Dave is one of an army of men who spend their lives in track work on our grand trunk lines of rail ways but whose work is never taken into account by the traveling public but who are instrumental in making the great iron bands that bind and bring the remotest sections of the earth closer together, of a more substantial character than they have been heretofore It is to the army of men like Dave and his jolly crew that we are indebted for much of the pleasure we derive from railway travel.

Long may he and his kind live and may their shadow never grow less. The Rambler man met Mr. W. Thomas last Tuesday. Mr.

Thomas is one of the substantial citizens of that section situated about two miles southwest of this place. He has been in the saw mill business for years and is well known as an enterprising citizen He has put in machinery for the manufacture of tile and brick. The greater share of the work will be in tile although some brick will also be made. Aside from the ordinary drain tile and common brick, a hollow brick, similar to the Utica, Illinois, fire proof construction material will be made. Mr.

Thomas informs us that he has a bed of splendid clay for brick and tile purposes. We have no doubt but what be will find the manufacture of tile and brick a profitable business The business of tile drain ing is just opening up in this section of country and an immense amount of them will be used during the next few years. There ought to be a good- market for brick too in and around LaPaz. We wish Mr. Thomas the very be6t of success.

Hermann Snyder's Confession. The Etory of His Connection with the Crime at Daniel Snyder's Residence on the Bight of Ho v. 12. The crime for which Hermann Snyder and Frederick Throop were sent to the Northern prison, the former for ten years and the latter for fourteen years, is only too well known to the Times readers. It was understood by some that Snyder had left a written confession of his crime.

Through the kindness of Marshal B. H. Rose, who arrested Snyder at St. Paul and who succeeded in getting from him a confession, we are enabled today to present the written details just as given by Snyder. They are as follows: The first I knew about old man Snyder was through Six.

One day while we were at work at Tescher's we got to talking about our rich relatives. He said he had a rich uncle about ten miles in the country near Lakeville, by the name oi Snyder. He said he was a regular old miser; that he always haa from eignt to ten hundred dollars about him; that his house burned down a few years ago and he had four or five hundred dollars burned up. There was no more 6aid about it for three or four days. After that then he said, "Herman, what is the matter with us going out there and tap the old man?" I told him it would be pretty 6caly to do anything like that.

tie said there was no danger, that tney could go out and tear the old house down and nobody would know it, that the house was over a half mile from any oth er. wen, it ran aioner lor two or tnree weeks and at last he said, "Snyder, it is pretty risky for me to go out ihere for every farmer knows me along the road; what is the matter of you taking Jack Hani along with you?" I said, "I don't believe that Jack would have anything to do with it." Then he wanted to wear a mask, but when the time come he backed out. He said, "I have given you the lay of the land, now get somebody to go with you." I don't know who I can get; 1 will speak to Fred, and per haps he will go with me." The night we went 1 left the house at aoout nine p. tn. and drove to the barn to get the tools.

I could not find them as Fred had put them away. Then I drove to Pearl avenue and Fred got in, and we went out the Turkey Creek road until we came to fanyder lane and t-en wo drove to the house. We got there about il p. ei. We had no weapons.

All I had a pen knife. Fred did not have i.hat much. The first thing we done at er we got there was to go and try all the loors. They were all fastened. Then we went to the front door and tried to press it in and the first thing we knew here was a shot fired through the door.

The second shot went through Fred's pants up by the thigh. Then we ran red ran east and I ran west and as 1 passed the window the old man blazed tay at me. Then we went around to he side door and broke it open; went in and knocked out the 1 of the sitting loom door. The old man shot again and ve ran out. The old man then came to the side door, and I had the erub-hoe in hnndp.

as he came t-" the door he saw me at intedhis pis ol at my head una tired, ball 6truck me hereon the right side ot the head, making a bad fiesh wound. I then knocked him down with the grub-hoe. I only hit him once I would not have harmed him but had to knock him down or he wonld have killed me. We then took him to his bed room and laid him on the floor. Then we broke open the chest.

