was pushed for a distance of rs
feet around a curve before the car
was stopped. Just before the CAT
stopped Storey Slipped from be-

out by the Mortified crowd, who ex.
pected to pick him up in pieces.
He was under the car, the cow
catcher having passed over his
body, and was pulled out of the
space just behind the front trucks.
If it had not been wet so that the
wagon slid over the pavement Mr.
Storey would have been run over
and killed.
Mr.. Storey was attended to by
DR.. Newell until the patrol arrived
on the scene. He was taken to
the Washington cigar store and
walked, with a little assistance, to
the wagon. His face was cut and

In telling of the accident, Mr..
Miller, who runs the livery stable
on the corner of Washington and
Sprague, said: 81 can not, for the
life of me, see how that man was
not killed. He was pushed by the
car for long distance and then

1t not been for the wheels on the
wagon holding together. The wheel
was just over his head and If it

John Morgan, who some months
ago gained fame in Rockford as
the man with the red whiskers,"
is before Justice Stocker this after
noon charged with vagrancy pre-
ferred by Rockford officials. Nor
gan was first arrested as an insane
person, but Judge Poindexter held
him in Jail to see whether the crazi-
ness were real or just the after
math of continued booze grating.
Morgan recovered and went back
to Rockford. On his second trip he
took a knife with him and COM
menced a series of exciting enter
tainments for various housewives
near Rockford. Back he came to
the city in charge of Judge Speck
and Constable Tom Botham. Judge
Poindexter does not believe Morgan
is insane, and TIE Rockford officials,
in order to free their community
of Morgan, have this afternoon pre-
ferred charges of vagrancy.

kANTIShNA STAMPEDE one
OF GREATEST ON RECORD

SEATTLE, Oct. 2.-The latest adj
vices from Fairbanks, Alaska, state
that the present stampede to the
kantishna gold diggings is the big
gest since Fairbanks was establish
ed three years ago. Several boats
have left Fairbanks within the past
few weeks with a party which will
locate townsite near the mouth of
the Bearpaw river, there being al
ready a population in the district
of nearly 400.
The Kantishna drains large ter
ritory and the left fork winds
around the Upper Bearpaw and
Moose rivers. and has it's source
near Mt. Mckinley, none of the
recent maps showing the location
of these rivers, though they are
stree rs of considerable size.
Trappers first brought the news
of the big find and it is reported
that the country is full of rich pos
sibilities, there being many creeks,
all gold bearing, and none of them

The Bearpaw river, on which the
kantishna townsite will be located,
Is lined with polling boats and pros
pectors' tents dot the shore of the
river from its mouth to Caribou
creek, a distance of rs miles. It
Is easy polling up the river from the
mouth of the Kantishna to the
mouth of the Bearpaw and quite
easy working up the Bearpaw to
the Moose river. From there about
so miles to Caribou and Glacier
creeks, the polling is strenuous
work and fraught with grave dan
gers as the Moose river is narrow,
tortuous and runs like a mill race,
The townsite will be made the
central supply station for the upper
kantishna countrq, and 1t is believ.
ed that the present diggings on the
Caribou, Moose and Glacier creeks
will be but small percentage Of

a result of the present stampede.

eign affairs, customs and currency
are supposed to be administered in
common.
This dual system was adopted by
the Ausglerch (agreemenD of 1867.
Franz Joseph has only been able
to maintain the ausglerchs (agree-
ments) not only between Hungary
and Austria, but between the II
crown lands represented in the
reichsrat at Vienna, by personal in
fluence, and by playing off the diff
ferent factions against each other.
The ministers are practically the
servants of the emperor, though in
law they are responsible to the
parliament.
Partisan strife has frequently al
lowed the emperor to block all leg
islation for months at time, thus
affording him opportunity to make
laws and issue DEGREES as he
pleased.
To all intents and purposes, ow-
ing to the manipulations of the en-
peror and his minister-servants
Hungary is now a country without
any government recognized by the
people.
At present the army, while re-
cruited among Hungarians, is COM
manded mainly by Austrians, COM
manded in German, and the colors
are Austrian.
In the eyes of Hungarians this
army makes Hungary look like a
conquered country.
In 1900, Hungary and Transyl-
vania had population Of 16,76S,-
143; Bohemia, 6.31S,2SO; the rest
of the empire, 22,224,412.
