AFRAID TO LET LOOSE.


Little Will Tandy, the son of Mr..
w. T. Tandy, cashier of the City
Bank, came near being the victim of
a serious accident a few days ago.
On his way home from school he
took hold of a telephone wire that
had sagged nearly to the ground.
At one end of the wire mule was
attached to draw the wire taunt.
Without knowing that Will was hang
ing to the wire, the man in charge
started the mule and with a sudden
lurch the little boy was drawn sew
eral feet from the ground, and before
he knew it he was too high to let
loose. But he didn't lose his pres
ence of mind and pluckily held on
until he was seen hanging in mid-air,
something like 25 feet from mother
earth. Fortunately the Tightening
of the wire drew the boy to one of
the cross-arrns and he wrapped his
legs around the pole, where he re-
manned until he was taken down.
He was not in position to relin-
quish his hold on the wire and get
down the post to the ground. The
little fellow had both hands badly
mashed by the wire being drawn ov-
err the cross-arm as it became tighter
and tighter by the mule pulling it.
Will had an experience that will be
warning to him the balance of his
days. The man that took him down
says that he was so frightened at the
little boys predicament that he
hardly had presence of mind to go
up the pole after the boy. He was
also afraid that he would not be
able to hold on to the wire until he
could reach him. Had the boy fall
en- he would undoubtedly have been
killed or manned for life.

HE FAVORS PEACE.
Russia axe Important Change In Per.
sonnet OF Pleniroteutiaries.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 13.-M. Muir
avietf has resigned his position as
chief peace plenipotentiary. 1t may
be regarded as practically certain that
he will be replaced by NJ. Witte, pres.
ldent of the committee of ministers,
who all along has been considered
the Russian statesman pre.eminently
qualified to undertake the difficult task
OF negotiating peace with Japan.
NJ. Muravietf's retirement, ostensi.
bly, owing to reasons Of i'll health, is in
reality due to the fact that the emperor
became convinced thai the negotia.
tons might be j%eopardized if he went
to Washington. Nj. Muravietf him
self, upon consideration, quite frankly
recognized his lack of diploma attic
training and his want Of acquaintance
with the questions involved, and with
equal frankness expressed sattsfac'
ton that he had been relieved.
Neither the Washington nor Toxic
governments have yet been officially
advised of Nj. Muravief's withdrawal,
the foreign Office probably preferrine
to announce the name OF his successor
at the same time. The change in the

CHICAGO. July 12.-Ano,her attack
has been made upon the Intern ational
Harvester company by r. B. Swift,
formerly head of the experimental de.
partment of the Mccormick branch OF
the harvester company. Swift's con-
nection with the company was severed
some months ago, and suit commenced
against him BY the officials of the CON-
pany, who allege that he had defraud.
ed them in the sale of a patent.
In his bill, Swift, as a stakeholder,
demands an accounting Of the COM
pany and that the court force the com.
pany to cas- taking rebates from the
railroad companies and also compel
the company to return to the railroads
moneys said by Swift to have been
illegally exacted from the railroads in
the past.
Swift declares that up to September
30, 1902, the Mccormick branch of the
harvester company also forced the
railroads to pay it, through rebates
and the operation of the Illinois Nor
thern road, a sum in excess OF 5000,
600. Up to the same date the money
received in the rebates by the Plano
branch of the Harvester company
through the agency of the Chicago,
West Hull & Il. Southern railroad,
amounted to $500, 900.

Cowboy Special Makes a Record.

CHICAGO, July ll.-With every car
blackened by a record. breaking run
from Los Angeles to Chicago, the
Walter Scott special on the Santa Fe
railroad arrived here at 1854 a. M,
having beaten all previous records by
hours as we'll as lettering the special
trains exacting schedule.
Consisting of a baggage car, dinner
and private living car, the train which
left Los Angeles at | p. m. Sunday
came into the Polk street station to.
day at almost top speed, having made
the run of 2,24lt miles,in II hours and
81 minutes. This is % hours and s
minutes faster than the time of the
regular Santa Fee limited, it is three
hours and six minutes faster than the
original contract called for which
was 4S hours and beats even the later
schedule of As hours by six minutes.
Eliminating stops or "dead' time,
which aggreg ated SO minutes, the spe.
cial made the run in 43 hours and s.
minutes, or an average for the entire
distance of 2,2444 miles of SILL miles
an hour. The fastest time of the run
was made between Chillicothe and
Coal City, ILL.,, q distance of Il miles,
which was covered at the rate of Is!
miles per hour.
AS Scott offered the railway $40 for
each minute under the specified time,
the bet being laid so that the road
should have had to pay him the same
sum for each minute over the time,
Scott paid the Santa Fe 50, 720 in ad'
dition to the cost of the train.
