Boy Kills a Big Eagle.

Chas. Ross of Cavosr brought
over Saturday an eagle that
measured six feet from tip 10 tip
Of its wings, says the Crandon
Republican. Eagles like this
are somewhat rare in this coun
try, and the way the bird was
killed makes til oocurrance
more remarkarla still. II be
eagle was shot by mighty hunt
er. eight years old, Bert Ross, q
son Of Chas. hoss and chip Of
the old block. Charles Ross is
accounted as one of the best
shots in the west, and the way
he is bringing up his boys it
looks as II he intended to hand
his reputation as hunter down
TO his sons. Bert and q brother,
twelve years old, were hunting
partridges W b tn eagle
swooped down upon them The
older boy ducked out Of the way
and the little fellow plugged the
noble bird full Of shot.

WOULDN'T BE A MONKEY.
Backed Out When He Saw Willard
 Parker's Mile of Windows.

New York, Sept 21.-Mayor Me- Clellan had left his office at the City hall and his secretary, William Willis was just closing up his desk on Sat- urday when tall, rangy anl long, armed caller strode in. He displayed a letter from his district leader, Per- cy Nagle.
 "Tm lookin' for a job," he explain- ed, gazing hard at the secretary.
 What kind?" asked Willis.
 "Oh, anything. I'm strong lad"
 Willis recalled that there was an opening at the Willard Parker hos pital and sent him there, where the superintendent sized up the candi- dates physique and gestured to the front of the big building.
 Just the man." he said Your job will be to clean those windows twice week. ?
 Nagle's follower slowly guided his eyes over the vast area of glass, and when they reached the five-hundredth window, he set his teeth and slowly, shook his head.
 Say" he jeered, turning on his heel Harlemward. You don't want man for this job; what you need is a monkey"

Chicago, Sept 21.-A street car was demolished and it's crew injured yesterday when religious parade of 1000 persons led by Bishop Paul Rhode became a maddened mob in Chicago heights. It was with diff ficulty that the bishop, who was on his way to dedicate new cemetery, prevailed upon the marchers to re- store order.
 The riot took place near the City hall of the suburb when the motor man of the car attempted to pass through the line of the parade. The Fnaarchers became offended when their ranks were disturbed and ia ail instant the air was filled with flying stones and missiles. The windows of the car were smashed, the wood- work broken and the crew hurt. {, The passengers in the car fled in terror and several suffered slight wounds from broken glass and crowding

TERRYvILLE WATER FAMINE.
Town Hill Reservoirs Dry-Schools and Private Families. Suffering.

anu IriVdUe ruunIiCc, CuhSHh6'
 Terryville, Sept 21.-A week s water famine has been passed through by the people of this village. those living on the hills having got little if any water from the pipes or the Terryville Water Co since last week Sunday. The residents of Or chard street, which is one of the best residential sections of the town, made visit on Manager Jason C. Fenn Friday evening h a body, de- manding water. There was no water last week for the Prospect street school, which contains nearly 400 children, and Superintendent Of Schools A. s. Gaylord has been com pelled to hire man and team and cart water to the building and flush the closets by the use of buckets. A line of hose Is to be seen along the side of Prospect street leading to the upper story of the Eagle Lock company's Prospect house. The fire pump of the company forces the water up the hill but the pumping has to cease and the hose be. discon- nected whenever a trolley car comes along Main street. Negotiations are being made by Superintendent Gaylord to have the school building supplied from this source. A pri- vate well on Prospect street is sup
 plying II families. The new streets like Orchard street and Pearl street,
 where wells scarcely exist, have fared the worst. PoliSh residents
 have resorted even to the Pequabuck
 river for water for washing pur- | poses.

NIaine's Forest Fires.

Augusta. Me. Sept 21.-Although practically all of the forest fires which have swept the timber lands throughout the state during the past three days, threatening homesteads and property on every side, were un- der control to-day, vigilance was maintained everywhere lest a change in the wind should bring the flames in a position to successfully, chal- lenge the fire fighters efforts to check them. Throughout the. night, under the influence of the heavy night air and the increasing dew and moisture, the fires apparently were lessened in their intensity, blazing or sfnouldering within the confines of the lines established by the men who have been fighting them, without any serious outbreaks being reported. The only serious blaze which re- mained as a threatening menace to property when nightfall fell in last night was that at Scarboro, but this was reported to-day to have been checked by the firemen, so that there was but little possibility of it's get ting beyond their control.

