Jack Farland, a ranchman living at
the base Of Pixies Peak, and whose
post office is Midland, In this county,
yesterday suffered a, broken leg by
being caught between q horse which
he was riding and a timber wagon
which he was attempting to pass

Cripple Creek Times. Farland dis
played the greatest OF pluck by riding
on to Victor after suffering the injury,
although he said upon arriving here
that he felt several times that he must
give up. Knowing, however, what
difficulty would attend any attempt to
dismount, and how well nigh impossi.
BILE 1t would be for him to remount In
the event that he succeeded in getting
safely Off his horse, the ranchman
gritted his teeth and kept on. After
having his leg set by a surgeon OF
this city, Farland collapsed and II

was able to proceed homeward in a
carriage, the accident having hap.
pened early In the morning.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Above All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.


When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room In a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts Of the
day.
II there is any suspicion of damp
ness In a bedroom 1t is probably due,
II there Is wallpaper On the wall, to
the absorption OF water by the paper
which frequently acts as a hlotting pa
per and holds quantities Of water in 1t.
The use Of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; It means disease, Ill
health and unhappiness. 1t Is fire..
quently the cause Of lung trouble, not
only because of its dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec.
ton Of many kinds.
The desired method Of treating a
bedroom wall Is to tint 1t for the ala
bastined wall is a perfect wall. II
never fakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb.
serbs moisture and expels 1t, 1t opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
Is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
In the bedroom, as the presence Of
dust on woodwork is a menace tC
health as well as an evidence of pool
housekeeping.

A PRIVATE's HERoIsM.
In the Face of Death Richard Kirk land Carried Water to Wounded.

It is one of the anomalies of war that although it stirs the savage nature of mankind 1t also calls out the highest qualities of courage, unselfshness and devotion. Many a deed of martial heroism Is done In the name of mercy rather than of the god of battle. No descrip- tion of a fierce charge, says the Youths Companion, records more determined Valor than does the story of Richard Kirkland as told by General Kershaw.
 kirkland Was a private who served in the South Carolina volunteers during the civil war After the bloody battle of Fred ricksburg his brigade occupied the road near the field. One hundred and fifty yards beyond the field lay the federal troops, and between the ground was eov- cred by the dead and dying. All day long the air was rent with the cries and groans of the wounded. and the pitiful calls, Water! Water!'
 In the afternoon, as General Kershaw sat in the upper room of his headquarters overlooking the field Kirkland asked per mission to speak to tim.
 General" said the young man, T cant stand it.
 Stand what, sergeant"
 "All night and all day I've heard those poor people crying for water. 1 came to asN permission to give them drink

Still Has Mummy on Hand.

One of the most interesting contests in the history of the city is imminent over the disposition of a mummy in the pos session of Vermillon, the undertaken.
 About nine months ago an unfortunate woman died or committed suicide, and her companions asked Vermillion to pre- serve the body until her folks could be communicated with, which was done.
 Weeks passed and the body was ur- claimed, and in the meantime justification set in and the undertaken who took special pains with the embalming diseov- cred that he had a scientific asset of con- siderable value. Hundreds of people Vis- tied the undertakers parlors, and the mummy was talked about considerably and the outcome was that the City Cop . cil passed an ordinance last week which compelled the burial or disposition of all dead bodies
 A ten-days' limit was put on the hold ing of body, and then only with the permission of the Mayor. The ordinance was directed at the mummy of vermil- lion and has been published and is Tn ef feet.
 The city authorities have not yet done anything regarding the matter but it is understood that Vermillion believes he has a right to preserve the mummy in the interest of science,
 MT. Vermilion has no wish to violate any law or disregard the wishes of either a community or the officials, but will re- tain his mummy if the law will allow him to do so. The final outcome of the mat ter is awaited with interest.

BUSY DAY FOR MERCHANTS

Bessemer, August 0.-(Special 1.-The ar rival and placing on the grounds of the material for the proposed gas plant iG this city is a source of much gratifica- tion to the citizens in general of this place.
 The delay of the material was due to the fact that the manufacturers were inun- dated with orders, and the material Was somewhat hard to procure. However, all has been purchased by Manager Harrison, who Is expected in the city next week to personally supervise the erection of the plant. If Mr Harrison makes good his promise to the City Council, superio~ quality of gas is to be supplied, and the company is to place one street light so as to show what can be done with the product.
 The work of laying the mains is to commence at once, and as many of the original houses of the city were built with pipe already installed. there will be I number of people who will be ready to use the utility as soon as it can DC procured.
