Plymouth Rock is the most COM
pletely played out village we ever
drove into. The bridge across the
Iowa and the farmers in the country
about are the only permanent things
to per2etuate its memory. The farm
erS about there are prosperIng, large
crops, an abundance Of hogs, horses
and cattle have made them prosper
Gus. At Mrs. McCabes we drove
through at leastone mile of a corn
Held beside other crops in like pro-
portion grown on the farm, with 4
Sufficient number of live animals to
consume all that is grown on the
farm. Farmers who had contemplate
ed threshing from tho shock, unable
to secure machines, are protting by
the recent experience Of rains every
day or two. and are using the present
dry weather to put their grain In
grain in stacks ard will have it all
secured this week if it continues fair.
A momeltS call was made at John T.
Murtha's, who like all the other farm
crs was in the harvest field. He now
can boast of one of the largest and
best barns in the country having a
stone basement and stable room un-
der the entire structure. Fine homes
and barns dot the farm on both hill
and plain over in Winneshiek.
The Decorah Journal gives an ac-
count of terrible accident which be-

about six O'Clock Friday evening at
tempted to board the Mason City and
McGregor accommodation to Calmar
at the street crossing little west Of
the depot, the train being in rapid
motion at the time. The young man
jumped and grasptd the iron railing
on the front Of the last coach, but
owing to the great speed of the train
he lost his hold and was dashed to the
ground under the wheels. His left
arm near the shoulder and the lower
part of the left leg were crushed hor-
ribly, and the side of his head and
side of his body were also mangled,
and it was thought there we're inter
nal injuries also. He was removed
from the track to the office of DR..
Nackin where with some assistance
the left arm and left leg just above
the ankle were amputated. 1t was at
frst thought he would recover, but
