Sudden Death at Wilcox
Wilcox Nob Dec 1G Special
The citizens of Wilcox were shocked
this morning upon learning of the death
of Mrs J J Lamborn widow of Capt
John Lamborn of the Third Nebraska
regiment who died at 3 oclock this
morning Just two years ago Mrs
Lamborn suffered a paralytic stroke but
had seemingly recovered from it and
was in her usual good health up until
the hour of her death Her daughter
Miss Lottie who occupied the same bed
with her was aroused at about 2 oclock
by her mothers groaning Upon failing
to awaken her she at once arose and
awoke the remainder of the family who
immediately summoned medical assist
ance Dr Burford responded but Mrs
Lamborn passed away shortly after his
arrival without regaining consciousness
News of her death has cast a gloom over
the entire community as she was a wo
man greatly admired by all who knew
her Seven children are thus left alone
the youngest being about 7 years of age
which fact appeals to the sympathy of
everyone in the community Funeral
arrangements have not yet been com
pleted but it has been announced that
intorment will take place at Indianola

Ashburnham Ont April 18 1903 I
think it is only right that I should tell
you what a wonderful effect Chamber
lains Cough Remedy has produced
The day before Easter I was so distress
ed with a cold and cough that I did not
think to be able to take any duties the
next day as my voice was almost choked
by the cough Tho same day received
an order from you for a bottle of your
Cough Remedy I at onco procured a
sample bottle and took about 3 doses of
the medicine To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disap
peared and I was able to preach three
times on Easter Day I know that this
rapid and effective cure was due to your
Cough Remedy I make this testimon
ial without solicitation being thankful
to have found such a God sent remedy

ihe point Is a curious example of
an action in which instinct and reason
meet The stopping of the dog howev

ty become instinctive The dog even
when quite a puppy slops when it
smells the game and remains almost
paralyzed its impulse to rush In and
seize it being checked by a strong In
stinct to stand still Yet the dog after
he had accompanied his master and
had game shot over him is quite
aware that lie is a half controlled me

nating pointing instinct will look
round Imploringly to his master to urge
him to hurry up if the scent tells him
that the birds are moving A border
line action of a different kind is the
squatting of young birds It is a per
fectly reasonable precaution Keeping
still and lying low are not characteris
tics peculiar only to Brer Rabbit but
it is most remarkable to see the way
in which tiny peewits or little teal

An lffectlve Telegram
When Senator Depew was president
of the New York Central Railroad com
pany ho received a telegram which he
preserved for a number of years and
now and then showed to his friends
says a reminiscent writer for the Wash
ington Star This telegram reached
him one fine morning a short time be
fore Senator Piatt was elected to the
United States senate for the second
time It was sent from one of the sta
tions of the New York Central and
read
Please stop the noon express here to
take on Mrs Piatt and ME TOO
It was a very unusual thing for that
train to stop at that particular station
but Mr Depew at once gave an order
to have it done
This telegram was referred to in the
presence of Senator Piatt on one occa
sion
You see said the senator I want
ed that train to stop without the least
question of doubt I knew that the
way to reach Depews heart was with
a joke and so I sent that telegram
A Persistent Office Seelcer
Governor Stanley of Kansas was
once so pestered by office seekers re
lates the Saturday Evening Post that
he found it necessary publicly to make
the statement that In view of the ex
ceedingly numerous applications for
office he had received through the
mails he should be unable to give any
attention to them mucli less afford
any hope of success to the various ap
plicants
t In the course of a few days f ter
making the statement in question the
governor received the following note
My Dear Governor I understand
that you have said that you were go
ing to take a week off to destroy the
pile of letters asking for jobs If ev
erything else is gone then my dear
governor I should like the job of tear
ing up the letters
Gunpowder and Artillery
There is abundant evidence that the
origin of gunpowder and artillery goes
far back in the dim ages of the past
The Hindoo code compiled long before
the Christian era prohibited the mak
ing of war with cannon and guns or
any kind of firearms Quintus Curtius
informs us that Alexander the Great
met with fire weapons in Asia and
Philostratus says that Alexanders con
quests were arrested by the use of gun
powder It is also written that those
wise men avIio lived in the cities of the
Ganges overthrew their enemies with
tempests and thunderbolts shot from
the walls Cassells Magazine

