Instructor last summer year. He

Forty-two Bullets in His Stomach

Mr.. James Houston, who lives out
on the Flats, is in very peculiar
and precarious condition. He has
in his stomach AZ rifle bullets, and
there is no telling how much damage
they may work. Mr.. Houston is a
man of about so years, and for long
time has been in bad health. Some
time ago his disease took very cos
tive turn, and somebody advised
him to take that old remedy, bull
let. Believing that if one would be
good, several would be better, he be-
gan taking and continued to take
at intervals until he had swallowed
AZ rifle bullets. So far the physi-
clans have been able to do but little
for him, and what was taken as
medicine may at last be the cause OF
his death.

The Same Disease.

The Morgantown journals com
plain because the railroad, while
bringing large quantities of goods
to that place, takes literally nothing
away on the return trip. They are
already beginning to see the bad eff
fects of this policy. We have labor
ed under the same disability here to
almost as great an extent as the
Monongalians. True little lumber
is sent off, but not near enough to
pay for the articles that we bring
from a distance, and that could just
as we'll be raised here. Until this
is amended we can always expect to
remain poor.-Buckhdnmon Busy

CLEAN UP.-The time to make the
annual "clean up" of houses, cellars,
streets, alleys, DC, has arrived. An
exchange refers to the matter in the
following paragraph in such a sensi-
BILE way that we commend it to the
careful consideration of our readers:
Spring is now approaching and the
warm days will soon be here, when
all the rubbish, the accumulation of
winter, will begin to decay and give
off it's poisonous gases, hence the
necessity of looking after the santa
ry condition of the town. While we
have in the past escaped the pestil-
ences with which other towns have
been afflicted, it is no argument that
we will fare so well in future. A
little precaution may prevent great
disasters. Life is more valuable than
the small amount of labor and money
it would cost to attend to these mat
tiers in time. Remember the maxim,
can ounce of the preventive is worth
a pound of the cure" and "He that
is not sick needeth not physician;
but he that is sick" Let us look
into these matters, and keep our
premises clean and by this means, use
one of the best preventives against
disaster.

A Durbannah Racket.

Last Saturday night, about IL
O'Clock, the citizens Of Durbannah
were aroused from their quiet slum-
bers by a terrible racket down in the
neighborhood of the railroad. There
were loud and unearthly screams
and cries of "helpw and "oh, OH
and ''doz'tr' and "murder~ and
much more from the same depart
ment of the dictionary. A little in
vestigation revealed the fact that
VIII Blue, the only and original
coon whistler, famed ON several con
tinents, &c, was doing what he
could towards disposing of his moth
er, sisters and others of the family.
1t seems that about the time men
toned he happened to remember that
something like year ago he had in
his possession little box of paints
and that that box of paints could
not now be found. He charged his
sister May, aged about IA, with hav-
ing stolen or appropriated the box
and its contents, and at once pro-
ceeded to infict condign punishment.
Hence the cutlery. The remainder
of the family interfered but were
driven out of the house and took
shelter in the neighborhood. After
having cleaned out the ranch Will
held indisputable possession until
Sunday morning when he was ar
rested by Constable Odbert and
dumped into the craw of the Bald
Eagle.
Monday evening the racket was
continued. Blue became stubborn
and wouldn't go to his cell. Ser
geant Slime was sent for, but Blue
still refused to go, and hit Slime a
terrible blow over the head with an
empty beer bottle. 1t was then
Shines turn, and he knocked Blue
down and gave him such a pounding
as he will likely have no trouble
in calling to memory when he
grows old.

A SENSATION IN FAYETTE COUNTY
CAPT. MUTT SAID TO HAVE BEEN
SHORT IN His AcCoUNTs.-In its re-
port of the business transacted in
court in Fayette county last week
the Connellsville Courier says: The
most startling item in court news
this week was developed incidentally
in going over the argument list yes
terday. 1t was in effect that the
late Captain A. c. Mutt was short in
his accounts as cashier of the State
treasury $40, 500 when he was slain
by Nicholas Lyman Dukes. 1t is
well-known that Captain Mutt left
nothing when he died. On the other
hand he was somewhat involved.
The report of the auditor appointed
to distribute the funds arising out
of the sale of certain property of the
decedent came up for confirmation
by the court yesterday morning.
W. H. Playford, who seldom appears
in court anymore, was on hand to
represent General Baily, ex-state
treasurer, who objected to the report
Playford stated in the course of his
argument that Mutt was carrying
$4,000 barrels of oil at the time Of
his death with Harris and Company
oil brokers of Pittsburg; that Mutt
was found to be short in his accounts
$42, 800; that General Bailey took
this oil and released the estate; that
the oil was finally sold at profit O.
$4,000. This amount, it seems, was
allowed to go into the general fund
by the auditor of Nuts estate, hence
the objections of Baily who claims
it as his money. General Baily re
fused last night to talk about thu
matter further than to confirm thu
statement that Mutt was short il
his accounts in the amount mention
ed at the time of his death. Rumor
of this nature have been quietl.
handed around heretofore, but unit
now they have not been confirmed
Oil speculation is said to be respon
sible for the shortage.

Views and Interviews.

How are You Mr.. Staggers," said
a New DOMINION reporter to Mr.. T..
H. B. Staggers ON Saturday last.
"How about this report that you
are a candidate for Congress?"
81 can't afford to run for Congress.
1t takes too much money; and be-
sides that my law practice takes all
my time"
81 have heard from several quar-
tiers that some of your friends will
urge your candidacy. How is it?'
said the scribe.
Il will tell you confidentially that
l have received letters from several
points in the district urging me to
come out, but l have not con
sented."
The Counsellor evidently did not
want to talk further about it, so we
babe him good morning.

REGISTERED LETTERS STOLEN
Within the last few days two regis
tered letters have been stolen from
the postoffice in this place. The
first one contained only $500, which
amount was promptly made good by
Mr.. Dering. The second however
was much more serious loss as il
contained $S5, in money and two
checks amounting to $ls-$l03 in all.
The work was evidently done by
some sneak thief who was familiar
with the place and knew just when
to strike. 1t is some consolation
however to know that there is clue
that may lead to the detection OF
the thief and the recovery of the
money
