well, they tell me he claims he run But
termllk falls in a boat, an can do it agin,
any day In the week. Now. any body as has
seen Buttermilk falls knows that's q lie, but
| tell you what l did oncet l went over
Plerceteld falls on q log, an it didn't kill
me neither. P'raps some on you gentlemen
never see Piercefeld falls. Well, it's where
the Raquette river Stops over a ledge
straight down thirty feet.
This was the way it happened. Some
twelve years ago this spring | worked on
the drive, takin' logs down the Raquette
The boss had me an another Teller come
on behind an pick up the logs that got
stuck. The other chap-we called him
Louis-was big, lazy Kanuck.
Zone mornin' we started from the reser-
voir an worked down the river. The French
critter had bottle of whisky, an took two
we got down to Piercefeld we found a
clump of logs stuck on the left bank Just
where the eddy makes that rifle over the
rocks. Louis was too shakv about the
head to be of much use, so | stepped out on
the f6rtheSt log to see which to loosen, AS
l was standin' there with my back 20 the
shore, what did the drunken fool do but
take his settin' pole an pry off the log |
was on.
The river goes so fast there that the log
with me on it was switched into the middle,
an headed for the falls before | could git
my mouth open to cuss. | see there was no
help but what l must go over the falls.
There wasn't much time to think, tell YOU
Howsomedever, knowed just how the logs
acted goin' over, an l guessed I'd be all
right if | stuck to 1t an did not let go my
holt. So Rugged the log lighter'n the
skin on an old does back. Over we went,
kersouse. Well, sir, that log fell as straight
as plumb an was goin' SO fast it didn't
stop till it struck bottom, forty feet below
the surface. Great jumpin' Judas whot u
welt 1t gave the bottoml l was purity strong
In them days, but no huming bein' could
stan a thump like that. l lost my grip an
went wabblin' to the top as limp as a chewed
shoestring.
81 don know how done it, but some way
or other kicked myself to the shore an
crawled out, that shuck up l did not know
which end l was standin' on. After awhile
l spanked up a bit an walked backed to
find Douis. Well, sir. if you'll believe me,
that mean cur, soon's he saw me comm,
yanked out the bottle an emptied the last
drop into his own gullet. Well. boys, l
aohed to tackle that Kanuck, but was
kinder wet an stiff an was glad to git off
as well as | did. But I'd like to see that fell

Ex-Congressmans Kelly of Kansas
Joins the New Party.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Aug. 4.-The Stars
Topeka KAN special says: "a letter from
Harrison Kelly. ex-congressman from this
district, in which he denounces the Repub-
lcan party and declares that in future he
will be found lighting with PETER. Polk
and Simpson, has created more talk in po-
litical circles than any event of the kind in
the past few months. Mr.. Kelly's letter
was in response to a communication from
Mai Hudson, editor of the Topeka Capital,
requesting him to deny the statement pub
lished in the Peoples party papers concern
ing his political faith. Mr.. Kelly says he
has turned to the new party, the Peoples
party, as the best medium through which
to accomplish the reforms demanded by the
people. Favoring their measures, and be-
lieviug their enactment would result in
great benefit to the people. and both old
parties having rejected them, he thinks the
logical thing to do Is to support the party
that fayors them.

OUR PERSONAL ASSESSMENT.

The list of personal property assess
ment given in the Journal-Press of1ast
week is erroneous so far as this city is
concerned. and does us very great in
justice. The HERALD does not think
that paper would knowingly misrepre-
sent this city in a matter of such grave
Importance, and will doubtless correct
the error whenits attention is directed
thereto. In its comparative lists for
1890 and 1891. it gives the following
figures: 1890, $155, 1922; 1891, S134,-
$50, showing loss, or depreciation, OF
more than $4,000. The facts are that
our assessment in 1891 is $164, 465, as
shown by the official record in the office
of the city clerk, a gain of nearly $10,-
600 during the past year. The city OF
st. Cloud shows a loss of nearly $780,
OOO-from $462, OO9 to S443, 125. The
following is comparative list OF the
westerly towns, the total for the county
being $2,O31, 1892 in 1891, or about
sc, 900 less than last year.
