in a number of places, besides being ter
ribly cut, bruised and burned. He was
picked up in an insensible condition and
carried to the hospital where he suffered
terribly for months. Owing to the most
skillful surgical treatment he IS now able
to hobble around on crutches, although
still great sufferer. his daughter, a
younglady of seventeen years, was

Painful Accident.

M. George Geary, the well known and
popular host of the Geary House, of this
place, met with very painful aud what
might have been a serious accident on
Monday evening while returning from
horseback trip to Rees' Tannery, on Cedar
Greek. Just north of town, nearly opposite
the residence of Mr.. B. P. Newman. on the
pike, his horse tripped and fell throwing
Mr.. Geary heavily upon the hard road.
In endeayoring to save his head from
striking he landed with his whole weight
upon his right arm and hip, dislocating
the arm at the elbow and badly straining
the muscles and leaders, and bruising his
hip. By quick presence of mind Mr.
Geary succeeded in freeing his feet from
the stirrups and getting away far enough
to keep the horse from getting on him in
its efforts to regain its feet. Fortunately
Mr.. William NEEDS team was close az
hand, and Mr.. Richards, the driver
quickly seized the fallen animal by the
bride and materially aided in keeping
him from tramping or rolling on his rider
in his struggles. Mr.. Geary at once
mounted him and rode home, not know
ing that his elbow was out of joint, al.
though he was painfully conscious of his
other injuries including a badly cut hand.
DR.. D. D. Carter was called in and reduced
the dislocaton as well as rendering all
other necessary surgical treatment as
sisted by his partner, DR.. Barney. We
are glad to say that Mr.. Geary is getting
along nicely, although, of course suffer
ing considerable pain at times.

Maintain the Law.

Notwithstanding the Mayors proclama-
ton some persons in this place are allow
Ing their dogs to run at large without
being muzzled. Parties who will thus
openly defy the law and criminally and
selisl!y refuse to take so necessary pre-
caution for the safety of their fellow
citizens, their neighbors and friends, and
especially the little children who would
be the first victims, should be punished
as severely as the law will permit. If
Mayor Bauserman is the man we have al
ways supposed him to be he will not per-
NIT this open and willful disregard of the
law, but will at once take such measures
as will put prompt and effectual stop TO
it. Every rightminded citizen will up
hold him in it. Another thing that needs
attention is the sham muzzle that appears
on some of the dogs that are running the
streets 1t is a palpable and know ing
evasion of the law. A dog that can pic k
up and gnaw large bone with muzz
on can bite just as effectively as one
without it. We suppose every dog ownere
in the town has full knowledge of tie
Mayors proclamation, therefore let him
instruct the policemen to kill every dog
found running at large withou ut a proper
muzzle. The safety of every man woman
and child IN the community demands
such a precauti on. Hydropbobia is the
most terrible death imaginable, and the
slightest ri,k should be avoided at any
cost

Marx Twain's Latest Romance Of
an Esquimau Maiden.

an Esq ululRu mdlQeu.
A magazine is usually satisfied with one
strong feature for the month. The Cos
mopolitan, however, presents for Npyem-
Der no less than five very unusual ones.
William Dean Howel.s gives the first of
the letters of the traveller, who has been
visiting this country, from Altruria. We
have read Mr.. HOwells' impression Of TIE
Altrurian but in this first letter we have
the Altrurlan's impressions of New York,
with some comments upon our govern
ment and society, calculated to awaken
the most conservative minds. The Sec
ond feature of The Cosmopolitan is the
portion of the magazine given up to color
work, no less than ten superb color illus
trations being presented for the first time
in magazine history, accompanying an
article by Mrs. Rodger a. Pryor on
"Changes in Women's Costumes" The
third feature is American Notes" by
Walter Besant, who was recently IN
America and is doing the United States
for The Cosmopolitan a la Dickens. The
fourth feature is an article 10y General
Badeau on The Forms of Invitation
Used by the English: Nobility" The
article Is illustrated by the facsimile Of
cards to the Queens drawing.rOom, to
dinner at the Princess of Wales, and to
many leading houses Of England. Fina.-
ly, we have a new and very curious story
by Mark TWAIN, called "The Esquimau
Maden's Romance" 1t IS in his bappiest
vein and is illustrated by Dan Beard. The
November number presents the work OF
many artists, among whom are {. s
Reinhart, Otto Guillonnett, J. H. Harper
