A Good Story.

A MaysvilIe dispatch tells of far

had a well sixty feet deep that was
perfectly dry. He took the cover off

fill with hailstones. He now has nice
we'll full of ice water.

No one regrets the passing of Sena-
tor Morgan, Alabama's grand old man,
more than Senator Buckley, of Con-
necticut. The Connecticut statesman
was one of Senator Morgan's closest
friends and greatest admirers. AL
though they never traced the relation
ship they believe they sprang from
common ancestry. Senator Bulkeley's
Christian name corresponds with tie
surname of the late Albanian. and
his father when he was young man
just entering mis- professional career,
left his New England home and settled
in Selma, Ala, the town in which both
Messrs. Morgan and Pettus lived for
many years. Eventually Senator
Bulkeley's father returned to Connec-
ticut and married a New England girl.
Senator Bulkeley paid high tribute
to the dead statesman, whose loss will
be sorely felt by the Senate.

thus violating the rules of dress by
wearing a silk hat in the forenoon. The
Hon. John Wesley, with snort of dis
gust, retOrted that he would be hanged
if he would bend the knee to the afro
cious and unspeakable stiff derby and
that to wear his SLOUGH hat In the
presence of such beautious maidens
would have been little less than an in
suit. Therefore, the Hon. John Wes-
ley made Fashion bow the knee to him.
S. M. Ross, of Nashville, Tenn, re-
signed his official position in the Dis
trict Department this week and will
take up the practice of law in his home
state. Mr. Ross is a graduate of the
George Washington University law
school, having come here with the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts from the Uni
versity of Nashville. Mr.. Ross case
is a fair example of scores of others,
for the government clerk of today is
nothing if not ambitious. Their hours
are not onerous, the government de-
partmetns closing at 80 in the after
noon and a large number of them are
to be found enrolled in the Department
of Law and the Medical Department of
the George Washington University.
Special opportunities are offered this
class of students in the arrangement of
lectures and classes and as rule they
make brilliant students. The extensive
field for research, which is to be found
in the different departments of the
government, gives the graduating
student wider and more thorough in
sight into the especial study ne is pur-
suing than probably could be secured
in university situated in any other
city. This is one principal reason why
the movement under way by the au-
thorities Of the George Washington
University to raise an adequate endow
ment fund has met with such hearty
from the highest officers of
the United States Government.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
McCreary, of Kentucky. insists that
the Democratic party will nominate a
Southern man for Vice-President IN
1908. In an interview here he declared
that it is a foregone conclusion that
Mr.. Bryan will be chosen to head the
ticket next year. He is insistent,
however, that Mr.. Bryan's running
mate should be chosen from south
of the Mason and Dixon Line and be-
lieves that the South will insist upon
this recognition. Senator McCreary
says that there is every reason that
this should be done, for the war has
been over now for more than forty
years and complete amity has been re-
stored, so that there is no reason why
the South should longer be ingored by
the patty of which it is the mainstay.
With regard to the political situation
in his own state. the Senator is not so
sanguine as might be expected of a
Democratic victory.

Just before President left this week
for Oyster Bay, Representative Bur-
ton, of Ohio, chairman of the new In
land Waterways Commission, called
at the White House to discuss the final
plans for the trip of inspection the
President and members of the Com
mission are to make along the Missis-
sippi river this coming autumn. On
leaving the White House, Chairman
Burton declared the next meeting of
the Commission probably would be
held toward the end of September, and
that the members in all probability
would join the President at Keokuk,
Ia, and begin the inspection trip on
October End. The president is looking
forward with pleasant anticipation to
this journey and MS favorable attitude
toward the entire question of water
ways development is so well known
that it is expected the speech he will
make at the Deep Waterway Conven-
ton at Memphis, which will signalize
the end of the trip, will be decidedly
important one and add to the interest
already created in this important eco
nomic question. This interest has
been created and sustained by the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which the President on several occas-
ions has very strongly commended for
its patriotic missionary work.

Fine Musical Program and Very Interesting Lecture
 at the Hyperion.

The audience at the Hyperion thea ter last night filled the body of the house. and a large portion of the gal lery to hear the concert given by St. Rose's parish for the benefit of their new building fund. There was an ex- cellent musical program, every number of which was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss Gaffney sang several numbers with the quartet and after two numbers alone. sang an encore. Miss Gaffney's sing ing is always joy and she seems never to feel any effort to accomplish the charming results she achieves.
 Rev. Walter J. Shanley of Danbury, was the speaker of the evening and his lecture, Ireland, the Mother of Medic val Civilization" was very interest," ing. His address was particularly di- reeted to the Influence of the Irish na- ton on the time from the tenth to the sixteenth centuryof the colleges which opened their doors to the nations oi the world and they were free schools for all who desired to embrace the art of writing and book-making in which the Irish monks excelled. F'ath- CT 5shanley is a very delightful speaker and his lecture was attentively listen- ed to and enjoyed.

BATTLE WITH CONVICT
SOUTH DAKOTA PRISON STEWARD
is STABBED.
FIERCE HAND TO HAND FIGHT

Isaac L. Gill, Steward of Sioux Falls
Penitentiary, is Still Alive But Is
Believed to Have Been Fatally In
jured.
Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct. 4.-Isaac L.
Gill, steward of the state penitentiary
who was stabbed several times by
Robert Ames, convict, during a des.
perate effort of the latter to make his
escape, Is yet alive, but is believed to
be fatally injured. At the best, the
chances for his recovery are against
him.
The stabbing of the steward was the
elimination of one of the most des-
perate efforts ever made by convict
to escape from the penitentiary.
Ames, who is serving a twenty-year
term for manslaughter committed in
lyman county, had been working In
A, Nenitentiary shirt factory, but on
'ob @ vt that one of his legs was
pan. '"to We was permitted to re-
turn to MSlo, There he forged an
order for S2caj b, with Steward
Gill, went to the oce, Groom to secure
broom. While call was stopping
Ames suddenly drew a small case
knife from its place Of concealment
about his clothing and plunged it into
the back Of the steward.
He probably aimed for the stewards
heart, but missed it by about two inch
es, or Gill would have been instantly
killed. Gill turned just as Ames raised
the knife for second blow. The first
blow, apparently, had turned the sharp
point of the knife, for the wound made
by the second blow was not as deem as
the first. Before Gill could grasp the
desperate convict he was stabbed the
third time, the knife blade entering his
chest. For few minutes the two men
fought a thrilling battle. The loss of
blood had weakened Gill to such an
extent that he was finally overpowered.
The convict was painting on top of
him and cropping around for the knife
which had been dropped during the
fierce hand to hand fight, when Guard |
Mcqueen appeared upon the scene and
'shed upon Ames just as the latter |
