THE BROTHERS

the twin brothers | could understand the
baleful glitter in their eyes when they looked
at the mate; but, uniformed at the time,
nothing of the hungry alteration with which
they regarded the girl.
They were in separate watches, slept in
separate forecastles, and did not meet eX-

men-policed them and kept them from
fighting. In other respects they did well.
Poorly educated, yet they were splendid
material from which to develop the hardy.

Tom was in my watch. and received some
tutelage from me; but | am positive that
Bill, in the other watch, got nothing from
the mate but kicks, cuffs, and abuse. Yet
he seemed to absorb something from his
twin brother; for, side by side, yet without
speaking, they acquired proficiency; until,
when both knew the ropes. could box the

8 DEAD At SYRACUSE, n. Y.
Lee Oldfield, Driving in so Mile
Race, Crashes Into Big
Crowd

Nine persons dead and sixteen
injured, several of them fatally, is
the result of an accident in the 50
mile race at the state fair at SYRIA
cuse, y. y, last Saturday after
noon.
A Knox racing car driven by
Lee Oldield. crashed through. the
fence On the turn, after leaving
the stretch in front of the grand
stand, and plowed for some dis
tancc into the crowd, causing the
deaths. Oldlicld was not serious
ly hurt. The blowing up of
tire on the machine was the cause
of the accident.
The accident happened during
the forty seventh mile of the race,
OldtieId was lap behind K. De-
Palma and was then running even
with him. Oldheld had bad tire
on his car for more than "a miles,
but it did not blow out until the
race was within three miles of the
finish.
The dead and injured were TAX
en- to the emergency hospital on
the fair grounds and at the same
time, the woman's building was
turned into a hospital ward. Ply
sicians on the grounds hurried to
the hospital and general call was
sent into the city for help. For
more than 20 miles, spectators
said, Oldfeld had been driving his
car with one of the shoes tapping
in the hope of beating out DePal-
ma. However, his manager, in
stead of stopping, had urged him
to increased speed.
In spite of the fact that it quick
ly became known that many had
been killed and injured, the Off
cials in charge refused to call off
the race and the last few miles
were run while hundreds Jhronged
the track.
Oldfeld, the driver, who is in a
hospital, is being guarded by an
officer and as soon as he recovers
will be arrested.

Meteor Hits Earth

People living near Scenic were
startled several weeks ago by a
brilliant light in the heavens, one
evening, and some saw a meteor
disappear as they supposed beyond
the horiszon. j. A. Mulbolland, a
homesteader, who is holding a
claim four milds east of Scenic on
what is known as Il Table not only
saw the brilliant light given off the
by the meteor, but he also heard it
strike the ground with great force.
Investigation showed that the me-
teor hit the earth in a draw strik-
ing a hog-back in it and plough
ing up a deep furrow of earth.
Finally it buried itself in the
earth to an unknown depth. The
meteor is about three feet in diam
eter as Judged by those who have
seen the hole made where it buried
itself. B. w. Lloyd has obtained
permission from Mulholland and
expects to dig the heavenly visitor
up and see what material it may be
composed of.

TO PREVENT CHINESE FLOODS
American Red Cross Engineer
Now in China Studying
the Problem

The present flood in Yangtze
River, in China, with the frightful
loss of life and property which it
has caused, makes especially time
Iy the recent action of the Ameri-
can Red Cross in sending to China
an expert engineer for the purpose
of studying the best means of pre-
venting the floods which repeatedly
have caused such awful devastat-
ion in that country. This engineer
Mr.. c.. d. Jameson reached China
in July, and has been given a cor
dial welcome and all necessary as
sistance by the Chinese govern.
ment. AS Mr.. Jameson formerly
lived sixteen years in China his
familiarity with customs and con-
ditions gives him a thorough pre-
paration for his present important
mission.
BY the terms of its federal char
ter the Red Cross is charged with
the duty of trying to prevent as
we'll as relieve distress caused by
disasters. In this instance the salary
and expense of Mr.. Jameson are
borne by the Red Cross, while the
Chinese government provides fol
all otherexpenses. Most of the grea
Chinese disasters which have 81
frequently shocked the world have
been in the form of floods, or fam
ines resulting from the destruction
of crops by floods. The terrible
famine for the relief of whose suf
erers the world was called upon t,
give last winter was caused thi
way. 1t would seem that here i
one of the most striking oppor
tunities ever afforded for demon
strating the value of preventive a
compared to relief measures.

