what remarkable accident at St. Louis
the other day, when Pullman coach
jumped The track on a curve on the
elevated road. while travelling at high
speed. and pitched 10 feet to the gran
tie pavement with a shock that shook
fhe great buildings in the entire neigh
boThood. There were eight people in
the car. and not the loss of a life. nor
the fracturing of limb attended the
disaster. That such exceptional cir
cumstances should have occurred is
alone aScribed to the soiidity of the
coach. and also to the fact that, be-
meath the windows of the coach. as il
lay on it's side in the street, there was
a slight depression, which was bridged
by the cars side. The great strength
of the Pullman was proof against the
impact of its bulk against the street
pavement. upon which it was hurled.
Only the wide windows were shatter-
ed and the woodwork of the interior.
The frame of the coach itself. being
OF steel. was not crushed. and hence
the passengers escaped with cuts from
flying glass. bruises from joltings and
SprainS and wTenches from the rude
shaking up they received in the fall

TAYLoR's DECLARATION.

8. ID. Taylor, editor OF the Bonners
Ferry Herald and representative elect
to the legislature, makes some very
J. itive declarations in his last Issue,
which, IL carried out, will show a
firmness and determination which
many did not believe Mr.. Taylor pos
sessed. He seems to fully grasp the
fact that he was elected TO do certain
things and declares that he will faith
fully carry out his promise. His
declaration follows:
There seems to be an idea prevail
ing among a number OF persons in
Boomers Ferry that the. member of the
legislature from this town should
make fight to have Bonners Ferry
declared the county seat, in the coun.
~ division bill.
''Suoh an idea may rs we'll DO dis
missed at once. The member from
BonDers Ferry will stand upon the
platform upon which be was elected.
There was not . vote cast for him
with the understanding taht It was q
vote for Boomers Ferry for county
seat. There we're q great many votes
east for him with the understanding
that 1t was a vote for division and
Standpoint for county seat. It has
been understood far and near that
standpoint was to be the county seat
OF the new county, and SO we'll was
that understood that neither Boomers
Ferry nor any other town was mem
tioned for county seat honors. I'm.
der such circumstances 1t would be
breach of good faith for the member
from Boomers Ferry to oppose Sand
point and he will not do It, No
friend Of his will expect him to do
otherwise, when the circumstances are
considered.
The representative from Boomers
Ferry desires to be plain and frank In
this matter. He will stick TO the
original program which was to do all
he could for bridge.
I'VE have no doubt that some we'll
meaning people have been led to
misunderstand this county seat mat.
tor, but II 10 not so with all. Most
OF those who wish the Boomers Ferry
representative to throw principle to
The winds and flght for county seat
are persons who did everything in
their power to defeat him and elect a
Standpoint man, so that their eonsis.

while teaching school In Louisiana met a
handsome Southern girl, Mary Staples, at
a baseball game. They were soon after
ward married.
During his early life In America the
Colonel had the vicissitudes Of a young
man who had TO win his spurs. Because
OF the litigation his father was unable to
assist him. From Louisiana the young
officer vent to Iowa, and while residing
there was a military instructor in a large
academy. Then he came to Macon, andtook
charge Of St. James's Military Academy,
which had been established In 1875 by
Bishop Talbot Of Pennsylvania.
After Bishop Talbot left the academy It
went down, and when Col. Blees took charge
1t was in lettering condition, but he soon
revitalized it and was succeeding we'll
with it when called to Europe by the death
OF his father.
-Idon't care to live TO be a very old man,
Col. Blees remarked soon after he came
into his fortune; give me fifteen years from
now and l will be satisfied. Fifteen well
spent, useful years, when a man is working
at his very best and has the means to
work with, ought to be sufficient
Fate denied the prayer by five years.

English Rugby Team May Come Her.

rAhRASh NuBDJ htAm Way Tome Here.
According to . London despatch to the
Minneapolis TribUns a team Of Rugby foot
ball players from England is tin q
a trip 70 the United States. The despatch
says:
The plans are not uricIently far advanced az
yet TO warrant a positive announcement, but Preai-
dent J, Rowland Hnl Of the Rugby Football Union
10 confident that such a tour will be arranged, with
the idea OF pOpularizng the Eame with American
college men. He had o long talk on the subject
with Nicholas LONG worth. when President Roose-
velts son in law was here, and I understand Mr..
LongwOrth was enthusiastic. IL 10 hoped that
through him the American President may be inter-
ested. Mr.. Hill has opened communi cation with
the universities of Vale, Harvard, Princeton, Penn.
sylvania, Columbia, Cornell. Chicago, Michigan,
Minnesota Nebraska, Wisconsin. California, OREGON
and Washington and others.
The idea Of the RuGbyites In Interesting America
IN the game is that there may be one game Of foot
ball In which all English speaking races might
meet periodically.
There Is no immediate danger Of either
Rugby or soccer making any inroads In the
popularity OF the American college game Of
football. but the New Zealanders when here
last winter showed that Rugby has attractive
features. More for fun than for anything
else a number Of Yale players tried their
hands at II, playing q scoreless game with a
team made up Of EnElishmen. There was
not much science on that occasion. but a
lot Of fun. and Il is thought Rugby has features
that may be introduced In the American
game with benent.

DROMIOS IN FOOTBALL.
New Britain High School Coaches VIII Have
Trouble to Tell Richard From Robert.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn, Sept. e.-How the
football coaches Of the New Britain High
SchOola are going to tell Capt. Richard Pinohes
and his twin brother. Robert. both members
Of the team, apart Ia what Is puzzling those
who are watching the football situation among
the schoolboys here. Their parents can't tell
one from the other and their friends new er
try to-. In football toys they look so much
alike that Capt. Pinches says that he can
always tell himself from his brother,
Both are seniors in the high school this
fall and have been members Of the football
team two years. In their freshman year
Richard tried for the team, but did not land.
and the next year both went In for football
and both made the team.
Some OF the football men have sugg ested
that the same scheme will have to be tried
on the gridiron this year to tell them apart
as was used by the boys mother when they
were small children. Then she was unable
to tell one from the other. so she tied different
colored ribbons on their arms and when asked
which was which would always have to roll
up the lads sleev es TO tell which one was
under inspection.
In the early days Of football in the local
school Archer Il. and Arthur r. Young. also
twins. were members OF the team. They
graduated from the school in 1899. Archer
having been captain OF the. football team
the preceding fall. None OF their friends
could tell them apart. and when they both
entered Wesleyan College even the pro-
fessors could NOT tell one from the. other.
They used TO pass on for each other and one
Of them took an examination for himself and
his brother and passed IL for both. None OF
the members Of the faculty learned of the
trick until the boys graduated. Archer was
captain Of the Wesleyan football team his last
year in college.
Recently two brothers. John and James
Curtin, who, although not twins, looked so
much alike that they were frequently taken
for each other. were members Of the high
school football team. Both held the position
Of captain Of the team In successiV . years.
