James and Charles Hutley. two
boys from Morris, aged IS and IA.
espectively, who ran away from
home and were on their way to Mis-
souri,, met with an accident this
morning which may possibly change
their plans for the time being, at
least. The boys were eating lunch
sitting on the bumpers between
two box ears at 10 O'Clock
this morning. when a car
was throwa up against them with
the result that Charles. the younger
of the boys, in some way had his left
foot caught between the bumpers,
and mashed in such manner that il
was necessary TO amputate the large
toe. The other toes the doctors
think they can save. The operation
was performed at ST. Anthony's hos
pitai. where the little fellow is now
resting as well as can be expected.

HALLWAY WAGE QUESTION.


q Decision In the Federal Court the Re-
verse Of Judge Caldwell.
PORTLAND. Ore. Sept Sin the
Oregon Railway and Navigation wage
schedule in the United States court,
Judge Bellinger yesterday morning
rendered an Important decision on a
question in point the exact reverse of
decision rendered by Judge Cald-
we'll in the Union Pacific wage sched-
ale in the United States court at Oma-
ia. In the Union Pacific case Judge
Caldwell decided that the receivers
had no power to change the schedule
and rules. but should petition the
SQUIRT to make the change
In his decision Judge Bellinger said
the court cannot expect to stand over
the receiver and follow him through
the minute details of his work Under
the rule proposed which was the one
laid down by Judge Caldwell, the re-
ceiver might want to make 100 or
1, 600 changes in q year for which each
the court would have to give an order.
This would involve a question that it
seemed to him, was Impractical The
question IN this case was Whe Their the
receiver could make reductions in the
wages of emeloy IS without the con-
sent of the court. The parties were
all in court and it made no difference
on the petition of which side got
SAGLC AOE W44CA SLUG WILL 4AbEOQUC0
witnesses first.
The decision was followed by an
other to the effect that the order of
Judge Caldwell in the Union Pacific
case was not binding on the seperate
receiver of the Oregon railway and
navigation company. This disposed
of all the technical points and the
court announced he would hear the
case on its merits The date for the
hearing was set for this morning.
In referring to the CAUSES of the re-
duction in the wages of opera tives,
counsel for the receiver stated that
the reports of earning and operating
expenses for the month of April last
showed a deficiency of over 500 600.
He estimated for the present year the
de ficiency would exceed over 81, O0O.-
600, and if there was to be a cOntin-
ued deficiency in the operating ex-
penses the road had better be
abandoned.

TWO REPORTS PRESENTED

Irrigation Congress Having a Warm De-
bate Over the Resolutions.
DENVER, Col, Sept. s.-The attend
ance at the irrigation congress yester-
day was smaller than heretofore,
some delegates having left for home
Judge Emery of Kansas, national
lecturer of the congress, spoke on
1.-The True Significance of the Irriga-
tiOn Movement in Regard to the Arid
Lands" The arid section of the
the possessions of the government,
had not over :, 900, 600 population. The
be irriQ ated, and, if reclaimed would
provide homes for over rs. 600. 900 PEG
pie. He denied the letter of Secre-
tary Morton to this congress in which
he said: These meetings have moth
ing to do with practical irrigation,
as a bsOlutelv untrue. He advocated
small farms and storage reservoirs
and an irrigation survey, for the pur-
pose Of discovering and distributing
the water of the country for irriga-
ton purposes.
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented its report. 1t consisted of
majority and minority report and an
address to the American people. The
debate on these re ports were limited
to four hours, ten minutes to each
speaker. The resolutions were dis
cussed until II o'clock last night,
when an adjournment was taken un-
til to- av, without any vote having
been taken. It is probable the ma
jOrity report will be adopted.

