The claim of the Republicans a. to
their strength in Illinois is wild one a.
shown when investigated in detail For
instance as a part of their claim Of Is, 900
majority in the state they claim . ma
jority in Morgan county and claim that
hacoupin county will be very close. In
1888 Macoupin went Democratic BY 6S3
and Morgan by 217. These two counties
compose the Yhirty-eighth senatorial
district and that the Republican mana
gers do not believe in their own claim Is
proved by the fact that they have only
nominated one candidate for the house
of representatives in this district. Dd
they regard the district as close they
would certainly try to elect two MEM
bers. In Morgan county, which at the
state headquarters is called safe, the Re-
punliclns have been scarcely able to
find men who would accept places on
the county ticket. Several were nomin-
ated for each place before any were
found to accept and some of the places
are still vacant. The fact is the Demo-
Gratis will carry Morgan and Macoupln
counties by l 500 or more, which Is about
the size of the Republican error in the
count in one district. The same error
in calculation would show their claim in
the state 10 Ina about SO,000.

do for any other society-kill it.

The Danger of Surf Bathing

Perhaps the most ordinary danger of the
seashoTe-if danger can be called ordinary
is what are known as the three waves
The breakers as a rule come in u series Of
three. Sometimes the three are small and
sometimes are very heavy, but as rule
the sequences run about the same size.
Imagine a bather inside the surf line with
the surf breaking over a bar about fifty or
a hundred feet from shore. Those big green
waves that rise higher and higher as they
come toward him do not seem very for
midable. The first one rearS its head be-
fore it reaches him with an angry swish.
IA curl of foam like a feather edge crops
out along the top and fills the air with
spray. Then the wave takes more de
cided shoreward curl, the line of foam be
comes deeper, there is crash as it drops
to level, and the bather finds himself
thrown down in caldron of seething surf.
Say he is in three feet of water on the
level. After the wave has passed he strug
giles to his feet choking, gasping and half
blind with the salt water He doesn't
really know what has happened, but he
has a dim idea that something has hit him.
Before he has time to collect his senses the
second of the series is upon him and he
goes down again. He is dazed and con-
fused. and he founders around hopelessly.
The third wave is always the finishing
stroke, and gives the life saver. if there is
one, chance to do some work. Guided
by an outstretched arm thrust above the
with which the surf is playing football, he
drags the unsophisticated one out on the
sand. That is the most common danger OF
the surf.-Harper's Weekly.
