He barely missed It and by turning a little missed the door of the store and dashed head Drat against the heavy plate glass window on the north de of the entrance. Then he stoppeddesd still.

His carcais bounced back on the sidewalk like a rubber ball and lay there for a moment seemingly lifeless. When the colt hit tie glass there was a frlgh fill crash and the big and little pieces of glass flew all over the street. It cane so suddenly that hardly any one knew what had happened. The clerks In the store were badly fright- and the people In the offices upstairs were nearly at badly seared. Nothing In the window was damaged ID the least.

After a few seconds the horse got up and walked away. Then inquiries were made as to where the horse caae from. That brought to light the serious part of the accident. Joseph Hobson and wife of 517 South Jackson street went to the depot In a sprint wagon to take their daughter's trunk. On the way back from the depot one of the shafts came loose from the buggy.

Near the furniture factory the eolt began to kick and ran. Mr. Hob SOD fell out and In a few seconds Mrs, Hobson was thrown ont. She fell hard was picked up nearly unconscious She was carried Into a house and Dr. H.

She was afterward! taken to her home and Drs.

H. H. Wood and W. A. Dlxon were called In consultation.

Chloroform was administeredand a thorough examination was made. It was found that no banes were broken, but she was badly bruised. The concluded from the nature of her suJUrlogs that the worst Injuries were Interns I. They may be so bid as to prove fatal. It will be a few days before the result will be known.

Mrs. Hobson Is years old. Taa colt was not hurt, beyond some bad cuti about the head. He caused all Scott had lived In binds or excitement on Water street and drew a big C'owd. After the Aeotdcnt.

While the accident was deplorable there were some ludicrous things about the wind up. After the accident W. L. Ferguson of the street car line rushed up to a man and asked him If he had seen It. Tha man slid he was an eye witness.

"Did the horse get scired At a street car?" anxiously 1: ij'ilred Mr. Boys and mea were seen all over town after the accident carrying away pieces of the window. The glass was about three-eighths of an Inch thick and was Insured so that the firm will cot hive to Htand the loss ot the SCO that the glass cost. Bradley Bros have decided that since they will have to replace the broken glass on one side of the front they will take out the on both sides of the door and replace tne two pieces In each ihow window with so'ld French plate glass.

Joe Dally, the sage of Spring Lake, was in the rity yesterday, says the Peorla Herald, looking np a dredge with which to scoop out the Interior of Spring a i catch the cat fith that come sailing up the Illinois. The great channel cat fi om the Mlsils slppl and keeps In the very center of the channel on the bottom. Joe has an idea that If he can only get the government dredge to scoop out the channel they will follow along and run Into Spring Lake, and thus afford fishing all the year around. There Is much method In Joe's strategy, and we will watch him with a kindly eye. The next time Judge Worthlngton and Joe Well go to Spring Lake we shall examine their strings when they come home In order to see that they are not eat and not mud cat at than.

Ot course there is more building done at certain seasons of the year ihvn at others, but there Is a constant Improvement. Architects and builders agree that there will be an unusual amount of building done here In the spring. At any rate there Is a great deal of building going on now, and real estate Is also going up.

It seems that Peter has not been on very good terms wlih his family for some time. He Is known to everybody else as a quiet peaceful citizen and is janitor of a church and several offices.

iPiMay night the police were called to his house and Peter was placed behind the ban. He wat released yesterday morning, but It seems there was no reconcllla.lon when he went home. The wife came np town and swore out a warrant against her liege lord. Then Peter bad to go behind the ban again. He will have a hearing before Justice Provost tomorrow.

no Immediate result except that It led to vast sale of the War Orys. This i i portant. It shows that the Peorla public, naturally apathetic, did not stir much and was not profoundly Impressed, but at the same time they felt tne neces- Mty of doing something religlous.so they bought War Crys and sattatled tbelr religious emotions In that way. Th's Is a good deal like the fel.ow MaeauUv tells of, wno, when about a ir housebteik nz, said on tbe scaffold that one thing tnat supported blm In his hour of trial was tbe thought that he always taken off his bat whenever he had passed a church. Be thought hat this would go far making amends for an evil life.

So tbe Peorla public, feeling a languid need of doing something out of common, invested five cents In War Crys and was satisfied. No wonder that Brother Cbapmaa said that while the people Ittt-ned here with profound attention they did not follow htm, and they did not appear to care what became of their souls. The? are willing to be entertained, but aside from that they cared for none of these tblnps We shall ponder upon these facts and we ardently wish the Sunday Lyceum would take them up and give a reason for tbe why and wherefore. There is meat for thought. Dry Goods Department DRESS GOODS-- Double fold Plaids for children oc yd Half wool Covert 13 yi Half wool, double fold, dark pin checks.

Improvement Invented by ThomM Down- tnj( of Lincoln. Among the patents recorded last week was one granted to Thomai Downing of Lincoln for a typewriting machine, or rather an attachment to Improve the typewriter.

He has worked npon this Improvement for years and finally, after It worked to his entire satisfaction, has protected his rights by the patent law. He at ore time taught In a business college In Ohio and made a study of the typewriter. He noticed a defect and worked to remedy It. His model works to perfection and he thinks he has accomplished his point. A stenographer will readily sen tbe advantage of hit patent.

Bis attachment Is to be used on the Remington and other similar typewriters. It does away with the double set of keys, such as are used on tbe Vost, and alto with the holding of the capital key down with one hand while making the capital with the other. By striking a key of the attachment It makes the next letter a capital and then anto matlcily goes back to the email letters. Mr. Downing Is now teaching the SIgg school, southwest of the city, but will probably Introduce his patent next year.

He intends to place It In the business college first as there It can be appreciated. The drawings were made by himself and the model wh'ch he had to seed to Washington before he could get bin patent was made by John Moos, an expert In such work.
