August Myers Escapes Cremation by
Lucky Circumstance at Ladysmith.

LADYSMITH, WIs.-August Myers, employed
IN the Menasha papermiu here, fell into the

q precartous condition. The boiler is one of the
largest made being eleven feet in diameter and
the furnace Isl brick room Of that width, with
on opening in the top where wood is thrown in
from the ground level. Ordinarily the heat of
this immense fire would annihilate a human
form In an instant, but on the occasion Of this
accident the furnace had just been filled with
wet wood, SO the fuel upon which the man fell
was not on fire. s.. -
Myers was badly burned about the head and

Becker's Strenuous Career.

Twenty years ago citizens of Glendale and sur
rounding territory were organizing movement
in support of the candidacy of "Judge" Becker
for governor Of the territory Of Dakota. Last
week Judge Becker was released from the Kansas
City Jail, where he has been for several months
because he was too i'll to be taken to the peniten-
tiary to serve out a two-year sentence imposed
on him for fraudulent banking. ~ 81 q
Becker has had career Somewhat similar to
that Of the latest airshp. OF unlimited ambi-
ton, and without nice scruples, he has planned
and organized schemes for making money, some
Of which might have brought wealth into the
hands Of other swindlers, but like the arship,
they have always failed to rise to great heights,
and while their failures have been disastrous to
the operator and have involved many others in
loss the transactions have been on compare
lively small scale.
Becker organized railroad scheme in the
southern part of the state which was to make all
Its stockholders rich. He impoverished good
many people, but failed to enrich himself. He
secured a position of Importance in a secret be-
nevolent society, but obliged to abandon his
Grand Forks headquarters before he had feath-
cred his nest. In Kansas City he and another
man started bank without capital and invited
deposits. The bank was closed by the authori-
ties before the receipts had exceeded few
hundred dollars. and Becker was sentenced to two
years for his share in the transaction 90

People Want the "Real Thing.'

Generally speaking, the more sweeping the
measure proposed, the better does it suit the
people. Never before has there been such wild
spread and outspoken dissatisfaction with the
present nominating system as there is now.
Undoubtedly the most popular measure on the
subject Of primary elections and the most closely
studied is the Wisconsin law, many copies Of
which are in the hands of legislators. Some Of
the members elect studying the New Jersey
law which provides for nomination by conven-
tions but the conventions are to be composed in
all cases of delegates elected directly at the
primaries, without the Intervention Of any other
convention. @S-..,i -->',.-- - = -
Some of the more conservative advocates Of re-
form are of the opinion that some modification
Of the New Jersey law would prove most salts
factory as an Introductory measure, but to be
at all satisfactory to the masses Of the people
a law must provide for the direct nomination
Of all candidates below the grade OF state Off
Gals, and for the elimination of the county con-
vention where the state ticket is concerned.

SECURING RIGHTS OF WAY
Lewiston & Southea stern Electric Line
Have Their Man in the Field :.

Greenville Holbrook, right of way
agent for the Lewiston & Southeastern
electric railroad. arrived here Tuesday
to begin work on securing the right of
way from this place, says the Free
Press. Quite a number of land owners
on the proposed road reside here and
as far as seen all were willing and
glad to give the necessary land. The
deeds provide that in case the road Is
not built and in operation within three
years the land reverts back to the orig
inal owner so tie people can lose MOTH
ing unless the road is actually built.
Very little trouble is anticipated in Sc
curing the right of way as every one
should be more than anxious to have
the road built and with its completion
the value of their property will be in
creased many times the value of the
land donated. Mr.. Holbrook expects
to have all of this work completed by
the first of April when the officers will
make trip east to make final arrange
ments for beginning construction.

the money can be raised wholly on the

financial and moral support of the peo-
pie of Lewiston we can then finish our

Il live in a brick house and brick
houses are dangerous In times of earth
quake. If ever Mr.. Cleveland is again
nominated he will strike the ground
with such a thud that 1t will cause an
earthquake. Earthquakes are not good
for people in brick houses. l don't
want any quakes,"
The visit of Mr.. Bryan to the mayor
caused a sensation among the Tam

Bryan was planning to use all his in
fiuence in favor of the nomination OF
the mayor for president,
During his talk with the reporters al
the city hall Mr.. Bryan was asked il
Mayor Mcclellan voted for him in 1896
Il assume that he did" said Mr.

The fact that the mayor and Mr.
Bryan came out of the mayors Office
arm in arm. both laughing heartily
caused much comment from the inter
ested Tammany politicians who wit
messed the incident. For several DAYS
