SEWER CATCHES BOY
Lad Swept 1000 Feet Underground by
swift Current.

Lehighton. Pa. July II. - While
twelye-year-old Ralph Snyder, Of this
place. was playing with companions
at the Iron street entrance 10 the
Opera House. he slipped and fell into
the gutter, through which powerful
current Of water was passing at great
speed.
He was carried away with the swift
ness Of an arrow; but his playmates
thought It only huge joke until they
saw him plunge feet first, into the
open culyert leading to the big sewer
Then they became excited and spread
an alarm. and very soon several hun
dred people ran to his rescue. Some
began to tear the coverings from the
sewer; but others ran to the point
where the stream empties into the
Lehigh river.
The boy, however, was sidetracked
in a branch pipe at the Carbon Tran
sit companys power house. where he
landed safe. but saturated.
While the crowd searched franticlly
for his body at the end OF the sewer.
Ralph hailed them in boyish glee from
the railroad bank All were amazed,
and attributed hi sescape to kind
providence.
The current carried him over 1000
feet through the sewer, and its force
was very powerful.

ROOSEVELT AND ADMlNlSTRA-
TON

The attitude of the Republican
State convention of Indiana, which
nominated Senator Beveridge to
succeed himself, was such that Mr..
Taft sidestepped that State when he
started out on his Western speech
making tour. The convention did
not sufficiently. according to Mr..
Taft's idea, endorse the Republican
tariff program and it nominated for
Senator a man who trained with the
insurgent element of the Repubh-
can party. Mr.. Roosevelt, however,
has announced that he will partici-
pate actively in Mr.. Beveridge's cam
paign, and his attitude is significant
in view of the uncertainty as to
whether he would espouse the cause
of the insurgents or the regulars.
Both factions seem to realize that
their very existence depends upon
the stand the ex-president takes. If
ne espouses the cause of the regulars
the insurgents will be down and out,
and it is also very probable that if
he takes up the fight of the insur-
gents the regulars will lose their
grip. If straws show which way the
wind blows, it would seem that Mr..
Roosevelt is going to cause the adj
ministration some embarrassment in
the near future.

ALEXANDRIA AND FREDER-
ICKSBURG ASSESSMENT

Closely following the announce
ment that Fredericksburg's new
assessment would show an increase
of about seven hundred thousand
dollars comes the statement that
Alexandria city's increase will run
slightly over one million. This
should be good news to those news
papers and those citizens who have
been waging a determined fight for
a fairer and more equitable assess
ment of real property in this State.
If these two cities can furnish such
a splendid increase as to make the
reduction of their local tax rate rea-
sonably certain it is probable that
the other Virginia cities will make
an equally favorable showing. In
fact the spirit Of fairer assessments
has been rampant in the cities for
some time now, and 1t only remains
to be seen whether the same feeling
exists in the counties. City real
values have increased since the last
assessment, but so have farm values,
and the returns from the counties
should show a material gain. On
the whole, even under the old assess
ment, city property comes nearer be-
ing assessed at its market value
than does country property. as is
shown by comparison between the
taxes paid the State by the cities
and counties respectively, and it is
to be hoped, therefore. that the as
SCISSORS in the counties have done
their duty as well and as faithfully
as those in the cities.

WHITE FRIGHT KILLS NEGRO
Practical Joke Too Much For Winner
on Johnson-Jeffries Fight.

Omaha, Neb., July IL. - While q
coroner's jury has determined that
Tom Green. a negro porter in a bar
Der shop, was scared to death. 1t re-
mains a fact that his death was indi-
rectly due to the victory of Johnson
over Jeffries. Green had bet all his
money on Johnson and had mortgaged
his salary for weeks to come.
Having won, he collected his bets
and celebrated. In the evening, being
considerably intoxicated, Green sat In
a barber chair and was soon sound
asleep.
When the hour for closing arrived
two Of the BARRIERS concluded to play
a joke upon Green. They powdered his
face and wool until they were as white
as snow and then threw white sheet
over him.
When Green awoke and looked In
a glass he shrieked in terror: Good
Lord, was always black. Now | am
white. II is not me- | am dead. and this
is my ghost!" He fell back In the
chair and expired.
