Uncle sam Will Do The Work.

No private contractor will raise the
battleship Maine from the harbor OF Hav-
ana. The work will be undertaken by
the Engineering Corps ofthe United States
Army. This plan has been approved by
President Taft. 1t was recommended by
the Board of Engineers, which has been
investigating the conditions that surround
the wreck.
Maj.-Gen. w. H. BiXby, U. S. A.,
brought the report to the President and
explained the scheme which had already
been approved by the Acting Secretary
of War. Plans for bringing the wrecked
hull of the battleShip tothe surface provide
for the use of cotferdam OF interlocking
steel piling. Within this the wreck will
first be exposed to observation by I'M
watering. 1t will then be removed by
the use of bulkheadS, the unchanged por-
ton being hoSted piecemeal.
All OF the work will be done by hired
labor in charge of an officer of the Engl-
neer Corps, whose powers will be almost
absolute. Materials will be purchase d
in the open market and the plant now in
the harbor will be used with such others
as may be necessary.
A large number of the bodies OF sail
ors who lost their lives in the disaster
were never recovered. II is believed
that nothing but skeletons will now be
found. These will be taken to the Ar
lington National Cemetery at Washing
ton for burial.

Mrs. A. c. Thomas, wife OF a citizen OF
Washington, has sued DR.. A. c. Merri-
man, local physician, for 5000. The
suit is one of the most peculiar ever filed
in the Supreme Court CT the District. the
point involved being whether physician
may be held responsible for not being in
his office or failure to leave a note where
he can be found. Mrs. Thomas states in
her petition that DR.. Merriman was
warned several weeks before April lst,
last, that the stork was lowering over the
Thomas home, and she alleges that for
that reason he should have held himself
in readiness for the. emergency. DeS-
pite this warning, she alleges, it took
members of her family three hours to To-
cate the physician, and by the time he
arrived at her home the proverbial bird
had performed its mission and departed.

1t is estimated that SAT, 92O, S4S will be
required to continue the construction of
the Panama Canal during the fiscal year,
beginning July | next. The principal
items are $l9,2Il 1906 for skilled and un-
skilled labor, and $40, lS6, ISL for the pur-
chase and delivery of material and sup
plies. An estimate of 81 100000 is sub
mitted for the relocation of the Panama
Railroad. The total estimates are slightly
less than those submitted for the cur
rent fiscal year and are about $l0,0O0,000
in excess of the appropriations for the
current fiscal year. The total appropria-
tions on account of the canal to date are
$249,00l ,66S. OF that amount the sum OF
$4,000, 900 was paid for the French rights
and $10,000,000 to Panama. Another
great slide has developed in the east bank
of Culebra cut of the Panama Canal at
Bias Obispo, where quantity OF rock es-
timated at $1,000 cubic yards is slowly
moving towards the canal prism. This
slide is % feet above sea level, and the
break follows the lines OF fault in the

Worry Does Kill.

Modern science has brought to ig
nothing more curiously interesting thai
that worry will kill. More remarkable
still, it has been able to determine just
how worry does kill.
II is believed by many scientists who
have followed carefully the growth OF
the science of brain diseases that scores
of the deaths set down TO their causes are
due TO worry and that alone. The theory
is a simple one, so simple that any one
can readily understand it.
Briefly put, it amounts to this: Worry
Injuries beyond repair certain cells OF the
brain, and, the brain being the nutritive
center of the body, the other organs be-
come gradually injured, and when some
diseases of these orgasS or a combination
of them arises death finally ensueS.
Thus worry kills. InsidiouSly, like
many other diseases, if creeps upon the
brain in the form of single, constant,
never lost idea, and as dropping OF
water over a period OF years will wear
groove in the stone, so does worry grad
ually, imperceptibly and no less surely
destroy the brain cells that lead all the
rest, which are, so to speak, the COM
handing officers of mental power, health
and motion.
Worry, to make the theory still stronger,
is an irritant at certain points. which pro-
duces little harm if it comes at intervals
or irregularly. Occasional Worrimentthe
brain can cope with, but the iteration and
the reiteration OF one idea OF diSquletlng
sort the cells of the brain are not proof
against.
It is as if the skull were laid bare and
the surface of the brain struck lightly with
a hammer every few seconds with me-
chanical precision, with never a sign OF a
stop or the failure of a stroke. Just in
this way does the annoying idea, the
maddening thought that will not be done
away with, strike or fall upon certain
nerve cells, never ceasing, diminishing
the vitality of the delicate organisms that
are so minute that they can be seen only
unde the microscope.-Journal OF Phys
biological Therapeutics.

A FATAL HUNTING ACCIDENT
Eli Petola Died Thursday From A Gun
Shot Wound


Crystal Falls has another hunting ac-
cident to report this week and one that
promises to be very serious for the
victim.
Eli PeItola was shot under the left
arm by the accidental discharge Of his
shot gun. the entire charge of fine shot
along with the wads, lodging ia the
arm pit.
Mr.. Peltola. Vino Osterberg and
Frank Simeoni went TO the lower end

ready to start for home and Peltola was
bending over, the muzzle of his gun
being under the left arm pit, when his
dog jumped up against tho gun, struck
the hammer and caused the charge to
be exploded.
The discharge knocked Peltola sense
less. Frank Simeoni was close by and
he picked mp the injured man and car
ried him to the rig which was half
mile distant In the mean time Oster-
berg, who was nearly mile away, had
been summoned and they drove as rap
idly as the roads would allow TO the

railroad tracks and continued out to
the county road At the Darling farm
house they reached telephone and
summoned assistance The doctor and
the ambulance were Immediately sent
out.
The injured man was very weak

was some time before the doctors could
get to work upon him. He had lost sc
much blood that it is difficult to say il
his system can Withstand the shock.
Mr.. PeItola passed away last Thurs
day afternoon about four o clock. In
a desperate effort to save his life DR.
Lingren of Ishpeming was summoned
to assist DR.. Darling who had already
called in DR. Larson. The three physi
clans did all that was possible to b'
done but the loss OF blood was too great
and life ebbed slowly away.

lessees, that contingency having been
covered by agreement in advance.
