' SAVED FROM FLOODED MINI!.
After Standing in Water to Neck
for 31 Hours, Men Are Got Out.
Elevth, Minn., July 18.? The fiv<
men who were entombed at th<
Spruce mine here Wednesday as i
result of a cloudburst, were rescue(
last night.
The imprisoned miners were lo
cated by their tapping on a pipe whicl
had been drilled 40 feet into tin
mine. After the first signals wer<
heard the work of excavating wai
resumed with double energy and thi
men were soon located and brough
to the surface. While they all suffer
ed greatly, it is believed all will re
cover.
Amid scenes of wild excitemen
the men were brought to the sur
face after having stood neck deep ir
water for 31 hours.
Through interpreters the men, al
foreigners, told their story. The:
heard the guards warn the men wher
the water started rushing down th(
shaft, but they drew back at the sight
of the swirling torrents. As the wa
ter crawled up they were submerged
first to their waists and then to theii
shoulders. Realizing their plight
they attempted with picks and shovels
to dam the drift. For a time the:
were able to stem the tide. By thi:
time the water was up to their necks
Standing thus they waited for the
rescuers whom they heard working
desperately.
When the rescue crew had blastec
to within 40 feet of them they mad<
signals which were heard by the res
cuers.
Relatives of the entombed inei
broke down and cried with joy whei
the men appeared at the surface.
All of the 15 men imprisoned Wed
nesdav now have been recued.

