Cherokee, okla, Jan 10 A freight
car on the Missouri Pacific railroml
had the strangest experience at YateG
Center two nights ago that ever be
fell freight car
The car was not altogether the
proper kind of car anyway, or rata-

At Kansas City il was obliged to
take the Missouri Pacific and travel
las far as Wichita whore 1t would
Ithen be switched TO the Orient and
preach its de stnation over that line.
Nobody noticed The condition Of the
car, apparently, all the hours it was
travelling from Peoria to Kansas City,
but sometime after the car was
Iswitched onto the Missouri Pacific
track at Kansas City, the condition

hours the unfortunate car stood help

Center the parties who bored iat0
the contents emptied every barrel Of
liquor that sat on its individual bot

The Missouri Pacific officials say
that there has never been case on

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Use on an Important Scale Dates

Their Use on an Important Scale Dates
From 1876.
The first experimental philosopher to
discover that electric light could be
produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy, who in 1910 exhibited
light three inches long, between car
Dor points, before the Royal society OF
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use of electricity as an
illuminant until more than half CEN
fury later. The Centennial exhibition
held In Philadelphia in 1876. really
marks the era of our present form
of electric light, though electric lights
had been In use abroad prior to that
time. The exhibition of models ana
practical demonstrations of electric
lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted
the attention of scientists and capital
lists in this country, and the first IN
candescent lamps and the first arc
system were put to practical use ia
q small way in 1878 The Brush arc
light gained favor In the beginning
as the most adaptable for street light
ing, and Cleveland, O., the home OF
Charles Francis Brush, the inventor.
was the initial American city to ADOPT
the arc system for street lighting.
Since 1878 both the Brush arc sys'
TEN and the Edison incandescent sys

He Inflicted Many Defeats on British

ment sent out Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and General Lord Kitchener,
with thousands Of fresh troops to put
down the Beers. All their arrange
ments were completed by the early
part of February, 1900. General Cronje
and his Boer forces were too greatly
outnumbered to withstand the ava
lanche which fell upon them. On Feb
ruary IS, Cronje was brought to bay
at point on the Modder river, near
Paaderberg, where he defended himself
for nine days in position that was
impregnable to assault, but greatly ex.
posed to artillery from surrounding
heights. After suffering to such a de-
gree that his men would endure no
more, Cronje surrendered on February

TRYING To ESCAPE
GIRL ASPHYXlATED
Tragic Death Of Mics HSIVea-
StOn at Jacksonville.
HOME WAS At LAKE CITY.
Awakened at Night by Oder of Escap-
Ing Gas, Young Girl Tried to Reach
Door of Room When overcome by
the Fumes.

Awakened in the early hours by
the odor of escaping gas, Miss Minnie
Helvenston, an occupant of a board
ing house, 22S East Duval street, Jack
sonville, arose from her bed and in an
effort to reach the door and fresh air
succumbed to the gas fumes and drop
ped unconscious between her bed and
a trunk. Her body was found there
a short time later by boaTders who
had traced the escaping gas as coming
from her room. Efforts to obtain a
physician proved of no avail until it
was too late. Occupants of the house
and friends did everything In their
power to save the young woman, but
she never regained consciousness. Her
brother, Whitfield Helyenston, of this
city, had the body sent to Commits
undertaking establishment and later
shipped to his parents in Lake City.
When the body was found it was
carried out to the rear porch and
every effort made to revive the young
woman. Someone telephoned to al
most every physician in tlwn before
securing DR., CASTOR Gay. By the time
he arrived his services were of little
use.
The parents of Miss Helvenston re-
side in Lake City. Her brother, Whit
field, lives in this city. Hubert and
B. w. Helverston, her other two
brothers, reside in Live Oak. Her one
sister, Mrs. Frank, lives in Lake City,

GOLDEN GATE HAS

Panama Exposition Goes to
San Francisco.

New Orleans Was Defeated by Repub-
lIcan Votes, the Democrats Gener-

A Washington dispatch says: The
House of Representatives, by a vote
of SS to 1859, deci6ed in favor of San
Francisco, and against New Orleans,
as the city in which an exposition to
celebrate the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915 shall be held.
The vote was taken on a roll call to
determine whether the San Francisco
resolution or the New Orleans bill
should have consideration in the
House. On final vote, the San Fran
cisco resolution was passed by vote
of 259 to 43.
The advocates of San Francisco are
claiming that their fight Is won, and
that the Senate will ratify the action
Of the House.
San Francisco won by capturing the
Republican vote in the House. New
Orleans support came from the Demo
Gratis. Only thirty Republicans voted
for New Orleans. Thirty-six Demo
Gratis voted for San Francisco. The
San Francisco resolution does not ask
for government aid in any form. 1t
simply authorizes the president of the
United States to invite foreign nations
to participate in the fair
An effort to amend the resolution to
include provisions for an international
naval parade from Hampton Roads
through the Panama canal and up the
west coast to San Francisco was de-
feated on parliamentary point Of Or

The New Orleans bill called for an
appropriation of $1,000,00O for a gov.
eminent exhibit and the creation of a
government commission.

HaIcyon DAYS.

"Alcyone. or Halcyone, the daughter
of Aeolus, married Ceyx," said the
Latin professor. "Ceyx was drowned,
and Alcyone on learning of his fate
threw herself into the sea. The gods
were moved by the tragedy of the
young lovers. They brought them
back to life in the form of halcyons,
or kingfshers, and they decreed that
for the seven days from Dec. % to
Dec. 20 the sea should remain calm
while the sea birds built their nests
upon it. Those seven days. the last
of the year, are therefore called hal.
cyon days-days Of tranquility. a kind
of very late Indian summer. Here in
America we have no real halcyon
days, but the myth of Alcyone and
Ceyx comes from the Mediterranean,
and in that blue and gold region 1t is
a fact that the year is ushered out by
a procession Of still, mild, splendid
days-silent and glittering days Of hal
cyon weather. "-Washington Post
