Duckett was formerly teacher in the fourth room of the Rourbon schools and also superintendent oi the Etna Green cehools. A prominent lady of this city owes her life to a mere circumstance. One day this week while engaged in cleaning house her little live-year-old son picked up a revolver aad taking aim at her, fired. The ball did not miss her so many inches but what the narrowness of the escape was appreciated. The mother did not know the weapon was loaded and the little son was probably totally unconscious that he j was doing anything either dangerous or out of place. From Saturday's Dally.

His little brother was holding the lines, when a bicvele started the team and the sudden movement precipitated Peters to the ground, striking on hi9 hear1. He was unconscious tor several minutes. In the fall he received a 6evere scalp wound, and was taken to a doctor who attended to his injuries.. Rreraen Enquirer. Probably no law has provoked more open rebellion among the people, than the fish law passed by the late legislature. Yellow river is tilled principally with carp, a tish which multiplies rapidly and soon drives out every other lish more valued as a dainty morsel than itself. Fishermen can see no consistancy in observing a law which protects a pest and virtually provides for the extermination of bass, pike, sunlish, blue gills, etc. .Better had such fish dissapear down the gullets of hungry citizens than before the destructive invasion of a 6chool of carp. Farmers too, feel an injustice done them by the law. When the river is measured off with their land and they are compelled to pay taxes upon it, they claim the right to lish in its waters as something inalienable. They might justly envy the man who resides by the shore of a lake, lie does not pay taxes on the water and he can lish in it at will. In this one can readily see a double injustice. From Monday's Dally. Enoch Newcomb is being tortured by a carbuncle on his hand. (. W. Smith preached at Inwoodyes terday. Three were baptized. The season for mushrooms is at hand. The woods are said to be full of them. One year ago toc'ay Dewey entered the harbor at Manila and sank Admiral Montejo's lleet.

Thre are in the United Stales over 50 distinct secret order9, with more than 70,000 lodges and 5,000,000 members. Miss Bertha Bartlet of the Rescue Mission wa9 called to South Rend this morning on account of her mother's illness. The county board of education held their annual May meeting this afternoon and listened to the report of the enumeration. Saturday a domestic row accured between a man and wife residing in our city.

It is predicted that the Sunday excursion business this summer will far exceed that of any previous year. Every road in this territory will engage in it. Eugene Tascher is decorating the wall? of Rentschler's hall in a brilliant and beautiful fashion. He is painting many scenes as natural, almost as the originals. Among the pictures he has turned his brush to, so far, is "Home, Sweet Home,' "Battleship Maine," with background the harbor of Havana, "The Old Mill," and several others. Mr. Tascher is an artist of talent and his pictures verify such a statement. A terrific wind storm, almost equal to a cyclone in its destructive effects, struck the Roggs settlement southeast of this city yesterday. Trees in profusion were torn up by the roots. Several pines were t listed to the ground and almost an orchard of apple trees suffered a similar displacement. Luckily no houses were materially damaged or human life might have been en dangered. Charley Rushman, a foreman at the Novelty, has proven conclusively that he possesses all the proclivities of a professional lieherman. Last year he caught a pike so large that it required the assistance of his father-in-law, Mr. Ileadinger. to land it, but in doing so Mr. Ileadinger had his hand badly chewed by the lish. Saturday night Charley tried his hand again 8nd caught a bushel of cat fish, an eel and a water dog.

Over SSO was cleared. The opera house was divided oll in booths, where goods of different varieties were on sale. An appropriate program had been prepared to divert the multitude. Among the numbers were several selections by the Mozarts. Miss M. Kerne rendered a piece which proved her superior talent as an elocutionist. Herbert Patton and his pupil, Freddie Kuhn, gave delightful exhibitions of their skill upon the violin. During the course of the evening Rev. Weiss was presented with a pillow. Zach Tanner held the lucky number which drew the quilt. I the Wheat Crop Lost? The universal opinion among farmers is that the wheat crop is irreparably lost. An exchange says even the most experienced crop prophet can hardly yet determine the actual damage to a single field. Injury to such hardy plants as wheat is not caused by freezing but by too rapid thawing. To determine the injury resulting from too rapid thawing the incipient stems should be split open and if a small, dark spot can be detected in the center it is tolerably certain that the germ is dead, even should the plant otherwise appear thrifty. If an early rolling is practicable, wheat may in a measure recuperate even after rough usage. glQKBUYSA$3.50 SUIT .H)0 1 LLtKKAIkl) 'kAYlttfcAHUlT 'doabls at and double knee.
