A . . AN 10WA GRACE DARLING, Kate Shelly's Heroism in the Boone Floods, How She Saved Several Lives in the Northwestern Railway Aoccident. Boone Standard The eastern papers for yoars past have delighted to tell of the heroism of a young girl on the const of New England, the daughter ot a light- house-keeper, who has saved many lives from death by drowning through her coolness and fearlossness as well as by herskill as a water nymph. The fame of Grace Darling is world wide, and distance lends enchantment to the tales of her exploits and the re- cital of her graces of person. There never yet was human deed performed but some UNKNOWN HERO OR HEROINE in our own midst was equally capable of the same, given the opportunity. Once ina while such occasion is pre- sented and then we find the quiet, prosaic man, the least noted and least suspected for pure, unselfish acts and an(mnblo efforts, the demure maiden pursuing her unnoted way in the world, intent only on her little loves or the pursuits of a modest and cir- cumscribed line of life, burst sudden- 1y into public view through some deed of startling endeavor or great self- sacrifice, a Horatius at the bridge, a Joan of Arc. ‘When the wind and rain was pour- ing in torrents down the canyon through which the railway track from here to Moingona runs, on Wednes- day night of last week, A YOUNG GIRL OF 14 or 15 stood at her window at midnight, near the lower end of the ravine, watching the slow forward creeping of the pilot engine sent out to explore the condi- tion of the embankments and bridges. Suddenly, as it passed upon a well known trestle, she saw it drop and its lights disappear, and knew there were human lives in danger. Rushing out into the 8 orm and to the brink of the chasm, Kittie Shelly called at the top of her voice, with the hope that some poor struggler in the turbid waters might hear %\er voice and be encourag- ed by hor cry. She was heard, and back from the swaying tree top, in which precarious perch the engineer had found another lease of life, came an answer to her cheer, many times repeated. But the swollen streams forbade hearing the directions which were shouted to thé young girl, and she was left to her own resources to effect a rescue, which fortunately were not wanting. Alone and guided by the flickering light of a dim lantern, she commenced her journey through the tall wood to Moingona. A MILE AWAY, Mr. James' reformideas may be better understood by the two words ‘business rinciples” than by anything else. Vm success with the New York office nas emboldened him to undertake the enforcement of a similar process in the entire department. One of his plans involves a competitive examina- tion, the other that which has been several times suggested to congress — the adoption of a system similar to that which prevails regulating admis- sion to the naval ncademy and nt Wost Point. As the latter would preserve the importance of the member of Con- gress as an appointing power, it is probable 1t would be more apt to re- ceive the approval of congress, In anticipation of a revision and reconstruction of the present postal system of appointments and securing uniformity, a general inquity will be instituted as to the present management of the most im- portant office in the country. No two of theso offices are now managedalike. The Washington oftice has been put under investigaticn and a personal in- spection of the Baltimore office, The main purpose of the department is to remove the Post Office from the pale of local politics, According to Post- matter General James, a government post office should be something more than a mere local political machine run at general expense. If he suc- ceeds in carrying out his ideas of re- form Mr, James will have revolution- ized the postal serviee before his term expires, ALBION NOTES. The Crops Reported Booming and Everything Lively. AuwsioN, Boone Co., July 20, To the Editor of Tun Ean: The crops and weeds together are just booming in Boone county, and it is hard to tell, in many cases, which will be the biggest crop, as this has been the greatest growing season we have ever had in this county. The farmers in this county will have to commence farming less acres per man and team, and farm them better than they had to when the land was new. There are great numbers in this county who believe, with the editor of Tur Beg, that the dastardly at- tempt to assassinate President Gar- field, was just as much the result of Conkling'’s war on the president as was the killing of President Lincoln the result of the war of the rebellion. While Conkling's resignation is looked upon as something like the boy taking up his marbles and going home when things did not go to suit him, and by so doing trying to break up the game. Conkling may be a friend to summon help. She crept beneath the swaying branches, her face brush- ed by the switching undergrowth, wet to the waist by wading through the little hollows, of the hillside, each now a running brook, losing her wa; at times, though every foot of the route was a known page under ordi- nary circumstances, and at last came out upon the long railway bridge. Here HER LIGHT BLEW OUT, but she did not hesitate. Across the slippery baidge ties, for there were no planks, she neflpad, guided only by the shastly flashes of the lightning, while the wind blew a gale and wrap- sed her skirts about her head and renched her eyes with the cold spray of the storm. Beneath her were the waters whose embrace was death, Six feet had they risen in an hour; one false step and they would close over her forever. They dashed and howled against the prers and across the ice break, clam- oring for her, and licking out their foaming tongues and flecking the trembling timbers with their froth, There must have been a Providence which guided little Katie Shelly’s foot- steps across that perilous passage in the awful' night until the safe ground of the western embankment was reached and she fled through the black darkness, with streaming hair, and outstretched bare and gleaming arms to the lights of the town, and in the ears of nxious men at the depot