WOMAN'S FINGER SEWED
FAST TO HER MACHINE
Needle Passes Through Digit and
Completes Stitch as if 1t
Were Cloth.

KETTLE FALLS, Wash, Sept. 21.-
Mrs. Eber ]. Kelley of this place met
with a singular accident to-day. She
was using the sewing machine and the
needle ran through her finger at
about the center of the nail. The
needle struck the bone and broke,
leaving the point in the finger. The
other portion of the needle passed
round the bone through the finger,
pinning it fast to the machine.
Mrs. Kelley was alone. Her cries
brought her husband from the store
below. and he, with assistance, took the
machine apart to release the unfortu-
nate sufferer, it being impossible to
get the finger or needle loose in any
other way.

DEATH BY VIOLENCE MAY
BE FATE OF MISSING MAN
Disappears After Making Display of
Money and Foul Play Is
Feared.

SANTA ROSA, Sept. 21.-yictor
Fouk has disappeared from Forest
vile. and foul play is suspected. The
man has not been seen since Sunday,
at which time he was exhibiting
money. He had more than a hun
dred dollars in cash. and it is believed
he has been murdered for this sum.
Fouk was not known to have any bad
habits. and the fact that thirty dol
lars was due him the day after his
disappearance lends color to the
theory of foul play.

fears Of a water famine IN Walla Walla
have been dispeiled Tor the present
Last week, when the supply be-
came alarmingly short, Water Superin-
tendent Knight began experiments on
city property near the city limits. AS a
result a good flow of water was devel,
oped within SOC feet Of one of the
large reservoirs. and a ditch. was dug
about II feet d ep. A i depth of 10
feet water was stuck, and when the
wolkmen went down two feet deeper
the flow was SO great that they were
compelled to suspend operations at that
point.
A trench was then dug 250 feet long,
and today two eght-inch pipes were
laid, with the result that they are now
running two thirds full of good, pure
spring water, which is being turned in
to the reservoir.

1t Ii Even Worse Than the HOrFtbI o
Noises Made by the Al
Gerians.

Cubans show a semi-savage prefer
ence for such music as is made by
a band composed of a stamp-mill
sort of a crank piano. a pair of sugar
kettle tom-toms and man with
horse-radish crater called a giro"
and a fiat file with which to scrape it
the combined outfit producing a dis
cordant potpourri that might easily
dislocate the teeth of any self-fespect-
ing handsaw, says the Detroit Free
Press. This example of music as the
Cubans fancy lit is even worse than
the fnger-drumming and wire-snap-@
ping musical murders committed in
Tunisian bazars and Algerian cafes
chantantes. The lauded but lugubri-
Gus Cuban national hymn is best es-
termed when performed by one of
these bands of inharmonic banditti,
and the national dance, that monoton-
Gus combination of motions that sug-
gests that the dancer is trying to shoe
a flea off the small OF his back and
also go easy on a stonebruised heel,
can only be adequately performed to
the music of these African agitators of
cat-gut, raw-hide and perforated tin.
The truth is the Cubans will have tu
learn music all over again.

Useless Themselves, They Have De-
strOyed the wild Rice Fields
I'm Ontario, Canada.

The singular complaint comes from
various parts of northern Ontario that
fish are responsible fer the disappe8r-
ance of certain kinds Of game In 10
calities which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which they
offered the birds are now not to be had
al all
The ducks, geese and other aquatic
birds were formerly in the habit Of
-freQuenting the large fields Of wild rice
in the lakes and streams Of parts of
Ontario. but now these fields have been,
in many instances. destroyed by the
German carp, which has found it's way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
of this detestabe fish not only ruins
the flavor Of its own flesh. but exhausts
the food supply of some Of the most
desirable forms Of feathered game,
says the New York Sun.
The Ontario inspector Of fish
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks, reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
Gus to other fish. as has been Frequent
ly claimed, but that in Cooks bay, Lake
Simcoe, where there were formerly
hundreds of acres Of wild rice, not
spear of tha plant is to be seen to-day.
The same is true of the Holland river,
where there were at one time 1,500
acres of rice. The carp have eaten it

last evening, it was decided to make
a proposition for the purchase of the

board will take formal and final ac-
ton on the question of buying the
Moore property at the regular month
ly meeting. to be held next Monday
evening at the home Of the president.
Mrs. w. C. Bennett, in Moline. The
work of the home is handicapped
somewhat in the present location on
