Edison,s Humor.

Thomas A. Edison is not the possess
sor of reputation as humorist, but
he told good story to Philadelphia
audience through the medium of
phonograph cylinder solicited from
the electrical inventor by the lecturer.
According to the San Francisco Argo-
naut, this was the message the cylinder
sent contained: Dear Marks, You
ask me to send you a photographic
cylinder for your lecture this even
ing and to saw few words to the au-
dience. I do not think the audience
would take any interest In dry soi-
entifc subjects, but perhaps they
might be interested in a little story,
that man sent me on a Photographic
cylinder the othSr day from San Fran
cisco. In the year 1873 a man from
Massachusetts, came to California with
chronic liver complaint. He searched
all over the coast for mineral spring
to cure the disease, and finally found
down in the San Joaquin valley Q
spring, the waters of which almost
instantly cured him. He thereupon
started sanitarium, and people all
over the world came and were quickly
cured. Last year this man died, and
so powerful had been the action OF
the waters that they had to take his
liver out and kill it with club. Yours

The Walnut Grove school, near Ko-
komo, Ind, has been distinguished ow-
ing to a fear of ghosts. Eleven years
ago Luella Mabbitt, schoolgirl, was
murdered In the grove near the school
building and her murderer, Amer
Green, was lynched, being strung up
to tree at the scene of the tragedy.
Since then the school children, 1t Is
claimed, have been frightened by
strange sounds and grewsome sights.
The apparitions are said to appear
at all hours of day and night, and as
result the school attendance dropped
off by degrees. A few days ago, says
a local informant, when the teacher
appeared to begin the fall term, only
five children We're present. The school
was abandoned and the building locked
up. Flfty-ave Of the sixty children
have been on petition of the parents
transferred to adjoining districts.

do this. There are others, however,
who really believe in bimetalhsm who

1t is really laughable to witness the

a few weeks ago were claiming the sill

going so far as to say, by inference,
that the Utah Republicans viii yet

The whole situation is nuts for the

TWO EXCITING RUNAWAYS.
Charles Eandley Saves Two Ladies
E1O-, Cautious Tn f,,rxy

CharleS HandIey Saves Two Ladies
From Serious Injury.
Two very lively runaways were re-
corded yesterday, but happily neither
! proved very serious.
w. a. Pinney, superintendent of city
! school buildings, drove down town yes
terday morning and hitched his team
and buggy in front of the temple
grounds while he went inside. A pass
ing street car frightened the team,
which broke loose and dashed up North
Main street. Half way up the block the
horses turned and made for Sheets
Bros livery yard. In passing through
the gate leading into the yard one of
the hind wheels was caught in a post,
with the result that the rear half of
the vehicle was torn off As the horses
rounded the barn one of the front
wheels was caught in a stall and the
balance of the vehicle completely
smashed. The buggy was total
wreck, being in several hundred pieces
scattered through the yard. The horses
stopped in a stall and had succeeded
in entangling themselves in such man
ner that it was necessary to cut the
harness in order to secure their Hber-
alton.
The other runaway would have been
been for the heroic action of Charles
Eandley. the well known horseman.
Two Anaconda ladies, Mrs. Frenchman
and Mrs. SfcGregor, who are in the
city on a visit, hired a rig from Nc
Coy's stables in order to see the sights.
They drove up to the south gate of the
temple, where one of the ladies aighted
TO take view of the grounds. While
standing there one of the horses sue
ceeded in rubbing the bride off. and
when the driver got out to fix it the
horse jerked its head away and started
on a run. The team dashed up the
street, and when turning down Main
the occupant. Mrs. McGregor, was
thrown out and caught between the
wheels, IL which position she was
dragged for quite a distance. Mr.
Handley witnessed the accident and
jumped in front of the galloping horses.
1t was risky piece of work, but he
hung on and brought them to a stand
still Mrs. McGregor was taken into
Johnson & Pratts drug store and given
medical attention. Fortunately her in
iuries were confined to a few slight
bruises on the body. but she will prob
ably remain sore for a few days from
the shock.
The buggy was quite badly damaged,
but the horses escaped without any in
jury. MIR. Handley's act was warmly
commended by a number of bystanders
who witnessed his heroic deed.
