rectly for the little brick building lately
occupied as an Office for an implement
warehouse, and before he could turn
west down Fifth had come upon the
sidewalk in front of the aboYe-named
building. Several workmen were en-
gagged in removing the contents of the
building, and they seeing that a COLI.
sion was well nigh inadvertable. scat.
tered in every direction. The sidewalk
being clear, the runaway horse and
sulky took their course down it for
short distance, and then as several
wagons standing about the entrance OF
a blacksmith shop obstructed that
course, a. ain took to the middle of the
street. Here additional complications
were encountered in the shape of street
cars, cabs, loads of lumber and pro-
duce, but the would-be record breakers
lodged them all and proceeded safely
to Franklin Street, where. in turning
the corner 10 the south, the rear wheel
came in contact with a telegraph pole.

in great shape. Tire. felloe and spokes
were left at this point as souvenir, and
the sulky, held up by one wheel and tn e
ttills, kept close up with the horse until
the barn was reached, where friendly
hands secured what was present of the
outfit.

WOMAN'S TRIUMPH.
A Severe Surgical Operation. 1t is
Endured without taking Ether.
Return Of the Disease
prevented.

From the Correspondence of the Kingston, n. Y,
Fireman.
The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Rond-
out, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usua-
way for Erysipelas of the hand, without
benefit. Not until her hand had become a
mass of putrid flesh did she turn to DR.. David
Kennedy, proprietor of the "Favorite REM
edy," which is made at Rondout, NY.
He informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated. She
received the terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether, sitipulating merely
to hold her husband S hand during the oper-
alton, and underwent the painful process
without moving muscle or uttering groan.
DR.. Kennedy then gave "Fayorite Remedy"
freely to cleanse the blood and p. vent re-
turn of the disease, and Mrs. Meyers now
lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.
DR.. Kennedy's "Favorite Remedy" is fast
becoming trusted household friend In all
cases of Female Weakness and diseases of

Accident.

We chronicle another accident; this

Young Moore, who is about IL years of
age andhas been employed for some time
peddling ice cream about the streets
had been climbing a tree on his
fathers lot on Sixth Street, and was
dropping from branch to the ground,
he having accomplished the object OF
his going up, when a lower limb on
which he had been resting his feet.

Topped up, striking the younester just
above the right orb as he was leaping
to the ground. The cut is an ugly one,
and Moore will be laid off duty FOR
some time. DR.. Perkins has the case in
hand.

Runaway.

at a 2.l7H gait. Main Street
was well occupied by vehicles of ali

Leap Year Party.

The young ladies gave Leap Year
Party last Monday night at the resi-
dence of Capt A. J. Barnes on Fair
view Avenue. 1t was rather late in
season but the young ladies thought
it "better late than never" About
twenty couples of the gallant young
ladies and fair young gentlemen of the
city were present. The ladies called .at
J. f. Crumley & Cos. store for their
escorts at eight O'Clock and went in a
body to the residence. Arriving at
their destination the young gentle.
men were shown to a room where
."bleom of youth" "magnolia balm,
curling irons" and. other appurtenan.
ces necessary to lady's toilet were
found with directions how to use. The
ladies entertained the young gentle
men handsomely and it was evident
from their movements they were
making the best of the opportunity
to show the gentlemen what was ex
pected Of them and what attention
they considered due the ladies. The
evening was spent very pleasantly
and it was after midnight when thu
couples lingeringly took their depart
ure. Our space will not permit of

gentlemen. They all agreed tina

Children's Day.

Sunday was "Children's Day" at
the Methodist Church and was appro.
priately observed. Miss Sue Boyce
read a very interesting paper on the
origin of "Children's Day." The sue
cess of the entertainment is due
largely to the untiring labor of Mrs
j. j. Weller and Mrs. ]. F. Sharp.
