fering great pain all the night pre-
vious, and the case was soon diagnosed
as appendicitis. Mrs. fSchwarz was
brought to Glenwood on the first even

there must be an operation with the
least delay possible, DR.. E. +, J..

found Mrs. Schwarz s condition very
critical, the appendix having been per

For several hours the condition WIS
very serious, but the crisis was passed
Tuesday night and since that time there
has been a steady Improvement and at
this writing, Friday morning, the pa

to state that apparently she has passed
the danger point and is well on the

Ingenious German Device.

Several German villages have a PEN
ny-in-the-slot system of nocturnal IL
Elimination. At Jocketa, near Plauen.
in Saxony, for example, where they go
to bed early, the lights are all out at
eleven o'clock. But timid lategoer
by dropping penny in the box at the
foot of one OF the electric light stand
ards can illuminate half the village.
A second penny lights up the other
half. At Zarkau, In Silesia, they have
similar arrangement. A penny lights
up the whole roadway from the sta
ton through the village for twelve

FIRST RAILROAD IN AMERICA
Old Quincy Limo Really Can Claim
Honor Of Being the Pioneer of
Present System.

The Quincy railroad. or, as It was
known in the beginning. the Expert
ment Railroad" which was construct
ed TO carry granite blocks for the
Bunker Hill monument, at Boston, was
ehe first railway in America. The first
cars on this primitive line were drawn
BY horses.
A line known as the vlazie Railroad
was put in operation out OF Bangor,
Me-, In 1886, the Quincy road antedat-
ing this several years. The Bangor
road began with two locomotives OF
Stephenson's make in England. They
had no cabs for the driver or fireman
on their arrival in this country, but
rude affairs were soon attached. Wood
was used for fuel.
The first cars also were made in
England. a carriage much like big
stagecoach being placed on a rude
platform and trucks. The capacity of
each car was eight passengers. In the
beginning the one train on the line
made about twelve miles in forty min
utee. and the people of the country
round about marveled at the speed It
made.
The rails on these pioneer railways
were made Of strap iron. spiked down
to scantlings.
The Boston & Lowell, Boston &
Providence, and Boston & Worcester
railroads were all opened for traffic
In 1885.

our signals by wireless and rushed with
all speed to our assistance. arrived at

tenderness and care. Passengers gave
up their staterooms to all rescued with
out regard to class and everything was
done that was possible for our comfort
There were IA large lifeboats, two
smaller ones and two collapsable boats
and plenty of preservers. AS far as We
can ascertain there We're $50 first-class

Bassett asserts that he was induced
through the representations to sub
scribe $4,000 to the purchase of stock
of the Chapman Town company and
that he was to be the industrial agent
for the town company for two years
at $50 per month as further con

Bassett paid Conrad, he declares,
- 900 in cash and executed a promiS-
sorry note for $1,000. He paid all of
the money due on the stock and put in
nine months at work as industrial
agent in an elaborate suite of Offices

The offices, he says, We're fitted up

tion, after being nine months at work
as industrial agent, says in the conf
plant that he discovered that there
was no such town as Chapman except
in Conrad Tay.or's mind; that thera
were no surveys made, nor was Chap

that the representations made by Tay-
