Louis Stiibb bad what might have
been a Bcrioua accident on Saturday last.
While driving his car along the road
about two miles southwest of town the
machine ran into a ditch turned com
pletely over and caught the driver be
neath. Aside from a few bruises and a
dislocated forearm the patient made his
escape and ia up and around.
An organization has been formed
among the retail merchants of Schuyler
to protect themselves against the profes
sional deadbeats. The system of the
deailheats will be met by a system,
ilere-to-fore parties who had accounts
with oue merchant anil refused to pay
the hill would open an account with an
other merchant, and thus go the rounds
of every store in town. That cannot be
done now. When a merchant is beaten I
out of an account he reports t the sec
retary of the organization and he m
turn reports to all either merchants that
that person ih on the blacklist and to re
quire cash. This should make th: dead
beats come to time, at lonst it will be a
great saving to the merchants.

Geo. Liebee, who was found on the

on his back porch just at dark and began
to throw things at him. One of the

Mrs. Sam Munger of Columbus, whom
he did not known was in the neighbor
hood, was one of the party. After the
unprovoked as-mlt had allowed Mr.Eby to
recover his senses, he iudentifled the

ROYAL
ROAR OF BIG GUNS.
The Effect Upon the Nerves and the
Sense of Hearing.
One of the penalties attendant on
firing off big guns is deafness. So
sure is this penalty- to be exacted that,
it is asserted, no man can go through
a long series of gunnery practice with
out having his hearing affected. A
stranger on deck who hears a big gun
speak for the first time will not soon
forget the stunning report.
One gun is enough to startle n stran
ger, but the shattering effect of the
whole armament when in action to
gether can hardly be conceived. The
strain upon nerves andenses when the
rending concussion takes place is ter
rible. There is not a great difference lie
tween the effect of the big guns and
that of the smaller pieces, strange as
It may seem. If the visitor places
himself beside one of the smaller guns
and then listens to the roar of the big
one, the sound will not appear much
louder than that of the gun by his side.
The extra distance to the muzzle of
the big piece discounts the sound. The
only apparent difference between the
two will Imj that the smaller piece has
a sharper, higher pitched tone, and
that the big guns speak with a more
bellowing roar.
If one watches the firing of the gun
the crash has not such a startling ef
fect as when it comes unexpectedly.
Loud as it Is. nature has prepared the
watcher to resist tho shock which he
knows Is impending. Exchange.

PLATTE CBNTKH
From the Sicaal.
The majority of farmers hereabouts
are gathering their corn this week. The
corn is not in the beat condition for crib
bing, owing to the lateness of frosts,
but the time for harvesting it is here and
for fear of bad weather next month they
are getting busy.
Fred Meyer last Saturday left at the
Signal office a freak stalk of corn which
was grown on his farm in Shell Creek
township. This stalk contains three
good sized, well developed and matured
ears of corn. In addition another ear
had started and developed to the silking
stage. Two well developed ears on one
stalk ia a rare occurence, but three ears
is something few corn raisers ever wit
nessed. An important business change ook
place in Platte Center last week, the
Glodowaki Brothers disposing of their
hardware ami implement stock to Homer
Robinson, of Columbus. The doors
were locked Monday morning and in
voice, which will probably take all the
week, is being tnken. The Glodowskis
took a quarter lection of land, northeast
of Oolumbns, in the deal. Mr. Robinson
says he does not intend to conduct the
business hiuiMtlf but will have a man
here to attend to it. The Glodowskis
have not yet determined what they will
do.

REINDEER IN LAPLAND.
They Furnish the People With Shelter,
Clothing and Food.
Some people have said that the rein
deer of the northern regions is to the
Inhabitants of those countries what
the horse, cow and sheep together are
to the dwellers In southern lands, and
very probably they are right. What
would the Laplander lie were he de
prived of his favorite? How could he
travel without his pair of reindeer
harnessed to his sledge?
The reindeer has large black hoofs,
behind which are false or secondary
hoofs: the result is that when running
they make a clattering sound, which
may be heard a good distance away.
The reindeer has much endurance and
takes n long Journey without seeming
tired, though It Is only about four and
a half feet in height and not very
strong. Its horns are long and slender,
with branched, rounded antlers, but
they are not much used in combat. like
those of some other deer.
The largest reindeer are found where
the weather Is coldest, and their color
Is lighter. Usually It is brown and
white, but In the case of old animals
the hair Is sometimes quite white.
From the skin of the reindeer the Lap
landers get not only their clothes, but
also bedding and tents; the milk Is
drunk and made into cheese and the
flesh Is also good to eat, the tongue
and haunches being particularly liked.

OLD ENGLISH BOXERS.
Hired to Prevent Trouble at Gtorae
IV.'s Coronation.
Boxing was introduced into England
In the earlier part of the eightieth
century, its first practitioner being
John ltroughtou. who kept a booth for
exhibitions iu Tottenham Court road.
London, and rules were drawn up
Aug. 10. 1743. The vogue was due to
the decline of sword combat exhibi
tions In the reign of Civorge I. Brougb
ton himself was the first who stood In
the position of champion, a distinction
which he htld for eighteen years, but
eventually he was knocked out by a
butcher named Slack. Brougkton was
n great pet of the Duke of Cumber
laud, who took the pugilist with him
to Berlin, when he declared himself
ready to take on the entire regiment
of grenadier guards there "if he were
only allowed a breakfast between each
two battles."
The English fighter Tom Cribb once
secured a very remarkable engage
ment. Just lfore the coronation of
Goorge IV. certain sympathizers with
Queen Caroline bragged that on the
day of the ceremonial they would
make matters warm In the neighbor
hood of Westminster abbey, and this
reached the ears of the earl marshal.
That high functionary sought an in
terview with the pugilist "Gentleman"
Jackson, who taught Lord Byron to
box.
Jackson got together some two dozen
bruisers. Besides Crlbb, the band In
cluded John Gully. In turn fighting
man, racing man, colliery proprietor
and member of parliament. Thpy were
attired as king's pages and gathered
about the abbey doors. There was no
trouble. Chicago News.
The Man Behind the Message.
The value of a tiling depend- largely
upon who says it. Words may be bul
lets, but character must be the jwwdor
at the back of them to give them pro
jectile force. The man behind the mes
sage is as important as the man lehind
the gun.
