the safest plan is to let him see 10th
Ing at all. He suggests enclosing the
eyes In the novel bride blind shown
here, which he recently patented. A
pair Of blinds are attached to the bri-
die. Normally these blinds remain
open. When the driver sees an APP
preaching automobile he pulls on a
strap which extends to the drivers
seat and the blinds are folded over the
horses eyes, completely obscuring his
vision The danger of the horse be

is thus reduced to a minimum and the
occupants assured of safety.

That in one or the other Of these uses
they have stood the test Of many years
experience by physicians of different
schools. There can be no dispute about
this, whatever. Peruna is composed Of
some of tho most efTlcacious. and uni

of the human system as require a tonic
Each one Of the principal ingredients
of Pcruna has a reputation OF It's own
in tho cure of some phase OF catarrh Oh

The fact Is, chronic catarrh Is dis

There is a popular belief that certain
trees are less likely than others to be
struck by lightning, and that during
a thunderstorm 1t Is quite safe to stand
under a beech for example, while the
danger under a resinous tree or an oak
is, respectively, fifteen or twenty times
greater This is disputed in recent
writing by DIR. a. w. BothwicEl In his
'Notcs of the Royal Botanical Garden
of Edinburgh" The doctor says that
no tree Is immune and the beech Is
struck quite as frequently as any other
species Apparently the taller trees in
a ucighborhood are the ones most like
ly to be struck. Contrary. to what Is
believed by some people, the cells are
not "rupured or torn by the formation
OF steam, as might happen IL the heat
ing by the electric current was very
great. The cells collapse and shrink
up, but are never torn" The root sys-
tenn does not seem to be ever damaged

While going to the ound-house, these two engines, which were coupled together, ,collided with the switch engine, which was standing on the north side of the coal chure, but owing to the low rate of speed at which they were tra- yelling none of the engines suffer ed any great damage, the switch engine probably getting some what the worst of the deal.

WinsIOW Notes.
From the Mail.

Winslow ,dur1ng the past week, has been treated to Wintry Wea- ther such as Is not usually en- cOuntered here at this time of year. 1n fact, more snow has fallen this week than IS custO- mary for a whole season in this town. While the points east and west of us have a fairly good supply of the "beaut1ful" each year, Winslow generally gets off with a very light fall of snow. However, snow commenced fall ing early Monday morning, and all points from Seligman to Ad- amana reported snow, the fall at Flagstaff. Williams and Ash Fork being about 10 inches, while but 1 inch fell at Winslow. The thermometer at Bellemont went down to 10 degrees below zero, but 20 above was the coldest 1t registered here. But by noon on Monday the snow had nearly dis appeared at Winslow. The real storm, however, came Wednes- day morning Reports show that the storm Was general from Blackberry, Ariz., to Albuquer- que, N. NJ. It struck Winslow about 10 a. m, being ushered in with q dense cloudiness and se- we're wind storm, somewhat re- sembling a miniature cyclone in Kansas. The snow soon began to fall and continued during the greater part of the day and early Thursday morning. The ther- mometer dropped to 15 above, but did not stay there any length of time. While the storm caused some little inconvenience to the residents of W1nslow, and neces- sitated the Santa Fe getting out the snow blow and Hangers. the stOckmen of Northern Arizona are highly elated over the pros pect of a fairly good supply of water due to the recent rains and snow. The storm at Grand Canyon is described as one of the worst bIlzzards in the history of that resort. It became so vio- lent that Mrs. ]. P. Morgan and party were compelled to leave the shelter of their private car and seek quarters in the Fl Tovar hotel. The snow there was ac- companied by a high wind and falling temperature.

This is the third coal shed that has been burned here within the past two months, but owing to the prompt response of the fire department to the alarm, neither of them has spread be- yond the immediate point of ori- gin.

after "a full hearing." The deci- sion was rendered on the 12th inst. The next day the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the St. Louis and San Francisco, The Southern Railway and the Sea board Air Line made separate applications for an eXtention of time. The commission has set February 27th as the date for hearing arguments in these par ticular cases. It is expected that the various other roads will also make an application for time ex- tension and 1t IS probably that all arguments will be heard on the same date. From the tenor of the report it. would seem that the 16-hour law as applied to train and enginemen would be- come law without further con- test on the part of the railroads.
 Burglars entered the postOffice some time Saturday night or early Sunday morning, stealing about twenty-five dollars worth of 25- and 50 cent books of post age stamps; also getting away with considerable tobacco, cigars and candy from the store of C. M. Byrd, in which the postoffice is located. Entrance was effected by getting in between the store of C. L. Finn and that occupied by the postoffice, a window in the rear of the latter building being broken. After rifling the box in which the stamps are kept, en- trance was gained to the store of Mir. Byrd by prying open the door separating the store and postofice. As yet no clue has been obtained as to whom the robbers may have been, but Town Marshal Hanks has nOti
