DR.. Gould got the hardest fall, Mon
day, that he has had for many day.
He was standing in the door of the
court house when his feet slipped from
under him, and he fell clear out on the
sidewalk, his head striking the stone
step on which he had been standing.
He was considerably shaken up but not
seriously hurt. The wonder Is that the
back of his head was not crushed in or
his neck broken.
| Peffer's book, 1.-The Farmers Side,r
! is Just such a work as every voter
should read. He describes the condi-
ton of the farmer, compares it with
the condition of men in other callings,
carefully examines the cost of labor
and of living, the prices of crops, taxes,
mortgages, rates of interest, etc. He
shows the increase of wealth of rail
roads and corporations, and then shows
the 'way out" The INDEX will furn-
ish its readers with this book at cost,
postage paid, tor 81.
