Serious Accident.

Ida Dettmar, the year old daugh-
ter of ex-Infrmary Director Edward
Dettmar, of Monroe township, met
with an accident last Thursday
afternoon that may necessitate
the amputation of the thumb of her
right hand. Mr.. Dettmar had been
grinding feed for his stock with a
horse power grinder. He had oc-
casion to leave the machine for a
few moments when the little girl
started to amuse herself by dropping
articles into the hopper and watch
them being ground up. She noticed
something in the knives that would
not pass through and reached down
to get it. The knives caught her
hand and drew it in. Her screams
attracted the attention of Mr..
Dettmar and the machine was
stopped. The little girls hand
was Inangled in terrible manner.
The wound was dressed by Drs.
Maerker and Heller, who think that
the fingers may all be saved although
she will loose the use of some of them.

The Painters Warming.

Harvest will soon be here and so
will all the little fles. Now if any of
you expect or intend having any out
side painting done soon, we would
caution you to have it done right
away. AS soon as these little flies
make their appearance they are sure
to be attacked and stick to the fresh
paint. This does not only spoil the
looks of the paint but they produce
u chemical change which destroys
it's lasting qualities. Saur & Balsley
have large quantities of fresh paints
on hand which they are selling very
cheap and which they guarantee to
give satisfaction. At this house you
can get paints in any shade or color
and in any quantity, large or small.

Oil Well Shot.

The oil well near West Hope, this
county, was shot last Friday after
noon. The shot took place about
three o'clock, 100 quarts of nitro
glycerine being exploded. Consid-
erable oil and salt water was thrown
out by the force but as soon as that
was expended nothing but gas came
from the hole. Pumping was COM
menced with but little or no success,
showing that the well is practically a
failure.

Particular People.

Our customers are partlcu-
lar people, and we are glad of
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist upon per-
fection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best ma
terials and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of now we can sell first
class stock at a price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection of our
stock of drugs and medicines.
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de-
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to the animal king
dom as we'll. We keep none
but what we can recommend,
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand, SO
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a fact that
many lives are sacred, and
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock Of
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc
lection of our paints, oils and
brushes. We are the oldest
house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have
this class of goods down pat.
We keep no inferior paints or
oils, and it is for that reason
wherever you see paint spread
that comes from our store it is
always found to wear well and
is first class in all particulars.
Our wall paper and window
shade dept has a we'll estab'
lished reputation, and we are
as particular of this depart
ment as we are Of any other in
our mammoth store Styles
and patterns have never been
more pretty than they are
now, and as to prices you can
paper your entire home for

cheapness OF our paper Will

er you wish to purchase or

Perhaps few people have thought
of it, but the influence of the bicycle
is felt in nearly all lines of business.
A good wheel costs from $75 to $100,
and in order to own one nearly every
person is obligated to economize by
doing without something else. Thus
the cost of the bicycle is taken from
the regular trade, and this influence
is felt along the whole line of busi-
ness, and even the summer girl com
plains that the young man who has re-
Gently purchased a wheel is not very
liberal in the purchase of ice cream
and soda water, and as for buggy
rides they are not thought of any
more.
