Tot Is a Heroine.

The three-year-old daughter Of Fred
Stauffer, a farmer residing ten miles
northeast of Webster City, saved her
baby sister from death by drowning in
a tub of water. The baby was a year
and half old and had been playing
about the house with its older sister.
While the parents were in another
part of the house, the children went
outside to play. There was a large
tub filed with water standing at the
pump, and into this the babe in some
manner fell, Reinforcement. No one
witnessed the accident except the
older child. She at once grasped the
dress of the baby and managed to
raise its head from beneath the water.
She was unable to lift it out of the
tub. but held tightly to its dress until
her cries brought her mother to her
assistance and the little ones life was
saved.

Some will do one and some the other.
w. H. Farnsworth, chairman of the

and attorney for the Milwaukee rail-
road, has resigned his political posi-
ton and stuck to the pass. DR.. F. j.
Taylor, mayor of SaliX, who has been
surgeon for the Northwestern rail
road for ten years, prefers mayor to
passholder, and has turned in the
pasteboards. The mayor of Sac City,
on the other hand, has resigned as
chief executive of that town of 1900
and clings to his passes and his posi-
ton of right-of-way agent for the
Northwestern. College professors and
officials of educational and charitable
institutions will not be affected by
the anti-pass law. A new form of

Northbound passenger train No. 6
was wrecked mile and a half west
OF Gladbrook last week. One car
Jumped the track at bridge. The
train was running fifty miles an hour,
but fortunately the derailed train ran
on the ties until the far side of the
bridge was reached, thus passing
over the stream in safety. After
reaching the far side of the bridge
four coaches were overturned and
several persons injured, but, it is be-
lieved, none of them fatally. The fol-
lowing is a list Of those most seriously
hurt: Mrs. H. A. Drury of st. Paul,
Mrs. D. P. Roe of New Sharon, Mrs.
w. H. Matthews Of Marshalltown, G..
w. Hughes of Marshalltown. Mrs.
Drury and Mrs. Matthews are the
most seriously injured. Scores of
other passengers in the Inflated cars
were more or less bruised There
were fifty passengers on the train.
The wreck was due to the water tank
jumping the track about fifty rods
from the bridge. During that distance
the tank was drawn across the ties,
the hanges OF the wheels cutting the
ties half in two.

Fight For Life With a Maniac.

lac, Edna Fritz, young girl, fought a
terrible battle for her life at Oksaloo-

when Mrs. Frank Parr called to her.
She approached the house and, an
sverfng Mrs. PARIS beckoning smile,
went in. The woman having led the
girl into closet and securely locked
the door. her whole demeanor changed.
"Now am going to kill you," she
said, and reached into the bosom of
her dress and drew forth razor and a
desperate struggle began. The man.
lac slashed great gashes in the girls
breast before the latter succeeded in
grabbing the handle of the razor The
handle breaking, Miss Fritz seized the
blade, and though her hand was badly
out she at last wrested it from the
mad woman. The girl then closed
with her assailant, at the same time
reaching behind her to the bolt of the
door. Getting this unfastened, she
ran outside and began screaming for
assistance. Mrs. Parr picked up a
club and began pounding the girl
ever the head. The latter at last es-
capped and fled to her home, still hold
fng the razor. Miss Fritz was terri
bly, cut, but 1t is not thought her in
juries will prove fatal. Mrs. Parr is

Burglar steals Sermons.

What does burglar want of a par
sons sermons? This is the question
that puzzles Rev. Briggs, who is pas
tor of the Congregational church at
Ooheydan. While attending service
the parsonage was entered by thieves
and the bureau drawers ransacked.
The intruders were evidently after
valuables, took $500 in notes and car
ried away also several sermons in
manuscript that the parson had care
fully prepared for future delivery to
his parish members. There is no
clue to the religiously inclined depre-
dators.

And of course always obey Instructions.
We were expected, under the law, to take
into custody those who had been here I'M
lawfully, and that was what was doing.
Sinking Duty.
IT always obey instructions" he says,
and that is precisely what the rest OF
them ought to do-obey the instructions of
congress expressed by statute or by reso-
lution-and the chairman of this commit
tee and his great committeeman l give
them ample credit for it. all they are en-
titled to-have been fighting during this
entire congress, and as a matter of fact
the fight was begun in the last one to
break up the practice of government Off
Gals violating the laws which we pass
Yet here is Il most fragrant case of the
executive department failing to carry
out the will of congress by Sinking it's
duty to the people. Certain department
officials appear to lie awake of nights
studying the art Of how not to do it.
Some of them appear to think that the
only proper function of congress is to
make appropriations to pay their salaries
or course there are plenty of good and
conscientious men among them who do
their whole duty.
1t was matter of common run1or four
or five months ago, when this boycott was
first talked of, that there was danger of
the present secretary of commerce and
labor being compelled to resign his posi-
ton because he did not agree with the
policy Of the president touching these
Chinese. Now, 1t turns out that after
congress solemnly passed law-and that
law was not passed in corner either; it
was passed after weeks of hearings before
the house and senate committees on
foreign affairs and after great debate
In this house and after a long tusse with
the senate conferees, who did not want
any bill that would really exclude China
men; that Is the truth about it-and after
we got that law on the statute book and
after we appropriated the money to en-
force 1t the secretary of commerce and
labor, according to the statement of Mr..
Sargent, practically suspends law pass
ed by the American congress and signed
by the president Of the United States. If
this modus operandi is to be perpetuated
we might as well resign and go home
and turn the whole thing over to the ex-
ecuttve department, thereby saving to the
taxpayers of the country the expense of
maintaining the congress. The sooner
every federal official in this country is
taught the important lesson that when we
pass any sort of law 1t shall be en-
forced to the letter the better 1t will be
for everybody and the more effectively
this government will be run.

ranged, including baseball games, foot
races and other contests Of skill and
strength and in the afternoon shoot
ing tournament will be held by local

After LittIefieId,s Scalp.

Hon. Charles 3. Littlefeld of Maine
has been up in his own bailiwick for
some time while matters of great pith
and moment are being debated and
voted on in congress. He is said to
have on his hands the fight of his life
for denomination. 1t is also said-in
fact, Mr.. Littletield says SO himself in
the public prints-that Hon. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation Of Labor, is aiding in the
effort to take his congressional scalp.
II so, Mr.. Littlefeld has good cause for
the hustle he is now manifesting.
While as a rule the Pine Tree State is
reliably Republican, it is only few
years ago that her people rose in their
might and cleaned out the Republicans,
horse, foot and dragoon. If anybody
doubts that, let him call Senator Eu-
gene Hale and ask him if he has any
more or less painful recollections on
that subject. What has been done may
be done again, and it would delight the
hearts Of patriotic citizens to see Maine
Democrats once more in house and SEN
ate and to see another Democratic gov
ernor Of Maine.

she was hurriedly sent to the hospital,

institution. 1t is believed she was at

been fractured by blow from ham

the name of Wilson from Milwaukee
as being implicated in the murder. A
search is now being made for him.
The first clue to the identity of the
woman was disclosed by the woman
herself Just before her death. In the
course of her delirious raving she men
toned the name of Mrs. Ellison Of
Ellsworth, Wis. Later in the evening
Chief Doyle got into communication
with the town marshal at that place
and after few minutes conversation
was convinced that the dead woman
is named Ellison, that she was a sin
