HAND HURT.
Tom GiIehrist Meets with Painful Ac-
cIdent at Planning Will

Tom Gilchrist, employed in the Os-
kaloosa planning mill, met with very
painful and serious accident about
nine o'clock Monday morning. He
was operating morticing machine
and through "carelessness" as he
himself expressed it, his right hand
came under the stroke of the power
driven chisel. 1t descended five times
upon the back of the hand before the
machine could be stopped and five
gashes two inches long and deep into
the flesh were made. The extensor
tendon of the middle finger was all
but severed and had to be sewed to-
gether. In addition to this nineteen
stitches we're necessary to properly
close the wounds. Mr.. Gilchrist was
hurried to the Office OF DR.. L. A.
Rogers. DR.. II. O. Homer was called
in assistance and the gentlemen
dressed the wound. 1t will be several
weeks before Mr.. Gilchrist will be
able to do any thing with the hand.

BIG BARN BURNED.
Will Sheppard's Feed and Sup
ply Stable Destroyed.

The hay and feed barn situated be-
tween Second and Third avenues and
owned by Win Sheppard, recently
purchased from H. q. Browning, was
totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing. The aggregate loss viii be in the
neighborhood five hundred dollars.
The loss of the building will be about
$3.50 and the stock of hay and straw
about the same. The wood at the
north OF the barn caught fire but was
little damaged.
The fire is said to have been started
by little boy between four and five
years old named Walter Richie, a
son of John Richie who lives on
Third avenue west and southeast of
the barn. 1t is said that the little
fellow had a quantity of matches and
in his play about the place with
another boy the fire was started.
Dave Kurtz, No. 604 North d street,
was in the barn unloading straw. His
attention was attracted to the side of
the barn by blaze leaping from the
place where was kept the bedding
used in stabling the mule teams kept
about the yard. He ran for bucket
of water but the flames spread so
rapidly in the highly infamable
material OF the barn that this was of
no avail. BY the time he had returne d
with his water the flames had shot
through the lower part of the barn
and were issuing from the west side.
He had barely time to get his team
out of the place and to release the
other animals that were in the stable
rooms. The fire alarm was turned in
quickly and the company responded
in very short time. Three lines of
hose were laid and three streams of
water played on the fire but it was
hot and burned so rapidly that moth
ing could be done other than Let it
burn its self out. Fred White, fore
man of the yard, was also in the yard
at the time the flames started but he
was poWerless to do any thing to
arrest the progress of the fire. The
barn was full Of baled hay and straw
and the heat from the burning
material was so intense that it was
impossible for the firemen to get as
close as they desired to fight the fire.
The intense black smoke made by
the fire drew large crowd to the
place. There were several car loads
of hay and the same of baled straw
in the place and about a wagon load
each of corn and oats The loss is
fully cover, by insurance.
AS a rule there were six teams
stabbed in the building but at the
time the fire broke out FIVE of them
were in use. The extra harnesses
we're destroyed and there are several
other minor losses.

AN OLD POSTER.
RaiIroadIng In Iowa IN the Days OF
t'Used 20 be',


Messrs w. H. Riley, chief clerk OF
the freight department. on the Iowa
Central In this city, and j. A. Lucy,
ticket clerk were rummaging through
some ancient papers etc. that they
found stored away in the freight
house the other day aud they came
upon an old poster ofthe Rock Island
route that is something OF curious
i ity in these days Of the modern rail
! road system when one may board a
palace car in New York City and go
| to San francisco without any change
/ of cars. The poster was of day
when the cars of one system OF road
were never allowed upon the territory
and track of any other company.
/ Change of carsn was an inconven-
fence of travel that was dreaded by
everyone and when the Rock Island
company were enabled to announce,
"Chicsgo to Iowa City without
change of cars, wonderful stride
/ in advance of all competitors had
been made. But the thing that was
, most wonderful to announce was the
/ fact that the Rock Island had the
only bridge across the Mississippi
river.
The poster was done in colors and
is a fine piece of work for that day,
no doubt. The dates of 1857 and 1858
appear at the top.
There is a print of the bridge that
was built by the company between
Davenport and Rock Island and be-
low this a map of Illinois and Iowa
showing the wonderful advantages Of
the road in having a direct route
from Chicago to Iowa City and
Washington. The routes to Council
Bluffs and to Oskaloosa were then in
contemplation and are designated on
the map by dotted lines.
The lettering on the poster among
other things informs the public thus
ly:
Chicago and Rock Island, Peoria
and Bureau Valley, Mississippi and
Missouri Railways.
The only railroad bridge across the
Mississippi river.
The great western mail and pas
senger route.
Chicago to Iowa City without
change of cars.
Three through passenger trains
daily for Joliet, LaSalle, Peoria, Rock
Island and Davenport, Muscatine,
Columbus City, Iowa City, Central
Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas, etc. etc.
The poster bears the official sane
ton of w. L. st. John, general ticket
agent and John F. Tracy, general
superintendent.
Mr.. Lucey has the poster displayed
in his office at the Central passenger
station and it may be seen there by
any interested parties.

BOX ELDER BUG.
New Insect Pest Appears I'm the city.
Damaging 20 Trees,

There is new bug in town. 1t is
commonly known as the "box elder
bug, on account of its habits being
on the box elder trees, which it de-
stroys in time, sucking the sap and
life therefrcEp. The bug is designat-
ed by entomoIogists as the leptocoris
trivittatus. tits also sometimes call
ed the "Indian bug" on account of
its peculiar appearance. The bugs
are a bright red with streaks and
patches of black and are from an
eighth to half an inch in length. The
bugs are becoming very numerous
hereabout and in other parts of the
state. They breed rapidly and live in
great communities on the box elder
trees. They also attack other vege-
tation and fruits sucking the sap and
juices therefrom. The bug is other
wise harmless but is nevertheless
nuisance when it gets into the houses.
Thewpest should be exterminated
else it will become terrible nuisance.
The work should commence immedi-
ately as the bugs are still breeding
and next aeason will develop millions
of them. The bugs may be effectual
ly removed by spraying the infested
vegetation with an emulsion of rs
per cent kerosine and rs per cent
soap suds. A coal oil bath is a very
effectuRl means of killing the bugs.
The eggs that are being laid now will
produce millions of the bugs next
season and timely war should be
made on them.
