The committee that was ap
pointed some time ago by Miss
Maggie Butler, secretary, to look
after the installing of the public
library in the high school build

but some progress is being made
and before long it is hoped to
have the library ready for use by
the citizens of Monmouth.

THE OPIUM USER.
Ha Halpad Sufficing Humanity and
Died a Wracciiad Haro.
The worst railroad wreck 1 ever
saw developed u ieal hero in the
persou of a morphine addict.
The transcontinental sleeper in
which 1 was a passenger was going
through the deserts of Utah. 1 had
just finished shaving when there
was a terriiic crash, and the ear be
gan to roll over and over down the
high railway embankment. When it
stopped I managed to crawl through
a broken window. The porter of
the car in which 1 was traveling
emerged through the shattered win
dow behind me. I told him 1 was
a doctor, that among my effects he
would find an instrument case and
a small hypodermic pocket set, and
he returned to get them for me. ,
Knowing that the greatest need
for my services would be in the vi
cinity of the engines for it was a
head-on collision I went as fast as
possible to this locality. Near the
locomotives 1 came across the body
of one of the engineers, whose leg
was almost severed, the blood from
a torn artery i spurting high in the
air. With the towel still in ruy
hand with which I had been drying
my face at the time of the accident
I made a tourniquet, and, jerking
a rib from the bleached bones of a
coyote's carcass lying near, tighten
ed it until the red flow was
stanched.
To the gathering passengers I an
nounced that I was a physician
and would take charge of the injur
ed as they brought them to me. An
operating table was improvised
from the door of the baggage car,
seats and trunks, and as the wound
ed arrived 1 gave whatever first aid
was possible. The excited but un
hurt hysterical women were calm
ed by being ordered to make band
ages from sheets commandeered
from the sleepers. In all I attend
edabout 100 passengers.

ings of the victims became greater
I realized the great necessity for
more. Every doctor U familiar with
the characteristic and peculiar pal
lor of the opium user. I had re
called seeing one of these unfortu
nates on the train, and guessed that
he would have a supply of this nar
cotic with him. Leaving my tem
porary operating table, 1 went
among the passengers in search of
this man, and finally found him,
badly bruised, lying beside one of
the demolished cars. 1 asked him
to give me what morphine he had.
lie cheerfully complied, handing
me all in his possession, two botJ
ties.
What that drug meant to the
many injured on that hot, treeless
desert no one but a physician can
ever understand.
My first act, after seeing that the
badlv injured were given attention,
was to get some morphine and hunt
for the dope fiend. I found him
dead. The shock of the collision,
his run d'iwn condition and the fact
that he had been deprived of the
stimulating effects of the drug had
killed him. W. E. Aughinbangh,

VAGARIES OF MEMORY.
Curious Cm of an Ignorant Girl Who
Could Racita Latin.
The psychologists have given
much study to the vagaries of mem
ory, which ere among the most in
teresting of mysteries. Why do we
forget certain things and remember
others? This question, together
with many others of a like nature,
seems as yet to be unanswered.
William James in the course of a
paper on the subject says something
which we hae tried in vain to re
call will afterward, when we have
given over the attempt, "saunter
into the mind" as innocently as if
it had never be.cn summoned.
Then, too, curiously enough, by
gone experiences will revive after
years of oblivion, often as the result
of some cerebral disease or acci
dent. Such a case was that of the young
woman in Germany, who could nei
ther read nor write, but who was
held to be possessed of a devil, since,
in a fever, she was heard raving
in Latin, Greek, and in an obscure
rabbinical dialect of Hebrew. Pages
and pages of her talk were written
down, and they were found to con
sist of sentences intelligible in
themselves, but not having the
slightest connection with one an
other. Finally the mystery was cleared
up by a physician, who traced the
girl's history to the age of nine.
Then, he learned, she had been tak
en to the house o an old pastor, a
great Hebrew scholar. She remain
ed in this liouse until the pastor's
denth. It had been for years the
old scholar's custom to walk up and
down a passage near the kitchen
and read to himself in a loud voice.
His books were examined, and
aniqng them many of the passages
taken down at the girl's bedside
were identified. The theory of
demoniacal possession was of course
then abandoned. Washington Star.
Ho Popped.
A gentleman who had been in
Chicago only three days, but who
had been paying attentisn to a
prominent Chicago belle, wanted to
propose, but was afraid he would
be thought 'too hasty. He delicately
broached the subject as follows:
"If I were to speak to you of mar
riage, after having only made your
acquaintance three days ago, what
would you say of it ?"
"Well, I should say never put off
till tomorrow that which should
have been done the day before yes
terday." Modern Lift.
"Guess we have time to play an
other game of pool."
"Won't your wife scold about
keeping dinner waiting?"
"No; I think I'd better allow her
a little leewav about dinner. I jnst
saw her scudding by with a bridge
prize nrider one arm and a cen of
soup under the other." Louisville

The first settlement on the
present site of San Francisco
dates from 1776. It consists of a
Spanish military post (presido)
and the Frauciscan mission of
San Fancisco de Asis. In 1836
the settlement of Yerba Buena
was established in a little cove
southeast of Telegraph Hill. The
name San Francisco was, how
ever, applied to all three settle
ments. The United States flag
was raised over the town in 1846,
and the population rapidly in
creased, reaching perhaps 900 in
May, 1848. The news of the
gold discoveries was followed by
crowds of fortune seekers, so
that by the end of 1848 the city
had an estimated population of
20,000. From that time on San
Francisco has grown rapidy.
The first regular overland
mail communication with the East
was established by pony express
in 1860, the charge for postage
being $5 for half an ounce. In
1869 the completion of the Cen
tral Pacific Railway to Oakland
marked the beginning of trans
continental railway communi-
