dence, 1907 Cedar street. The fam
lily became alarmed late yesterday
afternoon at the factions of the dog,
which displayed every symptom OF
being affected by rabies. Early in the
evening the dog went. into the cellar
and seemed to be- suffering. Mrs. Mil
Ter telephoned for the police and upon
the officers arrival. the dog was shot.
Whether the dog was really affected
by rabies is a question but Mrs. Miller
stated this morning that she believed it
safer to have the animal out of the
way than to risk having it go mad and
injure one Of the children. The dog
was a Scotch collie of good stock and
was great pet of the Miller children
and other youngsters residing in the
neighborhood.
Corning.
A short time ago there was some
talk that the oats crop was going to be
awful short. Now somes H. r. Davis,
who bought the c. c. Norton farm east
of Corning, and reports yield OF
eighty-four bushels per acre. The only
regret the gentleman has is he only
had eight acres. He had yield of
thirty six bushels of wheat to the acre.
That was "some oats" and not bad for
wheat and few years ago would have
caused people to come miles to see it.
but now it is good but nothing alarm
ing. There will not be many yields in
excess of Harvey's wheat yield, but
there will be some. The fellow who
beats his oats yield will be going
some.

separator near the cylinders to do some
oiling, thinking that he could finish be-
fore the machine was started again
but the engineer, not knowing that he
was inside the machine, started II
engine, with the result that before Mr.

deep cut about foot long on the in
side of the leg above and across the
knee. A physician was called, who
sewed up the wound and the injured

tremely lucky he was not more serious
ly injured.
