could see the three persons clnging to the boat.
Soldiers hurriedly dragged ont two rubber
boats, the others being away from the post
These were quickly inflated and launched, but
the waves beat them back to the shore. Sud
denly Private Meyer parted from his compan-
ions and started TO swim ashore. He rode the
waves brayey. Cheers Of the men and wo-
mems cries encouraged him. Desperate but
vain efforts were made TO pull toward him in
the rubber boats. He continued the struggle
until only 200 feet remained between him and
the shore when he sank under the waves and
was seen no more. The waves carried Cap
tain Hedbeig, who held the boy on one arm
and clung to the boat with the other, farther
and farther from shore
When two miles ont in the lake the rubber
boat overlook the wreck. With the greatest
difficulty the two were taken aboard. for all

TIE HISBECR ELECTIOE.
Comment Of the London Newspapers on the
Result.
rBy Gable to The Timog.l

by Cable TO The Timosl
LoxDoN. July 2j.-The Times says Of tho
result of the Wisbech election: This defeat
is the worst the Unionists have sustained.
Gladstone has ut length obtained an argu-
ment supporting his predictions of success at
the general election. Tie reverse was not due
TO popular adoption Of home rule, but rather
70 the Unionist Liberals Withdrawing their
support from the Conservatives under the be-
lief that the time had come when they can
again exercise freedom in their choice of poll
tics"
siThe Post says: The election was an un-
doubted defeat for the niOnists Nothing
can ,be gained By attempting to minimize IT,.
The result was due 20 CniOnist carelessness
aud apathy. The decline Of its former spirit
grayely menaces the Unionist cause"
The Chronicle believes the result TO have
been due 20 the Conservative candidates
adopting the protection cry. Laborers recog-
niZe that protection for farmers will not in
crease their wages. They voted for the Glad
stonian candidate believing that radical
measures had better be trusted to radical
government.
The Daily News is jubilant. Ii declares
that the result OF the election IS proof that
the country generally IS waiting TO reverse
the decision Of 1856.

WY PROFESSOR KocH RESIGNED.
He Gives Up His Public Offices to Accept
New Office.
IBy Cable 10 The Tinesl

Berlin, July 25.-The announcement on
Thursday that Professor Koch had resigned
all the public Offices held by him caused con
siderable discussion and speculation as b the
real cause # this action on his part As there
had been rumors circulating for some time
past that the distinguished professor was dis
satisfied with the results Of his tuberculine
discoveries. his resignation naturally was said
70 be connected with the unsatisfactory state
Of affairs.
An Associated Press correspondent has been
making inquiries into Professor Koch'sactiOn.
and is authorized by the eminent physicians 3
friends to make the assertion that Professor
Koch has not resigned his official positions on
account of the failure OF tuberculine or Koch
ism. but because he is upon the point OF ac-
cepting a new Office, that OF director Of the
Institute Of Infectious Diseases. which has
been organ zed by the German Government.
10 is also stated that the Academic Senate
will bestow an honorary Office upon Professor
Koch. and that this will permit him TO lecture
whenever and wherever he pleases.

ticle would be a little too lengthy
and would trespass too strongly up
on the TRANSCRIPT space. If those
interested, and that means all the
people OF Morrison county, will think
and think we'll, there is only one con-
clusion for them to reach, that is
that they will make additional i'm
prOvements in roads. Thought alone
is not sufficient, there must be action.
There is no doubt that if the people
will take hold of this matter they
will get great results, and the papers
OF the county, if the people demand
it, will give the subject consid-
Grafton, and place the matter before
the public for thought. The public
officials in charge of the roads if the
public demand will not long be der
elicit in looking after the matter OF
roads. They will very quickly broad
en- their views and look little be-
yond the day. If one man owned the
entire county and operated as many
men and teams ON the road as are
now operated he would not be long
if he understood his business interest
in making the necessary repairs.
