A SHOCKING ACCIDENT
George Brown, of Portland, Drowned
the Slough This Morning.

George Brown, of Portland, Drowned in
the Slough This Morning.
A sad case of drowning occurred in
the slough about mile above the city
at 10:30 Saturday. 1t appears that
Carl aud Earl Rinehart, little fellow
named Pearson, George Brown, the
boy who was drowned, and several
other youngsters went up to the
slough to go swimming.
All the boys except George Brown
were on one side of the slough, while
he was opposite to them and but
short distance away, as the slough is
quite narrow. After removing his
shoes and stockings he waded in up to
his knees and then went out and re-
moved the remainder of his clothing.
He then took board to assist him to
float, as he could not swim, and began
wading out. The boys on the op
posite shore cautioned him not to go
too far but he, unconscious of mis- danger
kept on wading into deeper water
when he suddenly slipped off rock or
sandbank and sank. His little COM
panions were powerless to help him
and ne was dead before any assistance
reached the spot. The first grown
person on the scene was G. B. Cush-
ing who was going up the river hunt
ing AMI he heroically went in at the
| risk of his own life to rescue the little
| fellow. L. was too late, however, as
the poor boy had been in the water
| almost half an hour when Mr.. Gushing
reached him and life was extinct.
The Rinehart boys Immediately
came to town for a doctor, but the lad
was past all medical aid. Mr.. Cush.
| ing did all in his power to bring the
| boy to, but after determined effort ii
| was plain that it was too late.
George Brown, was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. A. Brown, of Portland, who
| were here for few days visiting the
| family of Mr.. NJ. J. Pearson. He was
ten years and eleven months, old, and
was bright intelligenG little fellow,
and his sudden and untimcly death is
indeed sad blow To his bereaved
parents, :;ho are almost distracted
with grief and have the sympathy of
the entire csmmunity.
The remains were brough; to Mi
chell's undertaking parlors where
they will be prepared for burial and
sent to the home of the parents in
Portland on the early morning train
tomorrow.

Purchased Votes.

Mark Hanna, having had such great
success in his campaign of money in
1896, is now engaged in selling out his
business enterprises preparatory to de
voting all of his time to politics. Per
haps Mark Hanna thinks that ca
pacity for spending money in politi-
cal contest Is all that is necessary for
success, and that in 1904, he, the great
briber of the country, may be able to
purchase for himself the Presidential
chair.
But the people of this country make
a distinction between bargain hunt
ing political hack and a man who has
won popular esteem through long and
able public service. That Mckinley
owes his present position to the eX-
penditure of vast sums of money is ad-
mitted even by the Republicans them
selves, who are now boasting of the
wealth which is to be poured out in
an attempt to re-elect him. But Nc
Kinley had been prominent factor
in politics for many years. was an ora
tor of such plausible address that he
had caused multitudes to regard him
as a statesman.
Mark Hanna possesses none of these
popular characteristics. He is n crude,
boOrish, offensive creature who .con,
ciliates with an Az" and whose fiaunt-
ing of money in the faces of the people
is an insult and challenge for defeat

THEY NEED NOT WORRY.

Republican newspapers are devotlng
a good deal of time and space these
days in trying to show that the Demo
cratic party is splitting up into dozen
factions. The wish is father to the
thought, says the Kansas City Times.
There is some back talk In the Dem
ocratic ranks, just as there always has
been and always will be. That Is be-
cause they are free and independent
men. and that is why they always will
be. But when il comes TO doing pOliti-
cal business with the Republican par
ty they get right into line under 4
common banner and fight for n COM
mon cause. The idea of the Republi-
can press is, of course, to make their
rank and file believe that the party will
have a walkover next year and thus
encourage them to stand fast-not run.
Now, there is pleasure in admitting
that all Democrats do not think alike
on all questions. Thinking people do
their own thinking. That is the rea-
son why loud talking is occasionally
heard in the Democratic camp, but
there is just one voice when the bugle
sounds. OF course the Republicans are
mystified when they see how self-as-
sertive and Independent Democrats
are, but that is because they have a
man to do their thinking for them.

