MONDAY SEPTEMBER 20, 1903

As usual when great financiers
shuttle off this mortal coll and
leave a monumental fortune behind
them. none but commendatory things
have been said about Edward H.
Hartman since his demise. The
news that he had left every cent
of the vast sum which he managed
through his genius to amass during
his life TO his wife was even COM
mended as a mark OF great conf
dence and affection toward her, the
tribute of a faithful and devoted hus-
band TO the lifelong partner OF his
triumphant career. But, when the
public realized, after a moments
thought. that by SO doing Mr.. Har-
riman saved his heirs the expense
of paying the large inheritance tax
to which his millions would have
been subject, had he bequeathed
them to anyone else, it could not but
pause to question the testator's mo-
tive. Can it be true that, like the
rich tax dodger who lives, moves
and has his being very much in
New York City, yet viii sleep in
Hoboken and claim New Jersey as
his home, and thereby avoid the
payment of his share of the govern
ment's expenses, the great railroad
king. whose genius has earned the
sincere admiration of the entire
world, has resorted to a trick to
evade d just and legal obligation?
Was his last responsible act as
man of an ignoble cast?

Mr. Taft is quoted as upholding
the Payne tariff law As it differs
essentially from the lines laid down
by him, especially from his cam
paign promises, the president must
have concluded that Mr.. Payne and
those republicans who aided and
abetted in the preparation OF the
new law know better than he.

How TO lncIose 4 stamn.

There's only one decent way to in
close a stamp for a reply" said the
head of a large business, and that is
to use one of the stamps from the out
side rows of a sheet with a blank mar
gin that can be stuck upon the letter
and leaves the stamp ready for use
Any other way either loses the stamp
or else spoils it for use But l found
to-day a trick that is pretty good.
Most people inclose the stamp by
sticking it down at one corner, and
then you have to paste that corner
down when you use the stamp. The
new trick is to wet the stamp in
little space in the center and stick it
there 1t pulls off easily. yet when
you use the stamp all the edges have
gum enough to stick Farm Ma

LOSES LIFE TRYING
 TO SAVE CHILD'S
Mrs. Clint Sandridee DrOwns in SteeIe'S
 Creek With Little August Dierks.

One of the most horrible ac- cidents which has occurred in this community for some time was the drowning yesterday af- ternoon about 1 o'clock of Mrs. Clint Sandridge and Master Aug ust Dierks, jr.
 The accident happened in Steele's Creek three miles west of Prescott near the Washington road and was witnessed by Mrs. w. H. Siders and several very small children who were power- less to aid the efforts of the un- fortunate woman and child, as they struggled frantically for life,
 Mrs Sandridge was the wife of Clint Sandridge an employe in the carpenter gang of the Ozan miM and the child was the five-year- old son of August Dierks foreman of the carpenter crew. They lived in the western suburbs of Prescott.
 The details as near as we can gather them, of the accident, are as follows Yesterday after din- ner Mrs. Siders Mrs. Sandridge and eight small children inc1ud- ing the son of Mr. Dierks, left home for the creek to spend the afternoon fishing, Arriving at the creek the party separated a short distance, each of the WO- men taking charge of a part of the children. About o'clock while fishing in a deep hole near the road August Dierks, who was with Mrs. Sandridge acci- dentally fell in the water, and seeing that the child was liable to drown Mrs. Sandridge jumped, in after him. The water where the child fell in was about waist deep to the woman and she se- cured hold Of the boy, and then apparently lost her presence of mind, for instead of coming back to the bank from the side she had entered, she attempted to cross the creek and was soon in water over her head.
 Mrs. SiderS hearing the screams of the woman and boy, ran up to where they were, only a short distance and securing a pole at tempted to rescue them, but was unable to render any effective as- sistance and both soon went down in about six or eight feet of water.
 One of the larger of the chil- dren Immediately ran to a farm house near by and securing help went back to the creek and re- leased the bodies from the water Word was immedia teiy convey ed to Prescott and a crowd left for the scene returning last night about eight o'clock.
 The funeral of Mrs. Sandridge will be held this afternoon at Midway and the funeral of Aug ust Dierks will be held at tDeAnn cemetery about five o'clock.
 The accident was the source of deepest grief to our people and the scenes at the homes of the unfortunate woman and enid was most heart-rendering
