Serious Accident.

While exercising horses yester-
day morning, Jack Dunsford, a
Canadian, met with injuries which
will probably prove fatal.
Dunsford was riding out along
on Beretania street leading another
horse. The latter SHE'D at an
approaching car while near the
home of II. w. Schmidt and pulled
back suddenly, Dunsford was pull
ed off his horse by sudden jerk
of the led horse. His head struck
the ground with great force and he
remained where he fell in totally
unconscious condition.
He was assisted in so far as II
was possible by people who hap
pened to be in the vicinity when
the accident occurred. Later he
was taken to the hospital. Elk
animation proved that a blood
vessel at the base of the skull had
been ruptured. The top OF the
skull was trephaned and a small
button of bone taken out. From
this nearly pint of blood flowed
At a late hour last night Duns-
ford was In a dangerous condition
It will be marvel if he succeeds
in pulling through.

IN THE BEGINNING

Of the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins to break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the would devoted
exclusively to the preparation of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?

THE W. F. BABC0CK.
Sailors Do Not Like the Way They
Are Treated.
Two Men Corroborate the Statements
Publ1shed-NO Relief for Men
Regularly Shipped.

The editorial department of the
ADVERTISER had two callers yester-
day who wanted to know who
wrote the article defamatOry to the
mate of the ship w. F. Babcock.
The calls were made after an even
ing paper had published an inter
view with the mate of the vessel.
"There is but one fault to be
found with the report in the Bull
letin," said one of the visitors,
sand that is that the reporter
seemed to want to whitewash the
officers of the ship rather than to
verify the reports in the Star and
ADVERTISER.
$50 far as the ruptured man is
concerned" continued the caller,
81 saw him and talked with him
and his condition is pitiable; he
said he had tried to procure truss
suitable for his ailment and could
not get one in Honolulu, that the
mate said he would have to go
with the ship anyway but he would
prefer death to continuing on the
voyage.
F'The mate may be a Salvation
Army man but if he is the men on
the ship can't see the joke. l have
no doubt that when he sends the
old G.. A. r. veteran to the main
t'gallant just before the time comes
for a change of watch, and keeps
him there until half the watch is
over, he issues the order with a
cheerful God bless YOU Have
you talked with the mate? well
you should; 60 down some time
when he is putting the men through
a knee drill. There is govern
ment official here who has secured
the papers of this G. A. R. man,
and is going to see what can be
done for him."
The other caller was a water
front man who has been to sea for
years and is now second officer on
an inter-island steamer. His state
ment was to the effect that the
rumor of harsh treatment Of the
men on the w. F. Babcock, was
common, and not without founda-
ton. Sailors are tough citizens,
and have to be handled a little
different from babies, but when
men complain of continued rough
treatment and can get no redress,
it is about time that something was
done for them by people on shore. "
In the ADVERTISER report of the
doings on the Babcock there was
no attempt at coloring what
appeared to be very unpleasant
affair. The information was OBJ
tanned from the sailors if the re-
porter had interviewed the officers
it would no doubt have resulted in
a denial on their part of every
charge made.
The case of the old "war horse
that shipped on the vessel was
discussed in the G.. A. r. post last
night and the committee from that
body will see the captain of the
ship and ask his discharge that is
all that can de done. The man
was regularly shipped at San Fran
cisco and it will be merely an act
of courtesy on the part OF the
captain to let him go.

B~LACKBURN'S PLAN.
A Delay of the Vote Until Representa-
tive Wilson's Successor Qualities
Two Seats Are Contested.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 12.-The Com
mercial Gazette's special from Frank
fort, KY, says: Since the nonaina-
ton of Senator Blackburn by the
Democratic caucus, and of Congress
man Godfrey Hunter by the Republi-
q caucus, there is a bitter political
fight for election of Senator. Black
burn and his friends are attending the
burial of Representative Wilson.
Hunter has an all-day reception, and
received hundreds of congratulatory
kilograms.
The law provides for ballotiDg the
second Tuesday after the assembling
Of the Legislature. Blackburn's friends
say that there will be no joint ballot
Tuesday, January 81. The special
election for Wilson'S successor will be
January 20. The Blackburn men will
have the new Democratic member
here Tuesday, January 81. They in
sist that no ballot will be taken until
he qualities.
In the meantime all interest centers
in the committee considering the con-
tests for the seats of Kaufman and
Tompkins, both Democrats. The at
uitude of the two Populists is also still
watched. Without the Populists and
with Wilson's place filed there is a
tide between the Republicans and the
Democratic. The Committee OF Elec-
tions was selected by lot. Whatever
may be the finding of the committee,
the fight will be on the adoption of the
committees report. II two Demo-
Gratis are unseated, Hunter will have
no further trouble, but the indications
are that there will be a long struggle.
Blackburn men decided and announc-
cd that they will ilibuster on any at
tested seats previous to Wilson's sue
cessor being seated. There is no doubt
about q free silver Democrat being
elected in Wilson's place from Nelson
county.

