Selma, June TO- 4 J. T. Scroggins. who was in the city yesterday, tells of very narrow escape from drowning by his adopted son. Per cy. few days ago. Mfr. Scroggins was standing in the yard when he heard . splash in the well near by.
 The distance from the top of the well tc the water was nine feet and the water was nine feet deep in the well and Mir Scoggins hastily let down a ten foot lad der into the well. He placed the last round of the ladder over his head and leaned over the well. telling the negro man to go down and get the boy quick The negro descended and found one hand of the boy in a death hold of the last round of the ladder that just touched the water. The negro called up that he couldn't get the boys hand loose. Pull his arm off'' called MT. Scoggins, but the negro finally tore the hand away from the round having to tear the skin to do 1t.
 He then brought the boy in safety to the top of the we'll and Mir. Scoggins rolled him, after which he began to show signs of life. It was 8 narrow escape for the lad.

Good Showing of Soldiers.


 companies yesterday at the inspection by AdJutant General Brandon and Captain Johnson, U. s. A., is vastly to the credit of this city All three arms of the ser vice are represented in Selma, artillery, cavalry and infantry. and each company has on its rolls more than a half hun dred men comprising the very flower of the young manhood of the city.
 At the inspection of Troop c in the af- ternoon at Elkdale Park Captain Atkins had forty-four men mounted. The com pany stood< an excellent inspection and went through the drill in fine order. Cap tain Johnson complimented them in no mild manner. He said that every man rode his horse well and that taking in consideration the fact that the horses were not trained for the service, the drill exhibition was highly creditabl.e
 At the battery inspection held shortly after o'clock forty-six men were in line and again the Selma military men re- ceived compliments from the United States officer. Adjutant General Brandon was called on and made a rousing speech, receiving much applause.
 At 9:30 the Abbott Rifles were ispected. fifty men being in line. For the time this company has been organized 1t made a most extraordinary showing and the visiting officers praised them to no small extent. Colonel Brandon again made an enthusiastic speech. telling Colonel Ab- bolt. who was present, that he had every reason to be proud of the honor of hav- ing such company named for him.
 The requisitlon for equipment will go forward at once, Captain Johnson said, and the equipment may be expected in about a months time.

1T Is important to note that in 1901
the railroads were employing on an aver
age 10S men more per 100 miles of track
than in 1895, being an increase of almost
rs per cent. This is in spite of the fact
that, the revenue train mileage showed
relatively little increase. It compares

Great Western railroad will, file articles
Of incorporation at Lincoln, Neb, to-day.
From an authoritative source it is learned
that the Great Western does this because
of Its intention to acquire road through
Nebraska and portion of wyoming, to a
connection with the Southern Pacific at
Ogden. From the same source it is
learned that Mr.. Stickney has an agree
nlent with James J. Hill whereby it may
acquire within two years the Pacific Short
line, from Sioux City to O'Neill Neb., 1876
miles long. 1t was stated that Mr.. Stick
ney secured the option on this property
when he purchased the Mason City & Fort
Dodge railroad from Mr.. Hill. The Great
Western is desirious of securing its own
outlet to the west that it may maintain its
| independence and not be forced to depend
upon the Harrinans for business at the
Missouri river gateway. With the line to
Ogden It would be in a:position to take
over business from the Southern Pacific
and the Clark road.

Question Of Profits.


Discussing editorially the figures above,
the Wall Street Journal says, .. r. >. ..
ITO what extent rates can be advanced
is still uncertain. The more important
question is as to the ability of the roads
to save the rest: Of the increased bill by
closer operation. The indications are
that it will be some months before much
can be done in this way. Railroad bust
ness at the present time is being con-
Quoted under circumstances which en-
tail tremendous waste of material and
energy. Practically all the large roads
have been short of tracks, motive power
and cars, and. have had to handle a very
large volume Of business in hurry. The
result Is that expenses have been and
still are far, beyond what they ought to be
or what they would be If the railroads
were properly equipped. The experience
Of Pennsylvania with its Pittsburg block
ade a few weeks ago is eloquent on this
point. = T. 1t will take probably six
months to clear: things so as to enable
! ra1lroading to be carried on with some
approach to economy.
THE meaning Of this is that for the
next SIX months the railroads cannot hone
to make very good showing of net earn
| 1ngs, for they will be under the Increased
wage expense at once, and even the rate
advances will take some time to arrange.
| "One thing is certain, and that is that
| when depression next comes railroad en-
ployers will probably feel rather less
compunction with respect to the reduc-
ton OF wages than they did during the
| last depression. They feel that the men
nave taken advantage: of a strong posi-
| ton to squeeze the roads," 81 =
