 Freed by Deer.
 Miss EstelIe Killers and her sister. Bertha. daughters of Henry c. Hille-s. a farmer living near Romford. were driven into a tree Tuesday afternoon by a young buck deer. and suffered severely from cold until they were re- leased through strategy The deer's antlers were just beneath the girls, and the elder girl thought of a plan to turn the tables on the animal Slipping off a heavy unde-skirt she swung herself down to the lowest limb of the tree. and. spreading the garment wide. dropped 1t like a bag over the horn and head Of the animal. Then before the deer had a chance to shake off the encuuhering garment. both girls slipped from the tree and escap- ed

Gov Harmon of Ohio. who is being prominently mentioned in connection with the Democratic Presidential nom ination of 1912. Is engae eed in what he calls ..the running down of fraud against the State" and in clearing. as he says. the atmosphere of the State government of Ohioi from graft for a generation to come" It is announced that Attorney General Denman will soon bring suits against the bondsmen of some former State officials, to re- cover interest on immense suns'' of public money, which is said to have been diverted from its proper chan neis. Gov. Harmon asserts. for fn- stance. that the surplus of s1 900 900 reported in treasury statements as be- ing fin the treasury vaults was not there except when quarterly examina- fions were made. at other times being in banks to the credit of the personal accounts of State officials. As the in vestigation of the accounts of former officials will be conducted through the courts. the banks will be compelled to produce all books relating to State funds
 Gov. Harmon denies the charge that he is actuated by partisan motives, saying:
 Knowing what I do, I would not dare to refrain from demanding ac- tfon. Nothing could be wo>se from a political standpoint than inaction on my part If I did not act I should be kicked from the office of Governor. Any intfmation that the present inves- tigation of State offices is inspired by partisan motives is to my mind. aston ishing. The running down of fraud against the State Is a plain business proposition
 And the people. knowing what they do of Gov Harmon. will probably ac- quit him of partisan motives.

MacVeagh

Secretary Macveagh undoubtedly voices the views of President Taft when he asserts that the Payne bill does not terminate tarin revision and that the period of the measures life win not be so lengthy as was that of its predecessor He evidently believes in lower duties. With his statement that the Republican party has adopted a new tariff policy. the insurgents will agree. while the regulars will dissent As n matter of fact, the last Republi- can platform did contain a new policy. vik. limitation of protection to the difference between the cost of produc- tion here and abroad. with "a reason able profit. but Congress. in con- structing the present tariff. gave slight if any consideration thereto-indeed. practically repadiated it. Hence. the position now taken by Secretary Mac veagh virtually ranks the Adminis- tration with the insurgents and aligns 1t against Aldrich. Cannon. ct al

Electrical experts are predicting that In 10 years the majority of the arti- ficial heating of this country will be done by electricity. and that 1t will be cheaper than the steam. hot water and hot air systems now in use. Many types of electrical apparatus for heat ing are now in use. and inventors are constantly adding to the number. The prediction of, cheaper heating is prob-l ably based upon the anticipated utili- zation of great water powers in the production Of electricity. with practi- cable transmission for long distances

With regard to the improvement of waterways. President Taft believes that the most promising plan to pur- sue Is to secure from Congress for nal declaration that certain improve ments ought to be carried out: then. appropriations may be obtained and. if found necessary, bonds issued It seems to be a very sensible plan. Congress would be very unlikely. with the constantly increasing cost of the Panama canal before it. to consent to the Issuance of. as some advocate hundreds of millions in bonds for waterway Improvements. however greatly they may be needed as check upon railway freight rates.

It Is estimated that upon the Ala bama question of Statewide prohibi- ton. two of every three Republicans voted in the negative. as did some ST. 0co Democrats There is a current belief that the prohibition cause in the South has reached its climax. and that the inevitable reaction began with the Alabama rejection of the prohibition amendment.

MISSISSIPPI STILL RISING.
Thousands Of Acres Of Rich Farm
Lands Flooded and Crops
Destroyed.

st. Louis, July 14.-The Mississippi
river continued rising yesterday, and
at SIS o'clock the gauge stood at
1874. a rise of 2 feet in one hour
The food stage is 80 feet. Water has
now entered many buildings on the
levee, but ample warning prevented
the destruction OF property.
The greatest damage has been to
farm crops along the Missouri river
between Jefferson City and St.
Charles. Thousands of acres of rich
farm lands have been flooded and the
crops destroyed. Wheat ready for
threshing has been destroyed before
1t could be moved and corn fields
wiped out.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 14-That
the floods in western Missouri and
eastern Kansas have passed their
worst stage was the assurance given
by reports from all the affected
points last night. Both the Kansas
and Missouri rivers began falling at
Kansas City and this is taken to in.
dictate that the backwaters will rap
idly recede. Railway schedules were
almost back to normal conditions.

WRIGHT FAILS TO FLY.
AeropIane Refuses to Work in an un.
favorable Wind and Finally
Is Broken.

