ported to Admiral Sampson that he had ar
ranged a code of signals for the Cubans
and had fixed a rendezvous on shore where
they could be communicated with, and
where Information could be exchanged. Ad-
miral Sampson directed this information to
be communicated to the commanders OF the
vessels of the fleet. and 1t was given to all
the commanders then at Key West, includ-

At this time Admiral Schley. with the

AT RISK OF HIS own.
East st. Louis Man Dragged Her
From Track Just in Time
to Avoid a Car.

At imminent risk Of his life. Ned Adams
of No. so Howe avenue. East st. Louis.
grabbed the baby daughter of Internal
Revenue Officer william W. Kimball on the
street car tracks on the Rock road. just In
time to save the child from death. Only
half a dozen persons witnessed the heroic
deed, but these were loud In their praise. A
mothers heartfelt thanks. be said, amply
repaid him for his risk.
The child Is only a year and a half olo
and up to yesterday afternoon had never
wandered from the big yard around the
Kimball home at No. 622 Howe avenue.
Some older children called to the little one
and induced her to leave the yard. Down
at the corner of Rock road and Howe ave-
nue. the tots limbs got weak and she sat on
the sidewalk for awhile to rest. In the
meantime the children deserted her. Some
what bewildered the baby began playing In
the street with rocks and sticks. She start
ed a little house and carried the rocks rom
between the car tracks
Mr.. Adams was seated on the front porch
at his home when he noticed the child play
ing in the street. An East st. Louis street
car whizzed by the little one and made Mr..
Adams's heart beat quickly. Running down
TO the corner he called to the child. II was
In the middle OF the car tracks. A Belle
Vile car was approaching at a high rate OF
speed. Tut the mOtorman had spied the child
and was applying the brakes. The Little one
turned and started to Mr.. Adamel The
motorman turned on the power again. The
baby had gone. but a couple OF feet when
she turned back to the car tracks.
Mr.. Adams realized that the motorman
could not stop the car In time. and he
dashed after the child. A quick grab at her
dress caused her to cry. but Mr.. Adams's
hold was firm and as he cleared the track
with his little burden, the car brushed his
clothes as it rushed by: Mrs Kimball was
in the house at the time and when Mr..
Adams returned the child to her, he told her
merely that he had found her playing in the
street and had carried her home.

OS1 "
Senator T.. g. CHAPMAN OF JerseyvfI1D
does not think the corn crop In Jersey

Of the regular yield. In the last few days
senator Chapman has had occasion to b
over the greater part of the county. and

the yield would in many cases exceed that
figure. the upland crop conditions were -
duced.
II think the question Il not one concern
ing the yield Of corn" said the Senator,
put whether We shall even have fodder
Possibly most farmers do not feed fodder
to the extent that I do. but the scarcity Of
other grain will compel them to do 20 this
year. provided the fodder Is ut to use.
From the result Of my examination I am Of
the opinion that II Is 30 per cent water.
and that 1t will be of little service when
