RAILROAD MEN MAY OWN FARMS.
Plan Considered By the Pennsylvania Railroad
Which MAY Become Popular.

Which May Become Popular.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has un-
der consideration a plan by which all
of the thousands of employees may, if
they so desire, become proprietors of
little farms. The scheme contem-
plates the parceling out of desirable
land belonging to the railroad COM
pany along the variOns lines of track
and permitting the free use of this
land to every employe who wishes to
put the land under cultivation. In
cases where the employe himself
might not have the time to conduct
little truck farm the offer would hold
if the members of the employees fami-
ly were willing to look after the land.
In thousands of cases such farms
could be provided within a short dis
tance of the homes of the men, and in
every case the farm would be place
that would make easy the marketing
of such produce as was not consumed
by the families of the employees.
DIR. W. H. Tolmah, director of the
American Institute Of Social Science
in New York, brought the plan to the
attention of President A. J. Cassatt
which, besides advocating it's advan-
tages, showed how successfully the
same idea is at present being carried
out along the lines of railroads in
| France. 1t was showed that the
Northern Railroad in France has pro.
vided farms for 5000 employees, that
the Eastern road has provided farms
for 2,800, the Southern road for 2,600
and the Orleans road for more thar
5000 employees, and that these farms
besides aiding the prosperity of thu
railroad men, also increase the bust
ness of the road and add materially tt
the wealth of the entire nation. Presi
dent Cassatt replied to the letter in
cordial note, stating that he had con
sidered the plan carefully and was i'm
pressed with the figures from France
and concluded by stating that he ha
turned the letter over to the superin
tendent of the railroad with instruC
tions to report upon the feasibility o
the scheme here. Along some line
the road has not enough land alOn
the right of way, but on other lines
is believed that the plan could easil
be carried out.

Country editors can now show their
enterprise by printing the stock cut of
Douglas, the shoe man, and labelling
it Judge Parker, the Democratic can

'Post- Telegram. The Democratic
sheet that has never been fortunate
enough to have contract with the
shoe man to run his advertisement
says the Salem Sunbeam will be at
serious disadvantage when it comes to
printing the picture of his candidate,
but the Republican journals are at no
loss. All that that they need is a
picture of set of teeth, and they can
borrow that from the advertisement of
the local dentist.

4 came out In boat nearly succeeded in
reScuing her, but the body entangled
In the meShes Of the parachute cap
sized the boat and com PEELED the boys
TO swim for their lives. Ed Thomas
was saved by rope which was thrown
to him and Jimmie Grillee required
some prompt assistance but safely es-
capped. A second boat went out as
soon as possible and with the aid of
the men on The bank who pulled on
the rope, which one Of the boys swim
ming out tied to the boat, succeeded
In towing the parachute and entangl-
ed body to the shore. For two hours
four Of the doctors and other willing
hands worked In every known and con-
ceivabe way to resuScitate her but
without a ray Of hope or the slightest
indication of returning consciousness.
She had been In the water nearly thir
ty minutes and life had departed be-
fore the body was taken from The wa
ter.
Those who were In position to OBJ.
serve fully the movements Of the bal
loon, state That 1t had ceased drifting
and began to descend before the leap
was made, Seeing this, the most
plausible explanation is that Mrs.
Hendricks realized the danger of al
lowing the balloon to settle in the
pond with her and chose the only pos
sible alternative, that Of making the
leap and the possibility OF controlling
the descent Of the parachute. Fran
tic gestlculatlonS on her part lead to
the belief that she made every effort
possible to attract attention and to-
control the movements OF the Inflated
apparatus
The ascent required one minute and
twenty-five seconds, the decent forty
five seconds.
Three or four men were required to-
prevent the frenzed husband from
jumping into the lake.
The remains were prepared for bur.
ial and shipped Saturday evening To
the home of her parents In Mount
Pleasant. Indiana. Mrs Hendricks
was a charming woman, aiTable and
pleasing and was esteemed by all those
who had formed her acquaintance
during her three months stay In the
city.

MADE A FATAL LEAP!
Mrs. s. B. Hendricks Who Made Parachute Leap for Pleasure
OF Others Plunged to Death in Rock Island Lake.

The headlines above tell the terri
BILE fate OF Mrs. S. B. Hendricks whose
death occurred by drowning, Friday
evening at about seven o'clock.
The balloon ascension and parachute
leap had been extensively advertised as
one OF the chief attractions Of the
Street Fair and Carnival held at this
place last week. Windy weather On
each Of the preceding days had pre-.
vented this performance and the
crowds that gathered had begun to
whisper that this part of the program
was fake. Following the perform
ance Of the high diver at five o'clock,
Friday evening, Mr.. Hendricks an
nounced that he was pleased to state
that the ascension would positively
take place at $3.50 and his remarks
were greeted with cheers.
Promptly at $3.50 all arrangements
were completed and large crowd had
gathered at the north east corner Of
the square from which place the bal
loon was to arise. Promptly at $3.50
Mrs. Hendricks, who had been tied TO
the parachute, appeared smiling and
chatted pleasantly with these around
her. When everything was In readl.
ngss. Mr.. Hendricks stepped up spoke
a word, gave his wife the kiss that was
to be her last and gave the order to
let the balloon ascend. AS she was
rising Mrs. Hendricks called out,
"Hurrah for Roosevelt" and these
were the last words that her friends
ever heard her speak.
A slight breeze carried the daring
lady to the northeast, and Instinct
lively the crowd seemed to realize the
danger and scores Of men started on
run for the pond, but before the first
had arrived the leap had been made
and the unfortunate lady had bee
buried under the cumbersome para
chute In twenty feet OF water and at
least hundred feet from the nea rest
shore. She was a strong swimmer,
but sucked under the maelstrom Gre
