SWALLOWED S. CRfENBACK;;
WOULD like TO COUGH up

There Is young man i'm Hancock
who wants to get rid of a five dollar
bill the worst way. 1T is doubtful If
anybody ever wanted to cough up
real money as badly as does William
Scanlon, and Is unable to do so. Will
liam has the money about his person
but the difficulty is that it Is in a
place where he can't get at it. It's in
his stomach.
Last Saturday william in jest, placed
a five dollar bill I'm his mouth declar-
ing that he was going to eat 1t, mean
ing 1t only as a little pleasantly and
without any serious intention of
soaking" away the dough I'm his gas
Economical receptacle. He proceeded
TO go through the motions of mastica-
ton and swallowing when to his hor-
ror and CONSERVATION he found the
tightly rolled wad of green paper slid
ing down his windpipe. He strapgled
and gagged and choked and coughed
but to no purpose the money wouldn't
come back, and feeling of nausea and
disgust permeated his system MS he
realized that he had recklessly con-
signed Ave dollars worth of dough
to the spot where he was In the habit
of placing pie, pork and potatoes Will
liam at last accounts was acting as
"A movable savings bank, but he de-
clares that 1t is closed to all further
deposits of like nature.

seph's hospital in n serious condition
and his recovery is doubtful, he hav.
ing received many bruises besides
severe internal injuries. The accident

| Besides Mustonen there are a num-
Der OF other local men at the hospi-
tai suffering from injuries of a more
or less serious nature. some incurred
through accident and some through
Violence at the hands of others. Dom
inic F'rancioni, who received a frac-
ture of the skull two weeks ago Is
reported to be improving and may pos

out of danger and has not as yet been
Informed of the death of his brother

Inconsistencies and badly battered
about the face by companion near
the cemetery last week Is doing nicely
and Will soon be able to leave the hos
pital. His assailant has not vet been
apprehended but the police are on the
alert and 1t is expected that an arrest
may be made soon. Some light was
thrown on the matter Saturday by
woman living on Lake street near the
cemetery. who has informed the po-
lice that on the night of the assault
of Nurmi she was accosted near the
hospital by a man whom she believes
might have been Nurmis assailant

says she saw n man enter the ceme-

to go to sleep. A moment afterwards
she met another man, who told her
he was a Waterman and that the man
who had entered the cemetery was an
other who had charge of the district
between the cemetery and the pump
ing station. She knew this to he false
stopping to make any reply hurried
towards her home. The man followed,
still talking, and as she reached the
sidewalk near the hospital. he asked
her If the children with her were her
own. She no longer feared the man,
having come where houses were near
by and she told him 1t was none of
his business" He then turned back
towards the cemetery. and IL is pre-
sumed that he found Nurmi there and
the assault then robbed
him OF the money and watches. The
man is described as wearing hard
hat and being of dark complexion.
John Maxi, who also is a victim of
assault and robbery and whose condi-
ton was at first thought to be serious

FLEET PRESENTS
A FINE SHOWING
BUFFALO PAPER DESCRIBES WIS.,
1T OF YANTIc, GOPHER AND
OTHER BOATS OF NAV
AL RESERVES.

or the arrival of the Great Lakes
squadron of training ships at Buffal,
the Buffalo Evening News says:
Sunrise saw the Naval Militia flee
group of indistinct spccks on thu
western horizon, and at o'clock tn,
ships were anchored inside the break
water where they remained until II
O'Clock, when the cruise down the Nj
agara river began.
To the few watchers who turned out
so early it'was an imposing spectacle
The fleet approached the harboi
steaming in column, Commander
Marsh's flagship was in lead. The hulls
were as white, the brass as shiny as
any ship of the regular navy. From
the decks resounded from time to
time the same old bugle calls, sig
nails for whiteducked jaclxies TO hurry
about the ship like a real man-o-
wars crew.
AS each ship approached, signals
from the flagship assigned her anchor
age. They lay i'm line inside the sea-
wall like flock of white ducks, with
occasionally cutter plying back and
forth as officers exchanged visits.
There was no ceremony connected
with the arrival of the fleet. though
later in the day the sailor men will be
welcomed by Aid. Kennedy, who was
assigned to do the honors by Mayor
Fuhrmann. The only craft that put
off to the fleet was the police boat car
rying police officers and newspaper
men. Statutes were exchanged as the
boat passed along the line of gun
boats.
The Hawk took part in the entry of
the fleet. Lieut.. Thomas w. Harris
ordered the anchor up an hour before
sunrise and steamed up the lake, re-
porting to Commander Marsh a few
miles this side of Dunkirk. Then the
Hawk steamed back with the fleet,
and she will remain with II until the
other ships leave for upper lake ports.
Aboard the ships in Buffalo harbor
are 1000 men and more than 100 Of
flcers who will be the countrys first
aid in time of war. They are fitted by
actual experience to go aboard any
of the great fighting machines of the
regular navy and do their part like
regulars.
The men on the ships anchored here
are only a part of the great force
which Uncle Sam Is holding in reserve
for there are divisions of naval militia
at most of the ports along the Atlantic
coast, and some on the Pacific. Off
Gals of the War Department are COM
ing more and more to look upon the
naval militia as one of the country's
most valuable assets i'm time of war,
and a demonstration of this was the
training given the eastern divisions
this summer aboard regular battle
ships.

the national house of representatives.
Mr.. Kerr pointed out that the Office
of congressman differed from that of
any other state or county Official in
that while the duties and labors of the

trict and Of the nation.
Mr.. Kerr then criticized the meth
DDS Of procedure under the Cannon

should have arbitrary powers to block
legislation. but that any member even
a new man on his first day i'm the
house, should have the right to pre-
sent any measure he desired and to
be heard i'm advocacy of any bill on
which he wished to speak.
Among the measures the passage of
