sixty times q minute.
A minute later two screams we're
heard from the basement. But the
sound Of a human voice is easily lost
amid the hum Of big engines, and It
was fully a minute before the source
Of the screams could be located. Two
negro helpers walked toward the spot
where Williams had been oIling.
Around the shaft the mans .~lifeless
body was revolving sixty times q min
ute.
The elbow joint had caught his
clothes and wound itself into his gar
ments until be was drawn onto the
shaft himself. The space in which be

tremely narrow and be was probably
instantly killed when bis head struck
the heavy iron pipe above him. Be
fore the engines could be stopped the
mangled body fell to the floor below.
DR.. George B. Thompson, county
coroner sent the body to Stine's un-
dertaking rooms. Williams lived at
BIB Michigan avenue with two sis
ters. He was unmarried and had
worked at the power house almost
two years.-Kansas City Times.

Prominent Lawyers OF Pike Favor
His Candidacy for Senator.

lana, and J. B. Hostetter, OF Bowling
Green, while attending Circuit Court
here in this city kindly consented to
give their views 0n the State Senator
ship contest:
sit is somewhat unfortunate" Mr..
Hostetter said, speaking for both,
that under the existing amicable ar
rangement Of rotation between the
counties Of Audrain, Lincoln and
Pike, that our county, whose time it
is now to furnish the nominee for
State Senator, should have more than
one candidate. / lind the tendency,
however. Of our two big neighbors,
Audrain and Lincoln, is to support
that q Of Pixies candidates who is
the fayorite at home, which is as it
should be.
By all odds Judge Stark is the over
whelming preference In Pike. Four
leading Democratic newspapers Of
Pike county are editorially supporting
Judge Stark, which is rather an I'M
usual thing where there are other
rival candidates. The remaining
newspapers OF the county are neutral
thus far, but 1t is believed that one or
more Of them will soon get into the
Stark band wagon.
At the recent Democratic conven.
tion at Jefferson City, out OF Pixies
ten delegates, eight were outspoken
for Stark and only two were non-cons-
initial.
A substantial majority Of the Cen
tral Committee is also for Judge
Stark. In our judgment be will poll
a big plurality in Pike county.
At tine county convention at Troy
something like two months ago,
Judge Stark, 10 the presence OF one OF
his opponents, Mr.. Tapley, publicly
announced his willingness to submit
their rival claims ~ the Democracy OF
Pike county alone for a preliminary
decision, and that he would retire IL
his home county did not lndorse him
owe the other candidates.
This challenge has since been re.
peated by Judge Stark both publicly
and privately, but no disposition to
accept 1t has been manifested by
either one Of his opponents.
The people are for him because be
is an able, clean man; and when on
the county bench be endeared himself
to them because OF the able manner
In which be and bis associates brought
order out Of financial chaos and put
the County on Its feet, so to speak.
Besides there is no ''smelI OF tire"l
