rumor flying that Mr.. Odell had come to
Washington With the avowed purpose of
lining up the New York representatives
against the election of Timothy l.. Wood
ruff as chairman of the republican or
ganization in that state.
The report met with fiat denial. 1t was
stated that Mr.. Odell had come to Wash
ington to attend the annual dinner of the
Tapeworm Club. which is to be held to-
morrow night. The inquiries as to Mr..
Odell however brought out the fact that
Representative f. E. Vreeland of New
York is to be urged for Mr.. Woodruff S
place, and that he will likely have the
support of many members of the con-
gressionaI delegation

reason why it shouldn't cure you, too
"The patient accepted this advice.
He even bought two front-row tickets,
and took the doctor with him to the
famous opera
AS the two men sat side by side,
the patient, when the din was at it's
very loudest. shrieked in the doctors
ear:

UNHuKT AFTER LONG FALL
Almost Miraculous Escape of Miner

CURED at Staffordshire (Eng0 col
iery the other day.
A young man named Phillip Shen-
ton, whilst working at a new inset,
went to load tub into the. cage,
which he thought was waiting in the
shaft. AS matter of fact, however.
the cage had not descended to the in
take, and Shenton. instead of pushing
the tub into the cage, pushed it into
the empty space of the pit shaft Hav.
ing hold of the tub. and being taken
by surprise, Shenton was also dragged
after the truck. and fell headlong down
the shaft, distance of 259 feet.
The tub and man were precipitated
into the well at the bottom of the
shaft, which contained water to a con-
siderable depth. Everyone, of course,
concluded that Shenton had met an in
slant and terrible death, but to the
amazement of those who witnessed the
accident, a vote was presently heard
from the inky depths calling for help.
The cage was at once lowered, and the
man was able to scramble into it.
When taken to the surface 1t was
found he had escaped with a slight cut
on the head.

Death Generally Painless.

anything approaching the death bed