CUNNING FOR A PREACHER.
The Reverend Gentleman Heard OF His
Danger and Started.

FULTON, Mo-, January 13.-Rev. ID.
r. Evans, a well-known minister OF
the Baptist Church, who resides a few
miles northwest of Stephens Store in
this county, made, it is alleged, an
indecent proposal to Mrs. Monk De-
vers, a near neighbor, and a member
of his church. She reported the fact
to her husband, who armed himself
and went cunning for the preacher.
Mike Bright, a neighbor, learned that
Devers was on the warpath, and went
to the Rev. Mr.. Evans and told him
that Devers was after him and that if
he was innocent of the charge to stand
his ground, but if he was guilty he had
best skip out of the way.
Mr.. Evans left at once for parts un-
known. Mrs. Devers is an estimable
lady, and Evans, who is about go years
old, with a wife and family of grown
children, is not only a popular minis
ter in the Baptist Church, but is an
extensive farmer and stock raiser,
and has always maintained a high
character as a citizen. He is a Welsh
man and seven years ago became a
member of the Little Boone Femme
Association, and at the time of his de-
parture had in charge the Rising Sun:
Prairie Fork and Nashville Churches.
He is a small, plump-faced, jolly fell
low, and, although he talks with quite
a brogue, he is a fine conversational
list. The entire neighborhoQd is fear
fully stirred up over the affair and the
misconduct of the preacher is the talh
of the country. Since his trouble witt
Mrs. Devers he has been charged with
undue familiarity by a number Of
young ladies of his church.

The question of using the old
foundry building was discussing and
was favorably commented upon by
all present. Mr.. Adamson said that
he would be willing to start up In that
building, provided some needed re-
pairs were made, and also that the
floor would have to be SO raised that
a current of air could sweep under it
all the time in order to keep the
looms dry. He said that if these i'm
provements were made on the build
ing he would be willing to start here
if the stockholders in the foundry
would grant him a five years lease
on the building, and he would ask no
cash bonus whatever.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
j. II. Buckley, j. W. Platt, S. NJ. Locke
and B. R. Cauthorn; was then ap-
pointed to see the stockholders of the
foundry and ascertain their wishes in
the matter, and also to correspond
with Mr.. Adamson on the subject. 1t
certainly seems that this would be q
splendid way to use the old foundry
building, which at present is doing no
one any good.
In the course of some later remarks
Mr.. Adamson said that, although he
supposed they would have to buy
their wood from st. Louis at first, yet
he thought after they had been here
about a year they could use home
lumber to a great extent. After a
short discussion of the whole subject,
in which all who took part seemed
pleased with the proposition, the
meeting was adjourned at 10 o'clock.

AUDRAIN's GROWING RICHES.
The Past Eighteen Years Have Added
Much to the Wealth of the County
Al Few Interesting Statistics.

During the past eighteen years.
since 1875, Audrain county has steadily
increased in valuation, not only IN
land, but also in stock, notwithstand-
ing the marked decrease in the price az
the latter in tins time. A table Of thu.
assessed valuation, published in 1875
shows that at that time the total VAIN
alton of the county was So, 30s, s5s.
while IN 1896 the total is 81, a4s, 800, or
an increase of $685., 947 ,or over 40 per
cent.
In 1878 the total valuation of town
lots in the county was $500, $40, while
at the present time it is 81, 200 $40, an
increase of sos, 200 or over 1850.
which shows how our towns have
been built up in the last eighteen;
years.
The total valuation OF live stock ii,
1873 was S524,4l1, while in 1895 it Il
sos, 100, an increase of S2s4,6ss Or
over As which is much greater than
the others, when the fact that the
price of live stock has decreased
greatly, is considered. 1t is this steady
growth of riches that makes Audrsin
county the best in the State.
