Sun STRoKE.-Fred Shober, butcher
in the employ of Thos. Shea, was pros
trated on Wednesday by the heat. He
had been out in the country northwest of
town for cattle, and on his return when
entering house on the outskirts of town
for drink, he staggered and fell. The
proper care was given him however, and
the next morning had almost completely
recovered from the effects of the attack.
Persons who are much in the SUN these
scorching days, should adopt the precau,
ton of wet sponge or some other pro-
lection to the head.

Don't abuse the bridge that carried you

warrant for stigmatizing as loafers the
men who have congregated on the corner

labor exchange, where farmers came to
hire their harvest help, builders to procure
laborers, &c. The men were genef3h

The Conserratios says that Cooley has
the winning cards in the Republican Con-
gressional race in this district" He has
something beside, and that is the support
of the Democratic papers of the district.
In all their representations of his success
in securing the nomination, the wish is
father to the thought. The question for
Republicans is, shall we allow these Dem.
ocratic editors to dictate to us who we
shall nominate? The Conservative may
have new light after the 9Th of August.

THE HARVEST in our county is progress
ing finely this week. The weather has
been all that could be asked and if it
shall continue favorable for two weeks
longer the bulk of the crop will be safely
gathered. We notice that some farmers
are already stacking, and some also have
commenced the threshing of this years
crop. The reports as to the quality and
yield of small grains are almost universal
ly favorable, and the probability is, that
the present crop will, on the whole, be
above the average of the past few years.
Although prices show some decline, as is
to be expected at this time of the year,
farmers are generally feeling good over
the prospects of the season.

FossLs.-The gentlemen connected
with the management of the Free Public
Library-soon to be removed to commo-
dious and pleasant quarters in one of the
new buildings-are DESTROYS of gathering
together the materials for a geological and
neurological cabinet, to which may be
added constantly such specimens of fos-
sils, shells, ores, curiosities, &c, as may
be procurable, and which in time shall
grow to be pride and credit to the insti-
tuition.
In furtherance of the project they re-
quest us to ask our readers to save and
forward to the Library such specimens of
curious stones and other interesting for
nations of nature that they may come
, across; and we would add the suggestion
on our own motion, that those of our
citizens who have private cabinets, spare
portion of their contents to the forma
ton of the public cabinet. AS is well
known, the vicinity of our city is richer in
fossils of the Devonian period, than any
other locality in the State, and doubtless
little care ON the part of those who may
pick up curious stones, to save them anC
deposit them in the Library, will soor
make respectable showing in this de
partment of the cabinet.

THE TUMBL1Na ROD TERRoR.-Thc
days are approaching when the hum Of
the threshing machine will be heard in
the land, and the readers of the news
papers will doubtless be Mortified by the
usual chapter Of accidents, deaths and
maimings, resulting from carelessness in
neglecting to box tumbling rods. That
these dreadful accidents may be few, or
altogether omitted among the readers Of
the Bulletin, we call attention to the
following item of law from the Statutes
of Iowa:
Sec. 1904. If any person running a
threshing machine in this State without
having two lengths of tumbling rods next
the machine, together with the knuckles
or points and jacks of the tumbling rods
safely boxed and secured while the ma
chine is running, he shall be deemed
guilty or misdemeanor, and be punish
ed by fine of not less than ten nor more
than fifty dollars for every or part of q
day he shall violate this section; and an
action may be maintained for services
rendered by or with any such threshing
machine for the benefit of the school fund.

| ACCIDENTs.-We eXtrac ct the following
chapter of accidents from the Jcsup YIN
dictator of last week:
Last Saturday son of VIM. Walker,
eight or nine years old, while playing with
a sucking colt at his home three miles
northwest of town, was kicked on the
right cheek and the fleshy part was torn
open to the bone.
On the same day, George Lloyd, a young
man 1S or 20 years of age, was at work
with moving machine, on his fathers
farm in Barclay township, Blackhawk
county, when, running on to a pile of
stones suddenly, he lost his balance and
rolled down in front of the cutter bar
His right arm was considerably mangled
and cut to the bone His little brother who
was sitting on the seat with him was unin-
jured. DR.. Fisk was called upon promptly
dressed the wounds and left his patient in
a comfortable condition.
d. w. Hovey, while drilling well on.
the farm of David Stevenson, northwest
of town, came near meeting with serious
accident. He was standing ON scaffold-
ing about twenty-five feet down in a fifty
two foot well, when stone weighing
about one hundred pounds came down,
grazing his shoulder and striking him on
the knee and foot of one leg. The falling
of the stone was accidental but was quite
o narrow escape.
