Saved From Death by Fit
of Coughing.

A fit of violent coughing saved Ca
leb Muir's life.
. Physicians have treated Muir for
lingering consumption" for thirty
years; he has taken tons of pills in
that time. But he coughed up the
lead pill'' that caused all the trouble
"a bullet which hit him when caval-
ryman under General Phil Sheridan
in the Shenandoah Valley.
Muir says now he never felt bet
ter. He has gained eight pounds in
comparatively few days.
The veteran lives at Plainfield, N.
j. Lately he had one of his sinking
spells and while he coughed fit to
crack his lungs the bullet popped out
of his open mouth.
Muir was shot three times in the
breast in a cavalry skirmish.

Looked Like Old Times.

The Mayfield Messenger reports:
Wednesday looked like old times in
the tobacco business. Wagons began
to roll in the city early in the morn
ing and continued during the whole
day. They came from all parts of
Graves county. from Carlisle, Hick-
man, Fulton, Weakley county, Tenn,
Galloway and Marshall.
There were eight hundred wagons
in the city during the day, and 1t Is
estimated that over 100000 pounds
of tobacco were delivered in May
field, brought here by these wag-
ons.
The farmers are receiving large
sums of money for their tobacco. This
tobacco was brought to the city and
most of It was association tobacco
and the balance was delivered to the
various buyers of the city.
The strong fight made against the
tobacco trust by the farmers and
their friends has been the means by
which our farmers are enjoying the
pleasures of lots of money for their
labor.

WILD RIDE
In Night Clothes to Save Her Burn
ed Husbands Life, but
All in Vain.

Highmore, S. d., March S.-Like La
dy Godiva, who rode uncovered
through her native town to save its
inhabitants from the conquerOr's
sword, a South Dakota woman rode
to save her husbands life.
Almost stalk naked, only the rem
nant of a night robe shielding her
form from the biting cold of zero
weather, Mrs. Andrew II. Lien. a
bride of eight months, rode on horse
back three miles over the Snow to
summon aid to her dying husband,
whose scorched body she carried from
a burning farm house.
Lien was building a fire in a stove
upon his return from town. His wife
was in bed. He used kerosene and
an explosion followed, the flames en-
veloping his body. With his clothing
blazing the man made Intellectual eff
forts to extinguish the flames, calling
meanwhile for help. Mrs. Lien, awak-
ened by the explosion and the voice
of her husband, leaped from the bed
and wrapped the body Of her husband
in a quilt. Her hands and arms were
terribly burned and her night robe
nearly consumed.
The house was In flames and the
young wife carried her suffering hus-
band through the blaze out of doors
and to the barn, walking the entire
distance in bare feet through snow
drifts. There she wrapped his blist-
cred body in the quilt and rolled him
in the hay. Unable now to re-enter
the house for clothing or to reach the
telephone, Mrs. Lien bridled a horse
and leaping astride it, rode three
miles to the nearest neighbours for as
sistance. From there a physician was
summoned.
Mrs. Lien tainted, but upon recover
ing insisted upon returning to her
husband, who died at daybreak, after
an affecting farewell to his bride
wife.
Mrs. Lien collapsed, owing to Sc
we're burns and exposure, and it is
feared she will die.

SALT RIVER.
Short Sketch Of the Kentucky Stream
Whose Name Politics Has
Made Famous.

Salt river, sacred to defeated can
didates; is a real stream. While not
navigable. 1t is used every winter as
an ice harbor by the towboats which
go out of Pittsburg for the south.
In the public mind there is only
one stop on Salt river. That is
Parker's landing. This is an error
in geography. Parker's landing is
up Allegheny, and has no connection
with Salt river.
Salt river empties into the Ohio
about 25 miles south of Louisville
1t is a small stream, which flows
from the Kentucky hills to the great
water, and is as tortuous, as crook
ed and as unpleasant to navigate as
the mind can imagine. Yet it is
navigated for a short distance from
it's mouth by steamers of light draft.
Flatboats and RATS are floated down
upon its bosom. Before the Civil
war 1t was an important stream in
the matter of bringing Kentucky
whiskey down in the flatboats to a
point where they could be unloaded
to river steamer. Refractory

Why Women Of Frame Marry,

a French statistician has been de-
voting considerable time recently to
discovering the reason for which /wo-
men are anxious to get married.
His inquiries included questions
addressed to 50 girls between the
ages of 10 and Il, asking them why
they wished to get married The re-
suit was as follows:
Five wished to marry in order that
they might go out unchaperoned
Fen because they would then be
able to amuse themselves.
Five because their husbands would
enable them to travel.
Seven so that they would own their
own homes.
Four looked forward to possessing
a family.
Three did not wish TO marry at
all,while 81 were anxious to be marri-
ed. but could give no specific reason
why.
Not one of the girls suggested love
as a motive for matrimony.

Quarreled About a Preacher.

Lawrenceburg. KY, March AL
fred Best, well known and wealthy
farmer of the western part of this
county. died last night at his home
as the result of being hit on the head
week ago with stone-hammer by
his nephew, John Best.
The injury was inflicted week ago
when the men quarreled over the APP
pointment of a minister for the Pleas
ant Grove Baptist church. John Best
could not be found last night, but his
father telephoned this morning that
the slayer would surrender himself
tomorrow.

slaves were generally assigned to the
task of bringing these boats down,
as the work was arduous.
Salt river became bugaboo among
negroes, and 1t was from the unpleas-
ant character of the work on this
river that "a trip up Salt river" came
to be used in politics to express the
destination of a defeated candidate.
There is not a river captain OF. pi-
lot on the Ohio river who does not
know Salt river, and there are few
who have not sought shelter within
its mouth when the ice was running
out of the Ohio.
The salt name is supposed to have
come from the salt springs which flow
into it at its source. 1t is also said
the name grew out of the fact that
great quantities of salt produced in
the Kentucky country are floated
down this stream.

Value of a Boys Life.

A new valuation on the life of 10
year-old boy was made by a jury IN
the Supreme Court before Justice
Ford, In which Mary Netelsky was
awarded $S,S5S.33 for the killing of
her son Harry. The boy was run ov-
err by wagon owned by the Hudson
Coal Company, of New Jersey, ON jan

cases have run from 81 to $4,000.

spread rapidly and that the miners
will make an attempt to capture and

KIRCHwAY's LETTER.

New York, NY, Feb. 2S, 1907.
The President of the United States
Detailed reports received from Rus
STA show that millions of people, af-
flicted by a terrible famine, are in a
starving condition. All relief thus
far organized has proved inadequate
to cope with this great calamity,
which affects a region half as large
as the continental territory of the
limited States. Unless early aid is
forthcoming the loss Of life will be
incalculable.
With a view of showing in a help
full way the deep sympathy which the
people OF the United States feel for
the people of Russia in their dis
tress, the Russian Famine Relief
Committee has been formed to solicit
subscriptions in this country. Ar
aDgemeEts have been made by which.
the money solicited by this commit
tee will go as directly as possible to
the relief of the suffering without
delay.
Confident of your sympathy for
these fellow beings, We write to ask
your aid in calling the attention OF
the American people to the need Of
prompt and generous contributions,
and we shall also be pleased If you
can see fit to recommend or suggest
our committee as the channel through
which these may be sent.
