VANDERBlLT'S PERIL.
Young William K. Narrowly
Escapes Drowning.

Newport, R. I, Aug. 26.-Pluck and
luck saved William K. Vanderbilt from
being drowned in Newport harbor, where
his half-rater was caught in a nasty
squaH and went over, tossing young Van
derbilt and his captain into the water.
They managed to right the little boat and
clambered aboard again, but twice after
ward she was capsized. The pair chung
to her and at last managed to reach shore,
greatly exhausted
The alarm was great on shore when the
peril of young Vanderbilt was first seen
by the soldiers from Fort Adams, and none
believed he could come out of the SCuall
alive. Mr.. Vanderbilt, as well as his com
panion, was, pretty well done for, but the
sight of help coming to them enthused
them with new life and they made one
more effort to get the half-rater right
side up. Before the soldiers could reach
them they succeeded in doing this and
got her into the wind and made for New
port
William K. Vanderbilt, Jr, is an under
graduate at Harvard university. During
the summer, with his brother Harold, he
has been at Marble House, Newport.

MIR. STANLEY IN TOWN.
Says He Will Come Close to Garry
ing the Third District.

w. E. Stanley, Republican nominee
for governor, is in Topeka today pre-
pairing for his active entrance into the
campaign. He spent the greater por-
ton of his time in the rooms of the
state central committee.
Mack Love tells me that the fusion
lists will carry Sedgwick county," said
a bystander to Mr.. Stanley.
rs that So" replied the Republican
candidate. Mr.. Love need not give
himself any concern about SedgWick
county. 1t will take care of itself I
will not only carry Sedgwick, but 1 will
also carry Mr. Loves own county,
COwley. 1 have been looking around
in that county to some extent and am
satisfied that I will carry Cowley cOun-
ty. There is a big detection there and
it might be a good plan to look after
things at home.
LAS far as the whole Third district
is concerned continued Mr.. Stanley,
IF do not carry it, 1 won't miss it by
5000 votes. I know that it is a strong
fusion district but I firmly believe that
it will be very close on the state ticket
with the chances in our favor"
Mr.. Stanley said that he had nothing
particular to say. He is feeling Well
and will enter the campaign in excellent
spirits, prepared to make the fight OF
his life.

arrangements to make Saturday, Sep

HIS SKULL SPLINTERED.
a Heavy Iron Weight Falls on a
Mans Head at Canning Factory.

Francis Montague, a young man II
years of age, who recently removed
here from St. Marys, had his skull hor-
rlbly crushed while at work at the To-
peka canning factory yesterday. He
was struck on the top of the head nv
a heavy iron weight falling from a
distance of several feet, and the bone
OF the skull splintered and crushed in
upon the brain
Montague was picked up in an I'M
conscious condition and taken in an
ambulance to the Stormont hospital.
1t was found that small splinters of
Done had been driven into the brain,
and these had to be removed. The de-
pressed bone was raised, and in a short
time after the operation the boy re-
gained consciousness. While it is be-
neVed he will recover, it is feared that
the accident will result in a permanent
injury to his brain

HORSEWHIPPED,
Tarred and Feathered and
Driven From Town.

ST. Louis, Mo, Aug. ga special to
the Post-Dispatch from Carrollton,
Ill, says:
DR.. L. G. Davis has been horsewhip-
ped, tarred and feathered and driven
citizens.
DR.. Davis came to this city about two
years ago as the representative of an
Indianapolis sanitarium. He became
acquainted with Miss Maud Hensler,
the daughter of Mr.. John HensIer, a
we'll known wagon maker and black
smith and respected citizen of this city.
After keeping the girls company near
~ a year, they disappeared, and on re-
turning reported themselves married.
They took up their residence in Alton,
where a child was born.
Mr.. Hensler on making investigation
discovered that they had not been mar
ried. He went to Alton and had Davis
arrested and compelled him to marry
his daughter. Since then Hensler
claims, Davis has been extorting money
from him by threatening to take his
life.
Davis raised a disturbance HensIer
had him arrested and locked up in the
county Jail On signing an agreement
to leave the city, Hensler declined to
prosecute him and he was released. In
stead of leaving he returned to the
Hensler residence last night, and being
afraid of him, Hensler had him again
arrested and locked up in the city
prison.
Shortly after midnight last night a
mob, supposed to have been led by
friends, broke into Jail and took Davis
out. He was taken to Hensler's shop,
where another party beat Davis with
whips and tarred and feathered him.
His life was spared on the promise that
he would leave the city.

LARIMER GETS OUT.
Secretary of the State Republican
League Resigns While There's Time


League Resigns While There's Time.
James Larimer of this city has re-
signed the office of secretary of the Re
publican State league. F. P. Lindsay,
president of the league, has announced
that NJ. NJ. Lee, editor of the St. Marys
Eagle will be appointed to succeed him.
Mr.. Larimer did not resign because
rush of legal business made it i'm
possible for him to attend to the duties
of the position. Neither did he resign
because the duties of the position were
of such an arduOus nature as to under
mine his health. He resigned because
his experience as secretary of the or
ganizatiOn has been a bitter one finan-
cialIy, and as the league is just at this
time out of debt he took the oppOrtuni-
ty to leave it before it again became
necessary for him to expend personal
funds for it's success.
The Republican State league has been
a failure and it is now little better than
an excuse for an organization. While
Larimer was secretary there was not
enough money collected in dues to pay
the incidental expenses connected with
it, and he was forced to go into his own
pocket for this purpose. The league
has languished ever since Cyrus Leland
advised it to go out of existence.