. THE LOST SLAYER OF BOOTH. t(
I ! tl
= j Cases of Boston Corbett, Who Went P
to Kansas, Then Vanished. P
"" i ___
' Years ago before Gomer Davis or si
= j even the central branch had come to s;
? town, Concordia, Kan., vaunted it;
self upon the possession of a wild ii
g man. The wild man's name was Bos- t<
i ton Corbett. though he wasn't a prize C
? fighter at all, and he had the further ti
y | distinction of having killed John W. d
Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lin- e;
?m coin. Also he was a dead shot with n
an army revolver, wore his hair long n
; and suffered under the delusion that d
5? he was a much-wronged man. d
To begin at the beginning, howh
ever, which was a good many hun- n
dred miles from Concordia. When the q
Civil war broke out Corbett, who was a
,s 33 years old and a hatter, joined the e
d 16th New York Calvary regiment.
II Corbett was converted by a street tl
preacher in Boston before he joined a
3. the army; all during the war he o
spent much of his leisure time at- I
!~ tempting to evangelize his fellow j
[- troopers. c<
g Then, before the war was over, g
!t came the assassination of Lincoln, ii
,g and Booth's flight on horseback south b
e through Maryland. Cor'oett, who had ii
been promoted to the rank of ser- b
geant for bravery during the war,
r was one of the twenty-five troopers t<
n who went south on Booth's trail un- o
e der command of Lieutenant Edward e
P. Doherty. There are a good many c.
= different versions of what really hap- ^
peded after Booth was surrroundered t
in a barn near Bowling Green, but v
none of these versions has ever dis- d
p'uted the fact that it was Corbett ti
11 who shot Booth. E
The actor, supporting himself upon k
a rough crutch, was standing in the w
middle of the barn floor, refusing to h
0 surrender, and he held a carbine,
with which, in the growing light of lc
the barn which two civilian detectives e<
t had set on fire, he took aim at Do- lc
f herty. Boston Corbett, who had been n
. standing guard at a small opening in a
the side of the barn, saw the move, V
_ thrust the muzzle of his revolver e'.
t through the aperture and fired, B
_ wounding Booth af the base of the r;
t skull. Both was carried outside and 'I
^ died two hours later.
3 Now, it had been no part of the h
3 army officers who had set out after d
, Lincoln's slayer to have him shot lj
t down there in Maryland. They want- t<
s ed to bring him back to Washington k
and have him hanged in due state, t(
and many people who knew Corbett
afterward, say he was practically d
drummed out of the army because sc
s he killed Booth. tl
At any rate, Corbett always felt af- ti
terward he was a much wronged man. p
~ He had slain Booth; therefore, it was
e only right that he should have a b
a large part of the $75,000 reward o
* that had been offered by congress for a
the capture of Booth, alive or dead, si
Instead, he got only $2,545 of the b
1 money, and before he had a chance o
" to spend any of that, he was held up tl
" by footpads and robbed of the whole a
s roll. r<
a
^ Congress granted him a trifling E
pension, and he went to Camden, N. 0:
J., and applied for the job of assist- h'
ant postmaster there, was refused, 01
and made up his mind to come west. n
He came to Concordia and applied at s*
the land office there for a claim.
Eighteen miles from Concordia w
j there was a little hillside "eighty" ot K
. no especial value to any one, and a:
j there Corbett built a cabin. He T
s trenched his cabin, and there
t were loop-holes in the walls out b<
of which he might shoot. Some ei
, had told him that Booth had 1
1 #
? belonged to a secret oredr, and a
that the members of the order had m
taken a vow to avenge his death. _ In
.Mounted on a pony and riding his ai
. old army saddle, he spent his time d
wandering about aimlessly enough, yc
? now and again coming to town, but oi
y generally suspicious and keeping to ai
himself. Judge Sturgis, one of Conj
cordia's pioneers, is one of the men ei
? now living in the town who knew the
strange little soldier. w
"Often enough, as I was driving hi
_ alona." he savs. "I have seen this w
.1 ' 1
Boston Corbett slip quickly off his a:
horse as he caught sight of me and 13
lie motionless in the grass, his long vi
revolver in one hand, waiting to see ti
what was coming. He never made g<
any attempt to hurt mo, or, indeed, d
to hurt any one, but he was always h
s wary.
s "He was a strange, solitary fellow, p
- and he had not been on his claim long p
v before he succeeded in quarreling v
^ with a number of chaps who were in a
- the habit of riding across his place, tl
- They meant no harm, but Boston had ei
the curious, precise English notion of lc
a property rights, and he warned them a
a not to set foot on his claim. One t(
'liinor larl + onntliov finnllv tllPV
' J UHXI5 1 ^ V4 L yj MUWiiVi , Ki* vt v..^t
a had him arrested, charged with N
>' j threatening to kill them. That court d
s room scene was the sort a man re- ei
e members. n
"There was Boston Corbett, a little, c<
s slender, dark-eyed chap, his hair n
n hanging down long behind, sitting a
j there quietly, while those fellows S
I
)ld how he had threatened to shoot ^
lem. Suddenly he jumped up, whipPi
ed out his army revolver and began
ointing it at one man after another.
" 'That's a lie, a lie, a lie,' he
drilled. 'I'll shoot any man who
avs such things about me.'
ke
"I can tell you there was scatterlg.
Most of the town had come in er
> listen to the hearing, for Boston as
orbett was a notorious chap. They ga
rampled each other getting to the
oors and windows. One old attorn- m'
y, who was crippled up with rheuclU
latism and knew he couldn't make
Cc
rnch showing in a run, crawled uner
a small table, and it was with
0Q
ifficulty that we got him out.
. _ . dII
But Boston dian t ?noot, and ^
othing was done to him either. They
fr<
uieted him down and talked to him,
at
nd he went back to his hillside
igthy, the cabin and the pony.
"Of course we realized before long
be chap was crazy. He would go
long quietlv enough and then break
ca.
ut in some new and unexpected way.
remember, for instance, the time ^
udge Dan Brown, of the probate .
ourt, got up a scheme to have Boston m
ive a lecture on his life and his killig
of J. Wilkes Booth.' Here was ^
;oston, a celebrity who had been livgr
ig right in our own country and nour
odv had thought to capitalize him.
er
"The first lecture, they agreed was
c6
d be in Concordia, and I think every
w
ne in town must have bought a tickt.
At any rate the Presbyterian
hurch, the biggest building in town,
*as crowded full when the night of
he lecture came, and the people
'ere standing in the doors and winows.
Judge Brown got up and in:oduced
his protege?the famous
ioston Corbett, the man who had |
illed Lincoln's slayer, and who ^
ould now give his own story of just
ow it happened. ..
til
"And then Boston stood up, his
>ng hair brushed and oiled and pulld
back from his forehead, and
tn
lunched into his speech?or sermon,
ather. For he told never a word
pr
bout himself, never a word about
te
filkes Booth or the war, or anything ..
tn
Ise he was advertised to speak upon.
[e talked religion to 'em, shouting,
anting, street preacher religion, ^
lepent and ye shall be saved!' .
"Dan Brown was so mad he could ,.
lis
ave wept or beaten Corbett. but he
co
id neither. He talked to him quiet- ^
r and gently, and finally they agreed,
5" wait awhile and then he would
jcture again?ithis time out of ^
)wn. ,
pi'
"So Judge Brown took his notable
own to Junction City, advertised, 6C
>ld tickets?and Boston did the same
ling over again. That was the last ce
me he ever appeared on the lecture
latform. jir
"He kept on living here for a num- in
er of years; the same sort of a rec- pu
rd of wild eccentricity. He rode
nd shot, and he was a wonderful gt
lot. I have seen him bring down a to
arn swallow with his revolver, or to
ne of these circling prairie birds at
lat we call 'bullbats,' and people ag
round Concordia had a wholesome qq
sspect for his shooting talents, yr
very now and then he would make
ne of his wild, foolish gun plays
ere in town, but he never shot any
tie and everybody understood he was Ju
ot accountable, so nobody tried to of
loot him. ' tu
"A good many folks were friendly
ith him, and finally one of our local ed
epublican politicians got him a job th
5 door-keeper at the legislature in pl(
opeka." co
That appointment took Boston Cor- tu
ett away from Concordia perman- op
titly. For one day in February,
8S7, he appeared at the capitol with J01
drawn revolver, shouting that he ln
leant to kill the speaker of the tu
ouse. Doorkeepers and sergeants- se<
t-arms fled; legislators scurried
own the corridors like frightened p*(
ickrabbits, Corbett caught up with th"
foj
ne man who resembled the speaker
tid shouted to him:
po
"You can discharge me, Mr. Speakr,
but you can't scare me." an
The legislator assured him that he n
asn't the speaker and Corbett let ^
GJ y
im go. Finally the crazy doorkeeper
as captured by Topeka policemen
nd was sent to an asylum in Topeka.
:e stayed there a little more than a re
ear and seemed to be improving dis- Qt
nctly; his whole bearing was so .
entle that he was allowed the free- ?
Pd
om of the grounds, along with the G,
armless patients. or.
cllJ
One morning, while the guard was
Ld
aying no special attentian, he drop- he
ed out of line to pick a flower. A an
isitor had ridden out to the asylum
\N c
nd his pony was tied near one of
le gates. Corbett untied it, clamber- lei
d up and was away down the road, er
>st in a cloud of dust. A few attend- ha
nts rode after him, but they were Cc
)o late. SI
A week later a letter from a man in ha
'eodsha, who had known Corbett ot
uring the war and who had repeat- as
dly protested against his imprison- ca
lent, told how the prisoner had on

