A dispatch in the La Crosse Leader
Press of the LIST, from Yellow river
says: What undoubtedly would have
proved disastrous accident was mar
rowly averted here following the last
storm. A huge rock weighing five
tons became loosened at the top of the
bluffs and came tearing down to the
q. M. & st. P. track .elow. Trees,
telephone wires and poles were swept
aside and for hundred feet up the
bluff wide swath was left with not
an object to obscure the view clear to
the top. The rock landed across the
railway tracks and became firmly
embedded. Train No. "a was due at
Yellow river, and as the rock land
ed on very sharp curve, disaster
was imminent had it not been for the
presence of mind of several clam
fishermen who observed the downward
rush of the monster rock, and realiz-
ing the danger, raced up the track and
tagged No. "a just mile beyond the
curve. 1t took several men working
steadily all day blasting and cutting
to remove the rock sufficiently to al.
low passenger trains to 60 by. -Lans-

A Spring Valley Invention.

A man in Spring Valley has in
vented an attachment for rural tele.
phones which will cut out listening
on the lines when somebody else is
talking. The Kenyon Leader has the
following to say on the subject: DR..
j. A Gates and his uncle, r. O.
Livingston of Spring Valley, Mimi.
have invented an attachment to the
telephone which promises to revolu-
tionize the service on the country
telephone lines. BY means of this
simple attachment it becomes a
physical impossibiilty for a third
party to listen on the line. Taking
the receiver off the hook will not
make any difference to the service of
the line. 1t also enables several differ.
emit parties to talk on the line at the
same time. With it one can ring in
either direction on the line or in both
directions. Each telephone on the
line is to be equipped with the attach.
ment, and when so equipped. private
conversations can be carried on pri-
vately as two parties can talk where
they are located mile from any other
human being. It will also lessen to a
great extent, the "nross talk on
lines, but not entirely.
Many people Of the village and
country have been in the telephone
building and inspected the actual
workings of the instrument and each
has been convicted of it's practicable
ity. The patent has been applied for
and is expected to be granted in few
days. Telephone companies have
spent thousands of dollars working on
schemes Of this kind but none has
proved simple enough to work. This
attachment will work on either q
single or two wire system. Leroy

Fancies In Lunch Boxes

Never a child living that liked the idea of carrying a school lunch in basket, pail, or anything at all suggestive of its contents
 So the new lunch boxes shown at the counters of tn department stores for the purpose look like anything under the sun but what they really are. Some that are in papier mache have the titles of we'll known books on the backs-a Vanity Fair" or Robinson Crusoe," or some- thing of the sort, may be found, and this is strapped with other real school books. Nobody could detect the difference.
 Music rolls in imitation seal leather or in black that looks like kid, with neat handles, looking like the real thing, are in reality lunch boxes. For the boy that slips in his pocket and holds his frugal lunch unsuspected. Of course, when filled they are distended, something like a camera In appearance, but empty they are safely stored away in the coat pocket.
 Willow pr rafla bags are liked by girls, they are clean and neat looking, and a pretty one looks like a. small suitcase, being about 6 inches long, wide and s deep.

RocKEFELLER's PLANS.
He Says That Published Reports Arc
 Quite Absurd.

Cleveland, December 15.-John D. Rockefeller left today for New York. Before leaving the city he said that he was unable to understand why the newspapers were directing attention to his proposed establishment of a $50,- 100000 fund for the education of Ori- entals in the far east
 Tt will take years to obtain the nec- essary legislation to accomplish the ends attributed to me, and it is much too early to make public announce ment at this time,' he said
 ''In the first place, it will be neces- sary to procure charters from the gov ernment which will safeguard charlt- able enterprise of this nature, and all this will take time. We must lay the foundation for proposition that is likely to involve a large amount of money, and until this is done it would be absurd for me to discuss the ques- tion. In time, undoubtedly, I shall have something to say to the public on the subject, but not now"

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Ambitious Plans to Harness Rivers For
 Power.

