From the Usage lutssa0a journal:
Madison Able, of Lincoln township
this county, while kindling fire in his
stove Yesterday morning, dropped dead.
Mr. Able settled in this county in 1871,
and was highly esteemed by all who
knew him. He was seventy-hve years
of age, but up to the time Of his death
was as active as young man.
From tie Clanute Democrat:
Since the last failure to enlist the
active cooperation of farmers generally
in making the display of farm products
a leading feature at our fair, there ap.
pears to be a disposition on the part OF
the officers and stock holders of the soci-
ety to drop the agricultural and horti-
cultural departments altogether and to
make future exhibitions purely horse
fairs.
From the Yates Center Ne,cs:
Last Thursday Mr.. Josiah Wilcox,
seven miles west of town, met with
severe accident, by falling from load
of hay and alighting on an iron rod-the
end rod of The wagon. The rod entered
the thigh about two inches below the
groin and penetrated the body to point
opposite the short ribs. Fortunately
no vital points were injured. and under
the skilful care of DR.. E. V. Wharton
the patient is doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.
Mr. VIM. O'Neil of this township, wa
recently severely injured by stopping n
front of mower to which fract'on'
team was attached. The horses starting
caught him on the sickle bar, badly cut
ting the muscles of one leg, and bruisins
him over the body generally.
In less than three months Congress
will again be in session. Then, if moi

this scheme in letter which Is printe<

that Utah be admitted into the Uniol
as State, and admission will be urget
; upon the ground that this prosperous
Territory is better qualified for member
