OTTAWA, June 8. - Passengers who
came in on the "Emporia plug" report a
thrilling scene at LIE Loup, in which a
woman and babe were placed in jeopar-
dy of life, and saved through the quick
witted action and bravery of Brakeman
Mart Deem.
They heard a succession of thrilling
screams, and saw a woman holding a
babe and man apparently being drag
ged by the cars along the platform.
The man, who wore the cap of brake
man, was evidently endeavoring to re-
lease the lady, whose garments bad been
caught on the iron work; it was a despe-
rate struggle, for several times the two
persons were almost dragged from their
feet to be rolled against the wheels; but
the plucky man held fast, and finally the
lady's dress skirts gave way at the waist
and she was dragged into security. A
boy had in the meantime sprung to the
rescue and caught the baby from its
mothers arms
Conductor Scott had signaled his en-
gineer to go ahead before the lady had
time to get of the steps, Her dress
caught on some projection, and but for
Brakeman Deem she would have been
whirled under the wheels.

WILL PUSH THE FIGHT.
A National Free Silver Democratic Con-
VentiOn VIII Be Called.

A National Free Silver Democratic Con-
ventiOn VIII Be Called.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June Sit is no
longer a secret that the Illinois silver
ties, under the leadership of Governor
Altgeld and William Fl. Hinrichsen, in
tend to cut loose from the present ma
tional Democratic organization and form
a new Democratic free silver party. The
plans were laid months ago. and so far
everything has worked smoothly in the
interests of the managers of the new de-
parture. The echoes of the state conven-
ton had scarcely died away when Chair
man Hinrichsen declared that the state
committee would now start in on the
national work.
"If the national committee refuses to
call a national Democratic convention y
Mr.. Hinrichsen said, I'VE shall call on the
state committees of the various states to
act with the Illinois committee in calling
such convention. The result of such a
national conference will be the same as
that of our state convention. 1t will unity
the party and leave the gold men in a
hopeless minority"
This bold utterance is backed up by
Governor Altgeld, who said that the call
ing of a national convention was the
original purpose of the men who called
the Illinois silver convention.
81 was the originator, or rather, one of
the Originators, of the national conven-
tion scheme" the governor said, land
| did everything in my power to secure its
adoption. We are not content with sim
ply expressing our convictions. We are
going to fight for them and push the
| fight all along the line
The national committee will be re.
quested to call national convention, but
it is not dreamed that it will accede to
the request Neither Chairman Hinrich-
sen nor Governor Altgeld expects it to.
| Then Mr.. Hinrichsen will ask the various
state committees to join with
| him in calling such convention.
| Wherever a state committee re-
fuses to join the call the free
silver Democrats of that state will be re-
quested to issue call for state conven-
ton to select delegates to the national
convention. In other words it is the
| programme to ignore the national COM
mittee and all state committees that do
not fall in line and call a national silver
| convention, which is expected to reor-
| Canize the party and take the reins of
organization in its own hands. This,
of course, means the disruption of the
Democratic party. The leaders in the
| movement have now gone too far to re-
| treat.
Twenty-four of the national commit
teemen are opposed to the free coinage
idea, twenty-five favor free silver, while
| the views of four are not known

arrested Harrington is supposed to be

THE OOTHENBURG SYSTEM

The GUthenburg system of regulating
the liquor ira fio was first adopted in the
town of Gothenburg, sweden, from which
become such a widespread curse In that
country, as we'll as in Norway, that. in
1864, this system was inaugurated with
the hope OF restraining it.
According to this system the municipal
council is the licensing power. 1t grants
the license to a company of shareholders.
These shareholders are not permitted to
MAKE more than 6 pei cent on the capital
they nominally invest. All profits made
out of the business above this go to the
municipal counoIl to defray the expense
of public Improvements. The municip nal
council grants the m Onopoly of this ousi-
ness for limited term Of years. 1t ~.
tains control over the operations of the
society, whose books are open to inspec
bars, where they shall be located, and
time of opening and closing. 1t prohibits
the sale Of into xicants to boys under II
years of age and to inebriates. A part OF
the com mittee of management Of the
business are selected by the share holders
and the remainder are appointed by the
municipal council. a modified form OF
the Goth en- burg. system is in operation in
Norway.
otrictiye license method ever tried. 1t
has manv advocates in Norway iand
Sweden as high license in this country.
Its results, as reported by reliable per
sons, as we'll as the fact that in 1884
new law was lassed BY the Norwegian par
1isment that requires a more strict con-
troll of the dispensaries, show that this
