MIGHT HAVE BEEN FATAL. Miss
Mabel Decker, daughter of Depot Agent
Decker. was passing out through the
door, one day last week, with broken,
wedge-shaped pane of glass in her
hand, when the screen door was blown
shut, striking the blunt end of the glass
and driving the point into her side near
the hip to depth of one and one-half
inches. The wound soon healed under
the care of doctor and she is able to
be out again.

week to make arrangements to open a

the standard works in sets at exceed
ingly low prices. He will also keep in
stock the latest ideas in stationary.
Such store is needed here and will do
well

A GREAT deal has been said about the
outrageous brands and blotohes which
are used by cattle men, but 1t has been
extremely difficult to find any better
method. The leather men and tanners
all over the country generally have
"resoluted" on the subject, but to no
definite purpose, which leads the st.
Louis GlObe-Democrut to say: III the
statements of the wholesale leather
dealers are to be credited, the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails might prohtably employ some OF
Its spare time In looking into the subject
of cattle branding. The leather men
say that the present method Of branding,
together with the size Of the brands en-
ployed, causes a loss in the hides of
about S20J00OO per annum. The as
tonlshing total might be saved, and a
great deal of suffering by the animals in
undergoing the process be prevented, by
the adoption Of some other plan of mark
ing the cattle. Unfortunately, however,
In this as in many other things, it
is very much easier to find fault
than 10 suggest remedy. Marking the
cattle with paint has been tried, but the
trouble Of its frequent renewal makes it
utterly inefficient, while many other
plans have, from one cause or another,
failed in turn, while an element ofhumoI
is added to the case by the suggestion
of a leather dealer that small metal tags
bearing the name OF the owner, be
| placed in the ears Of the cattle after the
fashion OF earrings. This plan might
answer If the plains cattle were as do.
