Facts About Lodaller's Dam.

She had great beauty, and speed far
beyond her record, as is proven in her
wonderful series of split-heat races in
her last campaign over the half-nile
tracks at Appleton, Berlin and Beaver
Dam, where the great trotter, Chain
Shot, 2:O64, had to take second place to
her after five heats. Mr.. 7. L. New

her: 1 saw the race between Lodina
She was doing it for fun and liked #.
She was great race mare. 2 Bred to
Allerton the next season, Loaina raised
Lodaller and he raced last fall at the
fair just as Lodina did at Beaver Dam.
He could out speed and out stay the
stations pitted against him, as well as
Baker & Curtin's mare that made
such determined move in the last heat
after taking it easy in the early part
of the race.

crease in establishments.

Washington.-That the cost of milk,
and particularly cream, has advanced
enormously since 1900 as the result
Of the curtailment of supply to the
factory and the increasing market in
the large cities Is indicated in a cen
sus bulletin relative to the manufac-
ture of butter, cheese, condensed milk,
flour and gristmill products and starch
for 1905.
A substantial increase In the manu-
facturelof all these products is shown
since 1900, except starch, which de-
clined markedly. Cost Of cream in
creased 247.9 and milk 81 per cent.
The statistics given include only such
establishments as were engaged pri-
marily in these industries, plants en-
gagged primarily in selling milk or in
separating cream from milk not being
regarded as engaged in manufacture
ing.
According to the statement there
were 1925 establishments engaged in
the butter, cheese and condensed milk

adjustments Was principally due to
the consolidation or absorption OF
smaller creameries into larger plants.
The hand separator, which enables the
farmer to separate his own cream,
was prominent factor In this ten
dency to Capitalization, enabling cas-.
Ter handling and making it possible
for a single creamery to obtain its sup.
ply from wide territory. AS a result
the larger plants, in which butter was
manufactured at less expense, gradu-
ally crowded out or absorbed smaller
plants.
The total cost of materials increased
over 81 per cent. There was a de
crease of 121,T07,811 pounds, or Ia

RAILS WILL SCALE PEAK.
Project for Electric Line to Top Of
Famous Matterhorn.

Genera. - A daring engineering
scheme is attracting attention here.
Two engineers we'll known for their
work in designing mountain railroads
have applied to the federal council
for a fraMhise to construct a railway
from Zermatt to the top of the Matter
horn.
rachel track front the viege-Zermatt
station to the Lac Noir (2,50s meters),
tunneling through the Hoernli peak
and two funicularres from the refuge
station to the summit (3,052 meters),
the latter being constructed in tun
mel with a, gradient of IS to 80 pei
cent. The whole system is to be cleo
trical.
The promoters intend to construct
buildings at the summit sufficient tc
accommodate number of visitors, in
GLIDING, if feasible, a compressed ali
room for persons who suffer from
mountain sickness. 1t is estimated
that it will require four years to con
struct the railroad, and that it will
cost 10,OO0,OOO francs. The journey
from Zermatt to the summit will re
qsire one hour and SO minutes and
will cest SO francs. At present the
ascent takes "a hours, and charges FOL
guides amount to 1870 francs.
Alpinists oppose the project on the
ground that it would make one of the
most difficult peaks in Switzerland ac
cessihle to every tourist, and the Fri.

pine club have issued appeals against
it,

VETERAN COUGHS ue BULLET.
supposed Victim Of Consumption Re.
covers After Experience.

Plainfield, N. IA violent fit Of
coughing, physicians say, saved the
life of Caleb Muir, veteran of the
civil war, residing at Four Corners,
near here.
Muirs case probably is without
parallel in medical records. Thirty
years or more Muir has been pointed
out as victim of lingering con-
sumption" His death was expected
at any time. Grown up men had
heard when they were boys Muir was
in the firm grasp Of the dread disease.
But Muir lived on. Three weeks
ago he had one of his sinking spells
accompanied by a violent fit of cough
ing. Muir coughed up a lead bullet
weighing half an ounce.
The veteran has fully recovered,
and says he never felt better in his
life. In three weeks he has gained
eight pounds. The past 80 years doc
tors have been treating him for con-
sumption.
The bullet in Muir's body is one of
three received when he was with the
union cavalry under Gen. Philip Sher-
Eidan in the Shenandoah valley. He
was shot in the body three times, the
bullets entering near the lungs.
After being wounded he was taken
to hospital in Washington, where
two of the bullets were removed
while the one which he has coughed
up was overlooked by the hospital
corps.
