The annual Thanksgiving entertainment to provide provisions and funds for buying chickens, etc., for the poor of Rensselaer, was held at the M. E. church last night. It would seem that there should be very few needing assistance this year, unless sickness has entered their family, for surely there has been plenty of work for those who wanted it during the past season, and now. Korah Daniels was called to Sioux Chy, lowa, Friday by the sickness of his son* Fr°d Daniels, who was taken down with t; phoid fever while wurkiut there. I ’He bed Men, at which order Fred is a member of the Rensselaer lodge, were looking after him and he had already been taken to the hospital. At last reports his condition was not considered critical, but it is likely that the disease will have to run its couree.

Boy Dragged to Death By Cow. Coroner Wright was called to Demotte) Friday afternoon to investigate the death of Lloyd Parsons, an eight-year-old lad,» a step-son pf Charles Haskins of Demotte, who had been kiled that day. by being dragged .to death by a cow. It seems the bad been in the habit of taking the cow to pasture about a half mile south of Demotte, and this day the c6w had gotten out and was in the road, a rope being at- j tached to her horns. The boy went. to put h et back . into the pasture I and had tied the rope in a slip-noose about his body. The cow had evidently became frightened and ran, throwing the boy to the ground and dragging him about, the rope finally breaking near the body on which it was drawn so tightly that It alone would have caused death. The body was considerably bruised and a gash cut in the head from being dragged about,-.and it had oaught on some obstruction when the rope brpke. When the

$ body was found life was extinct. The ooroner’s verdict, of course, is accidental death. City Council Proceedings.