1ILLIOX BALES FOR 15 CENTS.
an to Hold Enough Cotton Out of <
Market to Fix Price.
Pledging the cotton crop for the
rpose or holding it out of the mar- i
t is part of the plan which South- g
n growers are diligently pursuing i
a means of securing what they re- (
rd as a fairer price for the pro- j
ic^s of their industry. Reports c
ade at Dallas, Tex., to the Conven- c
m recently held there under the i
spices of the United States Cotton t
>rporation state that workers, act- j
g as solicitors and actively engagthroughout
the cotton region to 1
edge not less than 500,000 bales by ?
e middle of September. Reports i
Dm these so-called "contract men" a
the above gathering claimed that I
is movement should have no dif- \
:ulty in securing the pledges to i
>ld 1,000,000 bales of cotton out of i
e market as a result of the season's
mpaign. i
A speaker at this Convention said ?
at there were 3,000,000 men rais- ^
g cotton whose families labor dur- i
g long hours denying themselves 1
a and elmnlo on^nvrnAntfl 1
life because the commodity they i
ow is valued by others than the i
oducer. A fair price for the farm- 1
, with the middleman eliminated,
ems to be the end in view. Judge '
illiam F. Robertson, in speaking i
the Assembly, containing many ]
icials of the Farmers' Union, said: 1
^he plan of handling the cotton in <
arket is antiquated, and the time (
is come for a change. The corpora- 1
)n has come as the modern method i
marketing. The system has no 1
ore right to exist than the gaming
houses that have been driven ;
om every law-abiding community. ;
le present method of dealing witl} s
is great product of the South i
rough exchanges managed and con- 1
Dlled by men who know nothing of c
is staple or its multiplied uses, <
rther than to combine and fix the (
ice and control the crop; is no betr
than gambling in the other ways ]
at are condemned by law." <
In this plan, on pledging the farm- s
's cotton each solicitpr is paid 10 <
nts for each bale he pledges. The i
rmers put up $1 for each bale he s
its with the contract man or the 1
rporation. Cash it to be paid for ]
ree-fourths of the price agreed up- <
i. . <
At the present price of cotton of 1
! 1-2 cents for spot, the farmer <
edging his products would get 9.37
2 cents in cash and 5.62 1-2 in 1
ript bearing 6 per cent. Special ef- ?
rt is to be made to insure the sue- <
ss of the plan in Texas this season, t
Presiden George D. Wadley, of Bo- i
lgbroke, Ga., is reported as stat- i
g that European financiers have ]
;t up $27,000,000 to be user for the i
tying of cotton by the Southern t
ates Cotton Corporation, the money
be available as fast as needed, and i
be increased as soon as the corpor- 1
ion shows that it can fulfill its <
reement to supply the first 500,- <

