THE following excellent advice is
from the Mandm Pioneer:
Now that we are coming into state
hood, it is not enough for a man to
hold up his hand and say that he is u
republican. We must Judge men by
their works. A man who always bolts
IL ticket that is not made up us he
wants it-who is Il candidate every
time. and invariably gets beaten and
votes and works the other way-is no
republican. Now that we have come
into statehood, this is no time for fool.
ing. 1'olting tickets may be eNcllsa-
bic under some circumstances, but
when Il convention is held at which
there is 10 contestant which the
votes nearly all so II way--at which
there is no evidence or charge of high
handed proceedings-at such time it
is the duty of every party man to
stand by the work of the convention.
y nan that does not do that, whether
he is with us or against us, >huld bc
ruled out of the party. This go.as-you.
please business is played out, now VIC
are a state.
The above is true republican doc,
trine and the few mugwumps in this
county who claim to be republicans
should either get into the party or &C
with the democrats. Their call for {;
mugwump legislative convention will
do them no good. AS the Pioneer
says, this go-as-you-please businessi is
played out Republicans will vote
straight this year.

WARNER CALLED.

Accept tie Pension Commissionership.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. 1a.-Maj.
William Warner is reported to have left
Kansas City for Washington in response
to a telegram from the president or sec.
rotary of the interior asking him if he
would accept the position of commits
sioner of pensions to succeed Commits
sicner Tanner, in the event the latter
should be removed. Maj. Warner was
a member of the house of representatives
for two terms and afterwards ne was
commander-in-chief of the Grand Army
of the Republic. He is very popular
among the veterans and ever since the
talk of Tanners removal began he has
been mentioned as among the possibili-
ties for the succession. 1t is known he
received an official telegram calling him
to Washington and as he cannot be
found it is probable that he is on his
way there.

above the falls. He then stripped and
had his body padded with cotton batting
and then put on his rubber suit, which
was inflated tifty-two inches around the
waist and seventy-five inches around the
chest. The head gear was also inflated,
while two steel bands protectedh his body.

foam. lie was buried from view for
nearly two minutes. when q black speck
covered with a thick white coating was
seen bobbing and jumping to and fro in
the boiling cauldron of rushing, gurg-
ling waters. In a short time Brodie was
caught in the rushing waters and car
ried at q brisk pace toward the Alneri-
can shore, and then all of a sudden he
was hurled toward the Canadian shore,
where John Ledger and the United Press
correspondent had ropes ready to drag
him from tie water. Ledger was
stripped and swan out 200 feet with a
rope fastened to his waist, while the
other was held on shore. Ledger
after several attempts reached Brodie,
fastened the rope to the iron bands about
his waist aud then swan ashore.
On Brody being lifted on the rocky
shore, he was quickly stripped. Brandy
was poured IN small quantities on his
temples, while he was rubbed and
chafed. but he was insensible and blood
oozed from his mouth, nose and ears,
probably from shock or conclusion. For
twenty minutes Brodie lay until ammo
mia was applied to his nostrils and he
began to SILVER ard gesticulate with his
hands. Brodie's injuries are confined to
many bruises and a sprained back.

LONDON, Sept. 10.-The sculling race
between Searle, of Australia, and O'Con
nor, of Canada, was rowed over the
championship course on the Thames,
and won by Searle.
The wind blew in occasional squalls
and off Survey the water was slightly
pumpy, but otherwise the conditions
were excellent. The weather was per-
fectly clear. The betting was even,
starting at 20 to u On Searle which was
rapidly taken, and finally turning to S to

mutual consent at 1893 p. M. Both men
kept to the course remarkably we'll.
The attendance at the riverside was
very large for a professional race. The
race has excited more interest in sport
ing circles than any event for years.
The amount of money wagered was
enormous. Heavy purses were cabled
from Canada and Australia to he staked

placed fl0,0N on Searle. Both men
were in splendid form. Searle weighed
l63 and O'Connor 162, and their pre-,

that they were evenly matched in all

ROCKED TO SLEEP AND DEATH.
A Tale of Horror Regarding the Death Of
u Brain0rI Child.

A Tale of Horror Regarding the Death of
II Brainerd Child.
BRAlNERD, Sept. lO.-A tale of horror
comes from Long Lake, a few miles
from here, concerning the death of a
young child in the family of a Swedish
farmer named Olsen. The parents had
gone away and were at work in the
fields leaving two young children shut
up in the house. In some inexplicable
manner the youngest one had its foot
caught in Il crack between two sprung
boards, the elder one-7 years old
pulled and tugged. trying Intellectually
to release his shrieking sister. When
finally wrought up to great excitement
he procured an AK and with many
blows chopped the imprisoned foot off
at the ankle. Then taking the little
sufferer in his arms tried to soothe its
misery by singing to it:
"Rock-a-bye. rock-a-bye, baby, to Sleep
When the parents returned he still
held it in his arms, as he said, asleep:
but it had bled to death frem the
arteries in the mutilated stump of the
leg, to which the foot was dangling by a
strip of skin and flesh.
