Met With serious Accident.

Webster City. May ga man named
Clyde Bonham met with an accident last
night which came near costing him his
life, and as it is he may be a cripple If
he survives his injuries. With his part
ner, a man named Cooley, he boarded
the train at Parkersburg, which is due
here at about 10 o'clock. AS the train.
was approaching the Gepot Bonham:
stepped off. and moment :ater Cooley
also left the train. Not seeing his part
.ners he started back to investigate and
found Ronham lying unconscious with
his head close TO the rail.
The company's physician was called.
BoEham is seriously hurt. The man was
taken tosthe Commercial hotel, where
his partner is caring for him. He talks
some but the talk is of a rambling ma
sture, and he5is unable TO move hs low
err limbs. Just how badly he is injured
is hard to tell, but il is thought he is
hurt internally. In this case the injuries
may be very serious.
Cooley, when asked concerning the
accident, said that the injured man is
but "a years of age. His home is at
5Oelwein, where his father is living.
According to the partners story they
had intended to catch a north bound
freight for Spencer, where they expect
ed TO secure work on the railroad.

Boone. May q. This morning the body
of Miss Mary Olson, aged 10 years, was,
found by her mother floating in their
Dc:s.er::i, dead. AS near as 1aa be learn
ed, Miss Olson must have committed
suicide between s: 80 and 1880 o'clock
last evening. She was employed as a
domestic at the home of Mrs. w. H.
Gallup. 1t has been her custom to re-
turn to her home on Boone and Thir-;
teeEth streets each evening to stayswith1
her mother. Sse returned as usual at
about $3.50 last evening Shortly after
her mother Went into the yard and called
her, but getting no response she waited,
until 10: 80 for her and then retired This
morning about S O'Clock the mother no..
ticed that the cover of the cistern was
partly off. When she went to investi-
gate the grewsome sight of her daugh-l
tiers dead body met her eyes. Her
screams brought neighbor. Mr..
Charles Euhler, to the scene, who, as
sisted by Mr.. Jayson Gallup. removed
the dead girl from her watery grave.
The mother was so distracted that she
would not permit the dead body 10 be
taken into the house. The remains were
taken to the morgue.
Last January a brother Of the dead
girl. Ole Olson, died and shortly after
the father John Olson. left town. leav-
ing the mother and daughter and an
other brother, at present foreman of
the Ames Times, and asister. IT pres
ent with the Salvation Army in ST.
Louis.
1t was noticed by Miss Olson's
friends and by her employer, that she
was not quite herself and appeared to
/ be brooding over family troubles dur
ling the past few weeks. Being despond-
lent, she undoubtedly in fit of melan-
choly. thought TO end all her troubles
by suicide. AS the cistern was only
\ five feet deep and contained only four
fleet of water. she must have de- iberia te-
4 ly held herself under the water inorder
Ito accomplish her rashsact. The coro-
ner is holding an inquest.

There was bad wreck at the

the turning loose of four cars, at
the crossing, where a switch con-
meets with the main track of the

The cars came rushing down the
switch, which is down grade from

narrow gauge road a few yards
below, and completely tearing up
the track for a distance of about
thirty feet. Two of the cars were
loaded with coal and two of them
with wood. The brakeman had
to jump off in order to save his
life. One of the coal cars flew
clear across the track to the other
side, falling down OH its side and
spilling the coal down the en-
bankment. 1t cut its way through
the iron railing, demolishing
the road bed and breaking the
wheels on the side that struck
the ground. The other coal car
stopped on the track, blocking
up the narrow gauge road and
standing square across it.

The Meeting or the State AL
lance.

We attended the meeting OF
the State Alliance as noticed in
Saturdays ENTERPRIsE. Maj B.
F. Miller went down on Tuesday
the Oath, to attend the meeting
of the Trustee stockholders of the
State Exchange. The writer went
down On the 18th, Wednesday.
When we arrived in company
with Bros. Wilburn and Ash of
York, the Trustee stockholders
were discussing the question as
to whether or not the State Ex.
change should be desolved and
the money returned to the orig
inal contributors. Lancaster was
in favor of continuing the Elk
change and Bro. Miller led the
fight on that side and we won
the victory. The Exchange still
lives and we hope to continue to
buy our fertilizers and bagging
and ties through that channel as
heretofore. Lancaster has been
using the Exchange and knows
it's value. Those who were anx-
ious to have the Exchange dis.
continued were from counties
that have not used the Exchange
enough to know its value. The
State Alliance had a very inter
esting meeting. The old officers
were re elected. A good deal of
was manifested over
the fact that the Exchange is
to be continued.

How any man with smattering
knowledge of the past and pres

put on the face to make such a
declaration, is beyond my COM

of the fact that Strait at his first

guide me in the prediction that
"Strait" will sweep the district

which contributed largely to his
defeat in the last "Congressiona al

cially the "Our Johnny" incident.

eyes of McLaurin's devotees has
been torn asunder by bis own

of a few years ago, curse him to-
