A very sad accident happened on the

was a heavy barn aoor that was off tile

A warrant was issued last Friday and
placed IN The hands Of our deputy sheriff
for the arrest Of one Kearney for the
stealing Of money from Mr. Shaver, one
OF our townsmen. The matter was kept
as quiet as possible while the sheriff was
hunting for evidence that would con-
Wet before making the arrest. He
watched his man till he retired Tor the
might, and then went home thinking he
would catch him as he left town the
next morning. But fearing lest Kear-
ney might escape i'll the night and lie
lose his fee, the worthy justice issued a
second warrant and placed it in the
hands of special, gathered crowd
and went to the resting place of Kear'
ney and placed him under arrest. A

hurrah made, much to the annoyance
r Of Main streeters who were aroused

The papers are lifting up their voices
against the canine race. Whenever the season
of the dog star draws nigh, there is a general
howl about the dog, when, the fact is, as sta
tistics prove, there is no more rdbes Gamma
during "dog days" than there is in any other
season of the year. The fact is, this war of
determination Of vile and worthless ours
should never be intermitted. At no season of
the year should dog be allowed to run at
large without being muzzled The bite Of a
dog is just as dangerous in winter as in the
dog days" of summer.

The great clearing out sale at H. j. Gillen's

hot season sales have been much larger than
could reasonably have been expected. The
fact is, this great summer stock Is selling q

A large line Of remnants are now offered in
all lines of goods. These are placed on the
remnant counter and are offered at nominal

this counter now.

Tie Flats.

That portion of the city in the northern
part of town called the "hats," is fast acquir-
ing for itself an unenviabe notoriety. The
disgraceful proceedings on the Fourth have
not had the effect of making it see the errors
of its ways, but seemingly to promote more
disturbances This is unquestionably due to
the timidity of the authorities in being SO
lenient with the, law breakers of that section
that they have become law unto them
selves. Sunday, Martin Murphy, a fourteen
year-oId boy, in a quarrel with Edward Me-
Carr, aged 20 years, drew jack-knife and
very severely cut the latter in the leg. The
case had to be continued to next Wednesday
on account of McGarr's injuries. The same
day party of the toughs of that locality
boarded the little steamer Twilight for La
Sale, and got full of whisky down there.
That the Sabbath should be further desecra-
ted by fighting Is not to be wondered at. The
crowd coming back fought all the way home
among themselves, but they were so drunk
that nothing further than kicks, bruises and
black eyes and cut heals happened to the
gang. Tuesday afternoon the FLATS" was
the scene Of three or four more disgraceful
occurrences. 1t seems that but little atten-
ton is paid to the police in that locality, and
that it is not an infrequent occurrence for the
brass -buttoned cops to be openly detied. 1t
is high time that the force in that locality be
increased. 1t is the portion of the city where
mostly all the disturbances, fights and brawls
originate, and two policemen should be sta
toned there day and night. The respectable
portion of the inhabitants Of North Ottawa
have rights which cannot be ignored, and
they need sufficient protection for life and
property

June 80, for La Sale county: The condition
of corn is not up to the average for July l
The stand is very uneven, but Is free from
weeds. good rain is needed. Sorghum
cane is doing well. Winter wheat will be
harvested fully ten days later than usual. The
prospect of an average yield per acre is not
good. Winter rye and spring wheat will make
nearly an average crop. Oats are not looking
as well as usual for July l. Flax is doing
well. Irish and sweet potatoes are making
good growth. Meadows and pastures are not
up to the average in condition for this date.
Small fruits and berries have yielded well.
The wool clip is not as large as that of last
season. The improvement of the breeds of
farm animals and the drainage Of the low
lands of this county is meeting with increased
