Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
that danger could arise thcrcfrom.

thai The wings would ignite and re-
tain the flame long enough to enable
the moth TO fly to its surroundings.
That, however, has occurred. The
moth was a very large one, and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when il floundcrcd through the
flame it SET fire to one wing and
darted on to q curtain nearby, which

SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN.
Runner Who Looks Behind Almost
Sure to Lose the Race.

'There are many -1ore good dis
tance runners now than in my days."
saia an old-time champion to a re-
porter, after watching the threc-milc
scratch race at the New York Athlc-
tic Club games in Madison Square
Garden, says the New York Sun.
But the habits Of the runners bave
not changed any, for noticed one lit
tie trick in the race that bore the
significance that used to be attach to
it.
"To the casual onloukcr there was
nothing TO choose between the two
leaders when they were beginning the
last quarter of a mile. Right from
the crack of the pistol they were
running almost stride and stride
with the low, graceful, easy action Of
the real long-distance runner.
"Neither had called into use the
reserve power which must be utilized
in the final sprint for victory when
they turned into the stretch for the
final lap. Then one Of them slightly
turned his head to see where the
third man was.
I" 'That man is beaten, was the
thought which occu. rcd to me at
once, and it proved true, as always,
for when the dash for the finish be-
gan he allowed his rival to get a
lead of five yards before going after
him in earnest pursuit.
"From that point to the finish
there was no perceptiblc difference
in the speed of tlrc men, but the
man who had turned his head to
make sure that he would get second
place, instead of bending every ener-
g.v to win, Of course landed where
his thoughts placed him"

MR.. CAUGHMAN's POSITION.
The Report Which he, Made as to
Mileage Books.
News and Courier.

Columbia, July 2.-Railroad Com
missioner Caughman has been critic
1zed for the: stand he is in some quar-
ters thought to have taken in re-
gard to the mileage propositions of
the railroads and some of the travel
ling men have expressed their disap
proval OF his action Oh the ground Of
what they saw concerning the matter
IN the Columbia correspondence of
the News and Courier at the time.
The fact is that Commissioner Caugh-
man made a minority report on the
mileage proposition, which was in de-
fence of the position assumed by the
organization of travelling men, and
in order to set him right, not in sup
port Of his candidacy, but as an act
OF mere justice to an official. that re-
port is now given, as follows:
April 8, 1908.
Gentlemen: ln-Rc the complaints
made to the commission by several
posts Of the Travellers Protective
Association and number Of councils
OF the United Commercial Travellers
OF America, and referring to con-
ference held in our office on March
80, 1903, with representatives of the
complainants and Of several rail
roads, we desire to express to You our
views regarding the difference at
present existing between numbers of
commercial travellers and the several
railroad authorities as to the rule re-
quiring persons holding mileage books
to have mileage transportation ex-
changed for regular passenger tick
cts.
After a thorough consideration of
this matter, we are satisfied that the
rule regarding the exchange of mil
cage transportation which became cf-
fcctirc on the 1st Of April, will work
Il hardship on the patrons of the rail
roads. We base this conclusion up
on the following reasons:
First. At all large stations the
passengers will not receive the at
tcntion of the agents in time to ex-
'hangc his mileage for ticket and
have his baggage checked in time TO
board his train.
Second. AT the smaller stations,
the agents are not familiar enough
with the distance between stations
to "Pull' the mileage correctly in
the hurried time they will be called
upon by the passengers.
Third. The reduction in the rate
is not the prime motive of a CONNER
eial traveller when purchasing a mil
cage book. His greatest desire is for
the convenience it brings and for
the minutes of time saved to him. Tt
will take longer to exchange the mile
age transportation for ticket than
it does to buy the ticket for cash.
Again, we are confident that the
rule referred to will accomplish the
object desired by the railroad com
panies. We are inclined to the opin-
ion that the objections to the conduc-
tors pulling the mileage for the rea-
sons Of properly accounting to the
several railroads can be easily over
come. 1t will be as easy for the con-
ductors to handle the coupons as for
the agents to do so. Arrangements
for preventing a loss Of the. coupons
can be effected.
And there is no doubt that the
present plan will bring about conten-

STEAL MARCH.

The republicans in the organiza-
ton of the election boards in Spo-
kane this morning stole a march
on the democrats. At some polling
places the regular democratic cleo
ton officials were not on hand, and
the vacancies were filled by the
republican inspectors, on whom it
devolved to fill the vacancies,
1t is said that in filling these
vacancies, the republicans had
democrats selected whom they had
reasons to believe would not be too
insistent on the points of dispute
that sometimes arise in the de-
cision of close election contests.

DEM0CRATSPUT
ON RED FIRE
FINISH

Political enthusiasm was aroused
to high pitch by the street meet
ings in the whirlwind finish of the
democrats last night. All the pent-
up feelings Of rather quiet presi-
Dental campaign were loosed and
men Of all shades of political opin-
ion gave one last, long yell for
their favorites before the opening
of the battle.
The demonstration was orderly
and conducted in good natured
manner throughout. There were
two carriages and two automobiles
in the democratic procession, each
conveyance being manned by two
speakers and full escort of the
faithful.
The opinion was expressed be-
fore the meetings began that the
young democrats would lack the
nerve to speak in the open air
street meetings, but this surmise
proved to be wrong, as all the
speakers went at it hammer and
tongs, and seemed to be inspired
with renewed vigor as the crowds
cheered Justify at every point
made. Democrats believe last
nights finish was the red fire event
of the campaign, as thousands
heard the appeals for the cause of
the Nebraskan, who had not at
tended democratic meeting.
In the first carriage were R. F.
Collins and Thomas A. Scott; 0. j.
Saville and r. L. McWilliams occu-
pied the second; P. B. Keaney and
J. r. Sovereign the third and J. M.
Wiley and H. D. Merritt the fourth.
There were five stopping points in
the downtown district at which the
different conveyances halted, one
carriage following the other in the
order given. The chief meetings
were held at F. w. Smiths, where
the crowd of election plungers had
assembled. and at the corner of
Stevens and Front, in the working
mems district.
The Taft supporters assembled
near Smiths occasionally inter-
rupted the speakers by yelling for
their favorite, but on the whole
good hearing was given.
Jimmie Durkin acted as marshal
of the day in the effort to maintain
peace and harmony and any en-
thusiast who became too loud was
Immediately engaged in political
debate by Jimmie, who as rule
was soon master of the emergency.
The main crowd set up a cry for
Durkin. in response to which he
was finally induced to ascend
carriage and deliver speech. The
effort was heartily cheered and
Jimmie made hit.

1t is estimated that 5000 men
were assembled at the meeting at
Stevens and Front. When the big
red automobile came up some one
raised the cry that it was repub-
lican turnout and all efforts to
maintain order were for time
without avail. When the crowd
learned from Fred Schade the true
political complexion of the meeting
things became Quieter. After the
