Peter, the eight year old son of Mr.

accident last Friday evening which may
be the cause of loosing one of his feet.
He was out playing around the brick
yard with several of bis companions and
while in that part of the building where
they unload the clay into a crusher, he
in some way slipped into the crasher
with one foot. Tiie crasher is con
structed with rollers in snch a way that
anything coming in contact with the
rollers is drawn through them almost
itiBtantly. Chas. Kranse who was feed
ing the crusher at the time' managed to
catch ho)d of tbe bpy just as he slipped
in and at the same time succeeded in
throwing off tne belt of tbe machine by
trowing a hammer into it The boys
foot was drawn into tbe rollers up above
the ankle, and practically all the skin
on tbe foot and ankle was pealed off,
but fortunately no bones were broken.
The young man was quickly brought to
town and a doctor called. The wound
was thoroughly examined and dressed
and on Saturday morning he was taken
to St. Joseph's hospital in Omaha by
bis father an.d Dr. Lamb.

of Mikado were afflicted with a peculiar
ailment. The syptoms being a rashy
outbreak all over the body and shooting
pains through the arms and lower limbs.
None of the symptoms of smallpox were
in evidence however aad upon further
investigation the doctor found that tbe
disease is characteristic of the Japanese
and Chinese people. It is known to
medical science as' Beri-Beri and fre
quently results fatally. The. trouble in
this'case was caused by a change of diet
from rice to corn bread and swine bosom.
It was a case where the Jap couldn't
stand to be fed on tbe fat of the bud
without becoming sick.

It is alright to preach that a man
sbonld love his neighbor as himself it is
so good and platonic. But it is not al
ways possible. Take for instance the
man who has just planted a fine garden
and bis neighbor has chickens which be
persists in permitting to run at large.
How can the man with the garden love
that neighbor as himself? It simply
can't be done so long as those chickens
are not shut up tight.
