Big Blue river has run so low, owing
| to the drought, that it has been unable
TO carry off the refuse from the Car
thage strawbOard factory. The straw
board company consequently will soon
begin work on a large filter reservoir,
which will not only hold the offal of the
mill, but prevent il from running into
the river. This move on the part of the
mill-owners will be greatly appreciated
by people living along Blue river, the
waters Of which have been so injurious
ly affected by the poisonous flow from
the factory that fish can't live, and the
usefulness of the water is impaired

Frank Barnes. aged thirteen years,
who has resided with Felix Williams in
Hartsviile, for some time. was found
Monday afternoon by a little boy who
went TO play with him digging in the
ground very much like a dog would do.
He would stop occasionally and bite the
barn door or run after a chicken, should
one come near him. The playmate be-
came frightened and informed some la
dies near by. who soon aroused the quiet
village. Men came to the scene and at
tempted TO catch him. This proved to
be hard task. \ sheet was procured
and thrown around him and he fell to
biting "a everybody, finally catching
Landy Williams on the arm. and il was
with great difficulty that he was re-
leased. The unfortunate boy had 10 be
choked loose and his sufferings were
great. II required enough morphine to
kill an ordinary man to quiet him 50
that ne could be controlled. He was
reported alive at noon today. The young
boy was bitten by small dog some
days ago. but as his flesh was only
marked nothing was thought about it.

What may prove TO be a fatal accident
occurred Monday night about four miles
south of town on the Danville road. Mrs.
Al Stevens was working over the cook
stove when she suddenly took fit and
fell TO the floor. At the time she held
a teapot and Jeakettle full of boiling
water in her hands and the contents of
these vessels were poured out upon her
person. Her face, shoulders, breast.
side and back were frightfully scalded.
In some places the skin came off entirely
and in others huge and unsightly blisters
raised. DR.. Ensminger was hastily sum-
mOned and gave medical attendance.
This morning he reported that there
were some chances for her recovery in
spite of her accident. The family has
been peculiarly unfortunate in the last
few months. In February Mr.. Stevens,
who is a lumberman, was hurt by the
limb of a falling tree and was laid up
for several weeks. In June he was al
most killed by log rolling over him
while he was loading a wagon and he is
not yet recovered from these injuries.
Last month the skull of their little
daughter was terribly crushed by mud
sled and now comes the accident to Mrs.
Stevens. They have four children, the
youngest a fine boy, beings born last
night after the terrible scalding of the
mother.-Crawfordsv Journal.
