GRAsPED LIVE WIRE.
Middletown Mans Marvellous Escape
 From Death.

Middletown Mans Marvellous Escape
 From Death.
 # Charles Fountain met with an expe- rience Monday which will cause him to remember the day as long as he lives. MT. Fountain grasped live electric wire through which current of twen- ty-five to thirty hundred volts was travelling. When it is remembered that a current of only twenty-two volts is used In connection with the electric chair, it will be seen how marvellous was his escape.
 About half-past seven o'clock on Monday night the electric arc light near the residence of Mir. Fountain on Hunting Hill gave away, and sagged down into the road. MT. Fountain saw hanging down what he supposed to be the rope used to pull the light up with. sIn reality this was one side of the cir .cuit which had become disengaged from the lamp. MT Fountain grasped it to pull the lamp up. The force of the cur- rent hurled him ten feet across the sidewalk into a clumb Of small trees. MT. Fountain thinks he did not lose consciousness, but as no one saw the occurrence there is no way of telling. He picked himself up and walked across the street to his home. pr. Mitchell was called and gave him some medicine to seounteract the effect of the shock on the nervous system.
 The only way of accounting for MT. Fountains escape is that only the end of the broken wire was exposed, and that this was not sufficient surface to give the full effect of the shock. A blister on MT. Fountains hand shows the spot where the wire came in con- tact with the fiesh.-Middletown Tri- bune.

Not Reassuring.

A middle-aged man and his wife
who were about to take trip to Wash
ington decided that, as it was the be-
ginning Of the season, they had better
invest in some new clothes. Their
grown-up children made fun Of their
"new" appearance, but it was not UNI
til the parents were safely settled in
their seats and had opened their bags
that they discovered the joke that had
been played upon them.
One Of the grown-up children had
filed both satchels with rice and when
father and mother opened their bags
the grains were scattered broadcast.
OF course there was at once an
amused smile on eyeryones face, and
the mother felt herself getting redder
than she had ever been in her life be-
fore She was made no more comfort
able by fat German woman sitting
opposite, who leaned over and said,
quite audibly:
Zach, never mind! I'm vidder
woman now, but by dis time next week
I'll be in de same fix m'self."

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 31.-(special)
There is deep interest in Green coun-
ty over the cure Of the little daughter
Of I. N. Whipkey Of Rheumatism. She
was a great sufferer for FIVE or six
years and nothing seemed to do her
any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney
Pills. She began to improve almost at
once and now she Is cured and can run
and play as other children do. Mr.
Whipkey says:
IT am indeed thankful for what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for
my daughter; they saved her from be-
ing a cripple perhaps for life."
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved
that Rheumatism is one Of the results
of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is
caused by Uric Acid in the blood. II
the Kidneys are right there can be no
Uric Acid in the blood and consequent
~ no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney
Pills make the Kidneys right.

Great Grain Crops of 1904.

From the governments latest figures
a corn yield of 2,464 100000 bushels is
indicated for 1904, as compared with a
harvest of 2,244. 100000 bushels in 1903.
The corn crop never was larger than this
year except in 1902. when it was 2,o23,-
100000 bushels. Wheat is placed at Doll
100000 bushels, as compared with 3d.
100000 for 1898, 74S,O0O,OO0 for 1901,
67O.0OOOOO for 1902, and 637 100000 for
1903, the only years which exceeded
1904's yield.
The oats crop for this year will reach
SS7 100000 bushels, which is the biggest
harvest of that cereal ever gathered ex-
cept in 1902, when the crop was $751;
100000 bushels Barley, with 100000
600 bushels, breaks the record. Rye,
27,0O0,0 coo bushels, has been beaten only
in 1901, 1902 and 1908, when there was
a slightly larger yield than this year s.
The $4,000, OO0-bushel crop of buckwheat
goes ahead of all former figures. Po-
tatoes, with yield of 305,OO0,O0O bush
els, also beats all the figures of the past.
Cotton, of course, with its 12,O00,O00-
bale crop, breaks all records.

Ch,,,an Miners Powerful.

perhaps the greatest weights borne
for any distance on mems backs aro
the loads of ore brought up from the
mines Of the Andes by the miners OF
Chill. Darwin visited a copper NINE
in a rayine leading from the MAN
range Of the Cordilleras, where the
work was carried on by such pr1mitlVo
means that though the mines nao
heen worked In the mountains for at
least two centuries, the water was re-
moved in some by carrying it UP SHAFTS
IN leather bags on mems backs.
Sir Francis Head, when visiting a
similar mine, found that all the ore
was carried up to the surface, yer

and that the average weight carrleo
was 25O pounds. This load was not
carried up a winding stair, but up

NEBRASKA MURDER CLEARED UP
BY MEDIUM.
Spiritua1ists Claim Credit for Discov-
cry of Perpetrators of Foul Crime
Census Report Shows Great Increase
In Amount of Cotton Ginned.

Nebraska Spiritualists claim that 1t is
due to the revelations of a trance me-
dunn that two murderers are now within
the walls of the State penitentiary. The
two prisoners meant are Charles Hutch
inson, a boy of 10, and his mother,
woman of 30. The boy is sentenced to
twelve years imprisonment and the wom-
an to ten years, both for the same crime,
the murder of Eli teasel, an old man
and their employer. Through the me-
dunn, it is said, Feaseps body was found
buried in his farm. Portions of body
were found, evidence was gathered link
by link and then followed the arrest OF
young Hutchinson and later his mother.
The strong circumstantial evidence
against them at the trial resulted in their
conviction. Both still maintain their in

ILLINOIS MINES IDLE.
Strike of Hosting Engineers Begins
and Thousands Are Idle.

Two hundred and forty mines, practl-
cally every coal mine in Illinois, employ
ing 10000 men, were closed Tuesday by
workers thrust into idleness by the strike
Of the hosting engineers. 800 in num-
Der. whose wage scale was attacked by
the operators The miners and other
mine employees, sympathiZing with the
engineers, walked out quietly at mid
night, and the machinery for hosting
coal in every mine in the State ceased
running. Efforts have been made by the
operators to man the pumping machinery
and keep the water from accommodating.
The strike of the engineers, it is be-
lieved, is but the beginning of the strug-
gle although the operators declare they
will man the engines with non-unlon en-
gineers They declare that the army of
miners is not in sympathy with the strike
and that they will return to work with
non-union men at the engines.
Already the coal dealers OF Illinois are
predicting an increase in the prices of
soft coal, which, of course, will be reflect
ed in the price of anthracite. The coal
industry of Illinois was paralyzed by one
blow The strike is not sanctioned by
the United Mine Workers of America.
The huge walllout entails the loss OF
$4,000 a day in wages to the miners
not directly involved and $1,000 day
to the engineers.