WRIGHT'S STORY
He Says an Effort Wss Made in Tesls 10 Nske ProDelIers Acl
 as They Finally Did.
WHAT SELFRlDGE SAID

New York. Sept 21.-Orville Wright's own story of the tragic fate which befell his aeroplane at Fort Myer resulting in the death of Lieutenant Selfridge and dangerous injuries to MT Wright himself is told in dispatch received in this city. According to the story he is at loss to account for the accident. The immediate cause was plainly that one of the propellors struck a guy rope. he says, but he is unable even now to understand how it could have happened.
 II know 1t was dangerous to have those propellors revolve so that they would be likely to hit anything, v said he, but We tried to make them hit before-tried to force them to hit. They would not. They had plenty of clearance. don't know how they hit that time-how they came to get there. But they did. Somehow that propeller and the wire came together. The propeller hit the wire twice-lightly, then hard. I heard 1t. I heard the crash. l didn't look back didn't know what was happening. Selfridge looked back--I saw him. l don't know what he saw I thought 1t was the transmission that had given way. I thought the propellors were rip ping the machine to pieces.
 Then We commenced to spin around. That was the unbroken propeller urging us onward. l cut off the propellor-pulled the cord and We lost headway. The rudder was out of commission. It must have swung to one side-useless- as soon as the wire got loose from the tail We can't stay up without headway, so when the machine swung around in a circle and the rudder would not work and the en- zine was stopped--I thought 1t was grinding us to pieces-I couldn't see-we began to drop-I heard Selfridge say, oh, oh,' like that that's all he said. expected to right the machine. It was falling edgewise. The only way to get head way was to fall--we didn't fall far enough. It started to right. Twen- ty feet more and it would have righted We didn't have the 20 feet. That's all. /"

BLIND WANT FREE BALLOT.
They. Appeal to Federated Union tc
 Change votifS System.

New York, Sept 21 Thomas Cum bingham, representative of the 6steamfitters union, who is blind, ap- pealed to the Central Federated un- ion yesterday.
 There are 1000 blind men who are voters in the state of New York, :" he said, and we demand that our votes be properly recorded in the coming election.
 We are opposed to the present method of a deputy superintendent of elections taking a blind man into a booth, because the deputy superin- tendent is the employe of political party of which he is member, and he naturally makes us vote his tick ct. We ask that the authorities per- nit the blind man to take with him Into the polling booth man whom we can trust"
 The Central Federated Union will take up the matter.

COTTON MILLS IDLE
Dispuie Over Wsse ScaIs lsl England Throws Help Oul <
 of Employment.

Manchester, Eng, Sept 21.--Mors than 400 cotton mills in Lancashirs are idle to-day as result of the dis pute over wages between operatives and employers. This means that more than 40,00O,00O spindles are wholly or partially stopped. that more than $250. ,000 of capital is not bringing in any return, and that -140,000 operatives are without work and losing something over $700,000 in wages a week. eIn view of the present glutted condition of the mar ket 1t is not believed that this cessa- tion of work will entail heavy dam- ages to the employers.
 It is not felt here that the strike will last long for. the card room work CTS are expected soon to take sec- ond ballot and agree to the five per cent reduction in wages which has already been accepted by the spin- ners.
 Thus far the idle operatives have been perfectly orderly.

Two Towns Wiped Out.

Rhindelander, Wis, Sept 21,- Gagen and Woodboro were destroy ed by forest fires yesterday and as a result nearly 4,O00 persons are homeless. The residents made va liant but vain fight for the preserva- tion of their homes and at last were forced to fee for their lives. Wo- men carrying children in their arms and men and boys with packs {, on their. backs ran toward Rhindeland- CT many falling prostratc in the heat, only to be helped on by the stronger refugees.
 Nearly all of those burned out at Gagen reached RhineIander last night and are cared for. But few of the Woodboro people are hero and 1t is now known what has be- come of all of them.
 The fire is a fresh one and not a continuation of the fires which did so much damage last week.
 When the blaze started the wind was from the west and 1t was feared Rhinelander with its homes for T.. 900 persons was doomed also but a change in the direction of the wind probably has saved the city.
 The towns of Gagen and Wood boro are on the Soo railway. Re ports from the refugees who come to this city say nothing is left of Ga gen. Citizens have decided to ask the governor to order out the state militia to assist in fighting the flames which because of the dry conditions of the woods threaten to destroy the forest. It is feared the wind may again shift and the mayor and chief of: police believe the dan to Rhinelander is not yet over.
 Hundreds of men have gone out from this city to fight the flames. A report received from those returning say they have made little progress against the fire.
