Patrons of the Chautauqua at West
Union. last week had narrow escape
from an accident at the grounds Sun
day afternoon. A cyclone wind
storm struck the big tent in which
were seated about fifty people breaking
one OF the center poles and rending
the tent in several places. The peo-
pie escaped without injury, thankful
they were able to do so.
Some weak or silly, but undoubted-
ly well-meaning people, are sending a
prayer through the mails to different
people in Waverly, and they ask that
the person addressed send the same
prayer to nine others with the request
that each of them send it to nire
others. and so ON. 1t is stated that
this is done at the request of Bishop
Laurence of Maine. The bishop has
denied that he has had anything to do
with it. 1t is silly fake. Don't pay
any attention to such letters if you re-
ceive any.-Waverly Independents.
1t is reported that cetain paroled
inebriate in this town is getting
booze regularly. A law of the state
makes it misdemeanor to sell or pro-
cure liquor for one who has taken a
cure fer drunkenness or who is paroled
or has been discharged from the state
institution for inebriates. The law
provides fine of not less than $500
or more than $1,000 for this offense,
the offender to be committed to
county Jail until the fine is paid. 1t
is serious thing to procure liquor
for one of these men and if the parties
who are doing it are caught they will
be prosecuted. --Elkader Argus.

Quite a little excitement was oc.
castoned near the electric light plant
last Thursday evening by youth en-
cheering premature Fourth Of July
celebration. He purchased the largest
firecracker he could find, and selected
the two foot drain.near the power
plant as suitable place to fire it off.
He crawled in and set fire to the
cracker, and then tried to crawl out,
but he had either swollen up with
national pride or the drain had shrunk,
the explosion took place. He was
then pulled out in semi conscious
condition and given the pure air cure
He is again in good condition and can
yell ''whoa Mike" the same as ever. -
