The severe storm which struck Mo.
ran about 5 p. m. Friday found a
large crowd of victims on the fair
grounds, most of whom sought shelter
in the grand stand. Here, what
might have been horror of the worst
description, took place. When the
violent wind first struck the frail
structure it began to sway with the
wind, which caused many of those
nearest the ends to Jump out; and
then with crash the seats fell to the
capped with being violently shaken up,
but John Stewart, one of Allen coun-
TVS brightest young school teachers,
who was under the seats. was caught
in the fall and his hip joint broken,
which will result i'm making him a
lifelong cripple. Stewards cousin,
Mr.. Patterson, was also severely in
jured, and we have heard it reported
that a woman and baby were also in
jured, but we cannot learn their
names.
Reports from the Moran Fair indi-
cate that there was good crowd pres
ent to witness the races and that the
Fair Association at that place realized
receipts. The crowd ON Friday is
variously estimated from ], 800 to 1000,
and the number present on Saturday
was also large. lola people were, of
course, disappointed with the result of
the pacing race. which Col. Bruce lost
to Bonny Tar, from Thayer. The time
i'm which Bonny Tar won one of the
heats was 2:37; and as Col. Bruce has
a trial record of 2:1S, his admirers are
convinced that under reasonably equi-
table conditions he could defeat the
other horse.
The Union young peoples social at
the Christian church last Tuesday
night was not very largely attended,
wished i'm the way of good will OIL the
part of all concerned; and the papers
and discussions every one evinced the
heartiest inter-denominatiOnal good
feeling, which the Christian Endeav-
or movement is calculated to promote.
Union meetings will be held once a
month, in the different churches in
regular rotation, OH the third Sunday
in the month, the topic to be selected
by the society in whose church the
meeting is held, and the leader to be
chosen by the Union Executive Com
mittee.

A very nice new street lamp has just
been placed in front of the door of the
NJ. f. church. This lamp was made
by w. H. Root, the timer, who with
Mr.. Stout Patterson, Miss Sadie Rel
inert, Mr.. Ihrig and Mr.. Ira Patterson
(who also had a hand in getting up
this lamp, all donated their work as
a gift to the church. This has been
greatly needed for long time and the
of the donors will doubtless
be deeply appreciated by the members
of the church.

the records on these subjects, may bor
row the books from this office, for
short space of time.

yellow head-dress and red stockings.
She ought to join the dress reform
without delay. Fancy the
goddess of liberty in red
stockings. or, for that matter, with |
