ESCAPED A TERRIBLE DEATH.
Encounter with Bull-Men Ran, but
the Bull Laughed.

What might have been terrible il not
fatal accident, relates the veracious writer
in the Bar Harbor Record, happened to
one OF our distinguished townsmen dis
tingushed for his unquestioned veracity),
T. F. Moran, and his friend Col. II. f.
Hamlin, OF Ellsworth, Sunday afternoon.
The two gentlemen above named are al
ways alive to a real estate deal, and they
drove from Ellsworth down the side of
the bay to look after piece OF property
which was in the market.
To reach this property it was necessary
to cross pasture, so they stabbed their
horse and climbed the fence. Cows were
grazing quietly here and there, but they
only drew passing glance from the men
engaged in earnest conversation.
When about half way across the pas
ture they were confronted with a sight to
make the bravest among US Except Law
yer Bunker) quail
Neither OF these is a coward. Either
would bravely face a cannon. But when
an angry, roaring bull suddenly fixed his
ferocious eyes upon them they did not
stop to argue the situation with him, but
fed precipitately.
The fence was a long way off, They did
not look behind them but steadfastly be-
fore. They heard his angry hoofs beat In
quick pursuit. They felt his hot breath
close upon them. Faster and faster they
fed across the stubby pasture, painting
and putting from the unusual exercise.
Mr.. Moran, who would see sonnet hing
ridiculous In funeral procession, could
not refrain from taking mental notes, for
the subsequent entertainment OF their
friends, providing they got out OF this
scrape alive, OF Mr.. Hamlin's originality
OF gait. He had sprinted far ahead in
the race.
The fence was reached at last and safe
on the other side the two fatigued and
heated victims of his bullship's ire turned
to face their pursurer.
Lo, and behold! There he stood where
they first saw himi
The bull had not stirred.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PREVENTED THE
OUTDOOR EXERCIsEs-sER Ry
REV. w. X. HUNT-ORATION
BY A. W. KING, ESQ.

Ellsworth's Memorial Day observances
began on Sunday evening with union
services in Hancock hall.
The weather, for the first time for a
week, had been delightful all throug h
the day; and the hall was filled to the
doors by the audience.
The exercises opened with singing by a
large choir, composed OF memb ers OF the
various church chors OF the city. PRAYER
was offered by Rev. f. l.. Hunt, pastor of
the Falls Congregational church. Rev.
I. ). McLearn, OF the Baptist church,
read scripture selections.
The memorial sermon was delivered by
Rev. w. r. Hunt, who chose for his sub
ject 1.-The Sacredness OF the Present ::
the Lesson OF the Past" The speakers
eloquent discourse held the closest at
tention OF the large audience to the close.
Singing followed the sermon. The sing
ing OF America" by choir and audience,
and the benediction, pronounced by Rev
{. +. Woodcock, OF the Free Baptist
church, closed the evenings exercises.
VIM. II. II. Rice post, G.. A. r., and the
relief corps occupied the seats Of
honor on the floor OF the house.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES.

Sundays beautiful weather raised hig
this year as Memorial Day, would also be
suitable for the successful observance OF
the day held so dear by the patriotic
American. But all were deceived
The rain had only ceased temporarily
and on Monday morning the streets were
as muddy as they have been at any time
in the week past, while showers con-
tinued throughout the day.
The exercises which VIM. II. II. Rice
post had planned to hold at the soldiers
monument were necessarily dispensed
with. But excepting the fact that the
disagreeable weather prevented many
from being at Hancock hall, the exercises
here We're as successful as one could WISH
and there was fairly large audience.
At . o'clock in the afternoon Mona
ghan's band, after giving a short concert
in front OF the hall, marched down Main
street to post-otiice square, and met the
members OF the local post OF grand army
veterans under he command otCol. John
f. Whitcomb. The line of march was
quickly formed, and in double file the old
comrades once more obeyed the familiar
command :" Forward! March,"
AT HANCOCK HALL.
A crowd followed the little company
into Hancock hall to listen to the exsr-
cses.
Col. Whitcomb presided at the hall.
The exercises opened with a selection by
the band. A choir, composed of the
several church choir- OF the city, rem
dered an appropriate selection. Prayer
was offered 10y Rev. /. II. w. VII arf, OF
the Methodist church. The choir sang
another selection.
Col. Whitcomb then made brief but
graceful speech, introducing A. W. King
As the orator OF the day.
Mr.. Kings Grafton was brilliant and
scholarly production, and was delivered
in the speakers we'll known masterful
style. The universal opinion is that the
address WAS one OF the best, il not the
best, Memorial Day address ever listened
to i'll Ellsworth.
Not only the post, but also citizens
generally, are loud in their demands that
the address appear in print, and il Mr..
King can be persuaded to permit it, it
will appear in full in these columns next
week.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Harry Alexander Has the Palm
of His Hand Torn Off
in Machinery.

