sERInI1s ACCIDENT.

What might very we'll have been a
fatal accident happened on Sunday
morning to Coleman Barkwill, son of j.
w. Barkwill, of this place. Young
Barkwill, who has been staying out on
Turkey Run of French Greek, where his
father has a saw mill, went out COON
hunting on Saturday night in company
with John Masters, another young man
who lives in that neighborhod. They
had freed a coon and built fire at the
foot of the tree, and we're waiting for
daylight to come in order TO see TO
shoot the game. About four o'clock IN
the morning Barkwill stopped over to
fix the fire, when it communicated with
a powder horn which he was carrying
under his vest, and a terrible explosion
was the result. Pretty near every bit
of clothing was blown off the boy S
body and he was burned in shocking
manner AS soon as possible he was
removed to a house in the vicinity and
a messenger sent to town after ply
stefan and his father. When they got
out there it was found possible to re-
move him to his home, which was done
on Sunday morning. DIR. Grimm, VINO
is attending him, thinks he is getung
on very we'll and will come out all right
except few marks of the burns. 1t is
supposed that the plug had dropped
out of the horn, and when he stopped
over the powder ran into the flre. Al
together. it was pretty close call.-St'
Mary's Oracle.

Mrs. John Server, 80 West Fourth
street, N. Y. City, says: Professor
Munyon's remedies have really saved
me small fortune in doctors fees. We
have had a great deal Of sickness in our
family. and l used to call a physician
for my little ones several times a week.
Now | am glad to say that we have not
employed doctor for two years; when
ever anyone is i'll few doses of Mum
yon's remedies act like magic and save
us long spells of sickness. We have
used Munyon's Cures with wonderful
success in colds, coughs, fevers, sore
throat, diarrhoea, liver complaint and
dyspepsia, and, in fact, in all kinds of
sickness. For myself, have been cur
ed of asthma by Munyon's Asthma
Remedies"
The charm of Munyon's Remedies,
next to their healing power, is their
mild, pleasant action. Under Munyon's
system of treatment there are no bitter
doses. Professor Munyon puts up a
separate remedy for every disease. His
Rheumatism Cure seldom fails to re-
lieve Rheumatism in from one to three
hours, and cures in a few days. His
Catarrh Cure is guaranteed to cure ca
tarrh. healing the afflicted parts, and
restoring them to health. His Kidney
Cure speedily cures all forms of kidney
disease. His Nerve Cure restores over
strained and overworked nerves to a
healthy condition. His Liver Cure cor
reefs headache, biliousness and all liv-
er diseases. His Cold Cure never fails
to cure the most severe cold. At all
druggists, mostly % cents a bottle.

The Council Committee or Finance
will not be called in session to provide
money for the Health Committee until
after the first Of November, the object
of the delay being alleged to be TO see
how the tax receipts pan cut during
the discount period. It is the opinion
of those who ought 10 know that the re-
ca.pts for this year will run something
in excess Of the estimate made for the
Finance Committee by the City Clerk,
five or six months ago, and 1t is posi-
bic this excess will be sufficient TO
provide enough funds to tide the
Health department over the remainder
of the year. If not, the only resource
will be TO take small slice off the
stone bridge balance appropriation,
which amounts TO over $4,000 and
which will not be needed this year,
judging from the indications up about
the Court House.

The amount of work imposed upon
the City Clerk, his assistant and the
City Receiver, by ordinance, in the
matter Of paying city employees, is
something fearful to contemplate, and
could be very much lessened to the adj
vantage of all concerned. Under this
system. a separate order and check is
necessary for every item Of labor or
material furnished the city, and as a
result it is not unusual, on pay day, to
see orders and checks TO the number
Of dozen or fifteen drawn for one in
dividual. As a result, it takes any
where from four TO six hundred checks
and orders for one pay, where one
third the number would do under a
more modern arrangement.

The undertakes in their state ses-

practical demonstration on a ca
daver by W. p. Hohenschuh this az

The subject is the prepared body of
4 young lowan accidentally shot
and secured by Mr.. Hohen-
schuh, who is a recognized scholar
all over the west in the mbalming
art. to assist in his illustration at the
state convention. The lecturer ex-
plains the new and more practical
methods Of preservation and also the
best means of DESTROYING the germs
of infectious and agious diseases.
Following Mr.. Hohenschnh's lee
ture the annual election of officers
will occur. the next place of meeting
selected and sine die adjournment
taken.
Legislature Charged.
In delivering his address on Pros
poets and Objects of Legislation in
This State" l. p. Norton. of Gales
burg. made some sensational charges
against the legislature and informed
the convention that under present
circumstances it would be impos-
possible to secure the passage of a
proposed bill without buving the
sanitation committee of the house of
representatives. Mr.. Norton said
he visited Springfield with a bill
prepared by the Undertakers' as.
sociation providing for the APP
pointmcnt OF board of examin-
crs. from whom all desiring to
follow embalming in Illinois would
have to secure a certificate OF
eligibility. Mr.. Norton was told
that $1,000 would be necessary tC
get the bill through. The boodlers
afterward cut their price $500. This
Mr.. Norton refused to give them
and consequently the bill was given
no consideration.
Other addresses this morning
were: The Beginner" by r. b
Knox, Moline; Conducting Society
or Private Funerals at House
