SOME ACCIDENTS THE PAST FEW DAYS

Bert Spencer Fell From Parr Piekle Vats and Jasper Cover Had ' . Fingers Badly Mashed.

Several accidents have occurred since the 4th of July, evidently trying to make up the average which had been cut down t>y the “sane” fourth celebrations. Wednesday Bert Spencer fell from one of the pickle vats at Parr and landed. on his back, receiving a Mow over his kidneys which rendered him unconscious. Dr. Gwiii was called and found "that he had fractured \one rib. He is about 30 years of age. Thursday Jasper Cover, who lives on the Chamberlin-Marlatt farm in Barkley township, had the middle and ring fingers of his right hand severely mashed in*the pulley of a hay stacker. Dr. Gwin found it necessary to take the ring finger off at the first joint. Mr. Cover is a married man about 35 years of age.

Fire Destroyed Wheat on Two Farms Near Reynolds.

The following article froiii the Monticello Journal will be interesting here because the wife of W. P. Cooper, who lost 8 acres of wheat by fire, was formerly Miss Ethel Sharp, of this city. The item reads: “Fire on Monday afternoon burned over and destroyed eight acres of wheat on W. P. Cooper’s large farm 4% miles southwest of Reynolds, also destroyed between 10 and 12 aere/of meadow on the Guy Fisher farifa adjoining, Mr. Cooper estimates that the wheat would have made 30 bushels to the acre and his loss is around S2OO. The fire is supposed to have started from either a cigar or a cigarette stub dropped by a passerby.”

MONTICELL PEOPLE HELP CHICAGO KIDS

Many Volunteer to Take From One to Four Tenement Children for a Two Weeks’ Outing.

Monticello people are engaging in some practical Christianity and fifty-two Chicago tenement children are to enjoy the fresh air and all the pleasures of country life for a period of two weeks, W. A. Bryan, of Monticello, went to Chicago Thursday and today on train No. 37 took 26 of the kidlets to Monticello, where they will be distributed among a numbet of families who volunteered to look after them for twoweeks. • - Tomorrow 26 more of the little ones will be taken to Monticello by one of the settlement workers. The United Charities Board, of Chicago, selects the children who are to be sent out. Tired’mothers are made happy by having their weakly children taken into charitable homes, where the fresh air of the country will restore them to health and where they may have the pleasure of country life. Many of the little ones have never been outside the crowded city before and the lessoifs they will receive will prove of great value to them.

If some one in Repsselaer cared to take up the work they would doubtless flndjnany homes where little children'would be cared for for a fortnight. A line to the United Charities Board, of Chicago, will Satire the information desired to start the movement.

BEST GAME OF SEASON BUT ANOTHER DEFEAT

Cluster of Errors by Locals Gave Thursday Game to Chicago Movies by Score of 4 to 3.

The fastest and best ball game of the season was played Thursday, when the Athletics went down to defeat at the hands of the fast Moving Picture ball team of Chicago, 4 to 3. Failure of the Athletic base runners to take advantage of. promising opportunities lost them at least two runs, while the erratic fielding of Quille in the third frame gave the Movies three unearned runs and the game. Not an earned run was made by the Chicago lads, while all three Athletic markers were the result of good clubbing. Too many Athletic rallies have been ruined this year by the bum work on the paths. It was sure one swell game, though, and not a fan preserit was heard to make a complaint over the game. Lucas opened the game with a roller to Fitzgerald, who tossed him out at first, and McCarthy went out Clark to Dad. Schwind singled and Stewart followed with another, putting Schwind on third, where he scored when Wilcox had a passed ball. Aron struck out. Quille opened for the locals with a twobase wallop over Lucas in left. Morgan was there in a pinch and his single scored Quille, knotting the count, but Morgan was picked off when he went past second. Rhode struck out but Dad followed with a single which should have scoired Morgan but went for naught When Eldridge lifted to Wright in right. Quin i struck cit to start

