Accident Monday Night.

George d. Leeper, a farmer residing
near Concord, was dangerously injured
by being dragged by a horse Monday
night. He is lying at the home OF ].
e. Green, near Union school house,
with his left chest badly crushed, bis
shoulder joint d~islocated, several ribs
broken and severe internal injuries.
Mr.. Leeper was in town horseback
Monday and started home late in the
evening. In some way his horse threw
him on the left side. Mr.. Leeper's
right foot caught In the stirrup and
he was dragged some distance before
his boot was torn off. He fell near
Mr.. Green's home and the inmates
heard him moaning for about an hour,
but thought 1t vas noise made by the
stock. After she had retired one of
Mr.. Green's daughters recognized hui
mar tones In the cries and caused an
investigation, finding Mr.. Leeper "
ing in the mud of the road. Besides
the injuries told Of above he was badly
cut about the head and body.
When the horse was found the next
morning part of Mr.. Leeper's boot
was found still in the stlrrup. 1t was
through the tearing of the boot and
the fact that Mr.. Leeper fell to the
left and was caught by his right foot
probably saved his life.

GREAT DAMAGE DONE.
Sleet and Frozen Rain Cause Thous.
ands of Dollars Loss to the Citizens
of Audrain County and Mexico.

Probably the worst sleet damage In
this city and Audrain county In years
was caused Monday night and Tues.
day.
Through Monday night and Tuesday
1t rained and sleeted, the collection Of
sleet and frozen rain doing irrepara-
Die damage to the forest, fruit and
shade trees and bringing to the ground
many telephone, telegraph and cleo
trio wires. The worst damage In this
latter direction was the breaking down
OF the pole at the southeast corner of
the square, which carried rs individ-
ual wires Of the Mexico Telephone
Company, besides a lead cable contain
ing IS sets OF telephone wires of two
each. At this point the lines which
feed northeast Mexico are carried dag
onally across Washington and Jackson
streets from northeast to southwest.
and there vas considerable strain, al
though the poles on either side of the
street are well guyeG.
The pole at the northeast extremity
OF the crossing point one OF the biggest
and strongest used by the company,
under the weight of hundreds ofpounds
OF ice on the wires,gaye way just below
the cross arms bearing the wires short
ly before 5 O'Clock Tuesday morning
ing and slowed across Washington
street to the ground. Had there been
any teams or passersby at that point
In the street the result would have
been loss Of life.
As soon as workmen could be gotten
to the place the neighboring poles,
which were under additional strain,
were braced and the sidewalks barred
to traffic until all danger of further
damage was past. Mr.. Richie, local
manager of the system, could place MOI
definite estimate on the damage TO-
day.
The telegraph. and electric light
wires, as well as the telephone wires
all over town were considerably dam
aged,
Thousands Of shade and fruit trees
in town and country were damaged be-
yond saving and stock suffered consid-

GROUND HOG SAW IT.
Shadow Loomed Up Bid and Clear
and According to Tradition Six
Weeks Bad Weather Will
Follow.

The weather man is responsible for
a good deal for his action in ordering
a clear day Monday, for it was ground
hog day and that rodent climbed out
of his hole and observed his shadow.
Those who claim to know state that
he straightway turned himself about
and descended into his hole again to
take another 6-weeks nap while the
bad weather, which, according to
traditions, is sure tocome, passes over.
The day was really ,Candlemas day
and the idea Of the ground hog seeing
his shadow and returning to his hutch
is n which has travelled down the
aisles of many ages.
There Is a popular Scottish rhyme
often quoted which goes:
II Candlemas day be dry and fair,
The half 0, winters to come and mair;
II Candlemas day be wet and foul
The half o. winters gone at Yule.

A STRENUOUS DIVINE.
Rev. |. F. Lusk, Former Mexico Man,
Lifts Church Debt in Moberly-
To Build New Ediice.

The First M. e. Church of Moberly
after several years existence under
the shadow of a heavy debt has finally
cleared up all liabilities and is now on
the point Of building a new church.
Rev. |. F. Lusk, formerly OF this
city, is pastor OF the church and it is
largely due to his efforts during the
past four years that the church Is now
out Of debt.
Speaking OF this %well-known divine
the Moberly Democrat says:
In this connection, it will not be
amiss to refer complimentary to the
eloquent pastor, Rev. /. +. Lusk, to
whose earnest labors and thriftiness
much credit can be attached for the
above splendid condition.
Rev. Lusk is now closing the fourth
year OF his p~astorate, which has been
fralght with much success and honor.
The church was deeply in debt when
he came here, but the obstacles which
would have overcome Others did not
dishearten him, and he went diligent-
ly to work 10 change the aspect OF af-
fairs, with the above showing
His teachings have resulted in over
400 accessions to the church In the four
years and a three-fold increase in MEM
bership at prayer meetings.
That his pastorate has been a siren
uous n is attested by the fact that
he has conducted sixty funerals In
four years, performed ffty marriages,
baptized 100 people and has conducted
nearly 1000 public meetings, as we'll
as made over 5000 calls on his mem
bers.
Not content with bis own teachings
he has had some of the best talent in
the country occupy his pulpit, among
them being such notables as Bishop
Andrews, who later conducted VIM.
funeral; Bishop Fltzger-
aid. DR.. J. B. Young, of Cincinnati;
DIR. G. B. Spencer, Of Kansas City, and
many prominent college presidents and
preachers OF national reputation.
Rev. Lusk was born In Salem, Ind,
In June, 1858. He received his educa-
ton in the public schools, Eoikosi
Academy and Hanover College He
entered the India Conference and was
transferred to the Northwest
Nebraska Conference; then to the
Western Nebraska Conference, and
there sent to the Missouri Con-
ference.
He is an able, fluent talker, a deep
thinker and student; a nan strong in
