while holding to fast schedule leaves
the engineer dependent upon their
workings. They may work or they
may fail.
No water in boiler is one OF the
greatest dangers that confront the en-
gineer, and II the condition shall es-
cape his attention for any reason and
the baking injectors suddenly pump
cold water in the superheated sur
faces the likelihood Of an explosion
menaces him.
Holding the throttle blindly. and
trusting to luck" the engineer moves
out on his run, his life in his hands.
Any one of a dozen conditions may
mean his death. He has no control
over any Of them. In threatened
head-on-collision he is at such a
height and moving at such speed as
to make jumping almost suicidal.
| His only recourse is fatalism. He
will not get 1t till his "time comes.

FARMER HAS A
FINE FISH POND
Damned Up Ravine on the Farm I'd
Now Has Fine Crop
Of Fish.

Raising fish for the market is new
industry in Iowa. James Helmic, resid-
ing a few miles south of Columbus
Junction, has converted a long ravine
into a large fish lake by erecting a
high embankment at the. lower end OF
the ravine. which is supplied with
water by thing from his farm. The
fresh water is stocked with channel
cat, black bass and croppies. The fish
put into the lake last fall, have
spawned. producing millions Of small
ninnows that are growing fine. The
fish have developed in weight forty
eight times the amount when first put
into the lake. The new fish pond has
created considerable interest among
the farmers, who have been coming
several miles to investigate the fish
hatcheries and methods used by Hell
mic, who is encouraged in his new
undertaking. He believes this lake,
artificially constructed, will pay him
large income on the investment put
into it. He has begun the industry
with the intention Of supplying fish
= =
for the market.
The pond will cover about an acre
of land while it varies in depth from
ten to fifteen feet, being supplied
continuously with fresh water from
thing that extends several hundred
yards south OF the road. The depth
of water is controlled by valve in a
large pipe that is operated by pecu-
liar key invented for that special pur-
pose in order to prevent foragers from
emptying the pond, which is two hun
dred yards from the house. The
owner Of the lake talks Of arranging
wires in the pond SO that any at
tempt to seine the lake would start an
electric bell In his sleeping room.
This he believes viii enable him to
guard the fish pond from fntruders
in the night time So successful has
the undertaking been that the direc.
tors OF the Lur.isa county fair have
provided for his fish that have been
Matched in his fish pond to be put on
exhibition at the county fair there in
September.

WHY ENGINEER
rs A FATALIST
Trusts to "Luck" With a Dozen Con-
ditions on the Rail Which May
Mean Death.

| Why should the locomotive engineer
be fatalist :?
There is only one answer to the
question? that is for the reason that
everything in the life of the engineer
points to the necessity for philosophy,
If the engineer is to pursue his line OIL
work with a steady hand and nerve.
Ordinarily when the layman stands
beside a great stationary engine
working under heavy pressure he is
startled at its power. In the hot, close
atmosphere Of the machinery room,
filled with sliding pistons, great fly
wheels and rumbling shafts wnirilng
and flying overhead, he begins to APP
preciate the latent power that is en-
comprised within it's mechanism. If
| he should stop to consider that the
/ locomotive engine Is mounted to tray-
ell at fifty, sixty or seventy miles an
hour, while at the same time operated
under steam pressure Of 22O or $40
pounds to every square inch of boiler
surface, he may get some idea of the
portion of the engine driver who
holds the throttle. Laynan that he
| is he feels his insignificance as COM
pared to the giant boiler which is IN
chored fast to Its bed of stone, steel
and cement, resting far below the sur
face. If the design of the boiler were
to travel mile minute while he was
looking on his sense Of its power and
insecurity would be greatly exag-
gerated.
Anything that might interfere with
the physical flight of this great boiler
through space Is at once double
menace to the engineer. He is re-
sponsible for everything in the opera
ton Of this huge boiler, while in its
working It's whole foundation changes
with every fraction Of second mark
ed off by his watch, flaw in a rail, a
careless telegraph operator, sudden
washout OF bridge or culvert, any one
OF these things may send the engine
driver into eternity without mo-
ment's warning.
It may be that the engine is type
having driving rod plunging up and
down and forward and back squarely
under the seat which he must occupy
in holding the throttle, hour after
hour. The swapping of crank pin
on great driver may send the flying
steel bar crashing up through the en-
gineer's seat and mean death in All
instant.
Or flying at mile a minute and
having to take for granted great deal
concerning the condition of the water
in his boiler, the menace of the super
heated steam itself may be something
which he can only take for granted,
while he turns blindly to his luck.

