A Serious Accident

On Tuesday while Kenneth Dewitt. of Woodruff, was fooling with a thirty-thirty revolver It was accidently discharged the ball passing entirely through his hand and wrist shattering and mangiing every bone in the heal of the hand and wrist and cutting away a part of one of the bones of the forearm. Dr. Brown was called immediately and found up- on examination it would be nee essary to take the hand off at the wrist. This was done and the patient is getting along nicely.
 Dr. Brown explaiaed to us that unless he had taken the hand off at the wrist at once the probable results would be that the arm would have to be takhn off with in a few days as the ball was a soft one and had done great dam age and the wound would have become infected. We hope te be able next week to tell the friends of this young man of his conva- lesence.

 Mr. Taft up to this time had not permitted himself to be quoted in connection with the tariff struggle. His frame of mind was indicated in his New Haven speech on June 30, how ever, in which he warned the republican party that if it did not keep it's promises it would be relegatad to the minority. Thc president has been careful here- tofore to let no impression gain ground that he was dictating to congress.

Tariff Doing.s Cleaned from the Dailies

WASHINGTON July r. Presi- dent Taft's emphatic declaration yesterday that he regarded that the republican platform meaning was and that the sentiment of the whole people is, demanding rev ision downward" has eclipsed in interest all minor and specific details of the tariff struggle today l It is clear that the president in tended it as an ultimatum, and many believed it barely concealed Q threat of a veto if the bill did not fulfull the party pledges.
 Most of the members of con gress refuse to discuss the matter but some say privately that it means defeat of the bill.
 Those less excitably inclined took the view that the president has simply made the long foreseen move, essential to the ''Iogic of the game. {" They further state thatit will mean speedy dissolu- ton of the opposition ito down. ward revision and the termination of the long. fight, which will place the bill in the hands of the president in the shape he all along intended it should be.
 i One senator said that he be- lieved it would be impossible to secure support fulfilling the pre- sident's demand for free raw material. For instance, he didn't believe that the senate would pass the bill putting hides on the free list, and said that the out look was discouraging.
 The official statement made at the White House was as follows.
 ''Mr. Young of Michigan opp osed free ore; MT. Mondell opp osed free coal ane reciprocity with Canada, and free hides, each on the ground that the policy would injure the interests in his state, and discussion was parti- cipated it by other represent atives who urged that the doct- rine of free raw materials was not republican doctrine.
 The president replied that he was not committed to the prin- ciple of free raw material. but that he was committed to the principle of a downward revision of the tariff and he was obliged to look at the matter not from the standpoint of any particular district. but from the standpoint of the whole country, and also from the standpoint of the resp onsibility of the entire republican party.
 He said the question in each case was a question of fact, to be determined by evidence as to whether 9 rate was excessive, so that a downward revision, or the putting of the article on the free list would not injure the in dustry.
 He said that he had reached this construction of the platform on what he understood to be the principle of protection and justification namely that after an industry was protected by 9 duty equal to the difference be- tween cost of production abroad and the cost of production in this country, including a fair profit, the energy and enterprise of American business men and capl-- talists, the effectiveness of American labor, the ingenuity to American inventors, and the impules of competition behind a tariff wall would reduce the cost = c ,.,,, ,l,,.4:o,o o,,J will, c,1cb 7.n

How Russian Farmers in Kansas Hid
Their We:ith.
'Ellis county has more money hid
den in tin cans and Old boots than IL
deposited in the banks" said Val. f..
Gross, a banker and broker of Hays
City. Kan.
"Old boots are the proper things"
continued the Kansas banker, "be-
cause the people who hide their
money in our county. as a rule, have
no old socks to use for that purpose.
They do not wear socks. They are
Russians, who have no working knowl-
edge of our banking system, and who
show no disposition to learn much
about it.
''They do their own banking. Their
strong box consists of tin can or an
old boot. and their safety deposit vault
is hole under the barn or in the eel
lar. When they want TO Ouy something
they pay cash for it. When they sell
something they demand the cash and
hide It.
"It Is conservative estimate to say
that more than half of the actual cash
Of Ellis county is hidden. Our deposits
come chiefly from the Americans.
Comparatively few of the Russians do
any banking business. We have con-
Quoted a campaign among them for

ment are beginning to patronize us.
But the old timers are still holding
off, and probably will continue to do
so for the rest of their lives.
Perhaps 70 per cent of the people
Of Ellis county are Russians. More
strictly speaking. they are German
Russians. Originally they went from
Germany to Russia, and later came to
this country. They are sturdy.
honest people. industrious, very reli'
gious. and great money savers. As debt
payers they are celebrated. They
never hide behind the statute OF l1mi'
tation. IL Russian buys horse or
farm he Is just as sure to pay for 1t
as he lives. Mortgages are only used
as protection in case Of death"

thin metal band covered with leather
was used, the eye being painted on

Then, in 1861, eyeballs of gold, with
the pupil done in enamel, came into
vogue.
Next came porcelain eyes. which, on
account Of their cheapness, were very
popular; and, lastly, glass was used.
Even in Shakespeare's day glass eyes
were very well made; but, compared
with modern specimens, they were
crude, and easily distinguished.

for speaker, giving as his reason
that he wanted tariff bill pass

the best way out of a dilemma.

time the country will justify Mr..

The British authorities are ex-

with that end in view. Torpe-
