Mr.. Levers Scrap Book.

Washington correspondence News
and Courier: Representative Lever is
compiling a novel "scrap book" This
scrap book, or album, is to contain the
photograph and biographies of all Mr..
Levers namesakes. Since his entrance
into public life, and especially since his
election to congress last summer, Mr.:
Lever has been honored with a large
number Of namesakes. In each case
the parents have sent Mr.. Lever a pic
ture Of his namesake, whereupon "the
Baby of the House" has replied with a
suitable remembrance. Owing, how
ever, to the already large number of
namesakes and their rapid increase, it
may De necessary before long for H1r
Lever to confine his remembrances 10
public documents or packages of seeds
In the ''scrap book" already are pic
lures of over a dozen babies, some
bearing the full name. "Asbury Fran
els Lever" others only one of the con-
gresSman's names. Across the cov"r
of his scrap book Mr.. Lever has writ
ten this significant phrase, Whats in
q name?"

THE Washington correspondent OF
The News and Courier states that since
his Charleston trip. President Roose-
Welt will "listen to the suggestions" OF
Judges Simonton and Brawley and Mr.
j. C. Hemphill in the matter OF MAX
ing Federal appointments in South Car
olina. If this be true. it is safe to as
sumo that The News and Courier Will
become more tolerant Of the distribu-
tors Of Republican patronage" and
maybe it will come to think that after
all Teddy is a pretty good fellow, not
only socially, but politically also. Lit
tie things of this kind very often have
a wonderfully "softening" effect.

MERE-MENTION.

Attorney General Knox has arranged
to investigate the beef trust. Two
lieutenants and min. British blue jack
cts were killed by the bursting Of a
12-inch gun on the battleship Mars,
near Queenstown, last Tuesday.......A
Methodist pastor at Laconia, Iowa,
committed suicide a few days ago be-
cause of his inability to secure larger
attendance at his church meetings. q.
The russian minister Of the interior
was assassinated at st. Petersburg last
Tuesday by an anarchist, disguised as
a soldier. Tomas Estrada Palma,
president Of Cuba, left New York
on Wednesday to return to his native
country after long years of exile.
Thomas Taggart, Democratic execu-

THE government has a new fight on
it's hands in one Of the Philippine is
lands that has heretofore been reason
ably peaceable. The trouble is with
the Moros, of Mindano. Two soldiers
were attacked on March Is, while en-
gagged in a reconnaissance. One was
killed and the other got away. The at
tacking party consisted of half a dozen
Moros, and according to General Chat
fee, it was without provocation on the
part Of the soldiers. Since then de-
mand has been made for the surrender
of the Moros, and no attention has
been paid TO the demand, According
ingly a force of 1000 men mas been sent
to mete out punishment. AS yet there
has been no information as to the re-
suit of the expedition.

heart the same objection. There are
good personal reasons for objecting to
this manner of selecting senators, and
there are good political reasons. AS a
matter of fact, except in the few south
ern states where there is but one party
and all whites participate in the pri-
maries there would be but little differ
ence in results under the proposed new
system from the results that are OBJ
tained now. Senatorial candidates
would be nominated in state conven-
tions, which are usually as representa-
tive as state legislatures. Of course,
deadlocks would be avoided and possi-
bly, also there would be less bribery.
So far as the present proposition Is
concerned, however. there is little use
for further discussion. The DepeW
force bill idea will no doubt dispose Of
the question until another time.

the quarrel and the malice of Lindsay,
pointed out how Lindsay knew that
his victim was to pass certain spot at
certain time, and went around to
head him off. 1t was probably true
that the victim had fired first; but
then it was in defense Of his own life.
Lindsay had been the aggressor all the
way through, and instead of a case of
probable self-defense, 1t was clearly
a case of murder.

