A SERIOUS FALL.
Thomas LiIley Injured While Return
inn From a Dance

tiiOIIi0S LiiiVJ WING
ing From Dance.
Thomas Lilley, who lives in Graves
town, while returning home from the
Redmen's ball about o'clock this
morning slipped on the steps at the
armory hall and fell striking full upon
his face The end of Mr.. Lilleys nose
was torn off, and the skin on his low
er jaw was badly cut. He was re-
moved to Dr.. Williams Office and the
latter responding to the call attend.
ed the injuries and later sent Mr.. Lii.
ley home.
Mr.. Lilley had purchased a number
of articles at the dance and was carry.
ing them home to his children. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Lilley, and
just as he passed out into the stair
way at the armory he did not see the
first step. In falling he slid to the
bottom of the first landing striking on
his nose and chin. The end of the
nose was taken off as carefully as
though it had been done by a surgeons
knife, and the skin on the lower Jaw
was cut distance of several inches
and was turned back as nicely as
though it had been done for the pur
pose of an operation The man was
a horrible looking sight when DR., Viii
liams responded to the call to attend
to him, and it took much work on the
part of the physician to dress the
wounds and get Mr.. Lilley in condi
ton to be sent home. Today he is re
ported to be doing as well as could be
expected.

TOBE SHORT SESSION
Opinion Of Hon. A. w. Buchanan
in Regard to Legislature.
HON. ". l. EATON FOR SPEAKER
ottumwa Legislator Expects He viii
Receive the Election by Acclama-
tion-Thinks He is the Man for the
Place-Much Important Business.

Hon. A. w. Buchanan, representa-
tive to the legislature from Wapello
county, believes the coming session of
that body will be short one. He al.
so believes that Hon. w. l.. Eaton, of
Usage, will be the next speaker of the
house, and that Mr.. Eaton will be
will go to Des Mones within a few
weeks to make arrangements for his
Istay during the coming session, and
look after what legislation he is in
terested in. Mr.. Buchanan said to a
Courier representative today, that if
Mr.. Eaton had good luck in preparing
his committees and if he would be
able to announce them as soon as the
would last over sixty-tive or seventy
days.
Favors Eaton.
Mr. Buchanan is heartily in favor of
Mr.. Eaton for speaker. He says the
Usage man is the logical candidate for
the place and he believes that he will
be elected by unanimous vote on the
part of the republicans. There is con-
siderable history attached to Mr.. Eat
ons desire to be speaker. 1t will be
remembered that he came within four
votes of defeating DR.. Bowen two
years ago. AT that time Mr.. Eaton
was strong and active candidate and
commanded much strength. When the
final test came. however, Bowen re-
ceived forty-two votes and Eaton
could muster blu thirty-eight.
A Brilliant Speaker.
Mr.. Buchanan expects that Eaton
will make brilliant speaker. He is
one of the best known attorneys OF
Mitchell county and has gained a
strong reputation all over northern
Iowa. Mr.. Buchanan believes that he
will preside over the house with much
dignity and that he will be man who
will rush the business through, and
not allow the dilly-dallying that has
been so common in years gone by.
Much Business.
Mr.. Buchanan expects to see con
siderable business transacted at the
coming session. He believes that the
redistricting idea will command g
great deal of attention, but he was moi
prepared to announce his position or
that question. He is rather inclined
! to the belief that the state Is wei

ESCAPED FROM COUNTY FARM.
Louis Henning Comes Back to the City
Captured Here.

Louis Henning, who was sent to the
county farm about month ago, charg-
ed with being insane made his escape
from that institution yesterday. He
made his way back to his old home in
this city, and this morning his wife
took him to the Office of DR.. Sprague
for instructions. Here Chief Gray was
notified and he took Henning in
charge. turning MIN over to Sheriff
SHUTS where he was later returned
to the county farm. While Henn:ng
was hopelessly insane he was harm
less, but it was thought best to place
him where he would be well taken care
of, as it was feared he could not care
for himself.

