REMARKABLE CASE.
A hoy Remains Under Water 25 Min
utes and Is ReauscItated.

Washington, July 1s.-Superinten-
dent KimbalI, of the life saving serv-
ice, has received a report from Capt
Ludlam, of the Hereford Inlet life
saving station, at Anglesea, y. j., Of
the remarkable resuscitation of Stan
ley S. Holmes, Il 5-year-old boy, after
he had been under water 2j minutes.
Capt Ludlam reported that July
), during a squall in the harbor, Will
liam b. Holmes and his child were
overturned in the water and that the
boy sank, remaining under water not
less than 25 minutes before the life
saving crew of the Hereford station
were able to secure the apparently
dead body. Within four hours after
the body was removed from the wa
ter the child regained consciousness.
superintendent Nmball received af-
fidavits from the father of the child,
from Miss Margaret Mace, medical
student, and Mary j. Hook, trained
nurse, substantiating TO the fullest
degree the statements of Capt. Lud-
lam. The opinion of most of these
people is that the child had been I'M
der water fully 80 minutes when
taken out, and all are certain that

with James Harvey, Mrs. Harvey, her
seven-year-old daughter and another
arrived in the harbor last night on
a schooner, having been capsized
from their boat about five miles
southeast of Richmond Island on the
Maine coast. The party started some
ten days ago to cruise about the
shore of Maine. Wednesday they left
Popham Beach to come home and had
got as far as Richmond Island when
the heavy lead shoe on the keel of
the boat dropped off and the sloop
turned over bottomside up. Mrs. Har-
vey and her daughter were the most
helpless, and the men assisted them
in holding to the bottom of the Aph-
rodite until assistance came. None
of the party was injured.

Cedar Rapids Gazette, Mr.. kenderi1ne

lecturers. He is merely state consul,
elected by the state camp-a purely
honorary Office and he holds no COM
mission at ALL
"The statements made by Mr.. Grean
at this time can't be substantiated,"
continued Mr.. Kenderline. "He says
that the ban is mathematically cor
rect. Then there is no need of dis
cussing the assessment. Under the
present system, we excuse all the old
men alike, whether they are able to
pay the adequate costs of assessment
or not, and cast the burden upon the
young men.
Under the proposed plan each man
would bear the burden of the exact
cost of his own insurance, and then it

the measure and it is going to be ex-
ceedingly difficult to select just the
proper department to be put under
this new head. The minute that one
clique decide that certain depart
ment should be put in the new one
another decides that it is not proper.
For instance the, labor organizations
are opposing the proposition to put the
department of labor under the new
head. The President has appointed a
committee from the different depart
ments of the government to confer
with the house committee. of which
Mr.. Hepburn is chairman
Mr.. Hepburn himself does not ap-
pear to take any particular pleasure
or interest in the bill but he remarked
that the matter seems to lie very close
to the heart of the President Mr..
Roosevelt undoubtedly wishes to put
Secretary Cortelyou at the head of the
new department
The Cuban Question.
The Cuban question is also on hand
with its complications. The President
is having enough difficulty in persuad-
ing certain congressman and senator's
that there should be reciprocity
treaty and on top of all this what
should Cuba do but show. an inclina-
ton to hold off little herself. The
President is very much displeaseda to
find that certain Influences have been
at work in Cuba to attempt to dis
suade her that she needs to negotiate
any reciprocity treaty with the United
States. 1t is attempted to persuade
Cuba that Europe will take all aher
sugar crop without asking anything in
return and the new republic shows
itself susceptible to such pretty
story.

Against the Scheme Which Will
Prevent Young Men From Joining
Modern Woodmen.

Jerry Green, who is known in OF
tumwa as a lecturer on Odd Fellow
ship and Woodcraft, while in Cedar
Rapids this week consented to be in
terviewed on the. proposed step-rate
plan of the Modern Woodmen in
which the assessment rate increases
yearly to the extent that it would
make it prohibitive for old men.
What will it do for the young
menu he was asked.
ct will prevent their joining, from
the fact that they realize that they
will be in the future old men of the
order and they will have to meet
these excessive rates in future years. !"
What of the young men now in the
order?"
"They will be driven from our
ranks because as they grow older
they would have to encounter an in
creasing assessment rate that would
ultimately force them out of the or
der"
What have you to say of the claim
that the young man pays more than
his just share in the assessment
"You cannot find Woodmen of any
age, young or old, in the jurisdiction
who complain of the rate they are pay
ing"
"Is the old man burden to the or

No; it is lust the reverse. it being
