V0 Whisky fov Firemen
 While Fighting q Fire

Chief Bennett of the fire department has formally requested Mayor Ward to make public a statesment to the effect that during the progress of a fire no whisky is to be given to the firemen.
 It seems that while the fremen were fighting the First avenue fire Wednesday night. whisky was given to some of the members of the department, according to the chief. Whisky has tendency to render men less efficient.
 T know the motive which prompts eiti- zens to give whisky, to the fremen Is good one'' said the chief, but In addl- tion to being against the rules of the de- partment, the drinking of stlmulant

A citizen, seeing a fireman covered with water, cold. tired, Tagged out. will rush forward with whis- ky. The fireman will drink. and be stim- ulated for a few minutes. But after wards, the effect $ just the opposite of what I desire. The practice is a bad one, and I hope that whenever we again have occasion to fight fire that threat ems to do great damage. no whisky will be offered my men"

ACCIDENT HAPPENS TO
 BIG POWER MACHINE
Steel Crank Rod Was Bent By Water Getting Into the
 Cylinder.

steel crank rod, eight inches in diam ater on the largest machine for generat- ing power for the street railway system, bent almost double Wednesday afternoon as, the result of peculiar accident.
 In some manner water got into the cyl- inder of the machine, and when the crank rod pushed the plunger into the cylinder the water offered resistance. When the plunger went as far in as possible, the giant wheel kept pushing on the crank rod from behind with great force. Some thing had to give way somewhere, and the crank bent.
 Exactly how long it will require to re- pair the damage is not known. It was fortunate that the rod did not break. for if it had done so the machine might have been badly wrecked. Everything possible is being done to get the maehnie fin order again soon.

Mrs. J. A KImmsi Assaulted.

Mrs. Knowls Ethleem Kimmel,
age 27, wife of j. A. Kimmel, was
criminally assaulted shortly after
l O'Clock Thursday by an unknown
negro, who appeared at her home,
on Oakland avenue, Oakland City,
while she was alone and in her back
yard. Before Mrs. Kimmel had got
ten loose from the tiend he had
struck her hard blow over the head
with stick, beaten her arm, chased
her around the house, tore her clothes
in shreds and assaulted her.
Gaining her feet the plucky
woman ran into her house, seized a
double -barrelledNshotgun and fired
two shots at the....brute's retreating
form beforeIshe collapsed. Neigh
bors heard her screams and rushed
to her assistance, but the negro had
fed. A posse, headed by Marshal
Ryan, was Immediately formed and
bloodhounds were put on the trail,
which ran toward East Point.
When the negro first approached
the Kimmel home he politely asked
permission of Mrs. Kimmel to get q
drink of water. She informed him
that buttermilk had been spilled in
her we'll and that the water was not
good. He then requested her to
read an address on piece of paper
which he held in his hand. While
the unsuspecting woman reached for
the paper the fiend grabbed her.
After brief struggle Mrs. Kim
mel broke from his grasp and ran
around toward her front door, the
negro in close pursuit.
Just as she was about to gain her
doorsteps she was dealt blow on
the head, which reeled her. A fierce
struggle then ensued, which resulted
in the frantic woman being forced to
the ground, but not before she had
been badly bitten about the arm and
her clothing almost completely torn
from her body.
Mrs. Kimmel is we'll known lady,
her husband is a highly respected
farmer, and the attack made upon
her has greatly incensed the entire
community. Her condition as re-
suit of the assault is said to be quite
serious, and it was necessary to call
in DR.. Bell to attend her INJURIES

farmers union BUREAU.
Look, Listen, Farmers

Representatives of over six hun
dred thousand cotton producers are
in session to-day, 9th of September,
at Texarkana, Texas, for the purpose
of fixing price for their cotton.
When these prices have gone out
every newspaper that is friendly to.
ward the success of this movement
should publish these prices, just the
same as they do the cotton exchange
prices, and let every cotton grower
know what the producers say the
products of their labor is worth.
If the minimum prices fixed by
the Farmers Union is too low for
your idea, remember that you are
not bound to sell at the minimum
price, but you will surely break faith
if you sell for less than the minimum
price.
Next week we want to float oul
banner of the Farmers Union to the
breeze with our prices for cotton or
it, and we want all cotton growers
to stand by our colors and fight te
the finish for profitable prices.
