An Ugly Fight.

Two or three residents of Morgan
county tell of terrific fight they
recently witnessed between a large
turkey buzzard and a huge rattle
snake. Twice was the serpent car
ried aloft and as often was the
fowl compelled to drop it. The
third ascent killed the snake. The
fight is said to have been a horri-
bly, fascinating sight Weston Re

1t Wasn't Singing-It Wasn't
WOrship-What was it!
Mr.. Potts Hears Something that
Puzzles Him.

| U%Htoo dtH6.
The following characteristic letter
from our old friend, Mr.. J. N. Potts
of Huntington, we clip from the
excellent paper named:
Editor Journal and Messenger:
1 was in strange city last Sun
day, and had the pleasure of hear
ing the gospel faithfully preached,
morning and evening. But | was
immoderately tormented by a
performance called "voluntary."
Since we had to endure it, | was
glad it was voluntary, [ should not
have felt at ease with church
that would require or call for such
thing. There were really two of
them. The one before the morning
service was masculine and indescri-
bable; the one before the evening
service was feminine, but none the
less hard to describe. Nevertheless,
| want to say few things about
it.
The organ began to play, and
young lady, very well dressed,
stood up and began to make un-
earthly sounds. The congregation
stared, looked amazed and COM
passionate, just like they were
willing to do anything in the
world if they only knew what the
young lady wanted. Sometimes
her voice would tremble and her
eyes would roll but before any one
had time to dash cold water in her
face-under the impression that
she was about to faint-she would
nerve up and take kind of spasm,
and shrek so loud-yes, SO loud
that -! This is a part of it that
battles description, Having an
inquiring and somewhat analytical
turn Of mind, |, as soon as | had in
some measure recovered, began
trying to find out what the thing
was composed Of. l listened sharp
ly to seo if she articulated any
words; and finally, just as she was
about to shrek, l thought I heard
her say "you." If she did say
"you," and meant me, she never
made bigger mistake in her life.
She, however, may not have said
it. 1t would be OF no advantage to
me, nor have I any desire, to mis-
represent what she said. We were
holding our breath, and she may
only. have been catching at hers,
and Involuntary said ugh y
She sat down. But who can tell
what we had listened to? 1t wasn't
singing, 1t wasn't worship; and
she evidently did not intend it for
amusement. Pm sure | don't know
what it was, unless, perhaps, it
was intended for penance for the
congregation.
Such things may be fashion
able. If so, [ am sure any
intelligent, worshipping congre-
CATION would be thankful if fashion
would require that this part be
rendered before the people assem-
bled.
When will somebody from the
pulpit, or through the colunns of
the j. and d., say to the church
choirs that the people are sick and
tired of such torture? If somebody
don't, I'll speak of it myself.
There is nothing nicer or more
appropriate than for the choir, or
congregation, to sing a voluntary
something that is an intelligent
part of the worship-something
that IS praise to God. But for one
person to get up before a helpless
congregation and screech and bawl
and make unheard of sounds, it
really seems to me that such a one
ought to be arrested for disturbing
a religious meeting.

4 Powerful Weapon.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. At is now
positively known that VIM. Cramp
& Sons have made arrangements to
construct dynamite gun cruiser for
the government which will-be capa-
BILE Of running 20knots an hour and
of firing a 200 pound dynamite shell
every two minutes. The vessel is to
cost not more than $350,000, but
should it fail to meet the require
ments of the contract when finished
the contractors must refund the
amount expended by the government
1t is said that on account of this re.
quirement the contract has gone
begging for six months past.
The dynamite projectile to be us
ed is thrown from long steel tube.
BY means of the sudden release of
compressed air being admitted there
is no shock but an immense velocity
is attained before the shell leaves
the muzzle, and at range Of two
miles the accuracy of the gun is sait
tos,be remarkable. The cartridge
consists of a thin copper can of the
diameter of the bore of the gun, con
taining zoe pounds of dynamite, and
attached to it long wooden shaft
which steadies the fight of the shell
as the stick does that Of rocket.

to the general enjoyment. Every
thing was conducted with order and
enthusiasm.

Rheumatism

IL Is an established fact that Hoods Sar.
saparilla has proven an invaluable remedy
in many severe cases of rheumatism, effect.
ing remarkable cures by its powerful action
in correcting the acidity of the blood, which
is the cause of the disease, and purifying
and enriching the vital fluid.
IT is certainly fair to assume that what
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done for others 1t
win do for you. Therefore, if you suffer
the pains and aches of rheumatism, give
this potent remedy a fair trial.
A Positive Cure.
"I was troubled very much with rheuma-
tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. 1
could hardly walk, and was confined to my
bed good deal of the time. Being rec

look four bottles and am perfectly well.
I cheerfully recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla
= one of the best blood purifiers in the
zsrid" W. F. WOOD, Bloomington, Ill.

Burned to Death.

About Z o'clock Sunday evening a
little S-year old daughter of man
named Kemple, who lives about two
miles below Benwood, near McMech-
ems was burned to death. The fam
lily left home some time during the
day, leaving the child alone in the
house. As dusk approached. the
child started to light a fire in the
stove, and to make it ignite quickly
she started to pour kerosene upon
the wood. In some manner the oil
caught fire and exploded, igniting
the clothing of the girl, and burning
her so badly that she died about
midnight the same night, after suf-
fering great agony.-Belaire Trib-
