mentarily Expected.

the life of a two and one-half year old
child, which had wandered on the
railroad track near Powell, Neb., the
left leg of George Poehl. a ST. Joseph
and Grand Island fireman, was
wrenched off at the knee. AS the
freight train rounded a curve the child
was discovered a short distance ahead.
Poehf climbed to the pilot and grasped
the baby, throwing it back from the
track, uninjured. The fireman slipped
as the child was hurled to one side,
and was caught under the pilot, which
literally wrenched off his leg above the
ankle. He was brought to the hos
pital here, and death is momentarily
expected.

Newbury, N. H., June 27.-Secretary
Of State Hay had a restful night and
was reported as very comfortable"
this morning.
1t is not believed the secretary will
be about as soon as has been anticipat-
ed. Arrival of nurse and physicians
from Boston during the night, was the
result of belief that the secretary
would undoubtedly need most careful
nursing, and medical attention, during
the coming days. The family does not,
however apprehend any danger what
soever from Hays illness, but realize
the attack of uraemia of Saturday, fol-
lowing as 1t did the period of illness
for which Hay went abroad for treat
ment, weakened the secretary's physi-
cal power and necessitated at least
that he remain quietly in bed for sew
eral days.

do not believe he can be surrounded,
but apparently experts do not consider
the possibility Of a Russian victory.
Ldnevttch's retirement to Hardin and
isolation OF yladivostock seems to be
regarded as a foregone conclusion when
Oyama strikes. According to latest
news from the front, which is thirty
six hours old, oyama, after forcing
back the Russian right and center
transferred his weight against the left,
compelling the Russians to give ground
there also.

In the Saturday issue of the Times
Republican. The inscription was cred
tied to Kirkwood just as 1t was report
ed to the T.-R. Attention being called
TO the matter thru Mr.. Robb's letter
it was discovered that the copy of the
inscription furnished the painter had
several other Inscriptions on it and
they were so arranged as to be easily
misunderstood. In this way the names
of Eastman and Kirkwood got mixed.
The name of Eastman was placed un-
der the inscription, "Iowa-cur eyes
have been permitted to behold but the
beginnings of her greatness" The err
rors have now been corrected. AS to
the wording the capitol commission
followed the wording as Mr.. Robb
claims it was originally written:
Iowa, the affections of her people, like
the rivers of her borders, flow on to an
inseparable union" altho Mr.. Robb
leaves out the word on" after flow"
On the soldiers monument across the
street south of the state house the in
scription reads: "Iowa-her affections
like the rivers of her borders, flow to

Inscriptions have now been placed