Abraham an Inventor. l
The University of Pennsylvania has ,
st discovered that it owns a picture
a plow invented by Abraham, cen- j

While plows undoubtedly were us- ?
before the time of this invention, T

those days. The aparatus had a ?
belike attachment into which the t

ELEPHANT BUTTE DAM. <
.Greatest Irrigation Project in the
World on the Rio Grande.
Lest we forget it is necessary once
n a while to repeat that the United ]
States government is building at Ele-: J
>hant Butte, X. M., on the Rio <
Irande, the greatest irrigation pro- :
ect in the world. The Assuan dam ]
>n the Nile, in Egypt, it not to be 1
:ompared with it. It is to cost $10,-; ]
300,000, and vast territory both in ! <
he United States and in Mexico will <
jet the waters for irrigation. 1
Five times bigger than the Mills 1
juilding at New York, 100 feet high- <
?r and with a storage capacity which <
would cover the state of Delaware 1
vith two feet of water, was Project <
Engineer L. M. Lawson's comparative i
Dicture of the Elephant Butte dam. t
vhich he gave at the chamber of com- '
Tierce luncheon last week.
Mr. Lawson said the dam would i
Jorm a lake fortv-one miles long and 1
six miles wide, and the main canal
would be one of the largest in the i
world. He said that the worK was i
?eing done as rapidly and economical- i
j as possible, and that the founda- '
:ion would be completed within a
:ew days, when the dam proper would 1
ie started. <
Under date of Elephant Butte, E. i
H. Baldwin, consulting engineer, <
writes as follows: During the latter
Dart of April the grab buckets which lad
been excavating about 1,200 :
;ubic yards of sand and gravel per i
iav on the dam site, were removed J
:rom cableways and skips substituted :
n order to help out the derricks, ?
which were handling bowlders and
loose rock on a section near the
Hume, the desire being to prepare an
area of the foundation about 200 feet
square, adjacent to the flume section, *
?or masonry, so that concreting could

Jtf g <J i Ug Ull ? line luc uaiauvc ui i.uc
jxcavation was being completed, thus .
enabling a larger force to be employ- ;
?d and consequently hasten the work.
The material excavated during the
last month has been mainlv bowld?rs,
loose rock interlaid with broken
>hale and clay, and some thin layers
)f hard sandstone, the most of which '
required blasting, but deposits near
sound bedrock had to be carefully
handled, much of it loosened with
Dicks and wedges in order to avoid
tracking the foundation. This, of
course, has been tedious work, the
volume excavated daily was small as
compared with the output when
handling sand and gravel. There ;
vas also more of this to remove than ;
ixpected, as the surface of the bed- *
drill borings, was in many places
jhat-rock, though corresponding exictly
with the location shown by diamond
drilled borings, was in many
Dlaced shattered and had to be removed
to a greater depth than an;icipated.
In several places the excavation is
iow at a depth of 80 feet below the j
owest point of the.old river bed and j
ireas of bedrock thus far exposed indicate
an excellent foundation, the '
ock dipping at such an angle as to
ifford the best possible protection '
igainst sliding and presenting a very
i
ineven suriace wnicn is very uesnible
for the same reason. With the ;
axception of a narrow strip at both ?
leel and toe of the dam, work on
vhich was hitherto not possible on <
iccount of the position of the der- i
icks and water pipe lines, this area i
s about ready for concreting but in
>rder to carry the work most econom- ?
cally no concrete will be placed until J
he above-mentioned areas are ready. .
Labor conditions have been somevhat
unsatisfactory of late, but steps
iave<behn taken to supplement the ,
;upply and a steady improvement in 1
;his respect is noticed. At the pres?nt
much hard work on the excava- (
ion preparing the bedrock ror ma- ,
ionrv, a shortage of labor effects the <
mtput much'more noticeably than
tvhen such work is being done '
by machinery. But with a large | ,
irea of bedrock uncovered in the :
leepest part of the excavation and
:oncreting practically in sight, it is
:onfidently expected that the masonry .
vill be up to the elevation of the old
iver Ded by the close of the year.?

