Another Statement Concerning the
Accident on Fifteenth Street.

Friends of the two young men who
manned the tandem bicycle that col
lided with DR.. Mathews the other even
ing say the published statements con-
corning the incident did them an in
justice.
They say the riders were on the right
hand side of the street, We're not
searching" and that the accident was
as much the doctors fault as theirs.
They say he jumped off the street
car before it stopped and stepped right
in front of them; that they did not ride
away, but stopped and apologized and
offered their assistance but that the
doctor spurned them and walked off
into the Pavilion to attend a meeting
of the Agricultural Society.
They deny that they alone were to
blame for the accident, assuming that
they had a right to ride along the
street.
On the other hand, it is said the car
had stopped and that DR.. Mathews was
thrown in front of it by the collision.
The statements of both sides have been
given, and they differ in everything ex-
cept that the collision occurred.

Many beliefs are merely absurd
without being dangerous Hair, for
instance, is composed of almost the
same material as the finger nails and
it is perfectly dead. Cutting the ends
of it cannot possibly make it grow, al
though it does prevent the hair from
splitting up; nor can the hair become
white in night any more than wig.
When novelists, too, by the way, de-
scribe a persons hair as standing on
end they speak of a phenomenon that
is perfectly impossible. Many of the
lower animals have little muscles at
tached to the hairs by which they can
erect them; but human beings have no
such muscles, nor any other means of
making the hair stand on end except
their hands or a comb and brush

FERTILE LAND.
New Barley Crop Soon to be Sown
Down the River.

The Isleton correspondent of the Rio
Vista News" writes of a recent visit
to the Van Loben Sells ranch in the
Pearson District. He says:
In the 1,000-acre orchard numerous
varieties Of fruit are grown, including
peaches, apricots, pears, cherries and
plums. This seasons yield will be very
large, as the young trees will this year
bear for the first time. The land be-
tween the trees is planted in beans and
potatoes, which give evidence of yield
ing large crop.
Near the orchard are large fields of
barley, 500 acres of which will be har-
vested during the coming week by
means of a steam combined harvesting
machine. As soon as the crop is har-
vested the ground will be prepared for
resolving.
To those unacquainted with the pro-
ductiveness Of tule lands this NAV seem
strange, but it is a fact that two crops
OF barley can be raised during one sea
son. Oscar Knott is manager of Mr..
Van Loben Sells interests and under his
direction the larger orchard and farm
is worked. In the orchard Chinese do
the work, while white men do the
ranch work.

PETERS mantle had fallen upon Petit
grew. The senator from South Dakota
has succeeded to the position of freak i'm
presario for the Senate. He is introducing
freak bills at intervals these
days, and exploiting their fine
points for the edification of
his conferees. One which he presented
the other day is notable. 1t is somewhat
in line with the desires of the patriotic
republicans who wish more offices to fill,
and also in line with the ideas of the pop
ulists, who propose to cure every i'll and
right every wrong by legislation. There
fore, it may be said the bill was design
ed to fill a long-felt want.
The title of the bill is catholic, embrace
ing everything. It provides that every
trade, occupation, profession, pursuit and
mode Of living, shall be represented in
the cabinet of the President, and be look
ed after by a secretary-salary 5000 a
year. Thus bod carrying is to be ele-
waited in dignity to a level with statecraft
The hod carriers interests are to be
watched over by cabinet official assist
ed by scores Of clerks, copyists, etc. All
prices and rates are to be under the su-
pervision of the cabinet officials govern
ing the respective departments. Thus,
the secretary of public transportation"
is to fix the land and water freight and
passenger rates; the secretary of pub
lie communication" is to see that people
are not charged too much or too little for
their Geographic and telephone messages;
the secretary of public farms is to es-
tablish public farms in every county in
the United States, and govern farming
operatings generally; the secretary of
public periodicals" is to see that every
body receives all the books, magazines
and newspapers that it may be good for
them to read; the secretary of public
hotels is to look out for the feeding and
housing of the migratory public, and the
Secretary of public baths" is to incul-
cate cleanliness by providing washing
places and using gentle coercion upon the
unwashed to induce them TO avail them
selves of the governments fatherly care
and solicitude
Enough has been quoted to illustrate
what fool bill this is which Pettigrew
has imposed upon the Senate. 1t WILL of
course, go at once to the rubbish pile. II
ought never to have made its appearance
in the Senate. 1t is nonsensical. 1t was
hoped that when PETER went out there
would be no one left in the Senate to lug
in such trash. 1t seems, however, that
besides PETER there are Others" and it
remains tr1p that fool measures which
would not receive one seconds attention
from the village council of Squeedunk
Corners, may be gravely introduced, read
and referred in the Senate of the United
States.

