Jennie Creek. Who Earned the French
Medal of Honor.
HARTFORD CITY, April Especial.
Little Jennie Creek of this county has
been regarded as a heroine ever since she
made a danger signal of her little red
petticoat last fall and thereby prevented
a trainload Of passengers, bound for the
worlds fair, from plunging into a chasm
left by the burning Of a railroad bridge.
Now that her bravery has been Tecog-
nized in far-off France by the society of
Humanity, which is to present her with
a medal as a tribute TO her merit, she has
become the pride of the county.
Jennie Creek is only ten, but bright as
she is pretty She lives with Samuel
Personnel her adopted father. at Mill
grove, a small station on the Panhandle
railroad five miles east of Hartford City.
One day last September the railroad
bridge crossing the stream which runs
through Mr.. Personetts farm caught fre
and was destroyed. Little Jennie was
the only one at home at the time and
the only one who saw the fire The west
bound passenger train was due and the
girl knew that If it was not stopped
terrible catastrophe would result. So
she ran to the railroad track, and when
she reached it she heard the roar of the
approaching train. Thoroughly fright
ened at the threatened danger to the
passengers, the little girl yet had the
presence Of mind to snatch off her red
flannel petticOat and run up the track
waving the garment aloft, as she had seen
brakemen do with their flags
The engineer saw her and at once re-
versed his engine. The train rushed by
Jennie, but stopped within 100 feet of the
edge OF the stream.
The passengers sWarmed out of the
cars to find how narrow their escape had
been, and, when they found that they
owed their deliverance to the timid little
girl. who yet chung TO her little petticoat.
they almost overpOwered her with caress-
es They made up a handsome purse for
her on the spot, and the Panhandle
company few days later presented her
with tickets which enabled her and the
Personett family to visit the worlds fair
free of expense.
Most of the passengers on the train
were bound for Chicago, and it is sup
posed that among them were some
Frenchmen connected with the society
Of Humanity in Paris
She has been appraised Of the society's
intention To present her with a medal,
and she regards the honor with all the
modesty that could be expected of
child of her years.

Agent for the Siphon Water
Elevator, which is automatic, for
irrigation, city supply, farms, etc.
This invention as it's name indicates
is based upon the principle of the
siphon known to the Ancients but
it is devised in such manner as to
greatly enlarge the field of applica-
ton. Used until today only for the
drawing off of liquids to lower level,
the siphon now becomes an
Automatic Water Elevator, which
under favorable conditions Is en-
dowed with great powers. In many
instances, land situated higher than
the irrigation ditch can be irrigated
at nominal expense. The Siphon
Elevator is especially adapted for
such conditions, as it can elevate the
water from the main irrigation ditch
to higher one, while the waste is
available for irrigating the lower
levels. The siphon elevators are
made of brass and iron in sizes
ranging in capacity Of from two
hundred to three million gallons per
day.
