Accidental Death.
Coroner liarcus returned a verdict of accidental death in the case of John Stingley. It was developed at the inquest that* the rifle was an old one which for some time had been considered dangerous because it could be kept cocked with difficulty. On Tuesday, however, the victim of the accident worked with it and thought he had placed it in a state of perfect repair.
S. D, lvellisonV Experience. Several days ago S. D. Kellison underwent quite a painful experience at his home northeast of the city. He was out in the fields and while walking along a high hillside slipped and fell. He did not stop with falling but at once shot down the steep hill head first traversing the distance of one hundred and thirty feet in about three seconds. Strange to relate he suffered no particular inconvenience from his fall and slide.
Disorderly.
Most of the church bells failed to ring Friday night at midnight, the au thorities very properly denying the privilege of ringing them to the loons who made application. However, a number of whistles were blown to "welcome in the new year" and provoke profanity from those aroused from sleep. The police should have run in the instigators of this unearth ly hub bub on a charge of disorderly conduct.
i!I.Vll)i TUOl'ULKS.
The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the uriue and as such it is not liable to any form of disease, except by one of two way6. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases.
SAMl'I .K SENT FKEE.
I nhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. It is comforting to know that l)r. Kilmer's Swamp-Root fulfills every wish in quickly curing bladder and urinary troubles. It corrects frequent calls, inability to hold urine, and scalding or stinging pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr, Kilmer's Swamp-Root i6 soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists', fifty cents and one dollar. Yon may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention THE CBAWFORDSVII.LE JOURNAL and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Birmingham, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of thia offer.
HE TOLD THE TRUTH.
A KanKftH Editor Retaliates] A I ter Being Guyed Concerning- the Similarity of His Descriptions of Local
Functions.
The editor of the Atchison Qlohc has told the truth about a society "function." Describing an event he says: "Descriptions of receptions and parties as they appear in newspapers are invariable criticised, although every precaution is taken to represent them as agreeable'and truthful as possible. Mrs.
W. Dinwiddie's reception yesterday afternoon was an exact counterpart of similar functions given by Atchison society every few days.- We give as truthful a representation as possible. Mrs. Dinwiddie received in her wedding gown, originally a white satin, which had been made over wiuh the new shade of geranium yelvet. Mrs. Dinwiddle was assisted by Mrs. John Thomas Tompkins, who wore the same organdie gown which has been so frequently described in these columns. Great surprise was manifested, quietly, among the guests to find the Misses Skylark also receiving. Mrs Dinwiddie barely knows them (ao her guests remarked after they left), but their social standing is so high, and their gowns always so pretty, that she allowed the bounds of mere ac quaintanceship to be overstepped for this occasion. In the parlors there were three palms, and a few straggling roses were in a vase on the piano. The dining room was decorated with the conventional smilax and ribbon, trained from 'he hanging lamp to the table. Miss Kyern and her guest, Miss DeSmithe, served the coffee, which was cold. In the back parlor, Mrs. G. Y. Dalrymple dispensed the warm and melted ices. Miss Daisee Fallair and Miss Sara Ainsie officiated at the punch bowl, where the red lemonade was voted better than usual. Nine orten violets were scattered on the table, and the effect was striking. Considerable regret was expressed that Miss Mae Chainey's services could not be procured, as she is always a drawing card at receptions, because of her spicy gossip. Mrs, Dinwiddie used the remainder of her refreshments at a whist party last night."

Periods of regular storm and change will be central on the 3d, covering the to (3th. About the 2d changes to warmer, with falling barometer, will noted in western part of the country, which facts will cause southerly to easterly winds in sections east of the low barometric area, and they will result in rain and snow in most parts from about Monday, the 3d, to Tuesday the tith. Moon will be at her extreme north declination on the 5th, which fact is apt to prolong the warm conditions until about full moon on the 7th, about which date look for violent change to high barometer and cold. A reactionary storm period will center on the 9th to 12th, moon being on the celestial equator on her swing southward on the 12th. Look for a very sharp, cold wave to press close behind these reactionary storms, reaching even southern extremes.
The next regular storm period is central on the 15th, covering the 14th to 17th. Change to falling barometer, warmer, and many reactionary storms will center on and touching the 21st and 22d. These in turn will be followed by another general and severe change to colder. Watch about the 23d to 24 th.
The last regular storm period for January will be central, in conjunction with a Mercury period, on the 2(3th. About Wednesday, the 20, to Sunday, the 30th, look for general and marked winter storms. There will be general rains, turning to snow and heavy sleet, with blizzards in many northern and western sections. Winter will perhaps get his firmest, general grip on our continent about the ciose of this period.
The last half of February and the first half of march will bring much severe and unpropitious weather.

General Pando Reported Disheartened Over Obstacles Which Prevented a Successful Campaign Against the Insurgents In Santiago de Cuba—Ex-Minlsler
Canalejas Also Discouraged.
HAVANA, via Key West, Jan. 8.—The insurgent general, Francisco Carillo, with 1,000 men from Santa Clara province has entered Matanzas province near Hanabana, and it is supposed to be on the way to reunite with the concentrated insurgent forces under Brigadier General Suarez and Cepero in Havana province.
The Diario De La Marina calls the attention of the authorities to the pitiable condition of the people of the town of Alonzo Rojas, in Pinar del Rio province. During tlie first 10 days of December 100 persons (lied. Whole families of eight and 10 persons have perished. Of 92 volunteers only 19 aro fit for duty, the remainder being sick with smallpox.
At San do Mingo, Santa Clara province, the smallpox epidemic has increased terribly in spite of the splendid •weather, but the fevers have slowly decreased. In the districts of Jicotea, Menacas and the central plantation Espeeranza smallpox is raging among the concentradoes, many ot' whom have died. Most of the concentradoes are without medical attention, food and other necessities of life.
It is reported from Santiago do Cuba that General Pando is greatly disheartened on account of the obstacles which prevented a successful campaign against the insurgents in that province. He declares that, he has no base of operations, the insurgents' control being so complete that it is impossible to convey supplies to Spanish columns operating in the interior of the province. General Pando is said to be convinced that the insurgents of Santiago de Cuba province will nor. accept autonomy. When ho was in Spain he did not realize that the insurgents in the province had such strength.
Ex-Ministcr Canalejas, the Madrid editor, who has been investigating the situation in Cuba, is said to be thoroughly discouraged with the outlook. He will return to Spain shortly, sudden death of his sister being given as the reason for hastening his departure.
Senor Amblanard, who has just returned from the United States, takes the same hopeless view of the situation as Setior Canalejas, and it is stated that he will decline the proffered appointment of secretary to the Cuban autonomist cabinet.
Senor Capules, governor of Santiago de Cuba, has resigned, being unwilling to make appointments dictated to him by the government through General Pando.

PKISON CONTRACT, ..LABOR.
Seventeen Cents Per Day the Average Wages ol' Kentucky Convicts. FRANKFORT, Ky., Jan. 3.—Inspector Lester and Expert Weaver have completed the report on the chair contract in the Frankfort penitentiary, and it shows that from Aug.
