A Sad and Serious Accident Thos. Lewis' oldest boy, Allen, while breaking a pair of youug colts hitched to a wagon met with a very serious accident last Monday. The team got uu-managable aud ran away, turning the wagon over on him, breaking his leg at the ankle aud crushing the ankle joint so badly as to cause the fragments of bone to cut through the flesh and skin making two horrible and serious wounds iu the flesh as well as broken bones. Dr. S.

Dykes was called and realizing the serious condition called Dr. J. B. Dykes of Lebanon, and Dr. 0.

G. Ward of this place, to his assistance and at present writing his condition is as favorable as could be expected. But he will be fortunate if he saves his leg. Township Caucus. The Republicans of Esbon township will meet at the city hall in Esboa, Kansas, on September 3.

There was a very light vote cast, there being only 87 votes. There ws only one ticket in the field and as they were all good men there was no occasion for a scrap. The following men were elected to act as city officials until the next election, which will be in April: Mayor R. W. Helmer.

Police judge A. Congdon. Oouncilmen A. O. Cutler.

Jerome Hills, Frank Shook, Joe Spaulding and John Campbell. Esbon is incorporated, a bitter fight lias ended, au election has been held and good men elected, t-o now let's all join ha ids and put our shoulder to the wheel and help these men push our little city to the front. If th citizens will stay by the city officials and back them iu anything they see fit to do for the city's good it will be a great help to them. Since writing the above we learn that the report was started by some parties, whose names we will uot another ticket, namely a "wet" ticket, was being run in on the sly and that some unfounded stories were started on one of the parties they thought to be working for the "dark" ticket. The vote shows that it was all a mistake, that there was not a vote cast for any one except Helmer for mayor.

It might have been started for a joke, but the stories that were cirulated around town about one of our respected citizens does him a great injustice, and that's no joke. School. School begins September 12. Parents who expect their children to attend school should see that they start as near the beginning of the term as is possible. Be there the first day and stay until the close of school.

'Tis true, 'tis hard for some to be able to start the first of the term but remember, "there is no excellence without great labor." Great is the advantage of the pupil enrolling the first day, with the class, and attending regularly until he has completed his course. Pupils who expect to enroll in the high school will be admitted to the first year course who hold common school diplomas, or who have bee a promoted from the eighth grade of any organized graded school. Graded school grades lar alarm this week. If anyone touches the vault door after it is locked the alarm is iziven at central and also all the other phones iu.towu will ring. In addition to this the burglar alarm itself goes off, making a noise like the bombardment of Port Arthur.

A fire or a burglar iu town is now being looked forward to with great expectations. Jewell county now has upwards of 40,000 acres sown to alfalfa. And as a rule the people who have been raising alfalfa are satisfied that it is profitable for hog pasture, but have uot learned to save the hayNiud get it ready for the market in a merchantable condition. The thousands of 6tacks of black, rotting hay, argue a waste of a valuable product. We ought to ship several thousand cars of hay from this county.

We let it rot in unsightly piles disfiguring the premises. Alfalfa will not shed water in an out door stack It must be roofed. Water will go deep into a stack of alfalfa, and dampness will turn it black and spoil it for the market. Good alfalfa hay is cousidered as valuable for feed as the best clover and timothy. It brings about, thve same price on the market.

Some kind of a baling shed for alfalfa hay on every farm where there is a considerable acreage of alfalfa would be a profitable investment. Such a shed can be built of poles and can be roofed with boards. It need not be ex pensive. To say that 25 per cent of all alfalfa raised in the county is wasted is a low estimate. To estimate the waste at one half ton per acre would be a still lower estimate.

But that would be tons, worth $50,000 on the home market. The waste of one year would build sheds enough to protect and keep in. a marketable condition, the entire cropi for many years to come All those knowing themselves indebted to me for medical services will please settle by payment or by note, as I want to take a post-graduate course of lectures, soon.