N. MORRlSSEY HURT.
Falls From Second Story Of City
Hall.
HIS INJURIES ARE VERY SERIOUS
In Attempting to Slide Down Fire.
mems Pole, He Lost His Hold and
Dropped Fifteen Feet-Roth Ankles
and Knee Injured.

Mike Morrissey, day sergeant at the
police station, received injuries yes
terday afternoon that will keep him
from duty at least month. Mr.. Nor
rissey was in the firemen's room at the
city hall, when he heard a call in the
police station. He ran to the pole,
down which the firemen drop when
answering alarms, and in tryslg to get
down too fast, he did not catch the
pole properly. AS result he dropped
a distance of about fifteen feet, and
badly sprained both ankles and his
right knee. No bones were broken
but the ligaments were so badly bruis-
ed and torn that the injuries will keep
Mr.. Morrissey off his feet for a long
time.
Refused Aid.
The accident happened about 4
o'clock. At first Morrissey refused to
believe that he was badly hurt and
attempted to resume his work as SER
geant. The longer he remained, how
ever, the more painful his injuries be-
came, and although he would not al
low physician to be called, Chief
Gray ordered a carriage and had him
conveyed to his home. Before he left
the station his injured limbs had swol.
len badly and it was feared some of
the bones of the ankle were broken.
After Mr.. Morrissey had been sent
home, his wounds became much more
painful, and he was soon forced to
| take to his bed. AS the evening wore
on the pain increased, when about
midnight, the members of his family
called DR.. Williams. The physician
on responding found that the liga
ments on both of Mr. Morrissey's an
kles We're badly bruised and torn, and
also the right knee was bruised and
greatly swollen. He did all that was
possible to relieve the sufferings of the
injured man, and today he is doing as
well as could be expected.
A Marrow Escape.
The escape of Mr.. Morrissey from
the receipt of broken limb was mi,
raculous. He is very heavy man
weighing over 200 pounrs and as his
body struck the floor it sounded as
though the whole second story had
fallen in. AS it is the injuries he re-
ceiyed will keep him off his feet fol-
at least month, and it is doubtful II

JAMES LOVES MONEY.
The Old Man Divides Up His Es-

James Love lost no time yesterday,
on being freed from the spendthrift
trust, in making disposition of his
property. He made a trust deed and
filed it with the recorder, providing
that Mrs. Hart shall get half of the
estate and the other half shall go to
Loves son in Japan, when the old man
dies. The life estate in the King street
residence, worth about $4,000, was con-
veyed to Mrs. Hart, and Mrs. Roe was
given the Emma street property, in
consideration for her care of the old
man during the years of the spend
thrift trust.
The rest of Loves property valued
at S5O,0 900, he deeds to George A. Davis
as trustee. There is a mortgage of
$4,000 TO be paid off and the sum of
about $4,000 is due to Magoon. Love
wants $4,000 in cash himself and attor
neys' fees will cost him another $4,000.

After the brightest conquest, what re-

OF all thy glories? For the vanquish'd

For the proud victor-what? Alas! to
reign
Ger desolated nations drear waste.
By one mans crime, by one mans lust
ofpow'r,
Unpeopled! Naked plains and ravaged
fields
Succeed to smiling harvests and the
OF peaceful olive luscious fig and

Here-rifled temples are the cavern'd
dens
OF savage beasts, or haunts of birds
obscene;
There-populous cities blackened in

And in the general wreck proud pal
Lie undistinguished, save by the dun
smoke
Of recent confagration! When the
song
OF dear-bought joy, with many tri-

Salutes the victors ear, and soothes
his pride
How is the grateful harmony profaned
With the sad dissonance of virgins
cries,
Who mourn their brothers slain! OF

Who clasp their wither'd hands, and
fondly ask
With iteration shrill-their slaughter'd
sons!
How is the laurel's verdure stain'd
with blood,
And solid with widows tears!
