Dashed into tho Crowd.

RUsHVILLE, Ind, Aug. %. "A most
thrilling race track runaway, in which
it seems simply miraculous that sey-
eral people were not killed, occ rred
at the fair grounds yesterday. As 1t
is, eight persons arr injured, two very
seriously. It was the last half Of the
second heat of the 2:50 pace. Mamie
Wood collided with the sulky of CT r.
The latter tore down the home stretch
without driver. Mamie Wood, rae.
ing at gallop, started toward the gap
at the end Of the track. Fully 1000
persons were crowded near this gap.
Into this crowd, with 3 fearful pace,
dasheu the terriefed race horse, tramp
ling dnc er foot women and children.
For two uundred fee through the
crowd the horse dashed on until it be-
came entangled among the -ests and
fell. The sulky was broken into
hudred pieces. Great excitement
caused by the runa way and the Gro @d
stampeded, men ye3en and children
making frantic rush to get away.
Many were knocked down and brue
ed. but not seriously.

Said Knalid was made, prisoner and

Said Khalid and his leading adherents

Meets a Fearful Fate.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2S.-Mrs. George
W. Hibbard, known professionally as
Victoria Leroy, fell from her balloon
today at Clayton, St. Louis county, a
distance of $500 feet. At 5 o'clock
this evening she had assembled about
sixty feet when her parachute became
detached and fell to the ground. The
balloon shot up rapidly. The woman,
in an effort to catch the parachute,
had partly fallen and was hanging
with one arm hooked over the trapeze
bar. When the balloon was almost
in the clouds dark skeck was seen to
drop from it, and the three thousand
spectators groaned in unison. The
frantic husband rushed into the tent
and seizing pistol, attempted to shoot
himself. He was seized and disarmed.
The woman fell one mile north o. the
Fair grounds, first striking a tree.
Fragments of the boo y were left in
the tree. The Hibbards are residents
of some place in Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA. Mr.. Hibbard is delirious and
may never recover his reason.

PredIcting Zen Cent Cotton.

The Macon Telegraph says geatte
man from Selma, Ala, who was in
that city recently was heard to make .
sporting bet to the effect that cotton
would go up to ten cents before the
first of next November. He could
have found several takers, but one was
enough to satisfy him. He gave as
his reason for making the bet that he
had seen the cotton all along the road
between Selma and Macon, and that
the hot weather was giving it thun
der" For a radius of seven miles
from Macon, he said, the cotton had
been burned up by the heat. At any
rate it is a fact that the heat is unset
Ting the market and that there are
fortunes to be made and lost in cotton
Just about this time. We do not know
whether cotton will go to ten cents or
not, but one thing is very certain and
that is the crop is extremely short.
Ten cent cotton would be a good thing
for the farmers and we would hail it
with ioy.

A Converts Bet.

NoBLEsvILLE, Aug. 25.-The Hon.
James L. Evans OF this city, for four
years congressman and lifelong
Repu blican. has come out for free sill
yer. Mr.. Evans has bsen engaged in
the grain business in Nobiesville for
40 years and has lways voted the Re-
publican ticket, but he says he will
give Bryan his cordial support in the
present campaign. He has the fol
lowing unique offer posted in the
Office Of his great elevator:
Il viii contract to buy all the No.
3 wheat you have raised in 1896 at 20
cents per bushel, providing Bryan IS
elected, and with him q free coinage
congress; or will sell you all the No.
2 wheat you want at so cents per bushel,
providing Mckinley is elected.
Imam interview today Mr.. Evans
said: Il will maze money on either
proposition. If Brvan and a free
coinage congress is elected wheat will
go above 70 cents. If Mckinley is
elected and the gold standard 10 con
tinued I can buy it for less than 50
cen+s.n
Among other things he added:
While in congress | served on the
committee of coinage, weights aud
measures, and I think I then learned
just what free coinage of gold and sill
yer means. The experience OF years
since then has only strengthened my
convictions. Free coinage is the
only hope for our farmer friends
We cannot have prosperity on con
stanly falling prices. There must be
a restoration of the price of the
products OF labor before we can hope
for a revival Of business and return
of prosperity"
The long business experience of Mr.
Evans has taught him that labor is
the basis of all pros perity, and when-
ever the prices of the products Of labor
are low, business languishness all
along the line in every avenue of our
commercial development.

a Sensible Republican.

