An Excruciating Accident.

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

Seriously Injured In Wood Saw.

Wednesday afternoon Charlie Palmer
of this city suffered one of the most
painful accidents that. have befallen
anyone ir DEBORAH in long time. He
was assisting L. l.. Mali with his wood
saving outfit near the Grand Opera
House. AS he was putting couple of
sticks onto the feed board. he slipped,
throwing himself onto the swiftly re-
volving saw. He was frightfully LAGER
ated on his right arm below the elbow,
the wrist being nearly severed, and a
bone about one inch long being taken
out. ...
With emarkable rerve Mr.. Palmer
ran block and half to DR.. M. D.
JEWELS office, staining the sidewalk
all the way with freely flowing blood.
At the office, Drs. Jewell, Thomas and
Swezey dressed the arm, and again
displaying his grit, Charlie walked
down the stairs to Charlie Barth's ex-
press, which took him home. He has
undergone excruciating pain and has
had to have the relief of opiates much
of the time. 1t now appears that his
arm can be saved. Journal.

Defeating cummins.

Brother Dunn got in right with the
Sioux City newspapers while attending
the grain convention. To the Tribune
he talked progressiveism and the de

predicted the defeat of Cummins. ID
The following is from the Journal:
"Senator Cummins will be unable to
close the breach between the republi-
lican and progressive parties, thus as
surfing his reelection two years hence,
predicted E. G. Dunn, of Mason City,
late gubernational candidate on the
democratic ticket, who addressed the
grain dealers convention last week.
"Mr. Dunn asserted the Iowa demo-
Gratis will elect a senator and governor
at the next general election. Pros
poets are bright, he asserted, for the
democrats to gain control of the state
administration, providing they stick
together.
"Mr. Dunn refused to discuss his
political aspirations. "A man is foolish
to announce, after being defeated for
an office, that he will not make the
race again, Mr.. Dunn said. Usually
he becomes a candidate. will not
state whether I shall make the race
for the governorship two years hence
