Five-Year-Old Steve Kutoloskl
Drowned Friday Noon
While at Play.
BODY IN THE WATER 72 HOURS
About 10 45 a. m. last Friday, April
:10, Steve Kutoloskl, a lad a little over
Ave years old, and a younger brother,
were playing along the bunks of Soldier
Run just above the Worth street
bridge, near their home, and Steve
ventured too far cut on a log lying
alon the bank and he slid into the
high and rushing stream and was soon
carried down to death. When the
younger lad saw his brother slide Into
the mad waters he ran home and told
bla mother and she came nut in time
to see h6r darling son go down beneath
the waves (or the last time.
The alarm was given and soon a
number of men were standing along
the stream ready to do anything pos
sible to rescue the boy, but tbey were
too late. While a number of men
searched and dragged the stream Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday for the body
of the boy it was not found until 10 45
a, m. Monday, 72 hours after the buy
had fallen into the stream. George
Hanley, lsaao Kerr, Dan Bush and
Thomas O'Conner found the body
lodged in some bushes and rubbish just
above the trolley bridge near the
company store, some three hundred
yards below the place where the boy
had fallen In.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
body had been in the water 72 hours,
It was well preserved and the round,
'plump, pretty face of the boy showed
no signs of having boon In the water
so long.
Steve Kutoloskl was five years and
six montbB old. The son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Kutoloskl, Polish peoplo,
who reside In the house near the
Worth street bridge. Funeral service

QUEER HUMAN FREAK DIS
LOCATED JOINTS AT WILL
An Exhibition Before the Local Medical
Society That Was Remarkable.
Last week a man giving his name
as Hllllard and Harrlsburg as his borne,
drifted into town and on Friday after
noon gave a most remarkable exhi
bition before the local Medloat Society
of his power to dislocate and replace
joints by voluntary evolution. Mr.
Hllllard could mako three dislocations
at one time, hip, knee and ankle, also
shouldor, elbow and wrist, and replace
the dislocations at will. Mr. Hllllard
says his his father, himself and h's
son all threo have the power to dis
locate and roplaofl their joints at will
and that there are few, If any, other
men in the country that can dislocate
the three joints at one time. All three
of the mon are giving exhibitions and
lectures before medical societies almost
continuously. Mr. Hllllard gave a very
interesting talk to the doctors Friday,
no olalms that it is not by training
that either himself, his father or son
are able to perform this wonderful feat
of dislocating their bones, but that
they were all three born with that
power.

Sykcsville People
Enjoy Cheap Gas
Every Man May Have a Well
In His Own Back Yard
If He Desires.
Drilling for gas and oil goes on apaoe
in many localities In Jefferson and
Indiana counties, but there is very
little doing as to practical results, ex
cepting at Syknsville, whore everybody
that owns property can have a gasser
If they so doslre.
And they don't need to bore half way
tbrougb the earth 'to get it in the
Stump Creek metropolis, either. Any
old bole 114 feet doep will yield gas
at Sykesville, and at least a dozen
fain II Ins reouive tbelr supply of fuel for
all purposes from a hole In the back
yard.
Wednosday a Punxsutawney expert
on gas wells was called up by Mr.
Saddler, a Sykesville merchant, who
wanted to know how to control and
utilize a flow of gas be has bud on
hand for several days. Mr. Saddler
put down a well, expecting to get
water, but when the drill got to a
depth of J 14 feet the gas pressure be
came 8') strong that the digging was
abandoned. The desired information
was telephoned to the inquisitor and
now another Sykesville family need not
bother about where tr.e fuel is to come
from.
J. B. Sykes, the well known botol
proprietor, of Sykesville, developed a
well soveral years ago and he Is still
getting bis fuel from that source. The
rock pressure is not great, but sufficient
for domestic purposes.
It is reported that the company
which Is developing the Paradise tei
ritory, In Henderson township, is hav
ing more or less trouble. The well
on the Andrew Pifor farm Is down
2 8(H) feet, but the drill ,'haB not boon
operated for several eeks. The com
pany has about 6,000 acres under loaso.
and expect to go down 3,500 feet.

The Sleeping 81cknese.
The terrible sleeping sickness of
tropical Africa Is discussed nt length
in nu article In Fopulnr Mechanics.
The disease, which long bullied scien
tists, Is spread by the tsetse fly, a
bloodsucking, day flying Insect. On the
approach of either man or animal at a
river crossing in the densest forest
tho victim is soon scented out by the
fly, if there Is one In the vicinity, and
then, cither silently or with a peevish
buzz, It makes straight for the most
accessible spot and gives Its stab.
Tho usunl course of the disease Is
from four to eight months. At the
outset there are li endue he, a feverish
condlton, lassitude and a correspond
ing disinclination to work. The facial
aspect changes, and a previously happy
and Intelligent looking negro becomes
Instend dull, heavy nnd . npathetie,
Later, tremor in the tongue develops,
speech is uncertain, and mumbling,
walk shuffling and progressive weak
ness, drowsiness and oblivion to his
surroundings afflict tho sufTerer. The
last stage Is marked by extreme ema
ciation and a coma deepening into
Jeatu.
An Elixir of Life.
"An annuity Is the best elixir of life
I know of," snld the examining physi
cian of an insurance company. "It
sometimes seems ns If annuitants
never die. We have lot? on our books
who top eighty, ninety and even ninety-five
yenrs. I have passed many a
sickly nnd decrepit old fellow as a
good annuity risk the sicklier they
are, you know, the better risk tbey
make and the next year he has turn
ed up to collect his annuity rejuvenat
ed, rosy, spry as a boy. The secret?
The secret is that financial worry, fear
of tbe poorhouse, ages and kills off
more people than all the deadly dis
eases combined. Release an old man
by means of an annuity from all this
worry, and he throws off his years and
walks erect and happy and fearlessly
young."

