ESCAPE
OF Wallace Man from Death
When Horse Runs Away
is Miraculous.

WALLACE, April 1d-Quite Sc.
rtous accident occurred near here
Saturday evening when A.sC. Kunkle,
Of Big Rock Camp. superintendent
for n. Con, was riding horseback
along the railroad As he was com
ing through the narrows at Erving
siding about half way between here
and Brown, freight train came
along. AS the engine passed by his
horse, which has always been trusty
along the railroad. it became fright
ened and started to run with him in
the same direction the train was
running. The horse ran a short dis
lance along side the fast moving
train which was doubIe-header,
when Mr.. Kunkle seeing that it had
become uncomfortable and was near
a deep cut, he proceeded to get OF
in some way. The exact way he dis
mounted was little hard to ex.
plain, but the frightened horse kept
| up its speed and ran alongside the
moving train for about one-fourth
of mile, and from what could be
seen the horse was gaining speed on
the train, until he reached the rail-
road bridge near Il. L. DAWSON &
store, which bridge spans the county
road and creek together. There the
horse plunged on the high fill into
the road. distance of about TWEEN
ty-five feet, and was killed instant,
ly.
Mr.. Eunkle was not seriously hurt
although he sustained some severe
bruises from the fall from the
horse. But it was very close call
for him to jump from the horses
back while it was going at such a
speed alongside a fast moving train
so near a deep cut where there was
only room to operate a train
through. but it still looked very
dangerous for him to stick to the
horse, when 1t became uncontrolI
able. The horse killed was a valu.
able one, no doubt worth $175.

cused has denied the charge
emphatieally ana most POSI-
lively. Men who are even
accused are innocent IN the eyes Of
the law until found guilty and the
accusers IN these Instances have not
eessfully proved any one guilty.
They cannot convict men by making
aecnsatlons without substantiating
them.
Then the dopist criticizes the con-
duct oi'the old debt suit at length,
even going 50 Tar as 10 tell how the
suit should have been brought and
trying TO attach blame TO the Repub-
llcan state government for not fol-
lowing the outline suggested in the
article by him. The fellow is 50
crazy as to forget or overlook the
fact that Virginia and not West yir-
GINA brought the suit. Let him
remember this fact and criticize
Virginia, the plaintitf. il he wants TO,
and not West Virginia. the defend
ant, for bringing the suit and the
manner in which it was brought
And, at the end OF two column
article played up well ON the front
pages OF Democratic newspapers,
one finds the real. purpose OF the
hodge-podge OF illusions OF the
dopists, when he conveys the idea
that the article is merely in argu-
ment against an extra session Of the
legislature. the idea held out by
him being the probability Of an ex-
ira session has caused rise in the
market value OF the certificates, an
incident that can in no way ,eifect
West Virginia, as judgment against
West Virginia, IL made and needed,
would not include the increased
msrket value of the certificates as
the highest court has already indi-
Gated fixed amount.
The dopist also says thai while
the state was Democratic the old
debt question was not even heard of.
The history of the state and the
Democratic party show that again
he does not know what he is talking
about,
1t is a real pity that such a dopist
should be recognized at all by news
papers protesting even slight de-
gree OF intelligence, respectfully
and integrity of purpose.

Democratic Dopist.

That fairy story Democratic news
papers are, publishing about there
being an understanding between Re
publican politicians of this state and
holders of the old debt certificates is
purely imaginary and all one has to
do is to read it casually to come to
that conclusion.
The dopist who got that of evil
IDENTIFY was looking more for space
rate than to hearalding information
or news. He tries to associate GER
tain recent instances and then
draws imaginary deductions, in
which he actually holds up the gov
ernor of this state as being a party
to intrigue. All men who know
Governor Glasscock know that that
dopist has done him an adjustable
injury.

Health Follows the flag.

=
Everybody knows that trade fol-
lows the flag It should be a
source OF even greater pride to all
patriotic citizens that health. too,
follows the flag. That is the cheer
ing news from the Philippines, from
Panama. from Cuba and Porto Rico
and every place where the stars and
Stripes have synbolized the intro
duction OF American civilization.
The regeneration of Havana during
the American occupation Is now an
old story. Most persons are famiI-
lar with the beneAcent results that
ensued from the cleaning up of that
former fortress of the yellow
plague. Uncle Sam banished the
disease from Havana and today for
the visitor It is one OF the safest
Cities In the world.
Smallpox was the scourge of the
Philippine Islands under the rule Of
the spaniards. The region was
swept by epidemics every year and
the annual mortality Appropriated
10000 While the rebellion of the
natives persisted it was impossible
for the United States government
officials to enforce sanitary measures
but upon the subsistence Of the in
surrection a movement was started
to yaccinate every man, woman and
child in the Manila province. Later
this plan was extended to other
provinces. DR.. Victor C. Heiser, d.
rector of health for the Philippines,
now reports that since 1907 the dis
ease has been confined to few
scattering cases and that there has
not been a single death among vac
cinated persons. During the Span
ish regime it was necessary each
year in the dry season to erect in
Manila a large temporary hospital
for the army of smallpox victims.
Most OF them died. There have been
no deaths from smallpox in Manila
since June. 1909, and DR.. Heiser
says it is not too much to hope that.
the disease will eventually be
stamped out. Most persons remem-
Der the appalling amount of sick
ness there was among our soldiers
in the Spanish war. The. army au-i
thorities have learned lesson, as is
shown from the troops now I'm.
Texas. Only one in 200 of the SOL
diers at San Antonio is on the sick
list and there are no cases of con
tagious disease.
Now comes Charles Frances
Adams, of Boston, who has Just re-
turned from a visit to Panama, says
the Pittsburg Gazette-Times, with
the testimony that "the most no.
torious pest spot on the American
continent has been converted into a
health resort" He was not so much
impressed by the great engineering
features of the canal as by the scien-
tiic demonstration that life in the
tropics can be made healthful and
pleasant. If there are any anti
imperalists left, and it is believed a
few vocifcrous ones still linger in
Boston, it would be interesting to
have their opinions as to whether,
from the viewpoint of service to hu-
mainly, 1t has been worth while for
the United States thus to extend its
influence in world affairs.
