Dr. T. M. Brown of Oakland City, was shot by his wife last Friday, the bullet lodging in his abdomen and and making a serious wround. They had quarreled because Mrs. Brown failed to get breakfast on time, and just as the hu&tand slammed the door she fired a revolver, the bullet first passing through the door and then striking the doctor. He owes his life to the fact that the bullet first passed through the* door. Mrs. Browrn was arrested that night and released on bond. Both Browrn and his wife claim the shooting was accidental. They have had frequent quarrels, some very violent. Dr. Brown recently sued Oak* land City saloonkeepers for furnishing liquor to his 18-year-old son, making him depraved and vicious.'

The session of the Indiana republican convention * begun Wednesday.' Frank Hanley was made chairman and Hugh Keegan secretary. J. W. Wilson of this, place, is one of the assistant secretaries. The platform makes the same old promises. The Porto Rico affair is not touched on in the platform, and the trust question is touched very lightly. The convention is very largely attended. The balloting for candidates began too late for us to give results this week. For governor the fight is redhot there being six candidates In the race. Last week one of the old landmarks of Monroe township was torn down. It was the old Blackfoot church in the Mason settlement. The building was erected many -years ago. A new and commodious place of workship will be erected. A committee composed of Asa Mason, John Yeager, John Dyer, George SWnner and D. C. McCullough, has been appointed to solicit funds and to superintend the construction of the building. Every person in that locality should lend their aid in the worthy enterprise.

Frank Shaw: Littles. James Kinman. Experience doesn’t always teach. Notwithstanding, the awful experience of our soldiers in the war with Spain, thousands of whom were made sick and unfit for duty, by eating the so-called canned roast beef, the War Department has ordered a big lot of the stuff sent to the Philippines for the use of our soldiers over there. Gen. Miles is as much opposed to this meat as he was during the war with Spain, and the War Department acted without consulting him. The United States Senate by a vote of 33 to 32 turned down Senator Quay of Pennsylvania as not entitled to a seat in the Senate. When the Pennsylvania legislature met to elect a senator there was a deadlock and no senator was selected and the governor appointed Senator Quay to succeed himsqlf. The Senate turned him down. The republican senators from Indiai\a were not present. There will be a split in Pennsylvania republican politics. The editor had the pleasure Wednesday of meeting a large number of the representative farmers of Lockhart township at Stendal. That little village presented a lively appearance on that day it being the occasion for payment of the spring installment of taxes. The democrats of that township are ready for the campaign to begin at a moment’s notice and will increase the majority over that of 1896. Mrs. Elda May Steele died at her home in this city Saturday morning of consumption. She was 25 years old. Her maiden name was Kinman. She was born and raised in Winslow. The funeral took place from the Baptist church Sunday. Interment in Oak Hills cemetery.—Winslow Dispatch.
