SAVES A CHICAGO
PASSENGER TRAIN
Brave Young Man Flags 1t Just In
Time to Prevent a Terrible
Disaster.

Special to The Globe.
WINONA, Mimi, Sept. 2O.-While on
their way to a dance early this evening
a team driven by Fred and John An
derson ran away near Stockton, Mimi,
throwing the two Andersons and their
female companions who were with
them in the carriage to the ground. One
of the men and one of the women were
badly injured.
The horses ran down the North
Western track half a mile n fell
through a trestle, becoming stranded.
The fast Chicago passenger on the
North Western was soon due, and
Fred, who was uninjured, ran to a
farm house, secured a lantern n re-
turned just in time to flag the heavily
loaded passenger train which was com
ing down the heavy grade toward the
horses at a rate of over sixty miles an
hour. The pilot of the engine was but
two feet from the horses when the
train came to a standstill.
There is a ffty-foot embankment at
the place where the train was COM
PEELED to stop. Over $50 passengers
were on the train, which was delayed
nearly an hour, during which time a
large sum of money was collected from
the passengers and presented to Fred
for his bravery in saving the train.

ERVANT GIRLS
SCARCE AND HIGH
Farmers Can Secure None and the
Girls Get 81 a Week at Mus
eatine, Iowa.

Special to The Globe.
MUSCATINE, Iowa, Sept. 20.-Farm-
ers in this vicinity are almost driven
to distraction over the servant girl
problem. The girls living on the farms
are all in such prosperous homes that
they do not need to work for their
neighbors, and in Muscatine all the
girls who want to make money find
employment in the pearl button fac
tories, which is both pleasant and re-
m~unerative.
A well-to-do farmer came to town
today badly discouraged. He says he
wants to do his fall farm work, but
his wife is i'll and not able to do the
homework. He has driven the coun-
cry over to hire a girl, but cannot find
any one who will do housework. Now
he proposes to solve the problem by
doing the homework himself and hir-
ing girls to cut the corn and do the
other outside work. Seven dollars a
week Is the prevailing wages in Mus
catine for servant girls.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-The specula-
tive calm which settled over the Board
Of Trade following the recent decision
of the court in the oats injunction
suits bids fair to be broken by a gale
which is said to be gathering force in
the offices Of Armour & Co.. Troubled
conditions have already appeared on the
surface of the wheat pit, which lies di-
rectly in the path of the oncoming
storm, and traders are a%nxiously
watching to see what will happen.
Armour & Co. are said not only to
own practically all the cash contract
wheat in this market, but to hold con-
tracts calling for the delivery of many
million of bushels of the cereal this
month. The situation is pointed out
as being a most uncomfortable n for
the shorts, who, 1t appears, have the
choice of doing only one of two things
either covering their contracts in the
pit, with the penalty of paying a high
er price for the wheat thar that at
which they sold it. or, falling back on
the precedent established by the shorts
in the July oats "deal," resorting to
the courts.
September wheat today was rather
excited, selling at one time as high as
75B cents, or ore f~ive-eighths of a
cent. higher than she close yesterday.
The advance was ;iue to the scarcity Of
offerings and the anxiety of shorts to
cover. It closed at 75B cents.

reached ITO, and ninsEy of these have
been identified. A large majority of the
victims of the stampede were residents
of Birmingham.
Physicians express the opinion that all
of the injured will recover, though some
are in. a critical condition. The Rev. l..
r. Price, of New Orleans, whose lame
appears in the list of dead, was worship
full grand master Of the grand lodge OF
negro Masons of Louisiana. He was In
charge of q train of delegates from
Louisiana, and was well knSwn through
out the United States. Dr., Price lost his
life In an effort to a several women
who were being crushed to death. Three
times he fought his way into the build
ing and brought out three women. The
fourth time he was caught in the rush
and before he could extricate himself was
borne to the floor OF the church and died
Of S~uffocation.
Sarah Pritton, of New orleans, whose
name also appears in the list OF dead, was
well known as an active missionary
worker.
Judge j. H. Baleau, the lawyer, who
is said to nave prscipitated the panic by
engaging in an alteration with Hicks,
the choir leader, has been arrested and
is charged with disturbing public wor-
ship. Booker II. Washington has received
the following telegram from PRESIDENT
Roosevelt:

When within thirty yards of the
landing place the animal seemed to
grow tired, and Albert Nelson, assisted
by his brother Gus, lifted Hughes into

and faithful Jumbo was obliged to
carry his human cargo to terra firma.
He did it without f1inching.
When the boys reached shore they
soon revived. A farmer who witnessed
the rescue, tool all the boys to his
home and dried their clothes and fed
them. During the afternoon they left
for home, none the worse for their
ducking.
AS they were parting at White Bear
avenue and Vassar street, Albert Mel
son said:

HAS NO USE FOR
TARIFF REVISION
But the Secretary of the Treasury
Does Dote on the Idea of
Reciprocity.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-As an opponent
of tariff revision n as an advocate Of

