As no trace of Dan Riggsby could be
seen by his abductors, as the broken and
splintercd carriage was swept under by
the turbid waters, there was no doubt
III the minds OF the evil trio that the
youth had met an instantaneous death.
Dan Riggsby was fully alive to his
peril as he saw the mass of logs and
driftwood swiftly approaching the car
riage, and his first impulse had been to
leap into the stream to avoid the float
ing debris, but a second thought con-
WINGED HIM that should he do so his
Captors might cOnstrue his action into
an attempt to escape them and take add
vantage of the opportunity to fire upon
him.
When Srggs and the frightened wom-
an leaped from the carriage Dan re-
manned quietly in his seat, but holding
himself IN readiness to execute daring
plan which had formed in his mind III
that brief moment Of peril.
Mortimer Dill and his companions had
leaped into the water on the upper side
OF the carriage, and Dan now quickly
opened the curtains on the lower side
and made ready to sping into the stream
when the proper moment arrived. Then
as the floating logs We're almost upon
him he leaped downward and disap-
peared beneath the tuamIug waters. The
next instant there was loud crash, and
the wrecked vehicle was swept fl--e
sight and carried away IN the roaring
food.
When Dan rose to the surface he was
some fifty yards below the place where
the carriage had been standing. and di.

which We're running swiftly with the
current.
He only allowed his head to appear
above the water 80 as to avoid being
seen by his enemies, and as the drift

huge log and was earned down the
stream
Whoa he had foa.ed a sufficient dis

A Woman's Barbarity

TRENTON, n. j., Nov. 10-For in
fiicting upon her S-year-old child pun
ishment that for barbarity has been
seldom equalled, Kate Laronze, of l0l1
South Clinton avenue, was prisoner
in the police court this morning. The
woman had strung the child up by the
thumbs until the little toot's toes
barely reached the ground and left it
in that position for an hour. While
the little one was so suspended the
woman would occasionally strike ii
and beat it with a stick. The police
were notified and Officer Trayers cut
the child down. The woman was held
to await the action of the grand Jury.

The British Are Pleased

Commenting on the result of the ma
tional election in this country the pa
pers of London express great satisfac-
ton. The Pail Mall Gazette says: Both
merchants and unemployed working
men have reason to rejoice at the DEM
ocratic victory, as with the possibility
of reopening of the American markets
to the goods of England, capitalists
will get a chance to procure some re-
turn on money invested and working
men will have an opportunity to get a
decent price for labor without the ne
cessity of striking.
The st. James Gazette says: Some
satisfaction is felt in England at Cleve-
lands going back to the White House.
The Blaine-Harris regime, it adds, is
far from being agreeable to British in
terests, and a majority of the Amer-
can people believe it to he equally pre-
judicial to themselves.

THE Locomotive in Jerusalem

There was a curious MOslem relig-
ious ceremony at the opening Of the
Jafia and Jerusalem railway for traffic.
The Jerusalem terminus of the road
was decorated with palms, and when
the Mohammedan priest had offered
prayer, three sheep with snOw-white
fleece and gilded horns were dragged
upon the rails and slaughtered. They
were left there until the blood had run
from their veins and Redeemed the ties,
and then the locomotive, freed by this
sacrifice from the Vaccinations Of evil
genii, went pulling out of the Holy
City.-Harper's Weekly.

The Souvenir Coins

The Worlds fair souvenir half-dol-
lar, it is reported, will be the most ar
tistic coin ever issued from the mint.
All of these souvenir coins, except five,
are being sold at a uniform price of 81
each. For the first coin struck off
$4,000 has already been offered, and
various prices have been bid for the
4OOth, 1920, 1S92d and the last coin.
Desiring that these souvenirs be distri-
buted as widely as possible among the
people, and that all, irrespective of To-
cality, have an equal chance to obtain
them, the exposition authorities have
thought to prevent syndicates and
Others from purchasing large quantities
and thus "cornering" the sale. On the
contrary they have arranged to supply
banks, business houses and individuals
in all parts of the country with as
many as they may desire to distribute
among their patrons, customers or
friends

