Has Fondness for Capital City.

Mrs. Elihu Root, wife of the secre-
tary of state, despises Washington
life as much as her husband likes it.
Mrs. Root was instrumental in get.

tary of war and return to New York.
She did not know of the preliminary
arrangements when the president in
vited Mr.. Root to take John Hays
place in the cabinet, and the an
nouncement that Mr.. Root had accept
ed the portfolio of state came as a
great surprise to her while she was
visiting some relatives up state in
New York.
She read a dispatch from her hus-

then turned to her friends and said:

WASHINGTON AS A MODEL CITY
The Movement Has Lately Been Given
Decided Impetus.

The most notable piece of coopera-
ton has been in the movement to
make the national capital a model city
in its social and economic environ
ment, as well as in broad avenue and
public building.
The Washington monument has a
stone from every state in the union.
The civic neglect of the District of
Columbia has come from the same
quarrieS. For congress is the common
council of the district and year after
year had administered defeat to meas
ures that would restrict child labor
and lower an excessive infant NOR
tally; would require compulsory edu-
cation for Washington children at the
hands of the same authority which
builds schOolhOuses for the Tagalogs,
and would raZe alley shaCks, fairly IN.
der the caves of the capitol. which, on
the word of two western senators,
were not fit for COW stables.
The fight against child labor and for
compulsory education has yet to be

and a judge appointed, two foul blind
alleys were opened at once into minor

for the condemnation of insanitary
dwellings, which had hung fire for
nine years. Here was more social leg
islation In five months than in as many
years before.

Tony Kraaynebrink, a young Hol.
lender, aged twenty-five years, is dead
at Canton from injuries received in
a runaway accident. Kraaynebrink
was hauling corn from the field to the
crib when his team suddenly started
to run away. The man ran after
them and jumped upon the end of the
wagon in an endeavor to secure the
lines. He fell OF the end board in
such a way as to crush his stomach.
Only three months ago his sweetheart
came from Holland, and was married
to the young man, who had come on

SAVED HIS ROLL.
Man Jumps from Moving Train to Es-
cape Being Held up.

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 16.-Olat
Bergstrom, who says he lived in Min
neapolis, had an exciting experience
in box car few miles east of this
city. He boarded a freight train in
tending to beat his way to Minneapo-
lis, but at a crossing two masked men
jumped into the car. They told him
to hold up his hands and made a
rush at him. Fortunately the door
on the opposite side of the box car
was open, and Bergstrom, unmindful
of the fact that the train was going
at a good speed made dive out of
the car. He landed on his feet, but
turned two or three somersaults be-
fore he finally came to stop. He
then hurried to the city and informed
the police.
Bergstrom had $50 which he earned
in the harvest fields.

EMPEROR is OUT OF DANGER.
Austrian Ruler Is on the Way to Re.
covery.

Vienna, Oct. 15.-Monday brought
a distinct change for the better in the
condition of Francis Joseph, the aged
emperor-king of Austria-Hungary The
doctors consider that the immediate
danger has passed, unless unforeseen
complications arise, and as a result
hopeful anticipation has come to the
Viennese, in place of the fears and
forebodings of the past few days.
The patient had fairly good night
Sunday and felt better when he arose
Monday morning. He rested easy and
although he still suffered considerably
from cough, the day on the whole was
a good one. The fever almost entirely
disappeared and the spread of the in
flammation has ceased In fact, it is
said that his majesty was so much
better that he devoted some time to
state affairs, and granted audiences to
number of court officials.

Bliqhts of Science.

Somebody meticulous rises to in.
quire whether red really excites bulls.
Essentially this is subtle move to
dissipate the sun-flecked and silken
fabric Of beliefs. Are we to forfeit
all our creeds to the microscope and
the measuring rod? Is there no
longer to be any efficacy in splitting
on the bait? Hhas the toad no warty
powers, the rainbow no golden ter
minal? Shall the minatory DEVILS
darning-needle be shorn of it's darting
terrors? Is there no bane in Staying
that blithe songster, the cricket, and
no virtue in the left hind leg of the
cemetery-haunting Gabriel Grub of
rabbitdom? Science has meshed us
all, but there are twilight times when
the mind, swinging dreamily back
ward, owns again the sway of Hans
Christian Andersen and the misnamed
Brothers Grimm. Grow old we may
and must, says Golfers Weekly, but
that part of US which throws the
spilled salt over our left shoulder, and
firmly declines to walk under a ladder
If there be any way around, clings
happily to youth.
