NARROW ESCAPE OF C. PEARSON.
Falls Into Deep Well and Is Discovered b.
Intelligent Shepherd Dog.


Falls Into Deep Well and is Discovered by
Intelligent Shepherd Dog.
Charlie Pearson of Tintah, who is
visiting relatives in this locality, tells
us that he came near losing his life in
a deep we'll on the farm of Ephraim
Johnson and that he owes his escape
from death to the intelligence of a
shepherd dog. It appears that
Charlie was on a fishing expedition
at 4 o 'clock in the morning and while
crossing a field walked into an I'M
used well. By strenuous effort he
managed to get astride of a brace
about two feet above the water, where
he sat, unable to climb the shiny
sides of the we'll, until II O'Clock that
night. Throughout the day in that
underground prison he alternately
yelled and wept. But he might just
as we'll have been in the catacombs of
Rome SO far as chance of his being
heard was concerned, for he was a
long distance from either Travelled
road or dwelling house.
"Somewhere near II O'Clock at
night" says Mr.. Pearson, "while I
was telling myself that I guessed
would soon see my finish from either
drowning or starvation, I heard the
bark of dog overhead. I yelled as
loud as could: Go fetch 'em! Go
fetch 'em!' and the dog scampered
away. In about half an hour the
animal returned and again barked at
the mouth of the we'll. Shortly after
I heard voices and saw the light from
lantern. I knew then that my rescue
was near at hand. After word or
two of conversation with the men
above a rope was lowered, and I can
tell you it didn't take me long to
fasten it around my body. I was
pulled up by Mr.. johnson and his son
Ole, and the big shepherd dog which
had saved my life placed his paws
against me and licked my face. The
Johnsons took me to their home, and
after I had sufficiently recovered from
my weakness to travel, drove me to
the residence of my relatives.
''The elder Johnson told me that at
about II O'Clock at night 'Shep' set
up a fearful bowling outside the
house and he knew something was
wrong. He got out of bed, dressed
and went down stairs, when the dog
jumped against him and then ran off
in the direction of the we'll, returning
| several times to see whether MIR. John
son was following. Mr.. johnson
thought that perhaps horse had fall
len into the we'll so he took rope and
lantern with him. If I could obtain
that dog I would give almost any
price for it, but Mr.. johnson is so
devoted to the animal that a gold
mine wouldn't buy it.
~ tell you, Mr.. Union, that ex-
perience is nothing to laugh at.''

OLD STOCK ADVANCES.

The Chicago Potato Market Shows Better
Trading and Lighter Receipts.
Chicago-The market on old pota-
toes has undergone a decided advance
this week owing to lighter receipts
and out-of-town shipping demand.
Monday there were 60 cars of old
potatoes received and these together
with number of cars and parts of
cars which we're lying around from
last week, had a tendency to work the
market lower, although Saturdays
quotations we're maintained. Tues
day Is cars came in and there was a
better feeling in the market. Wednes-
day p cars we're reported and it was
easier to get outside prices owing to a
better demand. Thursday p cars
came in and the market was up three
to four cents. Burbanks sold at So
to SO cents; Rurals, So to So cents;
Kings, As to so cents.
The general impression among the
trade is that there are only few more
old potatoes in the country, and the
frmness which has developed in the
eastern markets the past few days has
had sympathetic effect in the entire
western territory. 1t is regarded
quite likely that some further ad-
vances will be made next week, but
nobody can tell what will happen un-
til the time comes. This much is sure:
There seems to be fewer miscellan-
eous lots of potatoes throughout the
country now and the supply seems to
be gradually dwindling to a close
point.
The situation on new potatoes
looks as if the whole shooting-match
had got mixed up with a balloon.
The first car of Texas stock arrived
early this week and has been followed
by other cars later in the week, which
consisted of the usual run of small,
uneven stock. When it was rumored
on the street some buyers were bid
ding around sl.25 for new potatoes
members of the local spud colony got
all up in the air and were hardly pre-
pared for later advices that even more
money was being paid.
1t would not be surprise to num-
Der of potato men if high prices
should rule for some time to come, as
the supply of new stock is limited in
nearly every potato section. Some
dealers believe it will be the middle of
June before new stock gets down in
price where old potatoes will be seri-
ously effected, if there are any left on
the market by that time.
The Packer has advices of num-
Der of new potato sections this season
and while there is general COM
plant of dry weather, etc., still it is
believed there will be enough potatoes
to 60 around. It should be remem-
bered that seed potatoes were taken
up freely by a great many potato
sections this year and the trade may
have a surprise in store in the supply
of new stock.
New Florida stock sells from 81 to
$3.50 for white, and red is quoted
S4.75 to 1915: Alabama reds, 81 to
S4.25; Louisiana, 10 pound sacks, red,
SLIGO to s1.75: white, $3.50 to S1.75;
Texas, 90 to 100 pounds red, $3.50 to
SLIGO; Louisiana, bushel boxes, $3.50.

Otherwise we must acknowledge OUT

Democrats Of Ohio.

Ohio has only one Democratic rep
resentative IN this congress Hon. H.
C. CARRIER. He is also chairman of the
state committee, and much of the credit
of electing a Democratic governor last
year should go to him. He Is an in
defatigable worker and a skillful or
gani7er. He has just returned to
Washington from Ohio and brings with
him splendid accounts of Democratic
prospects in that state. According to
Mr.. CARRIER, the Democratic administra-
ton has been and is pronounced sue
cess Notwithstanding the sickness of
the governor The Democrats in the
legislature appear to have done what
they promised to do and have left I'M
done what they said they would leave
undone or, to use the usual formula,
they have redeemed their ante-election
promises, a good thing to do always.
The chances are that Ohio, instead Of
having only one representative in the
Sixtieth congress, will have much near
er one dozen.

