HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING
CAUT. e. p. PARKER TAKES A
SUDDEN PLUNGE INTO
YoUNG'S RIVER.

AT noon on Monday last, as he was
assisting John Erickson, the Smiths
Point dairyman, to drive four cows
from the Parker farm on Young's
River to the Erickson ranch, Captain
E. P. Paker had a narrow escape from
drowning.
He was in road wagon and was
leading one Of the cows, while Mr..
Erickson was behind, on a horse,
driving the other three. Someone in
the woods on the east bank Of
Young's River fred a shotgun and it
is presumed one Of the scattering
shot struck the horse driven by the
captain and the animal without 9TH
er apparent cause), sprang over a
ten-foot embankment, wagon and all,
into the stream, which at that point
and stage Of the tide was about 10
feet deep. II was done 50 suddenly

fate overlook the plate glass window
in the Office Of ]. Galloway, the mer-
chandisc broker on Eleventh street,
who occupies the place jointly with
the Osborne Tailoring Company.
The 80-mile wind tore one section
Of the A. f. power wire from its fas-
Jennings and it fell across the Postal
wire, with its 2300 volts, and blew out
the fuse in the Office Of that com
pany, putting the Postal out Of busi-
ness until the onslaught could be
made good.

that there was no possible way Of
heading of the plunge, and the whole
outfit went under Mr.. Erickson was
almost paralyzed at the episode and
came near fanting with fright; but
rallied at once and went about the
work Of rescue.
Captain Parker came to the surface
and finding himself free from the lines
and gear, struck out for the bank,
which he reached safely, and was as
sisted ashore; after which they secur-
ed long branch, and with this he en-
tered the river again and got the limb
under the jaw Of the animal and slow
ly guided il into the bank and finally
got il back in the road.
The rig hoated on down the river
and they overlook 1t and by hard
work recovered 1t and found that
nothing was broken save the harness.
This was temporarily repaired and the
party proceeded on its way over the
long bridge and down to the Erick-
son place, where a hot FIRE, some dry
clothes, and hearty meal helped to
compensate for the untoward exper-
ience Of the day
II was a narrow squeak for the
captain, however, and he is duly sensi-
bic Of It, as much from the contempla-
tion Of the incident and Its actual
danger, as from the pains and pangs
that were shooting through his frame
all Of yesterday.

Captain Hull, Of the steamer We

sect that region. He also says that
the logs from the upper camps are

GALE ATTAINED RATE.
Of 70 NILES
BLEW DOWN BARNS AND DID
MUCH OTHER COSTLY
DAMAGE.

II was reported yesterday that the
gale Of Monday night blew down
two barns in the Lewis and Clark
region belonging to Mrs, William
Kinney. One OF the barns was total.
~ wrecked. and as it fell one horse
was badly hurt, and the hay and
other contents Of the structure were
scattered far and wide BY the wind.
The gale OF Monday night and early
yesterday morning was one Of the
fercest Of the year, and one that did
much damage OF a minor nature in
and around the city, At North Head
il was reported the wind attained
velocity Of 70 miles an hour, but it is
said to be probable that the gale ex-
ceeded this here. Windows were
broken, fences blown down, chin.
neys blown off, and much damage
done to the wires, Portions Of the
rails on both the Youngs Bay and
Lewis and Clark bridges were laid
fiat by the fierce winds,
One Of the features of the gale was
the peculiar effect il had upon scores
and even hundreds Of people. Yes
terday II seemed that half OF the peo-
pie on the streets complained that
they had been unable to sleep during
the storm, and in some instances this
was clearly not due to any noises
made by the wind, A peculiar atmos-
pheric quality seemed to accompany
the storm so different from the usual
balmy condition here that it left peo-
pie nervous and depressed, and dur
ing the night kept them wide awake.
OF course many others were kept
awake most Of the night by the slam
ming Of doors, the creaking OF win.
dows and the bowling Of the scurry-
ing gale.
Monday Of course, was wash day."
and Monday afternoon and evening
were so soft and balmy that many
housewives left their clothes out on
the lines over night When the wind
came up havoc was created on the
lines. Table cloths coared off into
.neighbors' yards, pillow cases went
sailing through the air never more to
return, and nighties and other things
that are usually hung out on the
Monday line were interchanged by
the winds with a promiscuosity that |
was quite as ludicrous as it was en-
barrassing.
AS result of the gale the electric |
lights were put out Of business, and |
those who had to get up early yes
terday morning had to find candles or
lamps, or else dress in the dark The
district messenger service was also
put cut Of commission for time.
Nat Jones, the tender on the county
bridge between this city and the
West Side, over Young's Bay, was in
the city yesterday morning and re-
ports the sou'easter was one Of the
worst in all his experience in this
section. He says that it fattened the
bridge-rail along the eastern end Of
the bridge from the draw to the west
coast Of that bay almost at one blow
and he expected to find other and
more serious damage when he in
spected things in the morning, but
was agreeably disappointed. On his
way to the city, to report matters to
the county court, he came across
big arc lamp at the summit OF the
Eighth street hill, evidently blown
block out Of its fastenings on the

The pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says, zone of the
objects Of the law Is to inform the
consumer Of the presence Of certain
harmful drugs in medicines" The
law requires that the amount Of chic
roform, opium, morphine, and other
habit forming drugs be stated on the
label Of each bottle. The manufac-
turers Of Chamberlains cough remedy
have always claimed that their RENE
dy did not contain any Of these drugs,
and the truth Of this claim is now
fully proven, as no mention Of them
is made on the label. This remedy is
not only one Of the safest, but one Of
the best in use for coughs and colds.
Its value has been proven beyond
question during '.le many years II has

CORN'S NATIVE LAND.
Belief That the Grain Originated in
America Spoiled by China.

1t has been generally believed that
America was the original home OF
corn. Last year a small lot of she'll
ed corn of a kind new to this country
was sent to the Department of Agri-
culture from Shanghai. 1t proved to
have qualities that may make 1t val
liable in brseding a corn adapted to
the hot and dry conditions of the
Southwest. The plants raised in the
test average less than six feet in
height, with an average OF twelve
green leaves at the time of tassel-
ing. The ears averaged five and a
half inches in length and four and
one-third inches in greatest circum-
ference, with 16 to Is rows Of small
grains. On the upper part Of the
plant the leaves are all on one side
Of the stalk instead of being arrang-
ed in two rows on opposite sides. Be-
sides this. the upper leaves stand
erect instead of dropping, and the
tips of the leaves are therefore above
the top of the tassel. The silks of
the ear are produced at the point,
where the leaf blade is Joined to the
leaf sheath, and they appear before
there Is any sign of an ear except a
slight swelling.
This corn is quite different from
any that is produced in America. It's
peculiar value is that the erect ar
rangement OF the leaves on one side
of the stalk and the appearance OF
the silks in the angle where the leaf
blade joins the sheath offer a pro-
tected place In which pollen can set
tie and fertilize the silks before the
latter are aver exposed to the air
This Is an excellent arrangement fol-
preventing the drying out OF the
silks before pollenation. While this
corn may be Of little value itself, II
is likely that by cross-breeding these
desirable qualities can be impaired
| to a larger corn, which will thus be
better adapted to the Southwest.
The experts say that this particu-
lar corn is so different from anything
in the new world that it must have
been developed in the old world, and
| intimate that corn was grown in
China many years before the voyage
of ColumbIa. The fact that this
admission Is made by experts of q
department which has a Cabinet of.
fcer from this country's greatest
corn State IN nteresting.-NewY York

AS A COLLEGE COURSE
Columbia University Hopes to Raise
100000 for Purpose.

New York, Dec. 17.-Although
plans have not been completed, Co
lumbia University hopes to raise
about 100000 to establish a
course Of agriculture.
Instruction will be given on q
lawn of about 100 acres, which the
authorities hope to purchase in the
neighborhood of New York, SO that
the students may acquaint themselves
with the practical as well as the theo-
retical side of farming.
Lectures are to be held from Octo-
ber1st to April LIST, so that the entire
summer can be devoted to planting
and harvesting, and learning the Sc
crets of dairy and poultry lore.
In the opinion of the committee in
charge of the new undertaking, the
United States Is in need of educated
and intelligent farmers to develop
the resources of the country and get
the best results with the least ex-
pense.
The proposed course, according to
it's projectors, will attract class of
men who are now struggling for a
livelihood in the over-crowded ranks
of commerce and business in New
York, and will start them on a pro-
fitable agricultural career in the
country, where farms are being de-
serted because of unscientific meth
DDS and lack of adequate labor.

Cotton Soaked i'm Water-Ginners
Are Accused.

A special from Concord to Sun
days Charlotte Observer says:
Several farmers in Cabarrus and
Stanly Counties have been victims of
a very serious imposition by certain
ginners. On numerous occasions
since the price of cotton has been
above IL cents, wet, water-soaked
cotton has been marketed here. 1t
is alleged that at least three ginners
have been known to soak cotton as
it was run into the presses. By this
process, it is claimed, the ginner
takes out toll to the weight of the
water. One farmer was called to
town yesterday and shown the condi-
ton of bale which contained sixty
one pounds of water which was easily
squeezed out. His loss was more
than $500. The ginner was inform
ed Of the condition of the staple. and
his only remark was: I guess I'll
have to make 1t good Whether the
ginners are criminally guilty remains
