It is hard to fully realize how great is ths demand ii-t at present for all sorts of railro id muerials and equip ment, and the statement of a man long connected with ono of the larg est locomotive works in this country is especially interesting, says the Railroad Gazette. He eays that par ticular company now has orders that will keep its plant running to the full capacity until next April, and it is safe to assume that other builders are similarly fixed. Railroads placine or ders now cannot get deliveries much under seven or eight months. It i? also stated that this is the first time within fifteen years that this particu lar locomotive building company has found it unnecessary to solicit orders, and, further, that it is now impossible to accept all of the business that comes unsolicited through corres pondence. M. A. Shipman, who was chief clerk in the master mechanic's oflice in 1S91, came up from Central City yesterday and will go out on the front in the capacity of operator. Alliance Time?

As will be seen by the announce ment in this issue, Carrie M. Contry man of Rock Bluffs precinct is a re publican candidate for the office of county superintendent. She was born in that precinct-March 22, 1868. Her early education was acquired in the public schools in that neighborhood. After teaching two years, she entered the Weeping Water academy, from which she graduated in 1890 with the highest honors. After two years more experience in teaching, in 1892, she beciims a student in the University of Nebraska, where she completed a four years' course. Then later, after teaching again, she returned to tehe same institution, in t898, to pursue post graduate work. This 6tudy included investigation in psychology with specialization in child study and the most recent educational problems. With a few months more work there she could be ready for a second gradu ation. For nearly twenty-five years her record shows continuous effort in educational work. Evidence goes to show that she has been one of our most thorough and progressive teach ers. Miss Con try man has always ranked well as a student, and has en joyed the esteem of her pupils and the respect of her instructor. BRIEFLY TOLD. C. A. Marshall, Dentist. A. W.

Beebe of 73 Dunlap street, Memphis. Tenn., a wonderful madstone, which tor 75 years has enjoyed the reputa tion of performing wonderful cures of hydrophobia. Mrs. John Shelton, the sister of Mru. Beebe, is the owner of the stone. It was willed to her by her father, a minister in the Chris tian church, to v horn it was presented by a poor German woman in his par ish. The pastor made good use of it for more than half a century. In all those years only two persons treated with the stone failed to recover. One of these had let the wound go un attended for over nine days; the other vas a farmer, too busy with his crop to permit of the applications which were considered necessary. Mrs. Shel ton lost her father twenty years ago She has used the madstone constantly -ince and has never either lost a case or made a charge for treating. People come from far and near to be treated, In many instances dumb brutes that have been bitten by rabid doss have died, while people bitten by the same dogs have recovered, showing con clusively that the artlmals were mad. The stone Is broken in several pieces and has something the appearance of a piece of coral. It is porous and absorbs the poison when applied to the wound. It was broken by being gnawed by a valuable dog. The dog was being treated for hydrophobia. He had been' bitten and the stone was bound to his wound. He not only gnawed the stone off. but tried to chew it Into bits. The stone is applied by being first put in hot water for a few minutes. Then it is taken out and placed, as hot as can be borne, upon the wound. This Is repeated hourly for twelve hours. If there is more than one wound the treatment Is extended to twenty-four hours. An Un necessary Explanation. He was describing a hold-up In which he had played the yetar part. "Yes," he said, "the biggest ruffian held me so tightly against the brick wall that I could feel the mortar scratching my backbone. 'Gimme your watch.' he growled. I gave It to him Immediately." There was a pause. "Gave it right up, eh?" said the breathless listener. "Yes," said the victim, "I did." Then he dreamily added: "You see, I was pressed for time!" Cleveland Plain Dealer.
