form of his train near Carbondale yes

son of Station Agent Trapp of Waka-

a dress and little bonnet, and too young
to talk.
While the engine was taking water at
Wakarusa, the baby had crawled from
the platform to the car steps unobserved,
and when discovered twenty minutes
later, was hanging bravely on the rear
platform chain, but crying piteously. as
the lurching of the car pitched it from
one side to the other. How it hung on
through a ten-mile run around the sharp
curves of the track is a mystery.
1t was left in charge of the station
agent at Carbondale and returned to its
parents yesterday afternoon.

u narrowly Escapes Doing Serious Dam
age In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. s.-A runaway tug in
the main river just north of Frank I'm
street Saturday caused commotion
among the crews of several schoouers
lying on the lumber market, but finally
stopped after blowing into the dock as
far as the force of its speed could SIND
1t. The tug Tacoma, owned by the
Fitz-Simons & Cornell Dredging com
panp, was lying at the coal dock Of the
o. 5. Richardson Fueling company,
just across from the lur Der market.
In some unaccountable way the ca
gines OF the tug We're started ut full
speed and the tug brought up so sud
denly on the lines that held it to the
dock that they were instantly parted,
The bow of the tug struck "a big scow,
lying at the dock just ahead, and sent
the seow out into the river, with nli
its lines parted. Then the tug took a
river II large number of lumber laden
tug started straight for Il tier of these
boats, which happened to be four in
number. For an instant n collision
was looked for. when, suddenly the
tug made a quick swing, and running
ahead Of the schooner 1t wa. aimed for,
and just astern of tho next tier ahead,
the Tacoma rammed it's way into tho
dock. The heavy timbers and piling
broke with a crash, and the dock y
demolished for twenty feet. The speed
of the tug was checked and in a min
ute the engines were stopped. The
bow of the tug, which is a new boat,
had not suffered in the least, but the
heavy lines which held tho schooners
to the dock were parted as if they had
been small ropes. The vessels were
not injured.

UPPER IOWA CONFERENCE.

Declares Total Abstinence to BE the Only
Basis of Temperance Virtue.
MASON CITY. Ia, Oct. s.-The busi-
ness of the upper Iowa conference, in
session at Charles City, ended today.
Mason CITY was chosen as the place for
holding the next conference. The fol-
lowing temperance resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That we reassert the order
doctrine that total abstinence from all
that can intoXicate is the only basis OF
temperance as n virtue. That we reiterate
the proposition that "the liquor traffic can
never be legalized without SIM
and, therefore, that it is total pro
hibition that is the only basis OF
r legislative enactment: that we
look with incorporating disfavor upon
the re-establishment of the lcgalized sa-
loon when the soul of our commonwealth,
whether by (mulct) tax provisions which
act as a bar to the enforcement of prohibit
tory enactments. or otherwise. That we
recognize the Iowa Prohibitory league as
an effective auxiliary in creating public
sentiment favoring the adoption OF an
amendment to the constitution of the
state prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of ardent spirits within its bounds.
