In every country town there is
a sign at the railroad crossing like
this: ''Look out for the cars. +" Now
everybody knew that it was a rail
road crossing the day the line was
laid and finished. When the sign
was put up it took two days for every
inhabitant to become familiar with
it. In a week every small child
could read it backward. Did the
railroad take it down? No. If they
had the warning would have been

Poor old Dump" Gillian the
no hit pitcher we'll known to Lancas
ter baseball fans has been trun
down. in his own beloved Galena.
The Galena Gazette gives the reason
as follows: Dump Gillian left
last evening and it is understood be
intends to play ball this season in the
south. Gillian would like to manage
the GaIena team this season, provided
there is one, but it is not believed he
will be asked to take the job
Dump" i a gentlemen of the first
water and his management Of the club
the first season was a success, but last
year he changed his tactics and the
howl that went up among the fans has
not yet entirely died out. His
insistence in not securing a pitcher of
more ability than himself was the
main cause of the lack of interest and
the poor wind-up of the ball season.
Gillian is a good ''warm weather
pitcher and a good ball player, but it
seems he fell into the same rut as all
managers of Galena teams have done
so far, that is of not wanting mole
capable player than himself on the
tea III. Galena fans are almost unit

SELL COTTON FOR
 FUTURE DELIVERY
Farmers Dispose of 100, 900 Bales of Cotton at 10 to l2 1-2c. Picking
 Season Near.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 22.- Reports received by the Adver- tiser indicate that at least 100, 900 bales of cotton have been sold by farmers for future de- livery at prices ranging from 10 to l2 1-2c.
 Indications are that the grow CTS are selling considerable cot ton against lower prices when the movement of the present crop begins.
 The past week has not brought favorable weather for the grow ing plant and although the pick ing season is near at hand it is still believed that the crop will not yield more than 65 percent of the average.

NEW DRUNK
 METHOD TO STOP
Bean Found in Limited Quantities In Mexico The Most Powerful
 Narcotic.

ElPaso, Aug. 20. The Ameri. can and Mexican governments, it is learned from a Mexican of fcer. will cooperate in effort to stop the sale of the peyote bean and will eradicate the plant. The bean is powerful narcotic and intoXicant, more so than opium or Whiskey and much more injuri- ous. It is found in only a small section, forty miles from Nuevo Laredo, in mexico, and a small area near Laredo, Texas. Indians and lower MeXicans become ad- dicted to it's use and are gradual ly extending to the whole cour- try. The bean is chewed and the juice swallowed. The first effect is complete unconsciousness. The subject for several hours enjoys delightful dreams and visions. This is followed by several hours of intoxication. Complete pros- tration and sometimes death enSue.

m en obey it's rules. But before you report other people for be- ing careless and dirty and so making it possible for flies to be- come nuisance, be sure that your own house is clean, and that no garbage. cans or boxes are left uncovered to attract flies.
 If you and all the people you know will follow this advice, there will not be nearly so many flies to plague you in hot wealth CT, and there will not be nearly so much sickness and death, especially among children as now.
The Nevada County picayune., 1909-08-26
RULES FOR DEALING WITH THE FLY
 NUISANCE

Keep the flies away from the sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the sick room. His body is covered with disease germs.
 Do Got allow any decaying material Of any sort to accumu- late on or near your premises.
 All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding. straw, paper waste and vegetat le matter should be dis posed of or covered with lime or kerosene oil.
 Screen all food. T. Keep all receptacles for gar bage carefully covered and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or lime. z4
 Keep all stable manurer in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or other cheap preparation.
 Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse.
 Screen all food exposed for sale.

COTTON CROP
 DETERIORATES
Generally Holds own in Louisiana, but Is Injured in Mississippi Because
 of Immaturity.