boiler through automatic injectors

THREW POP BOTTLE
fine s. and COST
John sarofin, Who Threw Pop Bottle
At Umpire Moody is Fined
In the Superior
Court.
THE CASE rs A LESSON
No More Such Action is Looked for
at Future Games-Moody Still
on STAFF and Will Work
Today.

It cost John Sarofin IS and costs or
$7.S5 in the superior court this morn
ing for heaving a pop bottle at Umpire
Moody yesterday afternoon In the
eighth inning after the jumps had made
q rank decision on fly ball caught
by Hildebrand. Sarofin did not deny
that he threw the bottle with the in
tention OF striking the indicator man,
although the missile missed him halt
dozen feet when thrown from in front
of the bleachers Sarofin was arrest
ed by Officer LeFeber and upon ar
irving at the station was released to
appear this morning. The information
was fled against him by Marshal
Kesselring.
While Sarof1n's action represented
well the feeling of many o. the base
ball fans present, such extreme action
should never be resorted to upon the
ball field, for even If the umpire is
In the wrong he is there to do his
duty and should be protected from any
bodily harm. 1t is hoped that in the
future all such action will be refrain
ed from, although yesterday the game
was close and the fans angered. This
is no excuse Of such action, however.
Many inquiries were made today as to
what was done with Sarofin and his
case was made a lesson by Judge Nc.
Namara.

Moody,s Last Chance.

Moody will be given q last chance
this afternoon and if he fails to make
good President Justice will probably
look to new material for the position.
Moody should make capable man,
but looks like big green hoosier on
the job and has not pleased the fans
in general appearance as yet.
Tie umpire job seems to be a hard
one in league OF this size and it is
wonderful that more men do not turn
their attention to this branch OF the
sport The compensation is higher
than for ball players in the same class
Of league.

ITS YOUR KIDNEYS
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles. A Norwich Citizen Shows How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their kidneys If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright's disease. The best remedy to. use is Doans Kidney Pills. It cures all Ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Norwich people tes- tify to permanent cures.
 Patrick Sullivan, livi at 4s Mt. Pleasant Street, Norwich. Conn. says: If any person should ank me what to use for pain and lamen>lss across the small of my back. I would advise the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. I have found they have no t-lual for this trouble Doan's Kidney Pills thor oughly relieved me of a severe pain in the small of my back, sti engthened my kidneys and benefited ms in a general way. I procured this remedy at N. D. Seyin & sons drug store. and am glad to recommend it."

s225 STOLEN.
Hebron Mans Pocket Rifled by His
 Hired Man, Who is Missing.

Deputy Sheriff Wi2kwire of Colches- ter, with Deputy Sheriff Prentice of Gilead, are very busy on an alleged larceny case. The money was stolen in Hebron Sunday night.
 It is learned from Hebron that Fred Burnham, well known in this city, was relieved of some S225 or s250 some time early Monday morning. The one who is supposed to have made the fat touch is said to be a Pole who was hired by Mir. Burnham in Hampton short time ago.
 Some time between 12 m. and ? a. m the young Pole got up and dressed and opening a number of doors went to the room occupied by MT. Burnham and distracted from a pocket of his trousers the wad of bills. It is thought that the fellow then started to hit the high places, for upon the awakening of MT. Burnlarn at o'clock. seeing that things looked bit mussed up and scattered, he discovered his monetary loss and soon after noticed the absence of the young Polish hired man, together with all of his belong ings, such as personal effects. He dressed hurriedly and drove to Fl. A. Spafford's house and got the latter to start in pursuit of the Pole in his au. tomobile. A fresh start leading from the house to Andover was easily fol- lowed. but at that place 1t became -obliterated and the pursuers baf1ied.
 They continued on to Bolton, but to no purpose. Authorities in adjacent towns were notified and a search for the missing man is being made. MT Burnham went to Hartford Monday morning with a view to getting a line on the man.
