Tried Suicide.

There was an attempt at suicide at a
home on Avenue B, West, last Friday
evening, The would-be suicide was
Mrs. James Harrington of 4ao. The
attempt grew out of domestic difficulties
The husband, as we'll as can be learned,
protested against her going into certain
company, as well as taking his grown
daughter, when she was preparing to go
to the reunion festivities that evening.
The wife took the rebuke so severely
that she went to a shelf and turned the
contents of bottle of carbolic acid
down her throat DR.. Hutchinson was
hastily called by the husband and imme-
diately commenced operations to offset
the effects Of the poison. BY this time
the woman was willing to assist him,
She was very badly burned by the acid
from her throat to her stomach, but not
so bad that she will not recover, Mr.
Harrington is very hard working man
and his family have been well respected
This very foolish act is greatly deplored
by all concerned.

School Districts In a sauappIe

When Stryker was State supernten-
dent he commenced in agitation for the
consolidation Of country school districts,
the establishment Of graded schools, and
the transportation Of the pupils for the
longer distances. This view has OBJ
tanned favor very largely among our best
educators, but for some reason the peo
pie in most places do not take kindly to
it. Last winter the legislature. against
the will of the people of the districts in
most places it is said, disorganized a
number Of school districts in this county
and attached their territory to the terri
tory of the districts of the small towns.
Two districts in the neighborhood Of
Butler were attached to the BUTLER dis
trict. A couple OF districts were also
attached to the Haven district One OF
two districts were attached to the Nick
erson district and the same with the dis
trict in which Abbeyville is located II
is claimed these bills were worked
through the legislature without consult
ing the wishes CT the people concerned
or against their will. Those affected in
the Haven district went into court to
test the constitulionalty of the acts and
it is claimed the other districts affected
we're 10 take no further action till the
case is decided upon. But some Of the
people near Buhler aver that the BUTLER
people are trying to move their school
house and appropriate the property Of
the old districts and have applied to the
district court for an injunction and re-
straining order,

An old veteran has been at the Stew
art hospital suffering from an ampu-
tated arm which was not the result of a
wound in the army, but Of one received
in an accident on the way to the reunion.
The man is Samuel Proctor, of Kinsley.
He started to the reunion one day last
week on the local that runs on the Kins-
ley branch. He was sitting in one Of
the passenger cars with his arm resting
in the window when the side door of
the car ahead, which was a stock car,
came off its fastenings and the corner
of it struck in the window in which he
was resting his elbow. 1t scraped the
flesh from his wrist upward and so
mashed the bone that an amputation
was necessary. Mr.. Proctor is man
about seventy years of age and such an
amputation is a severe shock for one Of
his age to undergo. But at last report
he was doing we'll.

Almost Fatal Runaway.

There was a runaway down Main
Street on Monday forenoon that at its
climax looked to those who saw 1t like
the writing Of the last Of the biography
of the one woman who held the lines,
The horse was driven to the delivery
wagon Of the Hainline grocery on Sher-
man street East. 1t was driven by Mr.,
Hanlne's daughter. The horse seems
to have been quite fractions Of late and
one day last week ran away with the
driver. Monday morning it started near
Sherman street crossing and ran south
till it came to Avenue A. The girl was
holding bravely to the lines and luckily
was getting the horse checked in his
speed when he made quick turn to the
left up Avenue A. The turn was so
short that 1t threw her from her seat on
the hard stone walk, striking on her back
and sliding till her head struck against
the corner of the brick building. When
she was picked up there was little
thought Of her recovery, as she was
bleeding copiously from wounds on her
head. However she was still conscious
which was taken to mean that the
wounds on her head could not be very
deep or serious enough to have caused
skull fracture, She was taken on a
stretcher to a near by drug store and a
physician was called, who pronounced
her wounds not serious, and wonderful
as it seems she is doing well.

even Of the sure thing kind, be permitted.
And should any one who secures right

Of this sort he will straightway forfeit his
