A New Alpine DANGER.

The wire cables used by tourists for
protection and aid in the Alps may,
according to the latest experiences. be
dangerous, writes a Berlin correspond
ent of the London Standard. An acct
dent which occurred on July 20 during
IN ascent of the Tribulaun. In the
Stubuler Alps, is proof Of this. Sew
eral tourists on that day assembled to
the summit of the mountain, which IL
300 meters high. Near the top. where
the ascent had to be made with the
aid of wire cables, the rocks suddenly
began to hum when an ice pick came
in contact with the cable, and sparks
were seen. Shortly before there had
been thunderstorm, which caused
all these electrical phenomena. Sud-
denly the lightning struck the cable,
stunning tourist and the guide and
hurting them several hundred meters
below. The other tourists were also
struck.

Anchored in st. Louis is modern
Noah's ark bearing ninety-six mem.

pose navigating the Mississippi until
the millennium, which they believe will

The study of astronomy is one of the

bers of the new sect term themselves,
says the New York World. The Me-
giddo is the name of the craft occupied
by the brethren. 1t is no mere house
boat, but typical Mississippi steamer.
"Megiddo" Is an ancient Hebrew word
for 1.-THE Lord of hosts.'
I'VE believe that the millennium will
come in the year 1941," said one Of this
peculiar sect I'VE believe that at the
end of the 5000 years of mans earthly
existence, which will come in 1041, the
earth will become paradise. and man,
with his earthly body restored but
with new powers and properties. will
hv able to soar to the most remote plan

COWBOYS RIDE FOR LIFE.
Thrilling Experience Of James
Evans on q Ranch In Arizona.

ThriIltnG Experience OF James
Evans ON a Ranch In Arizona.
For nearly nm hour the other day
James Evans, cowpuncher with the
TX Bar L. outfit in the Four Peaks
country, had an experience the Ike OF

Phen.x (Ariz) dispatch to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Evans. who holds the
steer tying championship Of the north

other punchcrs, was putting l.500 cat

While camped for the night or high
mesa. ending abruptly with sheer
drop of 200 feet, less than eleven miles
to the south, great storm swept
through the mountains. The herd was
frightened by the lightning and started
in wild stampede. headed for the
south. Evans and his men mounted
hurriedly and, circling to the front Of
the maddened mass. tried to turn it to
the east and swing it back into place.
With whoops and revolver shots they
vainly tried to stop and turn the swift
~ rushing crush of hoofs and horns.
Evans horse lost his footing and went
down in heap, one front leg in
gopher hole. The horse of Shorty" Da-
Wis, close behind, stumbled over Evans
horse, and its rider was badly hurt.
His horse was up and off in a moment,
and Nyans' mount was useless. with a
broken leg.
Fifty yards away came the herd, and
a sharp flash of lightning showed Ev
ans the futility Of attempted escape by
either side. the swiftly moving sea Of
steers reaching for hundred yards
each way. Unable to arouse Davis and
unwilling to leave his disabled COM
rade, Evans took his two six shooters
and those of Davis and emptied them
into the center Of the herd, cutting a
breach in the front of the mass. Then,
throwing the inanimate form Of Davis
over his shoulder, he awaited his op-
pOrtunity. 1t came in a second, and as
one of the steers brushed by Evans
leaped alongside. With one movement

With its double load. the steer wild

reason TO believe that seat in the United
States Senate is about the last place Mr..
Taggart would oovet. But he does desire
to be recognized as the most important
factor In the Democratic party Of Indiana
a distinction which he may fairly lay claim
to. He would like to be chairman of the
Democratic national committee, but his
chances are said not to be so fiattering as
they were before he so neatly outgeneraled
the s-DoughertyMenzies combination
in the organization of the state committee.
II the ex-mayor has not lost his rare cum
ning-and there is not the least reason to
believe that he has-he can easily win the
empty honor of receiving the Democratic
vote for United States senator over such
a competitor as Mr. Shively would be.

