Just as the train was pulling over the
bridge a telegraph pole fell on a car

pole stood about 10 feet from the first
abuttment of jhe bridge.
The telegraph wires being coated
with ice was too much of "a strain on
the pole and it gave way. Had the
pole fallen ON the track in front of a

of life might have been the result. AS
it was no one was injured except fire

a broken wire.
The accident occurred about mid

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the

loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate

10 LIGHTS TUESDAY NIGHT.
Jae Electric LIGHT Company has
very little trouble and all that has
been Strengthened out. Nearly all of
tine light wires a1e crossed with tele-
phone wires and the turning on of the
current would be very dangerous.
when the wires began to fall Monday
night the incandescent current was
cut off, the arc lights were shut off
early in the evening.
on account Of the ICY condition of
the poles it was impossible this after
noon to climb them and clear the light
wires of the other wires, so that they
still remain crossed.
Under the present condition it
would be exceedingly hazardous to
turn on even the incandescent current
aud the Mayor and the Manager OF
tie J. ieht plant conferred and it was
decided that it would be safer not to
turn on that lights night.
NO COMMUNICATION.
All communication with the outside
world is cut off. The Western Unior
wires are down and are out of service,
and all messages are being accepted
subject to delay.
The G. q p. telephone cable across
the river is down and the long distance
line is out of use.

The new commissioner of pension.

The new commissioner of pensions.
Colonel Eugene F. Ware, of Kansas,
owes his appointment
THE chiefly to his friendly
TASK personal relations with
OF the president. But the
MIR. WARE. Philadelphia r c o d
thinks that whether he
will continue to regard his selection as
a friendly act after a years experience
in the office is a matter for specula-
ton" The new official is of New Eng
land birth, and he served his country
in the civil war, remaining in the regu-
lar army for some time after the close
of the sectional conflict. He is one
of the notable lawyers of Topeka, and
although he has been active in politics,
and served a term in the state senate,
he has not been an office seeker. He
is regarded as not only an able man,
but also as high minded and scrupulous
in political as we'll as in private life.
Many years ago, as "Ironquill," he
published a book or two of verse,
written much on legal subjects Some
of his poems were doggerel, but others
showed both a keen appreciation of the
ridiculous and an enviable gift of ex-
preston. 1t is long since his verses
could be found on the book counter,
and the person who picks up at a sec
ond hand store a worn and dusty vol
ume of "Ironquill'' will consider him
self fortunate and will find no small
degree of pleasure in the refreshing
views of life and often the genuinely
funny lines which the poems offer.
| AS commissioner of pensions Colonel
Ware will find great use for his sense
of humor. Indeed, no other public po-
sition could be more trying to a man
who takes life always seriosuly. than
the office which is the particular object
of constant attention and criticism to
hundreds of thousands of veteran SOL
diers. Colonel Ware is unfortunat in
the circumstances of his appointment.
His immediate predecessor had long
been unsatisfactory TO a colsidera bic
element of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and General Sickles had led "a
prolonged and bitter campaign for his
removal. Although ne was promised
what is regarded as more important
post, there is no doubt that the dis
satisfied veterans rejoice over the
change as a victory. Therefore they
will naturally expect from the new
commissioner a policy more in accord
with their sentiments and demands

