FAVORS THE TWINS.

Writing in reply to'the question OF
the st. Louis Chronicle as to where the
next Republican national convention
should be held, Congressman McCleary
says it should be held either in St.
Paul or Minneapolis, and gives four
reasons therefor, the substance of
which are as follows: That they are
accessible by dozen trunk lines of
railway, also from the east by a
health-giving trip over the great
lakes. That they have ample hotel
accommodations; tcould care for 10000
visitors, and their hospitality is pro-
verbal. That they each have a hall
capable of seating 10000 to $4,000, in
which any speech can be heard. That
the convention can keep cool there,
that it should be cool and deliberate
so it's work would meet the approval
of an intelligent people, and that the
cool Minnesota breezes will fit the
delegates for the cool deliberation
necessary.

and took an inventory of his bruises
which were numerous on his face,

Detective Robt. Watson, of the Mil
waukee Secret service, has been in the
city since Thursday morning working
on cases of petty stealings that have
occurred lately. The Milwaukee peo-
pie have been annoyed by the stealing
of the waste used in packing from the
axel boxes of the cars, and the filling
of the boxes with stone and gravel.
A while ago $15 worth of sheep pelts,
belonging to Nick Lang, were stolen.
Tuesday Max Siebert, Is years old,
was arrested and confessed to stealing
waste, and implicated Clarence
Young. He said that they had also
stolen pig lead from the cement
works, and melted it into bullets to
use in their sling-shots, and showed
the bullets.
Officer Kelly went after the Young
boy in the afternoon.
In municipal court Monday after
noon five other boys, or young men,

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Little AdoIph Johnson. FLOWING Train.
Catches On.-FO0t Gone.

Adolph Johnson, the eight year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris johnson,
who live on Tile street in West Man.
kato, met with an unfortunate acct
dent late Saturday afternoon, which
will make him crippled for life. He
is bright boy, rather small for his
age, and like other boys in his neigh
borhood has had fondness for catch
ing onto moving trains.
Saturday afternoon at about $3.50
o'clock he saw passing Omaha
freight train and ran to catch it,
reaching it at point 12O feet east of
LIE Sueur street. Several boys saw
him run for the train, saw the
engineer turn on steam to brighten
him away, saw the lad catch hold of
the iron steps at the end of the first
car, saw him run along few steps
and try to swing himself up, saw him
place one foot on the aXel box, and
saw him thrown on his face beside the
track. His right foot was over the
south rail and both wheels of the for
ward truck of the next car passed
over it, crushing it to pulp. The
lad did not at first realize what had
happened and got up and walked
several steps down into the ditch, and
then was joined by the other lads.
Jimmie Gillen, the herd boy, carried
him to the nearest house, that of
A. @. Tilden. Heuthen went to @. f.
Hallman's store and telephoned for
a doctor, while Mr.. Tilden carried the
injured boy to his home, which was
near by. Drs. Andrews, Davis and
Steel answered the call and found it
necessary to amputate the foot,
which they did two or three inches
above the ankle.
AdOlph's story is that he was driv-
ing two cows across the track, tripped
on the first rail, got up and tripped
on the second rail, and was run over.
He says that the engine was not
twenty feet from him when he start
ed to cross the track, that it was
coming rapidly, that he heard it
whistle some distance back, and that
he heard the bell ring before he start
ed to cross the track. He says that
he had been catching onto trains be-
fore that. 1t is said by the neighbors
that his father was strict with him
about this habit, and it is thought
that the boy was afraid to say that
he was catching on a train when he
was hurt.
The family has had more than it's
share of misfortunes. Mr.. Johnson is
the milkman whose well was con-
demned after the water had been ex-
amined, and to which many cases of
typhoid fever were thought to have
been traced. He wasuhimself taken
with the fever and was in the hospit-
al for three months, and after he
came out his wife was taken with
it. He has sold all but one of his
cows, and is now in charge of the
steam drill at Craig's quarry. The
family is in very poor circumstances.
The train must have been going
from six to eight miles an hour. At
Minneopa the engineer notified the
depot officials of the accident, and
switch engine was Immediately sent
30 look over the ground.
II there is any way to keep boys
from catching onto trains it ought to
be put into effect. The only way
that we know is to arrest all that are
caught doing it.
