An American Who Was Going Around the
World on Foot.
In these days, when there is such a
search for novelty, 1t will not be long
before some one will go around the
world on foot. OF course, the entire
journey on foot would not be practical
BILE, but the carriage could be reduced
TO few hundred miles by crossing
America on latitude Go.
More than a century ago a corporal
in the English marine corps, an Ameri.
can by birth, named Lcdiard, undertook
this tremendous task lie left London
in the winter OF 1Tss, with s3j) In his
pocket, and his plan was TO traverse
Europe and Asia on foot, and then
be ferried across Bering straits TO the
American shore, whence he would con-
tinue his journey TO the Atlantic ocean,
somewhere between New York and
Labrador.
He walked to 81. Petersburg by way
Of Hamburg aud Copenhagen, going
around the Gulf OF Bothnia 10 the north.
Then he continued TO Siberia, and went
as far as Yakutsk, intending 20 press
on toward Behring'S straits in the
spring Of 1883. But in January Of that
year he was arrested by order Of EN-
press Catherine, taken back 10 St.
Petersburg, and aftcrward put across
the Polish frontier, with orders not 10
enter Russia again without the impe.
rial permission. Thus was his enter.

you to be more discriminating in your
charities Because want your hearts
open with generosity and your hands

to be made the sworn friends Of all

wonder If that hat that you give should
come back a jeweled coronet, or II that
garment that you hand out from your

whitened, and somehow wrought into
the Saviour's own robe, SO in the last
day he would run his hand over it and
say: 81 was naked and ye clothed Me-"
That would be putting your garments
to glorious uses.

into tears at the review Of Gods good
ness to you, and that you would

People talk about religion as being a
restraint, remarked a popular pastor,
gossiping In a circle of intimates: and II
Is so in one sense, but it is very small
sense. There are in man certain
destructive ndencics--passions which
make him their sport. appetitcs which
coerce his better Judgment, and religion
puts curb on these and reins them in.
But II has larger and better uses than
this. Fetters and gags do not represent
II. II directs more than Il dams up; II
terminates more than IL stamps out
God purifcs our soul much as we air our
rooms. We do not keep the doors and
windows shut, and throw in chemicals,
trusting that they will master and re.
new the vitiated elements; we open all
the doors and windows and ventila-
tors, and let Gods pure air flow
In from without, and thus purify
the chambers So II is with religion.
IL throws open the windows Of the soul
the windows Of feeling, OF impulse, OF
imagination, Of purpose-and sends a
strong current OF vitalized grace sweep
ing through them, until every apart
ment Of our nature is reoxygenized and
made healthy and bracing. Negatives
do not express religious duty. The
"shall nots" are less frequent than the
'shalls." Religious life is the slow
growth Of all the faculties, and not the
slow strangulation Of them. Religion
no moro cramps O man than fms do
fish or wings do bird. II supplies him
with propelling power. A Christian
man should be an active man, every
fiber vibrating with energy. The gos-
pei Is gospel OF liberty, not Of slavery.
The more II works out lis legitimate
effects In man, the more Is he emanci-
pated. The direct promise Is: "The
truth shall make You free."-St Louis
Republic.

MELBOURNE'S RAIN.
The Canton Wizard Proves Sue
cess in the West
And Produces the Finest Downpour OF
the Season at Cheyenns-.-weather
Prophets Ali at Sea.

A special from Cheyenne, Wyoming
says; IL Frank Melbourne did not produce
rain here this afternoon It must be con-
ceded that he has private and accurate
advices from the rain making regions. He
operated with bis secret process, and
there were two showers amounting to
nearly half an inch of precipitation.
Every condition favored continuation of
the fair weather of the past four days
all the instruments of the local signal
office declared that rain was hundreds of
miles away, and no one complained Of
aching corns. Captain Ravenscroft, the
weather bureau agent here, went out on
the roof repeatedly, watched his barome-
ter closely, found the tool for registering
humbly inactive and declared on his repu-
tation and without prejudice that IL it
rained today he was no prophet.
AT 2:30 p. IN. this was the exact condi-
tion, with the streets crowded. In Is min
utes, and with all the weather indicators
lying, rain set in. Clouds gathered over
the shop of Melbourne; lightning flashed
and the thunder sounded hollow like a
counterfeit, In 20 minutes the gauge
showed 11-hundredths of an inch of pre-
cipitation. The clouds then floated away,
and 1t seemed as though the weather had
settled for the rest OF the day, but in two
hours Melbourne started his mill again
and the sharpest shower of the season
came up, making the total fall very near
the promised half inch.
Captain Ravenscroft, student, who has
been five years in the service, is firmly of
the opinion that the precipitation was due
almost wholly to artificial causep. Every
appearance and indication was against
the visitation. The heavy rain was local,
Cheyenne being the storm center Of q
90-mile circumference.
Melbourne and his hackers are simply
elated. The wizard and his brother will
bet anything and go anywhere. The ex-
periments will be continued. II coRclu-
sions are reached, Melbourne will be en-
gagged TO furnish showers for large areas in
this State. He keeps his secret we'll. He
works in a barn and loafs very little.
There ia hole in the roof for his use, but
its utility has not been ascertaired. Opin-
ions are divided as to whether he uses
chemical or electricity. The two storms
came from different directions.

