BEST TIME TO KICK A MAN.
First Save His Life and Then You
May Apply Your Boot
with Impunity.

Perk and Quirk were walking along the
crowded street, feeling very kindly toward
themselves and the rest of humanity. Just
as they reached the middle of a crossing
one of those aggravating individuals who
walk one way and look another stepped di-
1ectly in front of cable car which was
rounding the corner. Of course the ca" had
no fender on it. Nearly everybody in the
vicinity yelled, and naturally the bewil-
dered man looked in the wrong direction.
Quirk didn't yell, though. He jumped to
the side of the track and grabbed the man
by the collar and yanked him clear of the
tracks and almost out of his shoes. Then
he gave him another ferocious jerk to get
him out of the way of an express wagon,
and, getting him at proper range at the same
time, he gave the poor man kick that must
have driven his spine up into his hat. And
with the kick Quirk reared:
"Confound you, keep your eyes open when
you are on the street,"
Quirk looked unutterably savage, but Perk
tottered to the curb, sat down and laughed
until the tears came. Then he said:
"You are the only big enough idiot on
earth to save mans life and then kick
him for it."-Chicago Times-Herald.

DESPERATE CONVICTS.
Two Men Try GO Escape from Ohio
Penitentiary-They Kill Guard,
and Are Both Wounded.

Columbus, O., Nov. 10. = There was a
desperate attempt made by two con-
victs to escape from the penitentiary
about eight o'clock in the morning, as
result of which Guard Charles d. Lau-
terbach, of Mount Vernon, was shot
and killed, while Convicts O'Neil and
Atkinson received injuries of serious
nature, and both are now in the prison
hospital.
By some means Convicts O'Neil and
Atkinson, who are serving Is years for
robbery, obtained possession of re-
volver and proceeded to carry out a
bold plan to escape. One covered his
face with handkerchief and went into
the broom shop where he held up Guard
Lime and took his revolver. He then
returned to the hoe shop, where the
other man Joined him, and they opened
fire upon Guard Lauterbach, who was in
charge of that department.
The guard was shot three times and
almost instantly killed. The sound of
the shooting reached the other Off
run to investigate. Guard Gump was
the first on the scene, and, taking in the
situation at a glance, opened fire on the
two prisoners. This was returned, and
regular battle was in progress until
the revolvers of all the participants
were emptied.
In the fray Convict Atkinson was
shot down and seriously injured and,
as soon as the guns were emptied, Guard
Gump rushed in with his cane and al
most beat O'Neil to death before the
prisoner would surrender. The men
were taken to the hospital, where their
injuries were attended to. Atkinson
was shot in the body, but is not thought
to be seriously hurt, but O'Neil was so
beaten about the head that his injuries
may result fatally.
The other prisoners in the shop
where the shooting occurred took no
part in the affair, but it is understood
that they stood ready to follow if the
efforts of the two leaders proved sue
cessful. Previous to making the out
break one of the two prisoners forced
a third man to place ladder against
the outside of the penitentiary wall, so
that when they had fought their way
out of the shops they could shoot down
the wall guard and make their escape
by that route.
Frank O'Neil and John Atkinson are
serving their third terms. Atkinson
says that O'Neil received two guns on
the 4th of July, when visitors were
allowed in the prison. They were hid
den by Atkinson, the two men decid-
ing to wait for fall before trying to es.
cape.
They had been waiting for three
weeks for an opportunity.
Atkinson was shot twice in the right
arm and O'Neil has two severe scalp
wounds. Neither is fatally hurt.

KELLEY IS DEAD.
The inventor of the Famous Motor
Passes Away in Philadelphia
Ills Career.