THE object # the force bill amend
ment that Senator Depew has tackled
on the resolution looking to consti-
tutional amendment providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people, is evidently TO defeat the
whole scheme. There is no doubt of
the fact that most of the Republican
senators are opposed to the idea Of
electing senators by popular vote, and
if there was any way to get at the
facts, it would probably be found that

ANOTHER CUTTING SCRAPE
Joe Phipps' Jugular Has
Close Call.
QUARREL OVER A CARD GAME

Man Who Did the Cutting Was a
Stranger and Disappeared Soon
After the Affray-Stranger's Hand
Also Cut.
What came very close to being sec
ond edition of the sensation Of ten days
ago when George Hodges, oolored had
his throat cut from ear to ear, took place
in the city Saturday night, and Joe
Phipps, the oolored hostler, was the VIC
tim, his assailant being stranger who
has been working on the gas line ex-
cavations who claimed Battle Greek as
his home. Phipps' throat was cut and
the knife used to do the cutting barely
missed severing his jugular Sein.
The trouble grew out of game of
cards in which three were engaged. II
is said that Phipps won some OF the
strangers money and that the stranger
then asked him to set up the drinks.
This Phipps refused to do and his re-
fu sal drew some hot words from the
stranger, for which he was struck by
Phipps. The stranger then drew q
knife and in the scrimmage the oolored
mans throat was cut and the hand OF
the stranger also sustained severe cut.
Thinking that he had cut Phipps fatally
the stranger gathered up his personal
belongings and left the city by the
shortest possible route.
Phipps bled freely from his wound,
but after having it dressed by physi-
clan is in fair way to recover unless
blood poisoning sets in. He was able 10
be about as usual this morning and ap-
peared to be very we'll fixed financially
as new suit of clothes and new hat
adorned his person. His physician
says that if the cut had been quarter
of al inch deeper Phipps' jugular vein
would have been severed and he might
have bled to death.
No arrests have yet been made in con.
nection with the trouble. Both parties
to the fight are probably very willing
that it should be allowed to go by de.

a Modern Ursus.

A dispatch from Fremont says
Frank Uehling, son of Louis Uehling, O
well known farmer residing in Logan
township, in this county, has equalled
the feat performed by Ursus, as related
in "Quo Vadis."
Young Uehling and his two brothers
were driving number of bulls along
the road, when one of the animals broke
into cornfeld.
Uehling pursued the bull and became
separated from his brothers. After run
ming some distance, the angry animal
suddenly turned and charged upon the
young man.
Uehling had no weapons and there
was no time to run. He grasped the
bull by the horns and an exciting strug.
gle took place.
When his two brothers came running
to the scene, they found that Frank had
succeeded in throwing the bulland W as
sitting on the neck of the PROSTATE ami
NAL, awaiting their arrival.
The bull was not injured, although it
was evidently much surprised.

Reason for the Alarm,

The fire company is as often called for
imaginary dangers as real ones. A
bucket of water often extinguishes the
fire before their arrival. Their duty to
be at the fire is never questioned.
To those in front of the blaze ON the
hill Thursday at the time the alarm
was turned in the danger seemed i'm
minent. The roaring of the flames, the
smoke, and the wind coming with such
velocity as to give the appearance of
the fire being in the oornfield directly
adjoining the barns. Had it been
there the time spent in 'ascertaining the
cause" would have been fatal to the
barns and horses.
The property owners thank the fire
company for the prompt response and
assure them that under the same cir.
cumstances they would receive another
call Notwithstanding the "cost ot the

He lies in q Denver hospital in dan.
gerous condition from wounds received
at town west of Colorado's chief city.
1t will be remembered that an exhibit
tion was given by him in Norfolk some
time ago. The story Of how he received
his injuries is told by special under
date Of September 2S:
prof. Moxie, the hypnotist, was shot
and fatally wounded last night in Harry
Downs gambling rooms by man by
the name of Harry Gates of Sioux
Oity, Iowa. 1t seems that Gates made
some remarks in regard to Prof.
Moxie's wife, who 1t is claimed by
MoXle, ls at TT. Washlkie, Wyo..
Moxie slapped Gates face then drawing
knife told Gates that he was going to
kill him if he did not take back his
words, Gates apologized and left the
room but returned in few minutes
and fired two shots ut Moxie, one taking
effect in his left shoulder aud the second
through his hip. Little hope is enter
tanned of his recovery. Gates has fled
and has not yet been captured. Prof.
Moxie seems to be perfect gentleman,
Neither Of the men were under the in
iuence of liquor"
1t seems that Mrs. Millner has but
just learned of the condition of her hus-
band, who it is feared cannot live long,
and took this mornings train to be at
his bedside, doing what she can for he
who defended her at his own loss.