KING COAL
While He Lives His Throne Is Fixed
In the United States.
The part played by coal lu tbe
world's affairs can well be Illustrated
by assuming the available supply to
be suddenly cnt off. The huge rail
road systems of America would stop
at once. So also would the electric
power and lighting In ail cities and
suburbs. Steamship service would
cease everywhere. Transit facilities
would be dead. Factories, manufac
tories and shops would close down.
Vast Industries like steel, Iron, copper,
etc., would cease. Armies of laborers
would be thrown out of work. Malls,
schools, the navy, newspapers, foreign
and Internal trade all would cease to
rxlst. The trilogy governing commer
cial ndvnnco, hent, light and power,
except a negligible amount of water,
oil, etc., would be annihilated nil this
until some other form of power could
be developed. The possibility of such
k cntiiclysm Is not imminent, for coal
will reign for some time yet and Is
destined to beconio a power whoso ca
pabilities have as yet been compara
tively felt only more faintly than would
a feather on the hide of an elephant.
The world needs conl. Tho United
States has that coal to deliver. It will
be wholly naturul that so potent a ne
cessity will make for continued peace
and understanding among the powers
of the world.

about 3,000 feet deep. Conl is still

EARLY CARICATURES.
Quaint Art and Humor of the Ancient
Egyptians.
The fubles of Aesop prove that tbe
ancients were not without a liking for
fun, and the remains of ancient art
tell the same story. Examples of ar
tistic humor are more common than Is
generally supposed.
A drawing on n tile In the New York
museum represents a cat dressed as an
Egyptian woman of fashion. She Is
seated languidly on a chair, sipping
wine out of a small bowl and being
fanned and offered dainties by an ab
ject looking tomcat with his tail be
tween his legs.
'ihe cat figures largely in tbe ancient
comic groups of animal life. In a
papyrus In the British museum a flock
of geese are being driven by a cat
and a herd of goats by two wolves
with crooks and wallets. One of the
wolves is playing a double pipe.
There is In Turin a papyrus roll that
displays a whole series of such comical
scenes. In the first place, a lion, a
crocodile and an ape are giving a vo
cal and Instrumental concert. Nest
comes an ass dressed, armed and scep
tered like a pbaraoh. Wlth majestic
swagger he receives the gifts present
ed to him by a cat of high degree, to
which a bull acta as proud conductor.
A lion and a gazelle are playing at
draughts, a hippopotamus Is perched
In a tree, and a hawk has climbed Into
the tree and Is trying to dislodge him.
Another picture shows a pharaoh In
the shape of a rat drawn in a carriage
by prancing greyhounds. He Is pro
ceeding to storm a fort garrisoned by
cats having no arms, bnt teeth and
claws, whereas the rats have battle
axes, shields and bows and arrows,

HEAVY INCREASE OF LAKE
TRAFFIC IN RECENT YEARS
Interesting Facts About the Immense
Tonnage of Iron Ore, Oiain and
Package Traffic.
In order that It may be able to handle
with dispatch all package freight that
may be offered It, tho Erie and Western
Transportation Company a Penn'syl
vanla Railroad subsidiary oompany
operating the Anchor Lino on tfie
Great Lakes has placed a contract for
a 5.000 ton steel paokage freight steam
er, to be called the "Conemaugh." She
will be a sister ship of the "Wlssa
hlokon," which was placed in sorvloe
in August, 107. '
Traffic on tbe Great Lakes has In
creased so rapidly in the past twenty
years that It has reached a point where
a fleet of nearly 3,000 vessels Is required
to ball the 100,000,000 tons of freight
that pass through the lakes every
year In the eight months of tbe navi
gable season. It has been estimated
that this amount of freight would make
a train long enough to encircle the
world, and have about 2,000 miles of
oars left over.
The greater part of the lake trafflo
l In grain and Iron ore, tbe tonnage
of the latter having inoreased from
2,500,000 tons In 1885 to 41,000,000 tons
In 1907. Tbe Inorease In paokage
freight has been porportlonate to tbe
growth of shipments of heavy com
modltles, and It is to he prepared for
such further Inorease as may oome
that tbe Anchor Line has ordered a
new steamer, to be equipped with tbe
most Improved machinery for handling
package freight.

THE WATER SUBSIDED SUNDAY
At least twice a year tho people liv
ing on the lowlands In this section ex
pect to see their homes surrounded
with water and they are never disap
pointed. Tbe heavy rains of Wednesday
night, Thursday and Thursday nlgbt
disturbed the placid old Sandy Lick
creek and it spread itself all over the
lowlands, just as it has done many times
before. While tbe water was uncom
fortably blgb for thn people who live
near the steam at this place, some of
them being compelled to move to tbe
second story of their dwellings, yet tbe
water was not within 10 inches as high
as It was four years ago.. Two years
ago the water was about as blgb as
it was last Friday.
Nelson Brady, tbe horse doaler, who
resides on what Is known as "Poverty
Flat," took all his stock, but a Shetland
pony, off tbe flat before the water got
too high to get them out, and when the
water got into the barn the pony was
taken up onto the front porch anC even
there It got Its feet wet.
