A 3S Pound Fish.


Everything is being done on a
large scale at GAINESVILLE these days.
and even the fisher boys are keeping
step by bringing in a 38 pound cat
fish Monday evening, and another
weighing little over 20 pounds
Tuesday.
Some boys were on the dam and
f1ume when they found the big fish
between the wall of the f1ume and a
false wall, and after a stiff fight
landed him with the aid of pitch
fork. He was little more than 40
inches long and weighed within few
ounces of 38 pounds The smaller
one was caught under section of
the old dam which stands near the
west bank of the river. A 25 FOUNDER
and some smaller ones were caught

Another Vein of Coal.

Last Sunday the drillers of the
main shaft went into another vein of
coal at the depth of approximately
$50 feet. The log of the core drillers
showed the vein to be about 6 inches
in thickness, but when it was uncov-
cred it averaged about 10 inches. If
this rate of increase is maintained
the big SO inch vein at the bottom
will be much larger than the log
shows it to be.
The boys have been troubled con-
siderably with bad air in the main
shaft the latter part of last week and
the first of this, and few of the
boys quit on account of it, This has
been remedied and most of the boys
have gone back to work. A couple of
new men from other fields came in
Tuesday and went to work, but there
is room for several more and the
Dowells would like to have all the
shifts full.
Work on the grade for the new
switch is progressing slowly but
surely. Doc Overton has several
teams at work pulling down the big
dumps at the shafts and carting it
out to the grade which is gradually
assuming shape and begins to look
like a railroad He could use several
more teams, but as this is the busiest

teams are hard to get-Cainsville

Boy Bit by a Mad Dog.

For several days Charles Stock
wells dog has been acting queerly,
and on Tuesday of last week bit
Master Allen Williams on the hand
The wound healed over, but on Sun
day morning the dog was acting so
strangely that those who saw the
brute pronounced it to be almost
surely case of rabies Yesterday
Mrs. T. A. Williams left with her son
for Chicago to have him treated at
the Pasteur Institute. 1t is the hope
of all that the treatment will elm
mate all further danger for Allen.
The Stockwell dog bit number
of other dogs while it was running
at large, but on Sunday morning it
was shut in an old smoke house, and
died showing unmistakaole signs of
hydrophobia late yesterday evening.
The city officials decided that it
would be criminally foolish to take
any chances and Mayor Whaley has
issued an order that all dogs within
the city limits must be either muz-
zled, tied up or shot A number of
dogs that We're bitten by the Stock
we'll animal have already been killed,
and if the owners of dogs will either
XIII them OF keep them tied up for a
few weeks there will probably be no
further danger.
We note from the papers that two
mad dogs were killed at Kansas City
last Monday morning. DR.. Frank
Hall, Kansas City pathologist, re-
ports that already he has treated
twenty4four cases of rabies this
month, and he says there seems to be
an unusual number of dogs going
mad for this early in the season. All
persons having dogs playing around
children should keep the brutes
muzzled during the hot weather.

Base Ball.
Leon Wins from Osceola.


The way the Boosters pounded the
ball last Sunday on the home grounds
was enough to beat any team, but
Osceola happened to be the visitors
and the natural result followed, and
at the same time the locals got re-
venge on the enemy for their recent
defeat at Osceola.
When time was called at the end
of the ninth the count was Is to G.,
Osceola having used three pitchers
in an effort to stop the smuggling, but
they all looked alike to the locals, and
when it was all over the hit column
showed total of eighteen bingles
for Wright's kids. Some smuggling
that! Wright was suffering from a
sore finger on his pitching hand but
gamely went in the box for Leon, but
retired in the seventh in favor of
King after the game was safely put
away on ice. King performed very
creditably in the two innings which
he worked, allowing two singles and
one run.
Wilkins started on the mound for
the visitors and lasted until the fifth,
when he was replaced by Wisebro,
but he got the high sign at the close

volved on Moore, who stood it out to
the finish.

