MEETS WITH, AN ACCIDENT
 WHILE BATHING,

Arnold Hawkins of this city, white in bathing on Sunday afternoon last together with several companions. met with peculiar accident. which might have proven serious. The young ma1 leaped from a spring board into the canal- striking board which was lying about a foot under water, and hid from his view. His head struck against the board with great force, cutting a gash about three inches in length: Although stunned by the 1low for several minutes, he did not lose consciousness. and managed to get out of the swimming hole without assist- ance.
 He immediately mounted a horse there, and rode to town, where he had the wound dressed by Dr. j. F. Drane, who took three stitches in the scalp. The young man is reported as getting along nicely.

It was an exceptionally early one, however, and few will be ripe before a couple of weeks. The early dates this year will not be very abundant at the or chard. They were the ones that suf- fered most from the hail storm. Preparations are now being made to cover all punches of dates to protect them from the ravages of birds and insects.

THE BONDS CARRIED
 BY A MERE SCRATCH
The Opposition Came Within Six
 Votes of Winning Out.

The Union high school bond cleo ton held yesterday carried by mere scratch, 95 for and 39 against. Six more no votes would have done the work and the election would have failed. Still a miss is as good as a mile and those favoring the issuing of the bonds are gratified that the victory was won, even by so small a margin. There was much less interest manifested in yesterdays election than the previous one. Little was heard of it until the polls opened and then there was considerable quiet working. The vote was somewhat smaller than the other one for the reason that a good many people are away for the summer.

BAND CONCERTS 10 CONTINUE.

After some consideration among the members of the Gem City band, it has been decided that the regular con- certs will continue to be given on Sat urday evenings. It had been previous ly announced that these would be changed to Sunday evening, but this has been deemed inadvisable. owing to the fact that several of the members would be unable to meet with the band at that time; so until further notice the concerts will be given in the band stand opposite the postoffice on Saturday evenings.

REAR ADMIRAL CAPPs ANSWERS CRITICS OF BATTLESHIPS
Chief the Repair Bureau Defends the Freeboard Style Of
the American NavyHe Recommends a Change in the
EossGreater Speed Gained in the Dreadnought Type.

Washington, d. .-Rear-Admiral
Washington Lee Capps, Chief of the
Bureau OF Construction and Repair
OF the Navy Department. made an
swep TO the critics OF the navy at a
hearing before the House Committee
on Naval Affairs To the minds prac-
tica1ly OF all the members of the COM
mittee. Admiral Capps' statements
were a complete refutation of the
charges which have been made
against certain features OF the con-
struction OF American battleships.
Admiral Capps displayed no ami
mostly or ill-feeling toward the
chronic and scientific fault-hnders.
and discussed the subject OF naval ar
chitecture in dispassionate way.
While he riddled the Reuterdahl ar
ticle In McClure's Magazine in its
general features, still he gave credit
to certain criticisms made. In partic-
nlar he admitted the justice OF the
criticism OF the ammunition hoists
on battleships. He advocated a COM
plete change OF fioists. and asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 to this
end.
The Admiral discussed at length
the question OF high free boards and
low free boards on battleships. He
said that the general type OF naval
architecture which is followed by the
Board OF Construction is the same as
has been followed since 1889. This
style was adopted by Great Britain
after the subject had been considered
thoroughly and exhaustively by the
leading naval architects and experts
of the country. in fact. OF the world.
IL is the style generally followed to-
day by England in the building OF her
biggest ships.
He said that II there was one ma
tion more than any other which by
reason OF sea-hghting experience
should be able to distinguish between
the respective value OF a high free

Remedies Cured Him

"From the age of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Ovens life was
made intolerable by eczema in its worst
form. In spite of treatments the disease
gradually spread until nearly every part ct
his body Was quite raw. He used to tear
himself dreadfully in his sleep and the
agony he went through is quite beyond
words. The regimental doctor pronounced
the case hopeless. We had him in hos
pitfalls four times and hA was pronounced
one Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as incurable.
We kept trying remedy after remedy, but
had gotten almost past hoping for cure.
Six months ago we purchased a set Of

and to-day he is perfectly cured.

tion was Japan.
He pointed out that Japan had fol-
lowed the plan of low free boards.
while Russian ships had the high
free boards. The Russian ships are
now at the bottom OF the sea, while
Japanese ships are still floating.
Since the Russian-Japanese war.
the Japanese have been building their
ships so that the free boards are still
lower. 1t had been ascertained that
the Russians, apparently realizing the
error OF their high free boards when
going TO battle in the Sea of Japan,
had pumped water between their
decks, and had even loaded coal In
the staterooms Of the officers In order
to get their ships as close to the water
as possible, and afford the least pos
sible taget.
American ships. be said, had lit
tie more free board than the Japan
ese and a little less than the English
ships of the Dreadnought type, the
English, in order to get greater speed
having been forced TO allow a little
more free board.
The questions raised in the Reuter-
dahl article, he said, had Afforded
subjects for argument. dispute, con-
troversy and discussion among naval
architects since the construction OF
the modern navy began and doubt
less always would do so. There was
always a fight between armor men
and armament men. between steam
engineering departments and other
departments. but the result in the
end had been the construction of ves-
sells which present the best knowledge
of naval architects.
No nation had followed the French
style OF naval construction. That
was a distinctive class by itself. but
in general there was similarity among
the English. American and Japanese
styles.