THE PROSPECTS IN INDIANA.

The New York Herald has made pre-
diction OF the political complexion OF every
member in the next House of Representa-
tives, except in fifteen districts, which are
marked as doubtful That prediction elects
200 Republicans and Ill Democrats-a Re
publican lead OF twenty-nine. If eight of
the Herald's doubtful districts should be
carried by the Democrats and seven by the
Republicans the latter would have a ma
should be carried by the Democrats the
Republicans would have lead Of fourteen
or nearly twice the Republican majority
in the House which elected Thomas 3.
Reed speaker in December, 1889, and gave
the House the Reed rules and the country
the Sherman antitrust law.
In its forecast the Herald elects Demo-
crat in the First Indiana district to rattle
around in the seat which Mr.. Hemenway
so completely fills. In this the Herald is
mistaken. Mr.. Hemenway will be elected.
The Journal is aware that Democratic
effort has been concentrated in the First
district to defeat Mr.. Hemenway, but IL
will not avail Republicans who are best
informed regarding the political complexion
of the next House do not claim the forty
five majority they have in the present
House. but they predict that the majority
elected I'm 1898.
The Cincinnati Enquirer. which pub
fishes the New York Herald's predictions,
has as one of its headlines, Indiana Wa
vering on the Brink of Dark Uncertainty"
There is really nothing in the Heralds
predictions to warrant such declaration.
but it should be understood that. while the
Enquirer and those it represents are quietly
engaged in digging the grave of Tom l..
Johnson so deep that no political trump
can resurrect him, they are DESTROYS that
the Republican ticket should be elected
because i'd stands for anti-Bryanism, while
Johnson's' Democratic party reaffirmed the
Kansas City platform and lauded Mr..
Bryan. The anti-Bryan Democrats all
over the country tacitly approve the silent
but effective efforts of the Enquirer and its
followers to put end to the political
career of Tom l.. Johnson. chiefly because
he is the most conspicuous exponent Of
Organism in the country.
Indiana is not 'wavering on the brink
of dark uncertainty If the Republicans
go to the polls on Nov. T. as everything
now indicates they will, the Republican
plurality will be the largest since 1894.
The prospect is much better than it was a
week before the election of 1898. All that
is needed to verify this prediction is that
every voter who believes that continued
Republican ascendency is better for the
country shall vote his convictions.

Roosevelt and the Strike.

New York Independent.
We have said that Mr.. Morgan ended the
strike. II is true that his was the final act.
But the strike was really ended by Presi-
dent Roosevelt the tireless and tactful
representative of public opinion.
1t is grand achievement for the promo
ton of peace. Some have said that the
dignity of the presidential Office would
suffer in some measure by Mr. Roosevelts
action, surely IL he should fail. probably
even If he should succeed. But the dignity
OF that Office is never more firmly upheld
than when the President Is striving with

ton and TO prevent a national calamity.
The dignity of the office would not have
been fully preserved IL Mr.. Roosevelt had

ever. IL has been elevated I'm the estima-
ton of the people by this notable public
service which he has performed.

