 Thrilling Experience. Two of our most popular young men barely es-
 cape death by drowning.
 On Tuesday evening last, as the blister ing sun was shedding his last burning rays OCT the blue waters of the lake, the guests at Mayland Park were mortified by shfieks for help.
 Paralyzed with apprehenson, the occu- pants of the hotel and villas rudely "press- ed" toward the water.s edge.
 A heartrending spectacle met their gaze. With blanched cheek and moistened eye they watched what seemed to be fearful catastrophe.
 L. F. Eaton, D. D. S., and G. Lewis Nichols, M. D., while returning in the Victor from Laurel Camp, where they had been passing the day with genial Leach and Milk Shakes, were struck by a Tsquall- off Patmos Isle and rudely over- turned or pressed into the water.
 ssTo the rescue 70 was the cry. Boats were manned and hastily rowed to the scene of disaster.
 There, clinging to the rigging, were seen the sylph-like forms of the strug- gling sailors. The rescue party ran alongside and desperately clutched the drowning men, while a shout, long and prolonged, went up from. a thousand hearts upon the distant shore.
 Slowly and carefully came the rescuers with their precious freight shoreward. With loving arms they bore them to t'The Cliff," where, after hours of unre- hitting effort and liberal quantities of Old H., they were finally restored to friends and lovers.
 E. N. Clark, D. D. s., the omni-present one, is deserving of special notice. He is the hero who, regardless of himself and his sweater of perennial whiteness, piled manfully the oars, and was first up- on the scene and boated the helpless ones. | In this connection we wish to state that public testimonial expressive of the appreciation of his daring courage esill be given in the casino at an early date.

 Three fine specimens of the Mayland Park dueks* strayed away from the lake late yesterday afternoon. As night came 1n and there was no signs of their coming TT mueh anxiety was felt for their safety }l4 was feared that some of the wild ani. mals known to exist on the islands of the lake would gobble them up unless they came back before darkness set in; but just as rescuing party was being orga. nized to go in search, The ducks came back, With a quaok, quack, quack, and there was great rejoicing in the camp over their safe return. The proprietor of the place would have been very sorry to have lost them from his fine collection They must have wandered many miles away.

 Should have known better than to have led them on such wild goose lark suits.

Cochise is the southeastern county of Arizona, and is almost perfect square, being s3xS4 miles in dimen- sion. It's area would include more than five states the size of Rhode ls- land. more than three as large as Dc laware, and is much larger than the state of Connecticut. It is situated on the continental divide, at an aver age altitude of 3S00 feet above the sea level. The altitude and latitude to- gether give perfect climate, escap- ing the severe cold and frost of north ern winters and the encryating heats of southern summers.
 Cochise county is trayersed by three great yalleys-the San Pedro, San Si mon and Sulphur Spring valleys.
 In the San Pedro valley are 50,000 acres of land susceptible of cultiva- ton, of which less than 5000 are ac- tually cultivated. Artesian water has recently been developed in the St. David settlement, about six miles s0ntheast of Benson, and the develop usent of water for irrigation by thls method will supply water for cultiya- tion of much Of the valley.

WHAT THE PAPERS say.

No state elevator will be built The
supreme court declares the act uncon-
stitutiOnal. What is the constitution,
anyway? A prey for the corporations.
Fergus Globe (Pop.).
In the present instance the supreme
court wisely states that the state could
with equal propriety engage in the
brewing and lumber business as in the
grain trade, and who can deny the logic
of this argument? Cloud Times.
The state elevator decision may be
unfortunate, but it will be we'll worth
while just to see DonneIly fume. Won't
he be angry, though! The leader in the
Representative next week will be head
ed "Usurpation," with six big black
creamers.-Duluth Commonwealth.
That law was doubtless we'll meant
by its author and supporters, but it was
based upon an utterly wrong concep-
ton of the functions and duty of the
state, and was therefore demoralizing
In its tendency upon public sentiment,
as it would have been destructive in its
actual results if carried into active op-
eration.-W Winona Republican.
This decision is eminently Just and
proper. The establishing of a state
elevator and entering upon the grain
buying business is a species of socialism
which should not be encouraged. The
only good which the Free Press could see
from the establishment of a state ele-
vator would be to demonstrate the i'm
practicability of such a course.-Man-
kato Free Press.
The doctrine that the state could en-
gage in the grain business was deemed
unsound by those who had given the
subject careful consideration. 1t would
hardly be contended by any one that
the state could enter into the dry goods
or grocery OF hardware business, and if
it could not engage in those lines how
could it constitutionally enter into the
grain trade?-Duluth Herald.

