Your correspondent learns from Mr. Ragan that it is extremely probable that the road will be extended northwest from Hast- ings this fall, although the matter had not been definitely determined upon. In suchan event Hastings would be made a general di- vision station. A shooting tournament will be held in this city conmencing next Wednesday and last- ing twodays. Many sportsmen from sur- rounding towns and ounties have expressed their determination to be present. I'he pro- gramme includes live birds, Peoria black- virds, elay pigeons and glass balls. Many special prizes are offered, and it is expected that the oecasion will be & notable one in the sporting annals of the state. 3 Deputy United States Marshal Hastings was fu the city yesterday with a fellow who had been arrested on a bench warrant. issued by United States Commissioner Tanner. of Hastings.

CHURCH AND KNIGHTS. Cardinal Gibbons Sees Nothing Wrong in Orzanized Labor. BALTIMORE, August 14.—The American will print to-morrow an interview with Car- dinal Gibbons in which Le says: “Cardimal Taschereau’s condemnation of the Knrghts of Labor should not be taken as the sent- ment of the church toward that organization. 1 am not familiar with the labor organization in Quebec, but it is certain that the cardinal’s hostility grew out of some local laws, or ihe conduct of the knights, which are contrary to the doctrines of the church. As to the Knights of Labor organization in the United States | have not thoroughly examined their constitution, or studied thelr purposes, yet from reading the newspapers and Mr. row- derly's public statements, 1 infer hat the objects of the knlghts are’ pralsewortliy und in no way opposed to the views of the church. Catholic prelates will, toa man, declare in favor of the organization of labor. There can be no wrong in such a course. Organiza- tion Is the basis of all progress, political, so- cial and religions. Only when it is abused does the church raise her voice and call out her children. — Gone on Vacation. WAsHINGTON, August 14.—Secretary Lamar left Washington 1ast night for Yonk- ers, N.

Smith, of Trego & Co., pulled a needle out of .the muscle of his left forearm the other day. It was an inch and a half long, and discolored, but not rusty. How the neecle got into his arm Mr. Smith doesn’'t know. He is now sixty- e of age and has no recollection of having swallowed one or of one runnin, into him. He never felt it, or suffered any inconvenience from it week his arm pained him a little feeling the spot through his thought a boil was coming. The next morning when dressing be looked at the place and was surprised when he saw the c of a needle. He got the needle out ith his fingers, and pmd no attention to the hole, which ' disappeared in 8 day or two, and there is now no trace of it on his arm. Mr. Smith still has the needle, and will preserve it. “Needles themselves,” said a physi- cian, *have no motion ana cannot travel. You might get one into your foot or arm without knowing it if your mind was oc- cupi with snmt-lhil‘lfi else at the time 1 bave heard of a needle traveling in the body, but never had a case in my prac- tice, nor do I know of any one else who has had. A needle will work up or down a leg or an arm by muscular contraction and expansion and the individual be un- aware of its presence until one end or the other comes to the suriace.” “A good many people,’" said another physician, ‘beheve thai & heedle is car- ried along by the eirculation, but that is absuid.” 1ts motion is due 10 the working of the moscles. A needle will pass through not only thin tissue, but through almost anything in the body without being apparent or doing &ny injury. 1| have heard of needles goi, walls of the stomach and the intestines, but never had a case. There are posiuve and negative elements in the body, sud these doubtless act upon the needle and turn it over or in any direction. . 1t does throngh the not follow becanse the needle eame out | i head first that it went into the arm that way and remained in that particular place. The gentieman probably had the needle run into him when he was a child, bui that is not altogether certain. It may have gotten in recentiy without his know ing afiything about it.
