an ALMOST Fatal ACCIDkNr,

Charles McCarty and sister Thrown Un-
der Road Wagou-The Young Lady
Badly Injured, and Both Narrowly
Escape Instant Death-The City Liable
for the Damages.
At about o'clock Friday evening Charles
McCarty, with his sister, Miss Clara, were
driving toward their home at Sugar Grove
Hill. They overlook a number of teams haul
ing straw. When a short distance beyond
the West Main street car stables, Mr.. Nc
Carly, being in a hurry to get home, at
tempted to pass the straw teams, and when
almost past the rear wagon his buggy ran
into large pile OF dirt that had been thrown
out from some curbing improvement, and was
overturned.
Both persons were thrown Immediately
under the heavify-laden wagon; the horse
became entangled in the harness, and the
buggy was literally smashed to pieces.
Miss Clara fell under the wheel, which
passed over the right lower limb, fearfully
crushing it in two places, breaking both bones
between the knee and ankle. Mr.. McCarty
fell with his head directly under the wheel
which grazed his neck, and but for his pres
ence of mind in dragging himself away the
wheel would have passed over his neck, sew
ering his head from his body; as it was, how
ever, he was somewhat bruised about the
back of the head and hips, also injured in
wardly. His injuries, however, were forgot
ten under the excitement, and he succeeded
in caring for his sister, whose screams were
frightful, and carried her to a house near BY,
there DR.. Russell was summoned and cared
for her injuries. The teamster who mus.
have heard the screams of the lady and knew
of the accident, did not stop to render any
but drove on as if nothing had
happened.
The pile of dirt which overthrew the buggy
is Immediately on the side of the road, and
several feet high. The work was being done
by the city, and no signal lantern was placed
on the side to warn people of danger, and as
the snow had fallen consi ierably, covering
the pile, it was unnoticed by Mr. McCarty,
With the above very serious results. After
the excitement is all over Mr.. McCarty feels
his injuries considerably this morning, while
Miss Clara is doing as well as could be ex-
oected. The culpability of the city authori-
les in this matter will doubtlessly be tested
ls it should be. While Mr. McCsrty was in
he house attending his sister, his horse was
eft struggling in the wreck of the buggy.
And gentleman whose name could not be |
earned, in attempting to drive past, his horse
became frightened and ran away, demollsh-
ng the buggy and a sewing machine, but the |
nan escaped unhurt.

''One night last summer, after mid
night, when all the family were asleep,
Taffy ran from the door of one bed
room to another crying and mewing
violently; evidently something was the
matter. My mother opened her door.
and opened mine. to wonder what
was wrong. As soon as the cat saw US
she ran few steps forward and then
back. as if urging us to follow her. She
guided us first down the stairs and then
through the kitchen to the door at the
head of the stairs leading to the cellar.
Upon our opening it we discovered to
our great surprise that the outside cellar
door, at the foot of the steps. had been
carelessly left wide open by the SER
wants, thus allowing free ingress if any
evil disposed person chose to avail HIM
self of it. l closed the door and locked
it, whereupon Taffy quietly returned to
her bed and slept peacefully the rest
of the night. Christian Union.

Lay Of the Lobbyist.

The Washington Star prints the fol-
lowing lament of a lobbyist: MAYBE
the last part of the session will pan out
something that II give man chance
to turn an honest penny helping some
body or other through congress, but the
outlook is not calculated to keep a man
here if he's got something to do some
where else. 1t don't look to me,
though, as if there's going to be any
big business in the lobby hereafter. To
tell the truth, people are getting afraid
of any man that's called lobbyist.
The newspapers have said SO much
about the business that people are down
on it, and q member of congress is act
ually afraid to talk to any man who's
been spotted as belonging to the lobby,
and, to be honest about it, some of 'em
amt no better than confidence men af-
ter all. They lay around the capitol
watching for anything and everything
that has money in it.
.'Soon as they discover somebody
who has bill or claim, they go for him
and tell him if he don t let 'em in they'll
jump on him. It's divvy or fight with
them. No honest lobbyist has any use
for that crowd. They hurt the business
and make people scared at the name Of
lobby. There's many a queer racket
worked about these capitol corridors, l
can tell you, and if the reporters could
just get onto some of 'em they'd have
something worth writing about. One
man got $40, 200 out of a certain crowd
when the tariff bill was hanging in con-
ference Just by cheek and smart work.
The crowd l speak of had certain in
terest to take care of, and they were
afraid it was going to be hurt. That
man found out how the committee
stood, and then made a bargain to pro-
tect that interest. He never went near
that committee; never spoke word to
any of the members, but when the re-
port was made and the thing was all
right, he got his $4,000.
THE votes of members have been
sold and sold over again, without the
members themselves ever knowing any
thing about it,
''How is it done?"
"Well, the racket is about this: You
want to secure the vote of a certain
member. l know him, and pretend
that can control him. l let you see
me speak to him, and talk with him.
You begin to believe can work him. 1
just wait till the bill comes up. Then,
if my man votes for it, claim to have
made him do it. If he don't, tell you
he fooled me, and that's all there is oft
'.But there isn't as much Of this now
as there used to be. The lawyers have
almost spoiled the trade of the profess
sional lobbyist. They take q fee, az
they call it, and that's respectable.
These lawyers are always on The watch
for fees of that kind, and when they
drop on game of fellows to specu-
late on a members vote, they go and
blow on him. I'm either goin' to study
law and get admitted or quit the busi-
ness"

