WHERE WOMEN FAIL.

llunnewell, Kansas, gives the peo'
pie a fair example Of the failure OF
women in public office. At the elec.
tion held in that town last month
all the principal offices Of the mu.
nicipality were voted to women-wo
men who had waited for an oppor
mnity of popular sentiment upon
which to be elevated to public places
of trust The saner people of the
town who probably voted against
the pctticoat candidates perhaps
could foresee the results that would
follow their election, but there were
others who had to be shown, and
they are now having their eyes
opened
The result has been a continuous
wranglc- the women members Of the
council cant agree and the male
members of the board who were
elected refuse to sit in council with
their Off sex colleagues

CAESARS HEAD SAFE.
People Who Know Conditions In
clined to Discount Reports.

Greenville, April 25.-That the
statement conveyed in Associated
Press dispatches this morning that
the mountain peak known as Cae-
sar's Head had been overturned by
an earthquake shock last Friday
night was erroneous is the belief of
various citizens of this place, who
have been in the neighborhood OF the
famous resort in the past few days.
Parties who returned to Green
ville yesterday after spending Satur-
day and Sunday within very short
distance of the Head, report that
nothing out of the ordinary has oc-
Cured.
It is believed here that the over
turning of a rock in that section OF
the Blue Ridge was the occasion for
the report. Caesars Head, the we'll
known resort, is in South Carolina,
and while no local knowledge Is
found to this effect it is thought that
there may be some other smaller
peaks of this name in North Caro-
lima.
Caesars Head is about 26 miles
from Greenville. No telephone OF
telegraph connections are available

Harem Skirt Seen in Bamberg Causes
Great Commotion.

AS the morning train drew up at
the station from Augusta the door OF
the end coach opened and out on
the platform stepped what appeared
to be a freak; woman dyked in a
harem skirt. In a moment she caught
the gaze of that portion of the mas
culine population who frequent this
neighborhood when they made a mad
rush for the rail, the noise and COM
motion attracted the attention OF
others who rushed up, pushing, shov-
ing, prodding and knocking until 1t
appeared that a riot call must be
sent in. At that moment some one
called the chief who ran up brand
ishing his familiar stick which soon
cleared a way. AS the eyes OF the
chief looked upon the peculiar OBJ
iect he stared for a moment then
fell in a swoon. Ready hands picked
him up tenderly, carrying him to a
nearby drug store where faithful
friends remained administering the
several restoratives. Late in the af-
ternoon they were rewarded for their
labors when they saw the chiefs eyes
slowly culver and heard him lowly
murmur: els O'Riley still in town.
and many voices made glad reply:
"He is, he is, he is.'

D'BERRY ARRESTED AGAIN.
Health Officer of Florence Accused
of Attempted Criminal Assault.

Florence, April 24.-Harry De-
Berry, health officer, was arrested
again to-day on another warrant in
the same case in which he was re-
leased several days ago on a $400
bond for trial on charge Of assault
and battery of high and aggravat-
ed nature on a young woman whom
he escorted to boarding house in
this city. This time the affidavit,
sworn to by relative of the girl,
charged that he laid violent hands
on her and attempted a criminal as
sault.
On this affidavit he was committed
to jail by his brother-in-law, Magis-
trate C. S. McClenaghan, before
whom the affidavit was made. The
case has entered very largely into
the municipal fight, which reaches a
climax in the second primary to-
morrow. The fight being on Mayor
Gilbert, DeBerry's brother-in-law,
charging him with not prosecuting
the case as he should have done.
Mayor Gilbert in letter tn the at
ternoon's paper declares that the
whole fight is political in it's nature,
and that when the matter was first
presented to him by the relatives OF
the girl they asked for no more than
reprimand for DeBerry, but that
later the political possibilities OF the
case became plain and his enemies
took hold of it to defeat him In his
campaign. The relatives of the girl
say that she was loath to give the
strongest charges in the first In
stance, and that they have induced
her to tell the whole truth in the
second affidavit.
The fight against Gilbert Is bitter.
There is every indication of hot
fight at the polls tomorrow.

Mare Defends Child.

Charleston, April PA mare be-
longing to John Cooper was the hero
inc in a savage attack which a large
turkey gobbler made upon small
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper at their
residence, the gentle animal taking a
position with surprising intelligence
directly over the PROSTATE form OF
the little boy and with her head
fighting off the infuriated bird as 1t
tried to scalp the child. The gobbler
weighed "a pounds. It was mag
nificent bird and was admired by all
who saw it. No harm had ever come,
however, to the child, and it seems
that it was never thought necessary
to especially guard against any at
tacks of the kind. While the child
was at play in the yard, the goo-
bier attacked him and knocking the
child PROSTATE, was savagely pecking
at the head and tearing the flesh,
as it closed it's beak and pulled at
the skin and hair. The child was
heard to cry in pain, but 1t was a
minute or two before he could be
reached, and when the call was ans
wered, the mare was found en-
deavoring to protect the child from
the attack. AS the gobbler viciously
flew and pecked at the child the
mare would put her head in the way
and receive the beak. The horse
had seen the gobbler attack the
child, and with wonderful intelil-
gence and a sense of devotion, she
came to his assistance and protec-
ton, and perhaps saved his life or
serious injury. AS it was, the child's
head was badly pecked and the scalp
torn in places, but the wounds will
speedily heal.