Harry Alexander had his right hand
horribly torn by a rotary machine at
the Inter-O Ocean mills in North Topeka
yesterday afternoon and came near
bleeding to death as a result. When he
secured the services of a physician he
was faint from loss of blood.
Alexander lives at 625 Western ave
nue. and is well known about town.
While cleaning a strap attached to a
rotary machine at the Inter-Ocean mill
about o'clock yesterday, his hand was
caught by the machine and the entire
palm literally torn out The main ar
terry of the hand was severed,
and blood spurted out from the broken
blood vessel in a stream.
Neither the injured man or anyone
in the mill at the time of the accident
had the presence of mind to stop the
flow of blood by twisting a handker-
chief or cloth around the arm, and
merely throwing a hour sack loosely
about the hand, Alexander ran out of
the mill and started for Kansas avenue
to find a hack.
Down Kansas avenue he ran with the
blood soaking through the loose cloth
and dropping to the sidewalk, as far as
the fire station, in quest of a carriage,
but finding none, there jumped into an
express wagon and ordered the driver
to go as fast as possible to Dr. Mum q
office, on this side of the river.
The driver whipped up his horses and
started south on Kansas avenue with
all possible speed. Under the instruc-
ton OI <AlGActIlNlEI. lIlC SptG0 was llOL
checked at the bridge, and the wagon
started across the structure at a pace
that made the timbers and iron railings
creak.
But the flight of the improvised am
bulance was cut short before it had
progressed far on the bridge by a pO-
Hceman jumping in front of the team
ana waving his club at the driver
Without asking the cause of the hurry.
the officer administered a reprimand to
the owner of the wagon, and although
both the driver and Alexander standing
in the wagon and waving his injured
hand covered with the blood soaked
cloth and the blood dripping to the
floor of the wagon, tried to explain, it
was several minutes before the police
man was made to understand the Sit
uatiOn.
When Alexander finally reached DR..
Munn's office,poOIs of blood were stand
ing on the floor of the express wagon
and he was so weak that he had to be
assisted up stairs.
Although the hand was horribly torn
it can probably be saved.

eastman had concluded. DR.. Alkire

Eastman had concluded. DR.. AIkire
said:
Il am one who believes that sugges-
ton or psychic healing should enter in
to our treatment of disease. I think
we should mix our suggestions with our
medicine. BY that I mean that [ think
we should not only offer suggestions,
but give medicine at the same time as
well, no matter how harmless, to salts
fy the patient"
Dr. Magee-In the majority of cases
you tell patient just what symptoms
to expect after the administration of
medicine, and you will get just such
symptoms. I have seen patients re
HeVed Of intense pain by a hypOdermic
injection of water, they thinking that
the injection was of morphine. There is
certainly some influence which passes
from the mind and affects all the func-
tionS of the body.
DR.. Minney-I think we should use
suggestive treatment to a great extent
in our treatment of disease. That we
don't use it enough at the present day,
I am persuaded. 1 say to get the con-
tient to believe explicitly in what you
say, is half the battle. If you can't get
the confidence of your patient, you
might as well give up the case.
DR.. POWELL am of a different Opin-
ion from the majority of the gentle
men who have expressed themselves
this evening. think that we have car
ried this suggestive treatment too far,
are real pathological conditions. I be-
Heve in absolute candor to patients,
and believe that is the way we obtain
the best results. I think young mem
bers of the profession are too ready to
diagnose cases as mental arrangement
when careful examination would deter
mine real diseases.
DR.. McVey-I think suggestive treat
ment depends on the intelligence of the
patient. If a patient thoroughly under
stands his case anything in the line of
suggestive treatment will do no good.
Here DR.. McClintock took a hand in
the discussion, and following the sub
sequent remarks of DR. Minney, the
academy consented by it's silence to
the theory advanced by the latter ply
Sician, that the members didn't know
just what they were talking about. In
other words, while nearly all of them
believed in suggestive treatment of
patients. few of them had given the
subject the study it deserves.

