PUTNBY.
A Young Italians Narrow Escape from
Death on the Rail.


On Friday of last week, when the noon
passenger train from Brattleboro, was
about one mile below Putney station, the
engineer saw a man lying beside the track,
with his head near or on the rail. The
train was too near to be stopped, and as it
passed the cow-catcher struck the man.
head. The train came on to Putney with
out stopping, and on arrival at the station
the engineer reported what had occurred.
Two men, the station agent and l.. p
Bailey, at once boarded a hand-car, and
hurried to the place of the accident. There
was large amount of blood. where the
man had lain, but no one was in sight. In
a short time, however, man was seen
walking up the track covered with blood
and in a daZed condition, and unable to
speak. He was taken aboard the hand-car
and brought to the station, and from there
taken to DR.. Mungers office, where an ex-
animation was held, the blood still flowing
from bad scalp wound over the eye. The
man had regained his voice in the mean.

blood, and badly bruised all over. DR..

have fallen over with his head toward the

Nevada,

The census bulletin, upon irriga-
ton in Nevada, states that of the
l,34l farms in this State, 1,l67 are
irrigated. The total area of land up-
on whichcrop were raised by irrioa-
CATION in the census year ending Nav
81, 1891, was 224,403 acres, in addition
to which about $4,000 acres were ir-
rigated for grazing purposes. The
average size of the irrigated portions
OF farms, on which crops we're raised
was 1872 acres. The average first cost
OF water rights in the State is s7.59 an
acre, the annual cost of 81 cents an
acre, and the annual value of pro-
ducts S12.OS an acre.
Francis G. Newlands shows in an
extensive address on Irrigation and
Water Storage how most of the lands
of Nevada could be brought under
cultivation.

MEXICO AT THE FAIR.

Ten Thousand of Her People Will BE
Present.
Ten thousand is the estimate that
Lieut.. Baker makes on the number of
MeSicans who will participate in the
exposition. Lieut.. Baker has Just re-
turned from Mexico, and say the in
terest in the exposition amounts to en-
thuSiasm. While in Mexico he visited
nearly every state of that republic, and
gives the following general statement
of exhibits that may be expected from
them: From Neuvo Leon, relics of the
intervention; textile fiber, the plant
n all processes for the manufacture of
fiber from it, all kinds of cereals and
minerals. The state of Tamaulipas will
send q full exhibit. From Tampico, in
II state of the same NAME, will be sent
n model and relief map in colors show
ing the river jetties now constructed in
that harbor, also a very fine display of
cabinet woods and medical plants.
Here Mr.. Baker also secured a valuable
collection of Indian idols for the archBo-
logical department. From Jalisco
there will be sent rebosoS, serapes and
felt hats and a large and varied aSri-
cultural and mineral exhibit. Among
the agricultural exhibits from the state
of Vera Cruz expected are tobacco,
cocoa and medicinal plants. From
Pueblo the exhibit of onyx in large
slabs and in manufactured articles will
make a beautiful display. Oaxaca has
been until lately completely cut off
from the world by the great ranges of
mountains separating it from the re-
mainder of the republic. A railroad to
the capital is now in construction and
the chronological and archaeological dis
plays from these states will be very
large and valuable and IN exhibit par
ticularly interesting will be that Of the
artistic needlework of the motives. In
q general way Lieut.. Baker says that
interest in the fair is manifested by all
Mexicans, from the humblest private
citizen in the most remote states to the
president of the republic, and that the
general exhibits from that country will
more than meet the greatest expecta-
tions Of the visitors to the exposition.
Lieut.. Baker was, until recently, the
special commissioner to Mexico, but is
now in charge of the marine division Of
the transportation department. lie ar

A MARITIME MUSEUM,
Many Interesting Relics Which May ApA

Many Interesting Relies Which May ApA
pear ut the Exposition.
One Of the most interesting features
of the Maritime exchange is it's museum.
Situated in a remote part of the floor,
it is frequently unobserved by the
strangers who visit the institution. but,
those who have inspected it once have
invariably paid it a second visit. An
old sea captain, whose son has sent a
letter around the world 'for the fun"
originated the museum by presenting
the exchange with the envelope that
surrounded the letter. This envelope is
almost covered with post office marks
and stamps and shows that the journey
consumed eighty-nine days, For Sow
cral years after that this was though
to be the star" exhibit of the museum.
1t Is n of the least important now.
Ono OF the museum exhibits is Il big
cane. presented by Abicl Abbott, which
was carved from a plank taken from
commodore Perry's flagship Lawrence.
Near the cane is a canister shot from
the confederate Savannah, the first pri-
vateer captured during the late war. 1t
v presented by Thomas Z. Ball. The
freight contract of the Great Eastern
hangs neal by. Pompeii is represented
by n piece of brick from the palace of
Diomeda, q portion of the walls of the
ancient barracks, and some ava taken
from the wall of the buried city's chief
theatcr. A fragment of stone taken
from the ruins of the church at st. Do
mingo in which Columbus was buried is
on exhibition; a check for one cent
drawn on the United States treasury by
the government for the refunding of
duties paid; a piece of stone given to
the Washington National monument by
the king of Siam; the original seal of
Shakespeare; relics of the Greedy arctic
expedition, and a blood-stained dagger
taken in battle from n Malay pirate.
Next to this weapon is n piece of sail
and a remnant of a gold-woven cloak
that came from a Viking ship of the
eighth century.
The collection is rich in marine curl
o~sities, relics of famous battleields,
petrifactions from Egypt, weapons of
barbarian tribes and works of art and
nature. Among the exhibits is q col
lection of butterflies obtained in the
straits of Sunda, said to be the finest in
the world. 1t was sent to the museum
by Capt. Deslcr, of the ship Lothian.
The shipping men of this city think
so highly of the museums collection
that they are talking of petltioning the
board of directors to permit it to be ex-
hibited at the worlds fair.

