FIGHT FOR LIVES IN RAGING WATERS
TWO MEN HAVE NARROW ES-
 CAPE FROM DEATH.
BOAT OVERTURNED IN RIVER
Occupants Manage to Grasp Branch of Tree to Which They Are
 Forced to Cling for Three b Hours.

St. Paul.-For nearly three hours the other night Charlie White and Johnny King, half-breeds living at Mendota, fought for their lives in the icy waters of the Mississippi river near Fort Smelling, finally being res, cued by Mounted Patrolman Tom Mooney, of the Prior avenue night de tail. and John Carpenter, an expert enced river man.
 For three hours the men struggled with the current, managing to keep their heads above water by clingins to a slender limb of river willow, which threatened to snap at any min ute. When rescued they were on the verge of exhaustion and were un- able to stand. :.
 About six o'clock in the evening White and King were rowing down the river after an afternoons fishing, and had reached the half-submerged island just below the Fort Smelling bridge when the boat floated into an eddy. Instantly the board d-bottomed heavy flatboat was twirled about as though it were feather and the next instant it overturned.
 White and King made desperate effort to reach the boat, but it was swept beyond them by the current By hard swim against the current the men managed to reach a willow tree growing on the island, and of which the upper limbs alone were visible.
 King seized one branch and White another. but Whites branch was un- able to bear his weight and snapped, None of the remaining branches was heavy enough to sustain his weight, and he was obliged to cling to the branch to which King was hanging. The slender bough bent under the combined weight of the men, but held firm.
 Clinging for life to the branch with the water surging about their necks, White and King struggled for two hours with the waters of the river which. swollen by the heavy rains were rising. Shouting was of no avail. and they were about to give up in despair when King noticed a man walking along the bluff on the

An automobile driver was arrested recently while driving slowly through . village and fined five dollars. He de- manded why he had been so treated as he had not violated any speed ordi- nance, but could get no satisfaction. Later a court officer explained the whole matter by saying: We held a meeting last night and decided that this speeding must stop. This man was the first to come along slow enough for us to catch so we arrested him. IN. Y. Sun.

What a Country! What People!

Recently Henry Clews, the New
York fnancicr, issued thls bulletin:
Corn crop this year, >, 7OO. 600, o
900 bushels. Wheat crop, -, d.
600, 600 bushels. Cotton crop,
1000, 600 bales. United States
steel corporations net profit for the
last quarter, $40, 100000. \ man
died to day III Anconia. H., who
weighed AGO pounds, and was
seventy-three inches around the
waist. This should not be surpris-
ing, because he was born in the
corn belt county. a dark lady in
Texas recently gave birth to six
little blackies. What country!
What a people,"
Referring 10 the Clews bulletin,
Golfers Weekly says. One per-
son in every eight in the United
States is underfed, underclothed,
and underhoused. The average
income of the average family is not
far from 5000 year. An unskill-
ed laborer earns less than $500 a
year in the north and less than
$500 in the south. One per cent
of the fanatics of the country pos
sess more wealth than the remain
ing 80 per cent. Over |, 100, 600
children under fifteen years of age
are toiling in fields, factories,
mines and work shops. In the
year 1900 there were GAGS ,964
workers in gainful occupations un-
employed from one to three months.
Every year GO, 900 persons are
killed by accidents incident to their
work and 100000 are seriously
injured. Two thirds of the popu-
ation of New York are forced to
live in tenements, in which there
are $4,000 dark interior rooms.
Last week a woman was found
starving in Madison Square. a
thousand ladies of New York are
devoting themselves to the raising
of pet dogs instead of children &.
What IA country! What a people "
To which the Denver News adds:
1t is sad commentary that those
who are chiefly concerned with,
and who boast of the bigness,
might and wealth of the country,
seldom give any thought to the
other side of the question herewith
presented. Were it otherwise there
would be less reason for Mr.. Clews
and Others of his ilk deprecating
the agitation which they assert
disturbs business. "

WARNING on CANNON.

Before entering upon his cam
pmgn against Congressman Little
field. of Maine, Samuel {. Com
pcrs, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, stated that he
had not yet determined whether or
not he would 90 into Speaker Cam
mons district in an effort to defeat
the House leader. But he left no
doubt that organized labor would
turn its batteries loose in an effort
to defeat the Speaker for re- cleo
ton to Congress.
"Nor does the prospect seem hope

eight other members OF Congress were

come up on the floor IT the House he
adopted the most disgracciul method
ever seen there 10 defeat it, lie left
the chair and went from one member TO
another, builyrngging and browheailng
them.
When capital wanted the aunulmcnt

The above paragraph should be
read carefully by all laboring men,

Uncle Joe, as you know, is n
very dear friend of the big trusts

die for him any time. He thinks
they have a lawful right to plumber
the country and then give to the
working man enough of the crumbs
to keep him alive and in working
