SERIOUSLY

SERIOUSLY INJURED.-Monday
afternoon as Captain Mcdaniel, of
Mason City, was preparing to take
a drive he took the blanket from
his buggy and gave it a vigorous
shake to get the dust from it. His
horse, young colt which had been
hitched to the buggy, became fright
ened at the proceedings and started
down Ill at n breakneck speed.
The Ca tain made a grab for the
animal and succeeded in getting
hold of he rein, but the force of he
animal nrew him -adlong against
post, seriously wounding his head.
For time it was thought the skull
had been fractured, but fortunately
for the Captain, who is well along
in years, the wound proved to be
only a scalp wound. However, as
it is, he will be laid up for some
time.-POmeroy Telegraph.
We have a rainy season that has
seldom been equalled in any former
year. Nearly every day for the
past two weeks we have had heavy
rains, and in some instances our
streets have been flooded, owing to
tho fact that the sewerage cannot
be completed, thus leaving the gut
tiers on the streets in very bad
condition, AMI in some places ex-
tremely dangerous. Thursday night
it rained all night, and continued
pretty nearly through Friday.
The following is the state of the

Complaints are being made gen.
orally about the increasing number
of 'tramps in this town. In many
instances their impertinence and in
science is wholly unbearable. They
enter houses and beg for something
to eat, and if things do not suit
them, they use language to ladies
that borders on the vulgarity. 1t is
time the authorities were putting a
stop the tramp nuisance.
Ofcourse you want to know where
to get school books, and it is the
duty of the REGISTER to inform you.
Mr.. Archie Huston, at Hayward &
Co.'S. old stand, has fnll supply of
all needed school books and school
supplies When our readers desire
anythine of the kind, they should
go and &c Mr. Huston.
Our l sople should get together
and dew means and raise money
to Undue manufacturers to locate
in our town. If we ever get any
thing in Ibis line we must be as lib
eral, energetic and enterprising as
other towns. We must go into the
market and bid, as it were.