SUCCESSFUL PASSENGER AIR
SHIP.
Count Zeppelin Makes Successful
300 Mile Trip Carrying 20
PASSENGERS

Dusseldorf, Germany, June a.
The first regular air ship passenger
service was inaugurated today when
Count Zeppelin's great craft, the
Deutschland, carrying twenty pas
sengers, successfully made the first
scheduled trip from Friedrichshafen
to this city, distance of 500 miles,
in nine hours.
The trip demonstrated the advan-
tage of the air route in the section of
the country traversed. The Deutsch-
land cut the railroad time one-third
between Mannheim and Dusseldorf,
covering the distance in four hours,
whereas the railway express time is
six hours.
The weather was perfect and the
motors worked faultlessly. The aver
age time maintained for the COM
plete course was approximately 33
miles an hour, but the 124 miles
between Friedrichshafen and Stuff
CART was covered at an average rate
of II miles an hour The best speed
for single hour was 431a miles.
Count Zeppelin was at the helm
when the Deutschland left Fried
richshafen at o'clock this morning
and sailed away on the trip that was
to mark an epoch in aviation. The
passengers We're some of the direc-
tors of the Hamburg-American
steamship Company and the German
Air Ship Stock Company, joint own
ers of the dirigible, and their guests.
They occupied the carpeted and ma
hogany walled cabin, from the win
dows of which they viewed the seen
cry as the aerial car swept along.
Count Zeppelin steered for the great
er part of the distance.
The route was via Stuttgart, Mann
helm and Cologne to Dusseldorf. 1t
had been carefully marked out in ad-
vance for the guidance of the pilot
and was followed exactly. There was
no air stirring and the Deutschlan
made its way unhampered through a
flood of bright sunshine
The hour and minute of the prob
able passing of the various points
had been bulletined ahead, SO that
not only the people of the cities on
the line, who filled the streets, but
the inhabitants of all the intermed-
late villages turned out and cheered
enthusiastically as the immense tor
pedo shaped air vessel, with it's whis-
Ting screws, drove over their heads
at height of between 200 and 800
feet.
The Deutschland swung gently in
to its landing here at noon and the
multitude surrounding the landing
yards shouted a welcome. The city
had been gayly decorated in honor of
the event. The promoters of the en-
terprise and their guests were enter
tanned at public dinner.
Regular trips will be made and
many tickets already have been sold
for the first few days at from s25 to
$50 each. The air ship is equipped
with restaurant, which will supply
the passengers with buffet service,
such as is afforded on railroad trains.
The Deutschland is 485 feet long
and 46 feet wide. Its gas capacity is
24,852 cubic yards, and it carries
three motors having a total of $50
horse power. 1t was designed to
maintain speed of thirty-ive miles
an hour. Its lifting capacity is A.
600 pounds, of which IL, 900 pounds
covers the crew, passengers and ex-
press. 1t is expected to be, able to
accomplish a continuous trip of 700
miles.

angels ease when he should take up
a mans work.
But the selfshness we most need to
fear is that which shrinks and blasts
the finest in us when we imagine that
we are reaching out for the enriching
of our lives. 1t is that paralysis of
the soul which creeps gradually over
scheme Of each getting all from others
and the universe as grabbag in which
the biggest hand gets the eternal prize
The folly of that way Of living Is
just in the fact that, though a man
should gain the whole world by the
very process he would lose his own
soul, his heart would have dried up
within him, and all his being would
be but as one great, grasping hand
and no more, neither heart to quicken
with joy nor eyes to kindle nor pow
ers of any sort to appreciate that
which he called his possessions.
To think only Of yourself is to lose
yourself. 1t Is to narrow the whole
life down to that insignificant center
Of the self. The measure of living
is its richness and breadth Every
time your heart goes out in sympathy
to another you broaden your very self
that much. Every time your hand
goes out in helpfulness you lengthen
thus the lines of your life You amount
to more in yourself in the measure

of living.
Do you not see people on the street
in whom the lifeless eye and the me-
chanical mouth mark the growth Of
the brute, the habit of blind indiffer-
ence to the rights and needs of others?
Now, what are they worth? Who so
poor as to do reverence to any good
thing in them? They have lost them
selves in seeking things for them
selves alone.
keep alive in ourselves the nerves that
give life its sweetness and value, If
we would enrich our true selves, we
need ever to keep the heart open to
others, ever to fight against the suicide
of selfishness 1t is all a simple mat
ter after all, just to give thought to
the lives that touch our own, to let
the heart grow by sympathy and serv-
ice.
1t takes us all long time to learn
! that love and joy are never found by
running after them they are glowing
lights that shine within us when we
step into the ways of service and sac
ri1ce. We try to snatch them and
they fade; we seek to give them and
they become our own.
The man who seeks heaven for him
self alone will miss it just as truly as
the man who seeks the earth for him
self alone will die without discovering
any of it. That is the law of life; he
who would find life must take the way
of losing it; if we would be rich in
deed in the imperishable treasures of
life we must cease to seek them; we
must try to give them.
