PROHIBITIONISTS AT
WORK.

The past week has been an
eventful one for the Prohibition
lists of Holly and vicinity. Sew
eral caucuses have been held, and
the various members assigned to
their respective duties.
The one feature worthy of note
in the Prohibitionists' campaign,
SO far, is the perfect unanimity in
which they are working, all
seeming to agree in the main on
every proposition presented.
Said one lady. in speaking of
the issues: 1--WE will show the
saloonkeepers that our husbands
and brothers shall spend their
evenings at home, and the fami-
hes now destitute in our town,
ON account of the two licensed
grog-shops here, will be swept
out OF existence if we have fair
count. Both Of these saloon
keepers, collectively, are worth
nearly 100000 and they took it
away from families who are now
almost destitute"

About O'Clock last Monday
train on the Arkansas Valley rail
road was wrecked about II miles
northwest Of Holly where the road
crosses Boggs creek.
The engine was working in the
middle Of = mixed train, two cars
being pushed ahead, four cars aud
a caboose making up the balance
of the train. As the train was ap-
proac nlng the trestle the tender of
the engine jumped the track and
the two cars ahead we're precipit-
ated in to the gulf IS feet below.
Two bridge carpenters, Calverley
and Teller, were on top of the for
ward cars. Both jumped as the
cars left the track. Calverley fell
on his head and shoulders and was
instantly killed, his neck being
broken. LETTER suffered crushed
shoulder, several fractured ribs,
: and is injured internally. It is
feared that he cannot live.
Merrill Markham, Charles Luck
and other officials of the road were
riding in the caboose of the train
when the wreck occurred. but as
the rear cars did not leave the
track, they escaped without injury.
LATER-A message from the
hospital at La Jnnta has been re-
ceived, stating that LETTER is still
alive and that the physicians now
entertain strong hopes of his final
recovery.

A Famous Poison Mystery

England had famous poison mys-
terry in the last century. Two mem
bers Of great club in Manchester,
both men Of position and keen politl-
clans, each received, apparently as
New Years gift, small boxes contain
ing a few cigars Of the very highest
quality apparently. Both were taken
fearfully i'll after smoking, and one CT
them subsequently died. The cigars
were found to be loaded with poison,
and it was said tLat the man who
recovered only did so because he used
a cigar holder. The facts were ct first
hushed up, because, as Was said, the
suspected sender, whose motive was
revenge on account Of lady, was a
man of wealth and power But this
subject was cleared, and the mystery
was deepened by the following cir
cumstances: \ rich Manchester mer-
chant. travelling one day III 4 railway
car about the time Of the incident re-
lated, got into conversation with a
most agreeably and highly cultivated
stranger. who finally offered his cigar
case. The Manchester man was found
at Leeds almost unconscious and the
only occupant Of the carriage. he
grasped in one Of his convulsed hands
the ciga he had been smoking. and aft
er analysis showed it to be identical
with the others. he recovered. but
the stranger was never discovered.

Eoyu . Girl Throws

Perhaps a better title would have
been "How Girl Doesn't Throw"
because it is well known that girl
cannot propel q ball OF anything else
like q boy. Most people-and all boys
conclude that this defect crises from
clumsiness, but that is a mistake.
The difference between a girls throw
ing and boys is substantially this:
The boy crooks bis elbow and
reaches back, with the upper part OF
his arm about at right angle OF forty
FIVE degrees. The direct act Of throw
ing IS accomplished By bringing the
arm back with a sort Of snap. working
avery Joint from shoulder to wrist.
The girl throws with her whole arm
agid, the boy with his whole arm re-
laxed. Why this marked and unmls-
taxable difference exists may be e8'
planned by the fact that the claVicle
or collar bone in the feminine anatomy
IS some inches longer and set some de-
crees lower down than In the mascu-
line frame. The long, crooked, aWk'
ward bone inte rn with the full and

Tho Wrist and the Arm.

The real wrist, as one might say, is
the elbow joint. It is all hand, prac-
tically speaking, from that point to the
tips Of the fingers. When you turn
your wrist it is the whole forearm
that makes the twist. and every move
ment Of the fingers Is controlled by the
muscles Of the forearm. The power
TO turn the wrist to and fro at the el'
bow joint is possessed only b. Aunan
beings and monkeys, and even the
higher apes are not able to do the trick
nearly as we'll as we can In this
movement the great biceps muscle
In the upper arm is Importantly con-
cerned, its powerful action in turning
the forearm outward being accounta-
Bile for the fact that We are, able to
put so much more strength into q twist
in that direction than the opposite
way. Many Of our most familiar tools
indeed, such as the. screwdriver, are
made with reference to the anatomical
popularity in question. 1t is for this
reason and no ether that ali screws

the church found itself s4G0 in debt.
a church meeting was called. and it
was voted to circulate subscription
paper on the spot and endeavor to thus
raise the sum needed. This was done,
and the old gentleman did not put his
name on the paper. The result was
rather disheartening, 5000 only having
been pledged. Silence reigned for a
moment, when one Of the most gen
