RAIL WAY RUMBLINGS

Alonza Boyden, who is firing out OF
Huron, was here Friday for a visit
with his mother.
Conductor LOOMS crew had a hard
run during the cold weather Tuesday
and Wednesday OF last week, being
out % hours without rest.
Two freight engines came together
in the yards during the storm
here Saturday night, with the result
that one engine had its cowcatchsr
knocked off. They were moving so
slowly at the time that no engine left
the track.
All the regular trains east and west,
are equipped with snow plows, and
pretty good use has been found for
them the last week. This is the first
time they have been called into use
this winter, and they we're not used at
all last winter. 8
On account OF the severe storm
Saturday evening the passenger
between here and Redfeld was ordered
to lay over here, and did not leave
until Sunday afternoon. The
storm along the main line was not so
bad, and the evening passenger got
through to Huron without mishap.
Roadmaster Erwin has a force OF
men at work this week tearing up the
track at the east end of the yards and
replacing the old rails with new rails
of heavier weight. At this time the
work will only extend over the grade
east OF town, but it is expected that
when warm weather begins it will be
pushed through to Lake Benton.

THOUGHTS
Without
Thinking
By \. o. BRANES

The managers OF this great family
journal have kindly allowed me the
use Of this column on which to pasture
a few thoughts. Custom ordains that
at an inauguration, the launching Of
a new vessel or at the front end Of
most everything there should be a
sprinkling of words or wine, and we
do not propose to 20 back on custom,
so shall s%alutatory.
We believe in the United States, the
island of Ireland and the efficacy OF
advertising in this great moral uplift.
We believe that one wife at a time is
enough for any man, in fact it takes
a darn good man to properly appre-
ciate and manage one. We believe
that booze is the greatest promoter Of
poor houses and potters' fields extant;
by this you will see that we are
willing to give even the devil his due.
We believe in the principles of the
republican party, or rather that part
thereof that are not machine made.
We believe, further, that everything
that we enjoy, save the hope OF a here
after, comes out OF the ground, and
We have right here the best ground
that lays out doors, SO that if you are
not happy and prosperous it is
because you do not dig. There is a
lot OF truth in the saying, root hog
or die" Now we're off.

In our humble opinion the best
thing we have here is the Agricultural
college and it seems meet that we leak
a few thoughts about that. We
approach the subject feeling that we
are fully qualified to either criticize
or praise it, for we once owned seven
hens and a Plymouth Rock rooster
and a neighbor OF ours owned a cow.

Under Wheels of His Train.

w. H. Messenger, aged 80 years, re-
siding at Grafton with his family con-
sisting of his wife and three small chill
dren was killed at Altamont, the head
of the Seventeen Mile grade, on last

brakeman on an eastbound freight train
and just as it was leaving Altamont a
strange noise was heard under the
wheels of the caboose by the conductor
of the train, who signalled to the engi-
neer to stop. Going back on the track
the horribly mutilated remains of Mes
senger were discovered by his fellow
trainmen, the head and one arm being
severed and the body cut in two. The
trainmen gathered the remains as well
as they could and took them on to Cum
berland, and later they were sent to
Grafton where the funeral took place
on Sunday.
The deceased was a son of John Mes
senger, who was killed about twenty
five years ago near the same spot and
in a similar manner.

Letter to II. c. SinceIl.
Oakland, Nd.

Dear Sir: 1t is great thing for a
merchant to have the exclusive sale Tin
his region, of course) of anything want
ed by everybody.
There are two ways to treat such
goods. One is: put the price up and
make big profit. The other way is: be
fair and make more.
Devoe is the paint that takes least
gallons and costs least money house,
job, year, a lifetime-no matter
how you reckon your costs, except by
the gallon-Devoe is the best care-tak-
err and costs least money,
Don't forget that the principal part
of the cost of paint is putting it on.
Less gallons, less cost. Don't forget
that another principal part of economy
is long wear; less gallons, less cost and
long wear
1t is great thing to have the exclu-
sive sale of popular goods, of goods that
make friends, of goods that enrich both
buyer and seller. Devoe is perhaps only
ten per cent better than one or two
others; but ten is a plenty 200 or
300 better than many.
There's many merchant who hasn't
found out his goods. 1t doesn't take a
man long to find out that Devoe is the
least-money paint and why, no matter
which side he is on.
Yours truly,
IA F. w. DEvoE & Co.

LEG ALMOST ENTIRELY TORN
OFF BY MILL MACHINERY.
Serious Accident Which BefelI Mr..
Joseph Rembold Tuesday Morning.

Last Tuesday morning serious and
extremely painful accident befell Mr..
Joseph Rembold, we'll known farmer
and saw mill man residing over in Pres
ton county, a few miles across the State
line, which will probably leave Mr..
Rembold cripple for the balance of his
natural life.
The injured man was assisting in the
operation of his mill when he noticed
belt slipping from rapidly revolving
pulley near the floor of the mill and
without thinking of the consequences
that would probably follow his act he
raised his foot and attempted to kick
the belt into place. Overreaching his
aim his foot was caught by the belt and
in twinkling his leg was drawn in and
crushed between the pulley and the belt
in horrible manner, producing COM
pound fracture of the limb and sever
ing the muscles and flesh so that the
lower portion of his leg hung by few
shredS.
DR.. McComas, of Oakland, was called
in consultation by DR.. Gilbert Selby, of
Eglon, who dressed Mr.. Rembold's in
juries, the ultimate outcome of which
is not yet determined by the surgeons,
as they may yet result in an amputation
of the injured leg.

