Columbus.--That there are at least
Jerious accidents in Ohio manufactur-
ng establishments every year was in
iicated by figures which will be part
Of the annual report of Inspector of
Workshops and Factories T. P.
Kearns. This years report will in
,lude $500 accidental injuries to en-
ployes which necessitated absence
from work for two days or more. The
per cent Of fatalities is large.
The department now for the first
time in its history is getting fairly
complete reports from factory own
ers. The result is due to law en-
acted last winter which makes man
ufacturers liable to a fine of $10O to
$500 for failure to report accidents
as provided by the law. The effect
Of the new law is apparent in the
tact that the report last year showed
$500 accidents as against 6,7OO this
year, of which only 1000 were re-
ported prior to the new law becom-
ing operative June IL.
The statistics gathered will be
tabulated as means of showing
what industries are the most danger
Gus. For less than five months for
which there are complete records
there are shown to have been 4,100
serious accidental injuries. At that
rate it is declared by the state in
spector that the annual number
would average about 10000. AS there
are close to 100000 people employed
in factories in Ohio, the figure indi-
Gates that one in every so is injured
every year.

SQUIRRELS OVERRUN CITY.
MarshalltOwn Residents Think Little
Animals Are Becoming
Nuisance.

Marshalltown, July 31.-That the
pretty fox squirrels, which started
with a few pairs in the northwest
part of the city a few years ago, are
fast becoming a nuisance, is realized
by many people in this city, and
threaten to become problem at the
present annual rate of increase.
At present the squirrels are pro-
tected by city ordinance, which pro-
vides a penalty for killing them, but
if the destruction of property keeps
up at the rate now noticeable in
some parts of town, the chances are
that the city council will be asked
to act as has been the case in other
Iowa cities where squirrels have be-
come very plentiful.
When the early cherries first be-
gan to ripen squirrels filled them
selves up on them, and probably
took more of the cherries than the
different varities of birds that enjoy
the cherry season. In the second
ward, where the squirrels are prob
ably more plentiful than in any other
district in the city, squirrels are eat
ing crab apples, stripping trees OF
the unripened fruit, in order to get
the seeds. Sweet corn, unmatured, is
also proving feast for the rodents,
which climb up the stalks to the
ears, gnaw away the husks, and strip
an ear in no time.
The squirrels are bold in their
thefts, and would as soon the owners
of the property stood and looked on
as not

The Value of q Rain.

Assuming that the rain of Satur-
day night was general over the state
it is interesting to do little figuring
as to it's value in dollars and cents
to the Iowa corn crop, says the Rock
ford Register. The area devoted to
corn this year in the state Is $685.
600 acres, which at the average yield
for last years crop, SO bushels per
acre, means a grand total Of 1884,
$4,000 bushels. At forty cents a
bushel this crop represents a money
value of $141, 86S,000. Putting two
and two together-if as a result of
the rain of Saturday night the condi-
ton of the corn crop was improved
ten per cent land this would seem
conservative it had cash value of
$14, $4,000. In the above estimate
the price of corn is put at forty cents
per bushel, the price that would be
received were all of it sold. The
fact of the matter is that consider
ably more than half of the crop is
fed at home, which gives it value
of from forty to ninety cents a
bushel. Hence the value of the late
rain, when figured out to the end,
is seen to be far greater than the
figures given.

BARN BUILDINGS BURNED.
Buildings on the Peter Hove Farm
Destroyed by Fire.

One of the most disastrous fires
that has occurred in this vicinity for
some time occurred Wednesday
shortly before noon, when practically
all the buildings but the house on
the Peter Hove farm seven miles
southeast of Cresco, were destroyed.
A large barn containing about fifty
tons of hay, silo, tool shed, double
corn crib, about 800 bushels of she'll
ed corn, 100 bushels of wheat and
some oats were burned.
The man who lives on the place
was in the field when his wife dis
covered the large barn on fire. She
gave the alarm and help soon arriv-
ed, but the flames spread SO rapidly
that it was impossible to check
them, so their efforts were turned to
saving the machinery. While so en-
gagged Mr.. Hove received a severe
injury to his side which rendered
him unconscious, and not until
Thursday morning was he able to
recognize anyone or speak.
The loss is estimated at $4,000.
The origin of the fire, which evident
ly started in the large barn, is un-
known. There are no children on
the place and no one so far as is
known, had been about the barns
since morning. 1t is supposed, how
ever, that it started in the hay, prob
ably due to spontaneous combustion.
Mr.. Hove had several policies of in
surance, but at this time it is not
known just what the total insurance
is.-Cresco Times.

