Bill Nye had the truth well told
when he said: "a man may use a
Wart on the back of his neck for a
collar button; ride on the back coach
of a railroad train TO save interest on
his money till the conductor gets
around; stop his watch at night to
save wear and tear; leave his 81 or st
without a dot or cross to save ink;
pasture his mothers grave to save
corn; but man of this sort is gentle
man and a scholar compared to the
fellow that will take newspaper two
or three years and when asked to pay
for it puts it into the office aud has it
marked refused"

"We have made desperate efforts to
secure berries for shipment, but are
unable to get single carload. The
eastern buyers have frantically hidden
the price up 10 the 81 mark and have
managed to clean up the Missouri
crop. There are no berries in sight
anywhere, and the probabilities are
that if any make an appearance they
will be gobbled up at from $3.50 to S.. :"
Perhaps the reader at first glance
will not realize what the four dollar
berry means, but the fact is, that
berries at that price will have to re-
tail at from 30 to 40 cents per quart,
and at that there will be no profit for
the local dealers.
Dealers have hoped that the Michi-
gan berries, which are due in few
days, will relieve the market some
what, but the indications point to the
twenty-five cent mark as cheap even
at that Under these circumstances
it can we'll be said that there is nearly
a famin in the strawberry market at
this time, and the indications are that
there will be no let up during the
season

WAS BURIED UNDER PULP
Will Mann Injured Severely in
Mill Monday Night.

William Mann was very badly in
jured while preparing for work at the
Consolidated Paper Mill Monday eve
ming. Mr.. Mann arrived at the mill,
where he is employed in the beader
room, and according to his custom sat
down near pile of pulp to take off his
shoes and other clothing. While lean
ng.over in the act of untying his shoe,
the pile of pulp toppled over, and came
crashing down upon him, pinning him
underneath, and up against the wall.
The weight of load of pulp of this
kind is very great, and owing to the
cramped position in which he was
caught, his lower extremities appar-
emily were entirely paralyzed. 1t took
some little time to lift the pulp off OF
the buried man, and his condition was
indeed critical when physicians were
called to administer to him.
He was removed to his home and a
careful examination made. While nc
bones were broken, and there seemed
to be no indication of a blow that
would result in paralysis, Yet, the low
er portions of the body are entirely
paralyzed, and the physicians report
that will take some little time before
the real condition OF the man can be
aScertained.
Will is young man about twenty
six years old, and has worked in the
Consolidated mill for some time. He
lives with his swallowed mother on the
east side.
