RECEIVES TERRIBLE INJURY George McDowell Is Paralyzed By Falling From High Platform of Hop Drier. PLAN FOR ENTERTAINMENT George McDowell fell from the plat form of the Link hopdrler nearPedee, Tuesday evening, receiving injuries which are exceedingly severe and, It is feared, may prove fatal. Mr. McDowell was' busy laying a new kiln of hops. It was late in the evening and the Inside of the building was so dark that he was obliged to work by the light of a lantern which his wife was holding for him. He had stepped out onto tbe platform out side tbe kiln room to bring in another sack of hops, and it is supposed that he stepped off of the platform in the darkness, although no one saw him fall. His wife waited several minutes in side the building and then .becoming uneasy about bis continued absence went out with the lantern to find out what was delaying him. When she found him he was lying unconscious on tbe ground IS feet below. Help was summoned at once, the sufferer was borne to a place of shel ter and a message was sent to Dallas for a physician. Drs. Bollman and Starbuck left at once and upon arriv ing a hasty examination showed that his back and shoulders had been ter ribly bruised by the force of the fall and his backbone had apparently been broken, although tbe bruised condi tion of tbe flesh made it difficult to ascertain with certainty tbe full extent of the injury. The invalid is completely paralyzed from the waist down, having neither sensation nor the power of motion in his lower limbs. He is receiving the best possible attention, however, and every effort is being used to bring about an ultimate recovery If possible. Sewer Work Progresses Rapidly. The sewer work on Washington and Oak street where the city Is to lay macadam pavement will be completed this week, after which Venske & Tay lor, the contractors on the sewer job, will take their crew down to tbe outlet of the proposed new Bystem and rush the work of construction system atically up from that point, through the various streets of the city to be embraced by the new series of mains.

Oregon New England Dinner and Concert Will Be Given For Benefit of Library. For several months past, the Dallas Free Library has received no aid from the city and has been obliged to bor row money to pay Its bare running expenses. Last month the most ollne subscriptions for periodicals expired and it has been impossible for some time to purchase any new books. Things have at last come to a crisis where one of two things must be done : Either the balance of the one-half mill tax money appropriated for library purposes last December, must be paid by the city council and the library work in this way continued, or the institution will very shortly be compelled to close its doors. During tbe first year and a half the library work was carried on entirely by a number of unselfish women who gave their time to it, but now the work has grown to such proportions that this method is no longer practicable or possible. In order to wipe out tbe steadily accumulating debt and to celebrate the third anniversary of tbe founding of the Dallas Free Library, in a fitting manner, the management Is planning a big entertainment for the evening of October a. From 6 :30 to 8 o'clock p. m., a splendid New England dinner will be served In the armory, followed at 8 :30 o'clock by a concert in the main hall of the Woodman buildiug. Profiting by tbe many unfortunate features of the dinner served a year ago, the management has eogaged the entire lower floor of the Woodman Hall, fully capable of seating 200 persons at once. In this way, the annoyance of crowding and waiting will be obviated. The supply of food will be more than doubled, for fully as large.a crowd Is expected to attend as last year. Tbe menu and the personnel of the com m it tees having the affair in charge will be made public next week. The concert will be made up of both local and Portland talent. Tbe two beautiful pianos that will be used In this portion of the entertainment have been secured through tbe courtesy of the Wiley B. Allen Company, of Port land. Mr. Gormley, their local repre sentative, will have charge of the preparation of the musical program, and the patrons of the entertainment may be assured of a most enjoyable performance. The program In full will be prepared and made public within a few days. Child Severely Injured. The 6-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. TJraphlett, residing near Perrydale, was quite seriously Injured-Wednesday afternoon by fall ing from a tree whilo playing with several otber children. In attempting step from one limb of the tree to another she missed her footing and fell a distance of about 13 feet land ing Baton her back. She was knocked senseless and badly bruised about the back and shoulders, but it is hoped that with careful medioal attention she will soon be fully recovered. NEWS AGENT IS FINED Sale of Indecent Literature on Train Cost G. G. Morris Round Sum of $150. - The hearing of G. G. MorriC a news agent on the West Side line between Portland and Corvallis, who was accused of selling literature that openly outrages publlo decency, was held before Justlosof the Peace Hardy Holrnan yesterday morning. At the request of tbe prosecuting attorney the complaint was moderated from selling obscene literature, a peniten tiary offense, to come under Section 1930 of the Oregon Code, selling liter ature that outrages public decency, a crime punishable by fine or imprison ment. Morris pleaded guilty and a fine of $150 was Imposed. The arrest of Morris was effected In Portland, Tuesday, by Mrs. Lola Bald win, a detective of the women' police auxiliary, who witnessed the sale of tbe literature while enroute between Independence and Portland.
