Chillicothe's Fourth.

4 very large crowd was in attendance
ut Chilicothe's celebration there be-
ing many more people here than was
expected. The programme was carried
out TO the letter, with u single cXcep =
ton. The sack race, the slow mule
race, whcclbalTow race, catching grcaS-
ed pig, and creased pole climbing came
of in the forenoon, and the premiums
awarded in every instance, except the
creased pole climbing. There was n
five dollar bill on top of the pole, but
no one succeeded in getting more than
half way to it. The fire company also
made their display in the forenoon.
At noon large number spread their
dinners in the park, while still larger
number went to hotels and restaurants,
or home with their friends for their din
ners.
Immediately after dinner crowd of
several thousand congrcgated in the
park. Rev. Beagle opened the afternoon
exercises with prayer appropriate to
the occasion. Miss Mary Allbritain
then read the Declaration of lndepcnd-
enco, ,acquitting herself with great cred

Then Crisp, the orator of the day, de-
livered Il speech of an hour and forty
minutes duration. Crisp lives ON Il
farm in jackson County, this state, He
is n statesman, however, and has had
considerable experience in politics. In
1880, we believe it was, he was thimblc-
rugged out of the democratic nomlna-
ton for congress in the Kansas City
district. Supported by the Kansas City
Times he ran anyhow, and succeeded in
getting one-half of the Democratic votes
of the district. He is democrat yet,
but, though he touched on the slavery
question, on the rebellion, on civil SER
vice and other political matters, it
would be hard to tell who was pleased
the most, Democrat, Rcpub lican or
Greonbacker. lie complimentod tho
man who had tho courage to join n new,
weak party. He disapprovcd Of tho
so-callcd civil service reform. Didn' I
think it just right that because II man
didn't part his hair exactly in the mid
die, he should not hold Office. He said
he didn't believe there were five men in
Washington's forces that could pass IN
examination. II wonder" said he,
"what Washington and his men would
have thought if some night when they
were camping out in the cold and living
on half raw potatoes, some one would
have told them that after awhile we
were going to have ''clvil service re-
FORM" He referred twice to "the wal
that is coming, not war of swords, but
q commercial war;" but did not enlarge
ON this point-we wish he had lie
made splendid speech, and was listen
ed to attentively by all who could get q
position to see and hear.
After the conclusion of Cul, Crisp's
speech, and piece by the band, the
match game of base ball between
Wheeling and Kirksyille was announc.
ed as next on the programme. BY fal
the largest crowd that ever witnessed
a game of ball in this city was on the
grounds. The Wheeling Browns
though sustaining one or two white
washes, came off victorious, the score
standing ON the 9Th inning 2S to 10
The Kirksyilles made five tallies on ths
9th inning. The Wheellngs being aheaf
did not tako their 9th inning.

ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT AT
DAWN.
Owen Roberts Shot With a Target
Gun,


At Dawn on the Fourth, the celebra-
ton was marrcd by n serious accident
which occurred about II AN. Ed. Da-
Wis, OF Blue Mound township, while
shooting at target with a target gun
accidentally shot Owen Roberts, of Car.
roll county, near Plymouth. Just how
the accident happened, it is hard to tell
rs eye witnesses give conflicting &C.
counts of it, One says Ed was ia king
aim at the target and just rs he pulled
the trigger, Owen leaned over the rope
TO get Il ball which had fallen within,
and thus received the wound. Anoth-
cr eye witness says that Owen was not
in range and that the gun went off be-
fore Ed intended it to. Certain it is,
however, that it was purely accidental,
and no blame whatever is laid on eth
cr.
No. % calibrc cartridges were
used, aud the ball entered the back Of
the neck, to the right, and passed
through the mouth.
DR.. Mansfield, of this city, who was
an eye witness to the shooting,and Drs.
Tracy and Davis, of Dawn. dressed the
wound. For awhile ii was thought the
shot would prove fatal but latest re-
ports are encouraging.

ting "A foot-hold in New England.
While an epidemic in this section is
not greatly to be feared, any thing in
relation to the disease should interest
all. In this connection the Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal says edi-
torially:
There is not the slightest evidence,
that smallpox is in the strict sense a
filth disease. No amount of filth will
originate smallpox, and although
ceteris pdribuS, habits of cleanliness
will in IA measure prevent contagiOn, a
community of unvaccinated people,
who are scrupulously clean, would I'M
dOubtedly fare very much worse in the
face of an epidemic of variola than a
thoroughly vaccinated community of
VIGOROUSLY filthy habits. 1t should be
distinctly borne in mind that every
unvaccinated person in community
is source of danger whose presence
should not be tolerated. The public
health is paramount to private inter
ests, and no one has the right to en-
danger the lives of his fellows by
means Of his own neglect. Therefore
vaccinate
