that Ellerbe had assured him that
McLaurin was for Evans, and,
moreover, he had consulted with
him as one of his political friends.
At Edgefeld, when twitted, Nc
Laurin said that he had tried to
help Evans out of a hole, and
yesterday he had said that he had
voted against him, which was all
a complete surplise to him.
After speaking of political
friendship Gov. Evans went to
the tariff and free raw material
question, which he vigorously
argued, and when talking about
the wool schedule, he said that
God would have to keep the people
warm with the eternal sun if that
son were returned to the senate,
which excited much laughter and
applause. He said that Tillman's
hide would not cover the republican
body of McLaurin. He read from
Bryan's free raw material speech
and said that he would hate
nightly to get out Of the race, for
he had McLaurin beaten, but he
would make the same proposition
on free raw material-thas if it
was not good democracy, he would
withdraw from the race. He said
that the only thing that McLaurin
had ever done was to put more
taxes on the peoples back. After
his hour had expired, he asked
for q little more time III which
to expose McLaurin's tariff views
and at the close of his speech there
was applause. He was told to 90
on by the crowd, but was quite
exhausted.

wrists, pulled her back into the apartment.
Not until she was again in her own room
did she realize what had happened.
An amusing incident of her experience
was the first and only time she gave an
exhibition of dancing on the street. That
evening she walked clear to Arapahoe
street, between Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth Standing neGr a corner, TO the
amazement of several children and two or
three pedestrians who happened to ap-
proach and see her, she began series of
movements very like the double shuttle
of a negro minstrel. No officer CHANGED
to be near, and no one interfercd. The
movements of her feet and limbs grew
more and more rapid, while her body
swayed from side to side, after the
fashion of the Nautch girl. Then, fiinging
her arms above her head, she danced
wildly and continued this at intervals
without attempting to leave the corner,
until paUrolman on his beat took her by
the arm and walked her toward the sta

Of these trips she apparently imagined
herself lineman, for she essayed climb
ing a telegraph pole, and succeeded in
making her way well toward the top be-
fore she was discovered She was rest
ing in this fashion near the top of the
pole, when a policeman happened TO see
her. Here was a qUandary. If tnyone
shouted TO her, she might awake and fall
to the ground. The officer could not climb
the pole, SO finally a ladder was procured
from q neighboring fire-engine-house and
placed against the pole a stalwart fire
man mounted it, and a moment later had
Miss Rossman in his arms. Strangely
enough, she awakened almost instantly
and in a terrible fright. She was taken
home. and, though Frustrated by the shock
for several days, suffered no permanent
illness.
Miss Rossman is dsinclined to discuss
the strange events that have surrounded
the last few years of her life, butin order
to make entirely clear the state of her
mine at present, and how she looks upon
the events that have occurred, has writ

1t is written in pencil on a piece OF yell

OF course, as soon as it fell into the hands
of Frank W. Mack, who was stationed at

hot with it.

Mrs Grant came into the room, and said
to her:

over and sat down in front of the fire
again putting his hands up in his medita-

New Use for the Wheel,

A rather curious case occurred in Dublin
not long ago. 1t appears that a lunatic es-
capped from an asylum and, having armed
himself with revolver, began some pretty
close firing in the busiest thoroughfare Of
the town. A policeman who attempted to
disarm the patient was seriously wounded,
after which the insane man took to flight.
An inspector and constable went in pur-
suit, but seemed to have little chance for
success. At that instant a young bicyclist
appeared on the scene, took in the situation
at glance, and, bending his body over the
handle-bars. rode straight for the fugitive
with all his might. The collision was
terrific one, but, strangely enough, the poor
lunatic was almost unhurt while the youth
was picked up in an unconscious condition
and the wheel was a wreck. The method
of capturing. the unfortunate patient was
undeniabiy severe one, but it no doubt
saved many people from theindiscriminate
use Of the revolver. Chicago News
