Out OF the Cow Business

The Senior editor is out OF the
COW business. AS we arereach-
ing our second childhood we
concluded We needed a COW. so
we went to our old friend Geo.
Smiley, for advice. He sold us
a COW that he warranted to be
as gentle as a school marin and
with a disposition Of a Madonna.
Say, what Smiley don't know
about a COW would fill the
Britannica Encyclopedia. We
had the COW brought in from
the country and found she was
only two years old and her hind
leg worked on a double jointed
pivot. She was a modest young
thing and didn't like to have a
man fooling around her. All
our friends had advice to give
about the COW. j. ]. Amen
suggested that we use q
syphon in milking her; our
partner, Hoyle, thought we
ought to use a monkey wrench
to milk her with, while Dad
Harmon suggested that we put
her in a cider press and squeeze
the milk out of her. We didn't
take any Of their advice but
tried to milk her in the same
old way. The first night she

Killed BY Train

Killed By Train
Last night John Wilkinson,
Jr., son Of j. H. Wilkinson,
round house foreman for the
Northwestern, accompanied by
several companions, went to
Denison on No. 6, which leaves
here at about seven o'clock, and
were returning on No. II
about eleven, presumably
riding on the blind baggage,
when young Wilkinson fell off
the train and was fatally in
.jured. The boys were proba-
bly, ready to alight from the
train in the east yards at Mis-
souri, Valley when the young
man in some manner fell off
and struck a projection. The
other boys saw him fall and one
of them went back and stayed
with him while the other went
on down to the yard office and
notified the force of men. The
yardmaster took a switch en-
CINE and coach and went to get
the victim and when they re-
turned to the depot DIR. Colt
had been called and was on
hand ready to receive him.
Later DR.. DeVore, the family
physician was called and the
injured boy taken to the Bough-
ton hospital. The physicians
made the sufferer as comfort
able as possible, but he never re-
gained consciousness, but did
not suffer as much from the
pain of the wound, as from tn
shock. There were numerous
wounds, the two worst being tbs
right knee which was torn and
fractured, but the worst injury
on the body was a p%unctured
wound five inches long by three
inches wide under the right
shoulder blade into the plura
and lung, and the air that went
into tie lung came out through
the external opening. The
vollng man fingered until about
$50 this morning when his
spirit took its departure. The
family were gathered about the
bedside when the end finally
came. Drs. Colt, DeVore anC
Boughton did all they could tt
: relieve the sufferer but the
\ shock was too great.
John Wilkinson was born il
/ Missouri Valley about seven
teen years ago and was educat
ed in the local schools. Fo1
the past few years he had bee,
working in the local shops, ant
had o host of friends anon.
his fellow-workmen. He was
genial, robust young man ant
his premature death has cast
gloom over his many friend'
and companions. Beside hi
parents, he has a sister and ;
brother, all living in this city

Thomas McClary,'s Lecture.

The second number of the
course Of lectures arranged for
the season under the auspices
of the ladies of the Ladies Inn
provement League. was deliver
ed last night by Thos. McClary,
at the opera house, to a moder-
ately good house. Opinion as
to the merit of the lecture may
differ, but we are inclined to
the belief that it was generally
satisfactory. His language was
of the most approved diction,
brilliant, poetic, and pathetic at
times in a large degree. That
his lecture was calculated to in
spire in a high degree a spirit
of elevated thought, uplifting
in matter, and beneficial to all
who heard him is true. He
scattered beautiful flowers with
a profuse hand, c~omplimented
the ladies OF the Improvement
League for their effort to ele-
vate social improvement in Mo
Valley, and paid a high tribute
to religion and morality, and
enlivened the lecture with an
acdote and wit that kept his au-
dience in a good humor. We
believe his hearers went from
the lecture with a higher opin-
ion of their fellow man, with a
nobler impulse to do good, and
a wish to hear Mr.. McClary
again should opportunity offer.
