Waldo Miller, livin g two and a half mi lea caat o f C otfage Grove, and who ia totally blind, tells the follow ing atory o f how he played a joke on a near sighted book agent. The agent waa very peraiatent in hia clTorta to dispose o f some o f hia wares to Mr. Miller, displaying the pictures and elaborating on the quality o f printing, etc., while Mr. Miller ap|>enred to be looking at the matter diaplayed before him. The agent, not for a moment aoapicioning that Mr. M iller could not see what he waa taking such paint to show him, naked Mr. M iller the reaaon that he did not move around much. Ilia explanation waa that the had rheumatism. Finally the agent naked Mr. Miller what time it waa, explaining that he waa so nenr-aighted he could not aee from where he waa Bitting. Mr. M il ler, bb is uaual with thoae who have lost one acnae, haa the aenae o f telling time highly developed. Knowing that hia gueat would not know i f he made a alight miatake and knowing where the clock stood, ho turned towards the timepiece and said “ s few minutes paat t w o ." Mra. Miller, who waa in an adjoining room, observed that it happened to be just 10 minutea paat two. The agent went on hia way without having made a aalc and not auapecting that he had been talking to a blind man. Mr. Miller ia an unusually well read man ami takes a keen interest in poli tics and national alTaira. Probably the first girl to handle a car all alone in thia city is Miaa A llie Phil lips.

BROTHER BLOWN UP KILLING OF PET DEER BY DYNAMITE COMES HIGH A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. J. Mark Comer, missionaries in India, on July 4th, according to word received by relatives here thia week. Located as they are in the far, far east, leagues and leagues from their native land, the birth o f the little stranger to them on their country's natal day, was an unusually pleasing event in their lives. The native In dians say they never saw white man and woman so pleased over the arrival of a baby. Mr. Comer writes that they celebrated the great day in fitting style. Mr. Comer was low with fever some time, but ia now recovered. Probably the event just mentioned had some thing to do in effecting a complete and rapid cure. This is the first child that has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Comer. They have one adopted child. Appearing for the moment at if both had been killed instantly, a team be longing to H. Dent ran into the New Era Drug Store building, one smashed in the window, the other hit heavily on the side o f the building, both fe ll to the sidewalk, the wagon climbed onto them and both were extricated with apparently no serious injury. The team started from near the West Side school house with a partial load o f wood and came down Main Street across the bridge. Efforts were made to stop them, but they kept straight down the street. Just as it appeared as if they would step o f their own accord of overexertion some one waved a hat at them and turned them into Seventh Street. The team did not make the turn short enough, however, and struck the corner o f the building. One horse smashed into the display window and one into the side of the building. The pole and reach o f the wagon snapped off and horses and wagon were piled in a heap, the horses being so pinned down that they were unable to move and laid to quietly that they appeared to have been killed in stantly. The debris was soon removed, when the animals got to their feet, appar ently uninjured beyond a few cuts and bruises. FURNITURE BUSINESS IS SOLD Simeral A VanDenburg Sell Out to Knowles A Graber.
