From the strife OF men and brothers,
From a life all borne for others:
From nights vigils dark and lonely.

From the flames of passions fire,
From the cravings of desire,
From the tortures OF despair.

not necessarily serious accident while
working at the Corbin building yester-
day. He is carpenter and was putting
in window castings. lie stood on a
twelve foot step ladder which was not
stayed and the ladder stood on a new
hard wood floor which had just been
oiled, making it very slippery. He was
about ten feet above the floor when the
ladder spread throwing him forward on
his face and the fall might have resulted
more seriously had he had further to
fall AS it was, the claws of the ham
mer struck him over the eye, making
two bad cuts, a cut on top Of the head
was made by some projectiIe unknown,
and laid the skull bare, it being about
two and one half inches lorg. One
hand was badly sprained and several
other minor bruises were found. DR..

his home where his wounds were
dressed. 1t is expected he will De able

Ee Might Give Pointers.

j. L. Friend, travelling man who is
a guest at the Ross House, broke the
record at Pretty Lake yesterday. He
went out to the lake yesterday forenoon
and commenced to fish about noon. lie
had prepared himself with a lunch be-
fore starting but says he was too busy
to eat after the ball commenced Fear
ing that one or two poles would be
rather slow and monotonOuS he took
seven and had no more than baited his
lines and cast off than he found that he
had more business than the small boy
who run up against hornets nest.
He fished and lished for seven strai ,ht
hours and says he forgot everything and
everybody except his lines and the fish
until it commenced to grow dark, when
to his amaZement he found it was seven
o'clock. He pulled in his lines and
taking an inventory found he had
caught 21o of various sizes and ages.
1t is needless to say that the Ross
House guests enjoyed a delicioIs break
fast this morning, and Mr.. Friend
hasn't got through laughing yet at his
own antics in endeavoring to take care
of seven lines with the fish biting like

VIII be Taken Care of.

Adam Rnehart, an old gentleman
who is sadly afflicted with an egg mania
was committed to the county house as
insane this morning.
His insanity takes the form of an
egg speculator. He has begged and
borrowed money from everyone he can
who does not know Of his trouble, and
starts out buying up eggs, tramping
many miles every day, using himself
up in his unnatural energy and ambi
ton. He pays twelve cents per dozen
selling them at ten cents, and imagin-
ing he is making lots Of money. He
also imagines he has got 175 bags of
money at Rochester and seeks in every
manner to get to that town either by
rail OF team to get it and transfer ii
here. 1t was through this idea that by
little strategy on the part of the city
marshal he was transferred to the
county house. He told the marshal
dDouC NltC liOlICy anu CApICSSC't q W iSll
to get team and go after it. The old
gentleman has been supported by his
wife and sons and the marshal first un-
folded his scheme to them and advised
them that the old gentleman had better
be taken care of before harm should be-
fall him and gained their consent. He
then made an arrangement with Ma
thaniel Much, the poor master, who
happened in town this morning with a
team and purchased two cider barrels.
They explained to the old gentleman
that they could dump all the money in
the barrels and put the heads in again
and no one would suspect what they
were carrying, thus avoiding danger
from thieves. He readily gave his con-
sent and climbing into the wagon, rode
off to the county house where he will
be given the care he needs.
Perhaps it was wrong to deceive the
old man but as in all cases OF insanity
strategy was Necessary, and it is expected
when he arrives at his destination he
will accept the situation as it is and no
doubt will be better off than roaming
the streets and hanging around the de-
pots where he was in constant danger
of being killed.

THE INDEPENDENT.
Price of Cash i'm Advance Subscrip,
tiOns Reduced to One Dollar per
Year.

The publishers of the INDEPENDENT
have determined that it shall not only
be the largest and best but cheapest
weekly paper, all things considered, in
Marshall county. Our announcement
that the paid-in-advance subscription
price is hereafter to be only 81 per year
is the result. The regular price of
$50 per year will remain the same on
all subscriptions not paid in advance
Our idea of making reduction of
0ne-third on cash in advance subscrip-
tions is first, to give the subscriber the
very lowest cash figure for the best
weekly newspaper in the county; and
second, to reduce the trouble of max
ing collections to minimum, which it
is necessary for us to do at the reduced
cash price. Subscription order may be
found on the last page of this paper
Sample copies will be promptly
mailed on request.

Boy Killed.

DR.. f. Moro, coroner Of the county,
was called to Kinzie by telegram re-
ceived this morning, stating that a boy
by the name of Harry Fox had been
killed while attempting to jump on a
passing train. He fell under the ears
and was run over, and died soon after
wards. DR.. Moro left for that place in
in private conveyance as soon as the
telegram was received. The boy in
tended to have pleasant time at
Maxinkuckee Lake, and for that pur-
pose attempted to board the through
freight, but fell between the ears and
had one leg and both arms cut off, and
was otherwise injured. He was per
fectly conscious until six o'clock on
Saturday morning. His father is the
postmaster at Kinzie, and himself and
wife were almost frantic over the shock
ing accident Warsaw Sat. Times.

vent one from falling off. In front is
quite large square place where the
people living in the flats often sit and
look down on the street below, esreci-
ally the children. 1t was while going
forward To this place that the little fell
low in some manner fell and rolled
down the outside steps into the street
below. He was picked up, carried in,
and DIR. Knott summoned, who upon
examination found no internal injur-
les or broken bones, but numerous bad
bruises. 1t was only an accident that
he was not killed, and we would hate to
feel the responsibility of that landlord
who, to save about two or three dollars
expense leave stairway in the condi-
tion Of this one where someone is liable
at any time to fall and be killed.

Ordered to Keep His Jaws Closed.

Elkhart Review: Oliver Curtis,
colored man living eleven miles north
of Elkhart, was taken with lOckjaw
while at Tracy Bros. saloon, on ma n
street, about 9 o'clock last night. The
man was yawnlng when the tendrills
slipped from place and it was impossi-
bic for him to close his mouth. Two
companions accompanied HIM to DIR.
Montgomery Office where the jaw
bones were reset. The fellow was so
jubilant over his recovery that he re-
turned to the saloon, and while show
ing how the MISFORTUNE occurred he
was attacked second time in the
same manner, requiring a resetting
of the parts. The physician gave in
structions for the man to return home
at once and keep his jaws closed with
out food for twenty four hours, as an
other displacement would result SER
ously.
