Is the southern trousseau,
for It is no longer fashionable to be able to
stand one climate for any appreciate
length of time, and even a few degrees diff
ference in temperature calls for a different
style of costume.
The style Of the outfit must, Of course. be
governed by the part of the south one in
tends to visit. and as there are many places
that are not really in the south, and yet
have a milder climate than this. medium
weight costumes are essential. The far
Their south one travels the fewer wraps are
necessary and the more thin summer gowns
II a change Of air, rather than a change
Of climate. is sought, then some spot is
selected where the weather Is sprtnglike
rather than actually hot. and costumes OF
medium weight are called for. The spring
suit, for example, can just as well be pur-
chased now as later, for spring models are
to be had at every taiIor's, and there are
department stores. Straw hats also can
be purchased now at all millinery, and
| thin waists for the medium-weight white
or colored cloth or serge skirt are on sale
throughout the entire winter.
The lightweight cloth suits that are now
on view are of all possible models, no one
style seeming more popular than another.
Once again IL seen the long, plain jacket,
| with short plated skirt and this style OF
suit has altered only so as to be In keeping
with the prevailing fashions. The jacket
| is some inches shorter than formerly and
| is either close or semi-6tting. with fitted or
box front. Since designed primarily for a
useful morning dress. long sleeves are most
/, sensible, and the plain ieg-o'-mutton Of
medium fullness are best. II in plain cloth
or serge the collar. revers and cuffs may be
Of cloth some few shades lighter than the
suit ITSELF In blue or brown chevict. for
example, the suit will be considerably
frightened by light blue or tan at the neck
and wrists.
For evening wear at this time Of year q
theater or light reception gown y perfectiy
correct, unless q low gown Is called for, In
which case the winter evening dresses OF
silk. satin or lace will serve the purpose.
Naturally, II one does not have to econo-
mize. it Is delightful to purchase new and
expensive costumes on all possible occa-

sions, but there are many times when Old
dresses may be worm
The most important dress for any part
of the south is a white flannel or serge
suit. This may be made very much on the
style of the dark cloth suit, or may be on
a more elaborate order, with short embroid-
cred jacket instead of the long plain coat.
White serge. with broadcloth collar and
cuffs is attractive. and lingerie collars are
also worn. Instead OF white. light blue,
pale green or mauve will be worn to some
extent for this style OF gown or suit. or
course, the light colors are apt to fade, but
they will not soil SO readily as white, so
that it amounts to about the same thing in
the end
Even If one Is not going south. 1t is
worth while to keep track of the spring
sales going on everywhere, for often
most attractive frock can be purchased
ahead Of time for quite little less than
would be asked for 1t at the height Of the
season.

Japanese Copper Mining.
q the Engineering Magazine.


Near the center of the beautiful noun
tain island Of Shikoku, and standing rather
more than 1000 feet above the waters of
the inland sea Of Japan, there Is a peak
of sulphide copper ore which has become
center Of industry popularity known
throughout the island empire as Sumitomo
Bessi. Here, for centuries before the in
dustrial development of the new world was
begun by white men. the Japanese were
mining in q crude way and carrying the
ore on their backs in small wicker baskets
(such as are still used for coaling ships at
Nagasaki) down the twelve miles OF ar
duous mountain paths to the smelters on
the shore OF the inland sea.
Today the marvellous little workers are
still at the pursuit of burrowing out the
mountain, but a vast change has come
over the methods Of working. Where In
the ancient times only q paltry few hum
dred baskets Of ore were each day borne
over the difficult trails, an output OF 5000
tons daily. now glides down great cable
way, and is carried from the foot of the
slope by railroad to the sea. In short,
there Is established at SumttoaAu Bessf q
modern mining plant. modern in all es-
sential details Of engineering construction,
and the wonder Of the transformation To
that 1t has been wrought without the d.
rect assistance Of q single foreign engineer.
