Escaped from Drowning.
The Darlington Democrat.


Last Thursday morning John O'Neill
and White Wilkinson embarked on the
river in small boat. They let the
swift current of the river carry them
down stream until they reached the
railroad bridge east Of town, where
they could see whirlpool that sucked
in everything that came it's way. They
tried to avoid this but could not paddle
their boat out of the current. AS the
food was at it's highest point and run
ming over the bridge their only hope
was to jump on to the bridge when
they reached it. Wilkinson was in the
front end of the boat and as soon as
the boat reached the structure he grasp
ed timber in the frame work and was
safe. But the instant he left the boat
it upset, and O'Neill was drawn under
by the whirlpool and carried about
twenty feet below the bridge, where he
came to the surface, and after strug-
Cling out Of the current, swan back
to the bridge, which was the only
place he could land for many rods. If
he had not been an expert swimmer he
would surely have been drowned.

The Galena Democrat.
One of the worst wrecks that the
Illinois Central has experienced in
many years occurred Friday morning
about 4 o'clock just beyond the lower
end of the Lead switch about three
miles up the Galena river from town.
A wild freight left Freeport about
1915 o'clock for Dubuque in charge of
conductor McCarty, pulled by engine
No. SOB with Harry Stanley of Freeport
at the throttle and Sidney Schofeld, also
of that city, firing. 1t was fearfully
wild night and the greatest care was
taken by the trains crew to prevent &C
cidents.
All went well with them until they
had reached Lead switch and where
not more than twenty miles from the
end of their run. Here a great bank
Of the earth had been loosened by the
heavy rains and had slidden down
completely burying the track. Into
that the i'll fated engine plunged with
scarcely a moments warning with
frightful force and dire full results.
The ponderous mass of iron and steel
bounded into the air and then plunged
into the ditch and was Instantly buried
almost from sight by the broken and
splintered debris OF the cars behind
it. The tender and one stock car i'm
mediately behind it was thrown far
ahead of the engine.

4 Horrible Affair.
The Monroe Gazette.

\ horribly-mutilated human body
was found in George Copethorn's grove
in the town of Ashippun, near Ocono-
mowoc. The head was missing and
the body had been cut open and then
sewed up with fine wire. Later the
head of woman was found. No one
can give any clue to the mystery, and
as this is the third body found in such
condition in that vicinity within re-
cent years, considerable excitement
prevails over the affair.

A NEW DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Of Mines and Mining Pra-
posed for the Cabinet.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The Precedent for the Success of the
Sister Industry.
NEW PORTFOLIOS KxrxNs1vs.
Colorado Does not Seem to Catch ON to
the idea with Alacrity---Relief
for Flood Sufferers.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-An interesting
proposition is that made by one Mr..
Cambinetti, who suggests that the cab
met be augmented by the creation of q
department of mines and mining. The
department of agriculture seems to have
justified its existence and the author of
the new suggestion apparently believes
that the sister industry would require
similar recognition from the government.
But Colorado, the one state above all
others to champion any suggestions that
hold out promises of benefit to mining
interests, has not demonstrated even a
mild degree of enthusiasm over the prop
osition. If the proposed department
were practicable and could be put to real
service it is to be imagined that some
thing would have been heard from the
men most concerned. New portfolios
are expensive luxuries. Possibly the
cost of a department of mines would be
greater than its services to the country
would justify. Nor can every industry
have a department specifically devoted to
itself. Any new addition to the present
organization of the cabinet will be looked
upon with suspicion by the public at
large as being chiefly useful in the dis
tribution OF government jobs for political
ends. A new department would, in the
Addisonian parlance of the lobby be
but puddin' for the politicians.

MINNKAPoLIs, June 10.-Up to the
time Mr.. Quay took the floor last night,
for the first speech of the convention on
the Alabama contested case, it has been
commonly remarked that the gentlemen
who are supporting Mr.. Blaine claim
everything and disclose nothing. In fact
Mr.. Quays' silence has seemed to be
little less soft and thick, less velvety in
character, than the triple-ply, plush
lined silence of Mr.. Blaine. Experts in
the matter have noted that, while the
Quay article creaks and rustles little at
times, Mr.. Blaine's keeps mp one low
monotonous purr of perfect inaudibility.
AS large part of the nation has been
intently hearkening to 1t, the breaking
of it, when 1T does break, will be some
thing memorable. The effect of Mr..
Quays' speech may be noted on the VOTE
Up to this time, however, the men
who are directing the Blame movement
have acted more like individuals who
are committing trespass on another
mans premises than like those who lead
great popular uprisings. They have
moved about with dark lanterns, hold
ing midnight conferences and conduct
ing business in whispers and cipher On
the other hand, the Harrison managers
are outspoken, and attract great deal
of attention Their clubs all sing, as
well as speak, and one of their songs has
chorus like this:
And randfatherss hat fits Ben.

ious to be meant for practical joke.
Evidence OF this may be observed in the
fact that after Mr.. Quays' speech the
convention last night adopted the
minority report of the committee in the
Alabama contest, which was favorable
to Blaine.

CINCINNATI, June 10.-Probably none
rof the many fasinating theories that have
been advanced by astronomers during
the last decade is more interesting than
the recent Investigations as to the planet
Mars. Seemingly, the idea that that
celestial neighbor is inhabited has taken
renewed hold on the savants, and, if it
is not yet accepted by them as fact, they
nevertheless distinctly countenance it.
One of them now suggests that by level
ing off a plane fve miles in diameter,
covering it with a coating of black and
constructing thereon a frame carrying
6 .0O0, 900 intensely brilliant arc lamps,
it would be possible to establish COM
munication with the Marsians. 1t is
even intimated that as they may be
more advanced state of civilization than
ourselves they could easily respond.
After seeing the earth flashing its signals
! at regular intervals they would construct
a similar semaphore and commence in
ter planetary conversation. The enor-
NOUS expense of such an experiment,
coupled with the uncertainty as to its
result, makes it improbable that it will
be tried during the present campaign.