Washington, July IA. - Orville
Wright made two unsuccessful at
tempts to maneuver his aeroplane in
the air at Fort Myer. The small area
OF the field and the unfavorable direc-
ton of the light wind blowing at the
time were largely responsible for the
failure of both flights attempted.
The machine arose from the ground
on both occasions, but the aviator
was obliged to make the turn at the
end of the drill field before the fly
Ing speed" had been attained. On
the last attempt a cross piece con-
Meeting the two skids was broken and
there probably will be no fight to-
day

BELIEVE FRIGHT KILLED GIRL
DOCTORS ADD MYSTERY TO
kLiNGER LAKE CASE.
Claude Hunt, Who Accompanied Mus
Mamie Davey on Boat Ride
Cannot Be Found.

Sturgis, Mich, July 14--Extreme
fright seems to have been the cause
Of the death of Miss Mamie Davey
of Chicago, whose dead body was
found floating face downward near q
rowboat In Klinger lake.
AS to Claude Hunt, the young farm
er who took Miss Dayey for row in
the small boat, no trace has been
found. The lake has been thoroughly
dragged for the young mans body but
without success. And a search along
the shore failed to disclose any marks
to indicate that the missing man had
made his way to land. z
The young woman's body was taken
to Chicago by her parents who re-
side at S77 Ashland boulevard in that
city. Before their departure physi-
clans examined the body and found
no water in the lungs. The medical
men gave it as their opinion that the
cause of death was probably extreme
fright. -
Another theory is that the girl COM
mitted suicide because of Ill health
and Hunt was drowned in trying to
save her.
No inquest has been held as yet and
Sheriff Wing Is continuing the search
for traces of the missing youth. The
young mans parents, who reside near
the lake, are inclined to believe that
their son was drowned and though 1t
has been impossible to discover the
body by dragging, there is nothing to
substantiate numerous theories that
were set in circulation as possible ex-
plantations of the tragedy. II Hunt
had been able to swim or wade to
shore, 1t is thought some trace Of
his landing place would have been
found. The boat was right side up
when discovered and contained no
evidence Of a struggle of any kind
and there were no marks of foul play
upon the body of the dead young
woman.
Hunt was % years old and Miss
Davey was year younger. 1t was
learned that the boat ride was sug-
gGsted by Miss Davey and that she
asked Hunt to take her boat riding.

UNcALLED FOR ASSAULT
{ Bisbee Review. ]

We do not wonder that there should be misses in the council gallery at Phoenix during the speech of Hon. Eugene Brady O'Neill in reply to the message of Governor Kibbey, accom- panying his veo of the ranger bill. Tn that 1t plead for the rangers for per forming duties which other officials of the territory could not be trusted to per form, we do nots believe that there was anything in the message to war rant an attack by MT. o'Neill or anyone else on the past private character of the governor.
 There are many of the best citizens of Arizona today who are not what they were twenty years ago, either in conduct or inclination. Governor Kib- bey is one of them. Like many others of the early days in Arizona Kibbey was accustomed to look too long on the wine when it was red; when Mr. o Neil was reciting this he was not telling the people of the territory anything which they did not know. If MT. O,Neill has
 
 no other weapon to fight the governor with other than assault on his private character he would do much better to run away and not fight at all. o'Neill can neither elevate himself in the es- timation of the people of Arizona nor lower the governor in public estimation by digging up such ghosts of the past.
 Joseph H. Kibbey has filled many public positions in Arizona and aside from his inclination to play politics on all occasions his record is not such as to deserve such an onslaught as that which was made on him by o'Neill.
 Let us not have all the dirty linen of past ages in Arizona washed in pub lie, whether 1t be that of Governor Kib bey or of anyone else.

WOULD LINCOLN HAVE

What would modern educational ex- perts have made of Lincoln if, as a baby, he had been put in their earef They would probably have started him on sterilized milk, clothed him in dis infected garments, sent him to kinder garten where he would have learned to weave straw mats and sing about the Blue Bird on the Branch. Then tine dentist would have strengthened his teeth the oculist would have fitted him with glasses, and in the primary grade he would have been taught by pictures and diagrams the difference be- tween COW and pig, and through nature study he would have learned that the catbird did not lay kittens By the time he was eight he would have be- come ''young gentleman" at ten he would know more than the old folks at home, at twelve or fourteen he would take up manual training, and within two years make rolling pin and tie it with blue ribbon Tn the high school at sixteen. where in four years he would learn that Mars was the re- puted son of Juno, and to recite stan za from "The Lady of the Lake. v Then to college, where he would have joined the Glee Club and Greek Let ter Fraternity, smoked cigarettes and graduated, and then become clerk in banker 's office; and never, never, do any one any harm! Well,-per- haps--we don't know and can't tell what might have been, but we can t help feeling thankful that Lincoln E training and education were left to Nancy Hanks--and d.-Exchange.

The personal assault made on the edi. tors and proprietors of the Silver Belt by Eugene Brady o'Neill on the floor of the territorial legislature, both in form and diction, was characteristic of the creature delivering it. Since there is not newspaper published in Arizona so void of common decency and self-respect as to rise in defense of such scavenger of carrion o'Neill felt called upon, in the preservation of his
 honor, to thrust his hands into the slime and spread his favoite odor.
