WOODEN LEGS PROVE PERIL.
Also Prove Blessing to Aged Man Who
Ia Stuck In Mud.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Fletcher McClain,
IS years old, was saved and also held
prisoner by his two wooden legs when
he fell from bridge with the horse
and buggy he was driving.
McClain fell apart from the horse
and buggy and shot downward, fee
"pegs" foremost, the wooden pedals
penetrating the muck knee" deep.
And there he stuck. saved from injury,
but quite helpless.
There was no one within hailing
distance and the old man pulled and
pulled and pulled. Finally persever'
ance won. With a loud smack the
right foo-"peg" came again to the
upper air. The other followed and
McClain stumped off to bed mile
away, leaving his horse and buggy.
McClain lives near the Columbus
Traction line. He was following the
right of way when he came upon two
bridges. Unable to decide in the
darkness which was for cars and
which for the rigs he chose the wrong
one. The accident followed. Later
in the morning the police arrived In
answer to q summons and found only
the injured horse, wrecked vehicle
and two holes in the ground where his
fee--"pegs" had been.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Miss Pauline Law,
aged 35, who lives with her father,
William Law, on Friendship avenue,
went out the other night without tell
ing her father where she was going
and remained out until one o'clock in
the morning. When she reached her
home her father was waiting for her
in his slippers. Her father Is 81
years old, but he took off one of his
slippers, placed Miss Pauline across
his knee and spanked her In the most
undignified manner. Miss Pauline had
him arrested for assault and battery.
The next afternoon the case wac
heard before Magistrate Kirby, the
father was discharged. and the costs
amounting to ten dollars, placed on
the young woman.
Your father has perfect right to
spank you as long as you remain un
der his roof If you are disobedient,
ruled the court.
Miss Pauline threatened to take m
appeal.

The Wrestling Match.

The wrestling match oil the Hippo
drome skating rink Wednesday night
was largely attended and was we'll
worth the price OF admission. 1t was
the first match of the kink ever pulled
off in johnson City and this added zest
to the affair. Westergard, the coming
champion heavyweight, proposed to
throw Evans, the Knoxville light
weight, four times in one hour or for
felt one hundred dollars. Evans only
weighed ia pounds and Westergard
800. Evans tried only to keep from
being thrown as he could do nothing
with the big fellow. The first round
lasted "a minutes, the second 16, the
third 15a. This only left A! minutes
for the fourth fall and the "Big Un''
failed to land his man. The crowd
was naturally for Evans, the under
dog, and would yell itself hoarse when
he would get out Of tight place. 1t
went wild when Evans won in the 4th
round and picked him up and carried
him to his corner. Evans will return
to the city in two weeks to wrestle
with the champion middleweight of the

TO BUILD HOUSE IN DAY.
Thomas A. Edison Says New Method
viii Revolutlonize Building.

New York-In greeting the mem
bers of the American Electro-Chemical
society and showing them through his
laboratories and manufacturing plants
at Orange, N. j., Thomas A. Edison
showed his visitors a big model of a
three-story house.
II have had New York architects
working on the plans Of that" lie
said, land am ready to begin on it
myself. In fact, | already have made
the models for the window castings.
Next summer l will build just such a
house within IL hours at an expense
Of $1,000, and the man who labors
on 1t will know that 1t was built on
his basis of wage-$150 day.
What l am going to inaugurate,'
he said, is this: | am going to fash
ion cast iron models for the entire
house. This outfit will cost $4,000
for a house of this design. All the
builders will have toNdo is to put II
up and pour in the concrete. Then
they will allow six days for settling
and drying and the family may move
in. The cast iron mold of that house
may be used on countless other build
ings.
1.-THE economic value Of this rests
for one instance, in that the house
will never be in need of repair. The
roof and floors will be of concrete;
the concrete will be made on the Site
there will be no fire insurance; as an
other instance Of Its saving value, the
man who owns the house can let his
children hack at it with hatchets anc
axes and lose nothing. There will BIZ
no wood in it save for a strip upor
which carpets may be tackled"

Colonel RrOMnlOw at Home

Colonel w. P. Brownlow returned
from Washington last Sunday and is
at the Soldiers Home resting his eyes.
His physician at Washington claimed
that go per cent. of the blood clot had
been absorbed and believed that his
eyes would be we'll in a few weeks Of
absolute rest. The colonel is not so
blind that he cannot see the political
situation and is seemingly undisturbed
by it.

