ALMOST DROWNED IN CIsTERN.
Iowan Has Narrowing Experience
Before Aid Reaches Him.

Davenport, Iowa, June 25.-Resi-
dents of the village of Sears were
early Friday morning aroused from
their slumbers by frantic appeals
for assistance, coming from the di-
rection OF the power plant along the
Rock river. Several of the more
wakeful ones rushed from their beds
and proceeded in the direction of an
abandoned cisterl, located south of
the power house, from whence ag-
onizing cries for help burst forth.
Bob, for Gods sake save me!
am drowning!" was the pitiful cry
heard as the rescue party drew near
the cistern. Looking down into the
old we'll, the searchers heard low
means and sounds of splashilg. Som
Ropes were secured and lowered in
to the we'll, which tt e drowning man
grasped with a deathlike grip. He
was soon hauled to place of safe
~, where it was discovered that the
man was a well known employee of
the Watch Tower.

Alfalfa i'm North Iowa.

In view of the almost complete
failure of clover the past two years,
much interest attaches to the sue
cess which has been achieved by a
few farmers of this locality along
the line of growing alfalfa. One OF
the most productive of these fields
is a three acre tract on the N. Full
ierton, Sr. farm, six miles west of
town. In spite of the drouth, this
patch yielded an average of nearly
four tons to the acre last year, when
other meadows were not producing
d ton. The first cutting this season
was made last week and there are
1854 cocks which it is estimated will
weigh between sixty and seventy lbs.
each. If the hay weighs out on the
basis of this smaller estimate, it
means that this three acres has pro-
duced in a single cutting 21,S40 lbs.
of the best hay in the world, or I,
and two-third tons per acre. If far-
orable weather conditions continue
through the season, there should be
two more cuttings which should av-
erage a ton and half each. Anoth-
er field of five acres on the George
Dunkelberg farm has been cut the
past week also, and while this patch
was pastured in the spring il never
theless has yielded an average OF 3
tons per acre. There ought to he a
hint in these yields for a whole lot
of farmers who have been paying
from $14 to SIS per bushel for clo-
yer and getting practically nothing
in return.-Rockford Register.

Bold Mail Robbery at New Hampton.

A daring mail robbery was accom-
plished at the Milwaukee station in
New Hampton early Tuesday morn
ing, when several mail bags were
taken from the station trucks to the
Klein pasture nearby and cut open
ard rified.
The robbery was disclosed by the
finding of the sacks about six O'CLOCK
by some children who were going
after their COW. Sheriff Russell was
notified and by nine O'Clock had in
jail two fellows who were sleeping
in the woods near Boyd. AS soon
as an inspector comes an invesri"a-
ton will be made to see if they are
the men wanted Three unknown
men were around the depot during
the night.
The sacks contained only S econd
class mail matter such as packages
and newspapers. One Dashboard box
had been cleaned of its contents
with the exception of gold neck
lace, which the thieves overlooked.
They also left a number of packages
which apparently contained dry
goods
A small knife that the robbers us
ed to cut the sacks was left behind
in their hurried departure.

inventory OF lis contents. While il
the room OF the two little girls, Ber-
nice and Arabella, 9 and II years

girl and she called out to know who
it was. The robber answered that
lit is only papa, be quiet" The
young miss was not satisfied and in
sisted on knowing what he was do
ing. He laid down beside her and
tried to keep her quiet. The smell
of liquor on his breath alarmed her
for her father does not drink wills
key and she jumped for the gas
which has a lighting chain and in a
moment the room was brilliantly
lighted. The robber made a break
for the door and the stairs.
Mr.. Ellers was awakened by the
noise and followed. He reached the
lower floor about as soon as the in
truder and a rough house followed.
Chairs were broken in an effort to
capture and escape. Half of the
robbers coat was torn off and then
he jumped through the open window
to the ground. The fugitive was
captured by the marshal after a
short but decisive fight in the alley
as he was making for the railroad
tracks.

made another trip to the depot while
members of the family instituted a
search in all directions. The station
men had not seen or heard the child,
neither could he be located else
where. Finally, when the mother
had become frantic and the father

and alleys like a wild man, a tele-
phone message was received from
the Sutherland family at Donley sta

Favor the Ballot,

Ottumwa, Ia-Ottumwa business
men have conceived of way to cir
cumvent the petition of consent sys-
tenn to decide whether the county
should be "wt" or dry" The tenn
perance forces and the liberal inter
ests have both agreed to it, but the
Anti-Saloon league, as usual, is on
the opposite side.
The plan OF the business men is to
hold an election and let the voters
cast their ballot as 10 whether they
wart the town wet or dry" II
a majority votes to have it dry the
liberal interests agree not to circu-
late a petition, while if majority
votes for the regulated saloon, the
temperance people agree not to OPP
pose the circulation of a petition
Both sides agree that this Is the Oh
ly fair way to obtain an honest ex-
preston of the people as to what
they want 1t seems that ii should
be about time to change the law
when the residents of a community
have TO use such means to find out
what the people want Ottumwa cit
liens have had costly lesson as to
what the petition OF consent system
means.
AS is made plain by the above
proposition, Ottumwa is not the only
city in Iowa that want to vote on the
liquor proposition. No valid reason
has been advanced why they should
not.