Justice Field, who will soon be retired,
was forty-niner aud one of his early ex-
periences was as a member of a vigilance
committee. The mining camp of Marys-
vile elected him alcalde, which, he says,
was an officer of limited jurisdiction. He
proceeded Immediately to make his juris-
diction unlimited, and ruled the communi-
ty with a strong hand. He acted as sec
ond in two duels, and for a considerable
time carried his life in one hand and his
revolver in the other.
Justice Brewer, president of the vene-
zuelan commission, is a nephew of JUS
tice Field, and was born in Smyrna, Asia
Minor. He has lived in Kansas nearly all
Of his life, and was appointed from that
state to succeed Justice Stanley Matthews.
1t Is said that when he went TO Washing

biography in the judiciary directory and
is entitled to it, as his experiences have
been broader than those of any of his

In the Crimea, during the. winter, Gen.
Canrobert was in the habit of going about
among the men of his command, incognito,
to see what they were about. and to learn
their wants and encourage the soldiers if
they needed announcement, says Youth S
Companion. One morning on one of these
tours he came upon a young conscript
who had stripped himself to the waist, and
was bathing his body with handfuls of
snow.
That's an odd sort of soap you're US
ing" exclaimed the general.
"Oh, it's good enough" said the soldier.
''You see I'm young, and more than that,
I'm Lorrainer. from Nancy, and a fell
low provincial of Gen. Drouot, who shaved
himself with snow on the march from
Moscow, you know, with the mercury 80
degrees below freezing. The old fellows
in my company, you see, bother me and
make fun of me, because l haven't any
beard, and, since L can't shave out of
DOORS like Drouot l have to do this to
show those old fellows that I'm no more
afraid Of the cold than l am of the en-
envy"
"Well," said Canrobert, what if I
should give you another way of getting
even with those Old fellows?"
why. l shouldn't mind" answered the
young soldier.
"I'll make you corporal" said the gem
eral.
The soldier laughed. "I guess that
won't 60" said he. You'd find my colonel
would not have it,"
I'm higher up than your colonel; I am
Gen. Canrobert.'
The young soldier was in transports
especially as the same day he was made
a corporal in the presence Of the regi-
ment.

A Queer store.

In cambridge, Geauga county, Ohio, not
far from Cleveland is the querest country
general store ever ran across, says a
writer in the Chicago Times Herald. Balm
bridge is a small hamlet, but the store is
as large and as well stocked as the av-
erage suburban store. 1t is kept-that is,
precisely the word for it-by an old wild
of the country, and is practically a her
nit.
When the civil war began he was run
ming a fiourishing general store In Balm
bridge and made money rapidly during the
succeeding four years When peace was
declared prices which had been greatly in
flated, took a sudden drop. The old fell
low believed that this would be followed
by a boom which would send prices sky
ward again, and refused to sell his goods
for less than he paid for them. Down
went the prices-down. down. down--and
finally ne was forced TO close his store for
want OF purchasers.
To-day his store stands almost exactly
as IL did thirty years ago. II is stocked
with such goods as are usually found in
country stores but, OF course, the stock
Is now practically worthless.
Every day the old man opens up the
place 10 give II an airing He Is there,

speaker was a man who used to travel
because he had a constitutional antipathy
to remaining in one place for any consid-
cradle length of time, says the Detroit
Free Press. This one I've just read re-
calls an experience of my own.
Il had been to South America and was
returning to New York by slow steamer
from Buenos Ayres. The passengers were
few and the chief end of their existence
seemed to be to kill time pleasantly.
Among other things, we played poker, and
the most enthusiastic devotee of the game
was a beautiful Spanish woman, who
seemed not to care whether the little
curly headed god of chance favored or OPP
posed her.
AS the end of the voyage approached
the inevitable happened. for you never can
run series of these contests without
working up to the sensational. The wo-

Then she suddenly grasped a handker-
