Seriously Injured.

John Hess, resident of Darkesville,
while going from town Saturday night
met with serious accident and one
that nearly cost him his life. In the
darkness he wandered of the road and
fell over the embankment into the
Standard Lime & Stone Co.'s quarry
south of town. The distance he fell was
about 80 feet and he was not found I'M
til the next morning when some quar-
ry hands picked him up and took him
to the City hospital. The left ankle
was fractured, the bone between the
knee and ankle of the right leg was
mashed and the flesh mangled. Drs,
Oats and Andrews dressed the wounds
and he is now doing well. He has a
family and is about 40 years of age.

work with might and main. When
night came there was still seven thous-
and to raise but the excitement was at
fever heat. The hosts gathered in the
firemen's hall and Mr.. j. NJ. Woods
was placed in the chair. There WAS
hustling everywhere. Young men run
ming here and there and taking what
ever they could get until about III
o'clock the sum of Sll00 only was lack
ing. The large hall became veritable
grain market Pit. Men, old and young
surged, pushed jammed, crowded each
other, and in few moments the
amount was brought down to 1854.
Then everybody wanted to give Sagain
and the pushing and surging went on
with greater vigor than before and the
chairman in vain endeavor tried to re-
store order. 1t was clearly apparent
that the 1854 was taken and more. FL
nally order was restored and the chair
suggested that Mr.. Tibbetts make q
speech while the secretary summed up
the contribution. Mr.. Tibbetts finally
got to speech and said 81 told you So
He assured them that while they had
worked hard and richly deserved the
great victory they had won, there was
Power behind it all that had opened
the hearts and pocketbooks thus
browning their efforts with victory. At
the suggestion of Mr.. u. T. Brantner
the long metre doxology was sung and
the meeting was dismissed with a
prayer by Rev. McCurdy. The
crowd passed out and paraded the
streets for several hours headed by
drum.
The campaign ended in veritab BILE
blaze of glory.
The victory is a victory for the COM
mon people. There were no very large
subscriptions as are generally made in
such campaign twenty or thirty
thousand dollars most of the
wealthy men did their share but the
great bulk of the SAC, 900 was given by
the people OF moderate means and the
poor people in small subscriptions.
The highest we have heard of was
about $4,000 and they range from that
down to five cents.
The great work of the organization
has but begun. With this victory
come responsibilities. The money
must be collected and must be care
fully Inv ested that it may bring the
best possible results. The locating of
the building must be placed in the
hands of careful competent men and
they should see that the money is not
all spent for lot. OF course it would
be preferable to have it on the main
street but not if it takes all the money
to buy the lot leaving nothing for the
building and equipment.
