REUBEN FIELD INJURED.
The Greatest Mathematical Calcu.
latOr in the World Struck
by an Engine in Sedalia.
His Left Foot Badly Mashed and
Two of His Toes have to be
Amputated.

the Lexington Branch train was slow
ly moving along, the engine struck
man who was standing on the tracl
at the east end of the Union depo
platform, and showed him over to tn
north side, Immediately against ,
telegraph pole.
Many bystanders witnessed tb,
accident and instantly gathere,
about the PROSTATE form. Upon ex
animation the unfortunate man wa
found to be none other than the fa
NOUS professor" Reuben Field, o
Warrensburg, the greatest mathemat
ical calculator the world has, evel
produced.
Finding that Field was the injured
man, the news rapidly spread and the
crowd increased. The professors left
foot was bleeding through his shoe and
he was pale and trembling from the
shock and excitement. Four OF
five strong men picked him up and
carried him up Ohio street, half way
to Main, and laid their burden down
in the shade.
A physician was soon at the scene,
but Field refused to say word, would
not allow his shoe removed and not
until he had been begged for ten min.
utes, would he 60 to the physicians
Office. Arrived at the stairway, lead
ing up to DR.. Mills room, he refused
to go any further and
finally broke away and wan
dered of down towards Usage
street, leaving blood dripping out Of
bis shoe at every step. He was as
stubborn and stoical as an Indian and
nobody could do a thing with him.
After standing on the corner of
Main and Usage a few minutes, he
walked to the depot and sat down on
4 doorstep. He did not limp and
made no complaint, but the blood was
still running through his ragged shoe
and dripping on the platform.
Finally Sheriff Smith and Officer
McGhee arrived and compelled him
to 60 TO engine house No. 2. where
his shoe was removed and Dr's Mills
and Dresel sent for. At first
glance they saw that his foot was bad
ly mashed and that two of his toes
would have to be amputated. The
unfortunate man of figures was, after
much difficulty, laid upon a cot and
placed under the influence of chloro-
form. The operation was then per-
formed by the two surgeons named
above.
Field will be sent back to his home
at Warrensburg tomorrow.
Recently several metropolitan pal
pers have been devoting a great deal
Of space to the marvellous gift of calcu-
lation possessed by this Missouri
prodigy, and there is no ques-
ton that he is the greatest wonder
in his way in the world. He not only
solves instantly and without effort the
most difficult problems in arithmetic,
but he can tel, without the variation
of a fraction of q second, the time of
day without looking at the sun or
a watch. He knows, also,
1t any hour in the day the absolutely
exact time at any given point in the
world.
Field leads the life of a vagabond,
though he makes considerable money
BY giving private interview" and by
with large firms when
invoices are made.

Board as the Only Prudent

To The Editor Of TIE HERALD:

To The Editor OF THE HERALD:
DEAR SRI was somewhat surprised
this morning on reading my DAILY HERALD
20 hud an article headed Funny F'inan-
ciers. The school board issues bonds il can
not sell, and borrows money at 10 per
cent? And then follow suggestions pro
and con between the reporter and Treas
urer Walden, which, if received by the
public in the same spirit it was conceived
and written, would bring ridicule upon
members Of the school board unless per-
chance some Of your readers gave more
than passing glance at the article, in
which event they might conclude it was q
very weak statement. .
Feeling assured as do that the members
of the board are prudent men, and that the
business Of the board is conducted on bust
ness principles, and individually each Of the
members is able TO give good reasons for
his action on public matters, vet also feel
as member of the board that il is nv futv

reporter asks: lis it not funny that the

The Muscatine Bridge.

Major Mackenzie and Capt. Durham
were IN the city last evening consulting
with the bridge company relative to To-
eating sheer boom for the convenience
of raft boat pilots. Their instructions
were to construct floating sheer boom
500 feet long from the pier on the Iowa
side of tie channel span. extending at an
angle of about 10 degrees. The ex-
pense incurred will amount to several
thousand dollars. In view of the ex>
traordinary width of the channel span,
440 feet, and the long approach to it
from up the river, it seems like an I'M
necessary accommodation, but will have
to be put in if ordered by these officers.
Capt. Durham had letters with him from
pilots, asking that the bridge company be
required to construct boom 5000 feet
long on the Iowa side. scd 1000 feet long
on the Illinois side. Supt. Lillibridge
suggested building one to connect with
the government bridge draw at Dayea-
port .-Muscatine Journal

Memorial services.

