The results of the Canadian election
on reciprocity was heralded with de-
light, Dy u big farmer from the south,
j. B. Sweeney, and if you mention it to
him he laughs all over his face, half

B. says that he was losing from eight
to ten dollars on every load of grain
he sold.
Anybody who wishes to see how
rough scrub land may be brought under
thorough cultivation should 60 and see
the forty odd acres of that class of land
broken by James Brady this past sum-
mer. By the time he has it ready for
crop it will look like a piece a land that
has been under cultivation several
years being as mellow as a garden. Mr..
Brady is a strong advocate of deep and
thorough soil cultivation and judging
by the results he achieves in the way of
good crops he IS right. Even last year
his wheat averaged II bushels to the
acre all through.
Merchant J. B. Beauchamp on his
trip to the Twin Cities and other points
took in the Minnesota state fair at St.
Paul and being himself a large farmer
was interested in the machinery exhibit
which he reports as being fine. He was
especially interested in a tanning mill he
saw and thought it so good that he
bought two of them and is anxious tt
show what good work can be done with
these mills and invites anybody who il
interested to call at his place of bust
ness where he will show them the hes
work they have ever seen done by
flaming mill. He also purchased a fou:
horse push grader for ditching, which
is something extra in the line.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
AT WALES MONDAY
Elevator Agent Maloney Fall Forty
Feet Into Bin of the Peavy
Elevator

Wales village was stirred to its depth
last Monday night about eleven O'Clock
when 1T was learned that Jack Maloney
had fallen from the top of the elevator
into a forty feet bin and received what
was then thought to be fatal injuries
Mr.. Maloney had recently accepted the
position of grain buyer for the P. V.
Elevator Co., and in,trying to get it
ready for Tuesday mornings business
worked until a very late hour, which
was the cause of the accident that
SO nearly, and which may yet cost him
his life. 1t seems that he accompanied
by j. j. Ross and Mike Flynn had been
working on the engine for some time
and having got the engine to work
satisfactorily he and Flynn took a Ian
tern and went up to the top of the
elevator to tighten the drive bel. be
being ahead on the ladder while Flynn
came behind carrying the lantern. 1t
seems that when Maloney had reached
the next to the last floor he stepped off
the ladder, thinking he had reached the
top which has a floor covering the whole
area of the room, but Instead he was on
the first floor from the top, which has
only a narrow ledge, and in stepping
aside to make room for Flynn he stepped
into space and fell to the bottom. The
bin has a hopper bottom and doubtless
to this Maloney ives his life, as this no
doubt broke the fall. Needless of the
danger he ran, Flynn grasped his lam
tern and descended into the bin which
was only about five by six feet and cover
ed by a foot or more of dust. Upon
reaching the bottom he found himself
unable to stand or sit owing to the
shape of the bottom of the bin or I'M
able set his lantern down. Holding the
lantern in n hand he managed to work
his body beneath that of Maloney which
had become wedged into the opening of
the bin. Meantime Ross who had heard
the fall CROPPED his way to the top of the
ladder IN the Stygian darkness and
found who, shall tell how, the bin in
which the mon we're and hastily lowered
himself into it, and the two men finding
they could not remove Maloney, decided
that Flynn should stay with him while
Ross went for help which was soon OBJ
tanned, and a rope was lowered and at.
tached to Maloney and he was lifted tc
top. Then Flynn bore him on his
shoulders aided by the rope in the
hands of those on the top and reached
ground. He was carried to his home
where DR. Backus aided later by DR.
Law found an arm and leg br ken his
chest badly caved In and several rib.
broken. Relatives and friends were
summoned and everything possible has
been done for him and he seems to have
an even chance for life. If he lives b,

efforts of Flynn and Ross in his recover,
for no one could long survive in tina

the greatest wonder is that the Lighted

which case all would have been cremat

for all and if Jacks friends who ar
legion can in any way aid his recover,
he will pull through for the deepes
