RI. TO TRY MOTOR CAR.
German Type Soon to Have Test
of the Indidnola Branch,

Local railroad men, and the travelling
public in general, are much interested
in the search of the railroads for a
practical motor car. The latest devel-
opement in this direction lies in the
fact that the management of the Rock
Island road is having a steam motor
car constructed which is expected to
revolutionize transportation methods on
branch lines. The new car, which
burns anthracite coal and is operated
by one man, is a product of Germany
and is known as the CAM motor. 1t is
called 'self-contained" steam motor
and is guaranteed to do just what the
railroad arrangements have been trying
to get motor car to do.
The Rock Island will receive the car
within a few days and will place it in
service between Des Moines and India
nola, distance of % miles. 1t is stat
ed that the car is in use in Germany
and in Australia. The guarantee is for
car which shall contain steam motor
of SO horsepower capable of maintain
ing speed Of 30 miles an hour on a
level track.
The car is of steel construction
throughout, will seat - people in the
main portion, contains smoking com
partment capable of seating 16 people,
baggage room seven feet long and
motor compartment of the same length.

HOW AUGUST GOT ITS NAME.
Augustus Changed it From Sextills
and Added Ddy.

In the old Roman calendar August,
which was then the sixth month of the
series, bore the name Sextilis. julius
Caesar, in reforming the calendar. ex-
tended it from its twenty-nine DAYS to
a month of thirty days. When, not long
after, Augustus Caesar, nephew of the
great Julius. conferred on this month
his own name to give it proper dignity
he took one day from February and
added it to August, which has ever
since consisted of thirty-one days.
Augustus was born in September and it
might have been expected that he
would take that month under his patron
age. But number of lucky things had
happened to him in August and, besides,
that month stood next to that of his
illustrious predecessor, julius. So he
preferred Sextilis as the month which
should be honored by his name, and
August it has ever since been among all
nations deriving their civilization from
Rome.

Orison Longs Terrible Fall.

Mr.. O. S. Long, of this city will have
the distinction the rest of his life of
having sustained the greatest fall of
any man in Shenandoah without being
killed.
Monday forenoon he climbed upon
the roof of his store building corner of
Sheridan avenue and Blossom street.
using ladder for the purpose. The
rear part of the building is only one
story high and Mr.. Long got on that
part first, then set the ladder up against
the wall of the second story and climbed
up. The top of the ladder did not reach
to the top of the wall but he reached up
with his hands and caught hold of the
fire wall and climbed over onto the
main roof After completing the work
he went to do he undertook to climb
down. He got on the fire wall and was
trying to reach the top of the ladder
with his feet when the wall gave way
and toppled over with him to the roof
below. AS he fell he struck his leg
across the edge of the side wall on the
Blossom street side, breaking both bones
just above the ankle. From here he
fell to the cement walk below, where he
struck on his hip and back.
One OF the toes on the other leg was
broken anu ne was terribly bruised on
his body and hips. He was unconscious
for few moments. He was taken at
once to his home on Elm street where
Drs. Aldrich and Sandy set the broken
bones and made him as comfortable as
possible. The break on his leg was
bad one, the bones protruding through
the flesh, but the gravest fears were
felt lest he might be dangerously hurt
internally. However, the indications
are today that he has suffered no in
juries beyond those mentioned and in
the course of a few weeks he will be
around again.
Mr.. Long is large man, weighing
perhaps 200 pounds, troubled some with
rheumatism and it seems miraculous
that he could take such a fall and
escape with his life. The first fall to
where he struck across the corner of
brick wall was at least twelve feet and
from there to the pavement below was
fourteen feet. He turned one complete
somersault in the air and when he Law
on the walk his feet were out on the
grass about twelve feet from the build
ing.
Mrs. Long heard him fall and was one
Of the first persons to reach him and it
is needless to say that she was almost
scared out of her Shenandoah
Sentinel-Post.

WHY JOHNSON CRIED.
There's an End to All Good
Things, and That Was
the Reason He Wept.

When Nat Johnson got back from the
Maine woods last summer, he told his
friends that for the first time since he
was child, he sat down and cried
AS he put it, "There l was way off in
the wilderness, and | had smoked my
last Wadsworth Bros "Chico," and
knew | couldn't get another until l

1t is strange what hold the Wads-
worth Bros "Chicos' get on man.
They are absolutely free from all artiti-
cial flavoring, just the natural flavor of
the pure Havana leaf, like that of 25c.
Carolina perfecto. They burn evenly,
with solid white ash that stays on as
all good cigar ashes should.
Bell & Robinson have the local
agency for the "Chicos,' and can now
sell genuine long fill Havana cigar
for DC. that is better than any of the 1Oc
smokes on the market. There is nc
"six-for-a-quarter" about the "Chicos;
they are straight 5c.-worth 10c. Try

was purchased by Mr.. John H. Mil

when he secured lot of the bivalves
in the shell yesterday from a dealer.
While opening the oysters, Mr.. Mil

the shells. 1t was alive and he car
ried it to the museum. 1t was
placed in an aquarium, and today
is reported to be well and thriving"

New Flower Holders.

The newest flower holders for the
table are beautiful vases in the shape
of cups in gold and silver, mother of
pearl, enamel, etc. The idea seems
to be to keep the design quite simple.
Some of these vases come down to
very slender stem and undercut with
a fairly large cup. This is favorite
design for the silver vases. Among
the onyx and enamel cups the de-
signs are even more cup-shaped. One
such cup, in white porcelain, was
supported by a gold frame with four
feet. Others have a single standard.
The loving cup and baskets of last
year are decidedly passe.

tanned in ordinary bread as the re-
suit of the Preventative process to
which it is subjected before baking.
Evidently the quantity is small, but
until recently, 1t would appear, chem
lists have not succeeded in accurately
measuring it. Now, however, it is
announced that DR.. o. Pohl, by an
elaborate process based upon the dis
tillation of the bread to be tested in
a Papin digester, has ascertained that
ordinary bread normally contains
.O753 of a gram of alcohol for every
100 grams of bread or little more
than seven parts in 10000. 1t Is
we'll to be precise even in small
things.
