ROAD ROLLER on A RAMPAGE
Seems to Draw the Color Line, for Ii
Stopped as Soon as Its Negro
Driver Got On.

Columbus. Ind, July Ca steam
roller owned by the Barber Asphalt
Paving company became a menace TO
life and property in Franklin street
when a colored man employed by the
paving company tried to operate it.
The roller had been left standing in
the street. 1t was needed at a point
lower in the street, and as the colored
man said he knew how to run it, he
was sent to bring it down. He must
have pulled the wrong lever, because
the machine started for the house OF
A. w. Hughes, and was stopped just
as it was getting in the yard.
The roller then took another direc-
tion, and headed for the Mercy hospl-
tai. The mother superior telephoned
for the police. The colored man was
thoroughly frightened, but kept on
pulling levers, while the roller knocked
down a couple of hitching posts in
front of the hospital. The roller then
backed into the fence IN front Of the
home OF Norris f Rosenbush, and
tore out a section of fence. The col
ored man jumped and the machine
stopped.

TRADE OUTLOOK IMPROVES
Settled Warm Weather Makes q De-
slrable Change in the Situation
Iron Boom Still On.

New York, July 6.-R. G. Dun s.
Co 5 weekly review OF trade says:
Despite the interruption of a holiday
and the usual inventories and mid
summer stoppage OF machinery for re-
pairs vast amount OF business was
transacted during the past week, and
the outlook improved still further.
Settled warm weather has reduced
stocks Of summer fabrics at many
points where congestion was threat
ened. and in some cases supplement-
airy orders from wholesalers replenish
depleted stocks that it had been feared
would be carried over to 1908.
Activity has continued at most iron
furnaces and steel plants. except
where repairs We're imperative, and
the tone Of the leading markets is firm.
Meters are constantly in need of pig
iron, the enormous active capacity OF
domestic Furnaces being supplemented
by liberal imports, and British ship
ments for the two months of May and
June have Just established a remark
able sixty-day record. Inventories al
steel mills show no surplus stocks. bur
specifications are in excess of capacity
and numerous complaints are heard
regarding tardy deliveries.

TILLMAN AND D0LLIvER FIGHTl
Story That the South Carolina Fire
Eater Has Challenged the Iowa
Man-ProbabIy Fake.

Jackson, Mich, July CA story
sent out from this city to number
of eastern papers stating that Sen
ator Tillman while in this city chaI-
lenged Senator Dolliver to a duel is
regarded here as a pure fabrication.
Senator Tillman lectured here last
Wednesday evening and left for the
south before Senator Dolliver arrived
to deliver a lecture Thursday evening
The duel story hangs upon a severe
criticism Senator Dolliver made OF the
South Carolina senator in his lecture
Thursday night. Senator Dolliver is
quoted as saying:
''NIen OF such type as Senator Till
man, who openly boast Of violating
the law, who are instrumental in the
murder of hundreds of black men, and
who preach anarchy, should be behind
the prison walls" The duel story was
to the effect that the two senators met
in this city later and became engaged
in a heated conversation over Dolli-
ver's remarks, Tillman finally chal-
longing the Iowa senator to duel.

ed a unique method of preserving his
apples last fall. He built a bin In the
orchard seven feet wide, IA feet long
and three feet high In the bottom of
this he put straw. then filed 1t with
apples, putting straw on the sides and
ends Then he placed straw and coru-
stalks on top. He dug a ditch around
it to keep the water from standing
there. Some water. however. found
its way through the top and formed
ice about each OF the apples, but they
were not disturbed until the ice had
all melted. The apples were sound,
crisp and without wrinkle.
