SHE'S A PLUCKY GIRL.
Miss Helen Lindsay Guides Runaway
Horse Safely Two Miles.

Miss Helen Lindsay, eldest daughter
of DR.. w. S. Lindsay. had a thrilling
two mile ride behind a runaway horse
last night and fortunate escape from
injuries or possibly death. Her escape
was all the more remarkable when 1t
is considered that the streets and roads
over which the runaway steed dashed
We're crowded with teams and autOIno-
biles and had it not been for the Gour-
age and GOODNESS of the slender Young
driver it is more than likely that the
ride would have terminated different
".
Miss Lindsay had started for a driva
fromN her home on the corner of Four
tenth street and Western avenue. ana
before the horse had left the driveway
from the stable he started to run. Dr.
Lindsay was sitting on the front porch
and saw the animal start but was pow
erless to lend aid to his daughter, who
was Juggling It the reins with all CT
her strength.
C. A. Kleint, butcher, who was
passing stopped and took DR.. Lindsay
into his buggy and urging his animal to
it's topmost speed endeavored TO over
take the runaway horse. Block litter
block the runaway horse raced but all
the time adding to the distance be-
tween himself and his pursuers While
Dr. Lindsay and the driver of the
buggy in which he was riding urged
their horse to it's utmost speed.
The young driver behind the runaway
guided her steed with a masters hand,
and when 1t was necessary to turn a
corner widened it as much as possible,
and though the turns which We're num-
erous were more than once made with
two of the wheels free from the road.
DIR. Lindsay's stable man, Wilbur He'll
man, hitched another horse and with
Merrill a son of DR.. Lindsay's, started
after the procession of running horses
but they too lost ground and failed to
overtake it.
Miss Lindsay finally stopped the horse
unaided at a farmers house.

END OF YELLOW FEVER.

New York, June 13.-Colonel William
c. Gorgan, U. S. A. federal commissions
er in the charge of the sanitation of the
Panama canal zone addressing the grad
uating class of the Cornell university
medical college here, propheSied that
gradually within the next two or. three
centuries tropical countries, which offer
much greater return for mans labor
than do the temperate zones, will be set
tied by the white races, and that again
the centers of wealth, civilization and
population will be in the tropics. as they
were in the dawn of mans history, rath-
eF than in the temperate zones as at
present"
Colonel Gorgas bases his opinion on
the sanitary achievements since the
American military occupation of Cuba
in 1898 and those in the canal zone since
American possession in May, 1904. The
last case of yellow fever in the canal
zone, he said. occurred in December,
1905 which was only about sixteen
months later. He described the war of
annihiliation waged against the
stegomia yellow fever) mosquito and
against the anopheles (malaria) mos
quito, and continued:
