Mans Bravery.

A daring deed was performed on the
Savannah, Americas & Montgomery
road by Engineer Bradford. His en-.
CINE was standing four miles from
Hurtsboro when he discovered smoke
coming from large pile of light wood
in the tender. The blaze grew hotter
and there wasn't enough water to
quench it nearer than Hurtsboro. Brad
ford saw that the engine would be
burned if Hurtsboro was not reached,
and leaping aboard he cut loose from
the cars and started on the run. The
engine fairly flew along and the res
nous light wood roared and cracked.
As the speed increased so did the fire
and the heat; and streaming along
behind was a seething mass of flame
forty feet in length. The heat in the
cab was so great that Bradford had to
wrap his cap around the throttle to
hold it. He pulled up to the water
tank at Hurtsboro and in few minutes
had the fire extinguished with but
slight damage to the engine. Bradford
was badly burned on the side. Such
deeds of heroism are rare indeed.

Maine Boiler Laws.

The Maine law relating to boiler in
spection needs bracing up if ever stat
ute did, according to the New York
Sun, for there is nothing to prevent the
sale of boilers declared unfit for use on
steam vessels to mills, hotels or small
factories, where almost anybody is
called an engineer. An instance is re-
called where the boiler of large fac
tory was left to the care of any one of
half dozen persons, none of them hav-
ing an engineers certificate. One of
the men, being near-sighted, thought
he saw startling rise in the steam
gauge, and fed precipitately to the top
of a neighboring hill to await the ex-
pected crash, which never came. A
visitor to one of the large mills of the
state found that the engineer" had
removed the steam gauge altogether,
and inquired how he managed without
it, to which the genius of the boiler
room replied: ''Oh, I've got the safety
valve to depend upon"

Personal Magnetism.

Among the most powerful of unseen
forces is personal magnetism. Two
men address an assembly on the same
topic, and in nearly the same words;
one is listened to with Indifference, if
at all, the other st,rs to every fiber of
our being, and our souls thrill respon-
sive to his ightest touch. 1t is not
what we hear, nor is it graceful pose or
elegant diction. 1t is nothing compre-
hensive or tangible, but an invisible,
mysterious force, which we acknowl-
edge and yield to, even against our con-
victions and reason. This strange at
tribute is not hereditary nor can it be
acquired. Of two brothers or sisters,
born of the same parents, growing up
under the same influences and amid the
same environments, one will possess
this singular gift, another have not a
vestige of it. Fortunate is he who pos
sesses this most happy faculty.

Firms in CHICAGO.

Almost lost in the population Of Chi
cago. partly because of their quiet and
virtuous ways of living, are the Firms,
who number about four hundred. At
tention has recently been drawn to this
little colony because of its efforts to es-
tablish church in which visiting Fin
landers may worship during the worlds
fair. The. faith OF these people is the
Lutheran. Although the sum needed is
two thousand dollars they have been
unable to raise more than seven hun
dred dollars. They now gather every
Sunday in hall, where they are adj
dressed by professors and students of
the Lutheran seminary of Lake View.
None of the Chicago Firms are men of
wealth, but all of them earn an honest
living and keep the peace. Few of
them speak English No greater slight
can be put on the Finn than to confound
him with a Laplander, a mistake often
made. An investigation fails to show
that there is a single Laplander living
in Chicago.

COLONEL A. A. HARRIS, of Fort Scott,
estimates that 10000 democrats would not
support the democratic ticket He said,
Il am in favor of Il straight ticket. If we
indorse the peoples party ticket we sur
render everything. If we nominate our
own ticket.we at least save our self respect.
There is absolutely nothing to be gained
by indorsing the peoples party ticket
Not man on the ticket is a democrat.
Every man on the ticket declares that he
has no further use for either of the old
parties, that he stands squarely on the
peoples party now and for all time.
What inducement is there for democrat
to endorse that kind of a ticket? If the
democratic party is to go ont of business
in Kansas, if it is to surrender everything,
then we should endorse the Wichita tick
ct. To nominate the Wichita ticket
means the disintegration of the democrat
tic party. l cannot see it in any other
way. In my opinion the majority of the
democrats of Kansas want nothing to do
with the alliance party"

We are unable, at this time, to Judge of
the merits of the conflict between the
Carnegie mills and the workmen. Both
sides seem to have acted without modera-
ton, and, as far as the loss Of life is con-
cerned, we are inclined to the opinion
that both are censurable. Our sympa-
thies are all with the workmen and we
are unalterably opposed to the employ
ment of private detectives on such an
occasion. The state and municipal
authorities alone should offer protection
when needed. This is proposition that
we think cannot be successfully disputed.
At the same time we are of the opinion
that man, or corporation, bas right to
do with his own as he pleases so long as
he violates no law and, while we concede
the right of man to strike, and refuse to
work, be violates the law when he at
tempts, forcibly, to keep others from
work.

An eminently sensible and correct
young lady of Harrington, Conn, lately
won q diamond ring offered by Phila-
delphia concern for the best reply as to
whether women in leap year should
help out their lovers who are too bash
full to propose. This was her answer:
IA lady should never, and would never,
if she has>the least particle Of modesty
in her, be so unladylike as to try to dis
cover whether a gentleman cared for
her or not. No lover was ever too BASH
full to declare his love and try to win
the dearest treasure life held for him.
To bashful man nothing is so agree
able as lovely dispositioned girl, who
can converse with ease, yet who never
stoops beneath her womanly dignity
to test that which time will reveal"

JAMES FL. MILLER, postmaster at eau
ley Bridge, w. Va, was appointed by
President William Henry Harrison over
fifty years ago and is probably the old
est postmaster in the country. He has
retained his Office through all the politi-
cal changes of the past half century,
and at the age of eighty-six years is as
prompt and efficient as any postmaster
in the state. During the late war Mr..
Miller's Office was several times within
the confederate lines, but he was never
disturbed or annoyed in any way.

