ROOSEVELT NARROWLY ESCAPES
AN ACCIDENT IN THE PARADE

Gov. Theodore Roosevelt narrowly
escaped an accident in Rock Island Ia st
night. That he was not thrown from
his carriage into the street he can
thank Policeman John Schmid, who,
as the procession was passing up
Fourth avenue at Twenty-second
street, noticed one of the rear wheels
of the Roosevelt carriage was
webbing.
Officer Schmid, who was walking in
the street. made his way through the
crowd to the carriage, and held the
wheel onto the axle until the speak
ers' stand was reached. The wheel
was nearly off when Policeman Schmid
made the discovery.

by the recent freezes of the ground that
the farmers will suffer nsiderably from

SHIPPING CATTLE.
Georgia Bovines to
Tickle PaIates of Cubans.

The cattle raising industry in Dough
erty and surrounding counties is of more
importance than many persons imagine.
Not only do our local butchers prove
good customers of farmers with cattle to
sell but there are always buyers for
other markets on hand with money to
offer.
A trade was concluded yesterday be
tween Mr.. Morris Weslosky and party
representing a Columbus firm by which
the former received 81 200 in cash for a
small bunch OF cattle Mr.. Weslosky
represented several parties besides him
self in the transaction.
Among the lot of cattle were 80 steers
raised by Mr.. Fl. H. helms on his place
II miles east of Albany. Their average
weight was 1888 pounds, which speaks
volumes for the possibilities of cattle
raising in this section.
The entire bunch Of cattle were loaded
on three cans, which. together with two
other cars from Columbus similarly
laden, were hurried off for Tampa in a
special train. The five cars of boVines
will be shipped from Tampa to Cuba. -

NOT ON THE TIME TABLE.
The Curious Reason for Which a Train Was
Side Tracked,

Side tracked.
In the .rarefiGd atmosphere Of the
high tablelands of Mexico objects that
are really long way off appear to be
close at hand. This has led to many
ludcrous mistakes on the part of tour
lists, and even on the part of those hav-
ing a knowledge Of the peculiarly of
the country.
The Mexican Central railroad has a
tangent (section of track in which
there is no curve) that Is said to be the
longest In the world. 1t is over 60
miles in length, and a locomotive head
light can be seen, Of course, for very
long distance.
One evening a train rounded the
curve approaching this tangent, and
as IL entered on the straight track its
brakes suddenly began to grind. 1t
soon came to a standstill, and the con-
ductor, fearing that an accident had
befallen the engine, hurried forward,
and was shown by the engineer light
that was twinkling and dancing Oh the
track directly ahead.
"A neaQnSnt, sure, tne euSIueeI
said "Must be an extra and the dis
Datchers have overlooked it, for orders
do not mention it."
Guess you are right" the conductor
replied, "but l never knew the dis
patchers to be so careless before. Any
where but on this tangent there would
have been a collision and somebody
killed We'd better move ahead slowly
to the next side track. We can't tell just
how near that train may be, and we
will wait for it to pass us there"
They reacfsed the side track in safety,
and, drawing in on 1t, awaited the
coming of the other train. Half an
hour passed, and the engineer was
tuning, wondering how much longer
he was to be delayed, when the con-
ductor called him to step out to the
main line.
what do you think of that head
light, now?" he asked, when the engi-
peer had Joined him. Seems to have
got clear up and off the road"

light, then. venus, by Jupiter" he ex-

Six years had passed-six years,

Mr.. Clayton's in its magnitude.
A year afterward he married. His

but there were depths in his nature that

TO BREAK A QUEER WILL.

Dccedent Swore He Would Make $780,
900, but Died Too Soon.
"The richest workingman in New Jer-
sey" was what all his acquaintances
called George Beesley, who died few
days ago at his home in Paterson, n. j.,
but hardly any one imagined that he
was worth $1T5,OO0. Such was the
case, however, and now there is every
prospect that lawyers, his pet abomi-
nation, will get a share Of the estate.
Should such an untoward result ensue
IL will be all due to Beesley's extraor-
dinary will, which the heirs have de-
cided on trying to break. A number Of
years ago, when Beesley was a black
smith in the Rogers Locomotive Works,
he swore that before he died he should
be worth 100000. About year ago
his health began to fail and as yet his
fortune was not more than $115,0OO.
Ere long he realized that he was not
destined to carry out the provisions Of
his oath, but he did what he regarded
as the next best thing. He tied his
money up by will, restricting his chill
dren to the merest pittance until the
estate should be worth 100000, as he
had originally planned. Much of his
investment had been in gilt-edged but
low-interest stocks, and the heirs have
come to the conclusion that the law
will give them speedy access to COM
fort which without Its help would be
long postponed. Hence the attempt to
break the remarkable will. An un-
usual feature OF the contest Is that the
two girl heirs object to their fathers
discrimination against their brother
and insist that he shall have n share
OF the estate equal to theirs.
Beesley. who was at once a miser and
n money lender in his late years, seem
ed to think Of nothing but adding dol
lar to dollar and determined that, as
be had lived without luxuries, his chill

able afternoon upon the beach, lady
stood waiting in the elegant drawing
room OF the house to which she had

half in shadow from the heavy cur

for all that she started perceptively
when a step crossed the hall and n gen

gray, entered.
She had sunk back on the sofa, and
her frame quivered with emotion.
You have come, madam, in answer
to my advertisements" he asked, eau
tious1y.
"No, no." she anwsered. "There are
reasons why it will now be impossible
for me to accept the situation offered"
That voice! Had it not too long
haunted him to be thus easily forgot
ten? Would he not know 1t even though
il sounded above his very grave?
Sydney! you here:" he exclaimed.
"Ah, Mrs. Clayton-pardon me, for the

years had made little change. 1t was

Had he really spoken, or was it her

said, imperiously. Let the dead past

dren should follow in his steps. In
Beesley's home the food was OF the
simplest. Oil for the lamps was meas
ured out each week and groceries were
weighed according TO a schedule. II
the measured supply did not last so
much the worse for those who had been
too proulgal. Matches the old man re-
garded as an extravaganza. He whit
tied splints with his jackknife when he
had time and these were lighted from
a lamp or the.kitchen stove. He shaved
notes for men who worked with him
and this laid the foundation Of his for
tune. Wise investments in real estate
and sudden rise in railroad stocks, a
large block OF which he had acquired
as collateral forfeited, made him inde-
pendent. Then he invested most OF his
wealth in safe securities and waited
for the realization which his death pre-
vented.
