A freight conductor on this line,
Joe Boiler, last Tuesday fell be-
tween two freight cars while his
train was running at high speed.
He was walking on top of the cars,

ground and six freight cars and the
caboose passed over him. He got
a few severe bruises, but was not
seriously hurt. Narrow escape,

SEPARATOR and TWO
WHEAT STACKS BURNED

While threshing on the farm of
VIM. Kruger last Tuesday John
Kingsreiter and Herman Paetznick
suffered the loss of their separator
by fire and Mr.. Kruger two large
stacks of wheat. The engine was
being fired with flax straw and the
strong wind prevailing at the time
carried the sparks directly over the
stacks. The machine was a brand
new one and altho the engineer was
successful in coupling to it, it was
wedged between the stacks so tight
that it could not be moved. The
wheat was of extra good quality
and with the high price prevailing
at this time makes the loss a seri-

Newport has done so many wild

MAKING CLOTH FROM PAPER.

ITO the ingenuity of Herr mil Claw
iez. well known Saxon inventor and
manufacturer. is due the production OF
a paper yarn termed 'Zylolin,' that has
been successfully used in a wide range
of textile fabrics" So writes Frank
y. Bauskett in the Technical World
Magazine for August
THE utilization of paper wood fibre
in this practical way and the extreme
cheapness OF the new material com
pared with other yarns now in use is
really most remarkable achievement
This Is not a haphazard discovery, but
rather the logical result of years of
painstaking study and experimental
ton. After the final development OF
the theory at first in mind into tangi-

has become an important commercial
success. The paper yarn has eXtraor-
binary wearing properties. and as the
full scope OF its usefulness has'probab-
ly not been determined, il will in all
likelihood. lend itself to other purposes

The writer follows fhis introduction
with an excellent article on the new
invention and the new fabric.

WAKING UP THE TOWN.

That absurd story from Texas about

been authoritatiyely contradicted. al

The incident recalls a story told re-

years ago who declared his town was

wake IL up. He was correspondent for
New York daily and he sent IL dis
patch saying that off in the hills a
British party of hunters had been
massacred by Indians. Their names
could not be ascertained. but among
them was a distinguished nobleman.
That was the story. and naturally 1t
went in big type. 1t made a sensation.
The British embassy at Washington
dispatched a representative to find out
who was killed and to care for the
bodies. But the bodies were never
found. nor was any nobleman missing.
