nrs. Ella HARDWOOD Insane.

Tuesday Mrs. Ella Harwood of
Greenwood township was brought be.

being in question. Doctors @. Z. Mel

ed that she was fit subject for the

Mrs. Harwood has been in i'll health
for some time. This III connection
with trouble with step children has
unbalanced her mind. Medical treat

The School r1eetlng.

The annual school meeting was held
yesterday at two O'Clock p. m. Not a
large number were in attendance, but
the meeting was harmonious. 1t was
decided that an eight months term Of
school should be held; that the levy
should be twenty mills, and that the
board should repair the schoolhouse
In the manner which would seem
best. j. NJ. Hickey, the present in
cumbent was elected district clerk
without opposition.
The possibility Of fight VIII lch
some Of the politicians seemed to scent

doubt it is better for the district that
the usual scraps" we're kept down.
Now that the matter is settled, it is
to be hoped that all will pull together
for profitable school year.

The Storm.

Quite severe hail storm swept
through town Wednesday morning
about one o'clock, accompanied by a
strong wind and heavy rainfall. The
next morning large drifts of hail
might be seen where it had been col.
lected by the running waters. The
storm seemed to have been narrow
and to have passed in a Southeasterly
dir&ction doing considerable damage
to growing crops in its course. Sever
al fields of wheat are said to be de-
Stroyed. Some were covered by insur-
ance, Others were not. About ten
O'Clock a. m. another heavy rain came
up, but little or no hail fell with this
storm. About two inches of rain fell
in both showers.

Shipping Association.

A shipping association was organiz-
ed 10 Norton last week. Marvin is
agitatlng the project and will proba-
bly, have one in the near future. Agra
has had one in successful operation for
several years. And Phillipsburg is
still behiud. Excepting the elevator
which runs In connection with the
mill we have only that Of Counselman
s. Co. These shipping associations
buy upon very close margin and thus
give the producer better price for
bis grain. For that very reason the
Agra markets have paid higher prices
than those Of other towns in the
county.
And this is not all. Farmers sell
their grain where they can get the
best prices. Consequently the town
which has the best grain market is
going to get a larger patronage than
it otherwise would.
It's a business proposition fer the

uNKrNp DRIVERS.

A subject on which the indigna-
ton OF humane people is often arous-
ed is the inhumanity shown by certain
drivers TO horses on our. streets. While
1t Is a pertinent remark that cruelty
to children Is not infrequent. and its
prevention more worthy OF the efforts
Of philanthropists than anything that
can be done for animals. yet it is
often apparent that little wholesome
restraint and education would be ben
eficial in the interest of the faithful
and OFT abused horse.
An instance is given thus; a by
stander was watching team of horses
drawing a heavily loaded wood wagon
up a hill. As the splendid animals
were pulling evenly and with all their
strength, and making good headway,
he admired their devotion to duty and
willingness to serve. But the driver ex-
pressed his lack of appreciation by I'm
ally striking one of them witha heavy
piece of wood, without any apparent
need or reason.
Another driver has been noticed for
years to continually urge his horses
to faster gait by jerking the lines.
A series of short, sharp jerks on a
horses mouth may keep his head up
and add speed and sprightliness. but
the means with equal justice applied to
the man would at once provoke serious
trouble.
Other drivers seek to make up for the
time lost in a chat with the servant
girl or to accomplish more in given
time than Is fairly possible, by rush
ing their teams at dangerous speed
through the streets and particularly
down steep hills. To drive a horse
rapidly down hill indicates ignorance,
recklessness and cruelty. Plank roads
quickly enough stove up horse with
good treatment. but racing down hill
is wanton waste of a horses useful
ness.
