The Darlington Republican re-
ports that a little son Of Robert
Rowe, residing three miles west of
Argyle, met with a serious accident
few days ago. Mr.. Rowe was plow-
ing and his little son was riding on
the plow beam, when the plow struck
stump, throwing him to the ground
and the plow ran through his foot
and pinned him to the stump. 1t is
feared the accident will cripple the
little fellow for life.

of the recent hailstorm; "Ice was in
places piled in heaps from three to
five feet in depth, and chunks are
said to have fallen that two hands

the roofs battered, the trees barked
and stripped, aud the fields of grain
destroyed to become convinced"

THE Children's Day service at
the NJ. f. church last Sunday was
very fine. The flowers were beauti-
full, but the infant class that filled
the pulpit were more so. The diff

excellently. The essay of Miss
Lizzie Hoskin was very fine, as was
the address of the superintendent.
Rev. Alfred Charles gave fine ad-
dress on the Song of the Flowers.

a taste for a trade, let him learn it.
Don't spoil good farmer or mechan-

THRoUGH some misunderstanding
our band was not engaged for the
Dodgeville reunion. Before com
menting or criticising the exact cir
cumstances should be arrived at.
The members of the band and a
host of admirers feel hurt. The
terms for which the boys offered to
play ($6O and expenses) are reason
able beyond question, and no doubt
much less than some other bands
played for. AS to ability and merit
of our band we are confident there
is no better in this part of the state.

the re-opening services at the p. NJ.
Church on Sunday were literally
attended. Excellent sermons were
delivered by Rev. ChalIinor, of

tracts of coal lands. With the desire
and ability to extend their lines it lie YET
more natural that they should make
such extension through the section OF
Kansas to which all the nation is look

is natural because 1t is business and ex.

THE CARNIVAL.

The April Fool carnival at the Eighth
avenue rink Wednesday was attended by
an>audIence numbering over three hun
bred people. Though the crowd was
very large the best of order was preserv-
ed throughout, and the management of
the entire EVENINGS amusement was very
creditable. The grand march on
skates was followed by the dis
trlbution of prizes corresponding
to the numbers of tickets held by
those present. The committee on dis
tributIon had laborious task, but they
performed II faithfully. There was an
endless variety of packages, and the
amusement afforded by the distribution
o. them was unbounded. The package
containing the So gold piece was No.
18l, and corresponded to the ticket held
by Mr.. w. w. Hazard, of
LeaVenworth, who thus became the
fortunate possessor of the coin The
distribution OF packages required but a
short time, but the amusement incident
thereto continued through the evening.
The skating was then resumed and con-
tinued until the time for the last music,
which was q waltz, and which was the
signal for removing skates and chang
ing the character of the movement for d
time. The rink as 1t appears decorated
handsomely and brilliantly lighted. is
much improved. The excellent music
was furnished by the Knights Templar
band, which acquitted itself admira-

ARROR DAY.

HArper's Weekly: The village i'm
proVement societies in New England
and elsewhere are signs OF q spirit which
is not local, and which will have q most
beneflcent and refining effect. There
are villages in which. without q society
for the purpose, the whole population
devotes one day in the spring to trim
ming the trees and edges of the walks in
the street. Governor Martin, of Kansas,
has just issued an "Arbor-day Procla-
manon," appointing April I'd as day
for tree planting. and asking that 1t be
observed by the schools and by the COM
munity as holiday.
He says that the custom of appointing
such day now prevails In eight states
Of the Union, and adds that the people Of
Kansas began to plant trees as soon a
they began to plough, and that the stats
which the pioneers found treeless and
desert is now enriched with more thar
twenty millions of fruit trees and NOR,
than two hundred thousand acres o
forest trees, all planted by the people O
the state. The increasing foliage soften
the climate and increases the rainfall
| and makes the rural home, the church
and school ground and the Goods acre,
constantly more beautiful.
II Is q custom which may be Wisel'
adopted In every country and suburbal

ELOPERS FATE.