New Orleans, Aug, 2. De terioration in the crop in Mss issippi and the same condit on for the crop in Louisiana a5 that which prevailed last week is the gist of the weekly crop report of the Picayane, issued tonight.
 While some sections of Louis jana report that excessively hot weather for the last week has caused serious deterioration in the cotton crop, the general esti- mate appears to be tha the plant has held 1t own. In the lowlands there was sufficient moisture in the soil to counteract the effects of the hot and dry temperature.
 Mississippi conditions are not favorable. Cotton opened very rapidly beneath the intense heat, but deterioration resulted because of immaturity. In some sections labor refused to take the field because of hot weather and some cotton was lost in this manner.

BEWARE OF THE DANGEROUS
 H0USE-FLY

Flies are the most dangerous insect we have. They are much more dangerous than bees or hornets; thee may sting you, and the sting is painful, but you soon get over the pain. Flies do much more harm than this. They walk over filthy places like sew CTS and garbage cans, and after eating the filthy food which they find there, they come into your house and walk on the food you eat, carrying on their feet the tiny germs which live in filth Just as you live in a house. These germs are not only filthy and disgusting, but many of them cause such diseases as ty- phoid fever, cholera infantum and summer complaint. When the flies bring them from some dirty place to your food or leave some of them when they crawl on your face or hands, you may swallow these germs without knowing it and be taken ill with one of these diseases. So the fly that seems so harmless may do you much more harm than bee or hornet.
 Your parents should place screens at their doors and win dows during the warm weather, to keep the flies out of the house. If they cannot screen all the rooms, they should screen those in which the food is kept; and if anyone is sick in the house, flies should be kept from the sick room, so that they may not carry germs from the sick person to the rest of the family.
 Children may help to keep ! flies from swarming in and a. round houses, and from carrying germs of sickness from one per son to another. In the first place, they should not buy candy, fruit or other food which is left in front of stores or anywhere else where flies may feed and walk on it. Flies lay their eggs chief | ly in stable manure, and Ii this is left without screens or other covers to keep the flies away, great numbers will be matched in every stable. If you know of stores where food is not covered from flies, or of stables that have swarms of them around, get your father or mother to write to the Board of Health about them, and the Board will make the store-keepers or.stable-

AMERICAN GROWN CHINESE NOW
A HARTMAN Of THE ORIENT

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. r.
Chin zee Hee, a Chinese, started
with nothing. Today he is the
Hartman of China. Unlike the
late American railroad wizard,
Chin labored under the disadvan-
tages of an education notable for
the things it lacked. He was pen
niless and in a strange country,
where men were more prone to
sneer than to assist him in his up
ward climb.
In the days when Seattle was an
Indian camping ground and San
Francisco a frontier village, Chin
zee Hee, Chinese, came to Amer
lea. He landed in San Francisco
and worked for day wages.
When the railroad men turned
their eyes to the north, Chin had
preceded them and at Seattle had
started small mercantile store.
But the railroad constructionists
needed more men to keep the track
in order. Chin supplied the de-
mand.
From a piece of cash." a Chi
nese coin worth .001 of a cent,
which he kept for good luck when
he left China, his wealth began to
mount toward four figures. AS it
grew Chin became more ambitious.
He studied railroading and finally
returned to the Orient.
He went to Canton. There he
talked railroads and railroad build
ing. Everywhere he went Chin
spoke concerning nothing but en-
.gines, steel rails, roadbeds and the
profits from the business of trans
portation.
The Chinese merchants listened
in both China and the United
States. The Sun Ming Railroad
Co. was organized. Chin was the
head. Chinese capital alone was
put in the project. Chinese brains
governed it's construction.
Today LA miles of the first Chi
nese railroad to be built by Chi
nese is completed. Money is pour
ing into the corporation Golfers,
and Chin zee Hee is looked upon
as being one of the really big men
of the empire. Chinese In every
section of the globe have invested
in his enterprises. They have
faith in his ability, ust as the
Americans had in Hartman. More
lines are being constructed to feed
the main road running through
