Life by Quick Action.

Life by Quick Action.
TECUMsEH, Neb., July 2S.-(Specisl.)-
Eugene Phillips, the 13-yesr-old son Of Mr.
and Mrs George A. Phillips, who live west
of this city, was the victim of terrible
accident yesterday afternoon, but escaped
with his life.
Meyer Bros. and crew of men were at
the Phillips home threshing and Eugene
had been given some light work about the
machine. Boy like, he climbed to the top
of the .thresher while 1t was In motion.
Elmer Meyer, one of the threshers, had
been climbing onto the machine to inspect
the beater, which had needed attention.
He went onto the machine, and without
paying attention to the boy, opened the
trap doors to the beater. At this time the
boy who was evidently engaged in watch
ing the engine, took a backward step and
his left foot was set down into the beater
jaws Mr.. Meyer saw what had happened
at once, and, grabbing the boy, prevented
the machinery from dragging him in to
certain death. Mr.. Meyer could not extri-
cate the unfortunate boys foot, but was
able to prevent his leg from going into the
beater. The man hung onto the boy and
endeavored to throw the belt from that
section of the machinery. but could not.
He was calling for help every second and
soon the predicament was seen by others
and the machine stopped.
During the time 1t continued to run
Eugene's foot was being beaten with the
rapidly revolving machinery. He was taken
to the house and Drs. Stewart and F1tE-
simmons summoned. 1t was necessary to
remove the create part OF the foot. leaving
a stump with the heel. One bone of the
leg was broken just above the ankle. He
was very low last evening. suffering from
the amputation and shock. but is said to
be getting along nicely at this time

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY ., 1906.
THE POINT OF VIEW.

Since Stuyvesant Fish sounded the
note of alarm in regard to the finan-
cial situation there have been various
and varied opinions voiced regarding
the immediate future. Such an emil
nent authority as Henry Clews says
that much depends upon the point of
view. Some authorities are exceed
ingly pessimistic while others are
equally optimistic.
The great Industrial leaders are
very hopeful. They find that con-
sumption is still ahead Of production
and that much continued activity will
be necessary to meet the current de-
mands. One instance will serve to
illustrate this point. This country
has risen to q point where It is pro-
ducing As per cent Of the worlds pig
iron and nearly so per cent OF the
worlds copper and yet there Is a
shortage Of both. establishments in
connection with those industries in
many cases have orders on their books
which Will keep them fully employed
for q year to come. Men in such posi-
tons cannot help but be hopeful.
At the other end Of the line are the
financiers and dsinterested observers
who are impressed with the over ex-
tension Of credit. with the imitation of
values. and with the unpleasant de-
velopments In political life arising
from past great abuses OF the money
power. In the latter they see the pos
sibilities OF much political agitation
and more or less adverse legislation
aimed chiefly at the great corporations.
but which in the end will be factor
In affecting values. It is this appre-
hension more than real conditions that
gives the pesimistic tone to their pub
lie utterances.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Gooding's second state
paper is now before the people, who
win find many things to commend in
the message. In the era of prosperity
which has characterized the past two
years Idaho has kept pace with the
nation and finds herself as common
wealth in splendid financial condition.
The affairs of state have been adj
mirably administered: public mstitu-
lions have been making remarkable
progress and the showing made by
those in charge yindicates the appoint
ments made by the administration.
New measures and new policies inau-
gurated by Governor Gooding in his
first term have proven their worth
and stand upon their merits as sue
cessful undertakings. The governor
takes just pride in pointing to these
achievements.
Looking to the future, there are
many valuable suggestions in the
message and many questions raised
that will bring important measures
before the legislature In some of
these measures the governor will meet
with strenuous opposition. The gov
ernor proposes railroad commission,
a direct primary law and local option
for the liquor traffic. Either one Of
these will disturb the eduable temper
Of the session and lead to far reach
ing results in general legislation. These
reform measures places the admins
tration on the aggressive from the
start and will give the session a spirit
ed turn removing the idea that the
session would lack color and warmth
because the senatorial fight was so
soon settled.
