ACCIDENT.

Last evening an accident occurred in the
vicinity of Captain Keohlers residence on
Moline avenue. which came very near re-
sulting in the death of Freeda Keohler a
little girl only five years old.
The little girl in company with several
playmates was playing on pile of lumber
which is being used for new building of
Mr. Cameron now in course of constrlc-
ton
While enjoying themselves the children
managed to overturn the lumber, and little
Freeda was thrown on the ground. The
boards fell upon her and at first
it was thought that she was crushed to
death. Her companions Immediately mott
fed Capt. Koehler, who FASTENED to remove
the lumber and extricate the little girl from
her perilous position. On removing the
boards the little girl was found badly
bruised but still without receiving any
broken bones or dangerous wound. She
had failed into the gutter, and scantling
falling across the hollow had prevented the
lumber from reaching her with fun effect.
The little girl was conveyed to the house
and physician summoned, who pronounc'
ed the bruises not of sereious character.
This afternoon careful examination re-
vealed the fact that the little girl had brok
en- the bone just above the knee. The frac
ture will be reduced Immediately

Sunday school, by discriminating the meth
DDS and plans of able teaching and organiza-
lions. He spoke particularly of Minnesota,
showing what work had been accomplished
IN that state within the past few years, and
thought the future was more hopeful than
had been the past
D. D. Proper, of Iowa, followed in
brief speech during which he took occas-
ion to speak of the sunday school work as
conducted in Iowa.
II. r. Chisold, of this state, also gave
his experience as a sunday school worker,
