Clarence Starrett of Lynn, Mass,
was terribly injured Friday morning
when he accidentally received rifle
bullet in the abdomen, the ball tearing
away part of one kidney. He was

Grasping the rifle by the muzzle he at
tempted to shove the gun into the
wagon. The hammer caught upon some
thing and the rifle was discharged, the
32-40 bullet entering the abdomen at
one side, tearing away the muscles, in
juring the kidneys and coming out of the
body in his back. 1t is said that the in
jured man was not accustomed to hand
ling firearms.

RICHES FOR THE RED MAN. (Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.l

The 0sage Indians are the richest in the world. and soon they are go- ing to be even richer. Their wealth is registered at $20000 per capita at the Indian office. Secretary Lane if the Interior Department recently gave his approval to new leases rum ming for five years, whereby the 0sage Indians rent their valuable oil lands in Oklahoma to some of the big oil companies This will in crease the average annual income of
 he two thousand Osage Indians from $500 to Si GOO per annum. The leases will cover ahout 6S0.000 acres. IL is estimated that the annual income of the 0s6ge tribe under the new leases will aggregate at least S2,500,- GOO in addition to the S3,233,000 re- eeived in cash at recent sales, as against about S500000 heretofore re- ceived annually under the old leas- es, which expired last March.

COTTON GRADER AT ALLEN GIN
Shows the Nine Different Grades for
 Comparison With Samples.

T. A. Allen has a cotton grader at his gin which he is anxious for the farmers to use before putting their cotton on the market. The grader shows nine grades of cotton, there being four grades above and four below the middling basis. The grades below. beginning with the lowest are; Good Ordinary. Strictly Good Ordinary. Low Middling, and Strictly Low Middling Going up from the Middling basis. the grades are: Strict Middling, Good Mid ding. Strictly Good Middling, and Mlddling Fair There is a general impression that much of the cotton being marketed in Polk county this year would grade from Good Middling to Middling Fair. tho in grading the cotton much depends upon the good judgment of the grader as to which grade a particu- lar sample belongs.

 This movement was started by the League to Enforce Peace which was organized at Philadelphia a little more than a year ago. The President of the League is w. H.

 We are told they rooted out an entire crop of sweet potatoes for one of his neighbors. got another's s crop of melons, the garden and nearly all little chickens of widow, besides other forays in corn and other grain fields. They caused several farmers to lose an hour or so each day to be sure their fences were hog tight; several kept a child in the field to watch. They caused a fight and law suit in which both parties were fined. They caused one farmer to do two months work in the winter cutting rails, and another farmer Go buy over 500 worth of war-nriee wire and all this for a smear of hogs not worth SEQ
 Yes. We believed the owner when he said t didn't cost much to raise hogs.
 It pays to feed hogs when bacon sells at i5c to 20c a pound. lt pays better to feed your own hogs than those of someone else. It would pay better Co have a good small hog pasture, we'll planted and fenced, than to have so many acres fenced with high priced wire that won't produce as much good pork as the good cultivated hog lot. Go vote for the hog law and get less hog wire and more hogs.