WERE LOST ON THE PRAIRIE
Two Children Wander Away
From Home and Spend Night
Out Doors

Barcfooted and without coats or
hats, the two little children, boy
and girl aged two and four, of
Mr.. and Mrs. f. II. Noack, who
reside northeast of ElbOn, wander
ed away from home just before
night fall last Thursday and spent
the night out on the open prairie.
The little tots were playing about
the house when Mrs. Noack went
to the barn to milk the COWS, Mr..
No ok being away at the time, and
on her return, they had apparent,
ly been swallowed up by the gloom
which was fast envelOping the
surroundings in darkness. After
searching every nook and corner
of the premises, the frantic and
distracted mother secured help
from the Deighbors, who aided by
lanterns, spent the greater part of
the night in seeking the lost child
ren but no trace of them could be
found. A general alarm was sent
out at day light the next morning
and neighbors for miles around
arrived to join in the search. Just
as the sun was creeping over the
eastern hills, John Griffin, the
merchant at Topbar, found the
missing children not more than a
half mile from their home. Aside
from exposure from the cold night,
the little ones were uninjured and
none the worse off for their ex-
perience of spending the night on
the open prairie with only the
stars to watch over them.

perance question has become so
general, and in a number of states
so intense, that the attempts that
are to be made upon the republi-
can and democratic conventions,
cannot be lightly pushed aside.
There seems to be rather wide
spread interest among public men
in securing better and more uni
form divorce laws, throughout
the country, and it has been point
ed out that President Taft, during
his western trip, will advocate
uniform laws whereby a divorced
man or woman denied the right
of marriage in one state shall not
remarry in another state. The
president desires that all states
prohibit such marriages and frame
laws constituting violation of
these edicts of the court, punish
able as otherwise provided in the
cases of bigamy. OF course one
hears the old cry that it is impos-
sible to frame uniform laws
throughout the country, but in
ontradiction Of this are the stat
utes of the different states, making
uniform laws concerning negoti-
able instruments.
The secret service men are sat
isied that through the arrest of
S. A. Potter in Chicago that they
have captured one of the largest
green goods operators in the
country. The reports going out
from Chicago to the effect that
Potter and his accomplices had
netted million and a half dollars
from their operations, is given
full credit by the officials in
Washington who have been trail
ing the gang for a number of
years.

Never in the history of the

fair been more successful than the
one just closed. Ideal weather pre-
vailed the entire week. The rail.
ways handled the immense crowds
without interruption and no acci.
dents occurred. The city was free
from disreputable characters and
the Huron citizens entertained the
throngs admirably.
The attendance for the week ag-
gregated little over $4,000
nearly 5000 more than last year
Exhibits in all departments were
good and in most instances better
than heretofore. This was espec.

WILL HAVE HARD "SLEDD|N"
Newspaper Men May Take Op.
portunity to Score for
Affront

Pierre: The expected announce
ment that State Senator |. O.
Curtiss of Aberdeen, would be in
the congressional race further dis
turbs the already muddled waters
of the second district. Mr.. Curtiss
declares for LaFollette, against
waste of public funds, and stands
pat on his ballot bill, on which it
seems evident he intends to make
his stand for popular approval.
The ballot bill was measure
requiring that initiative and refer
ended laws as well as constitutional
amendments should be printed by
the state in pamphlet form pro
rated to the different counties,
whose auditors would be required
to mail one to every voter in the
county, instead of the old method
of publicity through official pa
pers. Mr.. Curtiss proposed it as
step towards greater economy,
the old plan costing the people of
the state in the neighborhood of
100000 at the last election, while
Curtiss claimed that his plan would
decrease the expense to a very
low figure.
His measure passed the senate
with little opposition, but met
great resistance in the house from
a strong newspaper lobby.
In connection with this fight,
Curtiss is said to have made re-
marks which were highly offensive
to the newspaper boys. 1t is GER
tain that he will have bitter news
paper opposition, not only from
his own district, but from the en-
tire state. Some of the papers
have ironically suggested that he
carry on his campaign by the PAM
phlet route, His candidacy again
divides the political strength of
the second district, already split
between McNulty, Glass and Brom-
ley. 1t was surmised at the time
of Judge McNulty's announce
ment that arrangements had been
made with Curtiss to keep out of
the running, but the recent devel-
opments prove this to be untrue.

candidates, with the possibility OF
Burke or Vessey coming in later
