Austrian Army Suicides.

Statistics of suicide in the Austro-
Hungarian army tell dark story.
Even among the civilian population of
that empire the percentage Of suicide
is high-1.03 per 10000 inhabitants, as
against 0.76 in England, though still
lower than Germany, whose percent
age is 2.71. Austrian army suicides,
however, are equal to those of any
three European armies put together
England's army of free men does not
weary of its own existence. The per-
centage is 2.06 per 10000, while in the
Austrian army it rises to 1888. even
double that of the German army, which
may be described as a bad second, with
rate of .33.-Indianapolis News.

CHILD SAVED BY HER HAIR
Remarkable Presence Of Mind Evinoed
by Occupant Of Cab In
Grave Emergency.

An old engineer on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad said: II had thrilling
experience once. We had just left a
small town in Ohio, and were going at
a good rate of speed, when / noticed
several children playing near the
track about 60 feet ahead I blew the
whistle several times and the children
scampered away, all except little
girl, who seemed fascinated by the on
rushing train. / put on the brakes,
but saw that she would be run down
unless something was done at once.
Letting go of the throttle reached
down, and, leaning far over, caught
the child up by her hair swung her
up beside me. and, at the stopping of
the train set her down with the bid
ding to run along home"
Among stories of heroic nerve and
devotion to duty none surpasses that
of an engineer on the Lake Shore a
few years ago. who, while buried I'M
der the wreck of his engine, tightly
pinned, while steam was blowing all
over him, ordered his fireman, who
was trying to aid him, to leave him
and flag No. Z, which was then almost

another train was rushing on to de-
struction, but this heroic engineer did
not forget. 1t is of such stuff that
heroes are made.

TRAIN MARooNED FOR DAYS.
Passengers on Salt Lake Line Caught
Between Washouts.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Jan. 6.-Since
Jan. 1, $50 passengers have been desert
prisoners on account of train No. on
the San Pedro, Salt Lake & Los An
geles railroad being marooned five
miles from Caliente, New, the track on
both sides of the train having been
wrecked by a recent flood.
There is no fear for the safety or
the hunger of the passengers, as there
is plenty of food on hand, and ties
are being torn up and used as fuel to
heat the cars.
Just as soon as wagons can reach
the train that is stalled, which will re-
quire three or four days, the passen-
gers will be transported to Barclay,
from which point they will be brought
to Salt Lake City. 1t is reported that
all the passengers are we'll and fairly
comfortable.
The report of the plight of the train
reached here when telegram came
from Acoma The reason that the news
was not received before is that tele-
graph service had been faamRered by
the floods and storms that have taken
place in that district of the state.

STEEL RAILS IN HOLY LAND
Consul Tells Of the Damascus and
Mecca Line, Its Construction
and Equipment.

Deputy Consul John d. Whiting Of
Jerusalem recently made journey
over the Damascus & Mecca railroad,
and describes the line and its equip
ment as follows:
The rails used in the construction
are all steel and come from the United
States. From Damascus to Daraa
wooden ties were laid, which are al
ready being replaced by iron ones.
From Daraa south, only iron ties,
which also come from the United
States, are used.
Some of the fat cars and the freight
cars came from Belgium, while the
passenger cars are from Germany.
The first-class cars are of the COM
partment style, a corridor running
clear through on one side of the car
into which open the small compart-
ments which accommodate eight per-
sons each. They are finely uphol-
stored, and cost $4,000 francs (s4,600)
each. Until now there have been no
second-class cars. The third-class
cars are fitted up with stout wooden
benches in rows with an aisle run
ming through the center. They are
not upholstered and have no curtains,
but have glass windows and shutters.
They cost 10000 francs ($3,O00) each.
This road has been built by the
Turkish government, assisted to a
small extent by the contributions OF
devoted Mohammedans. Meisner Pa
sha, German, has control of the con.
struction of the road, and is assisted
by other European engineers. The
greater part Of the manual labor has
been done by extra pay.
The Damascus station of the rail
way is situated at the extreme south
ern end of that part of the city called
the Medan. In viewing Damascus
from the heights to the northwest the
city resembles saucepan or spoon
with round bowl, the main part be-
ing round and the quarter called the
Medan corresponding to the handle
The latter is practically single long
street. The station consists Of sew
eral buildings, some of which are ware
and baggage houses. Large repair
shops are being erected. The present
station building is small affair. but
it is probable that a suitable structure
will soon be built.

woman's property law was in force as
early as $50 B. c.
The proceedings to which tho doc
uments" refer were taken by wom-
an against her brother-in-law to re-
gain possession of property left by
her husband. The evidence showed
that man Of Babylon had married
the woman from Borsippa, and with
the money Of h1r dowry he had
bought an estate. After a few years,
having no children Of their own, they
adopted q son. and shortly afterwArd
the husband mortgaged the estate.
Later he died. leaving the estate mort
gagged. and his brother attempted to
claim the property.
The widow took the matter before
the court at Borsippa: but It was be-
yond the jurisdiction Of this court and
was referred to the high court at
Babylon. Here the case was duly
heard, and tRe judges rendered de-
cision to the effect that, as the proper
ty had been the husbands, the widow
could have It upon paying OF the
mortgage. and that the brother had
no claim. Eventually, the estate
would be the property Of the adopted
son. It Is expressly stated, 40 though
matter OF some interest, that the
woman pleaded her own case In the
high court Of Babylon without assist

Motion Overruled for New Trial i
Case Against City.


keokuk, Jan. 6.-Judge Bank has ov-
erruled the motion for new trial in
the case of Major Collins against the
city of Keokuk. A new trial was asked
on two propositions; first, that the city
was exceeding its revenues and that
it was so shown by the evidence at the
recent trial; and second, that the city
had no right TO pay the salary of a
city assessor, and that the state law
had been changed in the latter regard.
Neither of these points in the motion
filed was sustained by the court.
At the recent trial of this suit Judge
Bank caused an injunction to be is
sued against the city in regard to APP
propriating funds for sustaining or
sending delegates to the Upper Missis-
sippi River Improvement Association.
but denied a restraining order as to
the other three propositions involved
in this litigation. These We're: That the
city had a right to have official repre-
sentation at the meetings of the Iowa
League of Municipalities; that under
the evidence presented the city was not
exceeding its revenues and that it had
a right TO compensate its assessor.

WATERWAY FIGHT.
Will Be On Soon in Illinois Senate
Power Taken from Governor.

Springfield, Ill.,, JAN 5.-The senate
waterway committee had hot debate
whether they should wait for action
Of congress in. the matter Of federal
cooperation.
After several amendments the
Schmidt administration bill was re-
ported out and the waterway fight will
soon be in progress on the floor of the
senate. The committee struck out of the
bill all that portion addressed to con-
gress, making 1t essentially a state
measure, providing for the beginning
of work without waiting for federal
aid. The committee decided to name its
own attorney, taking the power OF ap-
pointment from the governor. The out
come Of the fight over direct primary
legislation is as much in doubt as 1t
was yesterday. Nothing definite was
