A SHOT WAS FIRED

into the window of the old mans
house by some one evidently intent
on killing him, and he escaped death
by narrow chance. The occurrence
was nipety-days' wonder, as the
old man hadn't an enemy in the world

that on that day Isaac procured o
revolver at hardware store in Ada,
saying that he was going on q jour-
ney, and would need such an instru-
ment. That night he was absent from
home, and the next day he returned
the weapon, declaring that he had
changed his mind. About this time
Isaac again visited his father, to talk
over the affair Of the note, and they
repaired to the harm together. Short
ly' after he returned and reported

Things are lively just now in the
Democratic party. The Kansas City
Times, the red hottest Democratic
paper in the West, says:
ut would be Q very sad thing if
Democratic investigating committees
should save the Republican party
from nominating Jim Blaine, and
leave their own party to be saddled
With q job candidate like Sam Tilden.
A little investigation of "Slippery
Sam" would throw Blaine's bond OPP
eratiops and rifle contracts in the
shade"
1t is ale samee, however. You are
busted If you nominate Tilden, and
yon are busted If You don't. Now,
which horn of the dilemma will yon
take? Nominate Tilden, and you
lose Indiana; nominate Hendricks,
and you lose New York.

Salonica condemning the Governor of

WHEN DOES A CHILD BECOME HU-
MAN BEING ?-.This is a question which
has not in this State been settled in
law until the present week, when the
Supreme Court decided in case
brought up from Floyd county. A
doctor was called to attend woman
in child birth. The child died. The
doctor was charged with killing the
child, was tried and convicted OF
granddaughter, under an instruction
of the court, that if the jury found
the child was born alive, whether the
umbilical cord was severed OF not
made no difference /; the killing of the
child was murder.
The Supreme Court held this in
structi0n to be erroneous, IN that it
assumed an existence of that which
was impossible. That child cannot
be said to have lived SO as to be the
subject Of homicide, unless it has re-
spiration and circulation independent
Of its mother. Itmay have circulation
without respiration. But when the
umbilical cord is severed, it must have
respiration or die. In other words
not to have breathed is not to have
lived. The court below was reversed.
This decision will also probably settle
the question Of descent Of property