The special train, carrying the Cali

When the Georgia editor does tell

sible for the following: Some years
ago Judge Simmons was presented
with a pet snake. One day it swal-

be heard to tick and strike until it
ran down. Shortly afterward the
snake laid 100 eggs. On opening
them he found each to contain an

The Benson Banker and Farmer
Has q Healthy Boom.

Col. II. Ward Stone, the handsome
brother of Representative Lane K.
Stone, of this city, arrived in the city
last evening. and will remain day Or
two attending to business matters. ME-.
Stone is the manager of the Swift County
bank at Benson, and for many years had
the cooperation and assistance of his
brother; in fact, the two were about the
earliest merchants to commence bus
mess in that section of the state.
Ward Stone, as the Benson banker
is best known, is said to be
personally acquainted with nearly every
man in Swift county, and, as result,
the business of his elevator and bank
is limited only by their capacity. In
addition to these two branches of bust
ness, Mr.. Stone is also farmer, owning
and operating several fine farms near
Benson. But this did not save him
from defeat two years ago when he
ran for the legislature. OF course, when
the Alliance movement gained such a
foothoId in his district he preferred to
make the race as a farmer, but the
grangers would not see it that way. To
ming far ahead of his ticket, he was
defeated.
Il am no politician" he said laugh
ingiy last evening. "Lane was always
the politician of the family, as you can
see from the fact that lie was elected
two years ago without opposition while
1 was defeated. Had he been in the
place 1 was he would have been on the
Alliance ticket"
While Col. Stone denies the statement
that he is an aspirant for congressional
honors, the fact is certain that he is
being considered in many quarters as
the man the Republicans Will finally de-
eide to put forward as their candidate
in the new Seventh district this year.
He is considered good deal more of a
granger now than he was two years ago,
and his friends think he will be able to
divide the granger vote.

shoes. The class OF young ladies made

overgowns of fiimsy material re that

loosely about the shapely necks, and
were made loose and flowing so as not

SHALL WE HEAR FROM THE
GAGE9

A Chicago publishing firm has secured
judgment Of over $1,000 against Min
neSOta's political guide and savior, Hon.
1GNATIUS DONNELLY. The Importance
of this event will depend on the firms
future conduct. If they decide to rest
content with their judgment and go no
further, no direct benefit will enSue to
mankind. If they enforce it and collect
their money into the worlds sluggish
moral arteries. revivifying streams of
the noblest AMI pureSt sentiments will
at once be injected. The Sage's lndig-
nation at the wrongs OF the Iaboring
man is never SO fervid, and his grief at
the existence of sin is never so
poignant, as when an execution
against him has been returned
fully satisfied. His o'ervauIting ge-
MUS then leaps forth into the
rOtundest periods. and he rodses the
masses to arms against the usurerS and
the courts which are their corrupt and
willing tools. If Mr.. DoNNELLY'S next
book is Just a pretty good book, the
chances are that the 5000 judgment
will be engaged in nothing more active
than the drawing of interest. But if it
is blazing book, hot with the sOrro VS. of
the honest toiler, it will probably be
found. on investigation, that the Chicago
publishers have resorted to extreme
and successful measures. They have a
great opportunity to stimulate the pro-
ductiOn OF some elevated literature.

the lower house. The caucus was
agreed, but it seems the upper house, in
the interest of reform, presumably, will
set to work to ''buSt" SO much of the
slate as refers to matters within their
jurisdiction. At the caucus, when

came UP, the friends of Aid.

claims as the only member of

was afterward proDitiated with the
promise of the support OF the members

fruit for Mr.. Copeland, as the assembly,
it is said, has other views with regard
to this position. The president of the
council will be acting mayor in the alb
scnce of Col. Wright, and the upper
house has its eye on map who will
creditably fill the bill. This, of course,
without reflection OIL Aid. Copeland.

Second Successful Presentation

An audience that completely filed

was better than the first. The addl-
tional experience naturally told, and the
difficult programme was reeled off III

ing how well the intricate steps of the
graceful Scotch and Irish dances are

have been drilled by Prof. Walker.
yet experts who saw the work of last
night are agreed in saying it will COM
pare with anything they had ever seen.
About tine only criticism that could be
offered is that some of the dances are
too long for the little ones engaged, and
they become palpably tired. This was
very noticeable, last night in the ''Peek
a-boo" dance, which, though very cute,
certainly tired the little ones.
However, the whole entertainment
was delightful success and one highly
creditable to the st. Andrews society,
under whose auspices it was given. The
same performance VIII be given at the
Grand opera house. Minneapolis, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday OF next week.
