WHO FIRED THE SHOT7

occurred at tho northwest corner Of Clark and
Madison 6treets, Of half-past o'clock yesterday
afternoon. gentleman, who appoArod to bo
voty much oxcited, ran out Of Cnmpbcn Bros.'
real estate Office, under tho Second Nntional
Bank, and inquired Of two young mon who woro
standing talking together on tho sidewalk, If
thep had observed anybody fro pistol, or had
hoard tho report Of tho woapon. They replied
in tho negative. He then pointed to small,
round hole in ono OF tho large platc-glass win
dows Of the real estate office, and said that
bullet had whizzod by his hoad while he sat
writing at his dosk. According to his stato-
ment, the smallH Hpaeo Of M inch was all TINT pro-
vented his brains being scattered around tho ROOM
A careful examination WAS made, but nothing
could bo learned of the myatorious ahootos
Several por8onB in the large crowd which asaonl-
blou On the cornor Immediately aftos tho occur
renco guessed at several explanations of tho
strange affair, but mono Of tho thooricB advanced
had been found to bo correct at last accounts.
It ls probable tlRt tho shot was accidentally tlrol
from ono Of the buildings opposite. Il ia also
probable that the ehot was not fired at all, as no
person with any positive knowledge to tho con-
trary Gun be found in the city. Moreover, it Is
highly probable that aomo mtBchlovous urchin
hurled pebble through tho window and then
run aNay. These theories can bo used without
cost. Tho hole in tho window is almost half an
inch in tliamotor. Tho missile tint caused It
WIS closely searched for, but was not diseoy-

A DISTRESSING CASE,
Shocking Dcnth from SMALLPOX
Of a Young Lady.
Neglected by Kciglibors md Friends, Her
Only Companion Paralytio Mother,
She Yields Up Her Life.

caBo OF aingu1ar hardship and suffering has
rocontly bcen brought to light In ono Of Oll-
cago'a most beautiful suburbs. A young Indy,
whose nnrno Ia suppressed through foelingu Of
dclicacy, WAS supporting herself and agel mother
by toaching music.
Going to tho house Of o pupil In this city,
about noon on D day eomo throo weeks ago, sllo
olther failed to notice or hood d smallpox warn
Ing on tho building. Entering tho house with
out knocking, ashcr custom was, Bho mot arathor
gundily-droaaod Btrango lady, who remarked
to hcr Z" Tlis Is no place for YOU" On asking
why, aho was informed that tloro was case Of
smallpox in tho house.
Sho folt sudden faintncBs, and hastily loft
tho place. In about two neeks tho droadful
malady struck lor down.
Hor mother, boing paralytio and mover hav-
Ing had tho diBoaae, was afraid aud unable to
1ninietor to her wants, nnd slo was neglected by
tho nofghbors for tho samo reason.
Hor physioian, boing from tho city, was not in
tho habit Of visiting her ovory day, mud tho
mother WAS at timos 30 paralytto that sho could
not leave hor chair or bod without assistance.
The young lady, thus neglected, grow rapidly
worso, and one afternoon 1er mother, not being
able to movo, sitting with her back to the sick
chamber, heard tho death gurglo Of hor daugh-
tor.
slio was unable to summon attendance, and
sat thero alono with tho dead during tho long
night. She know hor daughter was doad, but
was ovon unable to turn III hor chair. And when
the noighbors found out lilo state Of affairs tho
next day, Gricf had 1nado tho old lady doaf.
A moro distressing cnso could not we'll DO con-
ceivod Of, and 1t is a roproach to tho intelligence
and humanity Of any noighborhood TINT would

y KANSAS HoRsE-The great
sensation among the sporting men
of the west at the present time is
the trotting stallion Smuggler,
which has been training at Elm
park track at Olathe, Kansas, for
the past three months. The horse
is 153 hands high, dark bay Dor
dering on brown, and of a power
full frame. He is seven years old,
and was broken to trot less than a
year ago. He has made a heat in
less time than 2:20, which is the
fastest time ever made by n stall
lion. The horse is perfectly gen
tie and kind, and can be driven by
any one. He does not become ex-
cited by racing.
By a special dispatch to the
Atchison Globe we learn that on
Tuesday a number of horsemen,
among whom were +. Short, OF
Kannas City, Captain Tough, of
Leavenworth, and B. Akefs, of
Kansas steed fame, and others, re-
paired to the Olathe fair grounds,
which enclose the finest track
west of Buffalo, to witness n trial
of speed by this wonderful horse.
The Globe correspondent marked
the time when the fieet-footed steed,
on the wings of the air as it were,
encircled this beautiful mile course
in 2:193. There is no DENYING the
fact that Kansas has the horse of
the age. He is larger, stronger,
handsomer and safer horse than
Dexter ever was, and can beat the
time thai he made with the same
training. He has worked less than
six months and goes below 2:20.
He draws a driver that weighs
near $50 pounds. His gait is a
perfection Of trot and action.
There is no hop, skip and Jump
about it, When he breaks, which
is seldom, he loses badly. He has
never been taught the art of max
ing time by breaking. Taken all
in all he is a prodigy on the turf,
and will soon startIe the sporting
world

WHEAT GROWERS CONVENTION.

