A Boy Shot and Killed.
A LL it takes to make a first-class tragedy is two or three foolish boys and an "unloaded" gun. This was the combination which on Tuesday afternoon ended in the shooting and subsequent death of Glenn Ralston of this city. He was out in a boat at the Yountsville dam with John Sidener and Bert Warner, and with them was the inevitable gun. Ralston and Warner had^been splashing water on Sidener, who threatened to shoot them if they didn't stop, and picked up the gun, a repeating 22-caliber rifle. They worked the lever several times and no cartridge fell into place, and all thought it was unloaded, but alas one had caught, and by a some means the gun went off, its contents passing through the bowels of young Ralston. He was brought home by Dr. Engleman, of Yountsville. It was thought that there was a chance for him but he died Wednesday. There is no disposition to hold anyone responsible for the shooting, as all agree that it was purely accidental. Solomon never penned a greater truth than this: "Better meet a she bear deprived of her fchelps, than to meet a fool in his folly." People will never learn that it is the "unloaded" gun that always kills, and fools who will point fire arms at others, and kill them without loads, will continue to thrive as long as the world lasts.
The County Council.
A, R.
COR the past week the County Council has been in session discussing the estimates placed before it by the various county officials. This •is a new business to most of the members of that body, and not having made a study of public affairs they are in the dark as to a great many things. We believe that every county official has tried lsis best to be conservative in his estimate. He would naturally want to make it big enough, for there is no provision to meet a shortage on the estimate—but none of them have made an exhorbitant estimate. They have without exception been fair, very conservative indeed, and indicate a desire on the part of the officials to try the merits of the law honestly. The point which the Council sticks on is the estimate of the commissioners on the repairs of the court house. It is quite likely that this will be cut out of the estimate. There is, of course, two sides to the question. The county's property, especially its valuable records, should not be placed in jeopardy.
Ou the other hand the people feel that their taxes are about as big they desire to see them get. It may be economy however to let the estimate stand and the repairs be uiade.
City Improvements.
At a special meeting of the •council it has been decided by a vote of seven to one to construct a two ring brick sewer from the Central school building north 011 Green street to the big sewer. The sewer will be 3i inches to Main street and 40 from there to the end. Mr. Smith is the one proposing the work, which will be built out of the city's general fund, the-contract to be let to the lowest bidder. Those who tap the sewer will be charged for the privilege. Mr. HuttoB. voted against the ordinance.
Bug Bit.
AGAIN
the kissing bug has visited town, and cts attack was made on Clint Norqueet. The osculation seeker entered the open window and made a dart for ti&e ruby lips of Mr. N. but missed his mark and fas ened itself over his left eye. He awoke with a yell, jerked tine bug loose and cast it into outer darkness. He carried about a violent swelling for several days as the result of the interview.
Grand Opening.
AFTER
many disappoiotments and delays we are finally in shape for opening of the new store. The Big Store will not be open for business during our removal, but on Tuesday evening, Sept. 12th, the doors will be thrown open for the grand opening which will continue all wee except from Wednesday at 6 p. m. to Thursday at 6 p. m. during which time the store hill be closed on account of Jewish Holiday. Every one is invited to come and see the finest and largest dry goods store in the state.

Killed By Lightning.
WEDNESDAY'S storm was productive of many casualties, the saddest one being the death of little Grace Jones, the 12-year-old daughter of James Jones, of Fiskville. The lightning struck an electric light pole standing in front of the house, and followed the stay wire which extended over the Jones summer kitchen. It leaped from the wire and struck the child who was on the back porch, crushing her skull and causing instant death. The pole was torn into splinters. Another bolt leaped into an upstairs window of Jesse Morrison just across the street from the Jones homes home and tore the contents of the room into bits and shocked Mrs. Morrison 60 badly that she was unconscious for some time.
Mauy of the electric lights about the city were struck and a number of telephones burned out. Three horses belonging to Charles Rhoads, of Veedersburg, were killed. The residence of Mrs. Col. Blair was struck and the chimneys demolished. The lady herself was seriously stunned. D. C. Booher, of Darlington, lost two barns. One was struck and the flames communicated to the other. The loss was total, including two horses. The storm was especially severe along Sugar creek. Many trees were destroyed by lightning and torn down by the wind. It was one of the biggest storms for years.
Badly Afflicted.
A FEW weejs since Noah J. Clodfelter was brought to this city very ill, by his brother Marion, and since then has been at his brother's home since. He will probably never recover. His unfortunate business ventures induced a strain which has broken him down mentally. His nerves are shattered and the whole mental fabric totters. The many friends of Mr. Clodfelter will be pained to learn of his critical condition.
Better Than He Expected.

The accidental shooting at the Park on Tuesday evening of Glenn Ralston by John Sidener is another case of the careless handling of firearms, and supposition that the gun was not loaded. Guns should not be pointed at. any one, loaded or unloaded. The families have the sympathy of the neighborhood in this unfortunate affair.

She had sunk the third time and was nearly drowned when rescued by Douglas.
