DROVE INTO A DEEP GUTTER.

The street force is at work putting
deep cutters and curbing on Hillsboro
street. In some places the grade is
considerable and the new cutters deep.
At the intersection of Harrington and
HilIsboro streets the new gutter is like
d trench, and is four feet deep or more.
The heavy rain had filed these cutters
yesterday afternoon, and they were
flushed with muddy water. The water
was level with the banks and one
could hardly trace the line of the
gutter.
Young Mr.. Allen Higgs. in Sher-
woods delivery wagon, came driving
along at good rate of speed. Without
warning the horse drew to the side Of
the road. In an instant the animal
fell into the gutter head-foremost, and
the wagon rolled on top. Mr. Riggs
and his companion were thrown head
long into the water, and there the
horse foundered with the wagon and
harness until he was released.
Strange TO say, no bones were broken.
and nobody hurt
But. all the same, there was an ex-
citing little time Of it.

tendance and to the compulsory edu-
cation fin Germany.

MIR. BRYAN's RECORD.
Some Facts That Are Worthy of Careful
Consideration.

Some Facts That Are worthy of Careful
Consideration.
1t is fact which the thinking votor Is
considering just now, that William J.
Bryan does not touch upon the tariff, nor
does he refer to the point that his election
will mean a continuation Of the hard times
which have come upon tho country as q
result Of the passage Of tho Wilson tariff
bill--a bill misnamed n measure for reve-
nue., but which produces nothing but de-
felt
Mr.. Bryan is eagerly seeking the votes
Of the farmers, yet on April 7, 1892, he
voted in the house in favor Of the Springer
bill 10 place wool on the free list, thus
striking blow at every farmer who at
tempts to diversity his industry by raising
sheep. The wool growers Of Ohio, Of
Texas, Of the west and southwest, remem-
bor this.
On the next day, April s, 1899, he voted
In favor Of repeating the duty and admit
ting free foreign bagging for cotton, ma
chinery for its manufacture, cotton ties
and cotton gins. Hero he voted against
tho interest of the workingmon employed
In cotton manufacture, OF In the building
Of machinery thereof.
On July s, 1892, Mr.. Bryan voted to re-
duce the duty on tin plate and to repeal
the section of the Mckinley law which
created the great tin plate industry in the
United States. Another blow was then
dealt at the workingmen whose votes he
now 50 eagerly seeksI
On May 9, 1892, Mr.. Bryan moved to
suspend the rules and pass his bill to place
binding twine on the free list. He then
struck another blow at the workingmen,
for hundreds of them found employment
In the manufacture Of twine. 1t will not
do TO say his action was "for the benefit
of the farmer" because the price of bind
Ing twine is no lower now than 1t was In
1892. His bill merely gave foreign work
men employment at the expense of the
American workmen. 1t injured the latter,
and did not benefit the farmers.
On July s, 1899, Mr.. Bryan voted for the
bill to reduce the duty on lead orc and to
discriminate in favor OF lead ores contain
ing silver. This bill could not possibly
benefit any American workingman. 10
injured those employed in lead mining
and smelling; it injured the men who
delye in silver mines. Possibly 1t helped
the men who deal in silver bullion-but
certainly not one American workingman.
Mr.. Bryans votes in congress were uni
formly in favor of measures whose effect
was TO reduce the wages of American
workingmen, and to diminish the amount
of work open to them. He voted to reduce
or remove the duties on imported farm
products. Is aman who votes steadily to
promote foreign interests ut the expense of
our own to be honored with the highest
Office in the peoples gift, as reward for
such actionS
Bryan's votes and his voice have been
and are in favor Of cheap labor and cheap
money-for free trade and free silver.
