The Democrats wisely made few promises to the people, but ihuy did did promise strict economy not niggardliness, but the strictest economy consistent witu good gov ernment." -. A Chicago Bridge Jumper's Daring Leap. Chicago Dispatch, 29th. Harry Harmon, a bridge lumper. plunged from the top of a six story ouuomg into tne unicago river this afternoon. Pedestrians crossing Rush street bridge at 1 o'clock saw a man walk to th? edge of a plank extended from the roof of a building on Iiver street and deliberately fall oackwara toward the water. The feat was performed priya'ely to set tle a wager. J The man fell almost perpendicu larly from the plank: It seemed he would strike the dock and becrush- ed. The spectators stood speechless, but the diver fell safely.. A few seconds later he was hauled to the landing by means of a rope. Harmon was slightly rniured by the- fall. Small pieces of ice par tially submerged struck his face when! the water closed over him, and cut a deep gash under his right eya. How's This!
