A Serious Accident.

Mr.. w. NJ. Flener, who lives on his
farm on the pike about half way be-
tween Hartford and Beaver Dam, met
with a severe accident last Friday
forenoon. He was clearing land,
burning away old tree trunks, and
had just driven up beneath a big
burning tree with a slide full OF
kindling wood. What happened just
then he has never been able to re-
member. When he did not come to
dinner his family became uneasy and
a son was sent to investigate. He
found his father stretched on tie
ground and unconscious. Evidently
he had been in that condition for
some time.
The young man dragged his faith
er aboard the slide and took him to
the family residence, some distance
away. A doctor was summoned and
1t was found that Mr.. Flener had suf-
fered from a hard blow on his head
and face, extending across his breast
and causing his teeth to lacerate his
tongue. The only explanation is that
heavy falling limb struck him
unawares. Had it struck him square
ly ON the head, it would have killed
him instantly. Mr.. Flener was re-
vived and although for awhile his
condition seemed serious, he is inn
proving and getting along as well as
could be expected.

ON NEXT FRIDAY
CENSUS BEGINS
Army of InterrOgators Will
Get Busy.
ESTIMATED 100000 SOULS
Will be Recorded as the Total
Number of Uncle Sans
Children.

With the break of day next FRI
day, the 18th instant, q host Of
10000 interrogators, men and women,
white and colored, will be turned
loose in pursuit Of the people of the
United States. On that day Uncle
Sam will begin numbering his chill
dren in preparation for the Thir-
teenth census. He estimates that he
has a family of about 90,OOO,OOO men,
women and children, and he already
has employed and will then put to
work a body of enumerators consider
ably greater than the standing army.
The law provides that the enumera-
tion shall begin on the 18th, but it
is not so peremptory about the COM
mencing time as about the closing
time, and already intimations have
been received that in some instances
the work may be postponed until Sat
urday. This is due to the fact that
the 18th falls on Friday, and among
the 10000 name-takers there are some
who are superstitious as to this day
Of the week.
The enumeration will cover all of
TIE forty-five States and two Terri
tories of the Union proper and also
Hawaii ard Porto Rico. Alaska, the
Philippine Islands and Guam will not
be included, as especial arrangements
are made for numbering the people
of these dependencies.
Under the statutes governing the
work the entire enumeration must be
completed within a month, and in the
cities the work is limited TO fifteen
DAYS.

These statements were made by a
Kentucky politician, who was mainly
instrumental in bringing about con-
ference of Democratic leaders from
all sections of the State fortnight
ago to discuss gubernatorial possible
titles.
That gentleman has just come from
a conference with McCreary, with au-
thority to say that he will be can
didate.

THE POOLING
a OF LIVESTOCK
To Be Added to Wool and
Tobacco.
A cpEnIhI pIEh End hMRc
A SPECIAL PLEA FOR LAMBS
Intention is to Enable Farm
erS to Sell Stock Direct
to Big Dealers.

The meeting of the Green Diver dis
trict, A. S. of E., at Calhoon, KY
April Z, was well attended and har-
monious. One day is entirely too
short a time to transact the business
that comes before a district meeting,
consequently things that should have
been more fully threshed out were
hurriedly passed over.
The one thing Of great Importance
to this district was the arrangement
made for pooling live stock.
Each county union president will
appoint a committee of three, who
will select a chairman, and the chair
nes OF the different counties. will
compose the district live stock COM
mittee.
We hope this work will be taken up
at once, so the lambs can be pooled
this year. We ask all members of the
A. S. of f. OF this district who have
or will have lambs for sale, not to
make any disposition of them until
this pool is started. All who are not
members may join the pool by paying
the dues and becoming members. We
can assure anyone who has lambs to
sell that the money saved by selling
in this pool will more than pay the
dues for this year. Moreover We are
going to handle all kinds of livestock
through the society and we are fully
assured that prices will be very
satisfactory to all.
Let's go to work at once and get
ready for the handling of our hogs
next fall
The prices are good now, but not
above the cost of production, with n
small profit, so long as feed is as
high as It is now.
However, if we raise more stock
and market it as in the past, prices
will again go below the cost Of pro-
duction, resulting, in this case, in an
dCludi SuOl IhBS VI llNSStOth'
The cry of back to the farm" is
being raised from one end of the
country to the other, but it seems
that all of them are expecting the
other fellows to do the going back.
After all the beautiful things that
have been said about the Tree life of
the farm, it is really astonishing to
see with what unselfishness they all
sand back to let some one else en-
ter into the joys of starting a days
work at 4 o'clock in the morning and
finishing it about or 1880 in the ev-
ening, and receiving as pay the full
some flattery of lot of fellows who
have pocketed the profits of the
days work.
Farmers, we only have ourselves to
blame II we let such conditions con-
tinue; for we have it in our power
to demand and obtain voice in
naming of the price for which we
sell our products; also in the pric-
ing of our supplies. About the latter,
We will explain more fully at some
other time.
Write or telephone President i. n.
Robertson, if you have lambs or wool
or any kind of livestock for sale.

The Explanation.

A Kansas City paper says the cause
of hard times and high prices is that
I'VE throw away ashes and buy soap;
We raise dogs and buy hogs; We grow
weeds and buy vegetables: we catch
fish with a "a rod; we build school
houses and send our children away
from home to be educated; we send
our boys out with a $40 gun and a
$40 dog TO hunt ten-cent game.

HOW TO GET AT BALL1NGER.

Ballinsers enemies who have
been pursuing him with desperate zeal
really believe that he is what they
say he is and that his administration
or MS office has been inefficient and
corrupt why do they not prefer arti-
cles OF impeachment against him and
let the Senate try his case according
to the law and the testimony, and not
for the purpose of playing party or
factional politics?
Let us get down to the meat Of the
matter. CLAWS made certain charges
against Balllnger, at the instance 1t
is believed. of Clifford Pinchot, backed
by James r. Garfield and Kcrpy, n
convenient and untrustworthy steno-
grapher. These charges were consid-
cred by the committee of Investigation
and we do not believe that one o..
them, as originally made, was sus-
tanned by the testimony. CLAWS, the
chief witness for the prosecutions. tes-
tilted under oath that he made no
charge of criminal act or intent
against Ballinger, but that, in his
opnion-the opinion of a subordinate
-Balllnger was not ut for his Office.
when Pinchot was placed on the stand
under oath, he did not offer the ieast
evidence In support OF his theory that
Ballngcr should be dismissed from
the service, and Kerby. the tool OF the
conspirators, made no disclosure that
would justify the persecution CT the
Secretary of the Interior.
1t is claimed now by the minority
OF the committee OF investigation tina,
the public good demands BalIlngcr''
