 fright caused her to faint.

His skull fractured, and suffering

 the result of a runaway accident Jan-

 on Allegheny avenue when, at Twenty- 

 ninth street, the harness broke. His 

 horse became frightened and bolted, 

 jostling Mr. Alger from the wagon. The 

 wheels passed over his head and body.

Mention The Review when you write. 



The M. Rice Co. has received many 

 congratulatory messages since the an- 

 nouncement, last week, of the organiza- 

 tion of the corporation. One of the 

 first came from Tong & Weeks Floral 

 Co., Ashtabula, O., who wrote: 



"In glancing over The Review this 

 morning, the pictures of five promising 

 young fellows came to our attention. 

 Boys, those five pictures we earnestly 

 believe spell the word 'Success.' We 

 believe incorporation a splendid method 

 of keeping together competent work- 

 men. It has been our pleasure to meet 

 only part of the company. We want to 

 congratulate you and wish you success, 

 and with each putting forth his best 

 efforts the M. Rice Co. will stand as 

 one of our leading supply houses of 

 the country."