Greenbacker.

London, Oct 12.-The Daily Chronicle
publishes this morning an interview
which its New York correspondent has
had with Henry George in the course of
which Mr.. George is represented as
saying:
Il refused to be a candidate until the
Democratic nomination showed that it
was to be perpetuation of Crokerism.
Then consented solely as a matter of
duty.
I am a Democrat in the fullest sense
of the word; am an absolutely free
trader because protection is incOmpati-
bic with a genuine republic, and want
to see the government return to first
principles.
I am in favor of scrupu1ously pre-
serving the rights of property. My
followers support me simply as an eX-
preston of their dissatisfaction with
the existing condition of things. The
BryaniteS support me, not on account
of silver, but because Mr.. Bryan has
advocated a return to first principles.
l am no more an advocate of silver
than of gold. Both are relics of bar
bariSm. I am a greenbacker.
I do not believe in government issu-
ing unlimited money. Money should
be issued on the credit of government
which is all that is necessary to assure
safety and stability.
Il believe 1 shall be elected but de-
feat would not cause me a single pang.
In that event 1 shall return to my liter
ary work.

sCOURSING' ON THE AVENUE
A Jack Rabbits Wild Adventure on
Topeka,s Main Street.

Years ago the jack rabbit used to wan
der the streets of Topeka, before they were
paved, and before he ran the risk of death
at the hands OF trolley car motorman,
bat not since the days when the editor
of the Kansas Freeman used to shoot
Jacks on his way to the office just to
keep himself in practice for visitors have
the residents of Topeka witnessed such a
sight as was seen at noon today. A jack
rabbit that had been taking a Rip Van
WinlSle sleep since Chief Burnett and his
tribe made way for the white man, was
awakened from his sleep by the calliope
whistle at exactly u o'clock. He came
from his hole on a hill east of Topeka
and hoped along up Eighth street. He
was surprised to see the houses that had
sprung up since he left. the scenes of his
childhood and the nearer he got to the
center of business the more surprised he
became. Mr. Jack was no more sur
prised than were the hundreds of people
who him. Everybody stood and
The rabbit was rudely awakened by a
dog who spied him from across the street
and signalled his coming by a yelp:
The jack rabbit turned south on Kansas
avenue and commenced to get under way
He struck out with a long, even bounce
and at every bound was going faster and
citement he created and by the time he
was half way to Ninth street half a dozen
had Joined in the pursuit. 1t was race
for life. At Ninth street the pursuers
numbered half hundred and the noise OF
the chase attracted the business men,
who ran to their doors in time to see the
jack rabbit go by, which by this time was
under full headWay and was going end
over end. Some people thought it was
the forerunner of cyclone and took to
their cellars. When the end of the pave
ment was reached the 1Ong-legged courier
of the plains was at his best and he took
to the dusty road with a renewed Vigor.
and the last that could be seen OF nun hlm
was when the Shunganunga was reached.
He cleared the mighty stream with a
bound and before he lit on the other side
he gave Topeka one long farewell look

grass to the stairway leading to Com
pany DIS headquarters the prisoner was
hauled
He bent his head forward to escape
punishment as he was dragged up the
steps A drop of blood from his hands
fell on the lowest step
When he was at the top it was found
that Lieut. Col. cambridge had left the
room usually used for the summary
court and had gone to headquarters.
Hammond was dragged down the steps
again, along the walk, under the wa
ter tower, up more steps, and finally
into the adjutant's office.
The bruised and battered man was
left lying in front of cambridge, who
ordered the rope to be taken off Then
the four soldiers left the room, glad to
be rid of their terrible task.
Hammond was given a hearing on the
charge Of refusing to go to work.
Col. Hall did not press the other
charge of refusing to appear at the
summary court, as Hammond would ap-
pear anyway, even though he had to
be dragged by the feet
