DEATH. OF 4, HEROINE
WHO SAVED 200 LIVES.
Kate SkeIIy CrawIed Over TrestIe In
Terrific Storm to Warn Train.

Kate Sicily, to whose courage anil
self possession 200 train passengers
owed their lives twenty years ago, died
recently at Boone, la.
When Miss Sicily was sixteen years
old her father vas a section foreman
employed by the Chicago and North
western railroad. Heavy rains on the
evening Of July 6, 1891, caused the
Des Moines river to rise, and the rush
OF the water was so terrific that eleven
out of twenty-one of the railroad
bridges and trestles were swept away.
Miss Skelly was arguing with her
mother for permission to go out in
search of her father when they heard
a crash. Looking out, they saw that
a helper engine had fallen through a
trestle close to their home and was
buried in the bayou beneath.
Grasping a lantern, the girl ran to
the scene of the accident. Two of the
crew of four men on the engine had
been drowned, The others were bad
~ hurt:
The girl made her way up a bluff
and started for MDingona, four miles
away. She knew a passenger train
was due. The wind extinguished her
lantern before she reached the trestle,
half a mile long, over which in the
darkness she was compelled to creep.
Reaching the station at Moingona
just as the ~passengn. train arrived
there, she gave the warning, then col
lapsed. When she recovered she led
a band3of rescuers back over the peril
JUS route, she had just t~raversed. saved
the two injured trainmen and was car
ried home to her mother.
Subsequently the legislature voted
her a fund Of $4,000.

PENSIONS FOR SERVICE.
General Torrance Insists That Rewards
Should Be Based on That Alone,

SSlONi0 &c odSSO OH ! nat NICT0s
General FL Torrance of Minneapolis,
chairman Of the legislative committee
Of the 6. A. r., told the pension COM
mittee of the senate that the Grand
Army favored a pension bill based on
both age and service, carrying about
$30,OO0,000 annually. Representative
Isaac Sherwood Of Ohio, author of the
service pension bill bearing his name
that recently passed the house. said
that he was not welded to any par
ticular bill, but he insisted hat service
alone should be the test of reward.
The plan advocated by General Tor
rance for the Grand Army is covered
by a proposition originally suggested
by Senator McCumber, chairman Of
the senate committee on pensions. 1t
proposes that pensions for veterans
sixty-two years of age shall vary from
$12 a month for ninety days service
to sol a month for three years serv-
ice; that siXty-six-year-old veterans
shall have $15 a month for ninety
days and $24 a month for three years
service; that seventy-year-old veterans
shall receive $1S for ninety days serv-
ice and $27 for three years service;
that veterans seventy-five years old
shall receive $21 a month for ninety
days service and $50 for three years
service. 1t is estimated that under
this scheme there would be 387,957
pensioners, receiving in the aggregate
$50, 994,420.

and system of conducting the school
generally has given all round satisfac-
ton to the people OF the vicinity
Several of the large farmers around
here have about decided that from now
on they will do with less horsehesh and
invest in gas tractor engines Louis

that this is the modern idea of big farm

ed for spring delivery. Now we may
look to see many of the big Mt. Carmel
farmers follow suit.

and only n case of absence and that

that every grade IN the upper room had
100 per cent in p%unctuality, except the
seventh and in that there we're but two
cases of hardness. In the seventh
grade there was but one case of absence.
In the eighth two and in the sixth one
and the fifth four. So close was the
contest for the banner that all four
grades had an average Of over SO per cent
for attendance and punctuality and the