SHOUTED THE STORY of disaster and the ery for help. Two men went down iu that fatal chasm, and two widows and two fami- lies of infant children call for the lost who never shall return; but two other men and two other families, to their dying days, have cause to thank the good Lord that he made one woman with the brave heart of Kate Shelly. The cold, business-like official report will never tell it as it is, only when—*‘the accident was report- ed by the young girl and relief was promptly “dispatched.” And when the fatal trap in which poor Olmstead and Pat Donahue found their watery gaves, is again filled up and traflic once more 18 busy over the llpol, the great company will forget the deed, oronly rememberit asan accident which brought no suit for personal damages against the company, e THE STAR ROUTE. Revolutionizing the Postal System. Washington Spectal to the Globe-Democrat. Postmaster General James, in his determined efforts to reform abuses in the postal service, has not confined his attention to the vigorous suppres- sion of extravagances in the notorious star route, That has been the main objective pflint for the time, because a reform in that direction was the most crying necessity when he came into office, A great ring had fastened itself and was lnuoniufl. upon the postal department of the govern- ment. Its ramifications were coex- tensive with the country, and in the chair of the second assistant postmas- ter. Several millions of dollars were being swallowed up, and the whole m of contracts was threat- ened with the rottenness which came of the contact with unbridled corrup- tion. The first duty of Mr. Jamos of the people, and one who is opposed to the great moneyed. power o? the country, nevertheless, almost without a single exception, every Grant man, every U, P. man, every dead head who travels on a pass, is a Conkling man in this county. An eminent writer has said that to the civil and political his- torian the past alone has an existence; that the present he rarely apprehends, and the future never, but by the historian of science things which are to come to pass during the lifetime of generations of men yet unborn can be ascertained with as much certainty as things which have passed and gone, I don’t believe any such thing, I believe that just so sure as the historian of science can, after watching the glitter- ing course of the eratic comet in the heavens, follow it into the infinite depths of space far beyond the limits of our system, until the eternal law of gravitation commends it to re- turn, predict the return of the glittering object to the place whore it last was seen though ages may pass before that event takes place; just so sure can the fmlitical historian after reading by the ight of past events the causes which brought about the fate of other repub- lics, predict ,that the days of the great American, are numbered, and that in the near future, it will only be a phanton shadow of what it once was. Gray Will says 1t is absurd to talk about there be any danger of the foundation of the government being undermined, that it was built upon the adamantine rock of justice and equality to all. The same was said during the agitation about slavery, and that there would be no war, but there was a right smart war after all which shook the mighty fabric which had been built at so much cost of blood and treasure until it almost fell. A BooNE CouNtY FARMER, OLD JIM IS DEAD, The Famous Old Hunterand Guide on the Western Plains Passes Away. Jim Bridger is aname familiar to old western settlers, and the an- nouncement of his death will be re- ceived with feelings of sadness by all who knew him. In early days he was a noted scout, hunter and guide on these western prairies, and his name figured in more than one ven- turesome and daring deed so common to the plainsman in~ those days. Of his death the Kansas City Mail has the following: _James Bridger, one of the last sur- vivors of the early mountaineers whose headquarters were in this part of the country, died at his residence near New Santa Fe in this county at b o'clock yesterday afternoon, Ir, Bridger had passed his seventy-sixth birthday anniversary, that event tak- ing place in last March, His funeral took place to-day. The remains were interred in a littlo county cemetery not far from the place in which he died, Mr, Bridger wasa Virginian by birth, He hu‘lbeun a scout, guide and plainsman for about t irty yoars. About sixteen years ago while riding a “bucking” mule he re- ceived injurics that permanently disabled him, Bince that time he has retired from active life and has been living on his, or rather children's, farm near Santa Fe. For three years or more he has been in his dotage. He once got lost within one-halt mile of his own house, Old age and con- was to ple with the great evil, and he did at once and fearlessty, but he evidently does not propose to [t th-:h The whole postoflice sys- inion, uires over- oo iy Mg ke S has taken in Perhaps H i finement to one place caused the vet- eran plainsman’s vital forces to give way with sure and rapid decline. To use a common expression he died of old age. His death was painless, 1881 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: FRIDAY JULY 22, the flame of life burned down to the socket and noiselessly expired. He leaves a family of three chil- dren, all grown. One of the daugh- ters is the wife of Mr. A. Wachsman, of Westport. Mr. Bridger had, at the time of his death, a claim before congress for money due him on ac- count of the occupation of his fort by United States soldiers. Bridger sold his fort and grounds in good faith. For this he received no ‘‘cash down, The war came on, attention was ab- sotbed by it, and congress did not givo a thought to making provision for the payment of the poorold guide’s claim, The Bridger family will throw off all interest if an appropriation of £10,000 for the payment of the prin- cipal is made, If it had net been for “Old Jim,"” as he was called, General Fremont's great western exploring ex- pedition would not have been a suc- coss. For a great portion of the way Bridger actedasa guide.
