INSTITUTE PROGBAM THIS WEEK. He asked the question, who knows the true value of human life? An 1 answered it by saying that no one knows its value. The first thing a child does when coming into this world is toerv. He gave probable reasons for this. The proportion of the brain to the body of the child is one to eight.

He proved by i statistics that the average of . | deaths today show that the co ninon i statement "That we are growing r| weaker and wiser." to lx* falsi 1 ., r I The nervous system is the store ■ 1' house of the body, . The child: • cannot reason or do any abstract I > thinking.

Prof. Neet gave suitable illustrations which were common to the child, llustrations which were comomn to everyone and greatly appeciated by all Intromission. The Democrat will each day cover the happening in institute proceedings, while not superuflous in detail, the essential points of each address will be noted and given to our readers, ineanwhlie we will not sacrifice the general news, but will print as many local items as heretofore. a method, which we are confident will bt* fully appreciated. SCAFFOLD BROKE Frank Thomas, a Bricklayer, is Unfortunate. tie Fell Many Feet and Received Ugly Cuis on Mead. Frank Thomas a brick layer figured in an accident this morning that may have cost him his life. A scaffold bn de with him and when he fell his entire body was bruised and two big gashes were cut in his head. One cut was about three inches long and the other about an inch. Both cuts bared the scull and it was necessary for Dr. Beavers who dressed the wounds to take several stitches in sewing them up. Thomas and several -other brick layers were working on the S-henepp school house six miles east of this city, which is being constructend by Julius Haugk. and were standing on the second story scaffold which gave away on the breaking of a padlock. When the I structure broke Thomas and a hod carrier by the name of Wfiliams fell but the latter was not injured to any great extent. Thomas fell to the bottom of the basement through I the joists and mass of broken boards. I Ben Middleton came near going . down with the others as he stood about two feet from the section of the scaffold that gave way. The fellow workmen ran to the assistance iof the two and found one alright ) and the other bleeding profusely. Thomas who was blinded and ) I almost knocked unconscious by the I .1, was hurried to an improvist d j ambulance and brought to this city >1 where he was doctored up. The ’ | injured came here from Marion, . Ind., recently and has a family. { He is about thirty five years old. —— NARROW ESCAPE. z| Eli Linn Mas Exciting Runaway on Second Street. 3 t) Eli Linn gave an example of 1 dare-devil riding on Second street 5 this morning. Eli’s horse liecame frightened on North Second and 0 set a pace down the street that would have made Water Boy shiver. Eli tried to lessen the gait on the « home stretch, but the runner seemed inclined to go another mile. Just to lighten the burden Eli attempted to crawl out of the rig, but was thrown back into the buggy J bed. He held to the horse gamely s however, and when near the Winnes « sh<* | store, by some magical twist of the line he turned the animal com--0 pletely around in the shafts, and s threw him. Employees at the " Beery and Holthouso livery barn g came to the rwcue, and hold the . horse 'till he was unhitched It r was a close call but Mr Linn wasn’t ’ frightened, and drove off as though nothing had happened.
