If you have been renting a
house in the city, stop a moment
and think how much you have
paid out in rent. and if you have
been renting long you will soon
figure out that you have paid out
enough for rent to build as good
or a better house than you r rent
ing, and still you have no home of
your own. Why not put this
money into
HOUSE OF YOUR OWN,
in which you will feel a natural
pride, and have a permanent and
pleasant home for yourself and
family in your declining years. A
little energy on your part will do
it. Start at once by
BUYING A LOT.
If you are renting a farm figure
a moment what you are paying out
annually for rent and how soon
this rental would buy a farm here.
What you pay out in rent in two
or three years in Iowa or Illinois
would buy equally as good a farm
in South Dakota. Stop renting
and come out and buy a farm of
your own and feel the independ-

that there must be either a great saving

both these ends are attained. The coal

A FEARFUL PLUNGE.
Young John Coyne Falls Through
Park Street Bridge.

He Was Found Lying on His Side by the
Railroad Track, Forty Feet Below-His
Condition Uncertain.
A terrible accident happened LAST evening
at the overhead bridge over the Boston and
Maine t1ack at the foot of High street. This
bridge spans the deep cut at the bottom OF
which, about forty feet below, are the
tracks.
This bridge has been undergoing repairs,
and yesterday several planks were up,
leaving long narrow hole through the
roadway. This hole was surrounded by a
railing formed by means of planks. 1t was
not lighted by lanterns. but the whole
bridge is lighted by the electric at the
northwest corner of York street.
Last evening, about 1880 or o'clock a
group OF boys were playing about the
bridge, one of the number being John
Coyne, SOL of Michael Coyne, who lives
near the bridge at 40 High street. Sudden
ly, while running about the bridge. and
within the railing, young Coyne dropped
out of sight. There was report that at
this time the. electric light was out; but
Deputy Marshal Sterling, who was sum-
moned Immediately after the accident, says
LudI Wuen ne arrived the llBHJ was Durn-
ing. The hole through which the boy
dropped was long. but, only about fourteen
inches wide.
1t is thought that in falling the forty feet
the boy struck one of the braces of the
bridge. but this is not certainly known. He
was found unconscious lying in a little pool
of water outside the iron rail. He had APP
Iarently struck on his right side.
AS soon as he disappeared from the road
way of the bridge a companion went in
search of him, and finding him, got him .out
and home with the assistance of some men.
The unfortunate boy presented sad
spectacle. The right side OF his face was
badly bruised, the eye being closed entirely.
He seemed to be suffering from internal
hemorrhages, bleeding from the nose and
mouth.
DR.. Stanley P. Warren was called. He
said at a late hour last night that he found
no bones broken, and that it was too early
to say whether there were any internal
injuries of fatal nature.
Deputy Marshal Sterling carried lanterns
to the bridge and placed them about The
dangerous place.

that the small appropriation has been
well-spent money, and therefore see your
way clear to increase the appropriation.

Gazing out through half-closed eyes

Let me there indulge my soul
In THOUSAND moods and lenses,
Safe from plumb and square and rule.
Let me cast aside repression,
Giving unrestrained expression
To the thoughts wherein l revel,
Be they thoughts OF saint or devil.

Tales OF handsome lads. and bold:
Filled with valiant deeds and glories,
And true love that ne'er grows cold,
Where the good. at last. are blest

And the black-browed villain dying.
With the maid forgiveness signing.
Where the butterflies are winging
Through the summer air. or clinging

In the shadows. let me glide,
With the current. far away
To the land OF sprite and fay,
Where no, struggles come, nor duty,
Where there nothing Is but beauty.

To the heart OF some old forest,
Where each branch and twig shall fint
