The feasibility of
freight cars to party the enormous
weight of thirty tons of freight was
favorably discussed at,the mjuter oar
builders’ convention, and a practical
experiment has already been made on
the Union Pacific road, a oar contain
ing 1,000 bushels having been run
from Solomon City, Kan., to. Kansas
City. The peculiarity of this car is
aoentral track* by means of which it
is claimed that all freight cars can car
ry from 50 to 100 peroent, addition
al weight.
While the railway mileage of t)ie
United States is nearly six times that
of Great Britain, there 1b a striking
disproportion in the locomotive
equipment per mile of the two coun
tries. In Great Britain, on Decem
ber 31, 1881, there were 18,727 lo
comotives to 18,175 miles of line, or
one engine to every 1.3 miles, while
in the United States at the same time
the number of engines reported was
20,116 to 104,000 miles of line, or one
engine to each 5.1 miles. This indi
cates tbe vastly greater business per
mile of the British roads, which it
must be remembered more than, half
are double track and all run through
a densely settled country. How much
greater the traffic of British roads is
than that of lines in our new and
thinly settled oountiy is shown still
strikingly by tbe foot that while gross
earnings for the British lines for 1881
were more than [$332,700, the gross
earnings of 94,500 miles of our lines
are reported at only $725,000,000,
or an average of about $17,700 per
mile for British railways to $7,600 per
mile for those of the United States.

Mr. Riohard W. Gone, while clear
ing a piece of pine land, one and' a
half miles east of town, and digging
about a foot below the surface, dis
covered a tomahawk or war hatohet,
very well preserved. It is of steel,
sixipchea long, and is two and quar
ter fnohee wide on the catting edge,
tapering to seven-eighths of an inoh
at tbe eye; the metal from whioh it
is made is three-sighs of an inch
thick ; the eye is formed by a weld.
The pole of the hatohet is of brass,
formed in the shape of a cup, and has
a hole running through it clear into
the eye of the hatchet, intended,
probably, to admit a screw with
which to attach an additional piece.
We have never seen a similar imple
ment, and have shown it to but one
person who claims to have seen such,
and he says that the brass oap whioh
forms the pole was need for a pipe
and that the handle of the hatchet
was bored and had a mouthpiece mak
ing a complete pipe as well as
hatchet.

MALARIA
Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are.able to fath
om. Its cause is most fre
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nec
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it It
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self
Malaria once Urine laid Its
hold upon the human frame, the
door or the system is thrown open
to nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, bat subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions;
thelivcTDecomes torpid, and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addidontobcing a certain cure
for malaria and chub and fever,
Brown’s Iron Bitters is highly
recommended for all diseases requir
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es-
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter
mittent fevers, want of appetite, loss
of strength, lack of energy, etc.