CHARGED WITH HEINOUS CRIME. ^
S'egro Arrested at Aiken Alleged to
Have Attempted Assault on Girl.
Aiken, July 21.?Venus Wallace, a
L 5-vear-old negro, has been lodged in /
jail, charged with having made an
attempt to criminally assault a 14rear-old
white girl, a member of a
prominent Augusta family, but who
iias been visiting in Aiken for ?he
past several weeks. The attempted
issauit occurred between 7 and 8
/clock p. m. in an isolated spot on
the southern outskirts of the city
tvhere the young lady and her 9-yearDld
brother were walking. It is stated
that they met th? negro as they Jtvere
returning home. The little boy
sprang upon the negro and succeeded
in pulling him away, while the girl
screamed so loudly that the negro
wag frightened and ran.
The frightened children hastened
to Aiken and reported the outrage to
the family whose guests they were,
rhe police were called in, and so de- ' A
tailed and accurate was the descrip- M
tion given by the girl of her assail- ^
ant that Chief of Police J. E. George
had Wallace lodged in the city jail
within the period of an hour after
the perpetration of the attempt. Both
Df the children pronounced him to be
the assailant when he was forced to
confront them.
Nothing was known about the assault
until a late hour this afternoon.
The police and Sheriff Howard
managed to keep the news of the
assault a secret until a warrant was
issued. Judge W. M. Smoak, at 5
o'clock this afternoon issued the war- *
rant and the negro was lodged behind
the brick walls of the county
jail.
Reports of New County Unfounded.
Orangeburg, July 22.?Despite the
fact that there have been several reports
circulated to the effect that a
new county to be known as Edisto,
would be formed from portions of
Lexington, Aiken and Orangeburg ?"
counties, no foundations can be found
for same. Some years ago an effort
in this direction was made, but it
failed. It may be that an effort is
being made to test the sentiment of
the people in the territory affected,
in order to determine whether or not

COATED TOXOUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER. /
A Lazy Liver Needs a dose of Dodson's
Liver Tone?Guaranteed to
Take Place of Calomel.
When your doctor looks to see if
vour tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working properly.
A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel?there was nothing
else to give. *
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as a liver remedy. Dodson's Liver *.*
Tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless?which makes it a fine medicine
for use when your children become
bilious and constipated. But
the most remarkable feature of Dodson's
Liver Tone is the fact that The
Peoples Drug Store who sells it,
guarantees it absolutely. The druggist
will return your money without
argument if a bottle fails to give en- ?
tire staisfaction.
Price, 50 cents. We suggest that
5-ou get a bottle today and have it
ready for the next member of your
family whose liver goes wrong.

CAN YODJOUBT IT? "
When the Proof Can Be So Easlly'lnvestigated.
When so many grateful citizens of
Bamberg testify to benefit derived
from Doan's Kidney -Pills, can you
doubt the evidence? The proof is not
far .away?it is almost at your door.
Read what a resident of Bamberg
;avs about Doan's Kidney Pills. Can
pou demand more convincing testinony?
J. J. Smoak, Bridge St., Bamberg,
3. C., says: "I have used Doan's Kidley
Pills which I procured at the
People's Drag Co., and can strongly
ecommend them. I took this remedy
.'or backache and other symptoms of >
Sidney complaint and found it to be
lust as represented. You may pubish
my endorsement."
If your back aches?if your kidneys
mother you, don't simply ask for a kidley
remedy?ask distinctly for Doan's
Sidney Pills the same that Mr.
Smoak had?the remedy backed by
home testimony, ooc an stores, r ustw ?
