MIKE JORDAN INJURED.
Had Portion of Right Foot Taken Off
by Trains.

- = -
by Trains.
Michael Jordan, one of the trusted
employees of the Northwestern road
in capacity Of brakeman, had a
narrow escape from death Thursday
while on duty.
The train on which was engaged
was in charge of Conductor Perry
and Robt. Schultz was in the cab.
While switching at Whitson juno
ton, Jordan slipped from the
ladder of the car of which he was
descending.
He fell across the rail but the car
was moving slowly and with rare
presence of mind the brakeman
threw himself away from the cruel
wheels just in the nick of time.
One unfortunate foot was caught
however, and badly bruised.
His companion brakeman, Guy
Etiquette, witnessed the accident and
FASTENED to the assistance of Jor-
dan. assisting him to the caboose
A quick run was made to Montfort
where two physicians gave the in
jured man prompt attention.
Later it was decided to take him
to the company's hospital at Chi
cago, where better treatment can
be rendered. He bore the journey
we'll and will have the best of care.
The exact particulars of the ac-
cident cannot be ascertained MIR.
Jordan himself cannot explain, only
that he slipped in descending the
ladder.
Mikes many friends here hope
that the injury sustained is not so
severe as reported. He has a wife
and one daughter residing here.
Mrs. JORDAN is a daughter of the
late j. B. Hore.

concerning his career from the
Plattevile Journal OF the 18th.
John Macarthur was born in
Lockp0rt, n. Y, October II, 1928
For several years he served as a
salesman in the mercantile bust
ness in Buffalo. n. Y In 1850, he
married Miss Kimbal, at Racine,
who was a sister Of Harry Kimball,
formerly Of this city.
In 1857, they came to Piatteville
to make this place their home,
and after a period of about two
years. MS wife died In 1868, Mr.. Nc
Arthur married Miss Willie Hooper,
daughter Of Hon VIM Hooper, who
was subsequently, delegate to Con-
gress from Utah. The second wife
died in Feb. of 1866. and the daugh-
ter born to this union died when
but fifteen months old.
The widow whom the deceased
leaves was Miss Sarah Bond of St
GATHERINGS, Canada. to whom he
was married at Chippewa, Canada
IN 1868. This wife, who is now
nearly blind, and for whom he has
so tenderly cared in her infirmity,
and one son, Clarence, who was as
ISOLATED with the father in business,
are left to mourn the loss of their
loved one. A sister residing in
New York, and a brother residing
in Jersey City, are still living, but
were unable TO be preseLt at the
funeral
Mr.. Macarthur has held many
offices of trust, all of which have
been filled with the utmost integrity.
For many years and up to the time
of his death, he was one of the
Trustees of the Asylum and County
Home. He has performed this duty
with the utmost care, and always
had its best interests at heart. For
two years he was chairman of the
Town Board.
Mr.. Macarthur was a good Chris
tan man and was one of a number
of others who were instrumental
in the founding of the Episcopal
church in this city in 1868, and was
warden for several years. He was
a regular attendant both morning
and evening until the last few
years, when owing to his age he
would be present at morning wor-
ship only and unless seen in his &C
customed place, his pastor we'll
knew he was seriously ILL.,
A man who has had the con-
fidence and respect of the public TO
the extent of being entrusted with
offices of honor and Importance,
has passed away, and the younger
generation who must be called on
TO carry on this work, have been
left an example of uprightnesS and
honor

Climatic Evils.

81 would say that unless the danger
was most imminent, it would not be
advisable to concentrate large fleet
with hundreds of officers and thou
sands of men in Philippine waters
The climate is not right, as l know
from personal experience.
Il believe one Of the reasons we
had such an easy victory over the
Spaniards was that they had been so
long in that enervatinf climate. | am
certain that we would not have fought
so well when we left as when we en-
tered.
AN enemy might take the Philip
pines and Hawaii, but as soon as we
met them on the sea they/>Sould have
to give them up. The very presence
of our sea force in the Pacific will
serve every purpose.

Rounding the Horn


Admiral Dewey said there should
be no trouble in taking the fleet
around the Horn into the Pacific. The
battleships, he said, should have no
more difficulty than ferry has In
crossing to Hoboken. 1t was merely
a question of coal and a question Of
dollars. So far as leaving the Allan
tic coast unprotected by the transfer
Of the feet. Admiral Dewey said there
was nothing to fear. There were no
enemies to threaten the Atlantic
coast, he said; and even If there
were, the army could care for them
The admiral said the coast defenses
here are in excellent shape.
In closing the interview, Admiral
Dewey intimated that he saw two
possible effects of Importance in the
transfer of the feet. He believes 1t
will urge the construction Of another
Atlantic fleet, with the ships now
building as nucleus and he hopes
# will stimulate and hasten the com
pletion of the Panama canal

balance of sea power on the Pacific.
The defenses on that are not up to
the standard of the Atlantic. That

There were 1880 Spanish SOL

the feet the war practically ended.
Fortunately, the United States is
so big, and has such vast internal re-
