livery barn one night last week by
young man residing north of the city,
after the entertainment at the opera
house. The young man took the team
TIC take his lady company home. The
same team was found the next morning
tied near the James WEIGH home and
was taken sack to the barn by the liv-

The little 3-year-old daughter of
Fred Low was severely scalded last
Friday by falling into a pan of hot wa
ter. Mrs. Low had just drained the
boiling water from potatoes she was
cooking and the little girl stood on a
chair beside which on the floor was the
pan of scalding hot water, and while
the mothers attention was directed to
her work the little girl lost her balance
and fell into the pan. Her clothing was
instantly saturated with the hot water
and one of her limbs was so badly
burned that the skin came off from the
hip to the ankle. Immediate medical
attention was given to it and tho her
condition was at first very serious she
is now recovering.

Several young boys made a show of
themselves at the high school during
the lecture on penmanship by Prof.
Reed. They made themselves so OBJ
noxious as to disgust the people who
had gone there for instruction. and
the lecturer was compelled to ask them
to be quiet several times. Their re-
ply was jeer and they kept right on
throwing chalk, talking and
otherwise disturbing the meeting. Had
it been known that the scions of some
of the best families in town had not
been taught to conduct themselves as
an officer would have been
there to eject them from the hall. OF
course it was not your boy or boys.
You know your boy wouldn't do such
a thing.
