Mr.. OSbourn Hurt.

Mr. OSb0urn Hurt.
Jacob S. OSbourn, well-known FARM
er OF this neigh6orhood, narrowly eScap-
ed a horrible death at Kearneysville last
Friday morning. He was at the village
attending to some business, and, waiting
until freight train going east had passed,
had stepped on the railroad track when
helper engine, running swiftly backward,
west-bound, struck him before he could
heed a warning cry and step back from
danger. II is thought that the step of the
engine struck him and hurled him to one
side. He was thrown with great force,
and his head striking on the steel rail of
the side track, he was knocked senseless.
He was picked up and carried to the Of
flee of DR.. c. c. Lucas, where every at
tention was given him, and in about half
hour he recovered consciousness. An
examination showed that his left leg
was broken above the knee, his head
was most severely cut. and other bruises
and contusions sustained. DR.. Venning
was called in consultation from Charles
Town, and under their care Mr.. OSbourn
was removed to his home later in the day.
There seems to have been no internal in
jury, and Mr.. Osbourn is now getting
along as well as could be expected, with
every hope Of an early recovery.

A VISITOR IN CITY
Mrs. W. III. c. KeOugh, Chicago,
Commends High School Domes-
tic Science Department.

Mrs. w. c. H. Keough of Chicago,
in charge of the educational depart
ment of the n. X Fairbanks company,
is in Rock Island for brief visit.
Mrs. Keough was formerly a member
of the board of education of Chicago
and through her work in this and 9th
er fields has gained a state and coun-
try-wide reputation in educational
lines. Yesterday afternoon she visit
ed the Rock Island high school and
inspected the domestic science depart
ment. In an interview with an Argus
representative this morning at the
New Harper, where she is registered
she stated that the high school may
we'll be proud of its excellent domes-
tic training department and of the
superintendent of it, Mrs Emily Nc
Curdy. Mrs. Keough, of course, is here
in the interest of her company. She
has the distinction of being the only
woman employed in such a capacity.
"Cottolene and Its Food Values is
the topic of Mrs. Keough's talks 10
all. CottOlene. as few person know,
is made from cotton seed oil, and is an
American product made under pure
food laws. In fact, great deal of the
so-called olive oil, she states. is moth
ing but cotton seed oil, and the Amer
leans buy il simply because it is Of
European manufacture. Mrs. Keough
contends that infantile paralysis and
other diseases are caused by the use
of meats and fats taken from hogs, and
that until the people of this world
learn how to eat properly and what
should be eaten they will be unable to
keep up with their finely developed
brain

WALKER RESIDENCE
ENTERED BY THIEVES
Watch, Ring and Revolver Stolen
Family Visiting Across the
Street at the Time.

The residence of Charles Walker.
22O3 Sixth avenue, was entered by
burglars last night between 6 and Z
o'clock while members of the family
were across the street visiting with
Mrs. Walkers mother. When the
folks returned they found the house in
disorder and several articles of value
missing A watch, a revolver and a
ring had been stolen. The theory is
that the burglars entered the house
through a window which opens on the
front porch. While they were still at
work the family returned and the
thieves made their way out of the
house through q bathroom window on
the second floor. jumping into a sand
pile in the yard. The police are in
vestigating the affair, though there
seems little chance of their finding out
who the burglars were, as they left no
trace behind them.