We got twenty-five dollars in silver that was no good, as it was all black and some that was melted. We threw that in the river dorvn by And we got six one hundred dollar notes and these we burnt up. Then weputtiieold man in bed and came home. You will find the pistol at The next morning Six came up to my house and asked me how much I got. I told him twenty-five dollars.

I gave him five dollars. He got mad and said he "knew a sight better;" that we trot eight hundred dollars. Then when 1 wenr to work we quarreled and he discharged me. Then I commenced to get scared and went to St, Paul, Minn. The money we took over to Jackson's barn and hid it there.

I took twelve dollars with me to St. Paul. All the shooting that was done was done by old man Snyder. South Bend Times. By G.

W. Roof. Some Curious Facts. In linear perspective drawing a few well-known rules must always be ob served. Such objects as buildings, streets in cities, aud all cubical forms, as well as the perspective of superficial areas, the following must be established: Horizontal line, perpendicular line, and vanishing lines.

The point of vision is established at the intersection of the horizontal and perpendicular lines, and is the height of the eye when view ing the objects The feet rest upon the base From the top or highest point in the picture and from the base, vanishing lines run in opposite directions, and come to a point on the horizontal lino, just as the object recedes from us. In a building viewed from one corner (nearest the eye) all lines except the horizontal, recede from us on both sides" of the corner (or perpendicular). Now if we will divide the building as represented on paper at this perpendicular, and place the two vanishing points together, we shall have a continuation of these receding or vanishing lines; and these vanishing points will center at the apparent end of the street as indicated by a dot in our illustration. Suppose we should continue the buildings as seen on each side of the street, (which is the same width throughout) to the dot (or vanish-ing point) in the distance, would the buildings actually close up the street? If not, why? On this same subject may be mentioned the following fact: If we stand on the ground near a tall building have-ing the same width from bottom to top, we will discover on viewing it as an entirety that the top is much narrower than the bottom. This may beillusrtated by photographing the building with a single swing photographic camera, when the picture will be represented as we have indicated.

This is in harmony with true linear perspective: but in this, the eye has been differently educated, hence such pictures are made by the photographer with the aid of what is called a double swing camera, in which the instrument (or lens tube) is pointed toward the building midway between top and bottom, while the camera back (which holds the sensitive plate) is swung forward to a perpendicular position. The exposure is then made, the negative developed, and printed upon the photographic paper, thus presenting the picture of the building of unvarying width from the ground up, which seems to be more agreeable to the delicate sense of vision. The eye is a very peculiar organ, and in some instances stubbornly refuses to communicate to the brain the true condition of affairs unless pacified with extraneous aid, and occasionally a little flattery. Such is the fact in determining the size of objects at at a distance or when viewed in the picture on paper. Ir" a tree be sketched on paper, its height cannot even be approximated unless some other familiar object (such as a man or well-known animal be placed in close proximity.

So also if we paint a building on canvas, and do not represent windows and doors, we fail to comprehend its dimensions. If a tall man and one or short stature were placed together in a picture, someother familiar and unerring object would have to be placed near them before the eye could be satisfied as to whether one was a giant or the other a pigmy. When visiting an art-gallery we always see beautiful women and notable personages placed on the canvas in close proximity to some article of furniture, book, stove, room, pen and inkBtand. hat, sewing machine, dishes animals, vehicles, otherwise they would be mistaken for midgets or giants. The eye, being no exception to other organs of the body, must, like them, be educated or trained to do the work allotted to it.

When one witnesses the mechanic with hammer and chisel in hand, unerringly cutting, one by one, in rapid succession, the little grooves on the sickles for a reaping machine, the truth flashes upon our minds that both the eye and hand have had a rigorous training. There is much thought and opportunity for extended observations in this line of facts; and one need not reach outside of common things to obtain information of a truly interesting character.