The Monte Cristo Road

+. J. Van de Mark, who is interested
in the bridge contracts on the Monte
Christie road, came down to vote and
returned yesterday. He reports that
tracklaying commenced Wednesday at
Hartford, where the road branches
from the Lake Shore road, and that it
will be completed by Feb. l. There is
usually from five to seven feet of snow
between Silverton and Monte CristO in
the winter months, but the tracklayers
will not allow this to interfere with
their progress. Eight miles of the road
is through the most rugged and su.
blime scenery immaginable, equal in
every way to the toughest section Of
the Canadian Pacific.

Roasted in a Railroad Wreck

OTTUMwA, Ia, Nov. l0-At High

road the fast freight dashed into a local
freight, telescoping the caboose and
four other cars. There were many peo-
pie in the caboose, several of whom
were pinioned in the wreck which
caught fire. Their pleadings for as
sistance were pitiful in the:extreme, but
nothing could be done for them, and
they were literally burned alive. The
following are the names of the dead
Miss Lizzie Butler and Mrs. Johns,
both of this city, and an unknown man
and woman. The former is supposed
to be butcher, of Oskaloosa. Two
others were badly burned.

To Restrict ImmiRration

NEW YORK, Nov. l0-The board of
trade and transportation at its meet
ing yesterday held lively discussion
on the subject of immigration. James
II. Seymour introduced a'resolution to
request congress to consider the desir.
ability of prohibiting immigration for
three years. This resolution was
adopted. The board also referred to a
committee of five-Messrs. Wise, Sey-
mour, Barrett, Wielands and Smith
on the the question of national quar-
rantine. Mr.. Wise also introduced a
resolution on the subject of restriction
of immigration, stating that a grave
question now confronts the people of
this country by reason of the promis-
cious and unrestricted immigration
from other countries.

BLASTED In solid ROCK
Difficulties Attending the Building
of the Congo Railroad
RAILROAD HOLOCAUST IN IOWA
A Fiendish Mothers Barbarity-Wade
Hampton Wants to Be Secre-
tary of War

BRUSSELS, Nov. 10-The mails just
received from the Congo announce the
completion of the Congo railroad as far
as Palaballa, about ten miles from the
starting place at Matadi, ON the river.
This news is significant from the fact
that the engineers considered that the
entire work would be more than one
third achieved when they had carried
the road to the plateau at Palaballa.
The road has been building for over a
year and half, and every inch oft has
been blasted out of the hardest soil of
quartzite. 1t is seldom that a stretch
of railroad is built under more difficult
conditions in any part of the world.
The completed portion of the line skirts
the flank of Matadi hill for several
miles, aud then turns up the Leopold
ravine where a bridge 1000 feet long,
built of steel, has been thrown across
the Mpaso river. The 1000 white men
and nearly 1900 black men who are
engaged in building this road are jubi-
liant over the fact that they have finally
reached the top of the plateau and they
now expect to make rapid progress to
Stanley pool. No considerable engi-
neering difficulties will now be met.
Six more bridges must be built 1t is
expected that the railroad will be COM
pleted in a little over a year more.
Within the first ten days after reach
ing Palaballa a mile and half of the
road was built.

Secretary Fosters Opinion

Secretary of State Foster attributes
the Republican defeat to the tariff
issue. The party, he says, challenged
the judgment of the country on the
Mckinley bill, and the verdict must be
accepted as the will of the people that
a different policy shall be adopted.
Other questions entered somewhat into
the contest, but not to such an extent
as to materially affect the result. Nor
would it have been different if other
candidates had been selected or if other
leaders had managed the campaign.
No administration ever went before
the country with cleaner record. 1t
is the policy, not the personnel of the
administration that has been con-
demned. In this view the secretary
was gratified that Cleveland was likely
to be sustained by party majority in
both branches of congress so that the
new policy will have q fair trial.

cost will be much more than saved the

engine for any ordinary fire, and hose
can be taken where needed much
quicker than heretofore.