Not All Due to Impure Water
The Burlington has built no water
purifying plants up to this time and it
may not for some timo to come if in
deed it ever doo3 That does not mean
that the road is having no trouble with
its boilers It is having a great deal of
it and impuro water is given as a cause
for part of it Many of the officials of
the road who havo given tho matter
much study believe that much damage
is done through tho carelessness or tho
lack of skill in enginemen in forcing
cold watSr into tho boiler at inopportune
times
That this may bo corrected the Bur
lington has a traveling engineer who in
structs enginemen in relation to the in
jection of water into boilers One of the
rules is never to use both injectors un
less absolutely necessary and the other
is to use no ejector longer than enough
to reduce the steam pressure 5 pounds
Owing to the difference in specific
gravity in hot and cold water cold water
forced into the boiler near tho front end
travels backward in tho boiler along the
bottom thus cooling the bottom shoots
until it reaches the part directly over
the fire box This causes two tempera
tures or to be more precise many tem
peratures in the boiler at the same time
The water over the crown sheet may be
como much cooler than that in other
parts of tho boiler thus causing a
shrinkage in the metal at one place and
an expansion in another This shrink
age has a tendency to draw the portion
of the boiler nearest tho fire which may
be coolest inside away from the flues
and cause leakage
The purifying plants now in use leave
tho water to be used containing much
alkali The Burlington has had a great
deal of trouble with water in the north
west which contains a large percentage
of alkali Because of this fact it has
been slow to adopt the purifying plant
system although it may yet be forced to
follow the lead of the other roads
Tho traveling engineers instruct the
enginemen as to how best to use inject
ors causing the least possible harm to
the boilers In this way boiler life has
been lengthened but whether it will
be shown that the benefit derived is as
great as expected yet remains to be
seen If in the end it is found that it
is not some other plan must be worked
out and it is said that it is possible
water purifying plants will be adopted
The step is an expensive one jet were it
certain that it would do all that is
claimed there would be little hesitancy
installing such apparatus at all water
stations
The life of an engine depends on the
life of its boiler That is the one thing
that wears out quickest With the big
locomotives that cost great sums the de
struction of a boiler means a big loss
When a boiler begins to leak the engine
must go the shop Eventually the
shopmen find ijt impossible to repair ex
cepting by substituting a new boiler for
the old
Wo may be wrong says a Burling
ton official but we are working on the
theory that the great damage to boilers
is caused by the manner in which cold
water is injected into boilers If we
are wrong when wo decide to follow oth
er roads in this matter we will have the
benefit of their experience and other
roads will have the benefit of ours We
pay a great deal of attention to the
water question and it is not an easy
matter to name a solution of a trouble
that is worrying a great many operating
department officials
Work For The Coming Year
The Burlington has ordered Foreman
Ackerman of the Havelock shops to
build S new K4 engines With other
work that may be ordered and the regu
lar run of repairing this will keep tho
shops busy for the coming year
The new engines will weigh 10 tons
more than the oldKis and their general
build will be proportionately heavier
Tho boiler will be four inches larger in
diameter it will be longer and the
frame work of the engines will be
heavier The Kis now in service pro
ducts of the Havelock shops are regard
ed as the best all purpose machine
The run longer without causing j
ble audvneeding repairs than any of the
others so the enginemen claim They
are used in both the freight and passen
ger service and in addition tu great
power they have speed
Indications are for a busy year at the
shops The shop3 havo had a great
deal of work during the past year and
there have been no labor troubles nor
