Keyes, a woman aerouaut of Chicago, had a hair­ breadth escape from dentil at the Lake county fair at Libertyville last week. She was iujnred so badly that she may not recover. She fell 500 feet from tbe balloon iu which she ascended, and if it had not been that she had the presence of mind to cling to a parachute which did not open, iu the desperate hope that it might unfold before she struck the ground, she would have lost her life. She sprained both her ankles and was bruised, but lives to tell of her experi- ence. _____ L_ ___ Clam Cbwwder.

Freund, met with quite a severe acci­ dent Tuesday afternoon, when he fell from a second story window of the Freund home on Waukegan street to a hard cement sidewalk below, a distance of about sixteen feet. In falling, the unfortunate little victim struck on. bis head, thereby fracturing his skull. Dr. Fegers was summoned immediately and took the victim of the accident iu charge. The little fellow is resting quite easily at this writing, and it is thought that he will pull thru allright, altho he had a very narrow escape from death. , Had i>»y for ltutvberH. "While cboppiug meat at tbe Frett market last Friday, Martin Stoffel acci­ dentally chopped off the end of his left thumb with a cleaver. His injury was at once dressed at the office of Dr. Fe­ gers. Drs. Fegers were still dressing the injured ineiuber when < r. Neish, also a butcher, of Fox Lake, stepped into the office with a case similar to Stoffel's, taking the end of his left thumb off in the same manner. In a few moments both butchers were seen coming from the office with their left thumbs bandaged up.

The instrument is for use in grading for three and four horse attachment and may reduce the labor for the animals fifty per cent. Nunda Herald: Thos. Powers and Richard Thompson of McHenry were in town last Tuesday, shaking hands with old friends, on their way to the 95th re­ union at Harvard. Mr. Powers has re­ covered from the injuries sustained by the dynamite explosion at McHenry this spring, the last attention from the surgeons being the removal of a piece of iron from his neck. He took in the G. A. R. encampment at Minneapolis and greatly enjoyed the trip. A funny story about a physician is going the rounds. A resident of tbe town set out four shade trees for the doctor. A short time later the physi­ cian was called to attend the mother-in- law of ttie man who set ont the trees. The old lady died and the physician presented his bill. After paying it the citizen thought of the trees and made out and presented a bill for them. "But the trees died." protested the doctor. "So did my mother-in-law," replied the man. The doctor paid the bill. One Sunday a young man called on his best girl. After they had talked until they could not think of anything else to say, he declared his intention of kissing her. She was very indignant and said she would tell her father if he did. Remembering the old saying that a "faint heart never won a fair lady," the young man dared, and succeeded in planting a fairly respectable kiss some­ where behind her ear. The young wo­ man arose hastily and walked into tbe other room. "Pa," she said, "S wants to see your new gun." "All right," said the old man, delighted with the chance of showing off his new gun. Taking it from the rack, he stepped into the drawing room. The young man broke four windows in getting out and is still running. Nunda Herald: The directors of a little country school In what is known as the Ingleside district, north of Mc* Henry, made a remarkable request of an applicant for the position of teacher. MIBS Louisa Wolck of Crystal Lake, be* ing told by County Superintended! Conn that the place wne vacant, applied for the position. MUa Wolck naye that the directors informed her that the place was open, btit that any teachef who accepted it wobld be expected ttf teach religion an hour ahd a half each day. Of course Miss Wolck refused to giye denominational instruction of any kind, ahd lost the place. The readers of the Herald are aware that ho religi­ ous teachings of any kind are allowed by ldw in the public schools, with tbe exception of reading from the bible without comment, and it Is certainly odd that the directors should have made such a request of Miss Wolck. Miss Wolckj since the experience noted, has taken the position of teacher of the Ball Valley school. Don't forget tha "want ad"oolnmnl nig ^ | ^ ' ' .. . +V ' •' CONFIRMS THIRTY.

" •iTre- One of the most spectacular religious functions ever seen in Lake <^onnty was that of Monday afternoon, when' Arch­ bishop Qnigley of the Chicago Catholic diocese cauie to Fremont Centerto con­ firm a class of thirty persons. The archbishop aud five priests went to Rockefeller, where they were met by a delegation of parishioners of the Fre mont Center church, accompanied bv Fill ton's twelve-piece band. Forty churchmen had ridden to Rock­ efeller on horses which had been eiab orately decorated for the occasion, col­ ored plumes being placed iu their fore* locks and manes, withal presenting a very pretty appearance. . When the bishop and his aides ar­ rived they were at once taken to car­ riages aud the procession started 'for Fremont Center, three and one-half miles from the village.

Some of them said they had never, in all time past, seen a baud on tbe highway in question, which is one of the mout important ones of the section. < . At the chuach a gathering of fully five hundred persons assembled to greet the bishop and his assistants and the whole spectacle was very impressive as the procession halted in front of the church and the bishop and his aides walked down" the long line of decked horses. It was something which tbe vicinity had never before seen, some­ thing which will probably never be re­ peated in a long time thereabouts. The bishop at once went to the church where he performed the ceremonies which gave the thirty young people their first communion. CrdwIIhu Jubilee SlBgeri.
