H's injuries were pronounced of a trivial nature, and he left, on the 10:45 train for home. Bat the real effects of the fall did not ceem to appear until Freund ar rived home, since which time his mind has been a blank. He only re members that he wa in'Uack Island, and is constantly inquiring what has happened to him. Chief Frazer, of the Muscatine police department, telephoned Chief Pender tor details of the affair last night. As near as Chief Pender has been able to learn, Freund, who had come to the city to spen4 Sunday with a lady friend, who is vi-itiug hre, boarded a blue line car for the Rock Island depot, whe e he arrived about 9: 10 He did not ring the bell until the car was opposite the depot, and conse quently the motorman did not bring it to a standstill until the passenger station was passed.

Kvery member of the union pledges himself to charge no less than 10 cents for a shine, whether it be ordinary blacking, tan polish or patent leather. There has been some undercutting amnn? the boys of late, and this has led to the amalgamation of interests. Takru to im Asylum. Charles Uingstrom, aged 30 year', with a wife and two children at Mo line, was taken to Jacksonville today by Bailiff Olmsted. A jury com posed of Dr. C. B Kioyon, J. E. Fleming, W. B. Bruner, W. L. Nichol. 6 F. Scbmale and John Hauptman, declared Kiogstrom in sane in the county court. The first intimation of the patient's mental derangement was last Wednesday, when on returning home from work, he became quarrelsome, threatening his wife and little ones, at whom be hurled furniture. His condition grew rapidly worse. As thtre is no trace ot insanity in Ringstrom'a fam ily, his present trouble is attributed to an attack of brain fever which he suffered abouTfive years ago.

DASHED DOWN A HILL. Tbxae Toon In biwri la a XVnlfla Baiaway at Par Byrea. Port Byron. July 27 About 8:30 last evening as William. Miller, Jhn Durbin and George Durbin, three young men of Coe, were coming into town they had an experience which none of them will ever care to repeat. In coming down the Cherry street hill near the residence of Frank Ssel ton, part of the harness gave way, allotting the shafts to sp up over the horse's back. The horse being frightened, struck out djwn the hill at a terrilie pace and in attempting to tarn the corner at the Methodist church the young men were all three thrown ont onto the graveled street, the horse going into ihe deep gutter in front of the church, and the ouggy turning completely over and landing on top of the horse. Toe boys were all bruUed and cut with the rocks on which they struck, but fortu nately no bones were broken. Tney all went to the effiae of Dr. Brnner, where their wounds were dressed. John Durbin received an ugly 3-cornered cut on his head just above the right temple, which required several etitches. When the buggy was removed so that the horse could get out of the ditch he came np in good shape with the rim of one hind wheel around his neck. The torse did not seem to be injured at all, but the buggy, which was a new one, is badly de moraliztd. The boys were all able to ride home after the doctor got tbem patched np, and all felt that they escaped very fortunately. THE BRIDGE BUSINESS.
