KICKED IN CHEST AND THOUGHT DANGEROUSLY HURT.

William D. Baker, of Mt. Ayr, Seriously and Perhaps Fatally Injured By Horse’s Kick. U i

William D. Baker, 21 years of age, son of Charles J. Baker, of Mt. Ayr, was kicked in the chest by a horse at about 1 o’clock today, Wednesday, and for a time it was thought the injury would result fatally. At 3 o’clock his chances for recovery looked somewhat better.

Dakar works for Victor Burkland, of Mt. Ayr, and came over with his employer to see about, selling a horse. Burkland had led the horse out of the stable to show it when Baker stepped up behind and tapped the horse on the hip. The animal responded with a kick that sent Baker to the floor. He was gathered up and taken to the. Makeever hotel, where two doctors were still working over him at 3 o’clock. Strong stimulants were administered to keep up the circulation and it is believed his life will be saved and that no serious internal injuries were sustained.

About one hundred and twenty-five ladies responded to invitations to be the guests of Mrs. E. C. English this eWdnesday Forenoon. A delightful musical program was given and the affair was one of the most enjoyable social events ever given in Rensselaer, concluding with a luncheon at 11 o’clock.

Beckless Auto Driving Should Be Stopped by Prompt Action.

The fast auto driving both in town and country is a great menace and it is only a question of time until serious and probably fatal accidents will occur. A demonstrator who was here Sunday went down Washington street at a rate that all who saw him say was not less than 60 miles an hour. Tuesday evening three young fellows were trying the speed of a machine and it was driven south on Weston street at a speed that was tremendous, probably 60 miles an hour. A great big fine would put a stop to this shameful disregard of the law. It is not altogether strangers that indulge in this defiance of authority and several local car owners are guilty of the practice of speeding over our smooth streets. As a warning signs should be placed at the corporation line to the north and south on the main traveled roads. They should show in large letters what the speed through the corporation should be and officers should see that it is not exceeded without punishment to the violator.

C. H. Sternberg Bought the Howe Ditch 5 Per Cent Bonds.

The Howe ditch 5 per cent bonds, amounting to $2,885.14, which were twice advertised and found no sale the first time, were sold Tuesday to C. H. Sternberg. The money derived from their sale was to go to Mr. Sternberg for building the ditch and as the banks did not want the bonds, Mr. Sternberg had to take them himself. It is probable that he will dispose of them shortly.

Some New Books at The Public Library.

Dramatic Works of Richard Brinsley Butler Sheridan.

The Mother of the Man, by Eden Phlllpotts. Mr. Phillpotts makes Dartmoor again the scene of a story which is up to his best. The plot Is simple, the delineation of character masterly and delicate, the descriptions of the enchanting, moors exquisite. The village and the farm furnish the sturdy, strong-natured men and women of the book, chief among whom are the wise, understanding, tender mother and the wayward, devoted son.

Antonio, by Ernest J. Oldmeadow. A young Portugese monk, seeking to amass money to repurchase from the government, the abbey from which his beloved community has been expelled, becomes, under another name, a successful vine-grower and man of affairs. His many worldly trials of flesh and spirit find their culmination in an almost overmastering love for a beautiful English girl, but eventually the monk overcomes the man. Eleanor, by Mrs. Humphrey Ward. The political and social life of modern Italy is studied exhaustively, but the main affair is a drama of passion. True Tilda, by Arthur T. Quillen Couch. A fantastic tale of a truehearted, resourceful little circus girl who, in her attempt to find the relatives of a high-born boy she hast rescued from the cruelties of an orphan asylum, makes the acquaintance of a variety of queer people and has many curious adventures. A story with much originality, an abundance of strong human interest, and full of the charm of tbe unexpected and unusual.

The Man from Glengarry, by Ralph Connor. A story of frontier life in the forests of northwestern Canada. “Quo Vadis,’’ by Henryk Sienkiewicz. A story largely inspired by neo-Christianlsm. A broad picture of Roman life in all its light and shade, splendors and horrors, bringing into contrast the licentiousness of paganism and the spiritual beauty of Christianity.

The graduation examinations are now in full swing. They began Wednesday, and will continue one week. The commercial class numbers 13, the normal 5 and 7 collegiates are trying for their A. B. degree.

The invitations for the 15th annual commencement have been sent out. The exerqises will open Monday evening, June 13th with the Junior class Oratory Contest for the Conroy medal. At 7 A. M. on Tuesday, the 14th, will be the Rt. Rev. Bishop’s mass. Following this the class exercises will be held in the auditorium. The baccalaureate address will be delivered by Rev. John R.

On Decoration Day the Varsity was automobiled to Brook and shoved into an unexpected defeat that was given with whitewash trimmings, while the locals gathered two runs. The Varsity batsmen were unable to touch up the swift shoots of Whiting, Brook’s star center attraction. Although McGurren held his opponents to two hits, they managed to turn them, in a sprinkling of errors, into base circuits. Both pitchers were in fine form in spite of the cold wave that had strayed from f some February hiding place. Whiting struck out 18 collegians to the 10 that McGurren pinched at the gangplank. Hayes, his lone scratch hit, robbed Whiting of the honor of a no-hit performance. The close game created great enthusiasm in the large crowd. The varsity reached third several times, once with three men on bases and no one out, yet they failed to annex the needed counts. In pinches Whiting was absolutely invincible. A little faster fielding on the part of the collegians would have run the game into extra sessions that only the darkness might have ended, as in the gruelling battle of a year ago. The kindest treatment was accorded to the varsity and the college rooters that accompanied the team, during their stay in the down river town.

Thayer Oil Well Shot Last Saturday Still Uncertain Quantity.

Kankakee Valley Review. The first well drilled by the Kankakee Valley Oil and Gas Co. on the Adam’s ranch two hundred yards north of town, was shot by an expert from the Dupont Powder Co., and the usual number of sightseers were on hand, and it is said drillers and promotors from different oil territories were* on hand. The sight after the shot was fired was well worth seeing. The success of the well will not be known for some time yet, and the company is preparing to keep the pumping going until a good test is made.

It will not be known for some time the exact strength of the well, so far as a producer is concerned, owing to the fact that the casing will have to be replaced and the pumping machinery started and worked for several days. The indications looked very promising and it is hoped that this first well drilled by this new company will justify the drilling of many more and result in making the Kankakee valley one of the greatest oil producing sections in the country.