lican telling of the hot winds in Kan
sas and the prayers for
THE rain in that state. in
DROUTH. Gicate that the drouth
from which the middle
west has suffered for more than year
is growing in intensity. Hot winds AT
this season of the year-even in the
prairie states-are phenomenal. In
Texas and Arkansas the suffering has
become so acute in some sections that
appeals have been made to eastern
cities for aid. In Missouri the lack of
moisture has worked immense loss to
agriculture, and throughout the Mis-
sissippi valley the outlook as Il whole
is anything but promising. Timely
rains. of course, may save the wheat
crop, and this may yet be a good year
for corn, but the outlook is not en-
coura ging just now. Arizona ranch
men who are inclined TO complain of
the dry weather, should be thankful
that their situation is SO much better
than that of the western farmers gem
orally.
Should the existing drouth continue
well into the coming summer, it would
be Impossible to estimate it's effect on
the country's business. The dry
weather Of last year is chiefly respons-
ible for the reduction Of SO millions in
exports and the increase ont 10 millions
in imports, according to the treasury
bureau of statistics. Corn has become
so important a factor in our export
trade, both in it's natural state and in
the condensed form of beef and pork,
that a loss of one-fourth or one-third
of the enormous crop means a great
reduction in the surplus. In the last
four years the expectation of corn has
averaged about 200 million bushels per
annum. In the present fiscal year it
will not amount to one-fifth of that
quantity. In the nine months ending
with March, 1902, the expectation of
corn amounted to only "a million bush
els, against AS million bushels in the
corresponding months of last year.
1neSe are the preliminary HSureS DuI
they do not differ much from the COM
pieted figures which we shall have n
fortnight hence. The value Of the
corn and corn meal exported in the
past nine months was but Is million
dollars, against IS millions in the corre-
spending months of the preceding year.
But that is not all of the effect of the
loss of the corn crop. The shortage
of corn at home has compelled many
farmers to use a larger share of oats
in the feed of their live stock, and as a
result the value of the expectation of
oats and oatmeal in the nine months
just ended was but AZ millions, against
912 millions in the same months of last
year. In these two items of corn and
oats, in which the reduction is wholly
due to the drouth of last year. the ex-
portations have fallen 81 million dol
lars while the total reduction in the
value of all exports is but 80 millions.

the laws more literally. if that should
be practicable, there are many of the
complaining veterans who could not be
reduced to silence except by a complete
change in the system and in the boards
of examiners. 1t is significant that
Corporal Tanner, himself one of the
confirmed agitators, could not retain
his popularity among his fellows when
he was charged with the responsibility
of carrying out the provisions of the
laws as commissioner.
1t is to be hoped that Colonel Ware
has not wholly severed his relations
with the muse. but that when the
storms of passion shall beat against the
pension office he will be able to compose
his mind by the manufacture of anus
ing verse. 1t is probable. however,
that after some experience as target
his lines will reveal a degree of cyni-
cism which has been lacking in his
earlier efforts.

Congressional or senatorial eulogies

Congressional or senatorial eulogies
of departed statesmen seldom draw
popular attention for
VEST more than a moment.
ON but more than the
HAMPTON. usual amount of public
interest has been at
tracted by the tribute which Senator
Vest paid to the memory of Wade
Hampton in the senate few days ago.
One reason. proba bly,, is because of the
general recognition that Vest himself
is a very old man, and that his days
such high honors are numbered. In
feeble health during the past few years.
he has seldom addressed his fellow SEN
ators. and the close attention paid him
denoted the affectionate regard in
which he is held by senators of both
parties. Beyond the interest attached
to one of Vests farewell speeches,
however, his we'll balanced eulogy of
the great South Carolinian was rarely
eloquent
Contrasted with the fulsome stuff of
which funeral oratioDs are ordinarily
composed, this extract from Vest de-
scription of Hampton is model of
sincerity and simplicity:
1 knew him well and loved him sin
cerely. He was the highest type OF d
Christian gentleman-patient., brave,
honest and unselfish. He was not de-
by prosperity. Having lost all, except
life and honor, ne bowed submissively
to the result of a great war, in which
he shared the fortunes of his people.
He never uttered one vindictive word ,
he never gave any wild advice to the
peoplt who were suffering all the hor-
rors of reconstruction, and who only
needed his advice to dare again the ut
most that fate could do against them,
rather than submit to the ills they had.
He commenced his public life as a
very young member of the legislature
of South Carolina, by daring to face
an overwhelming sentiment in his own
state, in denunciation of the infamous
slave trade, which hot-headed men
sought again to open. Afterward he
found it his duty to again oppose the
w III VI Ills peOplS uPOil d great llidIlSldl
question, but he did it without hesita-
ton, and faced political death. almost
certain. as he had often upon the
battlefield faced death in defense OF
| what he believed to be right.
Wade Hampton was indeed a brave
man, and at no time in his career did
he exhibit greater bravery and force OF
character tim when he turned his ba cL,
on political friends and associates of a
lifetime rather than follow democracy
in the worship of strange gods in the
wake of Tillman and Bryan. He dis
agreed with his old comrade and friend,
George Vest, and nobody was in a bet
| ter position than the Missouri senator
| to testify to the greatness of the South
Carolina leader of the old southern
aristocracy.
