Ben H. Kennedy was down

tells some interesting stories OF
the land rushes in that town and
Big Springs last week. At
Stanton no pulling and hauling
out of the line was allowed, but
at Big Springs the sheriff search
ed the crowd and relieved it of
all weapons. They were then
told to make the run and get
there the best they could. One
man made the landing with
nothing on but a pair of suspen-
dars after the crowd got through
with him, but he gathered in
four sections of dry grazing.

Give Him "A Lift.

Give him n lift. Don't kneel in prayer
Nor moralize with his dlspair;
The man is down, and his great need
Is ready help-not prayer and greed
IT'S time, when the wounds are
washed and healed,
That the inward motive be revealed
But now. what'er the spirit be
Mere words are but mockery.
One grain OF aid just now is more
To him than tones OF sanity lore:
Pray. IL you must, In your full heart;
But give him llf-glve him start,
The world is full OF good advice.
OF prayer and praise and preaching
nice.
But the generous souls who aid man
kind.
Are scarce as gold and hard to find.
Give like a Chrlstian-speak in deeds;
A noble Lies the best of creeds:
And he shall wear a royal crown
Who gives 'em lift when they are
down.

SIDED WITH STRIKERS.
Soldiers Used Their influence to Persuade
Workers to Quit-Harksh!ps Endured
by the Strikers Families.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Sept. An
unexpected situation has resulted
from the ordering out of the national
guard to preserve order in the coal
fields. The soldiers, whose sympathy
was all with the strikers from the
first, have used their influence with
the men who are at work and have
persuaded so many of them to join
in the strike that the detachment
stationed at Rush Run had to be re-
called and sent to another point to
keep it from emptying the mine.
Hundreds of families were sleep
ing last night under the skies. It is
estimated that over 1000 families
have been evicted in the New River
valley and most of them had no
place to go. Some had friends and
secured shelter, but the majority are
homeless, without even so much as
a tent to shelter them, and there is
talk of subscription to buy tents
for them. Food is scarce with them
and the condition of the men is pitt
able it the extreme. Some of the
soldiers have even shared their food
provided by the state with the fam
lies of the men who are in the strike
and hungry.

wR EcKED BY A TORNADO.
Three Persons Killed, Four Fatally In
jured and Thirty Four Hurt by Train

Owatonna, Mimi, Sept. 1.-The
wreck on the Chicago & Northwest
ern road, five miles west of here Sat-
urday night, probably was the worst
that has happened in this section of
the state. Three are dead, four are
fatally injured and "a others received
injuries, some of them of a serious
character. Investigation shows that
the storm which wrought such dam
age to the train was but 100 feet in
width. From all reports it is evident
that the engine escaped the fury
of the tornado by but a few feet,
for it remained standing on the
track, while the six coaches in the
train were picked up as if they were
feathers and rolled over and down
the steep embankment. Four of the
coaches caught the full fury of the
storm and were carried much fur
Their than were the other two. In
these four coaches occurred all the
deaths and the majority of the in
jurieS.

Modern Woodmeu OF America Against
Laura C. and HI. ID. Tevis.

ST. Louis, Aug. 30.-An opinion
handed down yesterday in the United
States court of appeals in the case
of the Modern Woodmen of Amer
lea against Laura c. Tevis and II. d.
Tevis, defined the bylaws of benefit
associations as equivalent to the
conditions set out in ordinary insur-
ance policies and that clerks of
lodges are bound by them. A benefit
certificate was issued W. W. Tevis
en March 81, 1899. The monthly as
sessment was due August 1 of the
same year. Tt was not paid prompt
ly and Tevis died on August 10. The
clerk of the lodge to which Tevis
belonged had been in the habit of
receiving assessments which were as
much as 20 days overdue. The by
laws provided positively that certiti-
Gates lapsed if payments were not
promptly made.
Judges Sanborn. Thayer and Loeb
rem concurring, the court decided
that benefit associations may limit
the authority of their agents" and.
therefore, reversed the decision Of
the lower court.

DAN PATcR's GREAT RACE.
At Narrasansett Park the Unbeatep
Son of Joe Patchen Paced
Mile in 1850 1-2.

Providence, r. l., Aug. 31.-The
Grand circuit meeting at Narragan-
sett park was brought to a close in
the proverbial blaze of glory. Dan
Patch, the unbeaten son of Joe
Patchen, paced an exhibition mile in
1:59Hs, reducing his record from
2:O0N. The mile was within a quar-
ter of a second of the worlds record
Of 1894, made by Star Pointer at
Readville, five years ago. This is the
fastest mile in harness in half a
decade, and Dan Patch is the second
horse to beat two minutes. No other
horse except Star Pointer ever went
so fast and he did it only twice. Star
Pointer also went once in 1894, so
this is the third time a horse ever
beat two minutes.

A Fierce Prairie Fire.

Guthrie, Ok, Sept. IA fierce
prairie fire was reported in the vicin-
ity of NARROW, I. T., near the Okla
home boundary, which ragged all yes
terday, destroying everything in its
path. The farmers and stockmen
turned out more than 100 strong to
fight the flames, which, when night
came, were finally stopped by
counter-fires. One hundred and fifty
tons of hay and several fields of
growing corn were consumed. A
strong north wind gave the fire great
headway.
