The Word Socialism.

The word"Socia lism us a terrible
bugbear to many well-meaning peo-
pie. There lie no word In the Eng
lish language that has been const-
fued to meap more than Socialism.
Writers and speakers, in the interest
OF capitalism; have used their best
efforts to make Socialism odious,
and many people actually believe
that Socialism is ow-lived, vile and
foolish and that Socialists are com
posed OF red handed muderers, dyn-
amiters and bomb .throwers.
My friend, don't let yourself be
scared with the cry Socialism. 1t
will not hurt any one but thieves
and despots. Socialism is simply APP

An Awful Catastrophe,

A sad story comes from Hillsboro,
South Dakota, concerning painful
accident which hefel Miss Gertrude

on the Humptulips, where she had
charge OF a school of indiana. She
was the second daughter Of old
Smerecase Van Bloke, who was one
of the pioneers Of New Squidtpwn.
Wahkiakum County; and she also
lived for some years in Skamakowa.
Miss Van Bloke went East to wed
a gentleman with whom che bad
been in correspondence, but upon
her ARRIVAL in South Dakota dis
covered that hs already had two
wives living, and SO declined TO be
a candidate for the one third of his
affections which he maintained had
not been pre7empted. Nothing has
ceen heard of her SINCE she went
away, and the following narrowing
story from the Hillsboro Ne~s will
be read with interest by her many
friends in these partsi
San awfnl catastrophe befel Miss
Gertrude Van Bloke of Litchfeld
last Sunday morning, She was curl
ing her hair for church, when she
accidentally drnpped the curlingz
iron down hey neck. We don't mean
down her neck, exactly; it was more
down her back. and yet that expires
sion isn't correct. She dropped it
down between her clothing and the
frog OF her back, and it went sig
cling and frying down. down, down
until 1t was beyond her reach.
The scene which followed was
awful Gertrude jumped ny and
down like a Comanche Indian at
snake-dance, and hnllered 'FireI
Firel Ouch HellinaminutA! Police!
Murder! Jemently! Vow.vow vow!l'
using many, EXPRESSIONS that seemed
to indicate that she was in pain. In
the meantime the house was filled
with the door Of baked back bone and
fried tenderloin.
"Her parents came rushing into
the room and found Gertrude exc
cutting the cooniine, and thought
her crazy, Thu old man dashed
pitcher of water on her, the mother
threw guilt over her to put the fire
ont. But the curling iron was still
getting in its work and burning its
way to her left kidney. Gertrude
tried To tell them what was the mat
ter, but she could only gasp:
"You dodblasted old idiots, take
it outl take it outr'
"But her frightened and puzzled
parents didn't know what she
meant, and, thinking her violently
lntane, got rope and tied her. The
eurling-iron then turned over and
baked the skin from the yertehrae
and commenced TO cook her floating
ribs. She kicked and squal,ed like
camp meeting of cats, and the neigh
bors came running in.
Finally she managed to tell what
was the matter, and her mother cut
her corset open with a case.knife
and the curling iron fell out, cover
ed with cuticle and smelling like
hog-killsng time and fried craoklins.
Since then, Gertie wears her lumbar !
region done up in linseed- oil poul /
tees and sleeps on her frontisniece. |
The doctor saws her back looks like
the pattern of n crazv-quilt or the
map Of China after q revolution. He
says she had very narrow escape.

INTERESTING SUIT.
Mr.. Arthur L. Jersey Asks Damages
Of Maine Central.

A Conductor is Alleged to Have Refused
to Accept a Mileage Ticket-Mr. Her
sey's Arrest
An interesting suit has been begun by
Mr.. Arthur L. Hersey of this city, against
the Maine Central railroad. Mr.. Hersey,
who is the son of S. B. Hersev, we'll
known formerly as member of.the firm
of Woodman, True & Co.. has been en-
gagged in numbering operations in Frank
lin county On the twelfth of last August
he started to come from Pennington to
Portland on the Maine Central railroad.
He alleges that he offered mileage book
for his fare from Pennington to Lewis
ton, and that Conductor Hartshorn tore
off the required number of slips for the
mileage. After leaving Lewiston he
offered for the remainder of his fare
ticket from Lewiston to Portland which
had been limited, and on which the limit
had expired. This Conductor Hartshorn
refused to receive. Mr.. Hersey alleges
that then he offered his mileage book
again; but that the conductor instead of
taking off the mileage, kept the book and
demanded cash fares. The conductor did
this because Reclaimed that the book did
not belong to Mr.. Hersey. The latter re-
fused to pay his fare and demanded back
his book. On the road to Portland there
was considerable pickering between the
two, the conductor demanding fare and
Mr.. Hersey refused. The conductor also
demanded that Mr.. Hersey sign his name.
the design being to test his ownership of
the mileage. Mr.. Hersey refused, de-
manding that he be shown the condition
on the mileage which required him to
sign his name. 1t is understood that
there is such condition, but it is not
plain that the conductor showed it to Mr..
Hersey.
Arriving in Portland, both Mr.. Hersey
and the conductor sought a policeman.
The conductor seems to have been most
successful in mis- appeal. for Mr.. Hersey
was arrested for evading fare; put into
the patrol wagon, and hauled through
the streets as prisoner to the police
station.
When they arrived at the station, how
ever, Deputy Marshal Sterling declined to
hold Mr.. Hersey without warrant. 1t
is alleged that thereupon the conductor
took the fare off the mileage and returned
it. Al
Mr.. Hersey now asks five thousand
dollars damages for illegal arrest and for
the treatment which he alleges he re-
ceived on the train. He has retained ex-
County Attorney True as his counsel.
The Portland daily press., 1897-09-04

already made up your mind to take the
sail advertised for Sunday. afternoon on
the favorite steamer Pilgrim, we would
advise everybody to go because the ex-
cursion will give all the opportunity..to
see more Of the beautiful islands that dot
our bay than any other trip along the
coast. These gems of the ocean are all
worth seeing; no two of them alike, some
covered with trees, others have no vege-
tation on them, nothing but bare lodges,
and they all make beautiful pictures.
There will be excellent music on board
and you can sit and watch the scenery,
listen to the sweet strains of the band
and dream the happy hours away. The
Pilgrim will leave Custom House wharf
at 2.15, calling at Peaks island for pas
sengers for the excursion and leave them
there on the return.
