such shadows on the sun, great in

lies wholly in the ocean. passing over
groups of islands. Iowa will be close
to the northern limit of visibility of the
partial eclipse. and a little entering OF
the dark moon on the southern limit of

HAS MARROW ESCAPE
Samuel 8. Swift, lows Central Yard
Foreman, Escapes Death ~ Only
Inches When Dragged By Freight
ca-Treussrs Caught on Burr.

To be- dragged twenty five or thirty
feet and hurled against the car and rail
and escape with no worse injuries than
severe bruises, was the remarkably
fortunate experience of Samuel s.
Swift s North Third avenue. night
foreman of the Iowa Central local
yards, Wednesday night. Swift came
out of the accident with not even a
broken bone. but he was so frightfully
bruised that he will probably be con-
fined to his bed for number Of days.
The accident occurred while Swift was
aiding the night crew handle some cars
that were being moved in front of the
union station.
Swift had climbed part way up the
side of box car, and in getting off one
OF the legs of his trousers caught on a
burr on the journal box under the car.
He was dragged from his feet, thrown
against the car and then dragged
alongside Of it. Luckily he was not
pulled in under the car or he would
probably have been killed. For a dis
lance Of car length he was skipped
along feet foremost over the ties and
ground until the locomotive could be
stopped so he could be released. He
was especially badly bruised on the
right elbow and right hip that came in
contact with the ground while he was
being dragged.

Threatens His Job
If He Doesn't S;q,,

"A policeman's life is not a happy
one" is the way it used to be sung in
The Pirates of Penzance," and that
the old song is true is believed by ev-
cry member on the police force at the
present time
The police appear TO be special
marks for those who are circulating
the saloon petition. and if there are
any whose lives have been made miser-
able by persistent everlasting efforts to
get them to sign, they are the poor po-
ncemen.
William Edgar. who is a mechant
police. and has a contract with diff
ferent business men to watch their
places OF business at night, has told
petitioners time and time again that
have been final effort to get Edsar's
signature was made by saloonist per-
sonally. The saloonist even went SO
far as to threaten Edgar with the loss
Of all his business that came from the
saloons and those who syTnpathize with
them in securing the petition. You
had better make UP your mind to sign,
and in a hurry, too, if you know where
Your bread and butter comes FROM y
was the remark Of the saloon keeper to
Edgar.
Edgar, however. will not sign. He
made up his mind long ago, even tho
ne realized that he would probably
lose some of his patronage. The pros
poets are. however, that if Edgar loses
his saloon trade he will gain enough
from the other side to more than COM
pensate him for his stand. However.
the other side has not threatened him
with the loss of their business If he
did sign
But Edgar is not the only police
officer who has been threatened with
the loss Of his job if he failed to sign
Nearly every officer on the force has
had the same threat made to him. but
SO far as Is known there has been but
one member of the force who has sign
ed the petition.
The police know better than any
one else the trouble men get into from
booze, and they would be only too glad
to be rid OF the disgusting sights and
annoyances that originate in the sa-
looms
Reports OF threats being made by sa-
loon canvassers to professional men
and to business men and of threats to
destroy a workingman's job are COM
ing to light every day. It was a hor-
ribie thing for church people to urge
business men to sign a remonstrance
or lose church peoples trade but the
saloon crowd can threaten and bull
doZe without exciting comment. The
reason Is that It is expected.
