A small child of Nick Berberett,
who lives some miles east of town,
accidentally sucked grain of
coffee into its windpipe some
weeks ago. At the time of the ac-
cident the child was brought to
DR.. Cater, who held an examina-
tion, and recommended the pa
rents to let the child alone, and
not submit to an operation as was
suggested by others. DR.. Caters
advice was followed, and on Mon
day of this week the child cough
ed up the grain, and it is thought
will rapidly recover.-Edina Sem

Passenger engine No. 31S, pre-
sents a very dilapidated appear
ance to-day ON account of an en-
counter it had with a number of
box cars, at Princeton, this morn
ing. The engine was being run
by John Haring and was pulling
No. l, the passenger train due
here at 4::25 a. m. She was COM
ing into Princeton at good round
pace this morning, when Mr. Har-
ring discovered that several box
cars had ran off the side track on
the main track. He was in thirty
feet of them at the time, and quick
ly putting on the air he jumped
down behind the boiler head. The
engine was running about twenty
five miles an hour when she struck
the cars. One car was completely
torn to pices, the engine going
clean through it. The smoke
stack, bell, and all other appli-
ances on the top of the boiler
were cleaned off as with a knife,
and some of the timbers knocked
out of the windows in the cab, and
a piece of glass struck Mr.. Har-
ring on the hand cutting it quite
badly. The passengers in the
coaches were shaken up somewhat,
but no one was hurt. A freight
engine was put on and the train
arrived here about an hour late
Trenton Republican.
Ellison has absolutely no chance
of being elected in this cirauit, un-
less he gets a large number of
Republican votes and the entire
vote OF his own party. He is an
independent candidate and as such
cannot command the full vote of
the Democract party in any of the
counties of the circuit. He will
lose many Democratic votes in
every county, and will not secure
enough Republican votes to make
up for the loss. Higbee will carry
the full Republican strength of the
circuit, and in every county in the
circuit he will get Democratic
voters, hence he can not fail of be-
ing elected by more than the usual
Republican majority. We put it
down that way and we will not be
convinced to the contrary till we
have better evidence than we have
now. Republicans and Democrats
as well should vote for Higbee
this year.-Unionville Republi-
can.
Judge Turner held special
term of court Tuesday, and tried
young Abrams for stealing his
uncle's mule. He was found gull
ty and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for two years. This is the
boy whose fine was paid for him
last winter for knocking another
boy down with a club. We pre-
dicted at the time that this action
would only encourage shim in
crime, and so far our predict ons
have been verified. 1t is nearly as
bad to help man out of a m ali
cious crime as it is to assist him
in doing it. The punishment is
for the purpose of lettering him
from committing crime again, and
an example to others who are pre-
disposed to commit crime. To re-
lieve a man from the punishm ent
inflicted by the court is to be an
accessory after the crime.-Mem-
phis National.
