INSTANT DEATH
FROM LIVE WIRE
Guy Hitchcock, Fireman on the
Rock Island Road, Killed
in Iowa.
WAS VISITING AT POWER STATION
Parents Will Arrive in the Civ
This Evening With the
Remains.

The sad news was received here
last evening that Guy H. Hitchcock,
the well-kuown young fireman on the
Rock Island road, had met death by
electricity at Valley Junction. Iowa.
The parents. Mr.. and Mrs. c. H.
Hitchcock. and Harry, their son, left
on the next train west to bring the
remains home for burial. They are
expected here at Gas this evening.
Details of the accident have been
slow in reaching this point. The un-
fortunate young man left here last
Friday on local freight No. So. with
William Arnold as his engineer. Inc
run regularly ends at Brooklyn but
owing to the fact that the turntable
at that place was out of order, trains
were being run through both ways
No. 53 weat on to Valley junction
and was due to return here tomorrow
evening.
Visits Power Station.
1t appears that Guy, in company
with others, was looking about the
town Yesterday and about in the
evening entered the electric power
station. While there he in some
manner came in contact with live
wire carrying heavy voltage and his
death was instantaneous
The young man was "a years OF age
and had been firing for the past four
years. The greater part of his life
was spent at Stuart, Ia, from which
place he came here with his parents
four years ago. Besides the parents
and brother Harry, one sister, Mrs. E
Wiley, of Des Moines, survives.

THE oLo-TlME EASTER soNNETs

Don't like these Easter bonnets-the ones

With flowers, an birds that seem TO sing
Easter song to you,
-hey're mighty fine in dxin with rainbow
ribbons strung:
They're nuthin' ike the ones they wore
when you an me wuz soung!
The ol'-tlme Easter bonnet-as plain as plain
could be.
With jest two ribbons on it-wuz sweet
enough fer me!
You never see that bonnet now in Easter
winders hung
The bonnet that the dear girls wore when
you an me wuz young.
I've seen 'em on the meetin' -way-those
girls that wore EN-, sweet
AS all the April yIolets that blossomed at
their feet:
An talk bout Easter 1ilies-warn't none o
EN- as fair
As the faces meath them bonnets that the
OF girls used to wear.
The new. girls-course, they're beautiful
like dreams they come and 90;
They're 'bleeged to foller fashion, fer styles
must change. you know;
But this is my c0utendin'--thoughI contends
In vain.
Bcautys more beantifuler beneath bon
net plain!
eckon I'm Off. shioned-fer Time. it
slips away;
An Easter girls We used to love are wrin-
Killed. now an gray:
Yet, Motley re foung forever! an Mem

Bright on the bonnetS that they wore when

The sun was well down the west when
Claybank logged into RoyIston's. Mike
shouted, but, hearing no answer, dis
mounted and turned toward the hut.
There was blood on the ground and a
mans hat lay near a place where moe
casined feet had trampled the ground.
Dasling to the door he found Roylston
in his own room, dead. and mutiiated in a
manner too horrible TO describe.
In moment he saw the whole truth.
The savages had rcfrained from firing
the cabin because it was in view from
the fort. Smoke would draw a troop
down on tfem. He knew. too, that he
must have been noticed and that the trail
to the camp was we'll guarded. Had
they attacked the camp? His heart
stood still as he asked the question.
Great heaven! how could he warn them
and signal the fort for aid? Mike could
think faster than he could talk. In FIVE
minutes he had a fire blazing under the
hut-a fire that sent up black cloud Of
smoke. He knew that he had not done
this thing unseen, and must not linger
He threw himself on Caybank and lash
eel the tired and frightened beast up
the trail for twenty rods. He then sud
denly dismountcd at the crest behind the
willows, and, giving the horse a parting
thwack. plunged on foot into the under

AZ 10 o'clock, however, Jimmy, who was
watching. heard some one approach
breathing heavily. He cooked his rifle,
hut the sound brought quick response:
Don't shoot, it's me- Nike
They unbarred the door with all the
speed they could and Mike staggered
across the door sill. Quickly he was
drawn inside the cabling an, the door re-
barred.

POULTRY POINTERS.

A safe rule in feeding is to give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than q week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance Of
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
a southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance of light.
While wheat IL one Of the best grains
to feed to fowls. IL should not be fed to
excess or it may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains.
Loss Of feathers Is generally caused
by want of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as local
application. use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.
