The END OF TEE WORLD
ONE THEORY As TO HOW THE FEARFUL
CLIMAX NAY CONE.
What will be the end ofthe worlds'

What will be the end ofthe worlds
This is question which was former
ly asked of sOOthsayers and prophets
and often answered by them with
definite statements and dates which
were, to those who believed them, to-
the last degree disquieting. Such
prophets and prophecies have all
been proved erroneous, and the
Millerites and their kin have all been
laughed out of serious consideration.
Science has taught US better and
yet science, which seeks always new
facts and revised reasoning, is now
teaching US that our faith in the.
safety of the solar system is misplac-
ed.
Instead of the eternnlly change
less procession of the planets about
the sun and of our solar system about
some other greater sun, astronomers
find grave evidence of what seems
disorder in what we thought was per-
petual perfection, disorder which
may-indeed, probably will-sOme
time wreck our own planet. 1t is
possible-astronomically considered,
it is probable-that unseen within
the remote confines of space the vast
mass of a dead world is hustling to-
ward our sun with inconceivable
velocity. In time the two will come
together and the unreasonable heat
produced will make gas of granite
and floating clouds of nebulae of us
all, for thus worlds die and thus
they are Immediately in process of
being born again, for out of the con-
densation of this nebula will come
the beginnings of new solar system
which will in the countless cons of
astronomical time go through the
same process of evolution and de-
cay.-Technical World Magazine.

A RAILROAD STORY.
ME SUPERSTITION OF AN ENGINEER
AND THE RESULT.


laeen in wreck. This, no doubt,
IS due to their belief in the infalli-
biiity of wrecks and other accidents,
coming in cycles or in occurrences of
threes. When an accident happens
on the road they wag their heads and.
wonder when the next one will take
place, and when the third has hap
pened they breathe easier until
another occurs to give them the
chance to look for two more again.
An engine that has been in only
one wreck is looked to finish its
cycle, and until it does so and gets
a clean bill of health it is regarded
as boodoo.
Friday has the same hold on the
superstitious fear of railroad men
that it has in other quarters. Men
will refuse to take lay-ofF on Fri
day, and if it is forced upon them
they will not return to work until
the following Monday. Many rail-
road superintendent and trainmas-
tiers coddle their men as far as they
can in this superstition, but a gen
eral regard for it would be impossi-
hle. else the railroad traffic of the
country might come to compare
tive standstill some Friday.
There are thousands of stories rife
in railroad circles that prove to rail-
road men that there is good reason
for their fear of this or that hOOdoo..
Here is a true story of the number
IS:
Several years ago one of the Sc
TeEest snowstorms in the history of
railroading swept the west. Be
tween Chicago and Aurora drifts ten
feet high DISTRACTED traffic, and a
snowplow and engines were sent out
to clear the road. At point on
the road was a yardmaster, who is
now railroad superintendent in St.
Louis, and it is he who tells the
tale.
The snow bucking train was COM
posed of thirteen engines behind the
plow," says he. In the front en-
was my older brother, who was the
engineer of it. The superintendent
of the division was there supervising
the work.
When the train was made up
and ready to start, the superintend-
emit told me to go with the head en-
CINE. climed aboard, and my
brother asked me what was doing
there. replied that was to 90
along with him. DO you know
that there are thirteen engines in
this train? he ask solemnly. told
him knew all about it. We'll.
there's going to be an accident, he
said. I don't want you on the en-
CINE. When the accident comes
one of US will be killed, perhaps
both. Who is to look after our old
father and mother them
I was young, and wasn't very
strong on the thirteen superstition
anyway, and l told him he was talk
ing like sentimental kid. The
superintendent approached US and
must have heard the last part of the
conversation. for he told me to stay
in the yard and see that the road
was kept clear.
The snow buckers pulled out
without me. They had not been
out an hour when the journal burn
ed off on the front engine and drop
ped the axle. 1t caused a rail to
curl up and the end of it shot up
through the floor of the cab and
knocked the hat off the brakeman.
Had gone on the engine my body
would have been pierced by the rail,
which went through the seat where
I would have been sitting. st.

WASH THAT ITCH AWAY.

1t is said that their are certain
springs in Europe that give relief and
cure to Eczema and other skin diseases
If you knew that by washing in these
waters you could be relieved from that
awful itch, wouldn't you make every
effort to take a trip to Europe at once?
Would you not be willing to spend your
last cent to find the cure.
But you need not leave home for
these distant springs. Relief is right
here in your own home town!
A simple wash Of Oil of Wintergreen
Thymol and other Ingredients as com.
pounded only in D. D. d. Prescription
will bring instant relief to that terri
BILE b~urning'itch, and leave the skin as
smooth and healthy as that of a child.
If you have not already tried it get at
least a 25c bottle today. We assure
you of instant relief. Toledo Drug Co.

At the adjourned session of the
Council last Thursday evening the
matter of saloon regulations and
license as pertaining to this city
was discussed informally. The sen
timent Of the Council was that they
should repeal all ordinances now in
effect as pertaining to saloons and
the licenseing thereof, and pass
new ordinances controlling and re-
gulating all saloons within the city
of Toledo. 1t was thought that the
license fee should be at least $1,000
Il year payable in advance. That
the saloons should be closed Sunday
and close week nights promptly at
midnight. That no chairs or tables
be allowed in the saloons, and that
screens and frosted windows be pro-
hhited, making what is known as
the open front. That the number
of saloons be limited. That no
minors be allowed in the saloons
whatever. That it be the duty of
the Marshal to go in the saloons at
any and all times and see that these
regulations are obeyed, and in the
event thai they are violated in any
part the license Of said saloon keep
er be forfeited and that no other
license be granted him for q term
of one year. 1t is the intention OF
the Council to pass these ordinance:
at one so that anyone intending tc
open a saloon here will know what
they have to comply with.

county make but one change in the
LEADERS, figures of last week.
The unofficial returns up to our last
issue put Edward Stocker III the
lead of c. n. Thompson for Com
missioner. The official canvass
corrected this error and gave Mr..
Thompson SO majority. This gives
the county all Republican officers,
except Surveyor Derrick, who is a
Democrat. The closest contest was
for the Office of Sheriff. Bert Geer
won over G. L, Morrison by but 25
votes. Judge Gardner was elected
County Judge by so votes over j. F.
Stewart. r. II. Howell for Clerk,
q. b. McCluskey for Treasurer and
+. NJ. Carter for Coroner, all had a
walkover. T. w. Chambers for

Lincoln counties had things his own
way. The officers elect are, Cham
bers, Joint Representative; Howell,
Clerk; Geer, Sheriff; Thompson,
Commissioner. Gardner, McClus-

gresham Hawley a majority of 321

THAT'S WHY HENRY KuNZMAN

$1,000.

San Antanio, Tex, Jan. Especial
because Henry Kunzman Of this
city would not trust his money to
bankers, he is out today $1,000, the
savings of practically "a Life time.
Kunzman, a typical village black
smith, living on the outskirts of the
city, preferred to be his own bank
er, and laid aside something for the
rainy day in an old trunk. While
Kunzman had gone to a saloon near
by to get a glass of beer stranger
entered the blacksmith shop and APP
ipropriated the money. The last poor
Kunzman saw of his money was the
bulge it caused in the pockets of the
thief. Energetic chase was given by
him but the thief left him at the post
by Boarding troQly car. So far, the
police nave nc: found the man, and
Kunzman is revising his opinion on
the ACCESSIBILITY Of people being their
own bankers.
