Serious Accident.

What came near being fatal acci-
dent occurred at the farm of Geo.
Thayer last Saturday afternoon. 1t
seems that Mr.. Thayer was moving
his house and his little boy, about
twelve years old was driving the horse
on the capStan when in some manner
the bolt which attaches the whitfie
tree to the sweep came out. The
strain of the building brought the
sweep back with fearful force, strik-
ing the boy over the left eye cutting a
cash three inches long and knocking
him senseless. He did not recover
conciousness until Sunday afternoon.
For long time doubt was entertain
ed that the little fellow would ever re-
cover, but with proper and careful
nursing he may possibly do so. Ex-
animation revealed the fact that he
suffered a fracture at the base of the
brain on the right side. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thayer have the sympathy of their
friends and neighbOrs in this trying
hour and all hope for a safe and
speedy recovery.

To Fatten Hogs

O. w. Browning, Of Newton, Ia,
gives the following as a ration for fat
tening hogs: For fattening hogs
there is nothing better to feed with
corn than linseed oil cake meal, feed
ing about four or five pounds Of meal
in the shape of warm slOp to a bushel
Of corn. If the slop is made of skim
milk all the better. The slop may be
fed at one feed, preferably in the
morning before the corn. Corn should
be fed twice a day what the hogs will
eat up clean, and should be soaked in
warm water if it is dry and hard. This
is the way we have followed in fatten-
ing hogs for ten years, with uniformly
good results. In the fall pumpkins
are good feed for any kind Of hogs,
and should be sased by every hog

Got Left.

The REGISTER has good joke on
DR.. BaScOmb, of Clark, which is too
good to keep and will take chances on
being forgiven for telling it. 1t tseemS
the doctor had started out with the
intention of stopping at Rochester,
Mimi, and then going on to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. He got as
far as this city and while talking with
the writer on the depot platform his
train pulled right out behind him.
But the doctor remained in blisSful
ignorance until Conductor PrOthero
came around and asked him why he
wasn't on the train. 1t was some
time before the astoniShed doctor
could be made to believe that he had
missed it and then-well, we draw
the curtain. The REGISTER would
not, under any circumstances, accuse
the doctor of starting out on Monday
morning in any other than sober
condition, for the manner in which
the north train gets into this station
would confuse even stronger heads
than his. However the experience
will undoubtedly become Serviceable
before leaving the White City.

as he anticipates. Mr.. MCGOWAN is a

makes friends slowly, but is able to

The Spell Broken.

The dry period terminated in this
locality last Friday night. The at
mosphere became damp and a soaking
rain set in which lasted until Sunday.
A heavy rain fell from 80 Sunday
morning until day-dawn. And nearly
all day Sunday the air was full of
mist. The rainfall will no doubt
materially benefit the soil and pre-
pare it for better fall blowing.

New Fire Engine.

The chemical engine for this city
arrived last Saturday night. The city
disposed of the old pumping engine,
which was practically useless here;
and purchased large chemical
engine. If properly handled the new
apparatus will be of great value as the
greater portion of fires in the cities
are extinguished with these engines.

"once there was Il little boy who thought
he would like to 90 up and see the stars

know exactly how to get there. but he
had seen ~skyrockets 90 up on the Fourth
of July, and he thought that if he could
get a skyrocket that was big enough it
would take him where he wanted to go.
So he saved up his pennies, and when he
he had money enough he went to a Ina

The poetry of shopping comes in with
those shoppers who are starved for es
citement, variety and beauty at home.
1t is not lawful; they have no right to do
it: but they have no society to satisfy a
hunger for the beautiful with jewels
and fine dresses on others if not on
themselves. They cannot afford the
thea;ers; they go to the shops. They
look at the laces and long: they
go to the embroidery counters and
fancy; they educate themselves in the
matter of india shawls; they seek the
silkroom, brilliant with gas lights and
electric lights, and look at brocades fit
for the court of a princess, at silks whose
iamboyant scarlets burn in the illumi-
nation. whose tender blue is the blue Of
spring skies half robbed Of rain, whose
green is the breaking wave of the sea.
whose violet is the hue of mountains far
away in autumn mists, and they picture
themselves or those they love robed and
radiant in these tissues. And if the poor
shopman is weary when they go away,
they themselves are refreshed for a long
season of further denial and renuncia-
ton. --Harper's Bazaar.
