Injuries Serious

While repairing the roof Of the
wagon sheds Of the John Becker
Company, back Of the mill, last
Saturday morning, E. B. Harris
suffered a fall which has confined
him to his bed and will for some
time yet. In attempting to get
down from the roof, which is
about eight or nine feet from the
ground, he was letting himself
down, preparatory to jumping,
when his clothing caught in a
nail, somersaulting him SO that
he fell On his head.
He was picked up and taken to
the New State Hotel, where an
examination was made. His right
arm and, shoulder were partially
paralyzed, but this has been slow
ly improving. His shoulder and
spine were so badly wrenched
that it was feared it might prove
fatal. Late reports, however,
are that he is improving, with fair
chances Of recovery, if no COM
plications appear.

THE Flag Of Our Union:
o. say, can you see by the dawn's
early light,
In the broad glare Of day and
the twilight's last cleaning,
Those many square banners OF
bright, snowy white,
From each clothes line and fence
wire so CALAMITY streaming.
And the starlight's faint glare as
they huttered in air,
Gave proof through, the night
that the flags were still there.
Oh! long may these banners, in
triumph still wave,
Ger the land of the free and
the home Of the brave.

j. A. Dis, who has heen suffer
ing from blood poisoning, is re-
ported as improving. For some
days past he has been a very sick
man. About two weeks ago he
cut his thumb, while cutting some
meat, but thought nothing Of the
matter as it was SO small. The
next day while cleaning out g
waste pipe from the kitchen sink,
the sore must have become in

not only the whole hand but the
arm as well was swollen and ex-
ceedingly painful. The arm, up
to the elbow, has been swollen
several times its natural size, but
is being reduced by poulticing.
While it will be some time before
he will be able to use the mem
ber, he is apparently on the road
to recovery.

notify the parties addressed that
