Stanton Picket. On Friday night of last week, MisB Rose Scbmid received an injury at the hands of Jane Kingston that might have proved very serious. It seems that as Miss Schmid was driving home their cows, one of them strayed over on the side of the road near Jane Kingston's place; Jane at once came running out with a rake and striking at Rose, drove her home. Jane then went home and and Rose again came on( in front of her home began to milk the cows. Jane again came running out, this time arm ed with a pitch fork Hnd drove the Schmid girl into her own yard, then struck her with the fork. The fork struck her on the inner side of the arm, just above the elbow, entirely up thro ugh the muscles for some distance. The wound was at once treated by a physician and also pronounced danger ous. While so far the wound is healing naturally, still there was danger of blood poison or lock jaw as the fork was quite rusty. A complaint has been filed against Jane Kingston but the trial has hns not yet come off. This is rather a serious case and we think that Jane will not find it so easy to get out aB some of her cases, were. There is talk of trying her before the board of insanity, but this is getting old as that has been tried be fore. There is one thing sure, there should be soineting done. She is no fit person to live in communitity, as she is always having trouble. ATiltlOX. From tlio Argus. , While Edna Wood worth, dMigfater-of L. S. Woodworth, was visiting at her uncle Ed's Monday evening, and was playing around the wagon, she fell in some way, her clothes caught on the the wheel throwing her in such a man ner as to break her arm just above the wrist, the bones protruding. This was a eickning affair. It was some time before the wound could be dressed as they had to bring her to town to Hit doctor. She is getting along a well as could be expected, George Gee. sr., got a severe shaking up Saturday night that came near being the finish of him. Along toward eleven o'clock ho stepped out to look around the corner of his shop to see the state of the weather. It was terrible dark and he stepped a little to far west and fell into a hole left; in the tioor of the Stei ner building. He didn't fall to the bot tom of the cellar but the impact with the joist broke three of his ribs loose and nearly broke his arm. His condition is very painful and it will be weeks be fore he is able to do anything. A crack ed rib is bad enough but a lot of broken ones is still worse. CRESTON. From the Statesman.

A cool dining-room Is one of the greatest blessings one can possess in summer, but if one's room is not cool on account of its location it can be kept cool with not a great deal of difficulty. Air the house thoroughly in the morning before the sun gets hot, and then close the windows to the very bottom aud pull the shades all the way down. Close the door leading into the kitchen to keep the odor of the cook ing out of the dining-room. If the room despite these precautions gets hot and sultry wring sonic cloths out of cold water and hang them in front of the window, which you have partial ly opened, aud allow the breeze to blow through the wet cloths until they are dried. Quickly close the win dows aid place a dish or pail of cold water in the middle of the room. As scon as the water becomes warm re move it from the room. Even on the most sultry, muggy day this method will seldom fail to cool and refresh the air of the room. Add ing a diop of two of oil of lavender to the water will give the room a deli cate, indistinct ordor and will drive away any tlies which chance to be there. Left-Over fcggs. Eggs that have been hard boiled and sent to the table and untouched can be sliced and dressed with mayon naise. Fried eggs can be run through a food chopper, mixed with potatoes and cooked in potato balls. Poached eggs should be reheated and cooked done and run through a ricer to add to salads. Boiled or fried eggs if run through a ricer and mixed with finely chopped meat make good croquettes. If the yolk of an egg is used and the white is left, beat it and stir into apple sauce. A broken egg can be cov ered with water, placed in the refrig erator and will keep for several days. Cement Blocks and Artifi cial Stone.
