It was a four horse team and the forward pair managed to escape by leaping forward and thus became detached from the others. The driver, Fred Hahr, was under tho pile of beer kegs and was not extri cated until some men on their way to work relieved him. He escaped with a broken arm. The two rear horses were slightly injured. The space where they went down was about fourteen feet square. Fears are entertained that the cavein will extend and effect a number of houses nearby.

This is the season of the year when some misguided advertisers cut down their space because business is dull. If advertisements are business bringers, and they must be or merchants would not pay for them, the dull season is a good time to double the space, It would be a poor locomotive engineer who would let the steam pressure run down on up-grades. Shrewd merchants are seeing this, and when the people seem reluctant to buy simply convince them by stronger arguments. Fatal Result of a Wound. Mrs. S. B. Stupp died Tuesday after noon after suffering over a year. In tho spring of 1892 a boy playing outside the house carelessly discharged a loaded gun, the full charge of fine shot passing through a window, striking Mrs. Stupp full in the face and chest.
