About 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Mrs. n. j. Alderman, a lady
81 years of age, met with a violent
death at McGhee's Chapel, about sew
en- miles southwest of this city on her
way to her home at Ionia City. She
was riding in farm wagon, accompan-
ed by lady friend and several small
children. the team being driven by a
small boy. When at the point NAM
e6the horses became frightened at a
piece of paper in the road, and start
ed of at furious rate Of speed, the
boy being unable to control them.
Mrs. Alderman, thoroughly terrified,
attempted to jump from the wagon.
She caught her arm in the
brake rod and was dragged.
a distance of a quarter
of a mile. When opposite IL : resi-
dence of Mr.. Henry Hill, the fright
ened horses were checked and Mrs.
Alderman was picked up and con-
veyed into the house in dying con-

few minutes after entering the house.
The Lady accompanying Mrs. Al

not so, and he jOarneyed to Denver,

The climate of Colorado produced
only Ill effects, also, and on the advice
lof his physician he returned to Mis-

was May 4th when Free arrived In

tertsinsd the belief that he would
live a week. He occasionally
made his appearance on the

leave his bed. He receives the best

supplied by his numerous friends,

MACPIN'S MISFORTUNE.
An EmplOye of the Farmers
Mills Meets With a Serious
and Almost Fatal Accident.

Yesterday morning Bias Maupin,
one OF the employees at Zimmerman &
Harters Farmers mills, on West Main
street. met with a painful and we'll
nigh fatal accident. He was engage d
in unloading car Of coal, and it was
found necessary to drop the car down
a short distance on the side track at a
convenient place to unload. The car
was accordingly started, but the brake
being out of order, Maupin being I'M
able to stop the car at the desired
point, resorted to a crow bar, but
while attempting to stop the car he
missed his footing and fell. He was
thrown across the track and
only the slow rate of speed at which
the car was moving prevented him
from being horribly mangled. As it
was, the crowbar fell across his right
leg and was run over BY one of the
wheels ofthe cars. pinning the unfortu-
nate man TO the track and badly lac
Grating and bruising his leg. The left
leg also came in contact with one of the
wheels, but the car was moving 50
slowly that no serious damage was
done, the obstruction bringing the car
to stop.
Mr.. Maupin, who is a nephew by
marriage of Mr.. Harter, of the firm
of Zimmerman & Harter. was remov-
ed to his home and medical aid sum-
moned. He will probably be confn-
ed to his room for some days to come.

The Best Cattle Country.

Where is the best cattle country?
Where can cattle be handled with small
loss and sure profit and no crueltyp IN
hesitatingly | answer in the semi-arid
belt. Here are the requirements of a
perfect cattle country Grass to usually
start early in the spring, say by the
middle of April. The summers should
be warm. The winters dry, so that the
cattle will not tramp their feed in the
ground, where the hogs that follow them
can not find it. Corn should grow to
perfection. The land should be compar-
atively free from hog and cattle diseases.
Such q land is the semi-arid belt, lying
between the 9th and Doth meridians,
and extending from Dakota to Texas.
Within that area hog cholera is almost
unknown. The cattle are free from dis
ease. There is plenty of cheap corn.
Large crops of millet can be grown on
all land. Wheat is almost sure crop.
The corn stalks, wheat straw, and mil
let supply the cattle with an abundance
of roughness during the winter. All
points of the belt are convenient to mar
ket. The creeks seldom freeze over SOL
idly, and tho cattle have free access to
water. The ground seldom becomes
miry, and the cattlc's feet are always
sound. The business of raising cattle,
or of feeding them, in the semi-arid belt
is profitable. There are plenty of we'll
bred and intelligent people in the coun-
try. The country is healthful. There are
good schools in every town. Land may
be purchased on reasonable terms, but
only the bottom land in the western por-
ton of the semi-arid belt is corn land.
The best of corn land, say twenty miles
from thriving town, can be bought for
from $50 to $50 per acre. Near the
towns good bottom lands can be bought
for from $50 to $40 per acre. The up
land of the western portion of the belt
is dear at any price. The increase in
the number of cattle in the somi-nrid
belt during the five years last past has
been most remarkable. As long as
wheat sold at renumerative prices the
farmers did not pay much attention to
cattle-growing. But when the price of
wheat began to fall and the value of cat
tie to increase rapidly, they realized that
it was no longer wise to burn their
straw, or TO devote corn land TO wheat

Clothing for Dogs.

FURNISHING decorations and clothing
for dogs is developing into q great
trade" said manufacturer to q reporter
for the New York Mail and Express re-
Gently. ''In Paris alone nearly 1000
persons are engaged in this business,
and the trade represents nearly $l,000,-
600 capital The rage for dressing
canine pets has now reached New York
from Paris. Every variety of dog has
peculiar dress and proper toilet and
toilct-cases, with powder, sponge, comb,
and so forth. 1t would be rank breach
of dog manners for a bulldog to appear