John E. Horn and Mrs. Phoebe Gar
rett the couple that eloped on Tuesday
March 81, and whose arrest on the next
day We announced last night, were
caught six miles east of WaverlY In
Usage county. They were bound for
Missouri. Their hopes we're blighted
by the compulsory return to this
city. They were brought before Judge
Fletcher Thursday afternoon charged
with adultery. It seems that Horn has
for long time been keeping the Gar
rett woman in his home. having induced
her TO leave her husband, and has been
passing her off TO his wife as q sister.
Mrs. Horn is q hard working
woman, and labored in q
laundry &c earn the means OF entertain
ing her liege lords SISTER" Horn sent
his wife and one child to White City,
their former home, on q visit, and took
advantage OF her absence to sell out and
depart with his mistress and two young
er children. Some of her friends tele-
graphed her, and steps were taken which
resulted as above. Mrs. Horn was
changed from grief to joy on the return
OF her little children Friday.
AS stated before, both parties pleaded
not guilty when brought before Judge
Fletcher first. Bond of $500 each
was required. Horn said he
could not give it and coolly
remarked that he could stand it to be in
Jail a day or two. Later, as the orders
for their commitment were being
made out, he asked further explans-
tion of the charge of adultery, and
remarking that he might as well tell the
truth and get out of 1t the quickest way
p Dssible, he with Characteristic GOODNESS
changed the plea to guilty" and wa
fined $50 and costs, with three months
in jail Mrs. Garrett made the SAM
plea, and was fined 800 and costs.

GRANT AND LINCOLN.

Here also to that historic log cabin came
frequently one greater thaa aIl-Lincoln, the
martyr president-he whose great, gentle
heart bore charity for all, with malice towards
none. He spent weeks altogether at the head
quarters during that fateful year. Between
him and Grant there was full understanding
and warm feeling. Grant said that in the
course of this familiar acquaintance he had
come to regard Lincoln as by far the greatest
man who had occupied the presidential chair
Eince Washington. Lincoln liked to unbur-
den his anxious soul to the general he had
chosen. In that troubled time he was urged
to remove Grant and appoint somebody who
had dash and would hasten matters. In
quaint phrase, Lincoln answered only:
''It's bad plan to swap horses N the mid
die of a river"
The pIainness Of dress OF both these historic
Americans harmonized. In February, 1865
Grant went to See Lincoln at Washington
While there he called at the capitol and paiC
his respects to the senate in session. Tina
solemn body was not q little scandalized b.
the carelesSness of his attire. So much wa
this the case that after he had gone one o
the senator's actually arose and asked tho con
sideration of the senate on the matter.
1T is evident, said this fne-spun senator
''that gross mistake has been made in ap
pointing Grant lieutenant general I tell you

Guard In my state that does not cut bigge

PREMIUM DOLLS.

The doll show at the First Methodist
church closed this Friday. Mrs. G,
P. Jones, Mrs. l. D. Peters, and Mrs. w.
N. D. Bird were chosen judges to award
premiums. The first premium, a set of
toy dishes. was awarded to the doll of
Edna Halleck. This Is q small bisque
doll with trizzed blonde hair,
large blue eyes, full rosy cheeks,
gracefully curved eyebrows and pretty
dImpled hands. 1t was dressed in
white, with blue trimming. The second
award, cup and saucer, was given to
the doll of Emily Torrington. This
was a larger doll, dressed in q
pretty pink Mother Hubbard. This
one, too, has full blue eyes, and
blonde hair. The latter is long and
waving, of the aaxen type. The style of
dress or cost of the doll were not taken
into consideration, the decision being
rendered on beauty of face alone. Both
these dolls were blondes and both have
bangs. These facts are only
significant, we presume, as long
as a brunette doll with hair q la
pompadour does not assert the potency
of that style of beauty.
