GARBAGE CART CRUSHED CHILD
MT Rigney Says the Driver of the
 Team is-a Trustworthy Man.

4
 The funeral of Katherine, the 2 year-old daughter of MT and Mrs keron Ryan of Mattatuck street, who died Saturday afternoon, took place to-day with interment in St Josephs cemetery. The child was playing Ill the street in front of her home when Eugene Desereau drove along 1n one of H. NJ. Rigney's garbage wagons, and evidently not noticing the child and the little one not knowing enough to get out of the way, one or me wheels went over her. Desereau passed on for some distance, when ne was halted by C.. k. Parsons and ln- formed of the accident. The child was carried into the house and pr Crane called, but he could do nothing toward saving it's life, and so lnIorln- ed the family. Death ensued soon aI- ter Medical Examiner AXtelle vleWeu the body and reported all the facts to the coroner The child had been out of the house but few minutes when the accident occurred The wagon was empty and although the child was scarcely marked. still she was injured internally. The wagon passed over the lower part of her back. Garbage Contractor H. NJ. Rigney called at the house as soon as he heard of the sad affair
 Mir Rigney told Democrat reporter to-day that the driver who had charge of the team has been working TOT hiin for the past eight years and is a very trustworthy man. He said that tue man stopped when he saw the women pick up the child and asked what was fha matter- but no one answered, and moi knowing that he was in any way responsible for what had happened. drove on. and heard nothing further about it until some one followed him and Inquired what was his name. When MT Rigney first heard of the ac- cident at his home he went out among the men to see what there was to 1t. Just then Desereau came in with the team and when he learned that the child was dead he took fit. and when he got out of it he took another. and it was some time before he got better. Undertaken Bergin prepared the body for burial.

JEFFERsoN's EARNEST SLEEP.
Tired Out on Account of a Long Days
 Fishing he Slept on the Stage.

1lFeu OuC on account Of Long Days
 Fishing he Slept on the Stage.
 While he was playing Rip Van Win kle," Jefferson once went to the theater very much exhausted by long days fishing. AS the curtain rose on the third act it disclosed the white-haired Rip still deep in his twenty years nap. Five, ten, twenty minutes passed and he did not awaken The audience be- gan to get impatient and the prompter uneasy.
 The great actor doubtless knew what he was about, but this was carrying the realistic business too far. The fact was that all this time Jefferson was really sleeping the sleep of the just. or rather of the fisherman who had sat eight hours in the sun. Finally the gal lery became uproarious. and one of the ''gods" wanted to know if there was going to be nineteen years more of this snooze business
 At this point Jefferson began to snore. This decided the prompter, who opened small trap beneath the stage and began to prod Rip from below. The Tagged comedian fumbled in his pocket for an imaginary railway tick. ct, and muttered drowsily: ''Goinq right through, 'ductor.'
 At this entirely new reading the au dience was tfansfxed with amazement when all at once Jefferson sat up. with loud shriek, evidently in agony Tht prompter had jabbed him with pin Consciousness of the situation came 6 him and the play went on after thal with rush. 4

storm lie = OF a Candidate.

Sioux City. April 6.P Professor A. ".
Storm, of Cherokee. has come out in a
public letter declining to stand as a
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for superintendent of schools. He
declares that the announcement of his
candidacy several weeks ago in Chero-
kee was a surprise to him and without
due authority.
In hisletter he comedies that Superln-
tendent r. c. Barrett should have a re-
nomination. as he has served only four
years. He further states in his reasons
for not being a candidate that III the
Eleventh district is ever to resume its
place as power in state republican
politics the republicans must stand to-
gether and the fewer the candidates
there are from here till that is accomp-
l.lished the better"
Among MIR. Perkins friends here Mr..
Storms announcement is received with
much gratitication and they now conf
IDENTIFY expect that Cherokee county will
be one of the strongest factors in the
Perkins support.

Little York, Ind, April 6.-(Special)-i
Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. H.
Thompson left Indiana. For a time he
preached in Arkansas. afterwards en-
tering on the regular missionary work
among the Choctaw Indians.
For five years he lived and lahored
among the full bloods of the western
lrairies, until on April 9Th, 1885. having
lost his wife, he left the circuit on
which he had preached so long. and
commenced travelling missionary work
among the Indians of the various tribes
scattered in the west.
This irregular work involved a great
deal of travel over the prairies. The
drinking of 80 much alkaii water
brought on kidney troubles, which ter
minated in diabetes
Finally, While laboring among the
Creek Indians at Wagner, Indian ter
ritory, this noble man was stricken
down completely A Chicago specialist
was summoned, and after careful ex-
animation declared that there was not
the slightest chance of his recovery. Be
sides the prescriptions of the doctors he
tried many other medicines, but all tc
no avail. He says:
