RUNAWAY HORSE THREATENS
CHILDREN'S LIVES.
Young Animal Tethered TO Weight
Frightened ut Exploding Torpedo,
Which Mischievous Boys Place on
Car Tracks.
Especial to Lake County Times.)


East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 24.-Peter
Klootwik, a truck gardner who re-
sides on Sheffield avenue in Hammond,
had a runaway this morning that en-
dangered the lives of several children
who happened to be on the street at
the time.
KIootwik had left his horse. which
was a young chestnut. hitched to a
weight in an alley near Olcott and Chi
cago avenues, when some boys, who
had some torpedos left over from the
Fourth of July, put them on the street
car track in Chicago avenue.
When a car went by the explosives
made such a racket that kootwik's
horse became frightened and started to
run away.
1t ran down the alley TO Olcott ave-
nue. and then turned the corner so
swiftly that the wagon was overturned
and the wagon box was thrown of.
Some children who happened TO be on
the street at the time. were nearly run
over and it seems that it was only a
miracle that saved them.
Nose Specter proved himself hero
by stopping the horse.

Racing Machine Turns Over
Badly Injuring Chauffeur
at Crown Point.
CROWD IS MORTIFIED
Closing Event at Lake County Fair
Brings Disaster - Patient
Has Even Chance.

William Healey. an expert chauffeur
of Chicago, figured in one of the most
sensational accidents which has ever
been seen in Lake county. The acct
dent occurred while the car was be-
ing driven at the terrific pace of more
than a mile a minute at the Crown
Point fair grounds yesterday in the
two mile race for the champion cup
presented by the Lake County Fair
association.
1t was at the finish of a grand race
in which Healey beat out his rival by
the narrow margin of four or five feet
and as he passed the wire amid the
tumultous cheering of the spectators,
they were Mortified to hear a sound
like an explosion, after which the ma
chine skidded a few feet, hit an OBJ
struction and flew up into the air like
a shot, amid great clouds of dust,
which partially screened the horrible
sight from the spectators, who a few
seconds ago had been cheering in ex-
ultation.
1t was most marvellous that the
man was not instantly killed. and no
one who saw the big machine shoot up
into the air like a living thing and
against the pole in it's path. ever ex-
pected to see the driver come out of
it alive In an instant the huge crowd
swarmed upon the track, trembling
with fright and excitement, and it was
with difficulty that the body of the
injured man could be removed to a
cool place and the crowd kept back so
that the victim Of the accident could
nj M T1a
found that no bones were broken and
he had escaped most marvelously.
1t is not possible that the machine
could have struck the driver in its
aeriel tour, as it would have killed
him instantly. because of it's terrific
momentum. Healey was found lying
beside the big car with the stub of
his cigar still in his mouth, apparently
lifeless. After several minutes, how
ever. he was brought to, after the
application of water and ice. and from
then on his chances of living were
about even. He is now staying at the
home of Mrs c. Hart on East Joliet
street, where he is receiving the best
of medical attention.
The cause of the accident was the
breaking of the right hand front wheel
on the first turn OF the finish. The
wheel had been broken in practice the
day before, but it was spliced and
patched so that it could be entered in
the race today. Healey would have
had no trouble had he not violated all
rules of racing when he glanced around
him to see If he had finished in We
lead, and going at the terrific pace he
was, before he got his eye on the track
again he had gone about twenty feet
further than he should have on the
turn and he was forced to make such
short one that the strain proved to
be too much on the weakened wheel,
which instantly gave way.
1t is said that Healey made the state
ment before the race that he would
win the final or die in the attempt, and
it may develop that he will accomplish
both.

Little Taft Sentiment

"AIl over New England 1 discovered
that Republicans had the conviction
that the New York Governor typifed
best the principle of the people against
the bosses, and expressed their desire
to enforce that principle by supporting
him for the Presidency, 1 heard little
except opposition to Roosevelt"
How about Taft?"
There is little or no sentiment for
him Those with whom l have talked
seem to regard him merely as a pawn
for Roosevelt. Let me tell you that
the days of the Presidential Warwick
have departed.
Last years experience in this State
ought to teach US a lesson. That cleo
ton was a virtual defeat. which unless
something radical is done may be re-
peated this Fall and next year, pro-
vided we do not exercise care and intel
ligence in the nomination of candidates
for office.
Il purpose to remain in the political

GROUND PHOSPHATE ROCK.
It Has a High Value When Mixed In
with Barnyard Manures.

