0 WHAT A NIGHT.
Mr.. Banks Has an Experience
Which He Will Long Re-
member.

Alex r. Banks was down town today
for the first time in two weeks, but he
came on crutches, still suffering from
injuries sustained three weeks ago in
Missouri.
He was travelling through the forests
of southwest Missouri. driving towards
Buffalo, when darkness overlook him
The team lost the road and brought up
against a tree. 1t was dark as a dungeon
but Mr.. Banks got out of the buggy
and made an effort to find the road He
was cropping around in some brush,
when it suddenly parted and he was
precipitated over a bluff into a stream
of water. In falling his hip struck on a
rock and he was painfully bruised. He
lost his hat in the first fall, but started
to regain the point from which he had
fallen without stopping to look for the
headgear.
Mr. Banks climbed out of the water
twice and finally gained the top Of a
large boulder. but fell, not being able
water again. This time his OVercoat
became so heavy with water that he
was compelled to hang it on a limb and
make another effort to get out. After
getting into the water up to his should
ers again Mr.. Banks succeeded in gain
ing what seemed to be the top of the
small but steep banked bluff over which
he had tumbled at the outset. He
could not find the team and sank to the
ground exhausted and suffering great
pain from his bruises. A pack of
MOUNDS DayeQ somewhere OH IN the
woods, arousing Mr.. Banks who i'm
mediately began calling for help. The
hounds soon surrounded him and kept
up an inceSsant bowling, drowning Mr..
Banks voice, but the hunters, four men,
carrying a lantern, soon appeared.
They Immediately built a. big fire IN
derneath a tree and proceeded to chafe
Mr.. Banks limbs and body. He was
soon revived. Then the four men car
ried him four miles to a cabin where
Missouri restOratiVes We're freely ad-
ministered. He was able to leave the
cabin the following day. going to Buff
falo and later to Lebanon for treat
ment. After a week there he was able
to come home, arriving here last week.
Today he made his first trip down town.

BLOUSE, UNDERGRADUATES
Worn by CollegeG Girls in Show Cause
a Tempest.

Madison, Wis, March 2.-One hundred
handsome young women students of the
state university, dressed in not too gen
erous knickerbockers and navy bIouses,
electrified the flower of the youth of Wis
consin with fancy drills at the university
gymnasium last night.
The performance has been almost the
sole topic of discussion in Madison today.
the preponderance of opinion being that
those in authority went perhaps a little
too far in allowing such exhibition.
On the other hand many, including most
of the young men of the university, say
that the critics are too Puritanical, and
that the costumes worn were not i'm
proper.
This is the first time that the young
women students of the university have
appeared in public in such costumes, and
that fact was widely advertised before
the exhibition 1t was the feature of the
affair and proved a tremendous drawing
power. Every niche in the vast hall was
occupied, and some late corners had to be
turned away. Those who call it an intel
lectual leg show says the dean, woule
object to costumes worn at a. seaside re-
sort. Similar exhibitions, he remarks
are given at other institutions and moth
ing is thought of it.

JOHN Burns FLED.
He Was introduced to One of the La
dies Whom He Had Called
Scented DeliIahs."

London, March "A large committee Of
ladies of title, including the Warehouses
of Tweedda1e and several countesses, has
been taking an active part in the county
council campaign, especially in the poorer
districts of Lambeth and Battersea sub
urbs. They have been laboring in be-
half of the moderates in the Radical
strOngholds, and their action is roughly
resented by the Radical leaders.
Mr.. John Burns has been brutally in
sulting in his comments, and the other
day he went far as to denounce these
representatives of the British aristOcracy
scented Delilahs."
Two days later Lady Denbigh, after a
hard days work at Battersea, went to
tea at the county council lunch rooms
with her husband. Mr.. Burns came in
and sat near the door. Lord Denbigh
crossed the room, tapped the agitatOr on
the shoulder, and took him across the
room. Then to the amusement and de-
light of the councillors present, he said:
ALLOW me to introduce you to one OF
the scented Delilahs.'
Lady Denbigh shook hands heartily with
John. and thanked him for all the nice
remarks he had been making about her
Burns was taken aback, and did not APP
pear to relish the situation. He said the
ladies had been saying things against him,
but Lady Denbigh replied that that was
quite a mistake, as they never descended
to personalities. After a few minutes Of
rather forced conversation, Burns turned
and fed.

BIRDS AND FEATHERS.
Will Men Cease to Marry Women
Who Use Them For AdornmentP

London, March 2-The crusaders against
the users of feathers and birds are terri
bly, in earnest in this country. At the an
nual meeting yesterday a speaker was ap-
plauded for the suggestion that if women
would refuse to take for husbands men
who crunched larks at dinner and men
would decline to mate with women who
bedizened themselves with feathers and
singing birds, the objects of the society
would be attained
Another hoped that the present fashion
of feathers would be brought to the direct
notice of the queen. who, she was sure.
would do all in her power to discourage
it.
The greatest card at the meeting was
a letter from the poet laureate. written
from Italy: THE greatest stigma on the
fair land from which 1 write is the per-
petual harassing and slaughtering of
birds by it's entire population Hence
their groves too often want the browning
sylvan charm of wood notes wild
The report showed that the membership
of the society reached 16, 200.

WORLDS POOR DISTRICT.
Franklin McVeagh Says it is Located
in Chicago.

Chicago, March 2.-Franklfn McVeagh
the well known merchant, who is a stu
dent of sociology and familiar with con-
ditions of the poor in many large cities.
says the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth wards of Chicago form the
poorest district in the world. There is
more congestion, more poverty and less
money to the square inch within the
bounds of these three river wards than in
any other similarly populated territory on
earth. He says:
Most cities have many poverty-stric1en
districts, but in all of them there is a good
surplus of well-to-do people. There is in
the Seventeenth, Eighteenth and Nine
teenth wards little but poverty. All the
great sociological students of the world
pronounce this the most impoverished
center of population anywhere"

Col. Fred Funston late chief of artil-
lery in the Cuban army, who will speak
at Hamilton hall tomorrow night under
the auspices of the Elks. is Of the opin-
ion that the destruction of the Maine
was the result of an accident. In ex-
pressing this opinion Col. Funston said:
4 have no means of information not
open to any other American citizen, but
it is my opinion the destruction of the
battleship Maine was due to an acct
dent.
1T might have been done by a Span
ish officer using the battery connected
with the harbOr torpedo mines. and it
may have been done by some fOOlhardy
Spaniard who attacked a torpedo to the
vessel, but L still cling to the accident
theory and feel certain it will be shown
to be correct when the physical evil
dences of the explosion are brought to
the surface I know the Spaniards are
treacherous, but I am not prepared to
believe they would deliberately destroy
a vessel of the American nation"
Col. Funston will relate some of his
most thrilling adventures while in the
Cuban army tomorrow evening.
