KILLED IN RUNAWAY.
TWO CHILDREN MEET INSTANT
DEATH--MoTHER AND TWO
OTHERS HURT.

Dayton, Iowa, Aug. Awhile Mrs.
Axel Johnson and four children were
driving down the big hill near Lebigh,
the dash board gave way, throwing
her and the two younger children
down under the horses, who began to
run down the hill. The two younger
children were killed, while Mrs.
Johnson and the two older children
were badly bruised, being unconscious
when picked up. 1t is not known
whether the two children were killed
by kicks from the team or were run
over.
While serious, it is not thought that
the injuries of Mrs. Johnson or the
two older children will prove fatal,
the latter having remained in the
carriage until it struck a bridge al
the foot of the hill.

And I'd even pay to get to score one

The Herald is daily letter from

Webster County Democrats Refuse to
Vote His Praise.

Fort Dodge, Iowa, Aug. 4.-The
Webster county Democratic couven-
ton held here yesterday afternoon
was the most exciting in years. The
greatest excitement came when Mr.,
Harry of Johnson township in a stir
ring speech asked that no support be
given Governor Cummins. He was
followed by Asa Wren of this city,
who made the room ring with praises
of the governor. He was broken in
upon by ex-Mayor A. H. Northrupp,
who protested against the advocacy
of Republican principles upon the
floor of a Democratic convention, and
for a time the meeting was in great
uproar. Wren again secured the floor
and attempted to make the welllin
ring with praises of Cummins, but q
storm of Kisses sent him to his seat

Interurban

w. E. Richie has secured the con-
tract for building the bridges for the
Oskaloosa and Buxton interurban.
The bridges will be pile and timber
structures. There will be two large
bridges between Oskaloosa and Bea.
con. One where the interurban
crosses the Rock Island and the other
near Beacon where the line will cross
a wagon road. Work has been start
ed on the bridge near Beacon. The
men are now driving the piling. This
bridge will be about 20 feet long and
will be ten feet clear Of the roadway.
The bridge across the Rock Island
will be 70 feet long. This bridge will
necessitate cement piers and some
frame bents because Mr.. Richie can
not use his pile driver as there are
so many trains on the Rock Island.
The work will be delayed to some ex-
tent by the contractor not getting the
timbers and pilings.
Mr.. Richie has called his men in
from Pekay where they have been
building a timber bridge three miles
long for the Whitebreast Fuel Co.
The shortage of timbers and pilings
was the cause. These men will go to
work at once on the interurban con-
tract.

Novel Time-Piece.

> A curious time-piece is to be seen
in the window of the Smith Jewelry
House. 1t is a ships chronometer
and is so made that the rocking of the
ship does not interfere with its level
position, no matter how high sea is
running. The time-piece is very &C.
curate and keeps the time to the frac-
tional part Of, second per week.
Mr.. Dewey, of the Smith house, also
has pocket chronometer, which he
built by his own handiwork. The
time-piece is called chronometer on
account of the "escapement" used.
Such time-pieces must be built by
hand on account of care exercised in
the forming of the parts. 1t is i'm
possible to make them by machinery,

Three Stinuy Men.

An exchange tells of the three stin-
giest men on record. The first will
not drink water unless it comes from
a neighbours we'll; the second forbids
his family to write anything but a
small hand, as it wastes the ink to
make large letters, and the third stops
the clock at night to stop the wear
and tear on the machinery. All of
them refuse to take newspaper on
the ground that i. is terrible strain
on the spectacles to read.
