FATAL INJURY
James Shine, of Waynes.
burg, Fell From w.
& /. E. Train.
DIED AT THE AULTMAN

James Shine, of Waynesburg, who
fell from Wheeling and Lake Erie
train at Minerva early Saturday even
ing and was badly injured, died at
Aultman hospital at midnight Satur-
day. He was on his way to Canton
when the accident occurred and Shine
was found lying beside the track about
z o'clock.
The injured man was brought to
this city ON freight, and was accom-
panied as far as the w. G. l.. E. ,yarus
by Minerva physician, who ordered
him taken to the county infrmary.
They were met there by Miller &
Blanchard's ambulance, With Drs. Da-
Hinden and Schuffell, and he was
taken to the company's establishment,
to await arrangements for admittanee
to the infirmary.
There is where the trouble began,
as information was received from the
institution that under no Circumstances
could the man be brought there wi,.-
out the consent of the trustees. One
of them was found, but the others
could not be located.
In the meantime Shine was hang
ing between life and death in Court
street, the physicians doing all they
could, hampered as they were, and
there were grave fears that the man
would be obliged TO pass away in the
alley, all on account of the red tape
connected with the entering of a
patient into the institution. DR.. e.
D. Brant, the railroad company's ply
sician, arrived on the scene, and after
a delay of three-quarters of an hour,
the man was finally rushed to Ault-
man hospital DR.. Brant having Sc
cured his admittance.
Shine was badly cut about the head
and face, and part of the skull was
laid bare. His jaw was broken and
the right leg fractured.
The statement given out yesterday
that the deceased had probably miss
ed his train and attempted to take 4
freight to this city was discredited by
young nephew who arrived here
yesterday afternoon. He stated that
he saw Shine board the passenger
train at Waynesburg. 1t is supposed
that he was passing from one car to
another and was jolted from the plat
form, striking on his head Appar-
emily the accident was not seen and
the passenger train pama on without
him.
No arrangements for the funeral
have yet been made as the relatives of
the deceased have not arrived. A
brother living in Cleveland and sis
ter, Mrs. Finefrock, of Waynesburg,
are expected to arrive here this morn
ing.

neighbor sat up and began to take
notice. But it was too late. Public

toward his neighbor's door and his
advertising had become a magnet

she did. Most pitiful Of all the stor-

corpse of a woman with a dead child
clasped to her breast.
REMARKABLE INCIDENTS.
One of the remarkable incidents of
the wreck was the escape OF a child
of three years which was found wan
dering in a field some little distance
from the track. There was not a
scratch or bruise on her little body,
nor had she been brought to tears by
the disaster Her only concern SEEM

Mrs. H. F. Fisher, while responding
to the call Of sufferer, almost STUMP

child near the track. The baby was
terribly bruised, but was still alive.
The distracted woman hurried with 1t

she almost dragged with her rendered

Half Hours with Best Husbands.

The suggestion recently made that
women adopt an arbitrary system of
social intercourse with their hus-
ton of the day for this purpose, has
met with various forms of criticism,
according to the experience of the
critic. On the whole, it may be said
that it is with husbands as it is with
authors. Half hours with the best
because if the author is to ones taste
a half hour is all too short a time to
spend with him, while if he proves I'M
suitable, a moment spent in commun-
ion with him is tedious. Generally
speaking, any arbitrary form of hui

being at home" to husband is a less

We performed our deeds heroic for the
blue and for the gray:
We've saved the boys in Cuba, and were
saving 'em to-day
Where they're learnin' of their lessons in
the Igorrote's school
But at Washington they've figured that
it's best to shelve the mule.
We have plugged along the desert with
our tongues and ears adroop
But we never let redskin catch us lag
gin from our troop;
We have frozen in Montana. where we
chased the bands of Sioux,
But we took our doses proper, for us
army folks can't choose
So let 'ern do their bluffin' with their

And wait until the wagons only show up

A Productive Acre.

Norman Parker claims to have the
banner acre of land in Reno county
when it comes to the amount of value
produced in the 1907 crop. The acre
of land is situated in the Sunf1ower
Addition to Hutchinson, south of Park
street. Three years ago Norman Par
ker bought four acres, or a city block
over there. paying $500 for the land.
One acre of the four was this spring
planted in canteloupes and recently
Norman has been hauling them to
market. He had an immense crop:
the melons being so thick he could
at places hardly walk around the
patch without injuring some of them.
Up to the time of picking the crop
this patch had cost but about $25 to
raise, figuring in all the labor Since
that time he has had the expense of
picking and marketing the crop, which
has been hauled from the patch at
the rate of from one to three wagon
loads per day. When he marketed the
last load from the patch he said he
has realized S425 from that one acre
of melons. That is pretty good per
cent on the $3.50 that one acre origi-
nally cost him.

Will Assess at Actual Value.

One of the first duties of the new
county assessors when they take Of
fee the first of the year under the
new tax commission law will be to
compile list of farms scattered over
the county, together with their actual
value and the assessed valuation for
the present year. An order to this eff
feet is being prepared by the State
Tax commission and will go out in
a few days. The commissioners have
announced that next year real estate
in Kansas will be assessed at it's ac-
tual value, but in order to secure this
they will have to take unusual meas
ures. They are preparing blanks
which will be sent out to the county
assessors. Upon the blanks are
spaces for the description of farms,
the assessed value for 1907, the real
value as shown by the last deed, and
for the percentage the assessed valu-
alton forms of the actual valuation.