Says an American business man who
has been living in Mexico. what Mex
leo most needs is education. The ig-
norance of the poems is astonishing.
If the great churches Of America,
which are yearly sending millions of
dollars to China and Africa TO educate
the heather there, would devote
fair portion of that money to Mexico,
far more good would be accomplished
The money would be better spent
and results more apparent. The few
missionaries in that country are do
ing rood. but their number is not
sufficient Then, less theology and
more liberal education should be
taught. and sectarianism should not
interfere with the work. Strange a.
it NAV seem, the English tongue has
displaced the French as foreign
tongue, and is rapidly being learned
bv the Younger natives"

LED BY A CHILD.

LEAN Me- Papa, we Are Nearly
Home.
What a wealth of affection a little
child has for her parentsl History
teens with heroic sacrifices that they
have done for father and mother, and
well that it does, for they deserve
it. A little incident occurred
upon a Philadelphia street car
the other night that brought this
thought forcibly home to the minds OF
passengers. Stopping at Arch street
a little girl helped her father to his
seat. He was big, powerful man
who would not under ordinary cir
cumstances need any assistance of
this nature, but upon this occasion he
had tarried too long at a nearby
saloon. He was very much under the
influence of liquor. AS they sat in the
car, one of the little girls
hands stole quietly into the broad
palm of her father. A tear stood in
either eye, for she knew her mother
was worrying at home. A sick baby
had forced her to remain while the
daughter was dispatched after the
erring parent. After going several
squares the little girl motioned TO the
conductor to stop the car He did so.
She tugged at her fathers arm and
aroused MIN from MS drunken SbupOr-
"Come, papa" she said, 1--WE must
get out here. We are nearly home
The father pulled himself together
and started to alight. 1t was a hard
task for him and the little one was
quick to notice it.
Lean on me, papa" she bravely
said, as she took hold of his arm And
nearly borne down by the weight, the
father was enabled to reach the street
safely. The car passed on. Tears
stood in the eyes of the passengers, as
they quietly watched the pair pass
out of sight in an adjoining street.

Great Loss in the Corn Crop is
Expected.
BANK CLEARIN GS.
Topeka Among the Towns
Showing an Increase

New YoRK. Sept s.-R- g. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
The business outlook is much like an
April day, with alternate clouds and
sunshine. In some branches strong
improvement still continues, while in
others trade is diminishing. Strikes
lessen for the time the working force
perhaps as much as it is otherwise
increased by the strike of garment
makers, which spreads SO rapidly that
an early end is considered certain,
while the strikes in cotton mills have
advanced prices SO much that a settle
ment is thought not distant
The government crop report il ex-
pected to foreshadOw a great loss in
corn. while other observers believe
reports materially exaggerated and
estimates Of the yield range all the
way from 800. 600. 600 to 1, TOO, 600, 600
bushels. This uncertainty affects
business prospects to some extent and
an advance of one-half cent the past
week has followed receipts not half
those of the same week last year
Failures in August aggregated
liabilities of $40, 139, ATT, of which
SO, 172, $50 were in manufacturing and
S5,O7s. 1873 in trading concerns. Dur
ing the week the failures were 215 in
the United States, against 1913 last
year, and AZ in Canada, against rs
las year.

New York, in which his offices are and
these are constantly thronged by the

NOT WISE.
The Clergyman Who Invested in q Poll
Parrot

The Clergyman Who Invested in q Poll
Parrot.
Poll parrots are very curious birds.
Their powers of mimicry are undls-
puted, and he who thinks he can
swear at the bird with impunity and
yet not be made to suffer by Mr. Poll
is not the wisest man in the world, as
is shown by the experience of a cler-
gyman who invested in a parrot that
was formerly in the house of a man
known to be not particularly choice
in his language. The story probably
is true, for the bird played
many pranzs. This minister
was entertaining some friends
atdinner, whenthe bird de-
veloped an unexpected fondness for
insulting the guests and referred in a
sarcastic manner to the large amount
of food they were devouring. Finally
the parson was nettled extremely.
He grasped the sinful bird by the
neck and whirled him around and
around.
There. shut up" exclaimed the
clergyman
The bird, once more in the cage,
shook itself until all the feathers
came back into their usual places
The poll looked at the clergyman
rather 1rOWnlngly and shouted: MY,
how the wind blew through my whis-
kersl''
There is another poll in Philadel-
phia that should be placed in the
same class with the minister's. There
are i've cats in the house, and Polly
d oes not like any one of them Sever
al mornings ago the occupants of the
domicile were aroused by the loud
smeows' of one of the cats. Going
down stairs they found that Polly had
hold of the cats tail The feline ami
NAL was suffering, and at the same
time making strenuous efforts to
scratch out the birds eyes
Polly, polly, let go and you'll get
a cracker exclaimed the sweet-faced
matron-
The bird gurgled out, still holding
on to the tail: Don't want crackers,
want this pussy's tail, and I am going
to have it."

