cover the animal.-Lamoni Patriot.

An HOUR IN The WATER.
Narrow Escape from Drowning OF Two Ban
gor Men While 0ucking.

Edward +. Moor of the First Nation
just returned to Bangor from Lake
Onawa. where. during the latter part
Of last week. they had a narrow es-
cape from death by drowning. The two
men were in the water for over an
hour. and it was only after desperate
efforts that they succeeded in gaining
the shore in an exhausted condition.
MessrS. Moor and Haskell We're stay
ing at Ernest Parsons camp. one day
late last week they started out in a
canoe in quest OF ducks. Mr.. Moor
occupied a seat in the stern of the craft
and did the padding. while DR.. Has
kell was perhed we'll forward armed
with shotgun. They had gone but
comparatively short distance from the
camp when a duck suddenly rose on
one side and with whir Of wings
started straight for them.
Dr.. Haskell raised his gun instantly
and blazed away. firing directly at
right angles with the bow. The shock
of the recoil capsized the canoe and in
stantly the two men were struggling III
the water.
The bottom of the lake at this point
is extremely soft and muddy and
threatened to suck the men down when
their feet touched it. The canoe had
been filled with water when 1t was
overturned. and although partially sub
merged. it was still floating. All Ell
forts to support themselves by il. how
ever. failed. and it commenced sinking
with the slightest additional weight.
The men We're a considerable distance
from the shore and We're rapidly eV-
hausted when they managed to partial
" free the canoe from water.
From that time on it was hard up
hill fight to gain the shore. By sup
porting themselves with the canoe and
swimming at the same time they man
aged to move foot by foot and finally,
when nearly ready to give up, they
managed to reach the shore.
Neither of the two men are any the
worse for their dangerous experience.

BRYAN AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Speaks 10 Democratic Clubs Meeting. Making
Same Old Pleas and Arguments.

indianapolis, Ind. Oct 4-The hall in
which was assembled the National As
ISOLATION of Democratic clubs was
thronged with people this afternoon.
probably 5000 being present. After Ad-
lai Stevenson had concluded, James Il.
Sovereign, ex-grand master workman
of the knights of Labor. spoke, dealing
with the workinsmen from a political
standpoint.
Mr.. Bryan reached the city a few
minutes before 3 O'Clock, but did not
arrive at the hall until 4.15 O'Clock. He
was escorted through the streets by a
number Of marching clubs. As soon
as the Democratic national candidate
appeared on the platform there was
Wild shout of greeting. and this soon
developed into a demonstration which
continued for about six minutes until,
indeed, there was a call for cessa-
ton from Mr.. Bryan himself. The
speech was literally applauded
throughout.
Mr. Bryan spoke of the good work
done by the clubs. He said they We're
needed to assist in collecting the money
to carry on the campaign. They are
needed. he said. to circulate literature
to present arguments among individ-
uals. to poll the votes and help 10 bring
out the vote on election day. Final
ly he said. we need the clubs to pre-
vent fraud after the vote is cast.
Mr.. Bryan then took up the issues
of the campaign. He accused the Re
publican party of lodging nearly every
issue.
Mr.. Bryan then alluded to the claim
Of the Republicans that he had helped
to ratify the treaty. and therefore
should now be silent. He ridiculed this
position and said that the Filipinos
are fighting for the same cause as the
colonists 100 years ago. the Beers and
the Cubans.
Mr. Bryan dwelt al length on the
Philippine question and arraigned the
Republicans severely for attempting to
violate the constitution in governing a
people against their will and refusing
citizenship to the newly acquired ter
ritory. In this connection he included
Puerto Rico. He charged that the Re
publican party is following the line Of
monarchy.
Mr. Bryan also charged British pro-
clivities to the administration and the
following of British examples in grant
ing to the Puerto RicanS the use of
money raised under the Puerto Rican
bill.
After quoting from President Mckin-
Iey's expression on the principles in the
Declaration Of Independence and ar
raigning him for gross inconsistency.

1t to Northwestern Readers.
II anything had been lacking, to
make perfect metropolitan newspa-
per OF the St. Paul Dispatch, the want
was entirely filled when it completed
arrangements for the special foreign
cable service which is now brighten
ing its columns. 1t is really astonlsh-
ing how the recent war with Spain has
developed the American thirst for the
news of the world. It placed America
IN new position with regard to the
rest of the earth and gave new impor
tance to the events of the world at
large. II the movements of foreign
powers were once of interest, they be-
came doubly so when America rose
into place as world power. The St.
Paul Dispatch recognized this when it
secured this cable service, with. it's
news from first hands. No longer is
London the sole source of all European
news, and no longer is the news of the
world filtered through British chan
nels and tinted with English ideas. It
comes to the Dispatch straight from
each European center and without bias
or prejudice. This will be gratifying
to all intelligent people of the North
west, particularly so to that large for
elgn-oorn element which delights in
information direct from the fatherland.
The Dispatch has secured resident
correspondent in every large city on
earth, who uses both cable and mail
in sending in every news event of in
terest and all public gossip that is dear
to the heart of the newspaper reader.
In the past six years the Dispatch has
made great strides to the front and is
to-day recognized as the greatest even
ing newspaper of the Northwest.

it puts daily paper in reach of every
