THE HEAVENS. IN AUGUST.
Location of the Principal constelIa.
tons Now Visible.

We are abundantly favored with
evening views of the planets at pres
ent. Venus and Mars light up the
west after sunset, and as they disap
pear Saturn and Jupiter arise to take
their places. Uranus is also in sight
but is not conspicuous.
At 8 p. m. on the 18th, Venus has
not long set. Mars will soon follow
her, but he is still a few degrees above
the western horizon The most con
spicuous star in the western sky is
Arcturus, which is about half way
down from the zenith.
Far to the southwark, beyond Oph
iuchus and Serpens, is Scorpio, still
we'll visible just past the meridian,
while Sagittarius is farther east.
Following up the Milky Way from
these consultations, we first reach
Aquila, after avacant region. Then
come Cygnus and Lyra, the latter al
most directly overhead.
The great square Of Pegasus is the
most conspicuous confguration in the
eastern sky. To the north of it are
Andromeda and Perseus, just rising,
and to the south are AQuarius and
Capricornus, themselves inconspicu-
GUS, but now rendered bright by the
presence of Jupiter and Saturn.
Cassiopeia is on the right OF the
pole, Draco almost above it, and Ursa
Major on the left.
Hercules and Corona, which lie be:
tween Vega and Arcturus, complete
the list of conspicuous consultations
now visible.

INJURED IN A RUNAWAY
Miss Lille Smith is in a Very Ser
ious Condition.

Miss Lille, or Dolly" Smith, a
daughter of Robert Smith, residing
east Of the city, was very seriously
and it is feared fatally injured in a
runaway accident that occurred on
me Iowa City road in the east part
Of the city, about nine-thirty o'clock
Sunday evenings
Miss Smith, in company with Miss
Anna Thomas and couple of boys.
Earle Morris and Jimmie Rogers,
were returning to the city from the
camp meeting grounds, east of the
city The four young people were in
the buggy pulled by single horse
and driven by Miss Thomas.
The rig had turned west into the
Iowa City road at the foot Of the hill
east Of the Fritz Haber place. Some
obstruction was run over which
caused the horse to start and Miss
Thomas was thrown out of the We,
hicle. In attempting to save herself
she dropped the lines and the horse
started. The boys attempted to get
the lines again but it was dark and
the animal was running. In the eN
fort to reach the lines the horse was
more frightened and commenced
kicking and both boys were thrown
out at the roadside. dolly" was the
last to be thrown out OF the rig and
it is not known just how she fell or
what did happen. The boys found
her lying by the side of the road
screaming with pain. She was I'M
conscious but seemed to be suffering
intensely. At eleven o'clock this
morning the girl had not yet regain
ed consciousness and her condition
is regarded as critical.
The girl was carried into the Fritz
Haber residence and everything that
could be done toward the relief of
the sufferer was most generously Of
fered by these excellent people. DR..
L. A. Rodgers was summoned to the
place and he made a careful exam
nation. He found no fractured bones
and the extent of the injuries will not
be known until the girl regains
consciousness.
She has some serious internal in
jury as she is constantly splitting
blood. No bruises of any extent are
found excepting a slight mark on the
elbow. An injury and bruise on the
nose would indicate that the girl was
thrown from the buggy upon her
head and face.
The Thomas girl was rendered I'M
conscious by her fall and she was
lying at the roadside fully twenty
minutes before she regained her
senses. She was not much hurt. She
raised herself and looked around
ans knowing that an accident had
happened, her first thought was of
the others in the rig. Seeing the
light in the Haber house she went
there to secure aid and found that
the others had preceded her to the
place. The boys had just brought
the injured girl, Dolly" to the
house and were next going to look
for the Thomas girl when she APP
peared at the door She was not
badly hurt beyond a few bruises re-
sulting from the fall and is all right
to-day.
The horse ran west on the street.
He kicked himself loose from the We
hicle and was stopped near the j. E.
Guthrie home The buggy was prac-
ticaIIy demolished in the mix-up bit
the horse was uninjured.

Youth Meets Horrible Death Near
Jordan Springs.

Lafayette, KY, Feb. 19.-Lee
Moody, aged II, grandson of Mr..
Profus Moss, was found frozen to
death dear Jordan Springs, Monday.
The young man had been to Clarks-
vile and started home Sunday af-
ternoon. Failing to arrive that
night, search was instituted Mon
day morning and he was found in
the forks of tree on a small island
in a creek not far from home. One
arm was around limb of the tree.
Moody was riding a young mule
and'the supposition is that mule
and rider were swept down the
stream to the island, about one
hundred yards below the ford, and
that the youth climbed the tree, as
he was afraid to attempt to get to
the shore. He could not swim and
the water between the island and
shore was about ten feet deep.
Some negroes living near by say
that they heard some one hallooing
that night, but paid no attention to
it. The body was carried to his
late home near Jordan Springs and
the interment took place yesterday.