While we are bidding farewell to
weakened Democrats like Brother
Hemphill, of the News and Courier,
and others like him, who have been
seduced from party allegiance, we
have occasion to bid welcome to a
great many men who are breaking
the lines of the other parties and rush
ing to the Democratic army, which is
now in the field battling for the rights
of the people. Judge G. NJ. Robins,
nominee Of the Republican party for
justice OF the Supreme Court OF Flor
ida, is one of the latest accessions to
the army of the people. The Atlanta
Constitution says Judge Robins has
been lifelong Republican, so prom
inent in his party that he was noui-
mated for one of the most prominent
offices OF the State. In view of the
proposed division of the anti-Republi-
can vote, which, if successful, would
inure to Republican success, Judge
Robins had every reason to hope for
victory, but like the patriot that he is,
he could not accept the platform
adopted in St. Louis, and be denoun-
ces that new Republicanism which
makes the gold standard its corner
stone and which ''seeks to immediate
the American people on the altar of
organized greed" AS consequence,
Judge Robins declines his nomination
and declares himself in favor of the
election of Bryan and Sewall. All
over the country there are patriotic
men who recognizs IN Mr.. Bryan the
only hope of the American people,
and who refuse to tie themselves to
the gold standardism which Republi-
can success would be sure to bring.
There is no doubt that the people will
arise as man ard so ahead IN this
work.

The Governor states that Mr. For

rule to not notice personal attacks

slanderous trash which has been re-

He brands every allegation Forman
makes as false and malicious, and
states that Forman knew he was stat
ing falsehoods when he wrote the de-
nunciatory letter. The Governor
states that Forman wanted the posi-
ton of Commissioner of the Southern
Penitentiary, Mr.. Browning of Duquin
applying for Forman, which was re.
fused on account of the Governor
having no confidence in Forman.
This made Forman angry and called
forth the letter.

The grasp which the child has over
the parents heart is seen in what the
parent will do for the child. Storm
ard darkness and heat and cold are
nothing to you if they stand between
you and your child's welfare. A great
lawyer, when yet unknown, one day
stood in the courtroom and made an
eloquent plea before some men of
great legal attainments, and a gentle
man said to him afterward, How
could you be so calm standing in that
august presence2" "Oh," said Erskine,
''Ifeltmy children pulling at my shirts
crying for bread" What stream will
you not swim. what cavern will you
not enter, what battle will you not
fight, what hunger will you not en-
dure for your children Your children
must have bread though you star7e.
Your children must be well clothed
though you go in rags. You say, My
children shall be educated, though I
never had any chance"
What to you are weary limbs and
aching head and hands hardened and
| callous if only the welfare OF your
children can be wrought out by it.
Their sorrow is your sorrow, their JOY
your JOY, their advancement your
victory. And, oh, when the
last sickness comes how you
feht back the march OF disease,
and it is only after tremendous
struggle that you surrender. And
then when the spirit has led the great

grace OF SOO comes upon cnl1o now
unspeakably sttractivel When Sam
uel begins to pray, and Timothy be-
gins to read the Scri iptures, and Joseph
shows himself invulnerable to tempta-
ton, how beautiful the scene! I know
that parents sometimes get nervous
when their children become pious, be-
cause they have the idea that good
children always die. The strange
questions about God and eternity and
the dead excited apprehension in the
parentsl mind rather than congratu-
1ation. Indeed, there are some peo-
pie that seem marked for heaven.
This world is too poor garden for
them to bloom in. The hues Of heav.
en- are in the petals.
There is something about their fore
heads thatmakes you think that the
hand of Christ has been on it, saying,
Let this one come to me, and let 1t
come to me soon. While that one
tarried in the house you felt there was
an angel in the room, and you thought
that every sickness would be the last,
and when finally the winds Of death
did scatter the leaves you were no
more surprised than TO see star come
out above the cloud on a dark night,
for you had often said to your com
panion, My dear, we shall never
raise that child" But I scout the idea
that good children always die. Sam.