CIRCUS LEAVES HORSES.
Two Carloads of Work Stock For.
gotten by Barnum & Bailey
Show.

With the we'll known system of
management and the precision with
which the work of a great circus is
done, it is not often that serious mis-
takes in the work occur. Such, how
ever was the case with Barnum &
Bailey's circus as it was leaving Mar
shalltown over the Iowa Central for
Mason City. When the fourth and
last train pulled out of the Central
yards two carloads of work horses,
thirty-six animals were forgotten on
siding. 1t was supposed that the
train was complete and the cars
were left because they were detach-
ed from the rest of the cars by the
train being cut for the crossing, just
before it was made up to leave. The
cars were discovered soon afterwards
and were sent to Mason City on a
freight train. AS the day was Sun
day no serious inconvenience to the
circus resulted, such as would have
been the case on a week day.

$1,000 TO EACH COUNTY.
Secretary of State to Turn Over All
Collections to Treasurer Aug.
1st, When Fund Will be
Distributed.

Each county in the state of Iowa
will receive approximately $1,000
for good roads purposes when Treas
urer of State Morrow divides the
fund created by the new auto law
on Aug. LIST.
This is the estimate which has
been made by Secretary of State
Hayward and Treasurer Morrow.
The secretary of state has already
turned little more than $21, 900
into the state treasury in fees collect
ed under the motor tax law. This
deposit was made July Is. Under
ordinary circumstances another de-
post would not be made until Aug.
10. too late for the Aug. l appor-
tionment. Secretary Hayward has de-
cided, however, to make deposit of
all the fees collected during July on
the morning of Aug. l., which will
be in time for the apportionment.
From July 1 to July 81, the secre-
tary Of state has collected a little
more than $4,000 in fees. The daily
collections have averaged during the
last week between $4,000 and $12,-
600. This will make the total July
collections in the neighborhood of
100000.
1t Is estimated that, after the
states fifteen per cent has been de-
Quoted, the fund will amount to
about 100000. There are ninety
nine counties in the state, hence it
is figured that each county will draw
in the neighborhood of $1,000.
The one little problem which per-
picked the state treasurer in his
work preparatory to distributing the
money among the counties has been
cleared. The law provides that the
money shall go to the counties in
proportion to the number of town
ships in the county, to the whole
number of townships in the state.
The law did not state, however,
which kind of townships was to be
considered-civil or congressional.
The attorney general ruled yester-
day, however, that civil townships
are to be considered.

The Road Hog.

The most dangerous wild animal
now at large in America is the road
hog, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. He is sometimes the owner
of an automobile. More frequently
he is an upstart chauffeur of medic
ere mentality. who has the manners
of a ruffian and is without the slight
est sense of responsibility or care
for the comfort or safety of the oc-
cupants of his car or other users of
the highway. He is tempermentally
bad citizen and patentially muir
derer. When he causes an accident
by violating speed laws and the laws
of common sense and common cour-
tesy he deserves a long sentence in
the penitentiary. When juries mete
out the proper punishment the road
hog will become less conspicuous as
public nuisance and a menace to
public safety.

Where is the Town?

There is town in this state that
has no church. 1t has a population
of 1874, but it has two banks which
have combined deposits of $1,O23,-
1872, or $2,459 for each man, woman
and child in the village. In bank de-
posts it is the richest town in the
state. The town also has four So
looms, but the boast is that no one
ever gets drunk in them. The peo-
pie are nearly all descendants OF
German settlers who came to the
place nearly three quarters OF cen
fury ago, from the German province
of Schleswig Holstein.-Dubuqu

Clammer Makes Big Find.

Harry Hayes, clammer of North
Bellevue, made a lucky find while
claiming in the Mississippi river
this week, which undoubtedly breaks
all former records. He was engag-
ed in digging near an old saw mill
and pulled up a clam of the pimple
back variety. Upon being opened it
was found to contain a splendid,
costly turtle-back slug. 1t is said
to be of great value. Concealed in
the meat of the clam was found an
eight grain pearl and another of the
eighteen grains, the latter valued at
more than $500. There were other
but less costly gems in the clam also
and the find is considered one of the
most remarkable ever made.
