FACE AxeRr STORM IN DARKNESS

LEBANON. Ore, Jan. T.. Racing
with death in the worst storm that has
been known here for years. Dr. Jones
and Gus Collins nearly lost their lives
and their horses were nearly drowned,
by getting off the road into deep water
IN the darkness. Collins was lost for
a time, having been thrown from the
buggy. The latter part of the trip was
made afOOt. but it was accomplished in
time to save the life of 16-year-old
George Crawford.
The youth. a son of Whit Crawford
who Lives five miles west of Lebanon.
while splitting wood lost control of his
AK and the handle struck his knee,
causing the blade to bury itself in his
left wrist. The radial artery was
severed, causing a flow of blood that
threatened the youth life Bandages
were applied, but the flow of blood
was only partly checked.
Ride That Meant Heroism.
A telephone message to Lebanon
reused DR.. Jones, and at s o'clock, in
the face of a terrific storm. Collins
started to drive the physician to the
lads assistance.
Near the Warner place the road lead
ing to the bridge was found covered
for 100 yards with water several feet
deep. Spurred on by the knowledge
that the boy would soon bleed to death.
the approach to the bridge was at
tempted. Suddenly one horse drop
ped from sight in the darkness. then
the other. and the buggy tipped, throw
ing Collins out beside his team. Moth
ing could be seen. The buggy was
filled to the seat with water.
DR.. Jones. who fortunately had not
been thrown out. found the lines, got
the horses to their feet. and managed
to get them back to the road escaping
with a ducking. The water on the
road was so deep that the horses were
all submerged except their backs and
heads.
Walked the Finish.
After the creek had been passed a
halt was made to find Collins. From
some distance down the creek. where
he had managed to climb out onto tht
bank. Collins answered the shouts of
DR.. Jones. and after some delay reach
ed the buggy.
They then drove to within quarter
of mile of the Crawford home where
deep water was again encountered.
Hitching the team to the fence. Collins
and the doctor covered the remaining
distance afOOt.
By this time little hope remained for
the life of the wounded boy. but artery
fOrceps and ligatures were brought in
to play and the deadly hemOrrhage
was controlled.

fronting on Q street-a frontage of 1o3
feet to depth of 100 feet-there was not
a perfect tombstone there, except the fiat
ones. which have been saved. There may
be some remains not uncovered or taken
out. Relatives for twenty-five years or
more have never carried flowers there or
kept the mounds fresh and green, but al
lowed underbrush to grow there to a
height Of four or i've feet over the entire
cemetery. 1t took a man more than a
week to cut down the growth so that the
pieces OF tOmbStOles could be seen. On
the rear of many Of the yards abutting
on this property there was decay enough
to sicken the entire neighborhood.
The statement that bones have been
plowed up Is false. One grave we opened
and found only dust. There was one like
a vault This l did not open until an
officer of the church and Mr.. A. w. NAL
lery were present. There we found the
skulls of two persons and several of the
large bones. The trustee of the church
went at once to the undertaken. who came
the measurement to locate the lot, that
we might know WHO was buried there.
The undertaken then saw the relatives
and they engaged him to remove the re-
mains in the proper way, which he did
after securing a permit at the District
office to do so.
These are the only graves which have
been disturbed by grading. l might say
for the benefit of the public that more
than half dozen persons looking for rel
ativeS buried there years ago have viS-
tied the cemetery during the past ten days
and stated to they were very glad
the cemetery was to be used as play
ground. On the other hand, l have had
two persons who were very angry about
the change but In each of these cases the
spots where they said their relatives rest
ed were the most neglected In the ceme-

QUIET IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Republicans Declare They Will
Carry State by 10000.

PHILADELPHIA, November 2.-The
political campaign in Pennsylvania which
closed tonight was one of the quietest in
the history of the state, very little inter-
est being shown in the contest for state
treasurer, the only state office to be filled
at this years election. There are four
candidates for the place-John 0. Sheath.
republican; John G.. Harman. democrat
NJ. H. Stevenson prohibition. and Samuel
Clark socialist. None Of the candidates
made a very extensive campaign tour as
In former years.
The democrats made honesty in govern
ment affairs their principal issue. dwell
ing particularly on the state capital scan
dal The republicans also took up the
capital affair and demanded that all those
involved in the. scandal be severely dealt
with.
The republicans declare they will carry
the state by not less than $50, 900 plural
lty, while Democratic State Chairman
Dimeling predicts that Harman will come
to Philadelphia with 5000 plurality. and
that his election depends upon the size of
the vote given Sheath in this city.
The campaign in PHILADELPHIA, where
seven judges. a controller, a recorder of
deeds and clerk of the quarter sessions
court are to be electcd, was also very
quiet, there being few meetings and no
| interest. All the republican candidates
will be elected by the usual large PhiIa-
delph!a plurality.

DUMAS ELECTION A FARCE
THIRD RUSSIAN LEGISLATURE
NOT REPRESENTATIVE.
Constitutionalists Hope, However
That It May Check Autocracy.
Extra Prisons Opened.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. November 2.-The
farcical elections for the third duma are
now complete, and on its face the new leg
islature is favorable to the existing gov
ernment To pretend that it represents
Russia in any sense would be absurd. 1t
is a mere travesty upon a representative
body. Yet some constitutionalists seek
comfort In the retention of is existence
IN any form. 1t is argued that the gov
ernment may not find 1t so amenable as
they expect, whereas. If it developed a
will of its own the cZar viii find it ex-
tremely difficult to coerce it on tn
ground of it's being revolutionary. The
octoberists, who apparently control it.
are by no means prepared to accept either
autocracy or bureaucracy on the o.d
lines, and they are certain to demand
at least q moderate reform.
Meantime the old struggle between tyr
amy and terrorism goes on throughout
the country with increasing horrors. Sc
cret trials and wholesale executions are
of daily occurrence in all parts of Rus
Sia. The records of them, such as be-
come known, are now 50 commonp. ace
that they are no longer sent 10 the for
eign press because even slaughter, Oft
times repeated, becomes monotonous, and
the world at large takes little interest in
its record

the state this year by more than the
normal majority is the unprecedented
gain we have made in registration in

Reports from Prince George county are
to the effect that it is difficult to predict
the result owing to the uncertainty as
to the ability of the uneducated voter to

the state and county ticket by good ma
