I, SMASHED BUGGY WHEEL

On Tuesday afternoon a horse
belonging to the Cumberland Tele-
phone Co. was driven into the
alley between the Rupert Grocery
Goa Mangan & Darnell's stable,
on Main street, and hitched to
the wire hitching place. The flies
were bad and the horse became
FESTIVE. In fighting the flies he
became tangled up in the hind
wheel of an old buggy standing
near and was thrown down, smash
ing the spokes of the wheel and
bending the spindle. Strange to
say the horse did not struggle
after he fell, and was released by
the stable hands, though not until
his hind legs were both cut and
bruised.
But few horses, would have been
so tractable, but would have torn
every thing to pieces in their
struggles.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.

THE STREET FAIR.

Some how or other the idea has
gotten out that there will be no
street fair this year. We desire to
correct this statement right now
and here. THERE WILL BE A
STREET FAIR, and don't you
forget it.
While some other IN alters have
been occupying the minds of the
promoters and directors for a time,
yet they Will come to the front
with arrangements for the fair in a
short time.
Every one recognizes the fact that
the first fair we held was a great
success, and how much better the
one last year was than the first,
and the promoters promise still
better things this year.
We hope that our merchants and
business men will be ready to rem
der any and all necessary assist
ance when the committees call on
them to help arrange for the fair.
We will certainly have a street
fart!

LOOTING PARTIES
Sent Out in China Under Guise Of
Punitive Expeditions

New York, Jan. "a Herald dis
patch from Pekin says:
The punitive expeditions of the
powers prove to have been simply
looting parties. Lieut.. Col. Whit of
the Sixth cavalry met the Germans at
Tang-Him where the latter had taxed
the villagers 1900 taels ($2, 7OO) and
100 pony loads of furs, as punish
ment for the alleged murder OF inn
aginary Christians. He had express
orders from Gen. Chaffee to cooper
ate with the Germans, but withdrew.
The Interior motive and object OF
the Germans in reducing the province
to a desert and in destroying the last
vestiges of Chinese authority is APP
parent, but why the American forces
should be ordered to assist in the
work, is not clear.

SMOKING STUNTS THE GROWTH OF
BOYS.
Whatever difference of opinion there
may be upon the ACCESSIBILITY of smok-
ing for men, there is none as to its
pernicious effect upon boys. 1t af-
fects the action of the heart and re-
duces the capacity of the lungs. Young
men who are being trained for athletics
are not permitted to smoke by their
trainers because, as they say, at is
bad for the wind" The argument
that will appeal most forcibly to your
boy is that smoking will stunt his
growth. 1t has been proven that
youthful smokers are shorter and
weigh less than their comrades who
do not smoke. Cigarettes are partic-
ularly injurious. Nicotine, the active
principle of tobacco, is said by chem
lists to be, next to prussic acid, the
most rapidly fatal poison known.
The tender tissues of a growing boy
cannot absorb even very small
quantity of it without most injurious
results. -February Ladies Home

Remarkable Discoveries of Professor

Saginaw, Mich, Jan. 3.-Professor
Crispo Emanuel of the Royal college
of Learning, Madrid, Spain, is re-
puted to have made some remarkable
discoveries in "the thumb" He has
found positive traces of great pre-
historic race that occupied North
America thousands of years before
the sailing of Columbus from Genoa.
A stone wall, measuring fifteen to
twenty feet in height and somewhat
wider at its base, has been found
buried in the marshes and extending
about twenty-five miles from point
near Sebewaing to the little village of
Parisville.
1t traverses parts of three counties
and marks the southern boundary line

state of preservation and has escaped
discovery for so long time only be-
cause of the marshy land in which it

was a certainty of election, but he de-
clined.
81 will make the fight before the
people for senator" he said, and so
he went into the campaign with that
ambition ahead
The Republicans won, but the prize
was not for Burton. He led i'm the
contest, but the opposition combined
and by a narrow majority of one vote
out of caucus of l0j named Lucien
Baker for the coveted honor.
Still Burton was not discouraged.
"This thing has only begun" he said.
81 am young enough to wait"
He tried again in 1896, but that was
fusion year and the legislature chose
w. A. Harris. He. had about decided
to wait until 1903 and give Senator
Baker "A clear field for reelection and
he asked the senator to appoint his
friend, George Findlay, to becollector
of internal revenue. Senator Baker
agreed, but afterward changed his
mind and named Nj. w. Sutton. SUIT
ton had supported Burton in 1895 and
Senator Baker thought Suttons APP
pointment would satisfy his rival.
But it did not suit Burton, and so
the old fight was renewed, ending to-
day in the overthrow of Baker and the
final achievement of Burton's ambi-
tion.
Burton is about 80 years old. He is
native of Indiana, is "a lawyer and
his home is at Abilene. So far as is
known he has only two appointments
promised-George Findlay to be col
lector of internal revenue and L. S
Crum to be United States marshal.

GRAVE BILL"-AND HIS ENEMY.
When the report of the loss of the
'Maine" reached this country, the
account was given also of the daunt-
and sailors met the disaster. One man
while the thunder of the explosion was
still sounding in his ears, appeared
at the door of Captain Sigsbee's
cabin, and touching his cap, said
calmly:
Excuse me, sir,-I have to report
that the ship has blown up and is
sinking"
He had faced an almost certain
death in order to save the captain S
life.
When the story was told, the heart of
the nation responded with proud
throb. Every American felt honored
by the courage and GOODNESS of his
countryman, and rejoiced that by some
happy chance he was among the few
who were saved. His after story is
brief, and as it has been told in most
of the daily journals there can be no
indelicacy in reciting it here.
He was a marine orderly on the
'Maine" gallant, generous, fiendly
young fellow, who had but one enemy
himself. He drank to excess. After
the destruction of the "Maine" he
came to this country and was received
with praise and affection as hero.
His friends gathered around him; he
married and soon had another position.
He loved his work, his friends and his
wife: but not work nor friends nor
home could drag him away from the
fatal habit.
Not two years after that day when,
hero among heroes, he trod the deck
of that sinking ship, he sat alone in a
public park in New York, miserable
outcast, who for liquor had given up
all that made life dear. Mad with
want and despair, he kissed the picture
of his child, and put an end to his life
-alife which God had fitted him to
make happy and noble.
We tell this true story to American
boys, as we would point out a beast
of prey hidden by the path along which
they must walk.-Youth's Companion.

And Will be Elected With
out Any Republican
Opposition

Topeka, Jan. AT noon to-day
United States Senator Lucien Baker
gave up the contest for reelection,
and in signed statement announced
that he could not succeed. The state
ment, fresh from Senator Baker S
pen, was brought to the correspondent
of the Star by Frank Brown as the
big bell in the belfry of the Church
of the Assumption, two blocks away,
began to sound the noon hour. 1t is
simple in its phraseology, and con-
sists of only two sentences, written
on scrap of pad paper, as follows;
AFTER mature investigation, | am
satisfied that l cannot be elected. To
those of my friends who have stood
by me l am under deep and lasting
obligations. Baker"
Senator Baker made no votes what
ever after the November election,
while his opponent, j. II. Burton,
steadily made inroads upon what is
known as the doubtful members"
HOPEFUL TO THE LAST
Still, the senator kept up brave
front and was hopeful and even bel
ligerent when the contest, after q
nights suspension of hostilities, was
resumed that morning. At IL o'clocl
he gave to the CORES pendent of thu
Star a hopeful interview. but ever
