caught by the second tree, which carried
it back with its rebound, throwing it fully
two hundred feet directly at Mr.. Smith.
The men cried ont to him. warning him Of
the danger; but he did not un lerstand them
and he wa, struck squarely on the head
without knowing of the danger. He was
conscious fora few moments, and then re-
mained unconscious until his death about
6o'clock. His skull had ben crushed, and
it was impossible to do anything to assist
him in recovery. DIR. Hughes of Niagra,
arrived before his death.
The deceased is reported by those &C :
quanted with him to have been fine

Cleveland, Illness.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 17-A special
from Washington says. according to
reports IN circulation, aud there is every
reason to believe they are authentic. We'd
nesday the president was very weak and
fevensh and was compelled to lie down
nearly the entire day. That the depar.
ture of the chief executive was uDex.
pected. and was a surprise to congress
and the public In general, goes without
saying. No hint bad been dropped re-
Gently that the president was suffering
physically in any way. 1t proves, how
ever, that but lew, except his most In
innate friends. have seeu hlm during
the past week. 1t is stated now by con-
gressfien that many of them have called
at The White House to see the president,
but have been courteously informed dur
ing toe past few days that on account of
the press OF business upon the chief ex-
ecutIve, Re begged TO be excused for the
present. An in imatlon is given out from
White House sources that the president
will probably be able to return to Wash"
ington next Tuesday, at the latest. Just
when he may be able to return. however,
is believed to be purely matter of con-
lecture. II be can get rid of the maiar-
lal fever. that he is now alleged to have,
within such short period, there Is little
doubt that he will be able to return by
that time. If bis present ailment does
not yield readily TO treatment applied by
his physicians, his retnEa-is somewhat
Dloblematical.

Editor TINEs MoUSrAiSKER:
It's now nearly time for boys and girls
to be looking up their books and other
equipments for school aud its re requirements.
In two weeks the great majority Of our
schools Will open for the school year OF
1894 and 1895. With many it is the GUS
tom of accommodating school attendance to
everything else. Harvest is not yet ended
or seed time has come, and my boy or my
girl cannot bs spared from the labor 50 nee
esslry at home. The dollar is primary;
knowledge secondary.
I Bot seei time has come with the boy and
the girl. God mas placed them in beauti.
ful world, but at the same time world Of
temptation, n world of care, world Of sin;
or world Of JOY and happiOess, Look on
this picture. Our allotted time told in
years is three score aud ten. The boy starts
in youth, bright and Joyous, all the world
wonder, great show, himself mira
Gle. There are two roads. one fenced Up
by Ignorance and mental inactivity. His par
ents aud the force Of circumstances throw
him into this path, and what is the resul?
Seventy years of poverty (mental at least,)
seventy years of drudgery; IN short lite
sp1iien, rendered comparatively coarse,
blunt, almost useless. Taking the way, the
road of thought, OF discipline. OF wisdom.
Here is growth-these ways are pleasant,
and in all these paths is peace. Here count
on 20 years of oil that is beautiful in life.

tence not without toll, but without serYilo

Then let me ask Of all the young people
who may see these lines to be in earnest to
become educa:ed. Have. your books ready
for the first 4eniay in September, and if
you haYe DO school near you struggle and
