HAD NARROW ESCAPE
An Incident of Capt. HobsOn's
Stay at Madison, Wis.
Mercenary Newspaper Correspond
ents Put Up an OScuIatory job On
Him, But the scheme Failed
DismaIIy.

Capt. Richmond Pearson HobsOn.
of Merrimac fame, came near being
kissed as of old when he deliyered'an
address at the Monona Lake assem-
bly,, near Madison, Wis, on the clos
ing day, August >.
This year Capt. Hobson was Sc
cured for a lecture. As Z result the
Milwaukee papers ordered several
hundred words and some few of the
Chicago papers asked for $50. This
was far and out ahead of the usual
run of affairs, but still the CORE
spondents grumbled.
Capt. HobsOn was to speak on Fri
day afternoon. Early that morning
several ambitious correspondents got
together and hatched a little plan,
which was nothing more nor less
than to have the warrior who had
succumbed to Osculatory attacks so
many times kissed again. If this
scheme could be arranged and skill
fully carried out it meant a coy lit
tie check for each of the several pro-
mOterS.
At the lone summer theater in
Madison was girl that week with Il
pretty face and undauntable nerve.
To her the plan was unfolded, and
the conspirators were informed that
Miss Bonnie Maie was billed to kiss
Capt. Richmond p. Hobson at the
Monona Lake assembly that after
noon. Each correspondent saw an
imaginary r. S. Y. p. on the direc-
tions from his paper, and smiled in
glib anticipation.
Permission to sit on the platform
was secured from Secretary James i.
Moseley, and in the afternoon Bon
ME Maie and a friend were escorted
across the lake by one of the news
paper men. On the boat the young
lady occupied her time rehearsing a

entreaties she hit the animal a Sec
ond time, when it plunged forward,
and horse, buggy, boy and mother
were in a torrent.
The boy was thrown on log, one
of the many being washed down the
creek. The log was driven into a
piece of high ground and stuck fast.
Several hundred yards below the boy
heard his mother crying for help. He
answered her, but was afraid to trust
himself to the swift current.
At the second answer he heard a

peared swimming out from the bank.

him. He then quit his hold on the
log and grasped the horses harness,
when the animal swan with him to
the bank.
There he must have become uncon-
gcious, as it was midnight when he
reached a farmhouse half a mile
away, and the watch found on his
mothers body had stopped at nine

COL. MORGAN'S BAIT.
Both It and His Famous Retriever
Dog Prove Unruly.
Famous Arkansas Genius Tries New
Method of Fishing, But VIII
Hereafter COnfine Himself
to Hook and Line.

Ike Morgan, who lives down near
Tulliver, Ark, does not believe in any
new-fangled ways of fishing. Ike
says that now and forever afterwards
the good old way with rod and line
is good enough for him. Ike keeps a
hotel down near Tulliver and one
day, says the Chicago Tribune, he
was boasting to q lot of travelling
men of new and improved way he
had of fishing. Ike said:
"a want to tell yo' gen'men that
tn ole way yo' all hev' of fishin' is
too slow. A fren' of mine told me
if evah All got in hurry for a good
mess Of fish thet tn only way to do
would be to jest tex er stick of
dinahmite an throw it into the river
an blow the fish up, sab, and have
enough fish fer the hotel for a week,
sab"
The travelling men told Col. Nor
gan they did not think much of his
scheme. They said the dynamite
might make good deal of noise and

have on the fish would be to stun
them perhaps mOmentarily and that
then they would swim away. If any
fish should happen to be caught right
near the exploding dynamite the traV-
cling men declared that that particu-
lar fish would be blown so high he
wouldn't come down for two weeks,
and when he did he would be so dead
that he would not do for a nice fry.
Col. Morgan became quite heated by
the argument and declared he should
experiment the very next morning
and invited everybody to come down
and watch his triumph.
That day Col. Morgan drove over
to a mine near Tulliver and secured
big dynamite cartridge which was
to be fired with a fuse. The next
morning Col. Morgan, with the dyna-
mite cartridge carefully carried in
a basket and attended by his guests
and most of the male population of
Tulliver, went down to the river to
make the test. Col Morgan care
fully ignited the fuse and then,
straining every muscle, threw the
cartridge with all his might into the
river. Unfortunately he threw too

Schley Inquiry Has Serious Finan-

Expense VIII Not BE Considered,
However. by the Navy Department,
which Wants the Controversy
Settled Forever.

Now that an official investigation
of the SampsOn-Schley controversy
has been ordered no expense will be
spared, as it is the purpose of the
secretary Of the navy to get every
possible fact having any bearing on
the Santiago campaign over which
disputes have arisen before the court
Of inquiry.
Every officer whose testimony will
be Of the slightest value will be sum-
moned to Washington whether on
duty on the Asiatic station or in Eu-
rope.
The meetings of the court, says the
New York World, are TO be held in
the most richly appointed apartment
of the navy department. the floors
of which are covered with expensive
carpets, the walls elaborately deco
rated and hung with valuable paint
ings of former secretaries, and which
is furnished with mahogany tables,
settees and big easy chairs uphol-
stored in leather.
The naval regulations provide that
officers Of the navy travelling under
orders in the United States shall be
allowed eight cents per mile while so
engaged in lieu of their actual ex-
penses.
Officers travelling to the United
States from foreign station will
receive subsistence pay at the rate
of from so cents to one dollar per
day if travelling on a naval vessel or
on any army transport. But as very
few of the officers summoned from
foreign countries can travel on gov
ernment vessels actual travelling ex-
penses viii be allowed for the sea
voyage, and eight cents per mile for
such part of the journey as is made
by rail. A naval officer coming from
the Philippines to San Francisco on
n merchant vessel would receive about
$500 for the sea voyage, $3.50 for the

The last question was superfuOus.
It was to be answered while the

Everything worked like a charm.

in the center of the stream. In a
moment there was a splash in the

bors shrieked in alarm: ike, Ike,

Col. Morgan rushed down to the

But the dog did not hear. At any
