Engineer Gives Life to Save Pas- sengers. Kansas City, July.—G. P. Reed, Osawatomie, Kan., a Missouri Pacific engineer, was buried under the | wreckage when his train left the| track on an embankment near Dod- | son, just out of Kansas City. Reed | stuck to his post when he knaw the | engine hada broken wheel and would | be derailed at the first curve, and | thus saved the hundred or more pas- | sengers of the Missouri Pacific Hot Springs special from possible death or injury. J. J. Boyle, the fireman, was the only other person injured. The train was traveling about 35 miles an hour. Suddenly the flange on one of the left drivers broke, and for almost 100 yards the engine bumped along on the ties. With the certain knowledge that the train would leave the track at the sharp | curve a hundred yards ahead, Reed reversed his throttle and applied the air. * The engine turned a complete som- | ersault and buried itself in the mud | at the foot of a trestle. The mail and baggage car followed. Reed’s body | was hot recovered until several hours later. < The Largest Fish Yet. Although some monster fish have | been taken from the Marias des Cyg- | nes and Osage rivers this season, the | largest yet exhibited in Rich Hill was brought to town by Dick Huckeby and D. Able. The big fellow, a cat, weighed 55 pounds and was a sight to behold. The fish was sold to John Hagan, the butcher, and was sliced up for the public like so much beef- steak. Two masses of eggs, each containing thousands, weighing five pounds and a half were taken from it. > 9 ) — TT) | emer meee a a} ALDRICH MAKING | Shoe Manufacturer Declares Bry- cratic votes, more Democratic senti- | when ten of its principal representa- ; atorial committee in Washington that ~ | prospects for an increase in the price DEM.

There is only one way to cure deaf- ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucuous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or-imperfect hear- ing, and. when it is. entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal con- dition, hearing will be destroyed for- ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces, We will give One Hundred Dollars for ba case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. culars, free.

The merits of this particular case are in-| significant in comparison! with the | magnitude of the main question. | Judge Gantt emphatically upheld the right of a newspaper to criticise the official acts of a public servant, and that is a right which on the one hand | cannot be too stringently guarded by the courts nor too wisely exercised by the press.

Men who would laugh to scorn all the moral deter- publicity. at that this power, wielded as it is by their fellows, should be occasionally abused, but it is to the lasting credit of American newspapers that such abuses are rare.

New Haven, Conn., July.—Presi- dent Taft paused ia the course of an after-dinner speech to 1,800 grad-' uates of Yale, gathered at the annual alumni feast, to issue a serious note of warning to congress and to the leaders of the Republican party. The president declared that if the party which placed him in power and so long had controlled the government failed to live up to its promises and the expectations of the people it would be relegated to the position of a minority opposition. | Mr. Taft had been speaking humor- | ously of recollections of his college days, which made his sudden change | to a serious tone of the important ut-| terance upon national affairs all the | more impressive. The _president| spoke extemporaneously and his ut-| terances as to the duty of the party of | which he is nominally the head seem- ed the result of a sudden impulse rather than of studied intent. | Auditor Gordon at Clinton. - Among Clinton’s guests at the M. D. A. meeting none are receiving heartier welcome than State Auditor Gordon. Mr. Gordon was a traveling man previous to his election, and he owes his political success largely to the commercial tourists of the State, who rallied around him in a solid phalanx. Mr. Gordon is accompanied by his wife, who also enjoys a wide acquaintance over the State and whose tact and kindliness have made her recognized as one friend put it, ‘‘even a better politician than John.’’—Clin- ton Democrat.

An ugly mess has resulted in Clin- ton, says the Clinton Daily Democrat, from the hasty action of the city au- thorities in tearing out the hitching racks about the public square. The} jracks were torn outlast week and farmers coming to town Saturday } were compelled to hunt out-of-the- way places to hitch their teams. The county court met and ordered the racks put back upon the county court house land. The city authorities or- dered a fence erected to keep teams from being hitched to the new racks. The county dug up an old grant of thirty feet to the city from the county | square given for street purposes and ordered the sheriff to arrest all erect- ing obstructions upon this strip. Sher- iff King promptly arrested all those who were erecting the city fence. And still the trouble grows. Citizens of Clinton are trying to arrange mat- ters for the erection of convenient hitch yard fitted with racks, water and electric lights. The Democrat, speaking for the people of Clinton, denounces the hasty action of the city authorities in tearing out the racks. The force of men who put the posts | and wire up to keep the hitchracks | from being used, on, Wednesday | morning were set to work taking | them down. | While the racks have been restored | the movement for an outside free hitch rack will not be allowed to! lapse but from the present outlook ! such will be provided in addition to the ones around the square. | Can’t Wed All: To Be Nun. | Boston, Mass., July. —Suffering be- cause she does not wish to choose between three suitors who have ask- ed her hand, and is conscientiously | determined that she will not offend any two of the three by accepting the | third.