the Movies’ second. Wright went out Fitzy to Dad, and Bu ns fouled out to Wilcox. Wilcox led off the home half with a hit. Fitzgerald fouled out. Elder singled and Clark followed with another, choking the -paths. Quill e was safe on a fielders choice but Wilcox went down at the pan. Morgan’s hit chased Elder over the rubber and Clark also crossed, hut Quille in attempting to go from first to third on ithe hit was pegged out at third before Clark crossed the platter, losing another s run for the local®. Toney- led off the fata! third for the Movies with an ea?v fly to Morgan, but Quille kicked the next two and Clark walked one, filling the paths with dbg down. Stewart rolled one to Quille, which he juggled for a moment, letting Lucas score and then he heaved wildly to Swartzell and two more white legs crossed the platter with the winning markers. Aron was out Dad to Fitzy, Quinn lifted to Quille. Rhode was out at first unassisted. Swartzell was hit by a pitched balk Eldridge lifted to right and Wilcox to left. Wright was out when Morgan pulled down his easy fly. Fitzgerald took care of Burn® by the air route and Quille tossed out Toney. Fitzy and Joe were both out on infield taps and Clark breezed. Lucas led off the fifth with a hit. McCarthy struck out, while Lucas stole second. Schwind tapped to Quille and Lucas was run doiyn between third and home. Schwind was picked off stealing. Stewart threw out Quille and Morgan. Rhode walked and was flagged stealing. Stewart began the sixth by clubbing to center. Aron sacrificed him to second and Stewart was run down between third and home by Wilcox and Rhode. Wiright was out Rhode-to Dad. Dad was out short to first Eldridge skied to Schwind and Schwind also threw out Wileox. Quille care off Lucas and Burns lofted to Fitzgeribld and Clark tossed out Toney. Fitzgerald walked in our seventh but got away slowly on Elder’s infield tap and was forced at second. Uhirk followed with a hit, scoring Joe. Quille fouled o.ut. McCarthy hit safely and so did Schwind. Wilcox threw out McCarthy at third. Aron fouled out and Fitzgerald

gathered in Quinn’s roller. Morgan rolled to short. Rhode struek out. Swartzell was safe on Stewart’s error and Jimmie fanned. Wright got a safety but was thrown out Stealing. Burns struck out. Toney was safe on an error but Lucas breeezd. The Athletics made their last stand. Wilcox rolled to short. Fitzy struck out after lifting a vicious wallo-p over the left garden, which was foul a few feet. Elder walked and Clark came up and walloped the fl rat ball pitched for a single, but Joe was picked at, third ending the game when the head of the batting order was coming up. Joe took the chance, however, and a bum heave from right field to third would have let him him in with the tying run.* Lineup and summary : MOVIES. ,L B H PO A E Lucas K 1 110 0 (McCarthy cf ..1 2 0 1 0 Schwind se2 2 2 5 0 Stewart 3b ...;....O 13 3 1

An operator was pn hand with a moving picture camera and took a number of views of the players, the band, the grand stand, the autos, several plays and of the crowd as it left the ball park. The day wa® ideal for pictures and it is expected that tile pictures will be excellent. They will probably be done in time to be shown at The Princess Friday night, July 17th. The experiment of a midweek game did not prove a success and the team lost considerably on the game. The receipts were only *44.90, the smallest with the exception of the second Parr game, of the season. For some reason they did not come out. The improved playing of the local team, however, is sure to draw larger crowds in the future. One other midweek game has been arranged, that with the Chippewa Indian team on Thursday, July 23rd. It should draw’ many from the nearby towns. / Wheatfield next Sunday looks like a good card.

BIG INCREASE IN CORN AND WHEAT

Small Crops a Failure Due to “Spotted” Rainfall in State While Principal Ones Thrive. Indianapolis, July 9.—An interer fflng j esult of the unever distribution of rainfall in Indiana is shown by the monthly report of the bureau of crop estimates, just issued by the local office of the U. & -weather bureau. Of the principal crops in Indiana, only corn and wheat now show a notable increase in field. The report is (based on an estimate of the coming crop, made July 1, by the department, a® compared with the normal yield for the previous five years** period. This comparison shows the Indiana wheat crop to be 2,100,000 bushi el® above the average, the corn crop to be 6,333,000 bushels above i the average. Oats fell 13,866,000 bushels below the average and barley 31,000 below. Tlie potato yield also is 2,082,000 bushels below the average. Apparently Ore moisture that fell in this state was of noticeable benefit only to the two principal crops, wheat and com. Much of the rainfall was “spotted” so that farm products requiring a shorter maturing season than wheat and corn suffered from drouth. Hay, timothy, clover, pasture, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, apples, pears, blackberries, raspberries and watermelons all fall below the average. The yield of cantaloupes and A peaches will be slightly above the average. The failure at the small crops and the success of the large crops is attributed directly to the irregular rainfall
