One man la particular was so mad that he wanted to fight but Frank Wheeler Is a pret ty big man and the pugilist thought better of his intentions. The secret of all these strange ac tions is found in the fact that Mr. w'heeler had nailed some strips of zinc across the settee and connected them up with a small battery which was stored inside the store. At the proper time, the current would be turned on and the man setting on the chair would get a shock which would start his back teeth. There was a great deal of sport going on all af ternoon with the settee and those who were loafing around In that lo cality had much fun watching the antics of the victims. Some of them Blmply got a good shock and left at once. Others were all tagled up by the shock and were unable to move, being held helpless by the current. It was fine fun and those who stood across the street in Herman Spies' had some fun over it. -:o:- When that Ohio law prohibiting minors from smoking in public places rocs Into effect an Increase may be looked for In the Insurance rates on barns. :o: - The reformed reformer thinks everybody who doesn't take his advice is going to hades.

The Missouri Pacific is preparing to commence work at once on their new bridge over the Platte river and also to do bank widening and cut widening. To facilitate this work they have opened a new telegraph station at the river and installed a day and a night operator there. Jim my Norton has been given the place of day operator while Joe Stakata will hold ddwn the night end of the Job. Both these young men are Platts mouth boys and have learned the business in this city. They are ex cellent selections for the jobs and will acquit themselves with credit in their new capacities. The object of the office at the bridge Is that the trainmen and work trains may be kept in closer touch with train move ment over the road and to prevent de lay to through trains. As the build ing of the new bridge will take some eight to ten months and the work on the cuts and banks will also take some time, the office is likely to be In service for a year at least. The office was opened Sunday when the Instruments were cut in on account of the ice gorge. lies distresses his best friends. "No and shipping trade.

Raltlmore Sun. lng of an engineer, a fireman, a con ductor, one brakeman and one flag man. The necessity of a flagman In these days of Intensive railroading will be recognized by every traveler. Freight trains must have an equally largo crew, and main line local freights carrying passengers, doing switching and carrying merchandise must have three brakemen. Not only does this make for the safety of the public and the employes, but It In creases the opportunities for the em ployment of railroad men. :o: L. C.

This is generally the first ques tion the doctor asks. He knows what a sluggish liver means. He knows what a long list of distressing com plaints result from constipation. He knows that headaches, bilious attacks, indigestion, impure blood, and general debility are o.'ten promptly relieved by a good liver pill.
