AN IOWA GRADE DARLING ,
Kate Sholly's Heroism in tbo
Boone Floods.
How She Saved Severn ! Lives in tlio
„ Northwestern Railway
Accident.
Boone Stamford.
The eastern papers for years pai
have delighted to toll of Iho heroisn
of n young girl on the coast of Kov
England , the diughtor ot ft light
house-keeper , who has saved many
lives from death by drowning throng ! :
her coolness niul fearlessness as wel
as by her skill as a water nymph ,
The fame of Grace Darling ia world
wide , mid distance lends onchantmonl
to the talcs of her exploits nnd the re
citftl of her graces of person. Then
never yet was human deed performed
butsomo
UNKNOWN HEIIO OR HKIIOINK
in our own midst was equally capable
of the same , given the opportunity.
Once in n whiln such occasion ia pre
sented nnd then wo find the cjuiot ,
prosaic mnn , the least noted and least
suspected for pure , unselfish acla and
and noble cflbrts , the dcmuro maiden
pursuing her unnoted way in the
world , intent only on her little loves
or the pursuits of n modest and cir
cumscribed line of life , burst sudden
ly into public view through some deed
of startling endeavor or great self
sacrifice , n floratius at the bridge , r
Joan of Arc.
When the wind and rain wns pour
ing in torronta down the canyon
through which the railway track from
hero to Jfoingona runs , on Wcdncs
day night of lost week ,
A YOUXO OIIIL or 14 ou 15
stood nt her window nt midnight , near
the low or end of the ravine , watching
the slow forward creeping of the pilot
engine-sent out to explore the condi
tion of the embankments and bridges.
Suddenly , as it passed upon a well
known trcstlo , she snw it drop and its
lights disappear , nnd know there wore
human lives in danger. Hushing out
into the B orm and to the brink of the
chasm , Kittio Shelly called nt the top
of her voice , with the hope that so'iio
poor struggler in the turbid waters
might hear lier voice and bo encourag
ed by her cry. She waa heard , nnd
back from the awnying tree top , in
which precarious porch the engineer
had found another lease of lifo , came
nn answer to her cheer , many times
repented. But the swollen streams
forbade hearing the directions which
wcro shouted to the young girl , nnd
aho was loft to her own resources to
effect a rescue , which fortunately wore
not wanting. Alone nnd guided by
the flickering light of n dim lantern ,
she commenced her journey through
the tall wood to Moitigona.
A MILE AWAY ,
to summon help. She crept beneath
the swaying branches , her face brush
ed by the switching undergrowth , wet
to the waist by wading through the
little hollows , of the hillside , each
now n running brook , losing liar way
at times , though every foot of the
xouto waa a known pace under ordi
nary circumstances , nnd nt lost came
out upon the long railway bridge.

"but she did not hesitate. Across the
slippery baidgo tics , for there wore no
planks , she stopped , guided only by
the chastly flashes of the lightning ,
-while the wind blow a gale and wrap
ped her skirts about her head and
drenched her oyca with the cold spray
of the storm. Beneath her were
the waters whoso embrace was death.
Six foot had they risen in an hour ;
one false stop nnd they ,
would close over her forever.
They dashed and howled against the
piers nnd across the ice break , clam
oring for lier , and licking out their
foaming tongues and flocking the
trembling timbers with their froth.
There must have boon a Providence
which guided little Katie Sholly's foot
steps across that perilous passage in
the awful' night until the safe
ground of the western embankment
-was reached and she ilod through the
"black darkness , with streaming hair ,
and outstretched bare and gleaming
arms to the lights of the town , nnd in
the oars of vnxious men nt the depot
bllOUTKI ) THE hTOUY
of disaster nud the cry for help.
Two men went down iu that fatal
chasm , and two widows nnd two fami
lies of infant children call for the lost .
who never shall return ; but two
other men nnd two other families ,
to their dying days , have cause to
thank the good Lord that ho mndo
one woman with tliu bravo heart of
Knto Shelly. The cold , business-liko
official report will never toll it as it is ,
only when "tho accident was report
ed by the young girl and relief wns
promptly dispatched. " And when
the fatal trap in which poor Olmstoad
and Pat Donahue found their watery
gavos , is again filled up and tradic
once more is busy over the spot , the
great company will forgot the deed ,
or only remember it as an accident
which brought no suit for personal
damages against the company ,
THE STAR ROUTE.
I ' Revolutionizing tbo Postal System
!
AYashlnvton Special to the Globe-Democrat.
Postmaster General James , in his
determined efforts to reform abuses ii
the postal service , has not confmei
his attention to the vigorous suppros
aion of extravagances in the notorious
star routo. That has boon the mail
objective ppint for the time , bccausi
a reform in that direction wns tin
most crying necessity when he canv
into ofllco. A great ring had fastenoi
itself and was fattening upon the
postal department of the govern
ment. Its ramifications were coos
tensive with the country , and
its head center was located in tli
chair of the second assistant postmas
tor. Several millions of dollars were
being swallowed up , and the whole
system of postal contracts was threat
ened with the rottenness which came
of the contact with unbridled corrup
tion. ' The first duty of Mr. Jumps
was to grapple with the great evil
and thia ho did at once and fearlessly
but ho evidently docs not propose t (
stop there. The whole postoftico sys
tern , in his opinion , requires over
hauling , and this is the great work
which ho has taken in hand. Perhaps
Mr. James' reform ideas may bo better
understood by thotwowords "business
hrinciples" than by anything else.
