PERPETRATORS OF NIGHT
 OUTRAGE MADE ESCAPE
Miscreants Who Strung Wire Across Road
 Were Not Caught.

-
 Although the Police Department and the Sheriff and his deputies have been working steadily trying to clear up the mystery of the hold up of Major Steiners automobile on the Carter Hill Road Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. there were new de- veOpments yesterday. and the two depart ments are at a loss to get a definite clue.
 Major Steiner in returning to the city from a ride in the country on Tuesday night. while speeding at rapid rate struck two barb wires stretched across the Carter Hill Read. The impetus of the machine broke the first wire but the second wire brought the machine to a stop. When the machine was completely dead. several shots were fired from the hedge on the side of the road, presumably at the occupants of the car Luckily no one injured. Get ting the wire down. Major steiner ran his car to Police headquarters and reported the occurrence.
 Police Captain Miles smith and two spe- cial officers went to the scene and were out on the case all of the night and early morning. They returned empty handed Sheriff Hood and q party of deputies left for the scene early yesterday morning. and other than finding the wires which had been stretched across the road lying in the ditch. nothing was discovered either as to the identity of the parties who strung the wires or who fired the shots
 Whether the wires were strung across the road with the purpose of robbery. or for getting even with machines speeding on the road with seeming recklessness. is not known, and will remain a mystery until one of the party who participated in the hold up of the machine Is found
 Both the sheriff and the police are on the lookout. however. and 1t is probable that developments will occur within . short time.

No need of those days when you are not at your best. Headache and dullness are generally due to the bowels. You know that, but you put of the treatment till night.

You can't use harsh eatbarties and pills in that way. They irritate the bowels and cause griping. The pain is worse than the headache. But Cascarets never gripes

BACK BROKEN, BUT STILL LIVES
Victim of Sixty Foot Fall Is RecOv-
 ering at Hartford.

Hartford, Aug S.-Not many men who have reached the half-century mark in life can take a sheer fall of sixty feet, break their backs, and live to tell the story, but in all probability that experience will fall to the lot of kandolf J. Knapp. He had the fall and sustained the broken back, and the physicians at the Hartford hos pitay believe that he will live and in time partically regain the use of his lims.
 Knapp was a mason, and four weeks ago last Sunday was working sixty or seventy feet up the eighty foot chimney at the plant of the Hartford Board Go at Dutch Point. He was seated in one of those little chairs that high climbers use when suddenly its fastenings gave way and he dropped.
 Knapp had fallen fully sixty feet without striking an object to break the force of his fall. His body was horribly twisted when it landed. In a belt which he wore he carried a hammer with a handle about twelve inches long, and this swung out straight from his body. so that when he landed his back bent over it.. When the doctor reached his side he was lying face up, but the lower part of his body was twisted so that his toes were almost pointed straight to- ward the ground. -
 He had landed on the gravel roof of one story shed and the only way of getting him down was by the way of a ladder, and it seemed almost i'm possible to do this without killing him. The doctor, Officer Hayes and several men who were called sue ceeded. however, in getting him down without working further in- jury.
 He was taken to the Hartford hos pital, where it was found that the | lumbar vertebrae had been badly dis located, and for days Knapp's condi- tion was critical. and no one expected his recovery. Dr Cross of the hos pitaI staff had charge of the case, and after long and careful treatment the patient began to respond. and his i'm provement has been gradual ever since. Had he not possessed remark. able vitality and been in an unusu. ally strong physical condition, all tho skill of the surgeons would have availed nothing.
 While Knapp will live, he will never recover fully from the fall His lower limbs will be psralyzed for a long time. perhaps always. but the doctors hope that by careful treat ment he may partly recover the use of them.

MRS PHOENIX INJURED.
Thrown From Automobile To-Day on
 Adams Street.

Mrs William Phoenix, 46 Hawkins street, was hurt in an automobile ac- cident on Adams street this forenoon. Her son William was taking her out for a ride and was turning the ma chine down Adams street when the steering gear got beyond his control. The consequence was collision with the curbstone on the corner and a second collision with tea and cof- fee wagon run by man named Egan. The violence of the impact with the curbstone threw Mrs Phoenix out of the machine and she struck the curb on her back. Her son was instantly at her side and had her removed to her home nearby in a few minutes, where she was given medical attend ance by a doctor, who left her resting comfortably. She suffered more from fright than from physical injury.
 The collision with the tea wagon sent the horse scampering down the street but it was caught before it had gone far or done any damage.

BRISTOL'S ESCAPE
Wall Came TUDbIiUg Down Just
 as Be Lsfl Automobile.

William H. Bristol, president or the Bristol company near Platts Mills, had a narrow escape for his life on Thursday. A retaining wall nearby the presidents office caved in just after MT Bristol had left his automobile directly under it. He would certainly have been fatally injured had he remained in the car minute or two longer. The auto, big car, was practically ruined.
 MT Bristol had just placed the machine in it's accus, omed place and was not many feet away from it when the wall came crashing down. The wall formed part of coal bin which laden with coal and soaked by the rain caused 1t to give way.
 MT Bristol in speaking about the accident to-day said it was an ac- cident which migh. have terminat- ed very seriously but as it happened did very little damage. True the machine was badly damaged but no one was hurt and he considered it indeed fortunate.

THE PERSONAL EQUATION.
n Plays . Very Large Part In Success
 In Business.


 If you stop for q moment to analyze success in business you will see It comes through contact with people. It is all hinged upon the manner of your contact. On every side you are surrounded by a multitude of persons. in every one of whom there exists a potential force that may be exerted. at one time or another. to add 10 your success. The oftener you cause that force to be exerted the faster your business will grow. You can attract these individual forces if you choose and get the most from them. or you can repel them and suffer actual dam age from having come fin contact with them. or you may take a middle course. as many business men do. and drift along in a purely negative man. ner.
 Looking at business in this light. It is apparent that the underlying ele- ment which contributes most to the success of any undertaking and to business in the aggregate is the art of finding the vital points Of human contact that will set in motion these forces. The personal element must be stamped upon your buslness.-Edward Payson Hatch in System.
