FIREMEN BADLY scoRcHEo.
cowardly Men on the Ground Left
Their Posts.

East ST. Louis, Ill.-Four firemen,
hoisted in an electric crane twenty
feet above five enormous furnaces at
the American Foundry company's
plant, fighting fire on the roof, were
left stranded half an hour because the
men operating the crane became
frightened and left their post. The
heat from the furnaces and burning
roof became almost unbeatable, and
for half an hour the firemen pleaded
to be let down. At last Fireman Mike
Sullivan, in desperation, jumped to
the ground between the seething fur
naces, threw rope to his comrades
and they descended, badly blistered.

More Converts to Drainage.
There are more converts to drainage work
among the farmers of the Red river valley than
ever before. The excessive rainfall this season,
added to partial crop failures for the four
previous years, has made the farmers near the
river take notice Of the situation. p
r Several drains have been constructed in the
county by the local board, but the chief COM
plaint heretofore has been that the drains are
too small. The country is SO level that the
fall is necessary slight. The bitches fill up with
water and the land is not drained as it should
be: new county drainage board has Just been
appointed, and some action is to be taken this
summer for more drains in the sections that are
most subject to damage. The fact that the
banks of the river are higher In some sections
than the rest of the farm lands also prevents
natural drainage. ~ -.'-'-'r5-. -, 20 b. ~;

It may be that these figures will be changed
somewhat by contests by the supporters Of

for the Perkins followers to find ground for
contest.
AT Fairfield, also, the Cummins supporters
ganized the Jefferson county convention, but
the Perkins men may contest. Should contests
develop in all three of these counties it would
make the vote to date stand: Cummins, 71s;
Perkins. 561; Rathbun, 80; contested lis. But
at that, Cumnlins is left to date with a major

There may be some doubt as to Jasper eoun-
ty going to Cummins. Both sides claim 1t,
but the indications all along have been that
it will line up for the governor, and this is
what seems most likely to happen tomorrow.
The nine counties yet to act have the fol-

chance in only one Allamakee and it is not at
all certain to go for him. Caucuses thus far In
Dallas seem to assure that county to Cum

by Cummins. rz.---
