WOUNDED LAD STILL LIVES
BUT THE CHANCES ARE HIS LIFE
WILL YET EBB.
SUFFERS INTENSE PAIN TODAY
Little Donald Housh, Shot Yesterday
by His Brother in Play, Shows
Signs of Pleurisy-His Head is Cow
cred With Raw Sores.

From Tuesdays Daily.1
Donald HOuSh, the little S-year-old
lad who was shot in the chest by his
brother, Claude, accidentally, yester-
day. was still alive at noon today
though suffering intense pain and
with signs of development of pleu-
rsy. DR.. Bear, the attending surgeon,
is not ready to say whether or not the
little fellow will recover, but the gen.
eral conditions, it is thought, are
against him.
The boy has weak constitution to
go on. Having lived for eight years
in poverty and miserable environment,
his frame has not taken on any too
much of the glow of health and his
body was in none too good condi-
tion for the ball of lead that sunk into
it from the barrel of his brothers
careless revolver.
His head is covered with running
sores that cause even the physician
to shrink back from the very touch of
his flesh and any bullet wound, in such
bit of flesh, might be very danger.
Gus. 1t is thought the bullet went
into the muscles behind the back.

family, three small rooms above a
marble store on Norfolk avenue.
Claude lioush, who is on the night
shift of OXnard hotel bell boys, traded
a watch temporarily for the little gun.
His mother says she shouldn't have al

but the boy said he didn't feel safe at
night without It, So the gun came
into the building This morning
Claude tossed the firearm around his
fingers, held it out from him, snapped
the trigger and saw his brother stop
the ball of lead an instant later, He
realized that the gun contained a load.
A surgeon dressed the wound but
the ball could not be found The lit

his slender, weak little form from side

GAINESVILLE Argus: Mr.. and Mrs.
j. H. Jackson of Redwood Falls
stopped off in this place last week
for brief visit with Mrs. Jackson's
parents upon their return from the
world S fair at ST. Louis and from
Chicago. And this reminds US that
Mr.. Jackson, although but young
man, has secured through good
management and energy a compe-
tency for the balance of his life,
fact that appeals strongly to the
good nature and good sense of the
people. He has three hundred and
twenty acres of land situated near
one of the most thriving towns in
the state. 1t was purchased some
years ago at so an acre. With
good crops it was an easy matter to
pay for it. Tt is worth now not less
than $50 an acre. Mr.. Jackson S
brothers, ali of whom are old resi-
dents of GAINESVILLE, and we'll known
here, are equally fortunate. They
each own clear of encumbrance a
half section, the combined holdings
of the family being about 1900
acres. This is a deserved instance
of worthy reward where foresight
and activity have met with merited
recompense.

FOR MOVING THE CROPS.
The Shipment of Currency Has Begun
Rather Vigorously.

Washington, Aug. 27.-"The ship
ment of currency for moving the crops
has begun rather vigorously" said
Treasurer Roberts Friday afternoon.
1--WE have sent already this week to
New Orleans against deposits in New
York $521,0 900 and to Chicago against
deposits in New York $1,50O,OOO. In
comparison with last year it will be
seen that the New Orleans movement
is much above the same and that the
Chicago movement much more active.
The total payments in Chicago last
year from January to September i,
against deposits in New York, were
S1,200,0O0. We have already sent in
that period this year, including this
weeks movement, $1,S00,000 and it is
possible that more may go between
now and the 31st of August. There
has been a total to New Orleans since
January 1 of 900. The amount
last year for the period up to the
close of August was $4,119,000."

ably fatally, in a tornado that swept
through Chautauqua county on Thurs

Parkhurst's grove, where the Stock
town picnic was being held, was di-
rectly in the path of the storm. Five
thousand people were on the grounds
when a terrific wind storm swept
through the place.
The storm came up suddenly. Trees
in the grove were struck by lightning,
many of them were blown down and
the rain fell in torrents. The people
who took refuge under the trees at
the first sign of the storm were caught
by the falling branches and injured.
Many horses were killed in the
same manner Some of the animals
stampeded, trampling upon the injured
people lying upon the ground.
Some of the buildings in the vicini-
ty were blown down and others were
unroofed. Hundreds of forest and
fruit trees were torn up and corn and
oatfields we're laid waste, entailing
loss of thousands of dollars.
At the assembly grounds at Chau-
tauqua many trees were uprooted, and
portion of the fence around the
grounds was demolished. The mems
club here was badly damaged.
Cleburne, Tex, Aug. 26.-Four chill

THE TURBINA.
Board of Naval Engineers Experts
Completed An Examination of>lt.

Washington, Aug. pa board OF
naval engineering experts has. just
completed a thorough examination Of
the .Turbina, one of the latest develop
ments in the use of the steam turbine
as applied to vessels. The results of
the inspection will be made known in
detail in a report on the whole sub
ject of turbine power which the board
will prepare, but meanwhile it may be
stated that the performance of the tur-
bine was regarded as highly satisfac-
tory. There was complete absence
of vibration, most important consid-
Grafton in gun pointing and in the
comfort of the crew. Furthermore, al
most no repairs are necessary to the
engines, there being no friction except
in few bearings. There is no pound
ing and thudding of engines, nothing
but soft rush of steam through the
pipes, SO that noise is suppressed, an
other valuable consideration in naval
combats.

medal for her bravery in plotting her
party of children across Green bay in
rowboat on Thursday during heavy
sea, when the waves were 20 and 80

that saved the lives of the entire par

her hands were raw, taking charge of
the boat and keeping up the spirit of
all by assuming a light heartedness
she did not feel. Her friends will send
full account Of her exploit to the
trustee of the Carnegie fund and ask
