Rescued from the Well.

John Anderson was released from his ten
days. Imprisonment in the we'll at Johns
town, Neb., on Saturday. Over one hun.
dred feet of lumber were used in the con.
struction of the framework by means ot
which he was rescued. He was perfectly
cheerful throughout, in spite of his terrible
situation, and directed the work of the other
men. 1t was hoped that he would be res.
cued Friday, but when the sun went down
it was found impossible to get light to him
so that he could see to work. 1t was accord
ingly decided to wait for daylight. His
supper was sent down 10 him, together with
blanket to sleep on, and words of mutual
encouragement were exchanged. Ander-
son and the brave men who were working
to save him parted for the night. At day.
light the work was resumed with renewed
courage and determination. A box, Is
inches long and 10 by II inches square, open
at both ends and thoroughly soaped inside,
was lowered to the boards that were pro.
tecting him. In this covering q hole was
cut and the box was sliprsd through. at
ten o'clock Anderson, after pulling OIL his
clothes, tied a rope under his arms and,
holding his hands straight above his head,
was pulled through The box and finally re-
leased from his prison. Before raising him
TO the open air his clothes were put on and
stimulants were administered. After reach
ing the top of the ground he shook hands with
his rescuers and tried to thank them, but
could only cay, "God bless you, boys" when
his voice was choked. There was two hun

A MEAN BOARDING MIsTREss.-Mrs.
Anna Gibson, the young bride of printer,
with her husband, boarding at the residence
of Mrs. Carr, of Philadelphia when dressing

about for something to answer its purpose
decided to improvise one out of a couple Of

lady entered Mrs. Gibson's room and missed
her sheets. As the young couple were
strangers to her, she notified the officer on
the beat of the theft" and requested him to
arrest Mrs. Gibson on sight. Along in the
day he met her at Vine and Nineteenth
streets and asked her to accompany him to
the police station. Mrs. Gibson was dumb
founded, but went. At tho station she was
made acquainted with the charge against
her, and then she laughed and 'acknowledg-
ed the corn" The sergeant saw that there
had been no intentional wrong done by Mrs.
Gibson, but Mrs. Carr refusing to withdraw
the charge he consigned the very much

home he was informed in no gentle terms
of his wife's conduct and of her whereabouts.
He at once ran to the rescue of his wife,
and, much to his surprise, he was collared,
and also put into cell, because Mrs. Carr
filed complaint against him, charging him
with conspiring with his wife to rob her
house. The young couple had to remain all
night in their cells and it was morning be-
fore the police could prevail on Mrs. Carr to
| withdraw her charges, for they were plain
ly an outrage upon innocent people. After
their release it is superfuous to state that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson went to better board

much indebted for its remarkable growth in circu.

Of the other Chicago dailies to the blanket
sheet" style Of journalism. Of all the people in
America the average C~hicagoan is most in a hurry
and least inclined to wade through columns of

Chicago daily that has the facilities for giving all
the news, and at the same time the good sense to
present it in concise form. The result of such a
condition Of affairs is that The DAILY News prints
more papers than all the other Chicago dailies
combined.
"In considering all the causes which have
entered into and produced so phenomenal a jour-
nalistic growth the most important one unques-
tionably has been the controlling conviction Of its
managers that the cheap paper should be cheap
only in price; that its news should be as fresh and
complete, its editorial discussion as able, and its
general tone and character as puresnd heathful
as its best and highest priced contemporary. All
this the cheap paper" may easily be even at its

THE newspaper entitled to the distinction of
having the largest daily circulation in America is
The CHICAGO DAILY News. (Since this state
ment was made it is possible that the growth of
the Nc10 York W0rH entities it to first place.
Tie Graphic to-day devotes a page to sketches Of
scenes in and about its establishment. The his
tory OF this paper is probably without a parallel
in the annals of American Journalism. 1t was
founded December Goth, 1875, and was the first
low-priced daily successfully established in the
West. AT the end of its first year it had achieved
a circulation of about 10000. From that time on
its growth has been remarkable. 1t now prints
seven editions daily, comprising both morning
and evening issues. Its statement Of circulation
for the year 1884 shows a daily average of 1878
copies, unquestionably the largest daily circulation
on the American continent. (The sworn state
ment for 1887 shows a daily average of I65,376)
"In politics THE DAILY News is always indie
pendent, never neutral. While its editorial cx-
preston is sometimes vigorous to the degree of
severity, there is always in its utterances of opinion
so manifest a purpose to be impartial and fair to
all opposing interests, that it rarely loses the con-
fdence of the reader, however much it may fail to
bring him to an acceptance Of its own view con-
corning the matter in hand.

has earned a reputation for cnterprising news
gathering second to none in the United States.

| had hen, which called her Kate,
She had nest by the garden gate,
She laid all winter, till late in the spring,
Then changed her mind, the blamed old
thing,
And determined to sit against my will.
So nailed her up in box uEtll
I thought she'd surely forgotten the nest.
But what do you thinkf The tarnol old
pest
Made march, as a Decline straight,
For the same old nest by the garden gate.
Another long siege of prisonhouse fare,
One, two, three, weeks of darkened air,
Another release, and again sedate
She marched to the nest by the garden
gate.
Then held her under the pump,
Till she lay a dripping, lifeless lump,
And threw her over the richard wall,
And said: ashes layin' for good and all"
Next morn rose, and strange to relate,
Kute was on her nest by the garden gate.
And she sat, and sat, and is settin' still,
Though must confess against my will;
For it must be the ghost of persistent
Kate,
On that lonely nest by the garden gate.
