Rubber Boots and Leather Boots. On account of the advance in prices on all rubber goods, rubber boots will cost something this season. In fact they are so high that you can buy a first class leather boot for as little or less than you will pay for a I first class rubber boot. Nevertheless I they area necessity and people will have them. We will handle this season the Boston Rubber Shoe Co’s, goods, the best made. One word in regard to men’s and boy’s leather boots. I have the best practical line of custom boots made 111 the United States. They are manfactured by H. W. Gokey & Son, of Jamestown, N. Y. The lasting, bottoming and siding is done by hand and the prices are so reasonable that even the chronic kicker can find nothing to growl about. Prices range from $2.50 on a stoga kip up to $:i and $4 on finer grades. They are the boots to buy. When you see our women’s and Misses’ heavy shoes yon will have no others, p. R. CHRISTIE.

On Wednesday morning last, east of this city, on the Vandalia Line, Lewis Forsha, a freight train brakeman had his arm terribly crushed while coupling ears. The injured man was brought to this city on the train and Dr G. C. Smythe was called to give him surgical attention. Forsha’s injuries are such that amputation of the arm will become necessary, it is feared. Attempt to Steal. Tuesday night about 9 o’clock a stranger walked into Thompson’s restaurant, on North Jackson street, and asked the little boy who was behind the counter to take care of a parcel for him. The boy complied with the request, and opened the cash drawer to place the parcel in safe keeping. His visitor noticed some money in the drawer and proceeded to help himself to the cash; the boy screamed and called for help. A transformation scene followed; Mrs. Thompson was asleep in the bed arranged for convenience under the connter, and she put in an appearance at a most opportune moment, for the thief evidently thought her appearance supernatural, and decamped hurriedly, with bulging eyeballs, and without securing any plunder. No arrest. A Broken Shoulder. The DePnuw foot ball giants went to Danville, on Monday, to play foot ball with the pupils of the Normal School. They were in good trim and were trained down to fine playing weight, while the Normalites were in raw condition and novices in this refined, artistic, manly and beautiful

game.

As the game progressed the good effects of DePauw’s professional training were manifest—the players had nerves®of iron, sinews of steel, and the cunning of the fox— everything went their way until there was a rush and a score or more of players were piled upon top of each other, with Lee Travis as the undermost man; this was more than his bones ro- ’d bear, e’en though his nerve and rows were all right, and the 1 nit, w.is the fracture of his collar bo .e. A physician was summoned ami ihe fracture was given attentlo . Travis was brought home on the evening train, and Dr. Lammers is giving him surgical attention. It will be some time, however, before ho will be able to indulge in foot ball

and like sports.

Ctiught ’Em For Coin.

matter over.

A charge against Mrs. Rogers, for obstructing the public highway, was tried on Wednesday; the defendant was acquitted. The Attorneys in the case were Smith Matson and John Layne vs. Ren Carpenter. Morris Dilley,of South Greencae'le, was arrested and jailed, on Tuesday, charged with stealing coal from a \ andalia R. R. Car, the coal being the property of James Black. His preliminary trial took place on Wednesday, and he was held over for trial at Putnam Circuit Court. Black had been watching his coal all night, armed with a shotgun. When Dilley began to throw the coal off the car, Black fired, and Dilley tumbled to the ground. Black thought he had killed his man, but on examination found that he had only frightened him so badly he could neither move nor speak. Two Tumors Removed. On Tuesday afternoon, at the residence of MeC. Hartley, Dr. G. C. Smythe, assisted by Drs. Hanna, Hawkins and Darnall, performed the surgical operation necessary for the removal of two fibroid tumors from the neck of Mrs. Parker, of Morgan county. At last accounts she was getting along nicely. Death from Lockjaw. Some two or three weeks ago, Lettie, daughter of John M. and Sarah J. Bowman, dropped a bucket on her toe, crushing it quite severely. The wound was not considered at all dangerous, and it was given the usual attention. It seemed to heal nicely ami nothing unfavorable was noticed untii about ten days after the accident, when the wound became inMamed and other unfavorable symptoms were manifested. Lockjaw finally set in, and notwithstanding the best efforts of the physicians, death resulted on Oct. 2. Deceased was H years of age. The stricken family have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement. Shot By a Dog. A peculiar and very distressing accident happene I on Wednesday about noon, just north of this city, whereby a man l(wt nis good left hand because of the playfulness of a dog which accompanied him on a hunting expedition. The circumstances were as follows: Will Day, a young teamster employed by Dan Kelley to haul coal, arranged to go hunting at the time named, and with him were several boys and a dog owned by a neighbor. Day placed the gun against a fence, muzzle upward and his left hand over it, intending to climb the fence; the dog ran up playfully and struck the hammer of the gun with his paw and the weapon was discharged, sending the load of shot through Day’s hand, tearing out almost the entire palm. The injury is such that what remains of the hand will be useless or almost entirely so. Day was taken to Dr. G. C. Smythe’s office, and the wound was dressed by the Doctor assisted by Dr. Hanna.

Who Bo They?

The Jeffersonville News gives the following in regard to a couple of Greencastle mashers: Two young ladies on Broadway, the Misses Dietz, visited the World’s Fair and returned via the Monon a couple of days ago. While passing Greencastle they playfully, together with several other

young ladies, threw out their visiting cards, which of course gave their ad- j flrgt of the week.
