PiUsbury of Boston YANKEE IRKED A WAS FOUR MONTHS IN NICARA GUAN DUNGEONS AFTER CAP TURE IN TRENCHES. BRAVE JEW AS HIS COMRADE Young American Says He Was Con fined in a Jail Which Was Half Filled With Government Explo sives—A Colonel at 26. Boston.—Col. William P. Pittman, here visiting relatives, told how he worked a gatling gun for the Estrada forces, and lay lour months in Xica- I raguan dungeons when he was cap tured as the ragged colonel of a rag- ■ ged squad. Col. Pittman smilingly de- . dared as he looked down from his alti'ude of six feet two inches at his interviewer that he was entitled to the military prefix that is claimed by most Kentuckians and that he got it by order of the last batch of Xicara quan revolutionists that won out and have recently made Juan Estrada pro- | visional president of the republic. Col Pittman is from Cambridge. 1 Mass , and. is an electrical engineer, tie had been working on the Panama canal and had struck up a friendship with Carlos Charmorro. brother of the leader of the revolutionary farces, Gen. Eniiliana Charmorro. Salvador Charmorro. father of the General, had a store in Panama City and it was through the storekeeper, who was also a friend of the young American (a colonel at 261, that Pitt man negotiated to join a force of rev Marched for Miles. olutii nists on the Costa Rica frontier. Among the Americans who were with Pittman was Sam Drebin, "one of the gamest little Jews 1 ever saw,” the colonel said. He was captured in June while serving a gatling gun in the trenches at what he called the Hattie of Rama, not far from Blue Belds. He said the night was pitch dark when he went to another part of the trench to make an observation, leaving the gallant little Philadelphia Jew to serve the gun. Six soldiers of the Madriz army piled into the trenches and overpow ered him after one had sent a bullet through his shirt. He shouted a warning to Sam Drebin. who got i away. Mast of the revolutionists w ho had been in the trenches had ] escaped several minutes before, not relishing a hand-to-hand fight. The colonel's captors began to revile i him as a bloodthirsty "gringo." Five of them were in favor of shoot ing him immediately. The colonel was in rags, as such of the other revolutionists were that had any clothing at ah. He was marched I miles along a sandy beach, sometimes wading in water knee deep, carrying , most of the time one end of a pole in I the middle of which was a heavy box | containing silver coin to pay the Mad | riz army in that section. At the j other end of the pole was a Colombian negro. The colonel said it was very "tough going” and that when it was over and he was finally put into a narrow cell at Castillo on the San Juan river he still had a sore shoulder. The colo nel was In a had smelling and narrow oell. mostly with a Jamaican negro as ’ a cellmate. At last through the interposition of the state department, represented at Managua by the American Consul Jose de Olivares. he was decently treated and finally liberated when Madriz's party got the worst of it. Jose de Olivares supplied him with food fit to eat in the latter days of his ] iflrprisonment. There were (100 prisoners in the Ma ! nagua jail, one side of which was ■ stored with ammunition, and the com i mandant of the jail said he would ! blow up everybody when the revolu • tionists got control. The foreign eon j suls at Managua all entered protest | against the proposed explosion. The guards got away when the revolution ists' cause semed certain to triumph, and all the 600 prisoners broke their cells and escaped. Freezes Feet: Lockjaw Kills. Marion. O.—Robert Fox. aged 42 years, a wanderer, is dead of lockjaw, superinduced by freezing Lis feeL MAIL SNATCHER JERKS BRAKEMAN FROM CAB REMARKABLE ESCAPE FROM DEATH WHEN HOOKED FROM HIS ENGINE. Rawlins. Wyo.—George A. Ball, brakeman on a Union Pacific freight train, had a remarkable escape from death when he was jerked from the cab of the engine, in which he was riding, by the "snatcher" on the mail car of a flyer moving in the opposite Hooked by Mail “Snatcher.” direction. He was carried several hundred feet before he dropped. And. although the hook struck him with a force that ordinarily would have cut a man in two, he was not severely in jured. The “snatcher" caught Ball squarely in the back, jerked him out of the cab with the same deftness that it would a sack of mail and swung him against the side of the mail car. Ball fell in such a way as to be clear of the wheels. WICKED STOCKING STILETTO Woman's Dagger Carried in the Gar ter Much as the Highlander Wears His Dirk. Chicago.