Knocked into a cooked hat. / he supreme
court has decided that the state had no
right to go into the grain business. This
ends the whole matter, and the advo-

Rio DE JANEIRO, Jan. q, via Monte
video, Jan. 7.-Admiral da Cana still
holds out. stating that he expects the
Aquidaban and the Republica with re-
Inducements tomorrow FROM the south.
He appears confident of the ultimate
result, and received e12,0O0 on Saturday
from sympathizers, in order to pay bis
men. The diplomats have refused to
recognize the belllgerent status of the
insurgents, on the grounds that the pro-
visional government has not sufficient
standing. Admiral Chavas, the minister
of marine, resigned his office on account
of difference of opinion with President
PeiXoto regarding the Imprisonment
and general treatment of the naval
officers suspected of sympathy with the
insurgents. His successor, Admiral
Meatto, is considered honest, though he
has no special ability. The past week
has been uneventful. There was some
skirmishing in the vicinity of Mocan-
que and occasional firing along the
shore front of the city. The forts at the
mouth Of the harbor, which have been
silent for the past week, fired again to-
day. The cruiser Tamandare fired a
few shots daily at the batteries of the
Nictheroy, the latter replying.

ALGER FOR SENATOR.
The Detroit Tribune Grooms an
Early Bird.

DETROIT, Jan. THE Detroit Trib-
une, the leading Republican newspaper
of Michigan, will publish tomorrow
morning column doube-leaded edi-
torial advocating the election of a legis-
lature this year favorable to the choice
of Gen. Russell A. Alger for United
States senator to succeed Senator Nc
MILAN. 1t urges him "chietiy and par
ticularly because the united action of
Michigan Republicans on two great oc-
casions in the history of the national
Republican party has made him the
logical nominee of the Republican ma
jority." Gen. Alger was presented by
Michigan Republicans as a candidate for
the presidency in thenational convention
of 1883 and in 1892. Although again in
dorsed by Michigan and other states, he
remained in the background to assist
Mr.. Blaine's candidacy. In advocating
an early discussion of the subject the
Tribune says that heretofore the issue
has not been made as between iadiYid-
ual candidates until after the legisla-
lures have been duly elected and some
gentleman or other has had the votes
necessary to secure the plum neatly
enSconced in his vest pocket. The con-
dition of affairs has been, in fact, uu-
healthy for the party and unfair to some
exceptionally deserving party leaders,"