We are more than ever convinced
of the great value to every farmer of
using ground phosphate rock in his
stables and in his manure heaps. The
natural phosphate has been worked
out of a large proportion of our soils.
Farmers notice a growing uncertainty
in their grain crop. They lay it to
the seasons, but the real difficulty is
that the soil has lost some Of its
original elements. The soil is like
the animal body in its demand for
food. The three things, nitrogen,
phosphorus and potash, that the body
requires in food, the land requires.
All this summer long, just as in pre-.
vious summers, every farmer has
been piling up manure from his
horses and some from his cattle in
the barnyard and it has been rained
upon and the hot sun has shone on It
and a very large part of its value has
gone into the air.
How easy 1t would have been to
have provided ones self with phos-
plate rock and sprinkled the manure
heaps each week with a sufficient
amount to absorb and hold the am
monia, which Is nitrogen. Then,
when the farmer hauls out that
manure lin the fall to the meadow.
land that he is to plant with corn
next spring, he not only has saved
a great waste of nitrogen but he has
added the very phosphorus the soil
needs. AS farmers, says a writer in
Hoard's Dairyman, we must begin to
organize Dur knowledge and thought
more in the line Of getting back to
the original fertility Of our land. Sea-
sons have their effect, but they do not
play as great a part as we think.
Somehow 1t will be noticed that good,
rich, well-drained land gives a fair crop
in almost any. kind of a season. The
first thought of a good farmer should
be the keeping up Of the fertility of
his land. 1t is almost a crime to
handle manure so as to waste the
most valuable part OF 1t.

HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE.
MIR. Jerome Evidently Was Aware Of
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife of Judge
Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook,
and since she had no other resource
she rolled up her sleeves and for d
week provided such meals as the judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way Of appreciative acknowl-
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was a good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintances of the Blanks and a
spirit of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was in
this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited
the story to her husband. What do 1
get, Jerry?" she asked, "if l will do
the cooking for a week." WELL"
said Mr.. Jerome, "at the end of a
week, my dear, you'll get n of those

MoLDY CORN.
II Should Not Be Put In Crib with the
Other Corn.

There is a variety of expressions
about the moldy corn, says a writer in
the Bloomington CHI Pantograph.
Most farmers think there is not so
much as last year.
One man who said he thought he
did not have so much moldy corn, was
surprised when the first load came in
to find quite a large amount Of 1t,
and said that none Of it should go into
the crib; that he thought if the
weather got damp and warm it would
help to spoil other corn in the crib.
Another farmer who usually looks
pretty closely to his corn, said that
he got two ears from the field about a
month ago, before the corn was very
hard; n of them was of the type he
selected for seed and the other one
was partly affected with the dry mold,
so prevalent last year. Without think
ing of what might happen, he tied the
two ears together and hung them on
the north side of a building, where
they had remained. On taking them
down recently, the seed ear was found!
to be moldy On the side next to the,
other ear, for a space of five or six
rows wide.
Not a few farmers are of the opin-
ion that the mold lives in the soil or
in the rubbish of the field, especially
If the moldy ears are thrown down
when found or are left in the field, and
thus is carried over from year to year.
Perhaps the mold is not so apparent
this season as usual because of a lack
of just the kind of weather to propa-
gate it.
One of the best corn experts in the
state, H. A. Winter, of Wenona, said
last year he believed that this dry rot
may have been the cause of so much
poor seed corr 1t frequently happens
that IN otherwise good looking ear has
a trace of mold around the tips of the
grains just next the cob, perhaps only
on n side or one end, and so is over
looked, when the seed selection is
made.
1t seems as If 1t would be a good
time to stamp out the mold when
there is a small amount of it, by de-
stroying every ear that can be found.
From what is known Of this disease
it certainly would be a safe and prac-
tical thing to take special pains to pre-
vent any of the moldy ears from re-
naming In the field or the corn crib
to contaminate sound corn.
Instead Of dropping a moldy ear to
the ground or letting 1t remain in the
husk on the stalk, when discovered,
every such ear should be snapped and
thrown into a box attached to the
side of the wagon.
When unloading at the crib, every
IA at all affected with the mold
should be separated from the other
corn, throwing it into a box or barrel
provided for the purpose. There is
very little feeding value, ever for
pigs and chickens in corn so dam
aged, and it would better be destroyed
by burning.

No Need for Maiden to Seek Further

Prince Dabro, the young Egyptian
who has come to America to study the