TIE inventive genius of man will
never lie dormant, it seems. Not day
passes without witnessing the produc-
ton of some new continuance in one
field or another. Among the latest is a
new style of shoe. The front and rear
portions of the shoe are connected by
hinge plates, an insole attached to the
front piece curving over the joint Two
tongues of leather are adapted to pass
through loops, the lace securing these
in place around the foot. The inventor
claims that the combination insures
greater comfort than with the ordinary
form of shoe.

The following extract from a lette

The following extract from a letter
written by J. A. Starbuck, of Yorktown
Iowa, speaks for itself. 1.-TWO years ago,
in harvest time, young man came in my
store and said he had been binding wheat
during the forenoon, and WAS SO bad with
diarrhoea and collie pains, that he would
have to lay off unless he could get relief.
l took bottle of your diarrhoea remedy
from the shelf; gave him dose; sold him
the bottle, and gave him the bottle, and
told him I would give him the money
back if it did no good. He came back
next morning and said the single dose
did its work so well. that he not only Kept
up his place during the afternoon, but
dad worked all night; and had the price
of the dose I gave him been three dollars,
it would have been cheap. would fur
Their say, keep on with your good work.
You cannot recommend your medicine
too highly. Chamberlain's Collie, Chole-

AN understood, meek-looking man
was brought up before the United
States commissioner at Atoka, 1. T., a
few days ago charged with horse steal
ing. He had several horses, but no
money, and two Of the brightest Of
Atoka's lawyers offered to help him out
of his trouble, partly from sympathy.
The case against him looked strong, but
his meek appearance seemed to offset
the evidence and he was acquitted. He
gave to each one of the lawyers one of
his ponies as pay for their services. The
lawyers put them out to pasture. The
same night the little man stole back
the horses and skipped from the vicin-
ity. The lawyers, who proved he
couldn't steal a horse, are now after
him with warrant, and the citizens
want to subscribe for q medal to go
with the warrant.

Fusion has been accomplished In
Kansas, at least SO far as the action OF
the democratic state convention can
make it. The vote TO endorse the
peoples party electoral ticket was practi-
cally unanimous On the state ticket
the vote was 227 for an1 176 against
fusion. So far as the electoral ticket is
concerned We think the compact will be
carried out. There seems to be mu-
tuality of interest between the parties.
On the state ticket it is different. There
is neither unanimity of sentiment nor
community of interest. and the average,
business democrat, who cares more for
the credit and financial interest Of his
state than he does for the peoples party,
will repudiate it.

A RESIDENT of Blalsely, Ca, has a new
mode of catching fish. The fish are
baited for some days with mixture of
-four and magnetized steel filings made
into stiff paste or dough. When they
begin to take the bate a magnetized
iron or steel rod, coated with the same
kind of paste, is let down to them.
They soon attempt to suck the paste
from it, and in doing so soon stick hard
and fast. It is not unusual for a fisher
man to haul out at one time long
string or rod of suckers in this way.

FREE and unlimited coinage of silver,
circulating medium not less than $50 per
capita, graduated income tax, demand
that postal savings banks be established
by the government, government owner
ship and operation of railroads, tele-
graphs and telephones, alien ownership
of land to be prohibited, all lands held
by railroads and other corporations in
excess of their actual needs and all lands
now owned by aliens should be reclaimed
by the government. These are the de-
mands of the peoples party. We will
publish the platform in full next week.

Race-Course Camping.

In regard to the growing evil of bet
ting on horse races, an evil that is
daily gathering in fresh victims from
the home, the Office, and, in fact, from
almost every walk and calling in life,
is none too severely scored by Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage in a recent article, in
which he says:
''There is one word that needs to be
written on. the brow of every pool
seller as he sits deducting his three or
five per cent and slyly ringing up
more tickets than were sold on the
winning horse; word to be written
also on the brow Of every bookkeeper
who, at extra inducenent, scratches a
horse off the race; and On the brow of
every jockey who slackens pace that.
according to agreement, another may
win; and written over every judges
stand, and written on every board of
the surrounding fences-that word is
'swindlep Yet thousands bet. Law
yers bet; judges of courts bet; members
of the legislature bet; members of con-
gress bet; professors of religion bet;
ladies bet, not directly, perhaps, but
through agents. Yesterday, and every
day, they bet. They gain; they lose;
and this summer, while the parasols
swing, and the hands clap, and the
huzzas deafen, there will be multitudes
cajoled and deceived and cheated,
who will at the races go neck and neck
neck and neck to perdition.'

Dime Novels and Crime.

In addressing the grand jury at
Newark, day or two ago. Judge Depue
took occasion to call attention to the
harm done by ''half-dime novels, T"
which he characterized as ''the most
pernicious literature that can possibly
get into the hands of children" His
remarks on this subject were prompted
by the case of young Fales, the boy
murderer recently convicted, whose
crime is generally attributed to vo-
racious reading of such sensational pub
locations. Judge Depue gave figures
showing a great prevalence of crime
among young persons and more than in
timated that prolific cause was to be
sought in the species of vicious reading
which led young Fales on to his fate.
Judge Depue regretted that there is no
effective law to reach the traffic In this
crime-producing literature. It may
strike some as being rather odd, OBJ
serves the New York Herald, that,
while stringent statutes have been en-
acted against obscene publications,
cheap sensational stories that beget
crime may be circulated with IMMUNITY.
But this latter evil cannot be suppressed
by law without a literary censorship,
which is odious to Americans.
The most effective remedy is in the
hands of parents and consists in care
full supervision of what their children
read.
