A CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY.
Ld Smith, of Near Ladoga, Instantly Killed by a Companion's Gun. A very 6ad tragedy directly resultant from the careless handling of firearms occurred yesterday afternoon near Ladoga, the victim being Ed Smith, a sixteen year old boy [residing nbout a mile east of tbe town. He, iu company, with Frank Brady, a yonbg man residing in Ladoga, went huuting yesterday and in the afternoon being tired by their tramp over field and wood climbed upon a fence to rest. Finally in a playful manner young Brady pushed Smith off his perch. He arose and tried to dislodge Brady who poked his loaded gun out in from of him. The Smith boy very thoughtlessly seized hold of the muzzle and gave it a jerk, expecting no doubt that he woukl in this manner pull Brady off the fence and "get even." Just how it happened is not positively known but the hammer was probably caught in Brady's clothtng and the gun discharged. The muzzle
waB
pressed close
to Sinith's^body at the time and the unfortunate youth received the entire lurge load of shot in his abdomen. He fell over and expired almost instantly. His wound was a frightful one and the poor lad probably never realized what hurt him. His grief stricked companion hastened for assistance and the body of the victim was tenderly carried to his home —a sad and tragio Christmas offering. The coroner WBB immediately summoned from New Ross to hold an inquest. Again the question of tbe careless bandling of firearms is presented by an awful objeot lesson. One life has been put ont forever and another darkened by a tragedy which will always stand before it saddening and rendering bitter for it the brightest and roost gladsome holiday in all the calendar.
Hard Times the Gas Belt, Christmas was about as usual in Crawfordsville, although the merchants are some of them complaining of a dull trade. There is no just cause of complaint here, however, when the condition of other portions of the State is considered. In the_ gas belt affairs are said, to be simply awful. Traveling men have ceased making the manufacturing towns, to a large extent, and business {there is practically at a standstill. Instead of a Btruggle for costly gifts it is a struggle there with gaunt and ghastly famine. Thousands of people are crying for bread and the merchants are completely flattened out. Crawfordsville ean certainly make no complaint of hard times when the pitiable condition'of her neighbors is considered.
Christmas at the Churches?^' The Sunday schools of the several churches all gave splendid entertoinments in honor of Christmas and the little folks were made to enjoy themselves to tbe utmost. Santa Claus appeared in person at several of,the entertainments and at one place addressed the'youngsters on the political issues of the day in a hRppy and enjoyable mnn-
funeral of Mrs. Harvey Ball. The remains of Mrs. Harvey Ball arrived here yesterday from Minneapolis and tbe funeral was conducted this afternoon at the residence of Robert Beck, by Rev. G. P. Fuson. Mrs. Ball was a sister of Mrs. W. P. Britton and Mrs. Robert Beck and was well known here by many citizens who regret to learn of her death.
Dr. M. 0. Drake's Remains. The remains of Dr. M. C. Drake will arrive at Ladoga to-night from San Francisco and will be brought here tomorrow on the 1 o'clock train. They will be taken charge of by Crawfordsville Commandery, Knights Templar, under weose auspices the interment will be made at Masonic cemetery.

I have found the Halm the only satisfactory remedy for catarrh, and it has effected a cure in my case.—H. Meyer, Waverly. N. Y.

Ohristmas for Harrie Poutious. When Harrie Fontious arrived at hiB store yesterday morning he was met by George Vance, his bead clerk, who in a very important and pompous manner presented him with a palm leaf fan. This fan WBB of very large dimensions and of great antiquity, the flies having u* it as a feediDg ground and roosting place for lo these many years. By a delicate blue tinted ribbon was a card attached, which after giving the compliments of the season hoped be would by its vigorous use be able to keep his red head cool. In explaining the matter to Zaok Mahorney and a lot of business men who called to have a look at tbe fan Punch said that this man Vance who bad made him the present was a large and juicy Demoorat of the unoombed variety, that he had been out very late tbe night before drinking ice water and all that morning had been yelling, "Hurrah for Cleveland and Qneen Lil," which he said would be tbe Democratic battle cry of 1896. The result of the ice water and the mildness of the weather bad muddled his gray bead to suob an extent that he imagined it was the 4th of July instead of Christmas and hence tbe present of ye ancient fan. It is now on exhibition over the desk of 1'iinch.
