A sad accident happened Sunday
evening to Joseph Jarosh's boy who
was shot accidentally in the leg with
a rifle ball which may prove quite
serious. Some boys from Protiyin
and Cresco brought three rifles and
were shooting all the afternoon, final
ly they placed the last cartridge in
one gun when one of them informed
the Others that there was plenty of
cartridges in the buggy, at which the
boys went to see leaving the loaded
gun on the ground, little boy came
over, picked up the gun and the next
thing his big brother yelled: II am
shot!" The ball entered his thigh
and stayed there and the boy was un-
able to stand. The doctor was sent
for; we have not learned his opinion.
These same boys while going home
from Mr.. Jarosh's kept banging and
firing all the way. When they drove
past Frank Klimesh's farm he was in
his corn field, the balls whistled right
and left by him. The writer was
there at Mr.. Klimesh's and knows
this to be fact. 1t is about time to
separate the boy from the gun even if
he is 16 or 20 years old. They are
more careless then. BLUFF.

The number of entries received indi-
Gates that all departments will be
full, except possibly the Agricultural
and Horticultural depar tments, which
owing to the unfavorable season, may
not be up to the average, and yet this
should prompt the farmers of Iowa to
make special effort to show what Iowa
can do in drouth year, and if they
do this, as they can do it, there will
be good display even in those de-
partments.
All stock departments promise to
be we'll represented and more entries
are now made than is usual for the
time of year.
Special efforts have been put forth
looking to the comfort of the public,
