sympathetic English brother. Whether or
not we are to have another "AroostooS

Of the several states in November next.
But be it as it may the country has had
the most extensively advertised "ten

A ToUGH CITnEN.-An outgoing train
from Chicago on the st. Paul road struck
a man at a street crossing Friday night,
and before the train could be stopped
dragged him about 100 feet. He was
found wedged under the engine in such a
way that the locomotive had to be raised
with jackscrews in order to extricate him.
He was taken out in an unconscious con-
dition and removed to the hospital. While
physicians were working over him he re-
gained consciousness, and after making a
hasty examination of himself and finding
that he was uninjuIed, he bade the attend
ants good night and left for home He
gave his name as Paul Lohlei.
