HER FATHERS RESCUE
Boat Capsized in Middle Of the River, But
She Saved His Life.

Omaha, May 17.-By her timely and
heroic efforts, twelve-year-old Jessie
Crawford saved her father. James
Crawford from drowning in the Miss
ouri River
Through the swift-fowing stream
the girl rowed rapidly to the rescue,
and when her father, almost exhaust
ed by his frantic attempt to haster the
current,came to the surface a second
time, she assisted him into her boa
and brought him safely to shore
He was taken to his home, and, al
though in a semi conscious state when
the boat reached the shore he soon re-
covered and was able to go about his
work again.
Crawford is a fisherman by occupa-
tion and left home shortly after >
O'Clock, saying that he was going to
row to the Iowa side of the river. A
floating log struck the end of the boat
and overturned it.
The flaXen-haired life saver is mite
of a girl in short clothes.

WORKMAN SHOCKED
Said He Felt No Pain From 600 Volts, and
Simply Quit Work.

New York, May lin adjusting a
crossed wire in the power house at
Lexington avenue and Twenty fifth
street, an electrician received a shock
of 600 volts and apparently was killed.
Through the ignorance Of some work
men he was not attended as he should
have been. He recovered conscious
ness in a few hours and now is as well
as ever.
Frank Marion, of No. 504 Humboldt
avenue, Brooklyn, was supposed to be
most careful man, and when he went
among lot of wires back of a. switch
to correct some little defect, no atten-
tion was paid to him. Suddenly he at
tracted all attention by rolling out
from behind the switchboard and
down several steps.
Itwasa halfhour later beforehe was
sent to Bellevue Hospital Owing to
the delay in caring for him the doctors
had hard time of it, but powerful in
jections of heart stimulants restored
his heart action and he soon was fully
recovered. There was no mark on his
body. He said he had felt no shock at
all, and simply quit work"

Small Po1 at Barlow.

Reports from Barlow township are
to the effect that smallpox is preva-
lent in that vicinity to an alarming
extent. Twelve or Is cases in as many
families are causing the physicians
much trouble and considerable an
xiety. The disease seems to be con-
fined largely to the colored residents
of the neighborhood and the number
of patients in the several families
seems to be on the increase. The pest
is not present IN malignant form
but the initiatory stages indicate q
milder form.
1t has rapidly increased. however
since the discovery of the first case
ard at the present rate will be over 9
GOOD share of the township before il

Fought with a Ghost.

Milton, Pa, May 1.-THE farming
section about Schuyler. small town
on the line dividing Northumberland
County from Montour, is excited over
the experience of Johnnie Hill, a lad,
who claims to have been attacked by Il
ghost. He says he was awakened in
bed by smothering sensation, and op
ened his eyes to see in the darkness
the form of man bending over him,
and to feel the clutch of cold and clam.
my fingers about his throat.
Young Hill screamed and began such
a struggle for his life that the other
occupants of the house took refuge in
flight. He declares that the ghost told
Linn to keep still or it would choke him
to death.
After a tussel of two or three min
utes, Hill says he managed to break
away, and, jumping through window,
carried sash and all with him to the
yard below. Leaplng to his feet, he
fed across the fields to the house of a
neighbor.
Superstitious people believe the
ghost theory, but others think that
the ghost" was some one after the
family savings.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing TO the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

FORTUNE OF THE LATE QUEEN VICTORIA
Estimated That the Private Fortune Amounts
to S35,OOO,OOO.

1t is estimated that the private for
tune of Queen Victoria amounts to
about $35, 100000. Parliament pro-
vided for her living and household ex
penses, and she was a careful manager
of her private resources. Her husband
the Prince Consort, left her the bulk
of his fortune of $4,000, 900, at his
death about forty years ago, and ano-
ther large windfall was a bequest of
81, 500, 900 early in her reign, by John
Camden Nield, an eccentric miser of
London. 1t is said that this item alone
has been accumulating interest ever
since, until it now amounts to over
So, 100000. It will be seen therefore,
that the immediate members of the
queens immediate family are not
likely to suffer from real want, even
without the aid of Parliament.
