CHAINED TO HIS DAUGHTER
Police Rescue Aged Man OverpOwer-
ed by Insane Woman. An Old
Mans Devotion to Daughter.

NEW York; St. Louis dis
patch to the Tribune tells a tragic
story of an old mans devotion to his
insane daughter and of a life spent
in terror of death at her hands that
was revealed by the police. Patrol
man John King, answering a feeble
call for help, found John Pollock,
eighty years old, in a second story
room securely bound to chair by an
iron chain.
His daughter, Laviolla Pollock,
had overpowered her father and,
forcing him into a chair had wrapp-
ed the chain about his body. The
other end of the chain was so Sc
curely attached to the girls waist
that it was with difficulty it was
removed.
When King entered the room the
girl sprang at him and caught him
about the neck. For five minutes
he struggled with her. Several times
she almost overpowered the officer.
The policeman, still in the insane
woman's grasp, finally struggled to
window and threw his patrol box key
to a passerby, who ran to the box
and sent a call for aid to the central
station.
Police were rushed to the scene
The woman was Overpowered, and,
still entangled in the chain, was TAX
en- to the observation ward in the
city hospital.

Stations RECORD BREAK
ING RACE FOR GOVERNOR

is yet in doubt the indications are
that Broyles has won.
The Biggest Puzzle.
The really big puzzle is the race
for commissioner of agriculture, and
the chances seem that the fight will
be thrown into the state convention.
On the face OF the latest returns j..
D. Price is leading, with j. j. Brown
second and A. o. Blalock third. Con-
solidated returns may change this
situation, however. 1t is extremely
doubtful, however, if any of the
three have 1876 votes in the cOnven-
ton, the necessary number of choice.
AS belated returns come in most
of them are favorable to Price, who
is more than hopeful. He is in town
today and says that he feels confident
of carrying IS counties.
In the congressional races Walker
has won over Parker in the Eleventh
by a decisive majority, and in the
Ninth Congressman Bell has defeat
ed his two opponents, Speaker John
n. Holder and w. A. Charters, badly.
In the Sixth district the result
between Congressman Bartlett and
]. W. Wise is in doubt, with Bart
lett claiming a plurality of % votes.
Wise appeared to be winner at first,
but alleged discrepancies of 800 or
more votes in the count in Bibb
county, the home of Bartlett, gives
the race to the latter by a scratch.
In the Albany judicial circuit So
licitor General w. E. Wooten was
defeated by r. c. Bell of Cairo.

in history as one of the most active
wielders of the veto who ever lived
in the white house.
Taft's veto record probably sur
passes that of any other president in
the last quarter of century. Cleve-
lands vetoes were aimed mainly at
pension bills. President Taft has al
ready vetoed twenty-five bills. BY
the end of another week he will
probably have swung the axe against
a dozen more. 1t is regarded as GER
tain that he will disapprove of the
legislative bill because of the seven
year civil service tenure and the abb
clifton of the commerce court. All
the tariff bills will receive the presi-
dental disapproval unless prepared
as recommended by the tariff board.
The army appropriation bill, al
ready vetoed because it disrupted the
army organization will pass con-
gress somewhat emasculated, but the
president may still withhold his sig
nature from it.
The postoffice bill, besides provid-
ing for a parcels post, may carry
$50, 900 for good roads, to which
Taft may object. If the anti-injunc-
ton and contempt bills get through
it is believed they will draw presi-
Dental disapproval.
Tafts first use of the veto which
attracted national attention was on
the Arizona and New Mexico state
hood bills, basing his disapproval on
the recall of judges in the Arizona
constitution.

INCIDENTS IN IssEN's LIFE.

While at Bergen, Ibsen fell a little in love with pretty girl, who used to bring the young poet flowers from the wood. One day, while walking with her, the pair were suddenly met by the young lady's father, who had no respect for an impecunious poet. Ibsen, like Goethe, was no hero, and incontinently fled, leaving the girl to explain as best she might. It was to her that the poem "Flow- CTS of the Wood" was written.
 As a young man Ibsen was by no means certain of his vocation. Until he was thirty-two he believed himself to be born for painting. In fact, a fairly large exhibition might be got together of the canvasses painted by Ibsen in the days of his early manhood, and scattered now through the farmhouses and country villas of Norway. He remained all his life profoundly interested in art, and his judgments of ancient and renaissance art in Italy are always original.
 Of Raphael he said: 'RaphaeIs art has never warmed me. His be- ings belong to the Garden of Eden before the fall"