—A fashion note from Lon don tells us that, as woman's weapon, the hatpin is to be superseded by a stiletto held in the garter. Fashion does not date her decrees from Lon don. and we may. therefore, be per mitted to doubt the authenticity of the item. The picture shows how a stiletto is worn in the garter—a cus tom followed, perhaps, in imitation of that of the women of Lombardy during the Austrian occupation. Be ware. then, lest calf love turn to calf hate! There are several reasons why the hatpin will never give way to a stilet to held in the place mentioned. For readiness, accessibility, and cheap ness the hatpin exceeds all other weapons to woman's hand. It is un sheathed by a single upward move The Garter Stiletto. merit of the arm The stiletto—well, we decline to dwell upon the mo tions. processes, and results brought about by its owner drawing it forth. With the present hobble skirt its use is simply impossible RATTLER AVENGES ITS MATE Hunter Who Kills Snake Is Immedi ately Bitten by Second Reptile. Newburgh. N. Y—Arthur J. Serven ti of this city went to Pike county. Pennsylvania, in quest of deer. When a short distance from Eldred. while following deer tracks, he came across 1« rattlesnakes sunning themselves on a rock As he approached, the two largest started up. Sercenti shot the foremost, and in endeavoring to get away he fell. The snake which was near him at once struck his right hand, puncturing his forefinger at about the second joint Serventi realised the situation, and as soon as he could get to a safe dis tance he took his hunting knife, cut open his finger and sucked out the poison. He hired a rig. drove to El dred and had his hand treated by a physician. By this time the hand and arm had swlllen to great site. A day or two afterward, with his guide, he visited the rock, found the snakes in the sun. killed the big snake that had bitten him and captured the entire family of 14 small snake* FOR GOOD SPELLING GOLD MEDAL TO BE GIVEN TO WINNER IN FINALS.

Lincoln—The chance Tor the ''Ne braska legislature to show how it stands on the question of tariff re vision when it strikes directly at a Nebraska industry was offered in the house Monday by Ccfton of York when he presented a resolution in the form cf a memorial to the Nebraska con gressmen to vote against the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada on the ground that it provides for abolishing ; the tariff of twenty-five cents a bushel on wheat, thus placing the wheat from the cheap lands of Canada directly in competition with the Nebraska pro duct. tending to cheapen the market. The author of the resolution has been ; a miller most of his life. Glanders in Horses. Dolezal or' Saunders has a measure which seeks to provide payment for horses afflicted with glanders which the state veterinarian puts to death as a preventive of spreod of the disease, conceded to be one of the worst which afflicts domestic animals. He explains That the people in That part of his dis r trie: surrounding Cedar Bluffs are par ticularly anxious for the passage of j This law because they have felt the effect of the loss of animals by gland 1 ers. As explained by Mr. Dolezal, the ! ( disease is just as apt to attack the horses of poor men as those of wealthy farmers, and w-hen they are shot by the deputy veterinarian it leaves The owner in deplorable condition. The author of the bill argues that to ap propriate $25,000 for the payment of | these horses and mules would work i towards stamping out the dread dis \ ease, as it would be an incentive to the owner to have his animals exam ined when he has an ysuspicion that they are afflicted. He declares that now there is a tendency to hide the fact as long as possible. Capita! removal Bill. Bailey of Kearney has introduced the much-talked-of removal bill. He does not appear as the author of the measure, which is on the contrary signed by twenty-seven house mem bers. It is understood that the capi tal removal association, with head awyt^rj.. at Kearn«v. drafted the hill and had it introduced. Bailey has rather stayed in the background in handling the bill and did not care to introduce it. Hence he spent some time in securing signatures for a joint introduction of the proposition. The bill was printed in full in some of the western newspapers interested in its fate the day before it was presented in the house. Representative Bailey had the bill in his possession much of the Time before be got it in shape j to introduce. Eoost for Eastman Bill. Headed by ex-Governor Shallenber srer. thirty business men. styled the "Southwestern Nebraska Boosters.” i attended the meeting of the finance, i ways and means committee, held at the capital Monday night. The bill for which the westerners are working is known as house roll No. S. by Eastman of Franklin, a measure calling for an appropriation of $100,000 for the establishment of an agricultural school in southwestern Nebraska. Ex-Govemor Shallenberger opened for the visitors with a short talk in . which he laid particular emphasis on ; the needs of his part of the s'ate for such an institution as is asked for in the Eastman bill. Against Hypnotism. Anderson of Kearney wants to pro hibit expositions of hypnotism and animal magnetism where such exhibi tions are given for gain. He intro duced a bill which provides “that any person or persons who shall thereafter rake part in the practice, assist in. or become a subject in giving a pub lic open exhibition, or seance, or show of hypnotism, mesmerism, animal magnetism, or so-called psychical: powers for gain shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.” No Constitutional Convention. The senate spent some Time in a discussion in committee of the whole j of the bill calling for the submission j to the voters o' the state of the ques-1 tion of calling a constitutional con- ; ventioa. It was the first real show at j j oratory in which the senate has in- j 1 dulged. Several members took Two ; whacks at it each and more than an hour and a half were consumed in ; arguing the merits of the proposition. In the end the committee recommend ed the killing of the bill and on a test j vote stood IS to 14 in favor of it. El Paso—William J. Bryan will speak in Arizona on behalf of the ! state constitution to be voted on Feb ruary 9. i A Memorial BuMding. J. W.

Mr. Steinhart had copies of documents to show that the Vnited States government ex amined the location as early as 1S36 j and that tec years later the actual i construction of the fort was begun. 30TH HOUSES FACE MANY BUSY DAYS. THE END IS DRAWING NEAR Mary Important Measures Pressing For Attention Before the Fourth * of March. "Washington.—Congress worked un der high tension during the last week »nd the prospects for the remainder 3f the session do not promise many lays barren of excitement. The con gestion is such that appropriation mils are in some danger, but mem bers of experience recall conditions squally bad which were met without the necessity of extra sessions. The real difficulty in both branches seems to be that numerous matters of a political or partisan nature are being pressed for consideration be fore the close of the congress on March 4. and it is realized that many of these must fall through lack of time. The inevitable result is to make members irritable over delays and not infrequently the time-honor ed and much-vaunted courtesy be tween factions in congress has been depressed almost to the point of com plete disappearance. Most of the measures of an inflam mable character are pending in the senate, and chief among them are the Lorimer case and the resolution look ing to the election of senators by di rect vote of the people. The latter, as the result of the persistent fight made by Senator Borah, who report ed the decision from the judiciary committee under circumstances which assured a contest, was advanc ed last week to the position of the unfinished business. Senator Borah is determined that there shall be a vote on his resolu tion in time to obtain consideration by the house. He will urge senators who oppose it to make their speeches early in the week. After waiting what he believes to be a reasonable time, he says he will insist upon con tinuous consideration until a vote i3 had. The indications are that he has sufficient votes to carry out this pro .'r~tn» i * The situation is extremely interest ing. A large majority of the repub licans is opposed to the resolution, but the progressive republicans and the democrats control the situation by two or three votes. Several efforts were made by Senator Borah to have a day fixed on which to take a vote, but unanimous consent thus far has been refused. Senator Hevburn, tfie colleague of Mr. Borah, remarked dryly one day that he thought he would be ready to give such consent on March 4. which, of course, meant that he would oppose the resolution to the end. One senator could pre vent a vote on the resolution so long as he has strength to occupy the floor and three senators could con duct a successful filibuster for a week. Taft Will Welcome Governors. Boston.—The voice of President Taft will be heard by those attending the conference of New England gov ernors with members of the Massa chusetts Real Estate exchange at the Somerset hotel Tuesday, according to an announcement made by officers of the exchange. The president will not be able to be present, but arrange ments have been made whereby he will give his greetings over the long distance telephone and an attachment will be used which will enable all in the room to hear his voice. May Call Extra Session. Washington.—President Taft, it was learned, will not hesitate to call an extra session of congress for the pur pose of enacting the Canadian recip rocity treaty into law provided he can have assurances from the democrats that they will not attempt any other legislation.