DRAYTON DIVORCE CASE.
Several New Points Of Interest IN Mrs
Drmytonsm story.

Several New Points sf Interest in Mrs.
Drayt0n'n story.
NEW YORK, Sept s.-The World
gavs in connection with the Drayton
divorce case: There are several
points to- Mrs Drayton's story and
every point has the interest OF being
new and made for the first time To
begin-Mrs- Drayton not only does
not regret the bringing Of divorce suit
by her husband, but received the news
Of it gladly. and arranged that
the papers might be served on her at
once. Mrs. Drayton not only viii
contest the divorce suit, but will fight
it to the bitter end. Mrs. Drayton
will answer Mr.. Drayton's petition
for divorce with a cross petition al
Ierin4 unfaithfulness on his part and
gross violation of his marriage vows
She VIII enter a general and specific
denial of all his charges against her.
and will bring what her friends re-
gard as proof positive that she has
been maligned- She precipita ted
the divorce proceedings by de-
the custody Of her children.
All these facts are true beyond
peradventure, her friends say, and
when they are confirmed by the fling
of her cross-petition and by the testi-
mony at the trial the confirmation
will be so sensational that the state
ment of the bare facts viii seem very
tame.
'sHallett Allsop Borrowe, the CO
respondent in the case, was seen in
his Office at the car house of the New
York division of the New Jersey Trac-
intendent He said: THE charges
made in Mr.. DraytOn's petition are
false, absolutely false That is all I
have to say in the matter"

the Same.
There is "a St. Louis gentleman Of
uncertain age but with quite an amia-
bic disposition, residing tout on a
suburban road who has a grievance
and he does not care who knows it
AS the story goes this particular West
Ender has a wife and. three or four
children, and incidentally everything
else to make him happy. There is
only one fault IN the family-the wife
is very superstitious. She believes in
dreams and signs and omens to the
utter disgust of the head of the family.
The Disguised husband started out
the other night to convince his better
half that there was nothing in DIRE ans
and omens- He turned over the salt
box at the table and did not get
mad; he walked under a stepladder
and was not assassinated; he looked
at a cross-eyed man in a street car
and carried out none Of the instruc-
tions that would prevent a hOrri BILE
disaster; and he did many other
things that caused his wife to believe
that he would certainly die before
morning He didn't die, however, but
awoke the next morning with q regu-
lar Mr.. BOwser smile on his face. He
did not forget to call his wife's atten-
ton to the fact, either. and reminded
her that hereafter he did not want to
hear any more silly talk about thus
and SO" being a sure sign Of ''such
and such" The head Of the house
left home in a happy frame of mind
that morning; firmly believing that
he had convinced his wife.
He alighted frorS a car at Locust
and Sixth streets, and, after walking
half a block north on Sixth street,
fell into a cellar. Only one finger
was broken, but he was jolted up in
such manner as to cause grave I'M
easiness- While returning home in a
car the car jumped the track, and he
narrowly escaped death. Upon reach
ing his residence he accidentally
tum bled over a baby carriage and re-
broke his finger. The following day
he was at home in bed, and while the
ever comforting wife ministered to
his wants, he never mentioned any
thing about her superstition.
