doubtedly much more favorable than it
was three weeks ago and very much
more so than at this time last year.

this year we are. to have a highly sat

Insane Mans Climb Thrills Crowd
With Horror.
Liberty, Mo-, July 23-Seated astride
the extended arm of the huge statue
of the goddess Of liberty that crowns
the dome Of the county court building
here. an insane mar for hours yester-
day thrilled with horror a crowd which
blocked the street beneath. For hours
he played a game OF life and death
with the weather vane while the crowd
looked on in horror, expecting that ev-
cry moment the swaying lightning rod
to which he chung with II hand
would snap and let him fall to the
street.
Alonzo Haggard, 25 years old. was
the man who pulled the whiskers of
Death, and seemed to enjoy
the peril of the game. While
from his perch or the arm
Of the goddess he twirled the weather
vane to every point OF the compass,
his sister knelt with outstretched arms
on the roof of the court house and beg
ged him to come down. Her voice was
not strong enough to reach her broth
er's ears. In silence the crowd on the
street watched her tragic pantomime.
Sits Long on Coping.
Darkness had almost fallen before
Haggard slowly let himself drop down
the lightning rod to the coping which
runs around the base Of the statue.
There he sat like a gargoyle until
darkness hid him from the crowd that
had waited all the afternoon to see the
outcome of his brush with death. Long
after the crowd has dispersed he sat
still motionless on the coping gazing
out over the lighted town.
The dome is $50 feet from the
ground. Hasgard entered the court
house at daybreak. Going out on the
railing surrounding he dome he pull
ed himself to the base of the goddess
of liberty by NEAR of the lightning
rod. A crowd watched him from the
street. afraid that he would lose his
balance INK fall.
Crowd Watches Daring Feat.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, after
having remained in his perilous posi-
ton for six hours and a half, Hag-
gard began to move bout. He climb
ed further up and seated himself on
the arm of the goddess. The statue
is fifteen feet high, and as he chung to
the lightning rod, pulling himself high
err into space, the crowd that had col
below involuntarily turned
away. 1t seemed as IL the rod
way, and that he would be DASH
ed to the ground. Haggard, however,
reached the height safely and amused
by playing with the weather
vane.
Haggard's sister was taken up on the
roof by officers. She pleaded with the
man to come down, but in vain.

Proposes Teachers' Union.

One teacher had evidently been in.
~fuenced by reading the strike stories
in the papers. She said:
eff teachers would keep themselves
In good condition, well read and
equipped on all the required branches,
and then make an agreement not TO
work for less than a certain salary. the
school boards or directors would have
to pay what we demanded" Some of
the teachers fell in with the idea, and
were quite enthusiastic yer it.
The fact is, that the schools In this
county are constantly raising the sal
aries of the t%eacehrs. In some loca1i-
ties the movement has not amounted
to much yet. but in several townships
there has been an advance of from five
to ten dollars in two years. In Liberty
township the greatest advance has
probably been made. There the salary
two years g was $50, while $40 and
$45 is being paid now.
