The band made no charge for SER

to have maintained and encouraged,
and it having freely given services
on former like occasions, the COM

William Goldsworthy Severely Hurt

The following account of a serious
accident to former resident Of this
city is from the Moline. ILL.,, Dispatch
of last Monday. Later information
received here by the injured mans
brother, Cullen gives hope that he
may recover:
While sweeping up in the engine
room Of his feed mill and creamery
at Hillsdale, last Saturday, William
Goldsworthy met with q terrible ac-
cident Not knowing that he was
there, his engineer started the engine
Just as Mr.. Goldsworthy was reach-
ing the broom between the spokes Of
the fiy-wheel. The broom handle
was caught and hurled with terrific
force, striking him squarely across
the throat, breaking the windpipe
and pushing it back into the msoph-
agus. He managed to get to DR..
Lockers Office where he received
treatment, but sunday there were
signs of strangulati0n, and Or. Kerns
WAS sent for The latter, with DR..
Carter, drove up 70 Hillsdale, eX-
pecting to perform tracheotomy
but although the air Was escaping
from the broken windpipe into the
tissues of the chest, the patient could
Breathe fairly although he could not
swallow and the operation wa de-
fefred. Mt. Goldswortly suffers
greatly and there is no telling yet
how the case will terminate, though
the physicians hope for the best.
Dir. CHALMERS, of the PMtteyille
normal school, drew a large audience
to hear his sermon at the p. ". church
last Sunday, and all We're well paid
for attending. On Monday afternoon
DR.. G. visited our high school. and
addressed the faculty and pupils very
entertainingly and instructiyely.

And so they were married, and down
at Madison they say that there has
never been such spectacle of married
happiness, even in that quiet town. full
OF simple joys, free from unwholesoms
temptations. He used all the power of
his great wealth to surround her with
luxury, TO compensate her for what she
had suffered through her youthful folly
and impulsiveness. The Lanier man
sion was thrown open, and there was
something doing all the time. The old
young bridegroom was intensely proud
OF his old-young bride, and his old
fashioned, stately courtesy toward her

Toned Colonial house, with its wide,
lofty halls and rooms and its air of the
last century. 1t has been short term

Taylor White contributes 10 the
Zooiogist an account OF the kea, a dull
green bird OF the parrot type. known
as Nestor notabilis. whose sheep-kill-
Ing propansities have lately attracted
much attention. Alfred Russell Wal

Zealand mountains before the kea had

kea. he says. could not have deserted
It's berries. for II is only found above
the forest line. where berries do not
grow. lis food consists naturally
chiefly OF liehens on stones. aud Il hit
on the practices OF killing sheep In all

Was found that some sheep. which
had missed steering and had long
wool. would die in the night. and on
skinning q small round hole far down
the back would be discovered. For q
long time the cause Of this was I'M
known. but one day the kea was caught
IN the act. and theneeforth ita pro-
ccedings wcre closely watched. The
kea's habit Of killing sheep and seek
ing out the kidney TAT has been held
up AZ one Of the most striking instances
Of rapid adaptation: but Mr.. White
thinks the adaptation was occasioncd
b. the resemblance OF the long and
possibly frozen wool 10 the lichens on
which the birds feed. The parrot. Il
seems, never touches the kidney fat

the reason for ITS choosing spot far

could not be reached there. and that
the position and the long hair gave u
a purchase during the frantic efforts
which the victim made 70 escape.

was about to be married when the war
came on. and he felt that he must go
to the front. His bosom friend was
young man named James Sering. also
good looking, but of too uncertain
health TO risk the dangers Of campaign
ing. When young Lanier marched away
he left his fiancee in charge of James
Sering, to keep the other young men
away and to talk to her about her alb
sent, glory-seeking, country-defending
lover. The result was the natural and
always to be expected one. James Sc
ring won and hastily married the beau
tiful girl, and Alex Lanier came back
changed man. Lanier said very little
about it, and people soon thought that
he had forgotten her. The marriage
turned out badly. For twenty years
the girl who had Tilted young Lanier
had to work to support a drunken, dis
solute, jealous husband and the one
child that came, a girl, who grew up to
be as beautiful as her mother. As the
years passed, Mrs. Servings beauty did
not fade. The way she kept her smooth,
clear complexion and brilliant eyes and
abundant hair and youthful figure was
the amazement of everybody and the
envy of all the women. She looked like
an elder sister of her daughter. when
her daughter was woman grown.
They lived in Indianapolis.
All these years, while his brother
Charles was becoming man Of note in
New York, Alex Lanier was leading the
life of a recluse in the big old Lanier
mansion in Madison. One of his sisters
had married Judge Crayens, of Madi-
son. prominent democrat, and her sons
were, one at a time. companions of the
peculiar old bachelor in his hermitage.
Even in Indianapolis stories of his life of
luxury there were told; how he import
ed his own groceries from abroad; how
he had fish especially caught in the
lakes of Minnesota and shipped by
quick express: how he forced all kinds
of fruit in his expensive lighthouses in

Ice rombs In the Alps.

A skeleton has been found in one of
the assures of the Ademello glacier, In
the southern Tyrol, which is thought
to be that of an American tourist OF the
name of Ruth, who disappeared in 1890.
These assures cleave glaciers at all
angles and 1t is very easy to slip into
one of them. When once in 1t is hard
ly possible to get out without outside
help. And the warmth of the body
melts the ice around, so that the victim
slowly descends by his own weight into
the depths of the glacier and generally
starves to death. On looking into these

West Virginia Girl Handles Pistol with
One of the most remarkable duels in
history occurred at Eagle, W. Va. Last
Wednesday Erwin Hartley saw his
sweetheart. Bette Shields, with an
other young man, and demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. The explanation was given,
but 1t was not satisfactory and he de-
clared he would make trouble for her.
Sunday, after brooding over it for
three days, Hartley decided to shoot
Miss Shields. He met her on the street
and, pulling his pistol, fired. The first
bullet cut the skin of Miss Shields
neck, whereupon she pulled pistol
which her brother had lent her and fired
three shots, each of them taking effect
and making wounds which may result
fatally. Hartley fred three more shots
at the girl. but none of them took eff
feet. Miss Shields has not been ar
rested and is not likely to be.
