A SUCCESS STORY.

From section hand to vice president
OF great railway system is long,
hard climb.
An Iowa boy made it.
Early in the seventies w. G. Brown,
aged sixteen, was a section hand on
the Milwaukee road In the evenings
he stayed around the telegraph office.
where the obliging agent permitted
him to practice on the key
He mastered telegraphy
In little while young Brown was a
telegraph operator Soon he was known
as the best operator on his division.
When he was twenty-five years of
age he was train dispatcher on the
20" system, with headquarters at Bur-
lington.
Then came an opportunity.
One Sunday night in midwinter a
fierce blizzard swept over the middle
west. In. the railroad yards at East
Burlington were some 800 loads of cat
tie. Unless they could be got into the
sheds the Burlington road would lose
thousands Of dollars.
1t was none of Browns business.
But
When his days work was done he
went to the superintendent and asked
for the job of taking care of the live
stock. He said he was once section
hand and knew just what to do and
how to do it.
The next morning T. J. Potter. then
head Of the Burlington system. came
down to the superintendent's Office.
He said:
Things are pretty bad over at the
east yards, I suppose"
'srhey would have been but for that
young train dispatcher"
Potter was told how young Brown
had volunteered to get the cattle out
Of the cars into the sheds and of his
success.
sWhat is lis name? A man like that
d worth watching
After that incident Brown went IN

ager. He did not know it, but while
he was reaching, up for the rounds Of
the ladder Tom Potter was behind
pushing him.
Then came vice presidencies. and
now he is the executive chief of the
great New York Central, actual head
of the Vanderbilt system.

HerscheI was a poor music teacher
aand played church organ. Becoming
zSzEsrested in astronomy he studied the
T9eGks in bed mornings and evenings.
Exe worked long and patiently to build
akzs own telescope. Herschel discovered
azAe planet Uranus, and that fixed his
z1ame for all time.
AND Horace Greeley.
Greeley put in nearly twice as many
gahnms In his day as the average

Vice President Wilson laid the foun-

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inaamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of 10 are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
tiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

oatarrh) that cannot be cured by

n oil introduced in the senate
BY Senator Nottingham, Of Portland
and passed by that body yesterday af-
ternoon passes the house and escapes
The goyer99rs veto, the owners Of
homes viii Gdd that though the filing

their property will exempt It from
execution for any other debt, thatit
win not exempt It from a debt in
CURED for materials furnished for
building upon It, and that material
man may by ayaillng himself Of the
law have a lien upon the building.
The bin provoked more discussion
than any other passed yesterday af-
ternoon by the senate. Senator Ma
sarkey opposed It on the ground that
he believed that the material men had
protection enough now. He pointed
out that under the existing law a ma
terial man in the event that the con-
tractor should fail to pay him, though
the owner had paid the contractor,
could file a lien on the building and
make the owner pay it over again
He maintained that that was unjust
and that to now extend the rights
OF the material men to the extent
that they could have an execution
prevail against a homestead was 60
ing too far. The butcher and grocer
can not have an execution against an
owner when a declaration of home
stead has been fled on the property
did not even have lien when the
property is not protected by a home
stead filing-and he maintained that
the material men should have no
greater rights than they
Senator Nottingham in defending
the measure pointed out that every
law passed protecting a debtor lin
fted his credit and spoke of the in
Justice which had been committed un-
der an old mechanics lien law. He
maintained that the owners of homes
knew. the law and could protect them
selves and that in most instances
that the material men notified the
owners that they had furnished the
contractors materials and that they
would look to the owner of the home
for their pay and that they could en-
force II through lien.

Gould Move the Farm.
Senator Hawley's bill providing
that the owners Of farms may name
them by paying 81 to the county
clerk IN the codnty in which the
owners reside and that upon so do
ing no one else can use the name for
their farm, passed the senate, and If
It passes the house there will be no
need Of farms running at large any
longer without appropriate names
Senator Sinnott called attention to
the fact that under its provision a
farmer living in Marion could have
registered here the name of farm
located in Baker county or some 9TH
er county in Eastern Oregon and sug-
gested that the provision should read
that the application for the naming Of
the farm should be made where It
was located instead OF in the county
where the owner resided.
Senator Norton suggested that the
inconvenience might be overcome by
moving the farm.
Senator divers bill regulating the
terms of the Tenth and Eighth judi
cial districts passed, and also a bill
by the same author providing that

supreme court that the clerk of the
