10 IN Exciting Runaway.

Mesdames J. F. Lewis and F. D..
Harrison had al experience last Sat-
urday evening which neither will soon
forget. They we're out driving be-
hind a team Of young spirited horses
owned by Mr.. Lewis which were con-
sidered safe, but an unfortunate in.
cident happened in Westlawn calcu-
lated to test the docile disposition Of
any team. Mrs. Lewis was handling
the reins and felt safe, but as they
rounded an incline the buggy tongue
slipped from the neck-yoke and the
horses became unmanagable. They
started to run and the ladies soon
discovered their dangerous attitude.
Mrs. Harrison jumped from the rig
and fell on her side and shoulder.
Mrs. Lewis held to the reins for some
distance but was thrown from the
buggy.
Friends at once came to the assis-
lance of the ladies', who we're both
more or lessinjured. Mrs. Harrison,
besides receiving a v er nervous
shock had one limb sprained, n
arm and shoulder bruised and other
slight injuries. Mrs. Lewis was also
bruised about the head and shoulders
having been thrown to the street with
considerable force, the buggy tongue
hurting the vehicle in the air.
The ladies were promptly given
medical attention and taken to their
respective homes and have suffered
both from the nervous shock and the
injuries received, but their many
friends will be pleased to learn that
the mishap caused no fatal results.
However, it was a narrow escape.
The buggy was wrecked and the
team became detached, having been
picked up sometime after the rum
away.

The AdveutiSts are Here.

Alum Well Park looks like a mill
tary encampment since the first Of the
week. Messrs. Stewart, Merrill and
Sccles, the encampment committee
came here several days ago to get the
Park in shape for the annual conven-
ticn and meeting of the Seventh Day
Adventists and the main body of peo-
pie belonging to the denomination
are now arriving in Versailles for their
camping siege which will hold fourth
here for the next fifteen days.
The tents are nicely arranged in
straight rows, giving the Park the APP
pearance of a neat tented city laid
out for the convenience of the camp
ers aud equipped with cots and every
thing necessary for living in camp
and enjoying the season to the best
advantage possible. The whole pre-
serts an inviting scene and is already
creating more or less interest among
Our people, it being the first tented
outing Of the kind ever spread in
Versailles. The Adventists are get
ting in shape for their annual SER
vices. The gentlemen in charge are
agreeable and courteous and the free
dom of the camp is unrestricted.
The city of tents is to be lighted by
electricity which will add to the
beauty of the surrounding in the park
at night. The tabernacle tent is large
and is well lighted at night with 80
c. p. incandesoent lamps and shows
up fine.

An Outing Party.

A fishing party OF young folks COM
posed of Misses Annie Clifton, Beulah
Hubbard, Edna Abel and Fay Long,
Messrs. Lusius Ross, Harry Mills,
Jim Hubbard and Tony Spurlock,
went to the Gravois and all the inter-
mediate watering places Tuesday
morning. They took all the equip
ment to afford a good time, except
fishing tackle. The young ladies
prepared a box Of homemade candy,
and in a card to DR.. Hubbard during
the day Miss Beulah stated that Har-
ny Mills had been put on ice while
Jim Hubbard had been suspended
for p~urloining and eating their box Of
"tahy candy" Charges had been
preferred against some Of the other
members Of the party but the court
marshal was deferred until the mos
quitos we're hived. 1t goes without
saying, that the party caught all the
fish they saw in the Gravois.

Dog Days Are On.

There are many people who do
not seem to know what is meant by
the term "dog days." although the
old time expression dates back to
ancient times. Dog days began the
23d Of July and will last forty days.
There arc a whole lot Of wrong
IDEAS connected with them among
he people. Some farmers say that
il the bit Of an az is stuck into a
green tree the 10th Of the dog days
that the tree will die. Others hold
that If a person receives injuries dur
ing those days that they will not heal
until the dog days are over. Again
others say that in those days dogs
are more likely to get hydrophobia,
while still othe S maintain that food
will not keep from n day to an
other, that are should be excised in
eating Of certain vegetables and that
-, one should not 60 into deep water
T. those days as cramps would overtake
him and cause him to drown.
For the purpose of discrediting
some of these fool beliefs and as a
matter of valuable information we re-
produce the following from q leading
encyclopedia on the subject OF dog
days.
''From the rising Of the star Sirius
,<dog starr, the a~ncien:s reckoned
their dog days, which were forty in
number--twenty before and twenty
after the rising of the star. The ris.
ing of the dog star was ignorantly
supposed TO be the occasion of the
extreme heat, and Of the disease
Incidental to these days. 1t was by
mere accident that the rising of the
star conceded with the hottest season
Of the year, in tines and countries OF
the old astronomers. The time of
its rising depends on the latitude of
the place, and is later every year
IN all attitudes, owing to procession.
IN time the star will rise in the dead
Of winter"

There we're no evidences OF violence
either on the body or In the immediate

was undoubtedly due to physical col.

OF a pine tree. The body when found

The spot where the body was found
was one quarter OF mile from the
old wood road In which the broken
gun was picked up yesterday morning.
The breaking OF the gunstock which at
first was considered a suspicious cir
cumstance can now be accounted for.
The stock had been previously broken
and mended and could easily have
been dropped and broken as the ex
hansted man stumbled along through
the fog.
