We regret to learn that the amiable wife
of G.. N. Udell the editor of the Indianola
Independent, is sick beyond hope Of recov-
cry. We remember her as one of the agreet
able ladies who took part in the late edito~
rial excursion, on which occasion she was
in excellent health and spirits. She was
attacked at Council Bluffs just as the party
were about to separate. We deeply sympa-
thize with Bro. Udell in his afflic:ion.

The TEMPERANCE MovEMENT.-Consd-
cradle activity is being shown in several
townships in organizing to secure the sue
cess at the ensuing election OF the PROPOSE
ton to prohibi, the sale OF wine and beer in
Buchanan county. The movement has no
practical or party significance; it is not
started to make or mar the chances of any
candidate for office, and we are glad to
learn that Democrats and Republicans alike
are giving it their earnest support.
Our last issue contained the announce
ment of the organization in Byron. We
earn that an enthusiastic meeting was held
in Madison few days since and another is
called for Hazleton, to be held in the school
house in the village, on Saturday OF next
week. Let this good work 60 on and the
friends Of temperance and morality in other
townships follow the example thus set. A
determined effort now will rid the commu-
nifty of beer saloons, the masks behind
which every vile and deadly drink in the
list Of spiri,uous liquors is sold.

SERIOUS AcclpGNT-We ere Informed

in the upper part of town, was severely, and
rs was at first thought, fatally burned on
Thursday. She was washing in shed at
tached to the house, when in passing the
store her clothes came in contact with The
fire. and in an instant she was enveloped in
flames. She rushed into the house. but
fearful that she might communicate the
flames to the interior flew again to the open
air, where the breeze added Gerceness to
the flames. Her sister who had left the
house to get pail Of water came up at this
moment and dashed it over Mrs. Mcbride.
But her clothes were almost entirely con-
suned, aud she was terribly burned about
the body and limbs. The physicians at first
pronou cel her recovery impossible, but
we learn since that some hopes are enter
tanned that she may survive.

fact that printers ink is heavy, sticky

causing the murky liquid to run fur