DlSGRACEFUL AFFAIR.
A Gang Attempt 10 Do Peanut
Vender,
And as q Result BloodIFlows Freely nt the
Fair Grounds Tuesday Afternoon,

| 1t should be said in advance that no
blame may be attached to the manage
ment OF the exercises at the Fair grounds
Tuesday, for the dissraceful row which
occurred when the parade was coming
through the gates on the way back 10 the
| city. The whole affair occurred outside
the grounds and was caused by a crowd of
lawless young fellows who do not take in.
to account where they are when they GET
| a few drinks in them.
Frank Hahn,who has previously figured
in affairs OF a similar nature and who is
| not unknown to police authorities, came
out Of the grounds accompanied by gang
OF his companions. Hahn was Just full
| enough to be Iuarrelsome.
Anton Chileas, Greek, had peanut
wagon standing near the gate, and the
young fellows thought they would get
some. They didn't want to pay for them,
and went about helping themselves. The
Greek demonstrated when one Of the fell
lows tried to upset the wagon. The Greek
whipped out a knife and made a
sudden start at Hahn, inflictinR
a wound In the arm from which the blood
flowed freely.
This was the signal for a general row.
The Greek seeing that be was overpower-
ed attempted to get away, but was knock
ed down and kicked several times. Young
Hahn could not be held and he threw
stones and did about every thing else he
could to inflict an injury on the now
thoroughly frightened foreigner.
At this juncture Officer Becherer and
Deputy Sheriff j. j. Hoch arrived and at
tempted to quell the riot. The gang was
too much for them, and young Hahn
rushed in and again struck the Greek who
was already bleeding from a dozen cuts
and bruises.
The Greek broke away and ran across
the street, the gang following with young
Hahn in the lead. Stones were thrown
and 1t was dangerous to be in the neigh
borhood for fear of being struck with one
of the missiles.
Back across the street ran the fright
ened Greek, followed by Hahn and several
friends of the young tough. As the
Greek passed the Playground fence

| that three of the Greeks ribs were broken.
He was otherwise badly used up, his face
being beaten almost to q jelly.
Hahn was arrested later and brought
before Acting Mayor Reigner by Deputy
Hoch for assault. Hahn pleaded guilty
and was fined IS and costs and sent TO jail
for 30 days.

MIRACULOUS
Was the Escape of Godfried Wild
From Instant Death.
He Meets with Serious Accident at the
Fair Grounds, and is in a Critical oondi.

The pleasure of the afternoon at the
fair grounds Tuesday was greatly marred
by a serious accident which befel Mr..
Godfried Wild, one Of the officers of the
day.
Mr.. Wild was on horseback, and in
company with Philip Smith who was also
mounted, he started around the race
track. Tho gentlemen rode along at a
lively pait, and when the back stretch
was reached, they turned up through the
grove for the purpose of dismounting.
The horses we're still running quite
rapidly and we're just being checked
up, when the stead upon which
Mr.. Wild was seated, sheered sud-
denly to one side. Mr.. Wild was not pre-
pared for this sudden move on the part of
his horse, and was in consequence thrown
out of the saddle.
Most unfortunately the horse was pass
ing tree at the time and as Mr.. Wild
was falling he struck the tree. The con-
tact was violent and the unfortunate gen.
tleman fell to the ground insensible.
He was picked up and assistance rem
dered, when he regained consciousness
for few moments. Miller, Blanchard
& Co.'S. carriage was at hand, and the in
jured man was placed in it and driven
rapidly to his home over Philip Wilds
place of business, No. SO East Fifth street.
On the way in from the fair grounds he
became unconscious and when his home
was reached he was carried into the house
in that condition.
Drs. Post and Brant were at once sum-
moned and an examination Of the injuriel
received, was made. There were severas
bruises and confused wounds in the head,
and it was thought also that the spine was
injured.
Today Mr.. Wild is resting easily and
will in all probability recover. His escape
from instant death is miraculous as the
blow upon his head was severe one.

SWALLOWED UP By THE TRUST

The Mckinley Bill Gets in It's Work at

Wages TO Fill the Pockets Of a Pitiless
Trust.
AKRON, o., Sept. 2.-lSpecial. l-The
great Schumacher American Cereal Com
many, which furnished such superior oat
meal to the United States market, has
mortgaged its whole concern to the North
ern Trust Company of Chicago, for 81 ,OOO,-
600, payable in 1911. The mortgage covers
plants at Akron, Ravenna, Cleveland,
Chicago, Rockford, ILL.,, Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, and Coralville, Iowa. This is a
great blow at the oat meal industry of the
country and means a lower grade of
goods, a pitiless scaling down of wages
and the placing of a staple article of the
peoples diet at the mercy OF a grinding,
conscienceless trust, There is great ap-
prehension among all the employees here,
who expect to share the same fate as the
girls who have had their wages scaled
down from 10 to 25 per cent.
