J A sad and what may prove a fatal ac- '•' cident, bappened at the German CathO- f lie School llouse, in this village, on Mon­ day forenoon last. Workmen are put­ ting down a well, and during' their t^gi- porary absence the derrick blew down and two of the school children were® caught under the heavy timbers, Willie, son of Jolin Heinier, received a bad scalp wound, and a bruise on his foot . and ankle, but was not dangerously hurt, and is getting along finely. But the other one, Mattie, son of, Peter Leickem, aged about thirteen years, was not so fortunate. The heavy timbers struck .him on the head, making a deep ,-gaeif from the forehead back to the crown-,- and bruised the back of the head so badly that it is feared the base of the brain is injured. Besides this his foot is crushed in a horrible manner and it is feared amputation may be necessary should he survive. He has remained in a semi-unconscious state since the acci­ dent and little hopes are entertained of ^his recovery. »' •' ^ It was a sad accident but no one can be blamed for it. The workmen had re­ peatedly cautioned the children to keep away from the derrick, but boy-like they must investigate, little dreaming Of the danger. It ia almost a miracle that many more were not within range jpf the falling timbers and that instant death was not the result. ? •» , The afflicted parents have the heartfelt sympathy of all, with the hope for the speedy and permanent recovery ot both. !-- THE SCHOOL ELECTION. V The election in this School District, on Saturday last, for one President and two 'members of the Board of Education, was one of the most exciting held here this ! year, and drew out the largest vote ever polled in the District. Jas. B. Perry was the only candidate for President and waf elected by a unanimous vote, but for members of the Board there were two tickets in the field. There were 293 Votes polled, of which Simon Stoffel re­ ceived 253 and E. S. Wheeler 247, giving them a clear majority of nearly two ijundred. The women were out in full fprce which accounts for the extremely feiTge vote polled. /Notwithstanding the large--rrrte-eVOTything passed off in a quiet and orderly manner, and we think the result is entirely satisfactory to all.

Remember the date, Tuesday, May 7th. / AN exchange speaks wisely in giving the following advice: "Drink nothing without seeing it, sign nothing without reading it, and make sure that it means nothing more than it says. Don't go to law unless you have nothing to lose; lawyers' houses are built on fools' heads. In any business never wade in water where you cannot see the bottom. Put 110 dependence on the label of a bag, and coun t money before you accept it. See the sack open before you.buy what is in it, for he who trades in the dark asks to be cheated."

He had been sick nearly a year "but was able to be around until within a week or two before his death. He was an old and highly respected citizen of that place and his death will be deeply deplored by a large circle of friends^ His funeral took place from the M. E. Church Volo, on Tuesday afternoon, and was conducted by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was an honored member, , 'THE Ivelter Block, at the east end of village, is being overhauled and repaired in a"substantial manner, which w ill not ionly improve the property but the vil- Wgeiin that vicinity as well. This block is an old landmark, in a fine location for business and when repaired and put in shape will not long remain empty. We understand it will be arranged for one or two stores below, as may be desired, and two fiats above for families. P. S. Since writing the above the Ivelter Block has been sold to John Heimer, who will proceed with the repairs and put it in shape for occupancy at once. Consideration, $1,100. THE following is said to have won a $1 ,000 prize for the best appeal to sub­ scribers : , • Lives of poor men oft remind us Honest men won't stand no chance; The more we work there grows behind us Bigger patches On our pants. On our pants, once new and nlossy, Now are stripes of different hue, All because subscribers linger, And don't pay up what, is due. Then let all be up and doing.

SAYS an old Pennsylvania farmer: "I almost know when there is to be a wind­ storm by watching the turkeys and chickens go to roost each night. In calm weather the fowls always roost or their poles with their heads alternating each way; that is, one faces east, the next west, and so oh. But when there is go­ ing to be a wind they always roost with their heads toward the direction from which it is coming. There are reasons for these -different ways of roosting, I take it. When there is no wind to guard against they can see other danger more readily if they are headed in both di­ rections, but when wind is to arise they face it because they can hold their posi­ tions better. But the part I can't un­ derstand," he concluded, "is how the critters know the wind is going to rise when we mortals lack all intimation^ jofit." « ' T ! A KANKAKEE man joined one of the national building and loan associations on inducements of large dividends by a smooth-tongued agent, who was proba­ bly getting a fat commission on every share he sold. After paving in for two years and eleven months he flesired the use of the money and sent in his notice of withdrawal. He had paid in $395. He received notice that his stock was worth $383--$12 less than he paid in--and it would be 120 days before he could get his money, and there was no certainty even then. The same day a Kankakee citizen who had been in his local associa- ciation about the same length of time and paid in something like $225, pre­ sented his stock for withdrawal and with­ in an hour he had his money; with $21 interest. Moral: Efen't go away from home for investments. If you have no association at home let outsiders alone by all means. Snag proof rubber boots are taking better than ever. People are learning of their double wearing qualities and will have no others. They cost but a trifle more than the common ones. Found only at Perry & Owen's. Loans Negotiate^. Do you want money ?
