BLACK NANNY
Saves the Lives of Twin Babies by
incubation.
She Promptly Resorts to the Range
Oven, and After Three Weeks
Test, All Is Well.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct 5.-That an
oven makes a good baby incubator. has
been proved by the fact that the twin
babies of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Simmons
have been put in an oven for period
of three weeks, during which thell
lives seemed to hang by thread.
The infants were born three weeks
ago. One weighed three and one-hali
and the other three pounds. Each was
twenty-six inches long and girl.
The physician declared it was practi
cally impossible to keep life in the
two frail little bodies, but said II
might be possible to nurse them to
strength and life If an incubator could
be procured at once.
OF course. there was none to be had
Immediately, but black nanny who
attended the mother of the infants
said she would try the oven. Accord
ingly the range oven was fitted up as
an incubator and the tiny infants
were laid in the funny baby house,
which was carefully watched night
and day and the heat kept the same
temperature. For three weeks the
little girls lay in their basket inside
the oven. Now they are gaining
strength and vitality every day and
soon will be strong enough to lie by
their mothers side.

TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
Wesley Werden Didn't Like the Evi
dence Against Him.

Wesley Werden, colored, on trial in
the Circuit Court Monday on charge
of assault with intent to kill, took un'
expected leave at noon and has not been
heard of since.
Werden listened with close attention
to the evidence given by the first eight
witnesses for the state. And it is said
he heard that new witness had been
summoned by the state who would give
evidence conclusive against him.
Thinking therefore that discretion was
the better part of valor he slipped out
during the confusion of the noon ad
journment and made good his escape.
He was under bond for $3.50.
Charles Jones, col was the defend
ant in the first case on trial Tuesday.
He is charged with malicious shooting
and intent to commit murder. The
trouble arose at crap game. when
Jones fired three shots at one Jim Tay-
lor, also colored. This case was given
to the jury Tuesday and they
returned a verdict for malicious shoot
ing. and gave sentence of two years
In the penitentiary.
The cure of the State vs.. Charles
Basket, charged with assault with
intent to commit murder, was called
next. Basket is charged with shoot
ing Richard Lee, on Dec. "a, 1901.

PADGETT ON THE TARIFF
Column biap Tells Crossville People
Some Truths.

Crossville, Tenn, Oct. 6.-Hon. L..
P. Padgett spoke here SATURDAY. He
drove through from Monterey, reach
ing here about 10 clock, and was
compelled to leave on the west bound
train at AS, hence only mad few
minutes to address the people. But
the thirty minutes he spoke was
crowded with an excellent and logical
Democratic speech. In a plain man
ner he showed how the protective tariff
was robbing the laborer of greater
part of his daily earnings; how 1t
favored the classes and was an enemy
to the masses. and in closing Mr.. Pad-
gett used several illustrations that evil
IDENTITY brought home to the Republi
cans present the fact that the tariff,
while it keeps out foreign competition.
also securely shuts the American people
in. He showed that our manufac-
turers are selling their products in
England cheaper than here; that the
binder will cost $3.50 in the United
States, but across the Rio Grande and
in Mexico they charge $50 for the same
binder; typewriters sold here for 500
are put on the foreign market by our
manufacturers for $50.

In reversing damage suit against
the Illinois Central Railroad Company
for an assault upon a man and his wife
while waiting for train at Central
City, the Appellate Court says: AT
such stations the railroad is only re-
quired to have it's waiting room open
thirty minutes before train time, and
IS not required to furnish an inn fol-
persons to go into hours before the
tram is due to arrive.
Several people have offered coal
mines to the government free, to be
mined and used as long as the coal
strike lasts. That is not bad way
to fight the trust, but a better way
still would be to give the mines to
the anthracite miners and make Them
self reliant. Independent producers.
The title to the land should not pass
simply the right or privilege to dig
the coal and sell it; and that privilege
should not be transferable. The best
way to do charity Is to help man
help himself. Instead OF doing out to
a man mere pittance Of cold victuals,
give HIM or help him find employ
ment, that he may make a living for
himself. Help him to make out OF
the beggar that he is, man OF him
self.

The fertility of cultivated soils in irrigated regions is further assured by the deposiLc of silt brought upon the land with irrigation water The problems of fertilization, which become so serious in humid sections, are therefore of much less importance here and not to be so carefully recllored with in connection with th' ture of our agriculture.
