Seriously Scalded.

Jas. Abbay, of Oakland, CAL, a
brother of John Abbay, a member
OF the firm of M. Blum & Co., OF
this city, was seriously scaIded in
a railroad accident last week. Mr..
Abbay is locomotive engineer in
California of % years standing,
taking charge of an engine when he
was only nineteen years old. He
is one of the most trusty men in
the employ of the road for which
he is working. At the time of the
accident he had charge of a passen-
ger engine, which ran into a gravel
train just east of Port Costa, Cal.
Both engines were wrecked and two
men instantly killed. While Mr..
Abbay is seriously injured, his
burns being simply terrible, it is
hoped that he will recover. Mr..
Abbay pulled the second train that
ever ran over the Sierra. Nevada
mountains.

John T. Mabry, who lives just
east of town, has been suffering for
long time with acute rheumatism.
He accidentally found out mot
through ADVERTISEMENT that the
mineral waters at Louisiana, Mo-, 4,
might be of some benefit to him.
MIR. Mabry spent two weeks in
Louisiana, drinking and bathing in
the water, having just returned
home. There is no doubt but that
the water there benefited HIM more
than any remedy he has ever tried.
When he went there he could
scarcely walk; when he came away
he LETT his cane. He will return
again next week. If such springs
were in any other town they would
be properly advertised that the
people might 60 and be healed.

Fine saddle stallion.

Mr.. ]. A. Potts bought of John
M. Hughes & Son, of Macomb,
ILL.,, last week, their fine black sad
die stallion, Kentucky Eagle, by
King Eagle, q son of Black Eagle
the sire of Black Squirrel. His
dam is by Forrest Denmark, q
son of Washington Denmark, the
sire of Montrose. This is one of
the best bred and most beautiful
saddle stations ever owned in Mis-
sour and his gaits, style and speed
are only equaled by his other quail
ties. We think Mr.. Potts purohas-
ed him with an eye single to some
of the large premiums that are be-
ing offered the present season, and
1t may be that he is looking as far
ahead as the Worlds Fair.

A CLOCKS QUEER ACTION.


One evening of last week Mr.
and Mrs. James G. Bassford were
sitting quietly at home when 9
very queer and unusual thing hap
pened. Mr.. Bassford doesn't az.
actly believe in ghosts, bat ever
since that evening he has looked
with grave suspicion upon a Ger.
tain clock that sits upon the mantel
in the sitting room. This certain
timekeeper has rested serenely fol
three years without so much as
giving forth a tick or sounding the
hour. It's bright pendulum rests
gracefully in the lower part of the
clock where it had "fallen from its
high estate" motionless and un-
noticed. A smaller clock has set
near by and has been relied upon
to furnish data regarding the move
ments of father time ever since the
day when Mr.. Bassford decided
that all efforts to keep his big new
clock running were futile. But the
gaudy time piece remained, though
not earning its storage room. It's
chances for Punishment are good.
The neighbors are offering odds of
three to one on it.
As is said, Mr.. and Mrs. Bass
ford were sitting quietly reading
and exhanglng occasional remarks,
when they noticed that the old
bell in the town clock was sound
ing out the hour of eight. AS the
sound died away both were start
led by hearing right behind them
the clear, silvery tones of the bell
