will it destroy them, but its tonic

A Distressing Accident.

A sad accident befell seven-year-
old boy named Munson across the
river from Lansing last week. The
little fellow with his mother and aunt
were on their way home from Ferry
vile and when his feet got cold he
got out of the buggy and ran along
behind 1t was while climbing onto
the buggy his legs became tangled in
one of the wheels and before his
mother could stop the horses, one OF
the boys legs was wrenched COM
pletely off and lay in the road be-
hind them, having been twisted from
the socket at the knee and the flesh
practically yanked apart. One arm
was also fractured and his body sad
s9y bruised. He bids fair to recover
from his injuries too.-Waukon Dem

DR.. McKIM FORECASTS
NO CHANGE OF NAME

To the Editor: A year ago 7 made a
prediction that the General Convention.
which will meet next October, would not
be likely to change the name of the
church. There are several indications
that my prediction will be fulfilled.
Several dioceses that were then in favor
of the change are now opposed to the
change of name. For example. Louis
lana, which three years ago sent as its
deputy one strongly in favor of the
change, has now elected a delegation
solidly opposed to it, and now Pennsyl-
vania. which a year ago was in favor Of
the change, has declared itself by an
overwhelming vote opposed to it: and
the diocese of Washington, which a year
ago was accounted in the column favor
able to the change, yesterday put itself
Enthusiastically on record as distinctly op-
posed to it.
II is true that two deputies out of the
eight Yesterday elected were, three years
ago, in favor Of the change; but it is to
be observed that no one was elected a
deputy yesterday who declared himself
in favor OF changing the name of the
church. The whole spirit and action OF
the Washington convention yesterday
showed that it is now in the column op-
posed to the change.
The four lay deputies elected yesterday
vention and declared his opposition to
Smith and myself were both on record
as against ii.
