The Statesman is trying to bel1s-
tie Hon. T. L. Glenn, By conlurlng
up a lot of rot aboat his not being
on the stump. Mr.. Glenn has been
IN Fremont county this, week dellv-
ering speeches all over that section.
He has been i'll during part OF the
campaign, but lately has been much
improved in health and his voice
has lost part Of the hoarseness that
he contracted when he first went up
IN North Idaho.
The Statesman can go on its way
but Mr.. Glenn will be elected as
sure as November sth comes. The
national committee of the States
mans party has alre&dy conceded
this much.

Tracy Shepherd has the reputation
of being one of the best county
treasurers in the state. The Office
requires the services of an expert
book keeper, and none better than
Mr. Shepherd can be found any
where. Why take any chances on
substituting him by an untried hand.
The office is too important to make
any change at this time. Traey's
past record in the office is a sufici-
ent guarantee as to what the future
will be. Make it sure shot by vot-
ing for him On the 9th.

The republican male quartet have
one song that they render at meet
ings that is making plenty of votes
for at least two democratic candi-
dates. Tn people will stand good
deal during campaign, but when
it comes to petty personalities they
kick. That is all this particular
song is, and it isn't vote maker
for the republicans.

AN AERONAUT'S FEAT.
Accident Compels Him to Crawl
from Gun in Midair.
Five Thousand Spectators witness
the Thrilling Scene-Escapes from
Perilous Predicnment with
Only a Few Scratches.

High above the heads of 5000 spec
tators at Binghamton, N. Y, man
crawled from the mouth of n cannon
attached to a balloon, mere speck
against the sky. 1t was n task ap-
parently beyond human accomplish
ment, and when he slipped on the
smooth sides of the gun there was q
murmur of horror from the myriad of
upturned faces, and several women
tainted, but with one hand he grasped
rope, and for moment swung sus-
pended 1000 feet above the earth. Then,
by q tremendous effort, he regained the
tow of the cannon as the balloon and
its burden shot earthwRrd. The man
was Prof. r. j. Burke, of Blossfield,
Mich, and he came to Binghamton to
make series of ascensions at the
Binghamton exposition. He was to be
| loaded into a cannon attached to the
| balloon, and when at the height of
5000 feet was to be fired from the gun
at parachute hanging from the bal
looms side, with which he was to de-
scend. Shortly after starting he dis
covered that a rope had caught around
the trigger which fired the cannon, and
it would not explode. His only hope
was to crawl from the inside to the
top of the gun. Before this was ac-
complished the balloon had gained a
swift downward impetus, and, though
he endeavored to tighten it. it struck
in tree in forest some miles away,
and he was held IA prisoner in the tree
top an hour and half before re-
leased. He escaped with a few scratches
but in those few moments he lived a
lifetime of agony, and when he slipped
from the gun he gave himself up as

OIL AS FUEL FOR STEAMER

Liquid Fuel.

The steamship Cowrie, which is dis

miles. using only liquid fuel. This
was reduced to spray by steam Jet
at the furnace door. The owners say
that the substitution of coal by oil
proved most advantageous.
Six stokers sufliced instead of 16. The
speed was slightly improved and the
bunker space was also economical a

compared with the As cubic feet taken
up by ton of coal. Twenty-Five tons
of oil were daily consumed on this voy-
age, as against 35 tons of coal con-
sumed in former voyages.
Borneo oil is declared to be excellent
fuel. and is superseding the Russian and
American product in the far east as il
can be delivered at 80 shillings ton in

TEN YEARS OF TALKING.
MRS Lucy Reeves for Decade Bab-
bled Continually, and II FL
nnlly Caused Her Death,

Mrs. Lucy \. Reeves, aged 81. who
was sent to the insane asylum at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, ten years ago from Lam
sing, died a strange and unusual death
the other day.
She literally talked herself into the
grave. For ten years her vocal effusions
have been constant, no matter what
time of day or night it was. A stream
of words constantly came from her
mouth and her shoutings became so
disagreeable to her hearers that she
was placed in padded cell, where they
could not be heard.
AS the woman grew older the habit
seemed to grow on her, and her system
gradually weakened. Even in her sleep
the babble continued The other aft
ernoon she had more violent talking
fit than ever and her lungs literally ran
out Of air.

FOUND PLAYING WITH BEAR.
Missing Three-Year-Oid Child Is Dis
covered While Caressing
the Animal.

