I After an attempt te set the bone ■properly here the father determined ■to take his son to that city where he ■placed him in a hospital. The jaw ■was set and it will be a week before ■he may be discharged from the hospital. It was ton nd that the fracture •was not located on the point of the IJaw, but extenfied from the molars Iforward to nearly the front of the I' hin. The bone was splintered badly, Imaking the wound really more serious than was at first thought. loung Bowman, before this accident, had never visited a physician for treatment, he always being in the best of health.

Anderson merchants are warned to keep their eyes open for a clever crook who has been "making" many of the cities over the state. He walks in a store and asks for a small article worth about ten cents. The stranger then throws a $lO bill on the counter. While the clerk goes to get his change the crook makes away with anything that is within his reach or sight. If a number of clerks or customers are standing near he gives the correct change.—Anderson Bulletin. This is without doubt the man who visited Decatur last week, but whose success was not the best for him to continue his business here very long. . o—* Professor Martin, the young aeranaut. who made four or five successful arennsions and parachute drops in Decatur, during the carnival held here the first of the month, has contracted to do similar stunts during the fair week. He is considered one of the best and most daring balloonists in the country and he demonstrated his ability while here. He will make an ascension at 4 o'clock each afternoon. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, at the fair ground. Other attractions will no doubt bring big crowds, but a balloon is always a start attraction. On Wednesday and Friday there will be parades of the winning stock and on the same dates there will be motorcycle races that will make your hair raise. Besides these there is the "Newsone's," who do wonderful high > wire performances each afternoon in front of the grandstand. The races this year will be especially good, the Great Northern having again become members of the American Trotting association, assuring square races. The managers are putting forth their best efforts to make this year's fair really the best and everything advertised will be given. If you contemplate attending a fair don't overlook the one at Decatur. It will be the best of all. Don't miss a single day. — A deal has ben closed whereby Ed Luttman contracts to dispose of his big general store at Magley to Mr. Jonas Liby.

The Magley store is one of the biggest general stores in the county, in which about everything one could w*ish is carried. Mr. Luttman has not hilly decided as to his future intentions, but was forced to get out of businers on account of failing health. Mr. Liby is a careful business man and will conduct the store with profit to himself and to the convenience of the people of that thickly populated section of the county. The Luttmans will continue in charge of the store for some time, reducing the stock, after which the new proprietor will be is charge.

('., Aug. 22 —(Special to Daily Democrat) —in a message ■ vetoing the cotton bill sent to congress this afternoon President Taft scored the mesage of the house and senate In ado) ting the measure. He said the bill and amendment were passed without any consideration of facts, and the chemical and steel schedule were not even considered by congress. The , bill, he said, would not go into effect by its terms until January Ist, and before then a report by the tariff board, based on its thoroughness would be submitted, Taft declared. Such little technical errors killed the measure, and many of them were so glaring that it would be impossible to administer the law, he said. In concluding the message he stated the present legislature appeared to be guess-work. "The ; important thing is to get tariff legislation out of the slough of guess-wn-rk and log-rolling"’ Washington. D?

V., as he replaced the lightning rods upon the high tower of the St. Mary's Catholic church, as well as over the entire body of the church, and the clever work which he used for the carrying of himself to the pinacle of Ljie cross, more than one hundred and seventy feet high, and there work away as he would on the earth below. Monday ho ascended the high tower to remove the old rod, replacing it today. Mr. Ward is an expert at the business and never shrinks in ascending the highest point of his dangerous work.

Word from Mrs. Guy Johnson, who with her two children were in the Big Four wreck at Columbus, Ohio, Friday evening, is tnat they are recovering front ineir injuries and from the shock. Mrs. Johnson was badly bruised about the head and body. She alighted on her head and the top of one ear was cut off. Eugene was thrown through a window and a 200pound man alighted on top of him. His little body was badly bruised and he is black and blue all over as a result, but no bones were broken. The babe. Mary Elizabeth, was also bumped up considerably, her cheek being badlyswollen as the result of coming in contact with something, just what, could not be learned. All together, the Johnsons are considering themselves pretty lucky to have escaped as they did, when others all about them were more seriously injured. It was a terrible experience, and one they do not care to go through again. All three are in bed and Mrs. Mary Christen of this city, mother of Mrs. Johnson, will remain with them until they are able to be about. NOTES FROM THE COURT HOUSE.

When in the field he played third base, and coming in from the third inning he awaited his time to the plate. Stepping up to the plate he awaited the delivery by the pitcher, who threw an "out." Bowman, believing the ball was going to strike him, threw his body to the right, and the ball cm vinit, struck him on the right jaw, just at the base of the ear, breaking the jawbone and splintering the molar. When struck he dropped heavily to the ground, and his companions hurried to inis assistance. Seeing that he was seriously hurt they administered the ■reatment at hand and hurried him ,o this city. The place vacated by Bowman was tilled by Martin Ault oi this city and the game went on. When the party arrived at this city they took Bowman to the office of Dr. Roy Archbold, where, assisted by Dr. Boyers, the injury was dressed. It required over an hour to properly set the bone, and when completed Bowman was unable to talk very strong, she jaw was »wollei>-to twice the normal size

DO YOU OWN LAND AS A MATTER OF SENTIMENT OR AS A MATTER OF BUSINESS? If you keep your farm because it has always been in your family, or because you are unwilling to leave the neigsborhood where you were born and raiscG—-that is sentiment. It's all right, too, and if we could afford it we might feel that way ourselves. But if you keep your farm as a business proposition pure and simple—if you’re out after the dollars, and feel that you can't afford to sacrifice profit for sentimental reason's—then you are the man we want to talk to. We have a proposition to put up to just that kind of men-—to men who want their capital of money and labor to return the highest income possible; and who are will ing to exchange- farms that barely pay for the labor expended on them for farms that will do that and pay a good cash income on their cost, besides. , We want to talk to the level-headed business farm ers—-the ones who figure the value of land on the basis of income procured. The}' are the ones who will be intel ested in South Central Minnesota X and Southeasfn North Dakota where well improved farms, that can be bought at S6O to S9O an acre pay a greater income per acre than the $15 ( ) to $250 land of the Central States. In other words, the capital tied up in the land you now own will make you two to three times as much clear money if invested in a Minnesota or North Dakota farm. Just as nice a country lo live in. too—highly improved; good neighbors; good clniate; good markets., roads, schools, churches, etc. Let us send you our Northwestern Catalogues that ted all about these sections. When you have read them you’ll want to see the country; and when you see the country you’ll want to own a farm—and there is where we come in, with 180 of the choicest farms for you to select from.

Christian William Schultz, a well-to-do and highly respected tanner, a filelong resident of Ossian. Wells county, and a brother of Henry Schultz of this city, passed away at his home, two miles east of that town, at 2:45 o'clock . Sunday afternoon, death being caused from asthma and pneumonia.

A telegram sent the relatives ' on Thursday caused great excitement, i owing to a mistake on the part of the operator, who. instead of saying that ! be was very seriously ill. sent word of his death.
