The announcement of Gen. Hancock's
nomination by the Democratic National Con.
vention at Cincinnati, on Thursday morn
ing last, while great surprise, was certainly
a very agreeable one to the Democracy of
this county. We have yet TO find Demo-
crat who is not only satisfied, but enihus-
iastic over the result, while without scarcely
an exception, the Republicans concede his
ability, his patriotism, and uusullied reputa-
ton, pronouncing him the strongest uomi-
nee that could possibly have been selected.

The Bronze Monument.

Mr.. b. f. Adams, OF Lawton, has just erected
one of these beautiful monuments In the cem-
etery in the Kinney neighborhood, some seven

beauty of design, the symmetry of its parts, the
grandeur OF its appearance and it's indestructi-
bility, renders it far superior to anything in

Wanted a Change.

There was pretty little shooting
scrape at a little town in the interior
of Texas not long ago, and it was
not long before Galveston News
reporter was on the spot interview
ing one of the principals. .
$50 you are going to write it up"
said the survivor.
ayes, I want all the facts"
III don't care a cent what you say
about the shooting, but L have one
little favor to ASK
The reporter said he would grant
it cheerfnlly if he could.
nWell,n said the shootist, 81 want
you to put down that my grand
father was one of Lafitte's pirates,
and the worst cut-throat OF the
gang"
Tie reporter started a little, but
the shootist went on to say:
lEPlease put in that one of my un,
cles was hung by the Vigilance Com.
mittee of San Francisco, and two
more of them are making shoes in
the Illinois P enitentiary; that anoth
er one Of them is practising law in
New York, and my only sister ran
away from home with the clown Of
d circus; that as far as you car
learn there is not member OF the
family that has not done something
disgracefll."
ssWhy, what do you want all thai
in the paper for 2"
ssBecause am sick of reading il
the papers that every fellow who has
d little shooting scrape belongs t.
one Of the most respectable families
in the country. just put it down
for once, that one Of the parties tt
the unfortunate affair belongs to
highly disreputable family. Il yol
don't put it that way you will wisl

A Bail of Fire.
cleveland (Ohio) Leader.l

cleveland t0hio, Leader.l
About midnight of Saturday, Ca
ledonia, Marion county, was visited
by a terrific thunder storm, accom-
panied by hail and the most vivid
lightning, fash following flash in
quick succession. There had been
a political meeting there that even
ing, and the people from the neigh
boring villages and surrounding
country were detained by the storm.
Suddenly the sky appeared as bright
as noonday-in fact fine print could
easily have been read, SO great was
the light, but, strange to say, the
light was steady, not flash after flash,
as it would have been had the light
been caused by lightning.
A deafening roar was heard, con-
tinu;ng to become louder as the light
became brighter. Gradually the
roaring changed to kissing, spark
ling sound. 1t is needless to say
the people were frightened, and
upon running into the street a ball
discerning fire came moving through
theair from the northeast. The ball
seemed to be at least twenty five
feet iii diameter. As it neared the
earth the heat could be plainly felt
The body struck the earth just north
OF the village and buried over one
half of itself in the ground. Good
judges estimate the weight at three
to five tons, but the heat is SO great
that it is uncomfortable to go nearer
