the Mahdists In 1884 he had a mar
row escape from death after sensa-
tional adventures. The confidence OF
the British IN him was such that they
made him an honorary major-general
OF the British army and lieutenant
general OF the Egyptian army. From
1900 until this Summer he continued
as British inspector general OF the
Soudan.
A hospital surgeon from Frankfurt
relates the following incident In con-
nection with the case Of the wounded:
"a sergeant by the name OF Keller

and surgical operation became
necessary. The patient was put I'M
der an anesthetic, but as he objected
to chloroform, he was told IN order
to divert him, to count backward
from 200. He counted 200, 199, 1913,
and everything went all right until
1879, 1873; then, however, he continued,
1873, 1879, 1870. In order to convincs
myself of the progress Of the anes'
thetic, I said to the sergeant: Don't
count ahead, you were told to go back
wards" Suddenly the sergeant burst
out, as though he were commanding
a battalion: What, Go backwards!
We don't go back; we always go for
ward"

ALARM WAS
SENT IN LAST NIGHT
That Dunean-SehelI Furniture
Store was Burning.

A false alarm was sent in to the
fire department last night. when 1t
was reported the Duncan-SchelI furni-
ture store was burning. Arriving at
the store no fire could be found and
a search of the building from cellar
to roof failed to reveal fire. A heavy
fog at Fourth and Main streets, ap-
pearing very much like smoke. is be.
lfeved to have caused someone who
turned in the alarm to believe the
store on fire.

diate response from the stock market to
this weeks Developments In the case. The
present market Is wholly q professional
affair and the trading element has dwelt
on the possibilities for and against rate
increase until the matter has substan-
italy lost It's power Of animating specu-
lative sentiment. It Is pointed out that
the combined net earnings of the Eastern
lines for the first seven months OF the
fiscal year decreased 35l.ooo.ooo. whereas
the actual money value to the roads of
. per cant increase viii only Be from
&t5.ooo.o0o to 351.oQo.oo per snnum. But
OF course the value in dollars and cents
Of such . decision will be far overshad-
owed In importance by the establishment
OF the principle Of granting higher rates
when their need u proved The knowl-
edge that the railroads are not to be
gradually driven into bankruptcy and that
there are means Of relief open from the
onerous burdens OF rising operating costs
and Increased taxes ought to have tre-
mendous eject upon Investment senti-
ment both here and abroad.
