Accidentally Shot.

A sad accidental shooting occurred
on the Robert Murphy farm ear New
Haven last Saturday evening, the vic
tim being Rex Murphy, son of Robert
Murphy.
Rex, who was young man about "a
years old, was out in the field with his
father and brother stacking grain. He
had been carrying shot gun with him
for shooting prairie chickens as he
would scare them up, and had fixed
place for it on the front standard of
the grain rack. He had the gun and
in endeavoring to put it back where he
carried it, it was discharged, cutting
away one thumb and the charge lodg-
ing in his abdomen. He rolled off the
load calling out that he was shot. He
was taken to the house and DR.. Lee
hastily summoned, and all efforts were
made to save the young mans life, but
the wound was mortal one and he
survived but few hours. Riceville

Lucky Accident.

Charles Yates he'd a narrow escape
from death at the electric light plant
early Wednesday morning, and as the
result of terrifying experience is
fortunately without other injury than
numerous bruises and bad scratches.
He is employed as night man at the
plant and had just started the engine
for the day run when he climbed up to
adjust belt on wheel running on
shaft which furnishes power to the
pump. In leaning over the wheel, a
bunch of waste IN rear pocket of his
overalls caught on the shaft, his
clothing was next wound around the
shaft and his body commenced to re-
volve about the shaft. His cries for
help attracted H. H. Huessellmann
who was passing, but he did not under
stand stopping the engine, and called
for help but before the engine was
stopped Yates fell to the floor with
every stitch of clothing, except one
shoe, torn from his body. Had the
shaft been turning at it's accustomed
speed the result would have been death
for Mr.. Yates. He was taken to his
home after his frightful experience
and to-day is sitting up at his home.

Double Wedding in Elma.

On Tuesday morning, Aug. 81, 1909,
at the Immaculate Conception Church
at Elma, occurred one of the prettiest
marriage ceremonies of the season,
when Teresa M. Owens became the
bride of William Powers, and Anna j.
Owens became the bride of Malek Du-
gan.
At exactly eight O'Clock to the
strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding
March, being rendered by Sr. NJ Gala
sanctius, the fair brides wended their
way to the altar where, having been
met by the prospective grooms, the
was performed by Rev. Father Gum,
who also celebrated the Nuptial High
Mass. A beautiful solo entitled ''The
Mercy Seat" was delightfully."- rendered
by Miss Mae Mahoney.
The brides were beautifully gowned
in dresses of white taffetta silk, elab-
orately trimmed in silk braid and
buttons and wore brides roses. The
grooms were dressed in the conven-
tional black.
The Misses Owens are the daughters
of Mr. and Mrs. William Owens and
are well and most favorably known
around this vicinity, having lived near
Lourdes all their lives until two years
ago when they moved to Elma. They
are both young ladies of exceptional
ability and will be missed in Elma by
the many friends which they made dur
ing the last two years.
Mr.. Powers, formerly lived in Ossian
but for the past two years has been in
business in Cresco He is a model
young man, and we trust that his
future life may be crowned with happi-
ness.
Mr.. Dugan is one of Cresco's most
popular business men and is well and
favorably known around Elma. Both
he and Mr.. Powers are to be congratu-
lated on their choice of life companions.
After the very pretty wedding cere-
ulOlly, d WeulililS DiSdhiooC was oSi NSu

Weather.Crop Bulletin.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 20, 1907
The week was unseasonably warm un-
til Saturday when the weather became
much cooler. The minimum tempera-
lures Saturday night ranged from 40 to
SO degrees, but the average daily ex-
cess of temperature for the week was
about S degrees. Light frost was OBJ
served Sunday morning on low ground
over the northern half of the state, but
it is not believed that much, if any,
damage was done. The prevailing
drouthy conditions were relieved some
what by showers in nearly all parts of
the state. The amounts of rainfall,
however, were generally light except
over the east central counties where
they ranged from one to over two
inches, and from so to over one inch
in the southwest district. Corn is doing
as we'll as could be expected under
present conditions; and in many locali-
ties where showers have prevailed, the
crop is still up to the average for this
season of the year; but where there has
been little or no rain many of the fields
are badly fired and in some sections the
late planted corn is beyond recovery.
The early planted fields are maturing
rapidly, and, with continued warm and
dry weather, SO per cent of the entire
crop will be safe from any damaging
effects from frost by September 20.
All of the remainder that can possibly
mature, will need favorable weather
until Oct. 1st. Fall plowing has been
practically suspended except in sections
where there have been copious showers,
and pastures are dry and brown. The
prospects for the pstato crop are very
unpromising and the second crop of
clover has been shortened which will
result in decrease in the yield of
clover seed as compared with last year.

Danger OF Materiaiism.

IL seems a little strange, then. That
one of the dangers of cur own en-
! lightenea time is that God should he
put out of everything but the Bible
and the meeting house The rich and
diversified materialism Of our dar is
one cause Of this tendency. Never
has man been able by his own inge-
nuity to produce so great "A variety
Of things to satisfy his own rapidly
multiplying tastes. Articles of food.
mechanical processes. methods Of
amusement are all multiplied almost
without limit Little wonder. then.
that man sees I'm the world about MIN
more and more Of his own skill and
strength, and less and less of divine
agency.
Another cause of this tendency to
leave God out is the scientific spirit
of the time. The scientist ranges
through the broad field Of nature In
earth and sea and Sky, attaining a
knowledge vastly greater than that of
amy preceding age. But the scientist.
as "A scientist, sees only matter ana
force. To him the richly blended land

of thrilling beauty. IA very whisper of

We attempt in our thought to reduce
a harvest to its ultimate physical
terms. Let MS apply the knife. the re-
tort, the acid, the microscope. and
what is the result? Tile apples and