Columbus, Ga, December 15.-(Special) The Georgia and Alabama Industrial Index will say tomorrow in it's regular weekly issue
 Ambitious plans to harness the power afforded by the falling waters of south ern rivers are revealed in two petitions for charter filed in Atlanta, Ga, during the week ending today. One company is preparing to incorporate with capital stock of $3000,000 and authorized capital of $10,000,000. to develop the water-power of the Tugalo river, away up at the north eastern corner of Georgia. The other company referred to plans to build dam on the Chattahoochee river. Another in teresting development in enterprises of this character is that the North Georgia Electric company, which has a large plant at Gainesville, Ga, and transmission lines to Atlanta, Ga, has changed hands, and the impression exists that the change will hasten development of it's plans, which contemplate furnishing power on a large scale to Atlanta industries. At Amercus, Ga., the old electric light and power plant and gas plant have been bought by new company which pro- poses to improve the power service and also build the proposed electric railway line for that city. The deal has been pending for some time, and it's consum- nation is regarded at Amercus as quite important.
 Announcement is made that Alabamas iron production for the month of Novem- ber was the greatest in 14 months, show ing that that industry is getting on nor nal basis again. A large clayworking plant is to be established at Birming- ham, Ala, and also a pottery at Gadsden Ala. A furnace at Birmingham is to be rebuilt at a cost of GOO, the work to be completed within four months. A Columbus, Ga., cotton mill produced dur ing the year just ending one million yards more of cloth than in the previous year. At Rome, Ga, contract for a new $30,000 hosiery mill was let. Among the land sales was that of a turpentine farm in south Georgia for S30,000 and it is said that the purchaser has already been of fered profit. Some 30 new corporations are reported for the two states for the week, with capitalization approaching A,- GOO, ,O0O.''
 "At Gainesville, Ga, a $10,O00 com pany is being organized to manufacture a cotton chopper. A $50,000 building com pany is being organized at Athens, Ga. New mining companies are reported for Birmingham, Ala, and Codova, Ala. Auburn, Ala, called an election on the issuance of waterworks and sewerage bonds. Ben Hill county, Georgia, en- gagged the services of architects to draw plans for new court house and jail. Plans are being drawn for new bank building at Augusta, Ga. A new marble works is announced for Birmingham, Ala.
 "Hawsinsville, Ga.. Is to have a new bank and the capital stock first proposed having been over-subscribed the capitali- zation will be placed at double the amount first contemplated Butts county Georgia has called an election on the issuance of bonds for road-improvement purposes. At Birmingham, Ala, a $s00000 apartment store Is to be erected

The Christmas Stamps

Tn 1904 in Denmark the government is- sued q Christmas stamp. with the Kings head and the word 'Jul," the same as the English 'aYule," on 1t.
 Of course it was not a reaI true. true" stamp, as the children say; not good for postage but just as a "sticker" for Christmas letters. post cards and pack ages.
 The proceeds from 1t were to go to- ward building a tuberculosis hospital for little girls and boys. It succeeded be- yond all expectation. 100000 being sold at half cent apiece.
 The Red Cross society of Delaware, with the approval of the National Red Cross, decided to try this Danish idea last Christmas and 100000 stamps were sold.
 This season the Red Cross has put the stamps on sale in every state in the union which is engaged in the fight against tu- berculosis
 The stamps are very attractive and the cause Is certainly worthy of consid- eration

A Christmas Box

A useful as well as an ornamental Christmas gift is collar box which lends itself to attractive possibilities in the making.
 Obtain a cardboard box about six inches in diameter and five inches high. If the cardboard is not too heavy 1t will bend very nicely if carefully manipu- lated.
 Cover the box with a pretty cretonne of dainty pattern and line the box with the same material or a solid color.
 Around the bottom sew a ruffle of inch wide ribbon and around the edge of the cover make ruffle of half-inch ribbon of the same shade and tie a jaunty bow on top.
 Make the hinges to the box of ribbon and the whole effect Is very fetching.
 This will serve for a collar box or for ribbons and ties