"TEMsE" AND "THAMEs."
brigin of the Saying About Setting
the River on Fire.

Br4Eln Ol the Saying ABDUL SCtIAMeS
the River ON Fire.
Sometimes when a person wants to
make an unpleasant remark in a pleas
ant sort of way about dull boy he
will say, THAT boy will never set the
river on fire. Now, that is all very
true, for even the smartest man in the
world could never set a stream of wa
ter on fire, and so perhaps many of
you who have heard this expression
have wondered what is meant by set
ting the river on fire.
In England many, many years ago,
before the millers had machinery for
sitting -four. each family was obliged
to sift its own flour. For doing this
it was necessary to use sieve, called
a tense, which was so fixed that it
could be turned round and round in
the top of a barrel If it was turned
too fast the friction would sometimes
cause it to catch fire, and as it was
only the smart, Woodworking boys who
could make it go SO fast the people
got into the way of pointing out lazy
boy by saying that he would never set
the tense on fire After. awhile these
sleeves went out of use, but as there
were still plenty of stupid boys in the
world people kept on saying that they
would never set the tense on fire.
Now, the name of the river Thames
is pronounced exactly like the word
tense, and SO after many years those
persons who had never seen or heard
of the cid fashioned sieve thought that
setting the tense on fire. meant set
ting the river Thames on fire. This
expression became very popular and
Travelled far and wide until the people
living near other streams did not see
why It was any harder for slothful
boy to set the Thames on fire than any
other river, and so the name of the
river was dropped, and everybody after
that simply said "the river meaning
the FLYER of his particular city or town,
and that is low it is that people today
talk Of setting the river on fire.

Republican Doctors Disagree.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat is a
Republican organ Of the stanchest sort.
So is the Washington Star. Here is an
editorial from the Star commenting on
Globe-D Democrat editorial, which fur
nishes much food for reflection:
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat thus fe-
dictates its party:
..Orthoiox Republican doctrine will be
heard on the stump in all the western
states in the coming campaign. No
speaker who win appear before the people
will find any reason to apologize for any
thing which the party has done or which
it is attempting to do. No newspaper or
Republican leader viii need to apologize
for anybody who will be active in the
campaign In all the positions of trust
and responsibility in the canvass of 1906
Republicans will be on guard.
1t is much too early to talk like this.
Congress may be in session two Or three
more months, and in that time the major
sty party may have some stirring expe-
rienees. The situation today is anything
but comfortable for the Republicans,
They could not afford to go to the country
on the record SO far made, for 1t is one
neither of strength nor consistency. 1t is
not too late to make it what it should be
in the things attempted, but there is no
time to lose.
What if the statehood bill fails or an
unsatisfactory compromise results? The
president gave his views verys frankly on
the subject, and the house ratified them.

A Tale of TWO Colonies.

Bold, brilliant belligerent and bizarre
are the adjectives which perhaps most
aptly describe the minds of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt. president of the
United States, and Colonel James Ham
ilton Lewis, once a representative in
congress from the new state of Wash

city of Chicago. These two are per-
sonal friends, both having served in
the Spanish American imbroglio. They
are both much in the limelight, because
nature, generous to each, fitted them
for the center of the stage Galonel
Lewis has been in Washington recent

the glad hand because in his two years
of service in the house he made more
indelible impression upon men and
things than an ordinary member would
have done in decade. While here he

stitutes what Horace Greeley would
have denominated mighty interesting
reading But surely there is a late
message of his White House friend
which Colonel Lewis ought to com
mend--I mean the one in which the
president excoriates Judge Humphrey
of Chicago for his decision in the beef
packers cases. That ought to warm
the cookies of the heart of Colonel
Lewis, for it was this same Judge
Humphrey who recently sentenced
Colonel Lewis to sixty days in jail for
bringing a certain suit in a state court
Colonel Lewis purged himself Of con-

friend and admirer I wish he had gone
to jail and served out his sixty days.

Hat Words In the House.

AS the sap rises in the trees, the tenn
per of members of the house of repre-
sentatiyes rises also. At first blush
there would seem to be nothing in the
subject of restricting immigration to
arouse personal animosities. Neverthe-
less it engendered such heat betwixt
Mr. Hopkins of Kentucky and Mr..
Bennett of New York that the house
squandered two hours Of valuable time
expunging from the record a half dozen
personal remarks made by Mr.. Hop
kins. On the eXpunging resolution
Hon. John Sharp Williams of Missis-
sippi was so wrought up that he de-
livered some remarks touching Mr..
Bennett SO personal that after two or
three days cooling time he voluntarily
asked that they be stricken from the
record. Mr.. Small Of North Carolina
and Mr.. Macon of Arkansas said such
bitter things to each other in debate
about the appropriation for the South
ern railroad that in the good old days
they would have pistoled each other at
Bladensburg Likewise, in running
fire debate concerning certain alleged
abuses at the ST. Elizabeth's Lunatie
asylum, General Grosyenor of Ohio
and Mr.. Clark of Florida used such
heated words that Mr.. Williams of Mis-
sissippi urged that they be stricken
from the record, which was done by
mutual consent
1t appears to be the general cOnsen-
sus of opinion that the presidents ora
ton touching s.the man with the muck
rake" is likely to rank with his most
notable performances, not, however,
because of anything he said on his
subject, but because of what he said
about taxing the large fortunes of dead
men. It will be remembered that dur
ing the discussion of the Income tax
feature of the Wilson tariff bill that il
lustrious orator, Hon William BourlSe
Cochran of New York. declared that it
would drive the very rich of Gotham
into the habit of committing perjury.
The presidents plan has one advan-
tage. for dead men cannot commit per-
jury-in fact, according to the old prov