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-John w. Kee-
ley, the inventor of the Kelley motor,
died Friday at his home in this city from
pneumonia. He was taken i'll on Sat-
urday last and continued to grow
steadily worse until his death. Mr..
Kelley was 81 years of age and leaves a
widow.
Mr.. Kelley was a native of Philadel-
phia. His education was meager and at
an early age he became a carpenter, fol-
lowing that trade until 1872. 1t was in
that year that he announced his discovery
of a new force by which motive power
would be revolutionized. Following this he
constructed what has become known as the
Kelley motor. On November TO- 1874, he
gave it's first public exhibition before a
number Of capitalists and scientists who
advanced 100000 to enable him to perfect
his discovery and apply the principle

expended on exp eriments without any
practical public results. Between 1874 and
1891, Kelley constructed and discarded 129
different models. In his first model he
employed water as a generator but later
the experiments were made with what he
called a ''liberator," machine equipped
with a large number Of tuning forks
which, he claimed, disintegrated the air
and released a powerful etheric force. In
1888 he was for time confined in jail for
contempt of court for refusing to disclose
the secret by which he produced many re-
markable effects in the presence of ex-
perts, but until his death the secret was
known only to himself Among those in
terested In his scientific efforts was Mrs
Bloomfield Moore, the well-known society
woman, who advanced sums of money to
Kelley for the purpose of his invention.]

Can Refuse Drinks.

The supreme court decides that sa-
looms do not come within the jurisdic-
ton of the civil rights law, and saloon
keepers can refuse to serve colored
men with Intoxicating drinks. This
action was brought under the civil
rights law. The plaintiff, Rohne, is a
colored man, residing at Duluth, and
at the invitation of white man, went
into the saloon of the defendant,
LOOMS, and the white man ordered
that both be served with beer. The
saloonkeeper refused to furnish beer
to the colored man, SO the suit was
brought. The defense set up that I'M
der the state law saloons are exempt
from the operation of the civil rights
bill, and are not obliged to serve col
ored people. The plaintiff claimed
that the general law regulating hotels,
restaurants, ''or other places of re
freshment," does apply to and include
saloons,

Killed by a Careless Shot.

A shocking tragedy occurred at
Woods, seven miles north of Duluth,
when Vespasian Smith, IS years old,
son of Frank B. Smith, well known
druggist, was shot through the head
and instantly killed by unknown men.
Smith and Philip Hamp were out par
fridge hunting, and they spent the
night on a bed of boughs in the woods.
About 3 o'clock in the morning Hamp
was aroused by shot and saw two
men running. Smith did not stir, and
Hamp found that he was dead, though
Hamp ran two miles for doctor and
ambulance. 1t is supposed that the
men fired at the reflection of their
headlights on Smiths glasses, or at the
eyes OF his dog, which was lying near.

Ditching Is Finished.


The contract let by the State Drain
the Middle river ditch in Marshall
county expired. The commission at
its last meeting set Nov. 10 as the date
when the work should be completed,
and letter from the contractor to Sec
rotary Lomen states that the work has
been executed according to agreement.
The completion of this ditch exhausts
the last appropriation of 1000 made
by the legislature of 1895 for state
bitches in the Red river valley, and
winds up the work of the commission
extending over a period of five years.
All told, the state has expended $3.50,
600 for drainage in the Red river val
ley. The Great Northern railway,
however, assisted in this work, and
$25, 900 of this amount was contributed
by the railroad company, and expend-
ed under the supervision of the state
commission.
AS a result of this large expenditure
the state has secured excellent system
of drainage in the valley, which has
been worth to the farmers many times
its cost. The bitches cover an area of
III miles and benifit the following
counties tributary to the Red River of
of the North: Kittson, Marshall, Polk,
Norman, Clay, Wilkin, Traverse and
Grant.
The IS bitches completed by the COM
mission average in length about eight
miles, the longest being the Sand Hill
ditch, in Polk county, which is Is and
one-half miles in length.

Bread on the Waters.

VIM. Fl. Pankake, of Maine Prairie,
did a kindly act last spring and it now
rises up to bless him. Theodore Pau
men, bachelor 4S years old, and in
very poor health, cams to his house,
and Mr.. Pankake took him and cared
for him. It did not appear probable
that he would be very literally recon-
pensed, but he determined to exercise
certain charity, no matter how he
was repaid. The other day Pauman
died and was buried. Then his will
came to light and was offered for pro-
bate. 1t was found that the dead man
had left quite comfortable estate. He
had remembered his brothers and sis
tiers in his native country of Belgium
by leaving them his personal property,
but to his kind benefactor, Mr.. Pan
kake, he bequeathed his farm of eighty
acres in Maine Prairie township.
