Kicked by q Horse.

On Saturday morning last near noon
Horace Ransom, son of Sumner Ran
som, about nine years old, was kicked
by a hOrse,-an accident that all
thought must prove fatal. He was rid
ing on wagon that had gone to Smyr-
ma Landing and in passing a house
there the wheels were near running
over a coal screen that had been left in
the road. The little boy was asked by
the driver to get down and pull the
screen from about the horses feet which
in attempting to do was kicked by the
horse fearful blow just above the eye
mashing in the skull bone, producing
what is called compressed fracture
-indenting or cracking the section Of
the cranium between the eye and ear.
The boy looked as though he was kill
led, but DIR. Clifton was sent for, and
with the aid of DR.. Ashcraft they pro-
ceeded with the surgical operation
where he lay, FIRST relieving the pres
sure of the skull on the brain, and
then removing the broken or comminu.
ted PARTICLES. The latter required the
removing the skull bone of the for.
head for a space larger around than 8
silver dollar. elts
The boy who was then carried to hi.
home remained in comatOss eOndi
ton throughout that day and Sunday
his death expected at any tim e, but
Monday, semi'cOnsciOusness began tC
return, and yesterday he was able e
sit up in bed little while. toA

District Lodge ORGANIZED.

The meeting called for this town on
Thursday in the interest of the EpwOrth
League was unfortunate in having the
stOrmiest day of the season, preventing
the larger part of the delegates from
attending. Those attending from
the chapters organized a District
League by electing the following
officers: President. the Rev. r. K.
Stephenson; Vice presidents, DIR. A. L.
Sudler, the Revs. f. H. Nelson, r. c.
Jones, Corresponding Secretary, the
Rev. K. l. Watkins Recording Secre-

eral Conference. In the evening the
Rev. Vaughn Collins and Rev. r. I.

worthy of large audience.

Trade PrnsnActs.

Tee Philadelphia Ledger thus speaks
of business prospects:
The trade reports are uniformly and
cOnspicuOusly favorable and all unite
in declaring that business is very ac-
tive. r. G.. Dun & Co., says that it is
Large in volume and generously prof
table" and adds: Boston finds the
boot and shoe trade encouraging in
that line are firm, while leather is un-
changed and the trade in hides is
quiet. Sales of wool is rather large,
amounting to 4,264, 300 pounds, but
there is distinct improvement in the
market for woOllen goods aud manu-.
facturers are hopeful Cotton goods
are firm in price, while the raw mater
ial declines.
1t is less than three weeks since the
Mckinley bill became a law, and al
ready its stimulating effect on the in
dustres is so marked as to compel r
G.. Dun & Co.'S. Commercial Agency t
report, in its review of trade to-day
that lin many branches there is note
worthy expansion on account of the
new opportunities which the revised
tariff gives" and that "the volume o
business is greater than ever before"

The effect of the elections, the ma
tional interest being in the choice of
members of Congress, is thus stated
by a Washington correspondent:
Washington bids fair to be empty of
politicians this week 1t is pretty near
that condition now. Only two or three
members Ofthe Cabinet are here. Secre-
tary Blaine has gone West. Secretary
Tracy has gone to New York. Secre-
tary Proctor will go next week. Mr..
Wanamaker is in Pennsylvania, and so
are all other Pennsylvanians who hold
high offices here. The President hopes
to be able to go to Indiana, and the At
torney- General and Treasurer Huston
will certainly do so. The Democratic
and Republican Committees are about
ready to shut up shop, and their rooms
present deserted appearance. Both
committees express confidence 10 the
result, but neither is indulging in any
bluster. 1t is felt that the circumstan-
ces surrounding this election is unu'
sually uncertain owing to the tariff ag'
itatiOn, the Farmers Alliance business
the redistricting of various States, and
other special causes. The managers al
committee headquarters are therefore
puzzled, and freely confess that they
are.

IT is puzzling to know the exact lay
of the land in regard to laws regulating
the liquor traffic. The decision of the
Supreme Court regarding original pack
ages filled the Prohibition and high
license States of the West with men
engaged in a new industry.-selling
liquor in original packages. Then
came action by Congress in the passage
of the Wilson act, which wiped out the
original package business. Now the
courts of Kansas have decided thai
Congress cannot interpret the COnstitu
ton, that being the function of the
courts, and that the Wilson Act cannO
apply to anti-liquOr laws enacted and
in force before the Wilson Act became
a law. The original package mel
have opened for work again.

The Potato Rot in New York

SARATOGA, Oct. 2i.-The extent OF
of the Potato rot in this section is al
most appalling, considering the depen-
dence which was being placed on this
crop to even up the farmers balance
sheet of a thus far unfavOrable year.
Other crops have yielded poorly, and
except in isolated instances, the fruit
crop has been light. Early potatoes
were ruined by the drought, and
yielded poor returns. The late crop.
however promised fairly well, and re-
ports being we'll founded of the almost

and other great potato sections, farm.

SENATOR Sherman takes a rOseate
view of the future. In speech last
week he made the following prophecy:
"My fellow citizens, am as positive
as am of my existence to-day that
within ten years from this time we will
produce every pound of sugar that is
used in this country on our own farms.
The farmer will raise the product
and the farmer will build these great
machines to press out the juice and re-
duce it to sugar, and thus great in
dustry probably employing 100000 in
this country will be built up. We
have put a duty on tin plate equal to
and little more than the duty on
sheet iron, and the result is we will
manufacture in this country of ours
within very short time-and you
Pittsburg people especially, because it
was largely upon your influence and
the influence of others that it was
dOne-we will make within five years
of this time 100000 tons of plate tin
and we will make the tin cup so cheap
that nobody will grOwl.

A WRITER in discussing the question

A WRITER in discussing the question
of Woman's rights says;
Therefore the number of women who
are now practically using their rights
is a great multitude, while forty years
ago the knot was so little that the
names of them all come up to us all at
once, with Mrs. Stanton and Miss An
thOny at their head. Actual wOmen's
rights have become fashionable, and
yet the prime end for which the orig
inal women agitatOrs labOred is further
off than ever. There is far more dis.
position on the part of women to de-
clare their independence, and yet
theirindifference to the suffrage act does
not decrease. Only practical and intel
lectual advancement interests them.
They do not struggle tor the trouble of
voting, though their timidity about
taking part in public affairs generally
has so far passed away that if they did
care for it they would have no hesita-
tiOn in asking for the privilege.

THE political campaign is nearly at
an end: another week the battle will
have been fought and won. How is 1t
going?, is the question everyone would
like answered. The combat has been
waged with unusual vigOr and determi-
nation-as if their existence depended
upon it by both parties-but such are
the contingencies this campaign, un-
certain because there is no gauge OF
measurement, that no man can tell the
result. Both parties claim the victory
in advance, and each think they are in
to win, but the closing of the polls
next Tuesday evening only will enable
the sure figures to be reached.

In the Statistical Congress of 1860
DIR. Farr laid down the proposition,
subsequently confirmed by a careful
compilation of facts, that the number
of sick persons at any time in a given
city will be double the number of those
who died in the whole Of the preceding
year. The remarkable approximation
of such conclusions to the truth implies
the exercise of shrewd reasoning as
well as close observation.