Boston Journal.
One of the lurid tales which the anti
imperialsts have been busily circulating
in their effort to discredit the United States
army was what purported to be letter
written by one William ]. Longenberger,
a private of the Fifteenth Infantry. to
his mother in Danville, Pa. This letter
told of appalling scenes of carnage in
the Philippines Private Longenberger
was made to say that as he wrote stacks
of unburied bodies of Filipinos lay about
him and that when an insurgent dropped
"our boys all shot him seven or eight
times, that he covered with blood
from head to foot" The anti-administra-
ton press printed and reprinted this let
ter with great gusto, with Mortified edi-
torial comments thereon as to the 'cruel-
ty'' and "barbarity'' of the American SOL
diers.
their way to the Philippines, and the sub
ject came up before General Chaffee for
official investigation. OF course. the letter
was Immediately proved to be a humbug.
Private Longenberger, brought TO task by
the commanding officer of his regiment,
acknowledged that he had no authority
whatever for his Observation-Disclosures tale.
II heard the story from another enlisted
man." he said, land have never witnessed
the death of native of the Philippines.
L now believe that the story told me was
only idle Boosting" First Lieutenant Z.
NJ. Reeves, who commands Longenberger' s
company, A of the Fifteenth, states that
Longenberger's record shows that he has
never been in action, nor near the scene
of one. In fact, he has never seen a Fill
pino die, not even from sickness. The
whole affair is the work Of his imagination
and there is not word Of truth in it,
There will be no pity for the deluded an
ti-imperialsts in this new discontinue.
They have been warned that young SOL
diers. no less than sailors. were tremend-
uously given TO the drawing of the long
bow in thei letters to the home folks.
These anti-imperialist organs and politi-
clans were so eager to get some mud to
throw at the flag Of the United States
that they caught frantically at every scrap
of camp talk that promised scandal Time
and time again the absurd falsity of their
accusations has been exposed. This case
of Private Longenberger ought to touch the
anti-imperialist sense OF humor, If 1t can
do nothing else.

Object of Post-Check Currency.

st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
The object of the post check currency is
to make the transmission Of money in small
amounts easier and safer than at present
is the case. Bills of the small denomina-
tions would be issued with a blank space
on the face for the name of the payee.
The scheme also includes fractional cur
rency printed in the same way.
Instead of making a journey to the post
office for money order, or inclosing coin
in his letter, with the possibility of its fall
ing out or being stolen, the sender of
money under the new system merely has
TO take a bill from his pocketbook, fill il
out and inclose ii, just if IL were bank
check.
A large number of the leading manufac-
turers and business men of the country are
in favor of the new form of currency Its
creation would injure no one and would
add to the facilities of trade for both seller
and buyer. Congressman should be asked
to support Ii.
Citizens should request their representa-
tives in Congress to see that more con-
venient money is furnished the people.

Representative Overstreet can but be
pleased with the meetings he has addressed
in this district the past week. Without
exception the attendance has been excel
lent and the interest gratifying. Every
where he was received with a cordiality
which proves the respect and good will of
his constituents whether they all vote for
him or not. AS member of the House Mr..
Overstreet has been the efficient and faith
full servant OF all constituents who have in
voked his assistance in personal matters.
The Democratic pensioner has received the
same assistance in getting his claim consid-
cred as has the Republican. In all other
matters OF personal business affecting the
interests of constituents all have received
the best and promptest service Mr.. Over
street could render. 1t can be added that his
influence in the departments enables him to
render as efficient service to his constitu-
ents as any member of the House. In all
things Mr.. Overstreet is the business man
In Congress.
Mr.. Overstreet has the good sense as well
as the natural disposition to make cam
| offend those of the opposite party. He pre-
sents the claims of his own party in clear,
| temperate and convincing statements and
shows the fallacies of his opponents, but
| he is never personal or vindictive. Be-
cause he pursues this method he receives
the respectful attention of Democrats. A
| well and carefully informed man regarding
public questions, he is able TO give his au-
diences information backed by facts.
1t can be truthfully said for Mr.. Over
street that every candid and intelligent
| man IN this district who watches the pro-
ceedings of Congress knows that his rep
| resentative is a man OF commanding in
fuence in the House. He knew this before
| Senator Hanna and Representative Sher-
man came here to tell us that Mr.. Over
street is one of the four five most in
| fluential men in the House. He has used
stituents. The getting of large appropria-
| ton for a public building is a testimonial
to his influence and tact. No man has done
more, and no man could do more, to Sc
cure the establishment of a military post
in this vicinity. In addition to all of his
qualifications for the position he has filled
since 1895 Mr.. Overstreet is known as a
man of strict integrity. He is known to be
manly and Straightforward, and, because
he is so known, he enjoys the confidence and
respect of his constituency, which
strengthens his party and the ticket which
