Ono Was For Liberty and the Other Was
For q Life.
''In passing by the criminal court
building the other day." said Luther
Latin Mills, 81 recalled, among my
memories somehow connected with it.
that of remarkable leap for liberty
''About 10 years ago prosecuted a
young fellow for the crime of burglary,
He was convicted and sentenced to pris-
ON for term of six years. After SEN
tence, as he was being conveyed by q
deputy sheriff from the courtroom to
the Jail, across the passage connecting
the two buildings, which have often
regarded as Bridge Of Signs, the
young burglar suddenly sprang over the
low hand railing, which was then the
only protection Of the bridge, landed on
his feet 40 feet below, and, recovering
himself, made bold dash for liberty
He started on run north on Dearborn
avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and
policemen, and was finally recaptured
in barn not far from Lincoln park
When they brought him back, his face
flushed, mis- eyes flashing, his shirt col
lar thrown open, he looked like young
hero of romance. A few days later he
was taken to states prison, where he
served his term.
Passing over the Clark street bridge
there required to me the memory of ar
other leap-one for life One evening
about five years ago on approaching that
bridge l found it open and crowd II
about /, 500 men and women in a state
of excitement. A policeman informed
me that woman had fallen into the
river. what's being done to save her2
I demanded. Before the officer had 8
chance to reply a young fellow, rushed
through the crowd, threw off his coat
and vest, put his hands together and
shot into the water. He caught the
woman as she was going down the third
time, struck out for the shore, and both
he and she were landed in safety.
81 heard man say to the rescuer,
- What's your namep' 4 have no name
in which the public is interested, he
replied. But you're hero, urged the
man, and your name deserves to be
made known The young man shook
his head and peremptorily refused to di-
yulge his name. I happened to get a
good look at the fellow, and there came
to me sudden flash of recognition. He
was the same one who had made the
leap for liberty from the Bridge of Signs.
= Things went better with the young
fellow after that, continued Mr.. Mills.
HE got on and prospered and is nua
we'll to do commercial traveller. -

4 warmth q gold, all summer stored.
The goldenrod gives up.
And filed from springtime's scantier hoard
Shines the sweet buttercup.
And from the singing Of the breeze
And low, sweet sound Of rain,
The little brook learns melodies
To sing them back again
Forgotten all the cloudy sky
OF dark days overcast;
For flower hearts let gloom 60 by,
But hold the sunshine fast.
And all year long the little burn,
Though wintry boughs be wet,
Picks out the happy days to learn
The sad ones to forget.

The Decay of Animal Matter.

A great many proofs now more or less familiar to most people show quite clearly that the decay of animal or veg etable matter is not simple chemical change, inevitable in the nature of things, but violent interference with the natural course on the part of hos tile organisms. The bacteria which produce decomposition are very minute plants, which grow, like mushrooms or molds, upon organic matter, and which reproduce their like with incredible ra- pidity.
 Tyndall showed long ago that the spores of these plants exist in myriads ill the air, floating everywhere around us; that they occupy all crannies and empty places on the surface of the earth, and that they swarm in their millions in all ponds and puddles. An easy way of proving that these spores alone and the plant colonies which spring from them are the cause of putrefaction may be obtained by boiling beef tea in test tube, so as to kill the bacteria, and then. while the liquid is still steaming, closing up the mouth of the, tube with a plug of cotton wool, which admits the air but strains out the germs of the pu- trefactiye organisms. Under these con- ditions the beef tea will keep good for years, but if you remove the plug it will begin at once to putrefy. Allen in LOngman's

Senator Foraker was not here, but 1t Is known that he supported Governor Bushnell and Chair man Kurtz as strongly as possible by wire. 1t has been the custom for the head of the state ticket in Ohio to name the chairman of the executive commit tee, but Senator Hanna had the con vention in hand, and he would not per feet the party organization according to precedent.

JURY DISAGREED.
Ten For Conviction and Two For Acquit-
 tai Tn Tobacco Trust Case.


 New York, June 30.-After listening to testimony and arguments for two weeks and after being locked up for 21 hours the jury selected to pass upon the guilt or innocence of officials of the American Tobacco company on an in- dictment charging them with conspra- cy in restraint of trade disagreed and have been discharged.
 But for the Illness of Louis Binsse. juror, Judge Fitzgerald said the jury would have been kept out longer in the hope that 1t would reach an agreement From all that can be learned the Illness of one of the jurors did not affect the result of their deliberations, as Foster Milligan and Hobart Fash had con vinced the others that their determina- ton to vote mot guilty" could not be shaken.
 The jurors took 70 ballots The first was eight to four for conviction. One of the four who favored acquittal was won over to the majority, and another followed. Thereafter there was no change.
 District Attorney Olcott regards the outcome of the case so far as a prac- tical victory~against the trust. He is greatly elated over the vote of the juryroom. and If 1t were not for the fact that all bail cases had gone over until the fall term he would have nov ed for retrial next Monday.

ROBBED AT DEADWOOD.
Masked Men Hold Up Bank and Tax,
 All the Cash In Sight.

Deadwood, S. D., June 29.-Four masked men have robbed the Butte County bank at Bellefourche. Entering the bank with revolvers drawn, they or dered the customers present and bank officials to hold up their hands. A lit- tie hesitation on the part of Cashier Marble drew a shot from the gun of one of the robbers which clipped off a large portion of the cashiers right ear and forced compliance with the de- mand. The safe and counters were re- lieved of the cash they contained, and the robbers, mounting their horses, which had been conveniently stationed, rode away.
 An alarm was immediately given, and in a few minutes a we'll mounted and armed posse was in pursuit of the rob bers. A few miles from town the posse came up with the fugitives. and a run ming fight ensued, which resulted In one of the robbers surrendering. The others, being better mounted, continued their flight, but are being closely pursued and have very few chances of escape.
 The day was favorable for a raid on the bank. as the weather was such that it kept the townspeople off the street and the robbers, having little opposi- tion, had quite a start before the alarm could be given.