TRUMAN ROOT STABBED To
DEATH NEAR F|RENDsV|LLE.
John Brown, a Swede. Is In Jail
Charged With the Crime.

A murder, SURF ounded mys-
ferrous circumstances, was committed
at house located a few miles south
of Friendsville, in Election District No.
2, last Thursday evening about nine
O'Clock, the victim being Truman Root,
aged about forty-five years, the father
of family of six children, who resided
on farm near the place where he lost
his life,
John Brown, Swede, also married,
but with no children, is in Jail charged
with committing the crime.
From information which is considered
entirely reliable, THE REPUBLICAN has
learned the following in connection with
the matter: Root and Brown, who are
neighbors, and who were boon COM
panions for a number of years, were in
triendsville on Thursday and about
dark started homeward, both of them
somewhat under the influence of liquor.
At the home of Oscar Friend, located
about three miles from Friendsville the
two men stopped and went into the
house, where it is said, they became in
volved in a quarrel, when Brown at
tackled Root with knife, cutting at
him several times, one wound being in
filcted in his left vrm, the fatal thrust
being in Root neck which severed the
jugular vein, death ensuing almost ir-
stantly.
The Friend woman went to the house
of neighbor and telephoned to Friends
vile and in a short time two or three
men arrived when they found Root sit
ting on the edge Of bed with his head
resting in his hand, apparently unin-
Jured, but an effort to arouse him
brought no response, when it was found
that he was dead.
A coronor's jury was summoned by
Justice Hardie of Friendsvile which
brought in verdict that Root had come
to his death at the hands of Brown, who
was taken into custody the following
morning, being arrested at his home by
Constable Johnson and brought to Oak
land on Friday.
The Friend woman was held as a wit
ness and being unable tofill the required
bond for her appearance before the
grand jury she was also brought to Jail
on Monday.
Mrs Friend is the wife of Oscar
Friend, who was committed to Spring
field Asylum last fall by the Court, the
man having lost his reason owing, it is
alleged, to the bad habits of his wife.

A spot for which affections tears,
Springs grateful from its fountain;

But where first my Saviour found
And felt my sins forgiven
Hard was my toll to reach the shore,
Long tossed upon the ocean:
Above me was the thunder's roar,
Beneath the waves commotion.

Around me faint with terror;
In that dark hour how did my groan
Ascend for years of error.

SPECIAL MEETINGS FOR
THE MEN AND WOMEN
For the Latter Services Will Be Held
Friday and on Sunday for the Men.

Interest in the revival being conduct
ed in st. Paul's M. E. church in Oak
land is still manifested by the increased
attendance at each succeeding service
and the conversion of from three to six
or eight persons nightly.
So far during the revival ninety-thres
persons have professed conversion,
among the number being children of
tender years, youths and maidens just
budding into manhood and womanhood,
young men and young ladies', middle
aged men and woman and some beyond
the meridian of life. With the impetus
given the meeting on Tuesday night
when several of the young men of town
were converted the far reaching influ-
ence of the revival cannot be judged
and the length of time the meetings.
will be continued into the future is but
a matter of speculation. 1t is the de-
termination of Pastor Workman and
his corps of workers to continue the
meeting just as long as there is any
possibility of accomplishing good

ranged for, both of which will be ad-
dressed by Dr. w. w. Davis, who will

Hints For Cutters.

John Wanamaker says: eff there is
one enterprise on earth that gutter
should leave severely alone, it is adver-
Using. To make a success of advertis-
ing one must be prepared to stick like
barnacle on boats bottom. He
should know before he begins it that he
must spend money-lots of it. Some
body must tell him also that he cannot
hope to reap results commensurate with
his expenditure early in the game. Ad-
vestising doesn't jerk; it pulls. 1t be-
gins very gently at first, but the pull is

A Preston Road Experiment.

Hon. William G. Brown, Familiarity
known as Junior Brown, has been APP
pointed road 'overseer on the highway
between Kingwood and Albright in
Preston county. 1t is to be hoped that
this was not done as a joke, and that
Mr.. Brown will not consider it as joke.
He is supposed to be the wealthiest man
in Preston county, and he is very busy
man. But he can afford to do the work
assigned to him. He can set an exam
pie that will be worth great deal. He
can see to it that every man called on
the road to work, works. He can see
that every cent for that road goes on
in the right way, and is not dumped in
the mudholes as nine-tenths of road
money usually is. Mr.. Brown will no
doubt recall story from Greek history.
One of the great men of Athens was or
dered to clean the streets. 1t was
meant to be humiliation; but he turn
ed it into an honor by making the
streets so much cleaner than they had
ever been before that every ambitious
man wanted the job of street cleaning.
Mr.. Browns appointment may have
been intended as joke, but he can
make it serious matter by showing
how to make every cent and every lick
of work count, if he can stop the waste
on his three miles of road, others will
model after him. He will not need
spent any Of his own money and yet
can do what poor man cannot do. -
