Whir1ed Fifty Times by a F1xwhee1.

Looping the loop fifty times in
thirty seconds, held fast by the betting
of big fywheel, was the experience
yesterday of Samuel Kronfield, ma
chinist in a paper box factory, at SO
Liberty avenue. East New York. To-
day he will be back on the job, with
only an increased respect for the
whirling wheel.
Kronfield turned his back upon the
machinery in an absentminded mo-
ment, and forgot he was wearing a
loose jumper. A careless step, and
the betting caught the garment and
shot him aloft. Then, at the rate of
a hundred revolutions a minute, he
was carried around and around, one
instant grazing the floor. the next al
most scraping the ceiling.
Girls screamed and covered their
eyes with their hands. Men were
thrown into a panic. Kronfield. in the
midst of his pinwheel fight, yelled
Justify, "Shut her off" But it was a
full half minute before another ma
chinist signaled the engineer and the
revolutions lessened in speed.
The hywheel stopped, with Kron-
field on top, and he fell fourteen feet
to the floor. He was picking himself
up when others went to his aid.
An ambulance took him to the Brad
ford street hospital. though he didn't
want to go. Beyond a few cuts he was
not hurt. He said he would show up
for work this morning with a belt
around his jumper.-New York Amer

JOURNAL ENTRIES

In a wedding writeup in a Nebraska
paper appears the following: ut was a
delightful affair for all and a relief for
the brides father, who is a poor, hard
working man. The groom is a tall, hand
some fellow and should not be blamed
for his brother being in the peniten-
tiary for horse stealing. Miss Katie
looked beautiful, wearing large red
hair ribbon in her locks, and the groom
has whiskers." Nothing like being def
mite.
Have the machine politicians thought
of blaming that recent little breeze
down at Medicine Lodge on to the
Square Dealers?
Now that the state railroad board
proposes to go over some of the rail-

presumed that it will be one of the

along and pump the car. The attention
of Tom Cordry is called to this fact in
order that he may again be thankful
that he got licked when he thought he
wanted to be the boards secretary.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE END MUST BE FREEDOM.

THE END MUST BE FREEDOM.
The recent mutinies of the troops at
the cars palace and in Odessa and at
Kiev were not caused by the dispersal
of the duma, but by the spirit which
frightened the government into it's
dissolution. 1t was impossible, even
in Russia, for such universal demon
STATIONS in favor of freedom to go on
week after week without making
somo impression upon the army. What
these separate military movements in
dictate cannot be inferred, because the
government is suppressing as far as
possible all news of disaffection in the
army. That there should be an out
break in the Black sea ought not to
have surprised the public, but that
two crack regiments guarding the
car should have revolted, and that
battalion at the ancient fortress of
Kiev, between these spots, should
fight a pitched battle with loyal
troops is something that the public is
scarcely prepared for, even in Russia.