The farmers of Douglas comfy
met in convention last week to
consider the best means whereby
the present crop of wheat might
be adyantageously disposed of.
A committee on resolutions was
appointed and the following re-
ported: M
WHEREAS, In consideration of
the fact that TniiIers and dealers
have agreed on a price for our
wheat far below the cost of pro-
duction, and that it is impossible
Cor sto produce and market wheat
for less than S1.25 per bnshel, to
say nothing ofspFofit, and that the
prices Of -four does not in any
measure conform with the prices
now offered for wheat, therefore
be it
Resolred, That We, the prodnc-
I.ers, viii not sell our present crop
of first class wheat for less than

ResoIred, That if we cannot Sc

for our wheat IN this market, we

moralzing to the public and to
those who are guilty OF triiing
with them under the license of the
reporters pen. It is a bad, bad
business. It is an evil which
every paper claiming to be respec-
table ought to cut up, root and
branch. So long as crime is treat
ed lightly it is encouraged. So
long, too, as the edifylng, inform
ing, remedial and purifying agen-
cies of the world are subordinated
in the public notice to the records
of vice and crime, simply because
they are less startling or spicy, it
is nonsense TO talk about quack
advertisements, and a parade of
mock virtue which deserves both
to be pitied and laughed at.
The daily paper has now become
visitor in every family of ordi
nary intelligence. 1t has become
the daily food of children and
youth all over cur country, and it
ought never TO hold a record which
would naturally leave an unwholc-
some effect upon their minds. If
crime is recorded, it should be re.
corded as crime, and with q con
scientious exclusion of all the de-
tails that the editor would exclude
were he called upon to tell the
story to his boy upon his knee, or
to his grown-up daughter sitting
at his side. The way in which
nastiness and beastliness are ad-
vertised in criminal reports is
abominable. 1t is not necessary:
1t is not on any account desirable.
A thousand things of greater mo
ment and OF sweeter import pass
unnoticed by the press every day.
The apology that the press must
be exact, impartial, { ithful, literal,
etc, is q shabby one. A press Is
never impartial, when, by the pre-
dominance it gives to crime In its
reports, it conveys the impression
that crime is the most important
thing TO be reported, when, in
truth, it is the least important.
Its records do not hinder crime, do
not nourish virtue, do not advance
do not purify youth,
do not build up the best interests
of society; and the absorption OF
the columns of the public press by
Them is stupendous moral nui-
sance that ought to he abated.
We do not expect the press to
DC much in advance of the people.
either in morality or intelligence.
1t is quite as much the OutgFowth
Is the leader of our civilization,
1ut it ought TO be an emanation
rom the best American spirit and
culture and not the worst. We
hall have, probably, so long as
rhine exists, professional scaven-
yers who travel in its way to CLEAN
md gorge its uncieanness. We
layc such now, and a beastly
,rOod who CLEAN after them oven;
nut why a press claiming TO be re
pectable should deem it its duty
o assist in their dirty work sur
'asses our comprehension. We
epeat-it is not necessary; it is

APPETITE.-At certain seasons.
as in spring and summer, the APP
petite of even the very robust Is
apt to fail, and the relish for meats
and heavy food to wane. This is
all right enough, for animal diet
in warm weather heats the blood,
tends to headache and is generally
unYholsome, unless sparingly
used. On the other hand, fresh
vegetables, berries, fruit and bread
are cooling, corrective, and what
the palate most Graves. Don't be
afraid TO go without meat for a
month or so, and, if you like, live
purely on q Vegetable regimen.
We will warrant that you will lose
no more strength than is common
to the time, and that you will not
suffer from protracted heat as
when dining on the regulation
roast.
Many persons regard a hearty
desire for food as something unre-
fined, indicate, and to be con
stantly discouraged. This great
er and more hurtful mistake than
coaxing the appetite. Its Just as
necessary for the man who works
only with his brain to eat beef and
mutton as for the man who labors
solely with his hands. The stom-
ach and the brain are twins; the
former being the elder and having
prior right TO care. Let that be
well provided for; and it will sus-
tain its brother. The people who
strive to check a wholesome and
natural appetite are the people who
regard dinner merely as a feed,
not the centre of an agreeable
social custom and as the domestic
event of the day. We are sorry
for them, as they must regard eat
ing at all as a prosaic duty, obi
gatory on them because they have
q bias in favor Of living. We all
know that We must eat to live: but
We by no means 1--we TO eat simply
because we enjoy what We eat. We
are not Commands because We relish
chops, ncr are we inyaEids because
ne want strawberries.
A good appetite is a good thing;
but not IL it is TO be worried BY
urging or by neglect.-aHome and
Society" Scribner's for August.
