BABY SWALLOWED

Little Son of Thud Stephens Innocently P«t Deadly Poison to Lips— Lips and Chin Burned. ~ .-.y-, '.loy .1 - ; ‘ Raymond, the eighteen-months-old 2 son of Mr, and Mrs. T. H. Stephens, got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid Saturday afternoon and was severely burned in and about the mouth. The Immediate administration of an effective antidote prevented a great amount of suffering and probably death. , - •

About 4 o’clock the baby was playing in a Httle storeroom at hib parents’ home. He climped upon a trunk* that was near a window and was £kuw able to reach a small bottle of acid that was on the window ledge. Childlike, he placed the bottle to his Ups to pull the cork. It is presumed that, when the eork came out, some of the acid was spilled in his mouth and over his chin. It is not believed that he swallowed much of the acid, if any -at all. Mrs. Stephens, who was In an adjoining room, was attracted to her aon’s side by loud screams. When she got there he. had dropped the bottle, spilling some of the acid on the floor. The 2-oz. vial originally was about two-thirds full; when it was picked up it was .still about ha'f full. Orabelie Duvall, who lives across the street, rushed over with a bottle of alcohol and forced several spoonsfull down bis throat. This allayed much of the pain and was greatly instrumental in his eventual recovery. For some time the outcome of the accident was uncertain, but after a few hours the little lad began to show considerable improvement. He was able to drink a small quantity of milk yesterday morning and again today. Although his mouth and chin are con-' siderably blistered, the little fellow is feeling pretty good and is jumping around today as lively as a cricket His parents and the community at large are thankful and rejoicing that the accident did not end seriously.

EXPLOSION OF OIL STOVE STARTS FIRE.

Mrs. Henry Eiglesbaeb Extinguished Fire Started In Kitchen Single Handed—Slight Damage. The explosion of a kerosene cook stove about 11:30 this Monday morning at the home of Henry Eiglesbach, one mile west of .Rensselaer, started a fire that might have ended disastrously. Mrs. Eiglesbach was preparing dinner and was alone when the explosion occurred. Fire Chief Montgomery was notified of the explosion and he and several -other es -the eity firfemen. wRh twenty-three gallons of the fire extinguishing chemical, rushed to the scene in an automobile, arriving there a few minutes later. When they arrived, however, Mrs. Eiglesbach, single handed, had succeeded in extinguishing the flames by the use of water and by smothering with- clothes. The woodwork was badly charted and the wallpaper scorched and burned. Also a kitchen cabinet and one or two minor articles were soiled. In her lone fight against the fire one pf Mrs. Eiglesbach’s hands was severely burned. 4 half dozen or more autos from toWn rushed to the scene oi the fire. Fire Chief Montgomery stated that he and his men would always be willing to give their assistance at farm houses in cases of fire that were not too distant, if they were notified in time. He that it wonld he easy to carry one hundred gallons of fire chemical to any such fire.

Elmer Wilcox, who plays Ist base with Monon every Sunday, reports a fine game yesterday. Monon played Battle Ground, trimming them .4 to 0. Leecy, Monon’s pitcher, got fourteen strikeouts. Eight of them were made within the first five innings and five’ in the first and second inning. Battle Ground got only two hits. Monon got five hits.

SQUABBLE OVER WATER RATE IS SETTLED.

Council Agrees to $l5O as Minimum Rato —Contract Seat for Approval 22 of Company’s Attorney. •. A special meeting of the city council was held Friday night and after considerable deliberation and discussion Is was decided to accept the offer of the United States Match Company and to the watermain to the corporation line at the city’s expense. This* was-.done on the consideration that the match factory people put'tip 11,200 foi> carrying tjie watermain from the corporation line to the factory addition. The eastern terminus of the watermain is at the J. C. Gwin property and the cost of extending the main from there to the factory would involve the expenditure of about $2,500. The'match factory people previously tried to Secure the premise of the city council to defray the entire expense of this extension but at their last meeting here thag. expressed their willingness to deposit $1,200 in a local bank to assure the fulfillment of their part of the contract should the city council decide to extend the' main to the corporation line.

The council also accepted the proposition of the match factory company, agreeing- to furnish them water at the minimum cost of $l5O per year, they to use the water for a .time not less than five years. ■ - The match factory company agrees to deposit" $5,000 in a Renseslaer bank for the payment of all outstanding indebtedness at once, to pay for,the debts on the building, the installation of machinery and the starting of the factory. These terms were agreed to by John O’Shaughnessy, attorney for the match factory company, on his last visit here. It looks now that "The starting of the factory is /nearer than ever before and by making this last move the city council has bridged practically the only chasm, so far as it is concerned, between it and the match factory people, that would prevent the ultimate completion of the factory. The members of the city council have^much- confidence in Hugo Kohn and believe that he means business. This belief is well founded because of the fact that they are willing to deposit money in a local bank .to assure the payment of all* outstanding indebtedness and the carrying of the watermain from the corporation line to the factory addition. The match factory people Were not represented at the meeting Friday night but City Attorney Leopold was instructed to send the contract to Chicago for the approval of Mr. O’Sbaughnessy. . Now it is up to the company to show something besides talk. Let theSF prove that they mean business by having the factory in operation by September at least.
