Remember Neither.

The following, from the Mt. Vernon
Remarker, is worthy of reproduction
in every newspaper iI the land: Don't
forget mother, my boy, don't forget
mother because you have other loves,
and many cares to fill your attention.
Can you not see she is growing old?
More tenderly and more wistfully her
eyes follow you and her heart aches
sometimes for return of the fond
caresses she had given her boy. Her
step is less elastic now. The roses of
her cheek faded, chilled by freezing
breezes of old age. The snow-drifts of
time lie tenderly on her temples The
record of her care for you, of her
troubles and her sorrows are furrowed
upon her face. Some day-it will not
be long-you will walk about the home
with hushed footsteps. Into the dear
old chamber you may steal to bid good
bye to the dear old face so strangely
white. And while you bend over to
catch her parting blessing, the Angel
of Death will glide into her heart and
mother will fall asleep. Then, it may
be, with heart full of remorse for
your neglect, you may seek new
friends, but none can ever fill a
mothers place."

A Painful Accident.

While Peter Meyer was cutting corn
on Tuesday afternoon with silo-cutter,
his left hand was caught in the machine
and was served at the wrist, While the
was running at high rate of
speed, he attempted to force an ear of
corn into he machine and in some
manner his hand came in contact with
the knives and only for his calmness at
that moment he would have lost his
arm. He tried to stop the machine and
had put his right hand on the brake,
but undoubtedly the terrible pain caused
him to loose his grip, and his hand
was severed at the wrist and ground to
pieces ia the silo-cutter. o. G. Gleisner
was with him at the time of the acci-
dent, and with his assistance Peter was
conveyed to the Office of DR.. Wells,
where under the most excruciating
pain the injured member was dressed.
Chloroform was administered, but it
did not have the desired effect and
Peter, like a brave man, passed through
the ordeal very courageously.

Returned From Norway.

Mr.. j. o. Johnson, foreman of the
Luther Publishing House, of this city,
who has been in Norway, visiting, for
the past three months, arrived home
last Friday. As fitting recognition
of his homecoming his friends and
neighbos gathered at his home, on
Washington street, last Saturday, and
gave him o genuine surprise. Many
were the words Of "welcome home, "
and by the friendly Misunderstanding he
was made to feel, like "Farmer John"
that the best of the journey is getting
home.

CONSCIOUS ALL THE TINE
PECK NOW TALKS OF THE ASSAULT
The Victim of the Vicious Assault is
now able to tell how it happened.

CChy thC vi VIC thui
derous assault on the highway over in
Allamakee county, about six weeks
ago, by Kellison, Evans and McDer-
mont, has recovered sufficiently 10 re-
late his experience that night. His
account throws new light on the
affair. The Waukon Democrat of last
week says: County Attorney Stilwell
visited him at his home west of Frank
willie, Sunday, and found him able to
converse quite intelligently of the Incl
dents of the fracas. Peck says he was
conscious the entire time, and he has
been in possession of his senses much of
the time since then, but was unable to
talK owing to the swollen condition of
his tongue and mouth. One of the
kicks or blows administered broke his
front teeth and bruised his mouth pain
fully. He was first attacked in the
buggy, he says, and succeeded in repell-
! ing his assailants Kellison, however,
secured hold on him and dragged him
over the dashboard. The trio assalted
him, but gaining his feet, he landed a
blow on Evans that sent him sprawling.
One of the gang then came up behind,
which one he does not know, and
struck him with something over the
head that crushed his skull, which is
now generally believed to have been
beer bottle. The blow downed him, but
did not render him unconscious. He
was then kicked and numerically
pounded and dragged about by the heels
for time until he was no longer able
to resist. Here his story differs. Evans
did not take him back towards Frank
vile i'm the rig which the three fellows
had. They had started his (Peck's)
horse for home, and getting him on his
feet they walked him in that direction
also, and directed him to follow his
horse. He did so, aud walked the
entire three and one.half miles to
Klemma's, conscious all the while.
His experience is almost without
parallel. Reaching the place where
the road from Klemma's intersected
the read be was on he became con-
fused in the darkness and took that
one instead of the road to Frankville.
He realized he was badly hurt and in
need of aid. He heard dog and fol-
lowed the sound to Klemma's house.
He tried to holler as well as to whistle,
but could do neither. He made a sound,
however, that attracted the attention
of the inmates of the house which
brought them to him. He remembers
being taken to physician, but for
several days thereafter his mind was
blank at times. The wound on his
head has healedove One of his bones
were broken, but his right arm is yet
devoid of strength from the bruises
received. He will be brought here the
latter part of next week to testify
against his assailants.

This language was used by William

You will notice that Mr. Bryan does
not want the vote of "any one who be

Can any one believe otherwise after
witnessing our sound business and
financial prosperity since the Gold
Standard law has been enacted?
Mr.. Bryan made ''promise, to the

Bryan to the Presidency would, there

at I:3o o'clock p. m.
And at the U. B. Church at Castalia,

The aim of these Bible Institutes is
to secure a better knowledge of the
Word of God. The general theme will
be "The English Bible and how to
master it," The International Evangel
of st. Louis speaks thus of Mr. Mar
shalPs work:
at is a pleasure to speak of the
Bible Institutes that have been
conducted i'm and about st. Louis by
Rev. Edward A. Marshall, of the
Moody Bible Institute. In no way, to
our mind are Mr.. Moody's schools
blessed work, than by sending out
such a gifted man as Mr.. Marshall, to
help quicken the churches into a
livelier deeper interest in Bible Study.
Mr.. Marshall's work is the best
combination of educational and
spiritual Bible Study that has come
to our notice. He opens up the Word
in a way to make one remember the
salient points, and his spiritual
applications of divine truth are with
divine power.
Here as in many other cities Mr..
Marshall has been enthusiastically
received and his Bible addresses
warmly appreciated by ministers and
laymen and Sunday school teachers.
He is young man of fine presence, a
speaker of interest and power and Il
devout and able teacher"
