| Remarkable Escape of j. III. Murry's
Three-Year-Old Son. Fireman VIM.
Smith Proves Himself a Hero.
The little tfree-year old son of j. Ii
hurry of Culver had miraculous es-
cape from death Monday. The lit
| tie fellow was wandering near his
fathers farm and had strolled out On
the right of way and into the center OF
the track. While he stood thus, the
north bound freight train approached at
good speed which was accelerated on
account at the steep grade. The engl.
neer and fireman grasped with fearful
excitement the horrible situation. They
foresaw in an instant that the heavy
train numbering down with the weight
of eighteen cars cOul0 not be checked
in time to save the child. 1t was a mo-
ment of intense excitement but not of
stupefication as has been said. In the
cab was man 80 nervy and cool that
death itself could not unstring him. He
was Il lTtIu6u w IL. Clllllu. NOI d ocC-
ond did he pause, but swiftly yet cody
made his way to the pilot of the engine.
There he stood; with one hand firmly
clinpin to the iron work and the other
extended in readiness 70 clasp the inno-
cent. But the efforts Of this brave man
were doomed to be frustrated. Just as
he fancied he could reach the little
form it fell and the engine with eighteen
cars passed over it. 1t is true Fireman
Smith did touch the child's dress but
as is seen, to no avail. The
train was stopped as soon as pos
sible and backed to the scene of
the accident. What was the surprise
of the trsinmen and the others to be-
hold the supposed corpse standing and
toddling. The little one when exam
ined was found to have broken arm
and several other injuries. Its recov-
cry, however, is considered certain.

A Canadian Episcopal bishop is
calling DR.. Talmage to time. He
mentions the eccentric American
preacher as an uneducated man of
smart expressions. Speaks of Tai
mage's visit to the holy land and of
his effrontery in preaching from the
same spot where St. Paul preached
centuries ago, and characterized his
action of baptizing one of his fol-
lowers in the river Jordan as "blas-
phemous audacity."

The appellate court Of the second
district of Illinois has decided that
cider is Intoxicating. In New Eng
land the intoxicating qualities of
hard cider have been known for a
period approaching three centuries.
The drunk produced by the fermen-
ted juice of the apple was so de-
graded and durable that in the good
old days the wives of hard cider
inebriates were accustomed to adj
jure their lords to procure a portion
of rum and expedite operations.

A FAIRY TALE.
Concerning An Alleged Scheme of Coun-
ty Superintendent.

Concerning An Alleged scheme of Coun-
ty Superintendents.
An ambitious young man from Allen
county, whose name was not given, was
in Indianapolis recently and gave re-
porter few pointers for a foundation
for q sensational article. This young
man is an aspirant for the honor of su-
perintendent of schools in Allen county,
but claims he is the victim of game
of freeze out by county superintendent
at the recent teachers meeting held In
Fl. Wayne. The scheme as set forth by
the Indianapolis reporter is as follows:
"a sensational rumOr of compact
alleged to have entered into by county
superintendent at the recent meeting
of the Northern Indiana Teachers As
ISOLATION at Ft. Wayne was set forth at
length In the Sentinel recently. Ac-
cOrding to the story the last legislature
paved the way for the compact by pass
ing the law requiring that any person
to be eligible to hold the office of county
superintendent must hold a three years
license at the time of election, except
ing, however, all present incumbents
who are eligible to election without any
prescribed qualifications. 1t is related
that at Ft. Wayne the county superin-
tendents held very secret caucus and
entered ilto a binding agreement not to
issue any more thirty six months licen-
ses until after the coming elections of
alleged that the number Of outstanding
three years licenses is small indeed and
by failing to issue any more, the chances
of a reelection of present lDcumbents
because of the sheer lack of other avail
able timber, would be greatly enhanced.
A gentleman of Ft. Wayne who repre-
ser himself to be a victim of this
alleged freeze out agreement, was in the
city today and told the story to the
newspapers.
"There is not much doubt at all that
the county superintendents of the state
worked the legislature for the four year
term and thereby made 1t possible for
many of them to grab two years extra
service, but it is hardly probable that
any such scheme as Is set forth above
has been entered into by them. But
time will tell the story"
