A CRUSHED LIMB.
James Harvey L0oseS q Leg at the
Depot Sunday Afternoon.

Yesterday afternoon as the down
freight was passing the depot James
Harvey, who desired to go to Mlllard,
attempted to get aboard. He missed
his hold on the ladder of freight car
and was thrown to the ground between
the platform and the track. As he fell
his left leg and right foot were thrown
across the track and the trucks
passed over both. The left leg was
crused at the ankle. and the toes on the
right foot badly pinched. He was taken
up and carried to the hotel opposite
An examination by physicians showed
that amputatlon would he necessary
and about eleven o'clock last nigh; that
operation was performed.
James Harvey the victim Of the ac-
dent is a young man Is or 20 years of
age and lives at Mr.. Gilmore's near Mil
lard, to whom he is related, we believe.
The operation last night was per-
formed by DR.. F. VI. Nickel assisted by
Drs. Coe, Grove and Stone. The leg
was taken off below the knee about half
way between the knee and the ankle.
The patient bore the operation well and
seem to be in favorable condition this
morning.

Crop Prospects.

We took little trip down he coun-
try yesterday and noted the conditions
of the crops on the read A large por-
ton of corn is small and wedy. and
it will take late fall and extra condi.
tons to bring 1t up even to half crop.
Occasionally we struck a piece that
looked clean, healthy and promising.
There is a large amount of oats al
most ready, for havesting and it Is per-
haps the best average crop of the kind
ever made in the county. Meadows also
look fine and many farmers are busy
making hay.

Harvest field.

at can't vote" but it can cut, bin,
and deliver oats and wheat in a wa
that looks almost thurman" We meal
the Walter A. Wood Irvine binder, on,
of which we Witnessed in practica
operation on the farm of Mr.. Jos. Wen
ger & Bros. in Petfts township Tuesday
The gram was cut and gathered VI
into bundles and bound. without leav
ing straw on the ground. or the vast
ing of pint Of grain to the acre. We
are not experts IN agricultural mach
inery but we fail to see how any could
do better, faster or cleaner work. Some
ofthe distinguishing features claimed by
the friends of the Walter A. Wood
Twine- Binder are:
That the sheaveS are automatically
delivered of uniform size and their size
can be regulated without stoppage by
the driver.
The grain is straitened and shaped
into compact bundles and delivered
firmly tied without waste.
The machinery OF the binder is above
the grain and the whole is under cover
so that the gram is net shattered or
blown by the wind.
The arrangement is such that only
such parts as are actually required,
are IN motion. the packing apparatus
stopping when the sheaf is being bound
and rice rerSd so that less power Is re-
quired.
The whole is light running and easily
handled, needs but little attention and
does its work clearly, rapidly and with
out tedious stoppages or adjustments.
Messrs. W. J. Wilkes & Co., Of this
place are agents, and they feel conf
dent that the success OF the machines
they have already introduced this year
will cause pig demand the coming

Farmers are invited to visit and in
vestigate the working of these ma
chimes in practical operation IN the

We take pleasure in presenting the
name of another candidate for sheriff
this week in the person of Mr.. John
SHIRLEY Jr, Of Morrow township. Mr..
SHIRLEY is live, wide awake, and thor.
oughly competent man, and has always
been an active republican. He is the
present republican committeeman for
Morrow township. We believe it is
best for the party there should be more
than one candidate before the primary
for it gives voters an opportunity &c
make choice which they could not
otherwise have. Mr.. SHIRLEY repre-
sents the younger element in the repub-
lican party. an element which must
soon or later come to the front, as time
passes, and the old veterans pass of.
If nominated he will make square
race, and if elected competent and
effective officer.

his life was firm believer in the relig-
