The mercury seems to like this banging around the eighteen below mark, but it’s hard on the plumber and the coal man, who haven’t time scarcely to eat a meal. Wells county sure used bad judgment in selecting such a day as this tor her primary—looks more like a case of treeze-o'.it. At that it is said to be mighty hot over there today. There is talk of a row of flats in the north part of the city and the enterprise may materialize if a certain plot c.f ground can be purchased. It would no doubt be a good investment, and would go quite a ways toward solving the house question in Decatur.

An acquaintance, state-wide, will assist him greatly and he will make the boys step some for the job. If nominated he will assist his party to a victory and if elected will take care of the office satisfactorily. Hop to it, Eddie! Troubles, like children, must be nursed to thrive.

Mr. Moyer then noticed ’hat the rig was without a driver, and that the horse was dinning away. —- o — 1 - Democrat Want Ads Pay

'trip worst ever] Alphie Neart Experiences a Long and Exciting Trip i Across Atlantic. WITH LOAD OF HORSES Prussic Acid Vessels Burst and Deadly Acids Kill His Horses. Alphie Neart, a young Belgian,- a i former employee of the Holthouse liv-i I ery company of this city, has just land-J i ed in New York with a load of horses, j from Belgium, a"-! has experienced a ; much more stormy and severe trip ! (han even Mr. Frisinger had, when he | returned several weeks ago. Mr I Noart formerly worked for Mr Frisinger, also, anu accompanied Frisingier & Sprunger’s first load of horses, j here this fall from Belgium, landing November 20tli. Mr. Neart is now in the employ of other horse importers and is engaged in bringing horses to this country. The letter of this last | perilous and stormy trip was just received by Mr. Neart’s brother, Rena Neart, of the Holthouse livery com1 pany. The steamship, “Michigan," a large : freighter, well loaded with a cargo o’ i various kinds aboard, to the United, I I States, as well as the large number oi j Belgium horses, which he. along with other parties, were in care of, was on ! its sojourn here. Th~y left Belgium! on December 21st, and had gone but' a short distance upon their trip when , a terrific storm of unusual experience to seamen, overtook them, and for some days were at the mercy of the endless waves, and they traveled so slowly that nineteen days were necessary to accomplish their perilous trip and reach the New York shore, arriving on Monday, January 9th, this year. For fourteen hours the captain was unable to steer his ship, and during this period they glided along at freedom, and out of their regular starting I course. The most dangerous incident of their voyage, and which during the ! cold season, or present time of travel, were the fumes from eighty barrels of Prussic acid, and 2,000 gallons of other acids, which were a part of the . cargo, which became so cold that they froze, and bursting, cast their deadly vapors through the lower decks of the vessel, as well as allowing much fluid to run through the floor and into the part where the many horses were kept. This became so strong that two horses died one day and at the time of writing to his brother it was believed that twelve others would die. However, these deadly gases were sue- ! cessfully kept from the people who were also m-.k-ng thoir passage on this vessel, thus preventing any sick - ness or disturbanc among the passengers. Mr. Neart stated that of all the trips which he made across the waters (which number between forty and fifty), none were as rough as the last one. He had in his charge horses for Portland. Oregon, various cities in lowa as well as in Indiana, and it required all of his time and attention to guard those in his care. He immediately, upon arriving in New York, made arrangements for his return trip and this morning set out on the return with a load of cattle bound lor Belgium. Although there are many ex ’ c'ting experiences in this way of el, very few equal this one and that all reached land in safety is pleasing to learn, rr.r only to those who figured iin it. but awaiting them as well. Mr. Neart is well acquainted in this city, having worked at the Fashion stables lor two years, but in the past five years has been engaged in going and I coming across the watery field THE SOCIETY NOTES.