the white hair OF the Regent 1t is an ideal
costume, rich and majestic, and its wesrer,
Miss Fannie Sprague, looks every inch
queen.
Three dresses of beautiful design and color
are also worn BY Miss Van Doren, who i'm
personates Louise D'Orange.
The dresses of the gentlemen are fully as
brilliant. The style of dress worn by the
men Of those days-that is, the latter
portion Of the fifteenth and early part
OF the sixteenth centuries-wss composed
OF q garment fitting the form quite closely
tvery much, for instance, as a well-6tting
frock coat would), and reaching just below
the hips. The sleeves were generally pulled
with the same material as the body, or of .
different color or material, as the wearer de-
sired. This garment was called the hauberk,
and was one of the most graceful dresses that
ever adorned well-shaped man. Short
trunks were worn seneath this dress, and
long silken hose, now called tights When
riding or walking, long boot was worn,
reaching above the knee A cloak was worn
at discretion, and sword always; and no
hat was complete without being mounted by
the plume of the ostrich.
Mir. Redmund uses four of these costumes
in the role of Casimir de Langlet; the first of
crimson velvet, and gold satin and lace. a
long cloak of . darker shade and hose
OF pale lavender TINT The second is the
characteristic of the Bowman (which
disguise he has taken); the hau-
berk being rIsset leather, fastened by
velvet straps and silver buckles; the sleeves
are puffed and of rich brown velvet; drab
hose, long russell boots and gauntlets and a
hat OF russell and brown complete the attire.
The third is picturesque, dashing, and in
excellent taste; the body, trunks, and cloak
being OF rich, deep-green velvet, puffsd and
trimmed with old gold satin and fine gold
lace, the hose very dark, the boots and
gauntlets maroon shade; and the hat, of
green and old gold, is surmounted by white
ostrich plume
The costumes OF all the male characters
are OF the same rich quality and equally sr-
tistic in color. In none Of the MANY pictures
that are formed during the play are there any
discOrdant combinations of color or savage
contrasts to annoy the eye. In fact they are
a remarkable collection of costumes, and,
once seen, will not soon be forgotten.

TWO CHICAGO MOTHERS.


This is somewhat the way they are doing
civilization in Chicago. An officer of the
Humane Society the other day found a
sickly little white babe lying in crib,
amid dense smoke of the fatal drug, at
an opium joint kept by Kong Wa Long.
Mr.. X. W. Long said he had bought it of
Mrs. Rosa Reitmeier, a midwife on con-
tract that he had had with her to find him
one. She had agreed to furnish him with
the article as soon as she found one and
in few days she had brought him this,
and he had paid her Sl2 for it The
Humane Society will investigate and ar
rest. Consider the mother of that babe
And consider this one On the morning
after the above discovery, at o'clock,
with the thermometer l40 below zero, a
policeman on his beat found a woman
wandering about in hysterical condition.

poorly clad form was held close to her
breast, and she was barefooted. When
the policeman stopped her he looked into
her apron, and, to his surprise, he saw a
newly born infant. 1t was naked, and all
the covering there was to protect it from
the biting wind was the calico apyon. The
woman and babe were taken to Tie hos
pital in patrol wagon, and both were in
a comfortable condition at latest advices,
Notwithstanding their terrible experience.
The woman gave her name as Annie Han
son, and says the child was born Just be-
fore the policeman found her, but refuses
to disclose its paternity.
Contrast the two mothers, and picture
the grain-pit, and the roaring stock-mar-
ket, and the cattle-pens, and the other glo-
ries of Chicago's high civilization. "Pict-
ure it, think of it.