be taken up oy the committee later.
The ways and means committee have
two Important tasks before them, one
the final settlement of the terms Of the
internal revenue branch of the tariff
hlll, and the other the authorization of
bonds to meet the present treasury de-
fclt. Mr.. Wilson says the bond queS-
ton Will have to wait until the tariff is
out of the way. There is little doubt.
however, that bond proposition will
emanate from the committee at an early
day. as the majority of the
Democratic members of the COM
mittee ale known to be ready
to adopt measure on the lines
suggested by Secretary Carlisle in his
recent report. On the other hand, there
Is an energetic minority among the
Democratic membership of the commit
tee which does not believe in a bond
issue. Mr.. Bryan believes in coming
the SeIgnIorage now in the treasury,
and Mr.. Whiting would either coin the
selgnlorage or resort TO another issue of
notes, something like the old green
bacKS, to the extent OF Sl0O,0OJ,000 and
L
minority views are not likely TO receive
much consideration, however, when the
administration wants bonds and ma
Jorlty Of the Democrats on the commit
Tee are favorable to the bond project.
Ihe internal revenue features of the
tariff will be passed on by the ways and
means committee within day or two,
as Messrs. McMillin and Bryan have
about
COMPLETED THE DRAFT
which is to be submitted to the full
Democratic membership of the commit
tee, and then to the full committee. The
essential features Of an income tax, an
Increased 10 per cent tax on whisky, a
tax on playing cards, ETC., are
we'll understood. but there re-
main to he determined the inl-
portant details of how the income tax
shall be levied and collected. 1t also
remains to be settled whether the in
ternal revenue feature shall be intro
duced as part OF the tariff bill now
before the house, or as an independent
measure. This point may cause much
trouble, as there is very determined
opposition within and without the COM
mlttee to making the internal revenue
feature, including the income tax, an
amendment to the general tariff bill,
and rushing it through with the prestige
which would attach to the tariff branch
OF the bill. The appropriation commit
tee is making good progress on the large
appropriation bills before it. but there
is no prospect of an immediate report
on any of them. The committee on riv-
ers and harbors will have daily sessions
during the week to bring forward the
completion of their bill. The military
committee is fairly we'll along on the
appropriation bill for the United States
military academy. The other commit
tees Will do much during the coming
week in formulating their work for the
session.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 1.-THE Nlissis-
sippi Valley passenger train that arrived
here at S:05 this morning was held up at
the crossing of the Vicksburg u
Meridian railroad, just south Of Vicks-
burg, at LOS a. IN. The train was stop
ping at the railroad crossing, waiting
for the VickSburg q Meridian train to
pass, when il was boarded by two
masked men. a third man was stand
ing guard on the track. Conductor
Morris, in an interview, gave the follow
ing account of what happened OH the
train: 1--WE were just few minutes out
from the Vicksburg station and had
reached the Alabama u Vicksburg
roads crossing in the suburbs of the
city. The train always stops at this
point and the engineer waits for some
one to come and flag the train. 1 was i'll
the second car of the train. 1t is divided
into two compartments, the part IN
front of the partition being a passenger
compartment and the rear end the bag
gage room. l was standing in the front
part Of this rear compartment with Mr..
Dorsey, the baggage master, when L
heard man yell:
HOLD UP YOUR HANDSn
II looked through the door and saw
two men, both masked, marching the
porter down the aisle toward us. They
had us covered with pistols, and. of
course, our hands went up. One fellow
was big man, weighing, L judge, about
160 pounds. He kept us covered while
his partner, a small, nervous fellow,
went through our pockets. The little
man was evidently new at the business.
Dorsey was searched first. He had no
gun, and nothing was taken from him.
Then they turned their attention to me.

my vest pocket and other little articles
which l had in other pockets. They
then marched US to the express car and
ordered me to open the door. l told
them the door was bolted. Then kick
it in said the big man, and l kicked.
| was still kicking on the door when the
porter, finding himself for a moment
uncovered by the mems guns, leaped
from the train and rushed to the rear.
The two men jumped out and a moment
later
DISAPPEARED IN DARKNESS.
Just as the men got off the train the
express messenger opened the express
car. The robbers evidently became
frightened when they saw the porter
jump off and run to the rear. All the
time we were being searched the en-
gineer kept blowing his whistle for
some one to come and flag the A. & V.
crossing. 1t is the porter's business to
do this. The engineer said we were
stopped eight minutes at the crossing.
When the robbers appeared L was look
ing over circular, and when l heard
the order to hold up hands thought it
was possibly joke of some fellows
about the roundhouse near by, and did
not hold up both my hands at once, but
held up one hand, the other hanging
down with the circular in it. l re.
ceived a reminder that both hands must
go up in voice that meant business,
and obeyed. The men held pistols to
our heads all the time.''

ST. LOUIS, Jan. "A sensation has
been sprung in police circles here by a
statement that may result in the clear
ing up of a murder mystery. On May
20 last Benjamin NJ. McCulloch, paying
teller of the Missouri State bank, was
murdered at his home in Woodstock, a
suburb of this city. All efforts to find
his murderer proved unavailing. Last
night James and Edward Murray, two
colored youths in Jail at Clayton, st.

of Conductor FitZwilliams, made state
ment in which they charge George
Kirby, alias Charles Williams, with the
murder. They afterwards attached
their names to warrants for Kirby's ar
rest for the crime. Kirby is at present
serving a two years sentence in the
penitentiary at Jefferson City for lar
ceny. Kirby is the one who first ac-
cused the Murrays of the FitzwlIliams
