Farmers Life Saved by Cow.

John Calvert, a farmer near Mason
City, had narrow escape from being
killed by vicious cow. The animal
charged and knocked him down and
when he was about to. rise, struck him
again, then attempted to gorge him.
The enraged animal made an effort to
run him through with his horns. but
Calvert evaded her. At this point one
of Oalyert's COWS came to the scene
and Immediately challenged her
masters assailant to battle, which
was accepted, and a furious contest
began. This gave the farmer his
opportunity to escape. He is firmly
of the opinion that had not his own
COW been there he would have been
killed. He had gone to the cornfield
for his cattle, which were with a
herd of his neighbours, one of which
attacked him.

The Gospel of Corn.

A correspondent at Montezuma,
Poweshiek county, Iowa, says: Fred
Stillwell planted forty acres of corn,
as an experimental field, putting into
practice the principles of the gospel
of corn preached bv Professor Holden.
The results are surprise to everyone,
as one acre of this field has yielded
147 bushels of good corn and five big
loads of pumpkins. Never before was
more than eighty-seven bushels raised
on any acre of this field. the re-
mainder of the field has yielded nearly
as much per acre as the one acre
mentioned. Many persons who did
not believe it went out from Mon
tezuma TO see the great corn field and
returned convinced that they had never
seen its equal. 1t is looked upon as
a natural wonder.

SECRETARY HAY
HAD A RELAPSE
Frustrated by Attack of Uraemia,
But is Much Better.
DOCTORS RUSHED FROM BOSTON

Newbury. N H., June 2S.-The con-
dition of Secretary Of State John Hay
continued favorable after a comfort
able night DR.. Fred L. Murphy, of
Boston, returned and remained at the
secretary's home last NIT The ply
sicians decline to discuss ele case, but
DR.. Scudder said just before his de-
parture that the secretary had passed
a pleasant and comfortable day.
The cold. wet weather has proved a
slight drawback, but Notwithstanding
the dampness, Mr.. Hays condition has
improved neticeably since Sunday
night
Mrs. Hay felt greatly encouraged
and sent a telegram to Payne Whit
ney, her son-in-law, advising him and
Mrs. Whitney to sail for Europe as
they intended.
DR.. J. l.. Cain, of Newport, N. H.
who was called to the Hay home be-
fore the arrival of the Boston physi-
clans, is with DR.. Scudder. Both doc
tors are of the opinion that Mr.. Hay
will have no difficulty in overcoming
the effects of the present attack. An
operation was considered at one time
by DR.. Cain, but the three physicians,
after a careful examination and a con-
sultation. decided that it would not be
necessary. The attack was due to a
chill caught on the journey from
Washington and is similar to one Mr..
Hay had four years ago.
The secretary passed a comfortable
night and his family considered that
there is no need of further anxiety.
Secretary Hay arrived at his summer
home Saturday night.
Secretary Hay began to be in pain
Sunday night Remedies which have
given relief on previous occasions were
applied. but failed to help him, and
Dr. Cain was called from Newport. He
found that in changing from the eli 7
mate of Washington to the cooler tenn !
perature of the Lake Sunapee region, |
the secretary had taken a severe cold |
and that organs weakened by previous /
attacks had been seriously affected. |
Upon learning this Mrs. Hay desired !
that specialists should be summoned |
at once, and as soon as possible Drs.
Scudder and Murphy were on the way
here by special train from Boston.
The Boston and Maine railroad
cleared its tracks from Boston to Con-
cord, N. H., and the special made fast
time between those cities. A quick, but
examination of the patient
was made, and it was seen that his
while it was exceedingly
painful, was not for the time at least
serious.

President Orders Pittsburg ReVenue
Collector Reprimanded.
Washington, d. c., June 26.-Internal
Revenue Collector D. B. Heiner, OF the
Pittsburg district, will be reprimanded
by direction of the president for his
dilatoriness In aiding the Pennsylvania
state officials in enforcing the laws
against the illegal traffic in Oleomar-
garine. and will be instructed to be
more prompt hereafter In cooperating
with the state authorities.
The president took up the case of
Heiner, and after considering the
complaints laid before him some time
ago by State Food and Dairy Inspector
Warren, sent instructions to the above
effect to Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Yerkes.
There is good reason to believe Col
lector Heiner had a narrow escape
from removal. This is shown by the
fact that his case was considered so
serious by Commissioner Yerkes that
the latter did not care to deal with it
himself, but referred it to the presi-
dent, who alone has the power of re-
moval.

railroad, Laura Scarborough, colored,
was killed; Mrs. Sarah Cromwell,
white, was so seriously injured that
her death is mOmentarily expected,
and a dozen or more were injured.
The trolley, coming toward the city
from Back River, was behind time and
did not stop except to let off passen-
gers. For that reason only about 40
persons were on board. At Highland
town, an eastern suburb, there are
many railroad tracks, protected by
safety gates. Reaching one of these,
the trolley stopped while a freight
train passed. The gates were raised
and the trolley proceeded slowly. Just

Philadelphia. June 2S.LThe sensa-

21st division of the 18th ward. which
took place at the February election,
came to a quick and unexpected ter
mination in quarter sessions court,
when three of the accused men plead
ed guilty, while the other two pleaded
not guilty. The latter pair were dis

to Imprisonment for five months and
a fine of $500 and disfranchisement for
seven years; Strauss to FIVE months
and a similar fine, while Glenn got OF

When District Attorney Bell out
lined to the judge the claims of the
commonwealth and told him that they
could be proved, the allegations he
made created a sensation in the crowd
ed court room. He SID that on the
of the election the officers
stuffed 200 fraudulent ballots into the
box. He produced a book used at the |
polls containing the names of voters, |
and said that it contained 200 fictitious

here given is, perhaps, one Of the best.
A man from Northern Wisconsin, who

him how his writings had made exist
ence more tolerable for him in his
lonely country home.
Il was terrible sufferer from dys-
pepsy," said he, "but I read that
laughing was helpful to the digestive
organs, so when I went to the city
next time 1 stepped into a book store
and told them 1 wanted somethin'
amoozin'. They give me some of your
books, and after meals had my ole

say, it don't make no difference how
much they criticize your books, you're

Making railroad rates In like play
Ing a game of checkers or chess Com
munities to be benefited, producers,
manufacturers or shippers to be aided,
represent the pieces used. Every pos
sible move Is studied for its effect on
the general result by skilled traffic
managers. A false move in the max
ing Of freight rates may mean the
ruin of a city, Of a great manufacture
ing interest, Of an agricultural COM
munity. Railroads strive to build up
all these SO that each may have an
equal chance in the sharp competition
Of business. So sensitive to this rival
~ are the railroads that in order to
build up business along their lines they
frequently allow the shipper to prac-
tically dictate rates. Rate-making has
been matter of development; of mu-
tual concessions for mutual benefit
That is why the railroads of the Uni
ted States have voluntarily made
freight rates so much lower in this
country than they are on the govern
ment-owned and operated railways Of
Europe and Australia that they are
now the lowest transported ton rates In
the world.
