yesterday morning between Sparks and
Reno, the 18-months-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. 81. Petit fell from a
Pullman car. The mother gave the
alarm and the train was stopped as
soon as possible and the mother and con-
ductor rushed to where the little one
was lying, expecting to find her lifeless.
They found the child bleeding badly,
but not unconscious. The child was
taken to DR.. Hood at Reno who pro-
nounced it not seriously injured. No
bones were broken.
While Judge Taft and the notifica-
ton committee was on It's trip up the
Ohio river Tuesday night, a man on
the Ohio bank fired a shotgun and some
of the shot struck lady on the boat.
She was sitting on the hurricane deck,
directly under the seat occupied by Mr..
Taft. One of the shots struck her above
the left eye and another hit her chin.
The force of the shot was nearly spent
and the lady was not seriously injured
1t is not know whether the shot was
fired by an enthusiastic Taft man or
with malicious intent. If the shot was
fired with the intent to injure Mr..
Taft or anyone else, the man who fred
it should be severely punished if caught
and convicted.

Cars Many Thrones.

Emperor Nicholas Of Russia has
many thrones. The three chief ones
are those at the imperial palace and
the winter palace at st. Petersburg,
and In the Kremlin at Moscow. This
last was a present to Gear Alexis in
1860 from the shah of Persia. 1t is
entirely covered with thick plates Of
gold set with precious stones and al
ternating with plaques Of ivory, CHS.
eled In high relief. The fact and date
Of the presentation are recorded in
an inscription on the back of the
throne. Just above are glistening
double-headed eagles of Russia, with
angels on either side supporting the
imperial crown. In the imperial pal.
ace at st. Petersburg the throne
stands in an alcove of the marble
throne room, with understanding
canopy with thick gold cords and deep
fringes Of gold embroidery. On the
curtains behind are emblazoned the
arms Of the Romanoffs surmounted by
the crown, with curious star-shaped
border all round. Three wide steps
lead up to the throne.

Well, Mr.. Taft was notified of his
nomination yesterday and he has &C
cepted, removing any vestige of doubt
which might have existed that he would
refuse. Before being delivered Taft's
speech of acceptance was submitted to
Wall street for it's approval, which was
generously given. What a commentary
on the candidacy of Taft, chosen by

How Woman May Harness a Horse.

We adopted an original plan of har.
Messing in order to make the operation
easy for the women to do alone. It
is adapted somewhat after the fire
engine method. The bride having been
slipped on in the stall, the horse comes
out and backs into the shafts, which,
with the harness, are secured to the
ceiling. This is lowered by weight and
pulley. The Dutch collar is cut at the
center Of the front and strong
buckle set in. 1t is then only necessary
to snap the reins into the bit, buckle
