SHE WAS ALL RIGHT.
The Remarked a Women for Whom
Mahoney RIsked His Life.

BIDDEFoRD, August 14.-John w. Ma
honey, the druggist, performed heroic act
at Old Orchard yesterday afternoon. Ma
honey was standing with many ethers ON the
platform and saw an old and lame lady at
tempting to cross the track just as a train
was coming into the depot. Warning shouts
were given. but they only seemed to confuse
the old lady. who stood still between the
rails while the train rushed toward her.
Those on the platform expected to see her
run down by the engine, and as the train
drew nearer many turned their heads to es-
cape the spectacle which they felt must be
seen.
The engineer and fireman shouted, but
still the dazed old lady stood motionless, and
the locomotive was within 10 yards of her
when Mr.. Mahoney sprang in front of it,
seized the woman, and lifting her from the
ground jumped to the other side of the track
as the engine rushed by, shutting off the
view SO that those on the platform could not
tell what had been the fate of the two.
There were cries that both had been killed
but as the train passed the rescued and res
cuer were seen standing safely beyond the
track.
The old lady still did not seem to realize
how close a call she had had, and her only
acknowledgement to her rescuer was Il
guess would have been all right"

WHERE RUIN FOLLOWS STORM
More Western Towns Left In a
Badly piIapidated Condition.

LAKE BENTON. Mimi, August IA ter
rifle storm struck here yesterday afternoon
and for few minutes the air was thick
with large hail stones. Nearly every pane
of glass .on the north and west sides of
buildings was broken. In the country every
thing in the shape of uncut grain in the
path OF the storm was destroyed. 1t is not
thought that the storm covered very wide
area, as it reached but few miles either east
or west but it is not known how far south
it extended.
ST. CLOUD, MINI, August IA des-
tructive rain and hail storm swept over this
section of the State yesterday afternoon.
Considerable damage is reported in the
counties of Sherburne and Benton. Along
the lines of the Great Northern great dam
age by hail was done between Big Lake and
Becker and In the vicinity of Nelson, on the
Fergus Falls division. Immediately east of
st. Cloud the rain fell in torrents, and the
wind, which blew perfect hurricane, beat
the grain to the earth and scattered wheat
stacks in a hopeless tangle.

A Vision of paath.

BEVERLY, Mass, August 14.-Last even
ing, heavily loaded horse car on the Naum-
keau Street Railway reached Kittredge's
crossing at North Beverly, as freight train
was passing on the Boston & Maine railroad.
After the freight had passed the car started
to cross the tracks, when passenger train,
freight, came along at the rate of so miles
an hour on the down grade. The driver had
the presence Of mind to draw the pin and
turn the horses to one side as the express
dashed by, leaving the car with its load OF
human freight within two feet of the train.
There was panic, the occupants trampling
over each other In their endeavors to escape
what seemed certain death. The women
tainted, and while nobody was injured the
nervous shock was quite serious TO many
who had to be helped to their homes.

NOT sURJEcTTo Duty.
Cars Engaged in Regular Traffic
over the Canadian Border.

WASHINGTON, August lathe Treasury
Department was recently requested to make
ruling on the following question: "If a
United States company builds cars in the
United States and leases them to Cana
dian railroad to be operated in the business
in both countries, in which each company
realizes portion cfithe earnings, should duty
be charged on said cars?"
Acting Secretary Nettleton's answer is as
follows: without consideration of the
question of whether the interests of Ameri-
can and Canadian stockholders are identical
in this case, which is not pertinent to the in
quiry, paragraph 493 of the act of October 1,
1890, exempts from duty articles of growth,
product or manufacture of the United
States when returned, after having been ex-
ported without having been advanced in val
ue or improved in condition by any process
of manufacture or means, but proof of the
identity of such articles shall be made under
the general regulations, etc. etc. In case
your inquiry relates to the importation at
some future time of the said cars, such pro-
vision Of law would seem to apply. If your
inquiry relates to the daily or weekly pass
ing of such cars across the Canadian from
tier, the case would be governed by the prin-
ciple enumerated in section 9549. That sec
tion is to the effect that cars engaged in
regular traffic between Canada and the
United States cannot be considered as i'm

and considering the deep interest our
people have in the subject irrigation,
there can be no more appropriate place
for holding the great interstate cOnvon-
ton than here in Kansas. Our splendid
system of transportation will readily
accommodate Nebraska, Colorado and
Texas. 1.-THE legislature will ask Gov
arnor Humphrey to call such cOnven-
ton to be held early in the summer, il
will no doubt find a hearty response
from adjoining states. There are many
important questions entering into the
development OF the the subject before
the people, and preparing for such ma
tional interstate legislation as wiz be
necessary to protect the rights of the
people along the borders Of the various
states. Irrigation will be the salvation
IF western Kansas. and the time to act
is now, not the next year or the year
after. The great plains, rich in deep
and fertile soil. have in them great pos
,ibilities, if the water that flows under
them and that falls on top of them can
be utilized and made to grow abundant

his important NATTER Capital.
