DASHED TO TIE PAVEMENT.

nivai. Has Narrow Escape.

P. w. Percino, the Aerial Artist of the Car
nivai Has Narrow Escape.
P. w. Percino, an aerial artist who
has been one of the free attractions Of
the street carnival, narrowly escaped
being dashed to death on the pavement
on Main street, Wednesday evening,
and the man received such serious IN
juries that it will be impossible for
him to resume his work in less than
six weeks or two months.
Percino had erected a trapeze forty
feet from the street surface at the cor
ner of Main and Old Main street and
had been performing for half an hour
to crowd estimated at three thousand
people. He is certainly a great per-
former on the trapeze and his work
won the plaudits of the people. The
last act of daring attempted by the
performer was to balance chair on
the trapeze and then after having
b1indfolded himself to drop from the
swing catching by his ankles and
catching the dropping chair in his
balanced the chair and blindfo1ded
himself and made the drop. At the
very instant the man dropped the pole
swayed to one side and instead of
catching with his ankle the man shot
through the air and dropped on his
head and shoulder on the pavement
and man and chair mixed in a general
confusion.
The great crowd watching the dar-
ing feat drew back aghast expecting
to find tke man mangled and fatally
injured. The injured performer was
picked up in an unconscious condition
and taken to the office of DIR. Pugh,
who made an mination of his in
juries and reported that he had suffered
fracture of the left shoulder blade
and had sustained severe bruises. AS
soon as possible the man was removed
to his boarding house on Park street,
where he is now being cared for.
It is probable that it will be many
weeks before he is able to leave the
city aud it will be a long time before
he is able to take up his occupation of
daring again.
Percino is one of the best known
aerial artists in the country and he has
been seen with many of the leading
amusement companies. His home Is
at Wilmington, North Carolina. He is
a member of the fraternal order Of
Eagles at Neenah.

Paper on the Life and Work of Leigh Hunt
Read by Mrs. f. j. Gottfredsen.
A most enjoyable afternoon was
spent by the Woman's Alliance of
Unity church at the home of the min
lister, Rev. Florence Buck, on Tuesday
afternoon. Members Of the society
and their friends assembled to hear an
admira bic presentation Of the life and
work of Leigh Hunt, given by Mrs.
F. ]. Gottfredsen. The paper showed
extensive reading and power ofseizing
on graphic and interesting points in
the life of this English man Of letters.
To the charm of graphic portrayal was
added that of deep appreciation Of the
gentle nature of the writer and his dis
tiDct and original contribution to lit
erature. The several poems quoted in
the paper we're read by Mrs. Gottfred
sen with great expression and added
TO the excellence of the paper. At its
close two of Leigh Hunts most char
acteristic poems we're read by Mrs.
Saunders, and a prose selection by
Miss Murdoch, who also leo the discus
sion which followed. Mrs. "A. S. May,
of London, who is guest of Miss
Buck and Miss Murdoch related sew
eral amusing incidents about Hunt
and spoke approximately of her coun-
tryman and also Of his famous artist
grandson, Holman Hunt.

MORTGAGES IN ZION.
Large Sums are Raised on Dowie's Property
In Mortgages.

Over $350,000in trust deeds or mort
cages against Zion City property are
recorded IN the Lake county court
house in Waukegan. All of them, the
records show, have been given since
1900. The recent reports concerning
the financial status of/Dr. Dowie and
his various Zion City projects have
caused number of creditors to look
into the matter. They have found, it
II said, that most of the Zion land is
lnortgaged.
This is fiat contradiction of DR..
Dowie's statement that Zion never
had borrowed money from the rest of
the world. Several timid creditors, il
is said, at Waukegan, have demanded
payment of their claims. Dowie has
settled with all promptly, however
DR.. Dowie's Ella borate plans for his
lake shore town are requiring vast
sums to carry out, and as a result It is
said that the overseer has borrowed
more or less from all the Waukegan
banks and money lenders.

CAUSED MUCH ALARM
Kenosha Tanner Frightens Women Near
the Racine Cemetery.

Gus Johnson, employed at the Allen
tannery. Kenosha, thought more of his
girl than he did of the Kenosha street
fair, and SO came to Racine yesterday
to see the girl, but he thought still
more of squirrel whiskey" than he
did of the girl, and the result was that
Johnson frightened women near the
cemetery, fell across the street railway
track and into mud puddle, and then
had ride in the patrol wagon, and
this morning paid $40 for all his fun.
The whiskey that Johnson drank IN
Kenosha was too much for him, yet he
decided to come to Racine to visit his
girl. When Johnson reached this
city he walked about and finally ar
rived at Mound cemetery and there
he caused alarm and trouble Taking
a knife from his pocket and opening a
large blade he threatened three ladies,
who were riding in buggy. Their
cries attracted the attention of An
drew Johnson, superintendent of
Mound cemetery, and he telephoned to
the police. The patrol wagon was
sent out and Johnson was found
Laundering in the mud. He was taken
70 Jail and demanded that he be re-
leased, as he had an engagement with
his sweetheart. When the officials re-
fused to release him johnson attempted
to pull down the bars of the cell and
after working for two hours, with his
hands bleeding from cuts from the
bars, Johnson fell to the floor ex-
hausted.-Racine News.

