turbed.

Hawesville, KY, May 3o.--The beaver
an animal that was supposed to have be-
come extinct many years ago in this Sec
ton of the country, has suddenly made
its appearance in Hancock county by
dsmming up Blackboard creek, a stream
of considerable size. Where they came
from is a mystery, as one has not been
seen in this section of the country in
the last fifty years But for the curiosity
Of a ten-year- old boy their discovery
might not have been made for years.
Joe Wiles, merchant and farmer of
the Chambers neighborhood, rented
from his brother in-law, Ira Chambers,
farm in Blackford bottoms, which is
seven miles south of Hawesville. Mr..
Wiles decideg to put the bottom land in
corn and accordingly set to work to
pillow up the field With him went his
ten-year- old boy, who, hearing the
roaring made by the water running
over something, determined to investi-
gate.
Quietly slipping through the dense
underground, he made his way to the
creek bank, thence up the creek few
hundred feet to the dam. Hurrying
back to his father, he told an exciting
story of what he had seen, claiming to
his father that someone had put dam
in the creek. Mr.. Wiles decided to see
what the boy had found, when to his as
constituent he discovered perfect dam
across the creek five or six feet high and
about forty feet long.
Willows had been cut along the creek
by these industrious little fellows, woven
together and plastered with mud in such
a manner as to make the dam water
tight. A mason could not have done a
better Job with trowel. The work is
all new work, which shows they have
not been here any great length OF time
drainage district has recently been
established in this bottom, but, as the
new ditch will not go near the old creek
at this place, the little beavers will not
be disturbed, but will be watched with
much interest.

very complicated and is liable to get

When people have dealings with

seem to have high regard for the cor

there are numerous causes tor delay

they ask if thsir freight has arrived to
be told that it has not, or again if they

are human the same as themselves,
would have greater consideration for

there would be. Instead of waste coun.

little closer he can observe a network
of the arteries of commerce where
trains are carrying their loads of hu.

other essentials of modem living.
Before we deal with the men that are
directly connected with the running of
the trains, we wish to state that there
are many important positions to be
filled, from the president of the road on
down, which, under modern systems of
railroading, are indispensable to the
successful operation OF railroad. Re.

all times on the alert to see that the
rolling stock, as well as the track. is in
proper condition to perform their du
ties
We wish to show the responsibility of
every man that is directly connected
with the operating of train when it is
sent out on the road. First, we take
the dispatcher, who gives orders for the
train to run, and who has to be on the
alert at all times as to its moveme MIS-,
either bv telegraph or telephone, and
may be both. He has to guard it from
both front and rear-end collisions by
keeping in touch with all the operators
along the line, so that he may know not
only the movements of one particular
train, but all the trains on that line.
We want to call the attention to great
care that he takes in giving the exact
time and place of meeting of two trains
in his orders, and the operators along
the line have to exercise just as great
care in receiving these orders just as
they are sent, and deliver them to the
conductor m2tlv on the arrival of
his train, who in turn delivers a copy
to the engineer before proceeding.
When the conductor calls all aboard
he then takes on himself not only the
duties OF seeing that each passenger
reaches his destination on time, but
also the responsibility of giving the
passenger proper protection against in .

If this action stands the 500 will be a