The lost baby and the big black
bear" furnished a Sabbath sensation
in police headquarters at Dallas, Tex.
that lasted Chief of Police Price and
his men al day. Lizzie, the three
year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
A. Self, was suddenly missed by her
parents late in the evening. They had
left her playing on the sidewalk in
'front.' of the family home on Canton
street. After searching for the child
for an hour they notified the police
department and general search
throughout the city was instituted.
The theory of kidnapping was about
accepted by them as the hours passed
with no tidings Of the missing child.
About seven o'clock in the morning
two mounted officers riding through
the section of the city park in which
the zoo is located, discovered Lizzie
seated in front of the large IRON
grated cage in which big black bear
is confined. The child's feet and arms
were extended inside the cage be-
tween the bars of the structure, and
the little one was gleefully prattling
to and petting the big brute.
Lizzie was taken 10 headquarters
and restored to her parents. Chief
Price. who used TO be Texas ranger,
remarked to the child's parents and
:he newspaper men:
"lf that had been me, or one of
the force had taken such liberties
with Big Ben he would have chewed
an arm or leg off for us. to say the
least. God took care of the baby"

INSTANTLY back.
There was 10 time to be lost. Robert
did not wait. lie seized Il red lantern
and started up the road. lie must
meet the express as far away rs pos
slb!c, for in these days there were no
air-brahcS, and it would take some dis
lance for the train to slacken speed
and come to II hat, since it would, of
e0tIrse, be running at full speed.
The SNOW was sill coming down in
binding suctts; it seemed as if the
bloomsbury had Increased. if that were
possible.
Not a line Of rail was visible, but only
the sogtly-hcaptd ridges where the
wheels Of jhr last train had outlined
The rack.
Robert set out with frantic energy.
p.oWing bis way through the damp
massca. struggling over the uneven
surfaces OF the ties, and slipping and
! iIoundcrin9 to such degree that it
seemed as If he made no progress at
all.
His lantern shed such faint CLEAN
that he was afraid, no matter what his
effort. the engineer would not be able
| TO see it--a mere spark through the
| WIdrIing snow that cnveloped 1t.
He had started none too soon, for,
with his senses painfully strained, he
was certain lie felt the first faint Vi
brations OF the grooming wheels. 1t
WAS like spur he did not need. for he
| WAS already putting forth his utmost
| strength.
II was indeed the vibration sent
along the hidden rails. for presently he
4 heard a distant, muilled rumble as the
train crossed a bridge. Inches seemed
Of value in this crisis, and-he plunged
forward as many more steps as he
| cared before taking 4 stand to make
his despairing signal.
Nearer came the train. flying along
at throbbing speed, and now almost
upon him. its painting breath echoing
from he deep sides of the rocky cut
at either hand. Then its great head
light gIea med vaguely upon him like u
pale moon.
Robert swung his lantern in IA wide
slow circle at first, and then faster and
faster as the engines glowing eye be-
came nUle and more distinct.
There was no answering whistle
They did moi see it,
lie loapcd over the rail into a ditch
alongside. and from thai scrambled to
he opposite bank screaming and fling
ing his arms wildly about as if his puny
voice could be heard above all that
roar
No answer yet.
i hc lull rays Of the headlight were
On him. and the engine nearly abreast
when with a final vehement swing ht
let 90 the handle of his lantern and
hurried it headlong into the window OF
the engineers cab. As he did SO he
sank helpless upon the ground.
In second there was Il terrific shricl,
of the whistle, and Robert could heal
the grinding of the brakes. That he
was not TOO late, that the train would
be saved, were his last thoughts as he
became UNCONSCIOUS.
Presently he became aware of NOV
ing nights about him, of voices and OF
somebody trying to lift him up and
stand him on his feet.

When Robert got TO the station. he

additionSI telegraph office III or near
the scene of the disaster. for 4 p uur-
pose of working trains past the OBJ
struction.
The accident had happened II miles
or more away. at point where the
road followed the tort uous winGin~ IF
the river Thread. The bluffs along
the line there were very steep. and
there were several bridges ncross the
noisNand turbulent little stream. There
could hardly have been worse pace
for an accident. as the approaches
either way were around sharp curves.
! When the rescue train, with its pom
derous appliances for hosting and prt~
ing and lifting, had reached the spot,
it was Roberts duty to climb a tplc-
graph pole, make the necessary attach
ments with wires and stamps, and to
establish his office at its foot
He improvised a rude shelter WITH
some rails and a blanket, made chair
for himself with ii few stones hrapcd to-
gether, set up his instrument, and was
ready for duty.
IT was Saturday night. and but few
trains except the regular night en-
| press were running
The road had a double track along
that division. and the disabled freight
was on the right hand or he one taken
by the down rains, while the relief ears
were on he up track. When one Of the
up trains was due, this one would
switch off and let ii pass.
Robert Kept up communication with
the nearest stations at either hand.
and the work of opening the road went
ON very satisfactorily.
II promised to be less difficult than
had been at first apprchended. and it
began to look as if by midnight botA

at work did not mind ii so much; but
Robert. seated AT his industrio little

"My orders were to let her come on"