On Sunday evening memorial services
were held at Augustine college chapel
in honor of the students who fell victims
to the typhoid fever scourge year ago.
There was large congregation present.
The scriptures were read and prayer was
read by Student NJ. L. Larson, of the the
illogical seminary. After this Prof
Bartholomew delivered memorial dis
course in the English language. basing
his remarks on the words, Dead, Yet
Speaketh." He said: This is an occa>
sion of tender memories; memories of
sore affection, of dark days. of sad hearts
of earnest prayers. of anxious watchings.
1t is also an occasion for devote thanks
giving. because God rose up again so
many of our students who were at deaths
door; because he has brought blessing
and prosperity out of our affection; aud
because he has not visited US again with
his chastising rod. But we recall es,
pecially our honored dead. who rest from
their labors. This spring the grass
grows green over seven mounds which
were not a year ago. These In them>
selves are precious memorial. The
voices of those whom we laid away are
silent in death, yet they speak unto us.
President Olsen spoke in Swedish, basing
his remarks on the Goth psalm. The ex-
ercises were interspersed with music,
both i'll English and Swedish. The clos
ing prayer and benedction were offered
by Rev. Prof c. E Lindberg

George johnson, Of Hiseville, KY,
went out on coon hunt a few days
ago with his dog. The dog found a
coon and ran him into hollow tree
Johnson cut the tree down and killed
the coon, but to his surprise and salts
faction he found more in the hollow
than the coon. There was an earth
enware jar, which, on opening it, he
found to contain 90, in gold coin
and two gold watches. One Of the
watches has since been identified by
j. b. Lessenberg, Of Glasgow, as one
that was taken from him by the ia
nous guerilla, Bill McGruder, in 1862.
This leads to the conclusion that the
treasure is part of the booty OF the
band of guerillas that infested that
part OF the country during the sixties.

Feeding for Meat.

Good saleable meat, whether it is
beef. mutton, or poultry meat, must
be sweet, tender and juicy. Ameri-
cans are becoming epicures in respect
to meat, and every year they demand
better and more juicy meat for their
tables. This can be furnished when
the animals are brought up properly,
and fed after some intelligent system;
but it is a more difficult task to take
lean animals or poultry and make
them sweet, tender and juicy. Even
this, however, is possible, and there
will be very few cases thatare too OBJ
stinate to handle.
Frequently the lean animal that
has been poorly fed and brought up
makes the best one for the butchers
shambles when it is handled by an
intelligent feeder. The animal is in
condition to enjoy fine appetite.
It's assimilating powers are good and
the change to good food will quickly
manifest itself in rapid growth. Ten
der and juicy meat, however, must
be the result Of system. The best
food only should be fed, and that
which is easily digested and converted
into meat. Corn or oil meal are gen
orally not SO good as ground oats,
mill feed, or wheat bran. Turnips,
cabbages and clover hay are all good
for forming good meat
But there Is often danger Of over
feeding as well as undertaking.
When it is decided to prepare the an
imal for the butcher the tendency is
to rush things and the result is detri-
mental to the animals health. Good,
juicy, tender meat can be formed on
ly SO fast. The animal that eats more
than it can digest, and assimilate,
poisons its own blood and retards the
growth Of the meat. 1t should be al
lowed to eat just enough to form
rich, pure blood, and this should be
given with the regularity of clock
work Several weeks before killing,
the animal should not be fed any grass,
weeds or vegetables that will in any
way flavor or faint the meat. Juici-
ness and flavor depends more upon
the three weeks before killing than
at any other thine.
The same holds true Of mutton and
poultry meat The sheep that are
intended for market should not be al
lowed to roam the fields that have
foreign weeds in them weeks before
killing, nor should they be fed turnips
or salty food to any extent. Other
wise the mutton will be favored with
these odors, and effect its sale. In
the case OF poultry, onions fed TO the
fowls a week or two before killing
may give the meat such a flavor that
no one would care to buy it. Many
other feed equally bad should be kept
from the chickens that are being fat
tened for market.