Springfield has a weather-prophet who
has kept diary of the weather since 1928.
He has long ago arrived at the conclusion
that the moon controls the weather as ab-
solutely as she controls the tides. He has
implicit faith in the moon in this respect,
and studies her phases with great conf
dence. He says, however, that, from his
observations of over fifty years, he is not
yet satisfied that the moon moves round
the earth. He therefore does not base his
weather-prophecies on her motions, but on
her phases and positions. He claims that
he can foretell the weather of FORTY wears
hence Just as easily as he can that of next
spring; and We have no doubt of it.

CuriOsitfes OF Literature.

Among other curiOsities of geological
literature mentioned by Aristotle, which
seem to receive his support, and which
may be set down as the current folk
lore of his time, we may enumerate the
following: If anyone make a noise as
grasshoppers fly along they emit a kind
OF moisture, as agriculturists say; they
feed on dew, and if person advances
to them bending his finger and then
Strengthening it, they will remain more
quiet than if the finger is put straight at
once, and will climb up the finger, for
from bad sight they ascend it as if il
were moving leaf" persons who
have parasites in the head are less sub
ject to headache. Moths are produced
in the greatest abundance if spider is
shut up with them in the wool, for this
creature, being thirsty, dries up any
moisture which may be present. Small
birds during the day fly around the owl
which is called admiring it-and as
they fly around it they pluck out its
feathers. The anthus (some bright
colored bird) is an enemy to the horse,
for 1t drives the horse from its pasture
and eats the grass; it initiates the voice
of the horse and frightens il bv flying
at it, but when the horse catches it he
kills it." If anyone takes hold of q
she-goat by the long hairs of the beard,
all the Others stand still as if bewildered
and gaze at her. The hawk, though
carnivOrous, does not eat the hearts Of
the birds it has killed. THE jay has
many varieties of voice; it utters diff
feren. one, SO to speak, every day."
''The goat-sucker flies against the she
goats and sucks them, whence its name.
They say that after the udder has been
sucked it becomes dry and goes blind"
'Mares become less ardent and moro
gentle if their names are cut. ."-Edsn-

A Nomination for Mayor.

To the Editor Of the Globe Republic:
Permit me to say few words to the voters
OF Springfield in regard to our choice OF
candidate for Mayor at the coming spring
election. In city that can give 1000 or
l,2oo Republican majority, there should be
no doubt about the election of a Republican
Mayor. But what has been our experience 2
we have had a Democratic administration
with Its police commission, its suspension of
the ten O'Clock ordinance, its free-tor-sll
gambling and disreputable houses, and other
Ills too numerous to mention.
How did all this hsppen2 1t is very easy
to account for it; and think now is the time
to speak some very plain words in regard to
the result two years ago. The use of money
IN obtaining nominations is the cause of all
our trouble. Why should we submit to this
disgraceful state of affairs? Let it
be set down as an almost in
fallible rule that he who buys an office will
use 1t for his own personal gain and advance
ment, and place the public good as a second
ary matter. We have had enough of that
kind. We want Mayor who will conde-
scend to serve the people without thought of
self, and who will have the moral courage to
execute the laws.
The name of hr. Amos Wolfe has been
mentioned and talked of for the nomination,
and very favorably received. Mr.. Wolfe has
the legal ability and the moral courage to
make good Mayor; and, as he has always
been opposed to buying a nomination,
think he will make all the more conscien-
nous officer on that account | do not saw
that all OF the others named heretofore for
the place will use money; but do say that,
If the office Is not made salaried one, there
will be those after the nomination who can
not expect to get it by any other way than by
open purchase.
The only way to do is for the people to re-
fuse to support any man who resorts to this
corrupt and aoominable method If We want
the past two years repeated, let the better class
of citizens stay away from the polls and it
will be done.
This is case, and now is the time for the law
and-order society to use their influence in OBJ
tanning the nomination OF a good man.

The Legislature adjourned Friday, i'm
mediately after the reading of the journal,
until Tuesday. Judge Littler came home FRI
day p. m. He says there is no doubt of the
passage Of the bill abolishing the Office of city
marshal OF Springfield, and that the bill
making the Mayors q salsried office, has q
fair prospect Of becoming q law, although
owing to conflicting interests and some mis-
taken opposition from certain quarters, it will
require hard work and careful handling to
bring about that result. He proposes to stay
right by both bills and secure their passage if
at all possible. The marshal bill will 20 to

The water main on Champion avenue
passes under a culvert at one place, and is
necessarily somewhat exposed. 1t froze up
this week, as test of the hydrants showed,
but the tire department succeeded in thawing
it out thursday night. For one night much
valuable property beyond, but not including
East street shops, was in danger, as the water
supply was cut of. 1t requires constant
watchfulness and no small amount of extra
labor on the part Of the fremen to keep the
system for fire protection in order for instant
use all over the city. Very often when other
people are snug in their downy beds the boys
are out and around on this duty.
