A very sad accident occurred at
Louisa last Thursday evening,
which resulted in the running over
of the little 7-year-old son of En-
giner A. P. Cayard. by the Cypre-
mort Branch train. From what
we could learn it seems that the
crew of the train were busy doing
some switching. The little fellow
was walking along the main track
when a Flying switch" was made
with several box cars and when
the ckild realized the danger it
was too late. His right leg was
badly mangled and he was
bruised about the face and his
left foot badly lacerated The
little sufferer was at once put
on board the train and q fast run
made to Franklin where he was
taken to the Sanitarium where DR..
3. w. Smith found 1t necessary
to amputate the right leg. Every
effort was made by the Doctor
and his efficient corp of trained
nurses to relieve the little fellows

Parker, the more than probable
nominee of the National Demo-

dental election. Congressman
Beoussard says that no man Is
better fitted to lead the Democracy
than is Judge Parker and he ex-
presses the belief that his nomin-
alton will carry the party to vic
tory, as Judge Parker is very
popular in the great pivotal States
Of the East, and is possessed with
the most eminent qualities of

any doubt but that the nomination
will be conferred upon Judge
Parker by the St. Louis conven-
ton.

beautiful, was rendered particu-
larly impressive by Rev. H. X,
Carson.

entertainers and made their guests
feel perfectly at home. The cutting

enjoyed by the young people.
Mr.. Charles d'Orville Heno drew
the ring. Mr.. John Bell the
dime and Miss Laura O'Niell the
needle. The bouquet was cap

done q great deal of damage te

the method used by them is to

make away with it. Each morn.

vegetables about town which nc
doubt much of it was stolen. A
load of fine shot in the right place
would insure the farmer against
further loss.

KEPT LID DOWN AND

Superintendent's Long Vigil in Pack

NEW YORK, July 16.-Jacob Klein
received scores of congratulations yes
terday for his successful work as an
amateur Sherlock Holmes. He is SUI
perintendent for wholesale cloak
making firm at Twelfth street and
Broadway. and he had made up his
mind to- discover which employe Was
guilty of thefts that had been going on
for several weeks.
Several men in the establishment
were under suspicion, and there was a
prospect of wholesale discharges ur-
less some definite clew could be OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Klein was stimulated in
his detective work by the fear that
unless he succeeded some innocent
men would suffer. He began work as
a sleuth about three weeks ago. He
found that the thief worked in the
early morning hours, and he arranged
to have one of the empty packing
boxes left on the floor, and he made
peepholeS and breathing places at each
end.
Getting up each morning at half
past o'clock, he hid himself in the
box and had almost given up hope of
success, when, on Monday lpornlng,
almost sfflothered, he heard the door
open softly. man entered, picked
up fancy lined skirt and con-
cealed it under the waistband of his
trousers. Mr.. Klein jumped out and
struck him blow in the face, almost
stunning him, and then turned him
over to a policeman. The man was

A Leader of Men

Judge Parker spoke late. but he
spoke to the point. He proved at a
stroke that he is nobody's puppet. He
is owned by nobody and nothing but
his conscience. Whatever be the out :
come of his canvass, he has proved
himself qualified to be a leader of
men.-New York Sun.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-07-17
True Party Leadership

Even his party rivals will recognize
that it must commend Judge Parker to
those who are capable of appreciating
the shades of moral sensitiveness that
were not recognized by the disciples of
expediency in the convention 1t is all
very well to talk about Judge Parker's
being the servant of the party. but
there is no need for the standard bear
er of great cause to emphasize his
servility. He must be leader as well
as a servant. Judge Parker's dyna-
mite-laden telegram indicates that
he intends to be the leader and inspirer
as well as the servant of his party
