FRANK A. CURrICE, of Belvidere,
Boon county, has been afflicted with
glanders for a long time, and his
case has been attracting the atten
tion of the State Board of Health
and others. DIR. N. II. Paaren, State
Veterinarian, went to Curtice's farm
"a few weeks ago, to attend to some
cases of glanders that had broken
out among the farmers horses, and
hearing that Curtice was sick, the
veterinary examined him, and after
consultation with the family ply
sician, who had been using fever
remedies, the latter was induced to
change the treatment for a time in
order to determine certainly Vheth-
er Curtice had the dread disorder.
In the course OF few days the fam
lily physician reported the effect to
Dir. Paaren, and after again exam.
ining the case that gentleman at
once notified Dr. Rauch, of the
State Board of Health, and the en-
TIRE lamliy nave now Deen paced
under strict quarantine. The
service of the legal notice to this
effect by the supervisor of the town
ship was the first the Curtioe family
knew Of the terrible afiliction that
had fallen upon its head, as DR..
Paaren had thought best not to give
any explanation of his two visits.
The Doctor is of the opinion that
Curtice's case will take chronic
form, and that his death from this
disgusting disease--almost worse
than leprosy--is simply n question
of time. MIR, Curtis contracted the
disease from sick horse GaieRa

day inviting me to become a member

initiation fec. have received similar
circulars in the course of my life, but
never have found any quite so pecu-
liar as this, issued as it was by no less
remarkable body than ''thc society
for the al!eyiation of human misery and
for the qualification of the original caus-
es of those ills of mankind which are
directly traceable to the unhygicnic
rules of fashion and especially to tho
pernicious habit OF wearing suspenders
with straps crossed at the back. This
precious title is followed by a recitation
of some of the reasons for the abolition
of suspendors. 1t is gravely alleged
that the habit of wearing any suspen-
ders at all is contrary to all the teach
ings of antiquity and the experience of
ages, Adam in his palmiest or most
hg-leafy days wore no suSpenders, and
one may search the history of all time
in vain to find q hero or martyr rush
ing TO n glorious doom incumbored with
those useless and "eileminate straps"
And SO it goes on at some length, only
TO close with startling scientific state

ders, it says, "a piece of brass or
other metal is fastened to add greater

This bit of metal when brought IL op-

On Thursday night at about elev-
en- o'clock, Miss Fannie Sampson,
daughter of Michael Sampson, peace
fully passed away. She had taken a
severe cold sometime during the
winter, which settling on the lungs
proved fatal. Three times during
the past few years death mas invaded
the family of Mr. Sampson, and has
each time taken one of its youthful
members.
Miss Fannie was an amiable young
lady just budding into womanhood,
being scarcely twenty years of age.
1t is sad indeed to see one so youth
ful and full of hope consigned to
the grave, still she left every assur-
ance that death had no sting for her,
and that she was entering a better

can never come.

Ford Rows's Hand Smashed.


TnE following account of painful
accident is taken from the Rockford
Register, dated March 10Th. Ford
Rowe, the victim and sufferer, was
born and reared in this city, and will
be remembered by large number:
Yesterday afternoon shortly
after o'clock, at Sprague & Co.'s
laundry, Mr.. Ford Rowe was made
the victim of terribly painful acci-
dent. The young man was about to
start up collar ironing machine,
when his hand was caught between
the two big iron rollers, and the
whole member fed between them up
to the wrist. The upper roller of
the machine is usually quite hot,
jet OF burning gas being blown upon
It's whole length all the time that IL.
is in use. AS good fortune would
have it, this gas had just been light
ed when Rowe commenced work,
and consequently the ironing surface
was not hot. Had it been at its
usual temperature the young mans
hand would have been cooked brown.
Although suffering terrible pain
the injured man did not lose his
presence Of mind. lie turned off
the gas and quietly called for aid.
The employees of the laundry at
tempted to turn the rollers backward
aud by that means work the crushed
hand from its uncomfortable posi-
ton. The pain was too great, how
ever, and Ford directed the boys to
unscrew the four bolts that held the
upper roller in position. That was
done with all possible speed and the
roller lifted from It's position.
When the hand was revealed to
view it presented a sickening appear
ance. Blood poured from the
crushed flesh. The back of the
wrist was bruised and swollen up
badly. The worst injury was a ter
rible tear or laceration of the flesh
of the palm of the hama. This ex
tended from the tip Of the left thumb
to the back of the hand running the
length of the thumb, over the ball of
the same and backward The flesh
gaped open frightfully and from
the laeerated blood vessels blood
poured profusely. The sickening
looking member had evidently been
crushed terribly. AT first it was
feared that the bone had been
crushed by the mangling forco of
the rollers, aud the horror-stricken
attaches expected that an amputation
would he necessary. Rowe walked
up to DIR McAffee's office, and tho
weak from loss of blood and sick at
the stomach, he sat down and with
out anesthetics held the injured
hand while the doctor sewed up the
seven inch cash. He found that no
bones were broken, aud as far as
can be learned the young man will
not lose the use Of any of his fingers
from stiffness. The injary will
prove very painful one, however,
and deprive the patient of the use
of the member for some time To come.
LArER-This Thursday morning
Mr.. Ed. Devlin, guardian, received
a telegram that Ford was in a crit
cal condition, and he took the noon
train for Rockford to ascertain the
worst

Jones has proven himself one of the
best probate judges the county ever

been sustained in higher courts al

all that is required to justify voters
in balloting for him on election day.

to expect it, the extent of it, and
