CHILD RIDES BRAKE ROD.
Four Year-Old Boy Has Miraculous Es-
cape Between Jolting Freight Cars
Bears No Scratch.

LA, CROSSE. Wis, May 12-Four-
year-old George Kuster took one of the
most amazing rides in railroad history
Friday. For eight miles, travelling at
forty miles an hour and over one of the
toughest bits of roadbed in Minnesota,
the child was carried, absolutely un-
hurt, clinging to a cross rod between
two box cars and under the coupling,
his feet resting on the brake beam.
When rescued, the boy was laughing.
Georges extraordinary ride began at
the Wyckoff, Mimi, station of the Mil
waukee road, where he escaped from his
father. Prof. George Kuster, and
crawled beneath a freight train. A
few minutes later the train pulled out.
When the train disappeared, it was
found the child also had vanished.
Between Wyckoff and Fountain, the
next station, eight miles away, there is
a steep down grade and a rough road
bed. Over these eight miles the child
was whirled, resting between the cars
where he had ensconced himself in the
Wyckoff depot, and saved by some ex-
traordinary chance from falling to death
on the ties beneath.
At the Fountain siding the train came
to a standstill and George, in the best of
humor with the world, was found by
Conductor William Plummer. The child
was not even scratched, and his white
dress scarcely soiled. Trainmen declare
the ride to be one of the miracles of rail
reading.

DRIVE INTO AN EXPLOSION.
Farmer and Wife Injured on Roadside
Clear OcontO.

OCONTO, Wis, May 14.-[special.l-
Gust Schoss, his wife and little daugh
ter of Underhill had a narrow escape
from death while driving to Gillett in
top buggy. An explosion threw them
out of the buggy and they landed in
stone pile on the side of the road.
1t appears that farmer was blow
ing up stumps and just before Schoss
came along he had lighted a fuse to
fve-pound charge of dynamite under
large stump near the road He retreat
ed into the field, and tried to attract the
attention of Schoss, but the rafting of
the buggy drowned the shouts.
Schoss and his wife were both uncon-
scious and badly cut. Mrs. Schoss chung
to her babe, which was still in her arms
when she revived, and it escaped injury.
Their clothing and flesh were filled with
fine gravel and sand from the explosion.
Mr.. Schoss says he did not hear the ex
plosion and knew nothing of what had
happened until he regained conscious
ness. The horse, which ran away, was
also badly peppered with gravel.

Born with Heart Outside.

4 case which physicians say is with
out parallel in medical annals was re
vealed in Newark. \. j., by the death
of Il male child which was born with its
heart outside the child's body, but so at
tached that it's functions were regularly
performed. Except for the heart, the in
FAINT was normally healthy. The heart,
minute, shook the tiny body: 1t had
grown to a large size before death, due,
physicians think, because it had not been
confined in the body. The mother and
child were removed to a private hospital,
the doctor having decided that an opera
tion would be necessary. 1t was hoped
that the organ could be placed in it's
proper position, but the efforts of the
physicians were unavailing. Physicians
from New York, Philadelphia, Boston
and many other cities have visited the
hospital.

CHARGE BIG CONSPIRACY.
Manitowoc Inventor, to Be Examined for
Sanity, Says Relatives Are After
Patent Rights.

MANITOWOC, Wis, May 15.-[ Spe-
cial l-Charging conspiracy on the part
of relatives to secure possession of valu-
able patents, the sweetheart of Anton
Kaltenurem, a St. Nazianz youth who
was brought here Saturday for examin-
alton as to his sanity, has created a SEN
sation that may result in an inquiry and
arrests. The woman who came here
when her lover was taken into custody,
induced the court to withhold the exam
ination for ten days. Kalternurem is the
inventor of patent feed cutter and it
is alleged that large sum of money has
been offered for the patent rights. The
woman claims that the illness of her low
er is due to Ill treatment, starvation and
abuses. Kaltenurem escaped when first
brought to the city and walked to his
home, twenty-five miles.

MADE. PRIZE CATCH.
A Fourteen Year-Old Boy Spears Sew
enty-five Pound Catfish.

A 75-pound catfish, one of the largest
taken from the Mississippi in the vicinity
Of Eagle Point in years, was speared by
Frank Strong, q 14-year-old boy, Satur-
dav. 1t was of the mud catfish variety
and was yellow in color. The lad was
assisted in taking it from the river by
some section men who were working
near where the fish was located.
The boy was unable to handle it and
after thrusting the spear into it's back,
was drawn into the water by it and was
in danger of drowning when he was
given aid. The head of it is larger than
a candy bucket and fourteen pounds of
meat was trimmed from one side of the
lower law. It was four feet two inches
in length and was worth about $l2.
When discovered it was laundering
among some bushes near the shore close
to the railroad track on the Wisconsin
side of the river, and it's immense size
prevented it from making it's escape in
the shallow water.
At the first thrust of the spear the
fish's backbone was broken, and this
handicapped it in its efforts to escape,
which, however, were almost successful.
The huge creature gave two of it's cap
tors q fierce battle and for fifteen min
utes an exciting time was had. Several
times in its rushes to get into deep water
the fish would pull the men from the
bank, but with the aid of a heavy club,
whicL was used effectively on its head,
the uenizen of the deep was soon at the
mercy of it's captors and was finally
landed. It's body was cut up by the men
and divided equally among them.-Du-

and to the taste Of the connoisseur 1t is
like the flavor of fine Java.
A great transformation takes place IN
the body within ten days or two weeks
after coffee is left off and Postum Food
Coffee used, for the reason that the pol

Actuary E. NJ. Daniel Makes His Report
to the Investigating Com
mittee.

The university investigating committee
met in the capitol this afternoon in ex-
ecutive session. 1t is known that the re-
port of E. NJ. Daniell the actuary en-
ployed to look over and audit the &C
counts of the university, was received.
Mr.. Daniel quotes resolution found in
the records in which a new system of
accounting and auditing was adopted.
Under the system the auditor was al
lowed a salary of $500, bookkeeper for
the auditor, $1,000; stenographer for the
auditor, $500, and for books for the sys-
teIa, $500, making a total for the audit
ing for each year of $500.
Mr.. Daniel says in his report to the
committee that the funds are found all
right, but that the system is extravagant
ard useless. That the cost of incorpor-
ating a system should not have cost more
than $500 and that the annual auditing
thereafter should not exceed 5000.
1t is stated that the present system
was incorporated by one of the profess
sors in the school of. commerce and that
he was made auditor with the additional
salary of $500 per year.
