The Lancet of London. leading

is quoted as saying that the efferves-

digestion In two ways-first, by the
carbonlc- acid acting as a stimulant to
the movement OF the stomach. and,
second, by assisting in the disintegra.
ton of the contents OF the stomach; {.

To Satisfy a Gr"dqe.

Sir Thomas Upton, apropos OF
bachelhood and marriage, said in an
afterdinner speech in Chicago:
Bachelors. | admit. are villains,
but It is a shame to play such tricks
on them as it is customary to do.
"A nasty trick was played on a
bachelor friend of mine at dance.
A lady was reproaching him for never
having married. when her husband,
a little bored. perhaps, said grufiiy:
He says he could have cut me
out and married you II he wanted to.
THE lady started.

he do it, them

BEWARD Of $500
FOR TRAIN WREGKERS
Keystone Express Narrowly Es-
capes a 40Fout Plunge.
REMOVED FROM RAILS
Serious Disaster yerted on the Penn
sylvania Only by Speed Having
Been Reduced to About Thirty
Miles an Hour. sos 124leJ

Pittsburg.-The Pennsylvania on
Gals in Pittsburg made an appeal to
the county authorities in running
down the band of train wreckers who
derailed the Keystone Express near
Turtle Creek. Rewards aggregating
$500 have been offered by the COM
pany for the arrest of the wreckers.
The place where the wreck occurred
is within the confines of Allegheny
County, and County Detective George
Waggoner at once put four men on
the case.
At the same time an appeal was
made to the Police Department of
Pittsburg asking that detectives be
put at work in the city, where, it is
believed, the wreckers are now in
hiding.
The railroad offeials believe this
wreck and that of the Chicago Linn
tied were the work of employees dis
charged some time ago.and who were
known to have made threats against
the company. Ag
Train No. 20 of the PENNSYLVANIA.
known as the keystone Express, east
bound, was derailed near Wilmerd-
ing, Pa. fourteen miles east of this
city. The engine, two mail cars, and
2 combination baggage and smoker,
left the tracks, but nc. one was hurt.
The train was derailed by wreck
ers, and it Is believed that the same
persons who wrecked the Chicago
Limited at Stewart are responsible
for this work.
The Pennsylvania oficials an
nouneed that the company will pay a
reward Of $4,000 for the arrest and
conviction Of the persons guilty of
wrecking the Keystone Express and
$4,000 for the arrest and conviction
of the persons responsible for the de-
railing of the Chicago Limited. In
addition, the company offers $500
for information leading to. the arrest
OF the guilty person or persons.
The same plan was carried out and
only the slow speed of the train,
thirty miles an hour, saved it. from
turning over and diving over a steep
bank. The work Of the wreckers was
thorough, for on bothsthe east-bound
and West-bound tracks one. rail joint
was displaced. The d~isplacementS
were only a few rods apart.
Following the derailment the pas
sengers rushed out in their, night
clothes. When they. discovered that
there was no immediate danger they
returned to the cars. "A hasty exam
nation disclosed the fact that the
crime had been committed by men so
familiar with the signal mechanism
that, while the rails had been discon-
nected, the signals continued to indi-
cate safe. The outside rail held
against the grinding of the heavy
train and prevented the whole train
from plunging over a forty-foot en-
bankment into the river. 3dfs-
Near by, OF the tracks, we're found
. track wrench and a pair of gloves,
while in the river below were a crow
bar, nuts, bolts and fsh-plates.

BOOM IN MAPLE SUGAR.
Pure Food Laws Have Eliminated
Rivals of the Honest Farmer.

Swanto, VT. III Ideal weather for
starting the sap in the sugar maple
trees of this State has prevailed for
the past few days. While few farm
iers who own extensive maple or
chards have tapped their trees, prep
a~rations have been made for one of
the most profitable easons in years.
The pure food laws recently passed
have practically killed the competi-
ton Of dealers. manufacturing adul-
terated or imitation maple sugar and
syrup, and already buyers from New
York and Boston and other large
cities are on the scene offering twelve
and thirteen cents a pound for sugar.
Most of the producers are holding OFF
from these prices, although last year
they accepted eleven cents a pound.
Buyers are also trying to get syrup
at from eighty to ninety cents a gal
lon, storage provided by the buyer,
although last years price was sixty
cents a gallon, storage not added.
One farmer in the Vicinity of Cam
bridge, who tapped 1000 trees, re-
ports the sap running freely.

FROGS AND BUGS IN A
MICHIGAN CLOUDBURST.

Kalamazoo, Mich.-A shower of
insects of a kind never seen in this
vicinity, large in size and greenish
in color, together with very small
frogs, fairly covered the territory be-
tween Kalamazoo and Battle Creek.
The storm broke quickly in a cloud
burst. Frogs began falling slowly
at first and increased in number until
catch : basins became clogged with
them. The bugs followed after the
frogs. Professors and students car
ried large numbers of insects home
for examination. Scientific authori-
ties assert the specimens are not
known, but claim they would not
have reached earth had not an un-
usually heavy thunderstorm pre-
vailed. Most of the bugs were dead
when picked Up.

ODDITIES IN NEWS FROM
ALL OYER THE WORLD
VORACIOUS ENGLISHMAN
ATE 5000 PEAS IN A DAY.

London.-John Cotton, who lives
in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, is believed
to possess the most appetite
of any man living. Within the past
few days he has consumed a meal at
which a van horse would have jibbed
in despair. The contest which has
just ended lasted fourteen days.
The condition was that he should
eat two peas on the first day,
double that number on the Sec
ond, and continue to double it day
after day for fourteen days. The
peas which were used for the contest
were the ordinary green marrowfats.
During the first week the nan simply
swallowed them like pills. in the dry
state; afterward they were stepped
and boiled. On the tenth day the
numberswas 1924; on the eleventh,
on the twelfth, 4096;=Dn the
thirteenth, S192, and OF the four
teeth, 1884. Owing to a little hitch
in the proceedings he refused to con-
sumo the total on the last day; but
on the thirteenth day he disposed OF
1892, which is believed to be a
worlds record. The only condiment
he took was a little pepper. On the
thirteenth day operations were COM
menced about 3 O'Clock in the after
noon. He disposed OF 500 without
the slightest inconvenience, and
calmly rested until 2 o'clock in the
evening before recommending opera
tions. At that hour he faced the
enormous mass, which filed the
largest household bucket, with a de-
termination not to surrender. Just
before II o'clock he cleared the last
of the dishes, and was greeted as the
worlds champion. During the thir-
teen days he had eaten 1884 peas.