through, carrying OH Win MIN every
thing that could be eaten or worn, and
bringing general dismay to the citizens
of Southern sympathies; the next day,
perhaps, would come the ConfederateS,
able beloning to citizens of Union SEN
timent, and causin, the Lincolnite resi-
dent to betake himself to the brush,
there to remain till he could hear from
a neighboring hilltop the clatter of the
hoofs of his enemy's horses leaving
the town.
Following the trail of Burnside's
army like sleuth hound was. on the
particular occasion of which l write,
Il troop of Confederate cavalry, on, per
haps, the last important raid the Con
federates ever made through the town.
BY this time they deemed all personal
property of LincOlnte as contraband
of war and subject to seizure Lincoln
street was full of cavalry horses and
its stores full of soldiers. Mistakng
the store of the prominent rebel mer-
chant for the property of an enemy,
they entered 1t and helped themselves
to its contents.
The merchant had little daughter,
his only one, Il delicate-looking. black
eyed girl of y years of age, who had
often shown her loyalty TO the cause
and cheered the passing troops by play
ing popular Southern airs on the piano.
Among the other goods taken from her
fathers store by the present raiders
was bolt of calico, then worth dol
lar yard in greenback money-.and
hard to get at that-which had been
carefully laid away for her own use
Her eyes followed the calico till she
saw it thrown across the soldiers sad
die. The men were now mounted and
about to leave the town. The sobs of
the little girl could be heard across the
street.
Just then STRIPPING of n cavalry
man. light in figure and as beardless as
a boy, rode up, dressed as III officer
Attracted by the distress of the little
girl, he inquired the cause of her
trouble, but she was too full of sobs TO
tell him. Her Union neighbor across
the street, brave, outspoken girl of
% years, said to the officer: That lit
tie girl is crying because some of your
men have taken her dress pattern, and
that's nice way you rebels have of
treating your friends"
The officer. commanding the atten-
ton of the troops as they sat in their
saddles mp and down the street, order
ed the man having such goods In his
possession to present himself to the
front. \ Minutes pause, then 4 big,
burly fellow, with face abashed, came
out of the ranks and handed over the
article to its rightful owner. For
ward, march, and, headed toward the
heels of the enemy, they were gone, as
If on the wings of the wind. The gal
liant young officer was the then noted
cavalry leader, Gen. Joe Wheeler, now
famous hero of Santiago. Although
small incident in itself, 1t illustrates
well the dash and chivalry ever char
acteristic Of the man.-New York
Times.

The Evacuation of Richmond,

The morning of Sunday, the secood
upon the bcleagured Confederate cap
ital. While President Davis was seat
ed in his accustomed pew ut the morn
ing service Il messenger hurriedly en-
tered and handed him Il dispatch,
which said it would be necessary TO
evacuate Richmond by eight O'Clock
that night. Immediately President
Davis left st. Pauls Church for Il
brief conference with his cabinet. after
which preparations were immediately
pushed for the removal of the eXecu-
tive departments to Danville, Virginia.
Eight railway trains were summoned
by telegraph to be in readiness at eight
o'clock to carry the archives and treas
ure. Horses and wagons were i'm
pressed into service for moving the
government properties to the railroad
yards, and the streets were thronged
with citizens seeking like escape with
their belongings. AS much as one hun
dred dollars in gold was paid in hire
for vehicles. 1t was q throng of fear
fed fugitivcs, fleeing many knew not
where. The banks We're all open Oh
that Sunday afternoon, busted with
customers removing their deposits of
specie and from their vaults wagons
were loaded with gold, silver and Sc
cur.tieS After the government had
gone the commissary department was
thrown open to the hungry populace
with its appetite and greed whetted by
months of short ratiOns and starvation.
The struggling mob of men, women
and children gathered fc" the distribu-
ton thus secured the means for the
first full meal many of them had en-
ioyed in the months of siege. The city
council wisely ordered all liquors de.
stroyed, and the street cutters We're
swollen with pungent floods. Some re-
treating soldiers managed to procure a
quantity of the intoxicants, and from
that time law and order ceased. Pill
age of stores and residents began, and
the night was hideous with the orgies
of lawless marauders and the fire OF
burning buildings Woman's Home

man, who took him on his wagon and
gave him a long ride. Tired at length
OF conversation, the poet took a novel
from his pocket and pored over it long

don't see how an immortal being

Of the town ran east and west, parallel

apart. The one from the south was

nearly every citizen on 1t was either a
rebel or rebel SympatnlZer. Inc one
north of this was called Lincoln street,
nearly all of its residents being In
