HER PET AVERSION.
The Reason One Woman is Afraid of
Her Rathfub

81 know a good many people are
afraid of a bathtub," said woman,
"but not in the way that / am I am
not afraid Of the water after | am in
the tub. It's getting in and out l am
afraid of, though water in a bathtub
has been deadly, too, to some. 1 knew
of man once who was drowned in
his bathtub. Many man has drowned
in his bathtub, but / know the widow OF
this one, and that was what brought it
home to me. Whenever they intro
duced her they whispered, Her hus-
band was drowned in a bathtub'
cit seemed to me a sort of disgrace
to her, that way of dying. If he want
ed to drown, why didn't he go to the
river? If he didn't do it purposely,
then it was the fault of the bathtub,
and that makes it dangerous thing, to
my notion.
81 knew another man who was Seri-
ously injured by bathtub. He was
great friend of mine He had prom
ised to helt5 me in lot Of ways, with
my work and one thing and another.
Then he was taken very ill. He was
upon the verge of recovery and had
written me he was coming to call in
a day or two, when I got word that he
had fallen in the bathtub or on It'll
have forgotten which, or maybe 1t fell
on him-and had broken three ribs.
II never get in or out of my bathtub
without thinking Of him and his three
ribs or without being afraid I'll fall
on the edge of it and knock out all
my front teeth."-New York Press.

s'REFoRM RUN RIOT
Wisconsin Central Official Scores In
,e@- dictment Move.

/ Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 9.--An Off
cial of the Wisconsin Central road,
when asked today about the indict-
ments against officers of that company
in Milwaukee, said:
It is case of reform run riot.
The officials Of the road have been
indicted for allowing an elevator COM.
pany one-half cent a bushel transfer
charges on grain. The necessity for
this arose from the fact that the Wis
consin Central road has no elevator
of its own. at Minneapolis, while all
of its competitors have. The other
roads make, no charge for passing grain
thru their elevators.
For this reason it was necessary for
the Wisconsin Central road, in order
to meet this competition to allow IL
cent bushel for transferring grain
from cars of the Great Northern.
Northern Pacific, 500 road and other
lines to the cars of the Wisconsin Cen
trail. The " cent bushel elevation is
the regular allowance as established
by the Minneapolis Chamber of Com
merce. In other words, the Central be-
ing without conveniences Of its own
for the handling of grain, had to hire
the service done. The technical point
is made by the district attorney in
bringing the indictments that this al
lowance should have been published BY
the road, SO thatseveryb ody might have
been aware of it. AS 8. matter Of fact.
the allowance was made indiscriminate-
" to any elevator company that per-
formed sthe service, and there was no
intention or desire to favor any par.
ticular elevator.

Cured were fiat houses. Three of them
were occupied by whites and two by
negroes. Most of the tenants were in
bed when the fires broke out, and

Frank Morris of Boston, vaudeville
performer, was arrested on suspicion Of
setting. the fires. The police allege
that in each Of the fires when they
fled from their apartments that Morris

ton, was arraigned in police court, Fire
Marshal Prial expressed the opinion
that he was mentally irresponsible and
asked the magistrate to commit him