Leslie M. Shaw spoke to a great crowd
in Mason park tonight. The secretary
was the magnet which drew thousands

disappointed many in that he did not

meut of the issues which were so closely
knit into the resignation of the speaker
of the house.
A point which seemed to find favor
with the crowd was that offered by Sec
rotary Shaw when he quoted from the
defied anyone to find in the entire speech
anything that would indicate that Mr..
Mckinley had the faintest leaning toward
toward tariff revision. Among Mr.. Shaw'S
words were these:
1--WE a now a surplus of manu-
features as well as food products and
is what shall We do with it? For the
more common articles of manufacture,
product of the loom and the spindle, we
have them; for if the ability Of our peo-
pie to consume should be materially
checked either by prolonged and acri-
monious tariff agitation or by failure
of crops we will be confronted with a
surplus, and labor will again seek en-
ployment in vain. I am simply making
as strong an argument as l am able to
formulate in favor Of swapping trade
privileges.
st sincerely believe 1t is the part of
business wisdom to make to the people of
Cuba, not a present of 20 or rs per cent
reduction, but an exchange of reductions.
1t is proposed hat the people of the
United States have an advantage over

tabIishes a Home.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Sept.
90.-The will of the late w. S. Strait
ton was filed for probate this after
noon. He leaves 81, 900, 900 to build the

WATERLOO, Iowa, Sept. 2o.-It was
fear of defeat at the polls thai caused
Speaker Henderson to desert his party
and leave his ticket in the midst Of the
campaign and after he had accepted
the nomination for congress and filed
his nomination papers with the sec
rotary of state. All other theories OF
his dramatic and sensational with
drawal are imaginary. Hendersons
position on tariff revision was the real
cause of that fear and he told the
he could not remain in the field op-
posed by a large portion of his party
because he was not in sympathy with
their tariff revision ideas.

in conversation that Speaker Hen
derson really made up his mind to
withdraw from the race while he was
on the train going to his home in Du-
buque, from his meeting with the COM
mitteemen of this district in Water
loo, last Saturday. Speaker Hender-

Col. Henderson was emphatic and it
was easy to see that he was greatly
wrought up over the situation. Col.
Chaser ~endeavered to persuade him
that the outlook was not so dark as he
fancied it, but Henderson would not
be convinced.
On Monday the speaker sent for Col.
CHASER and together they canvassed
thoroughly the reports which had been
brought in by their committeeman.
They were not encouraging. Waterloo

ment, but it was found that scarcely a
precinct in the whole district was free
from it. Col. CHASER and his chief re-
manned together in the speakers room

withdraw from the ticket was finally

VIENNA, Sept. 2o.-Max Staudinger,

months Imprisonment for having forged
a certificate of marriage of Archduke
Ernst, who died in 1888, and Laura Won
Skublitz, who was afterward the Baron
ess Wallburg.
The evidence adduced failed to prove
that the archduke legally married Laura
Won Skublitz, but it appears to be prob
able that he did so. The present Baron
Wallburg, who is now a waiter in the
Cafe New York at Buda Pest, Is the
a~rchduke's child. Staudinger's connec-
ton with the Wallburgs was the result Of
his seeing the baron's child begging
bread. He found hat the family of the
~archduke's son were starving, and a de-
sire to assist them appears to have led
to the forgery.

A large st. Bernard dog, assisted by
his little masters, Gus and Albert Mel
son, saved the lives of three boys at
Long lake yesterday morning. Had it
not been for the efforts of the faithful
animal at least two Of the lads would
have met death in the cold water of
the lake.
A raft on which Albert Hanley, Will
lie Hughes and John Peterson were
rowing capsized about 200 feet from
shore, throwing all the youngsters
into the water. None could swim, and
it was only through the heroic efforts
of the other two boys, who were in a
boat near by, and the untiring work
Of the dog that the lads were saved
from a watery grave.
Yesterday the five boys left their
homes in the, vicinity of White Bear
avenue and Vassar street to spend the
day fishing on Long lake, which is
located about three miles northeast of
the city on the White Bear road.
Raft Capsizes.
The Nelson boys own a cat boat, but
the other lads were obliged to build a
raft in order to get out to the fishing
beds. While rowing out into the lake
young Hughes walked to the right of
the raft, overbalancing it. In a mo-
ment the other end arose into the air,
and three boys were thrown unex-
pectedly into the cold water.
Of the little fellows none could swim.
Hughes and Peterson clutched a piece
of the raft, which had broken. The
Nelson boys were about twenty feet
away from the raft when the accident
occurred. With them in their boat was
a large st. Bernard dog called Jumbo.
Albert Nelson, who Is fourteen years
Of age, could swim. He at once
changed the course of his boat to the
scene Of the wreck. While his brother
rowed Albert undressed, quickly dof-
fling his scanty garments.
Then he dived into the water, telling
his little brother to steer the boat.
Jumbo, the dog, saw him jump. He
arose from the bottom of the boat, took
one glance about him, as if to ascer-
tain the condition of affairs before en-
tering into the battle for the rescue Of
lives. 1t was only a second before the
dog had followed his master into the
water.
Heroic Struggle in Water.
Little Albert Hanley was picked UP
by young Nelson and with great diff
Guilty dragged to the boat. He could
not swim. Several times he attempted
to grasp his rescuer around the neck,
but Nelson, realizing the danger, kept
him from doing so, as it might have
proved fatal to both.
Hanley was safely landed in the boat.
Then Nelson returned for the two other
boys. But they had disappeared. The
plank to which they chung had slipped
from their grasp and f1oated away.
The boys sank from sight beneath
the chilly water. Where they had been
a moment before, Jumbo was SWIM
ming as if in search Of the missing
lads. He would not move far from the
spot, but kept swimming in an ever
narrowing circle.
The next moment the wisdom Of his
action was plain, for both boys APP
peared, first Hughes and then Hanley.
They were but a few feet apart. Jumbo
barked loudly to attract their attention
and the lads understood his offer of as
~siStance.