The bushwhacking newspapers that
supported John I. Cox and did moth
ing toward electing NJ. II. Patterson,
are bitterly opposing the governor for
a second term on the plea that Cox was
not endorsed. The people of Tennes-
see never elected Cox governor, and
the first time they got whack at him
they let him know it. Brownsville

against which the rank and file REBEL
ed, and majority of democrats deter
mined to rebuke their former leaders,
to make a clean sweep of their officials,
who had arrogated to themselves the
power of petty bosses, and to demand |
that the voice of the people should con-
troll the State-not party leaders, po-
litical tricksters and men Of that kind.
In fact, that determination was 80
strong that even Mr.. Carmack, who
had the support Of almost all of those
leaders, was swept out of his seat in
the United States Senate; seat which,
for many reasons he should have been
allowed to retain, had it not been that
the best interests OF the State, under
the then existing circumstances, de-
| mhnueu otnerWlSe.
Undoubtedly and undeniably the
same oficeholders, and seekers after
office, who were swept out of power,
or denied offices, are leading this fight;
not against Patterson, ia truth, but
against that portion of the party which
nominated him, and against the decree
of the party which put him in power.
| 1t is an effort by the same old crowd to
regain the flesh pots of the political
kitchen. For this underlying reason,
bolstered up by matters of minor i'm
yortance and by big sounding SANDER
GUS charges, the democratic party is
asked to reverse it's decree RELOCATING
such men and such policies to the back
ground, and is also asked to refuse to
the men, who carried their banner sue.
cessfully against such men and such
policies, an endorsement for faithful
.. and efficient services. There is no rea-
son ii depart from the custom referred
| to in Gov. Pattersons case, and every
reason why this should not be done
as such departure will place the party
: in the hands Of the very men from
whom it was deemed necessary to res
cue it only little more than a yeal
ago.
Are the memories of the masses sc
l short that such things are forgotten
already? Are their ears so besotted
that voices, which were repulsive two
years ago, have now become the voicel
Of charmers? Have their eyes becom,
so bedazzled that they see those nov
clothed in garments of brightness, whit
two years ago, were looked upon as be
ing clothed with deeds of darkness
This is hardly probable. The masse
: are, generally, slow to act. but this j
rather because it needs some little tim
for them to gather the facts, than be
. cause of any incapacity or want of de
= sire to do the proper thing. In thi
ease, quiet consideration of the mat
- ter will soon lead them to disregar
y the clamor being raised against Gov

which was gained by his nomination

LONELINESS OF GREAT CITY.
No Interested Friends to Enter 'n'c
 Joys and Sorrows.

If you live in a large city you are lost You are swallowed up oy tne ocean of people around you. iou go down into the deep and that's the last of you, except perhaps an occa' sionaI bubble that may come to eno surface near where you were last seen, says the Fremont (o) fost. There are so many people who can escape drowning. You cant make friendships as you do in smaller place, where the individual lsn eh tirely effaced by the mass. society is not what 1t is in the smaller piace' where the human element enters Ill altogether. In the larger place your comings and goings are not noteu py your friends even, and never Dy the newspapers, unless you are one of the high financiers or packing-nouse bunch. The births and weddings in your family are of no more interes. outside your own fiat than are the wreaths of smoke curling up into the empyrean; no merry crowd or in- leTeSteu uelBnDoIs "ieh NA
 congratulations. The deaths bring ht- us sympathy from the rumblins, rat ting world outside; no sorrowing ac' quaintances who have stood by you through the long sickness; there IS little or none of that evidence of lov. ing kindness that comes from neigh- bors and real friends in a small city or town, where the dollar mark IS not written so large and so indelibly on everything. It is paradoxical law that where there are so many people there are fewer friends, and when you d. minish the number to frontier com munity where neighbors are miles apart your friends are ready to take their lives In their hands for you.

PROGRESS AT PANAMA.
The Excavation for Month of June Amounted to SPA, ,586 Cubic
 Yards.

Washington, July 26.-The detail~ report of the operations of the Isthmian canal commission on the isthmus for June last was received Wednesday.
 The excavation in the Culebra divi. sion was 624, ,5S6 cubic yards against 669, ,365 cubic yards during May, and is more than three times the amount taken out in June, 1906 The report says that with 19,000 yards per shovel as the maximum output during the dry season, 16,000 yards per shovel cannot be considered serious falling off when the excessive rainfall (13.34 inches) for June is taken into account
 The excavation at Gatun amounted to 75,01a cubic yards, and in the Canal Prism S1 1852 cubic yards were dredged.
 The report of the department of la bor and headquarters shows the total working force on June 29 as 23,327. This is exclusive of the force employ. ed by the Panama railroad.
 The chief sanitary officer reports that out of 4,300 white American em- ployes there were only four deaths during the month and out of about G. 800 whites other than Americans there were but 15 deaths. Out Of about 29.000 colored employees there were 72 deaths making a total of 91 deaths in June against 96 in May. Taking all deaths of employees to- gether only 12 deaths in June were due to what are considered climatic diseases-malaria and dysentery-and none of these occurred among the white American employs.
