TIRESHING ACCIDENT.
Young Man Horribly Hanglcd by y
Broken Belt.

While engaged at work with a
threshing crew in the southern part
of Rrule county. Bert Ellis met with
an accident which may result in his
death.
While threshing was going on some
thing was carried into the feeder and
stopped that part of the machine.
Ellis was pitching on the side Of the
machine n ext to the feeder belt. and
it is supposed that he made an effort
to throw of the belt in order TO save
the machine from damage
, The belt became entangled in the
puIleys and broke the belt ~tightener.
Either this broken piece or h end
of the heavy belt flew with terrific
force and struck Ellis square in the
face. The force of the blow vas suf-
ficient to hurl him a distance of TWEEN
ty feet ron the machine. where he
was picked UP unconscious with his
face terribly mangled.
A physician was summoned and
found that the upper jaw bone of the
unfortunate man was broken off and
was hanging only by the skin. The
lower jaw was rok in two places.
The upper jaw bone with sever teeth
was removed. while the fractures in
the lower jaw were set and the gashes
sewed up.

the present time we have nothing

navy adequately to represent the
United States. 1t is not my business
to criticise congress, but it sometimes
puzzles us of the nav to know what
congress Is driving at. Frankly, we
have not ships enough, we ave not
guns enough; in fact. we have not a
a gun to put on one of the ships
tomorrow in case one of the guns now
in use should become disabled. In adj
dition to all this, We have not officers

ANNA GOULD DIVORCED.

Count Boni Loses, md Wife and For
tune Are Gone Forever.
Final separation from home and il
come is the cruel fate melted u by
French Justice to Count BOnl de Cas-
t~ellane, the wife-beating spendthrifs
who had won the affection and fortune
Of Jay Gould's daughter and rapidly
dissipated both. The decision, granting
a divorce without ven an "alimentay
allowance" handed down In Paris by
the Tribune of the First Instance of the
Seine, Judge Ditto presiding, gives
Countess de Castellane the custody OF
her children, who, however, may not be
taken from France without the con
sent of their father. .
The end of the famous case came
suddenly. The court brushed aside the
demand of the courts lawyers for aD
examination Of witnesses, and, as ey.
pected, the public prosecutor did not
even ask to be heard. In granting the
countess the custody of her childrez
the court allowed the count only thu
usual rights to see them and share IL
the control of their education, which
was not contested. The count is givel
the right to see the children at stated
periods at the home of their grand
mother, and to keep them a month an
nually during the holidays.

lowance Of $4,000 annually" was pro

Science Is Bunco Scheme.
At q banquet of the Churchman'S

made a bitter attack upon Christian
Science and Mrs. Mary Baker G.. Eddy.
He said in part:
''Eddyism uses the Christian term
inology. processes reverence for Christ
and the bible. %pretends to exalt God
more highly than religions do
and ingeniously mingles much that is
good and true and indisputable with
its own fantastic errors. 1t is there
fore well calculated to do the work
satan designs to do, namely, to destroy
faith in the religion of the Christian
church and to substitute an anti
Christian cnricature. 1t is a gigantic
bunco scheme wherein the victim
thinks he has the treasure, but instead
holds only the worthless imitation"

Miss Gould's dowry was understood to
have beer $4,000. 600, and it was stated
that her income was 100000 a year.
Immediately after the marriage the
couple left the United States for
France. where the ~extravagant manner
in which they lived attracted atten.
ton. About five years after the mar
rlage Count and Countess de CastellaLs
were reported to be financially embar.
raised, it being alleged that the count
had spent about S7,OO0,000 of his wifes
money. An adjustment of the affairs
of the couple became necessary and
considerable litigation followed, with
the result that the Gould family inter
vened and the income of the countess,
was reduced to 100000. Feb. 5 Of the
present year Countess de Castellane en-
tered a plea for divorce. The three
children Of the Castellanes are George,
Boni and Jay, the youngest being the