HORSE THIEVES INVADE ZION
Horse and Buggy of r. G. Bit Stolen While
Its Owner Attends Service.

Horse thieves have invaded the sa.
cred precincts of Zion City, and at Ii
O'Clock Wednesday night the Kenosha
police officers were notified that valu-
able horse and buggy belonging to
r. G. Bit had been stolen from the
streets Of Zion. While Bit was at
tending service in one Of the Zion
churches the horse thief went into the
town and managed 10 get far away
with the horse and buggy. It is
thought possible that he went north
with the stolen property, but he has
not been seen in Kenosha. This is
the first case of horse stealing reported
from Dowieville.

There is striking fact about the call
which the Russian car makes for an
antitrust conference in Europe. The
complaint is the low prices at which the
American trusts sell goods in Russia.
This exposes the animus Of the Russian
antitrust movement. The object is to
exclude American trusts from the Euro
pean market. 1t is in line with legisla-
ton against ''bounty-fed'' sugar.
America feeds her trusts, not with boun-
ties, but with protective tariff, SO that
they can sell dear at home and cheap
abroad. This they do. Home consumers
pay high prices for protected American
goods, while foreigners get them for low
prices. But Russia, with the common
but mysterious objection to getting dear
things cheap, will have none of this.
Hence the European antitrust con-
ference.

The editorials which appeared in the
Boston Herald, Kansas City Star, Chi
cago Chronicle, Detroit Free Press, and
several other papers, criticised Mr..
Bryan's editorial commenting on Mr..
Cleveland's speech at the Tilden dinner.
These papers are quite bitter in their
criticism Of Mr.. Bryan's position, but
they are so much milder than the edi-
torials which appeared in the same papers
denouncing Mr.. Bryan in the campaign
of 1896 that he really feels that he must
be rising somewhat in the estimation of
their editors. 1t is not strange that the
papers that went out of the party with
Mr.. Cleveland should desire to transform
the party into Cleveland reorganiza-
t on, but they will not succeed.

CONSUMPTION

is almost as deadly as ever, al
though physicians know they
can cure it generally, beginning
when most of the lungs are
still sound, and even some
times when a great deal of
damage is done.
The people don't know it
yet. They have been told
but they don't believe it; they
don't act on it.
SCOTS emulsion of cod-liver
oil is one Of the principal
means of cure.
There are other helps: dry
air, sunshine, country, sleep,
regular habits, right clothing.

THE BONDS CARRY.

The bond proposition carried at the
election Thursday by eighteen votes
more than the required three. fifths, and
nothing remains but to endeavor to get
the best possible value for the money to
be expended.
The HERALD honestly opposed such an
indefinite appropriation Of public money,
and does not yet believe it to be wise
policy to adopt, but, the election decided
otherwise, and we trust no measures will
be taken to delay a matter that has been
referred to the people, and by them
fully ratified.
The talk of taking the matter into
the courts was, we believe simply
thoughtless talk by some who were dis
appointed at the result of the election.
Unless all matters pertaining to thu ir is
suance the bonds have been done legally
they will not sell, and it will be as we'll
to let the intending purchasers look after
their legality.
To take the matter into the courts now
would only cause useless delay. and,
since the people voted the money, we
would prefer to leave the present city
council 90 ahead with the matter, and
formulate plans for the improvements,
than to take chances on whom might
be elected to succeed them.
The election contains lesson on the
value OF organization on such occasions.
The forces that were to be directly bene-
fitted by the bridge were thoroughly or
ganized, and equipped with the sinews
of war, while the opposition, having no
direct interest beyond that of the gen.
eral walfare of the city, made no attempt
to organize for the campaign. If they
had the result would have been different.

CONGRESS AND CUBA.

Congress, in the opinion OF the best
intelligence and judgement OF the coun-
try, was guilty of one great sin of omis-
mission in failing to live up to the moral
obligation of the United States to do
something for the economic relief Of
Cuba. 1t would have been nothing more
than decent to have admitted all Cuban
crops of the present year to the ports Of
the United States duty free. We had
taken control, and had spent Cuba's re.
Z venues freely in reconstructing matters
according to our own ideas. 1t was due
to our self respect to give the new Cuban
government handsome send.off. Econ
omic prosperity, as every one knew, was
essential both to the success CT Cuba
experiment in home rule and to the es.
Establishment OF permanently satisfactory
relations between Cuba and the United
States. Certain Western agricultural
interests, creditably eager to promote the
development of the American beet-sugar
industry, were used as a cat's-paw by a
designing combination which, in turn,
had power enough at Washington to pre-
vent any action whatsoever. The situa-
ton became very complicated and in
yolved one; but its outlines will be clear
in due time. Then it will be plain
enough to those agricultural interests
which fought against the decent treat
ment Of Cuba on the plea that they were
defending American producers, that they
were playing all the time into the hands
pof those against whom they were in sup
posed antagonism. President Roosevelt
and the administration had mapped out
a policy that was honorable, patriotic,
and best for all true American interests.
The safe and right attitude on this Cuban
question, which in its main features is
in no sense party matter, was to fol-
low the lead of President Roosevelt. 1t
is subjecs that cannot be dismissed or
forgotten. 1t will have to be talked about
through the pending Congressional
campaigns, and it will have to be brought
mp when Congress meets again-From
