A Serious Accident.

Reinhold Frederick was accidently
shot in the hand Sunday, while out
hunting in company with his father
and uncle. The party went up the
lakes and had stopped at the spring
on Eagle lake near Scattering Rice to
rest, and the gun carried by the boy,
was in some unaccountable manner
discharged, the charge striking him
in the right hand. He was brought
to town and Drs. Sanborn and New
lille found it necessary to amputate
the four fingers of the right hand at
the knuckles, and also had to remove
some powder from the right side OF
his face. It is wonder that the boy
wasn't killed.
The accident was great misfortune
to the boy, who is only IA years OF
age, as it being the right hand it will
leave him in a hard position through
the balance of his life. Reinhold is
resting easy, to the qualification Of
his many friends.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

With the completion of the canvass
in Minnesota the official figures of the
popular vote for president on Nov.
last became available. They show
that Mckinley received 1870, ,t03 votes
and Bryan $685., ,431. Thus Bry an in
1900 received 6s, ,665 more votes than
were given the Bryan and SewaA tick
ct in 1896, and 1853, ,642 less than the
combined vote for the Bryan and Sew
ell and Bryan and Watson ickets in
1896. The pr hibition vote in 1900
was 2o7, ,125, as compared with 13O, ,6ss
in 1896. The social labor ticket re-
ceived 81, ,OO7 votes in 1900, an increase
of 462 over the vote for the ticket OF
that party in 1896.
The total vote increased in four
years only 29,s44. This was due to
the heavy losses in the vote of south
ern states, which unbalanced the
gains in the north. The heaviest /" e.
crease was in Texas, where 122, ZOO
less ballots were cast in 1900 than il.
1896. Other heavy losses in the totaI
were: Tennessee, 4s,s46; Alabama
81 1857; North Carolina, 37,l69; Louis
lana, 2S,142; Virginia, 29,l69; Arkan
sas, 81 ,635.

Another Iowa fair has joined the
silent majority. The Belle Plaine
Union describes the end: ".The fate
of the Big Four Fair association was
sealed last Saturday when j. Q. Mil

closed deal with Jacob Wertley for
the transfer of the land and buildings
to the latter for ths sum of $500,
$500 being deposited with Mr.. Miner
as guaranty of good faith. There
is mortgage on the property and
debts of the association which when
settled will leave some 81 400 to be
divided among the stockholders of
the association, who will get back
third of the amount they invested in
the association. Such condition
will be very satisfactory to many of
the stockholders who never expected
to see a cent of their money again."
