SATURDAY, -. SEPTEMBER II, 1897

A little Ohio girl only 8 years old
lately saved her mother from drowning
IL the canal south of Cleveland. The
child could swim, the mother could not.
The little girl was probably too young
to get panicky, as she might have done if
she had been older. At any rate, when
the mother was struggling in the water
the child instructed her to keep padding
with her hands under water, the fingers
being held close together to prevent her
self from sinking. Unlike some
the mother had sense enough to keep
her head on and obey the directions of
her small daughter, who could swim.
While she continued padding with her
hands the little girl swan to her. Then
the little heroine put one hand under
the mothers chin, and, while swimming
with her feet and free hand, steered the
woman to the canalboat from which
she had fallen. Then both climbed into
the boat. That child deserves a gold
medal. and a big one.

In his recent book on 1.-THE People
For Whom Shakespeare Wrote" Mr..
Charles Dudley Warner quotes from
William Harrison, a writer of 800 years
ago, an extract explaining why English
men eat SO mucn. William says: 1.-The
situation of our region, lying neare un-
to the north, doth cause the heat OF our
stomachs to be of somewhat greater
force: therefore our bodies do crave o
little more nourishment than the inhab-
itants of the hotter region are aocus-
toned withal, whose digestive force Is
not altogether SO vehement, because
their internal heat is not SO strong rs
ours"

TO- - GwnlIe II COMES nome 10 us
Americans how fortunate we are to live
in this republic, as, for instance, when
We read that there is even in France a
law against Insulting foreign SOW
ereigns." We in the United States may
make faces at any potentate under the
sun, even our own president, il we en-
joy that sort Of thing, and nobody cares.
But II we did the same in France we
should lay ourselves liable to q maxi
mum fine of $50 anG imprisonment for
a term of three months to a year. 1t
was q remarkable case under this law
when, recently, the editors of a young
Turk" paper in Paris, the Mechveret,
were hailed before the court for saying
hard things of Abdul Hamid, sultan Of
Turkey. The scene in the court was a
strange one. The sympathy of all pres
ent, the judge himself, was with the
daring, liberty loving young Turks.

law required that al example should be
made of them. The trial drew to the
courtroom some Of the most eloquent
and famous men in France, all there to
speak for the prisoners. Henri Roche
fort sent a letter declaring the s%ultan's
secretary had informed him (Rochefort)
that Emperor William of Germany had
received a bride of $240, 900 from Abdul
Hamid. The offenders were fined So,
with the privilege of being excused
from paying that. The young Turks
were applauded as they left the court

ID HE
 SUPREME COURT. WILL GO A CASE OF SOME
 IMPORTANCE. Constable Philpot Takes an Appeal From the Decision of the
 County Judge.

Saturday papers were filed with the Circuit Clerk by Constable c. M. Philpot appealing from a decision rendered by County Judge W. D. Jones, as to whether or not the county was liable for tue expense of filing witness certificates.
 Constable Philpot takes an appeal to recover $740 paid by him as fees to the county clerk for the filing of "A witness certificates. These certifi- cates were allowed by the County Court, but the court disallowed the expense attached to fling them. Judge Jones bases his ruling on a decision rendered in the case of Prarie county vs Vaughan. This case was an appeal by Pra rie coun- ty from an orderder of Circuit court allowing the claim of Emmet Vaughan for services rendered as clerk.
 The Supreme court held that the county is not liable for services rem dered by the clerk in filing accounts of individuals against the county.
 Since this decision the County Clerk has compelled the constables and others filing claims against the county to pay him his fees for filing such claims, and he does not look to the county for pay.
 This case will be watched with considerable interest by county officials and others. It is brought in q friendly spirit by Mr. Philpot, as he knows that Judge Jones is dis charging his duty as he sees it, and that the judge as well as the consta- ble is anxious to have the ruling of the Supreme Court on the matter.

Sales were made all the way from 98 and 97 for Sep tember in the first few moments and 98 half touched for an instant. Ten minutes after the opening wheat was selling at 97}, September 98, December did not vary much from these figures for some time. The widest excitement was in coarse grain. Corn was up nearly 3 and oats up ?. twas sympathetic, of course, with wheat. There is great short interest in each. Both pits were damned with traders. On the g advance in corn, Counselman and other elevator people sold heavily. Corn yielded on selling by elevator interests, and on the prediction of warm and showery weather for all corn states prices went off ia cent from the top.

 Gents.

Friday night pickpoe CT sneak thief made rich ha4 !. s. Reap's wagon yard, in this His victims were lodgers at tsse wagon yard and were asleep when the thief "went through" their clothes. A man named Touchstone, from Lincoln county, was the heaviest loser. He claimed that he was robbed of S65 in cash. Another man was robbed of $9, another of $2. 50 and another of 65 cents. The names of the remaining victims we are unable to learn.
 The men put up tLeir teams at the wagon yard and also slept there themselves. During the night thief went through their clothes and stole every cent of money which their pockets contained.
 Yesterday the officers arrested two men who gave their names as Vining and Tubbs, who claim to be from Ashley county, on suspicion of being the robbers. These men also stopped at the wagon yard, but just how came them to be suspected of the crime we could not learn.
 Our country friends who come to town should first put up their teams and then either sleep at a reputable hotel or boarding house, or else de- posit their money with some re sponsible person. Then they run slight risk of being robbed.
