Oldest Llahthou.s cIosed.

The Oldest lighthouse in England
Leasowe light, on the Wirral shore
has just been closed after a notable
service Of $50 years. It is seven sto-
ries high and of massive masonry,
founded, strange to say on cotton.
This was taken from wreck in the
neighborhood and was regarded as the
best substance for a foundation in
sand. How well it has served Is
shown by the history of the light
house. This, by the way, was dam
aged by fire in 1865. and as a result OF
the investigation the sale Of intoKi-
eating liquor In lighthouses was for
bidden. For the last ten years Lea
sowe has been the only lighthouse In

Butsermilk a Life Saver.

A French medical man advises
people to drink buttermilk for long
life. He says that the tactic acid
dissolves every sort Of earthly depos-
it in the blood vessels, keeping the
veins and arteries so supple and free
running that there can be no clog
ging up, and hence there is no de-
posit Of chalky matter around the
joints or of poisonous waste in the
muscles. 1t is the stiffening and
hardening Of the blood vessels
which bring on old age. Butter
milk is likely TO postpone it ten OF
twenty years IL freely drunk. A

mum, the maximum according ia
taste and onportunity.

ROBBED OF MONEY
BY NEGRO CROOKS
And Then Hurled Under
Cars of Freight Train.
.F|ENOISH DEED At ROCKpORT
Lucky Fall on the Track
Saved Victim From
Instant Death.

Rockport, KY, Aug. 24.-After a
desperate battle with, negro crooks, who
had robbed him of all the money he
possessed AN unknown man claiming
Pittsburg, Pa. las his home,w thrown
between the cars of a rapidly moving
Illinois Central freight train here at
an early hour this morning by me-
groes who sought to cover up the evil
dence of their guilt beneath the
grinding wheels of the train.
Instead of being crushed to pieces,
the man threw himself from the rails,
but not in time to save his leg, which
was severed by the cars.
The man boarded the train at Pa
ducah with the intention of riding to
Louisville where he intended to catch
a train TO Cincinnati.
When the train reached Central Cit
the negroes got on ard asked the
white man for a match. With the
matches he pulled cut a roll of bills
which caught the eyes of the crooks.
When the train had reached this
city the negroes attacked the man,
who fought desperately 10 save his life
and money. He fired at the negroes
with a revolver and one of them fell,
while the others closed in on the
viii e man.
Using his revolver as a club, he
fought the crooks until one of them
struck him on the head with a black
jack. This dazed him and the negroes
picked him up and tried to throw him
between the cars after they had Sc
cured all his money. which amounted
to about $40.
Luckily, he fell sideways and his
body fell outside the tracks. His leg
was cut off In two places.
The man was brought to the Illinois
Central depot here. and was later
rushed to a hospital in Louisville.

BIG CIRCUS At BEAVER DAM
Wednesday, Sept. S..-Spectacu-

ed by Masterful Per-
Torrance.

Show day is getting nearer every
sunrise and the big canvass enterprise
will soon be here The Washington
Daily Record says:
John Robinson's circus was here
and gave two excellent performances.
The parade through our principal
streets was an interesting pageant to
the expectant crowds everywhere in
.xaiting. There were four bands OF
music, about fifty chariots, dens and
cages of animals, herd of elephants,
drove of camels, sacred cattle, many
led animals, scores of clowns in cars
and on horseback, many lady and
gentlemen equcstrians, troupe of l..
:. cavalry, cowboys, Indians, etc, etc..
the whole forming a cortege Of pic
turesque splendor. About 5000
people, all of whom, so far as heard,
being loud in their expressions OF
delight.
Wonderful and varied were the
many feats presented, simultaneous
acts being given in three large rings
TO the eager throng. At one time
nine aerial acts were in progress, eX-
hibiting marvellous skill, while the
ubiquitous clowns were in evidence
everywher'.
THE RIDING SEALS,
These wonderful aquatic creatures
perform series of marvellous acts.
They actually ride on bareback
horses, play ball, juggle and balance
various objects while riding on the
backs of feet horses. This may
seem incredulous, yet nevertheless
may be witnessed at each performance.
Another act that deserves more
than passing comment Is that OF tle

Element of who gets the pay for ser
vices to the men who are themselves
expecting money for the work done.
This brings it up to the Auditor, I'M
less one of the members of the Board
of Supervisors follows out his original
plan of mandamusing the Mayor to
countersign the bills.
The Mayor will not even say whe-
Their or not he will countersign the
salary demands of members of the
police department. He either does not
know where he stands or else he is
waiting for the other sire to act. 1t
is a waiting game. The Mayor and
the Republican majority of the Board
of Supervisors are sparing for an
opening and in the meanwhile the men
employed under appointments by the
Supervisors and under appointments
by the Mayor have put in nearly a
months work and are looking for their
money.
Within a few days, unless some
thing is done to relieve the strenuous
situation, there is likely to be a mob
about the Office of the City and County
Auditor and about the office of the City
and County Treasurer, for men who
are dependent for their living and
the living of their families find it a
pretty serious proposition to go with
out their pay and some of them have
been seeking legal advice with the
result that there are likely to be all
kinds of complications unless the Ma
yor and the Supervisors come to an
understanding. Some are already talk
ing of getting out judgments against
the City and County unless their money
is forthcoming, in which event eXecu-
lions would have to be had on City and
County property. This however, would
take time and would necessitate en-
ployes further involving themselves in
continued labor with no certainty of
pay, unless they quit their jobs for 9TH
ers.
The situation presented is that of a
City and County government being con-
Quoted, to the extent of work being ac-
complished, without anybody being
paid and with the certainty of many
who have been authorized to work not
being paid at all, all dependent upon
whether the Mayors appointees or the
Supervisorial employees are established
as legal employees.
Auditor Bicknell will not say where
he stands. for he does not know He
is waiting until demands are made on
him to see whether or not he will issue
warrants. He feels that it is up to
him, or will be put up to him; the
friends of the Mayor working to keep
the matter out of his department as
far as test is concerned.
General opinion around the City and
County Offices is that the matter will
come to head in the courts this week
but no one really knows.
