MT. Gaynor medestly declined to take any credit for his act, saying that he would have rescued the widow if she were twice as good looking
 It was about 3 o'clock in the after noon when young Gaynor walked along the lake front near the Loomarwick house. Clad in natty suit that must ed along, blithely wfistling an air he heard at the FoIies Bergere.
 Suddenly he heard a cry for help. Young Gaynor regardless of wrinkling his -.t' threw that priceless garment to the ground, adjusted his cravat and leaped into the raging waters. Using the Australian crawl stroke he swam toward a capsized boat to which a comedy young woman was clinging.
 Have courage" shouted our hero. "I will soon be with you and then we can tell our real names He soon reached the boat, instructed the widow how to place her hand on his shoulder and then the return trip to the shore commenced. The shore was lined with, summer visitors as the res cue party hove in sight and cheer af- ter cheer rent the air.

UNION PACIFIC WILL
 DEFY THE FEDERATION
 AND WELCOME STRIKE

New York, Sept. 2S-The Union Pa cific Railway has decided to defy the system federation and will welcome 8 strike if forced at this time. That is the interpretation placed, this af- ternoon, by officials of the road, to the reply telegraphed by Julius Krutt- schnitt, vice-president to the repre- sentatives of the Union shopmen re- questing a conference to consider the demands of the union., In his tele- gram, KruttsqAnitt said:
 My presencU Uhere, of course, makes it impossible for me to meet you in Chicago, on Thursday at noon. If the essentials of admittedly fair and considerate treatment, the payment of the highest wages of any railroad in the territory served by our lines and the guarantee of hospitable and gen. erous pensions have not been suffi- cieft to keep our shopmen from ter- minating agreements insuring these conditions. I do not see that we can do anything more to convince them that they have no good reason to stop work or to prevent your giving ap- proval and permission to leave our service

 Dodge, Ia., Sept. 28-Real Iowa in surgency. in the person of Senator AL bert B. Cummins, gave President Taft what the "40V' call the "snub direct, today. Curnmins f1at1y declined to ride on the Presidential train while President Taft was making his short campaign through the State.
 Senator Jackson and half a dozen insurgent Congressmen also boarded the, train, among them Pickett, Prouty, Woods, Green and Kendall But Curnmins, pioneer and leader of Iowa insurgency, was not there He sent word that ''he would not ride on the Presidents train through the State, but would act on the reception committee when the President reached Des Moines,'' Cummins' home.
 The President talked prosperity and the tariff and defended his vetoes of the Democratic insurgent tariff bills. Thousands of NIowans turned out to heal. him at Council Bluffs, Woodbine, Denison and Dodge, but there. was little enthusiasm like the Kansas re- ception.
 At Woodbine, the President made what many believed to be an attack on Iowa's deep interest in politics when he said: A
 ''It would be better for Iowa if her crop of statesmen was less and her crop of corn more.''

 Kecko displayed great nerve and aroused the admiration of the ambu- lance surgeon. He laughed at his injury, made light of his suffering and refused to lie down in the ambulance on the way to the hospital
 Kecko was at work on a throw off, on 8 big press when he caught his fingers, losing the index and sec ond fingers of his right hand almost flush with the hand.
 T was lucky that it didn't go far ther and take off part of the hand,'' said Kecko with a smile when the ambulance surgeon examined him.
 Kecko played last year on the Thun- derbolts and the year before on the Acorns. News of his injury is sure to arouse a great deal of sympathy among his team mates. He has been prominent in amateur athletics in this city for many years. Kecko is 30 years of age and resides in Hol1ister Heights.

He said his com pany was not against all saloons. but he knew the company had lost money by reason of the presence of saloons in the vicinity.