His success with the New York office
lias emboldened him to undertake the
enforcement of a similar process in
the entire department.f One of _ his
plans involves a competitive examination
tion , the other that which has beer
several times suggested to congress
the adoption of a system similar to
that which prevails regulating admis
sion to the navnl academy nnd at West
Point. As the latter would preserve
the importance of the member of Con
gress as nn appointing power , it ii
probable it would bo more apt to re
ceive the approval of congress. It :
anticipation of n revision nntl
reconstruction of Iho prosonl
postal system of appointments
nnd securing uniformity , n general
inquiry will bo instituted as to the
present management of the most im
portant oflicoin the country. No two
of tlioso ofticcu tuo now managed alike.
The Washington ofllco has boon put
under investigation nnd n personal in
spection of the Baltimore ollico. Th
main purpose of the department is to
remove the Post Ollico from the palo
of local politics. According to Post
matter General James , n government
[ lost ofllco should bo something more
than n moro local political machine
run nt general expense. If ho sue
coeds in carrying out his idea1 ] of ro
[ orm Mr. James will have revolution
ized the postalservice before his term
expires. '
ALBION NOTES ,
The Crops Reported Booming
and Everything Lively.
ALDION , Boone Co. , July 20.
To the Editor of Tim His :
The crops and weeds together are
lust booming in Boone county , nnd it
s hard to toll , in many cases , which
will bo the biggest crop , as thia has
icon the greatest growing season wo
tavo over had in this county. The
armors iu thia county will have to
ommcnco farming less acres per man
and team , and farm them better than
hey had to when the laud wns now.
There nro great numbers in this
ounty who believe , with the editor
f Tin : BKC , that the dastardly at-
cinpt to assaasinnto President Garfield -
field , was just as much the result of
Conkhng's ' war on the president aa
was the killing of President Lincoln
ho result of the war of the rebellion.
While Conkling's resignation is looked
upon as something like the boy taking
up his marbles and going homo when
hings did not go to suit him ,
and by so doing trying to break up
ho game. Conkling may bo a friend
of the people , and < ono who is opposed
o the great moneyed , power of the
ountry , nevertheless , almost without
single exception , every Grant man ,
very U. P. man , every dead head who
ravels on a pass , is a Conkling man in
his county. An eminent writer has
aid that to the civil and political his-
orian the past alone has an existence ;
hat the present ho rarely apprehends ,
ind the future never , but by the
listorinn of science things which nro to
onio to pass during the lifetime of
enorations of men yet unborn can bo
sccrtained with as much ccitainty as
liinus which have passed and gone. I
on't believe any such thiiif. . 1 believe
hat just so sure as the historian of
cionco can , after watching the glitter-
ng course of the cratic comet in the
leavens , follow it into the infinite
opths of space far beyond the limits
f our system , until the eternal law of
gravitation commonda it to ro-
urn , predict the return of
ho glittering object to
ho place where it last was seen
hough ngos may pass before that
event takes place ; just so sure can the
political historian after reading by the
ittfit of past events the causes which
Brought about the fate of other ropub-
ics , predict . .that the days of thereat
; roat American , are numbered , and
hat in the near future , it will only
> o a phanton shadow of what it once
vas.
vas.Gray Will says it is absurd to talk
ibout there bo any danger of the
bundation of the government being
undermined , that it was buili upon
ho adamantine rock of justice and
equality to nil. The same wns said
during the agitation about slavery ,
ind that there would bo no war , but
.hero waa a right smart war after all
which shook the mighty fabric which
tad boon built at so much cost of
ilood nnd troosuro until it almost fell.
A BOONE COUNTY FAKMEU ,
OLD JIM 13 DEAD.
Tito Famous Old Hnntor anil Gutdo
on tlio Western Plains
Panes Away.
Jim Bridgor is n name familiar to
old western settlers , and the an
nouncement of his death will bo re
ceived with feelings of sadness by all
who know him. In early dnjs ho
was a noted scout , hunter and guide
on these western prairies , nncl his
name figured in moro than one ven
turesome and daring deed so common
to the plainsman in those days. Of
his death the Kansas City Mini has
the following :
James Bridgor , one of the last sur
viyors of the early mountaineers
whoso headquarters wore in this part
'
of the country , died at his residence
near Now Santa Fo in this county at
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr ,
Bridgcr had passed his seventy-sixth
birthday anniversary , that event tak
ing place in last March. His funeral
took place to-day. The remains were
interred in a little county cemetery
not far from the place in which ho
died , Mr. Bridgor was a Virginian
by birth. He had boon a scout , guide
and plainsman for about thirty
years. About sixteen years ago
while ridini' " "
a "bucking" mule ho received -
coivod injuries that permanently
disabled him. Since that time ho has
retired from active lifo and has booi
living on his , or rather children's ,
farm near Santa Fe. For throe yeari
or moro ho 1ms boon in his dotage ,
Ho once got lost within one-halt mile
of his own house. Old ngo and con
finemont to one place caused the vet
eran plainsman's vital forces to give
way with sure and rapid decline. To
use a common oxproision ho died oi
old oge. His death waa painless ,
the flame of lifo burned down to the
socket and noiselessly expired.
Ho loaves ft family of three cml
dren. nil grown. One of the daugh
ters i the wife of Mr. A. Wachsmnn ,
of Wcstport. Mr. Bridgcr had , nt
the time of his death , n claim before
congress for money duo him on ac
count of the occupation of his fort by
United States soldiers. Bridgcr sold
his fort and grounds in good faith.
For this ho received no "cash down.
The wnr came on , attention was ab
sorbed by it , nnd contfres ? did not
give a thought to making provision
for Hio payment of the poorold guide
claim. The Bridgcr family wilHhrow
off all interest if nn appropriation of
§ 10,000 for the payment of the prin
cipal is made. If it had not been for
"Old Jim , " ns ho was called , General
Fremont's threat western exploring ex
pedition would not liavo been a suc
cess. For n treat { portion of the way
Bridgor acted nsn guide.
