Not with drugs, but with a rein

Scientific analysis shows that diges-

some of these agents are lacking in

November Term VIII be Convened by
Judge W. 8. Hamilton at 10
O'Clock Monday
Morning.
FEW CRIMINAL CASES
Tho Grand Jury Will Not Have Any
Very Important Matters to Probe
During Their Last
Session.

court will be convened here Monday
morning at 10 a. m, by Judge w. s.
Hamilton of Fort Madison.
The term promises little of inter
est in criminal way. The grand
jury session should not be lengthy, as
there are few matters to be taken up.
Among the cases which the body will
investigate is that of Frenchy Roland,
charged with attempted rape and per-
jury, who has been held by Justice
Leindecker on the latter charge The
case of William Graham, the Mont
rose farmer who threatened to kill his
family, will also be investigated. It
is said there is also an embezzle-
ment case which will be probed. At
the present time there is no indica-
ton that the grand jury will make any
Investigations which would lead to a
sensational report. There are but
two criminal appearance causes, both
being on appeal. One is the case of
the City of Keokuk VS.. Arthur Erick-
son and the second Is the State of
Iowa vs. Joe Waldorf.

CANADA PUSHES ITS ROADS
Three Transeontinentai Lines Built or
Under Way and a Fourth to
TideWater.

Canada will have three transcontin.
entail railroad lines and fourth road
to tidewater by way Of hudson bay, if
the policies Of the liberal government
are carried out.
The Canadian Pacific was the pioneer
road. The Grand Trunk Pacilic is rap
idly nearly. completion under govern
ment supervision. The third line to
span the dominion will be the Cana
dian Northern.
To insure the completion Of the third
line, the government purposes to guar
antee the Canadian Northern's bonds
to the extent Of 3k per cent on S35, 900
q mile for the one thousand miles be-
tween Montreal and Port Arthur. This
will link the company's eastern and
western systems. From Montreal to
st. John, N. B., 1t is proposed to oper-
ate the Canadian Northern over the
InterColonial. government owned
road. The latter road will be strength
ened by the construction OF new
branches and the acquisition of a num-
Der Of existing side lines at an ex-
pense of II million dollars.
The estimates also contain an item
Of two million dollars to be expended

Origin Of tho semaphore.

From the earliest times and among
savage nations beacon fires and inter
rupted columns of smoke have been
used TO give warning Of the approach
q CO enemy or the news Of victory
or defeat, says the London Strand
Magazine. Signaling by combinations
of flags is another early method, and
is still used at sea-
However, It was not until 1875. when
Lord George Murray introduced his
semaphore system, that anything like
an efficient means OF Geographic COM
munication was established. The ad-
miralty at the time. seeing the ad-
vantages Of such a system, caused
semaphore stations to be established
on all the highest points from London
to Dover, Deal and Portsmouth.
So effectual was the system that a
message could be, in favorable cir
cumstances, transmitted from London
to Deal, Dover or Portsmouth. and a
reply received back in London In sew
on and half minutes. The operation
was performed by three men in each
station, two Of whom were on the
lookout, while the third was employed
in working the six shutters, which
were placed over the buildings in two
vertical frames in such a way that IS
distinct signals could be formed.

ton during the year will get a premi-
UNI Of 800, while q premium of $50

The inspection and award will be
made by three committees, one for
each general managers district. These
committees will be composed OF the
engineer Of maintenance Of way and
four superintendent. Two Inspections
will be made annually, says the Rail-
way Age Gazette, one before the sea-
son for track work opens and the sec.
ond at its close. This plan will be put
into operation at once on fifteen Diff
ferent groups of subdivisions. and will
be extended to other parts Of the sys.
tenn az fast as conditions warrant.
Probably in no other ..:anch OF the
railway service does the inef1ciency
Of labor cost so much as in the track
department. It Is universally conced.
ed that the quality of track labor has
been steadily deteriorating In intelli-
gence and efficiency for many years,
and the railways, generally speaking
have done but little to combat the
tendency. The system Of awarding
prizes to the individual foremen whose
work shows the greatest improve
ment for a given period is perhaps the
best known and most widely adopted
method yet tried.
The Pennsylvania and the New York
Central have followed this policy for
many years. Among other roads fol-
lowing the same general policy are
the Queen and Crescent and the Union
Pacific. medals being awarded by the
latter road. The Santa Fee began an
experiment year ago with the bonus
system for road masters, foremen and
laborers. whereby the saving In main
tenance charges is shared with these
men.
Tho Union Pacific has established
educational courses for track laborers,
foreign as well as native, a special
course having been prepared for It's
large number OF Japanese 1aborers.
Such plans tend to stimulate efficiency
by appealing to the men themselves.

Professional Snake Hunters.

Hunting snakes for living may not
be an occupation that Is really pleas
ant in all its phases and it may not be
attractive to all classes Of men, How
ever, there is one man in San Antonio.
a Mexican, who has made snake hunt
Ing a business for number OF years.
He does not confine himself to the
harmless variety but makes special
ty Of catching the Cotton-mouth moe
casin and the rattlesnake. These are
caught alive and sold to Il dealer in
snakes. whose place Of business Is In
West Commerce street This Mexican
snake hunter has two methods or
catching a RATHER. If the snake is large,
he places a forked stick on It's neck
and holds it down until he can get II
hold OF ii in such a manner as to drop
it into a sack. But If it is a small rat
tier. stick is not used. The hunter
watches the reptile until II coils ready
to strike and then with a swift move
ment of the hand catches the snake
just below the head, grips 1t tightly
and slips it into a sack. While catch
ing water moccl } ions. however. he us
ually goes barefoot and when the moe
casin Is too large to be caught with the
hand it is lassoed with q small lariat
attached to the end of a stick. Some
times this is done by letting the rep
tile swim thru the loop. AT other times
it Is thrown over the head Of the swim
ming snake with as much accuracy as
a skilled marksman shoots with gun.
In the winter when snakes are hiher-
mating, the snake hunter finds hole
and thrusts a stick down it. Then he
sits down to watch. If the stick moves
he knows there is something below and
proceeds at once to dig out the snake.
But If there is no movement after
watching for a half hour or SO. the
hunter seeks another hole and repeats
the test with stick. 1t Is not an UNI
common thing for this snake hunter to
bag a hundred pounds of snakes in one
day These, if they be good specimens.
bring % cents per pound. alive. While
this is the only snake hunter In this
city, a number of men now in the
Kiugsville country, near the gulf, are
engaged in the business and follow 1t
all the year round. Recently 500 pounds

as result Of many experiments, he
brought out another engine which was
claimed to be superior to anything

prior to that time. On the trial trip,
