WEATHERFoRD, Tex, Dec. 25.--A ter
rlble gloom was cast over our city this
evening shortly after dark when the news
was scattered that MIR. w. j. Eddleman
vas accidentally shot seriously, If not
fatally. The shocking accident occurred
two miles from the city on the Lipan
road. The facts as learned from Mr..
Con d. Hartnett, who was with him at
the time, are that Mr.. Eddlemau, Mr..
A. ID. Oliver and Mr. Hartnett went out
this evening quail shooting and Just be-
fore shutdown they had started home, and
Mr., Oliver, our depot agent, thinking he
would be late for the evening train lett
the hack in which they we're riding and
got in buggy with MrW. II. Eddleman,
brothe Of Mr.. w j Eddleman, and left
Mr.. Hsrtnett and w. to take their
leisure in coming home. When within two
miles Of town their dog came to point,
and Mr.. Hartnett aud Mr.. Eddleman both
told little Willie Maddox, who was
driving for them, to stop, and he threw
his foot against the brake, ana Mr.. Eddie
mans gun was discharged. Mr.. Hart
nett, thinking Mr.. Eddleman
had shot ut the BIRDS, did
not turn Immediately to see what he had
shot, but soon turned, to his astnnish-
ment to see Mr.. Eddlem4n had fallen
over, and was perfectly insepslble. MIR.
Hartoett had the hack driven to house
short distance away, and obtained as
sistance TO help him 60 town with Mr..
Eddleman. Mr.. IIartnett says the
last time he noticed the position
OF Mr. Eddlewan he was holding the muz.
zle II the gun in his hand with the breech
on the bottom Of the hack, and 1t is hard
TO sly just how the gun was discharged,
as he was sitting on the front seat with
the driver and MIR. Eddleman
was alone on the back seat
When brought to town Drs. Mackenzie
and Milliken were cIlled and found that
the entire charge of bird shot had lodged
ia the brain, br, aking the skull Just above
the ear, and that the brain was oozlug
out. The doctors say that there Is no
hopes for his recovery. Mr.. Eddleman is
widely known in this and the west
ern country, as he was one
of the first settlers Of this
place and his death would be great loss
TO this city, as no man in Weptherford
ever had more friends than Mr. Il idleman
who are in deep sympathy with his wife
and four children.

Gathering Apples i'm Michigan.


The larger part Of the apples to
be consumed in Omaha this year
have been brought from Southern
Michigan. The Western States have
added some to the supply, but Mich
igan has taken the lead, but even
the Michigan apples will be scarcer
than usual. 4 heavy wind storm
some time ago DESTROYED fully one
third Of the crop there, and many
barrels Of those which were saved
are being sent to the East and also
abroad. The plan followed in get
ting the fruit into the market here
is thus outlined by packer:
A man goes into an orchard and
buys by the barrel all the choice
fruit. The farmer is to pick it by
hand and deliver it to the barrelers
The buyer hires professional pack
ers, and, if he is & very careful man,
he oversees the packing himself
It is only by such care as this that
the apples are got to this market in
good keeping condition. Baldwins,
Northern Spys and Greetings are
the kind mostly brought in. This
year the fruit is not going to keep
rs well as it did last The Bald
win is taking the lead in quality,
for keeping powers and for quanti-
ty.
1t is estimated that 200 cars, av-
eraging 1870 barrels to the car. have
already been received here from
Michigan and the States around
here. 1t is feared that, owing to
the way the fruit is decaying, the
price will be much higher than 81
80 per barrel by the first of Janu-
ary-Cmahd U'orid.

Grnamenting the Christmas Tree.

Last year in many cities and towns
there appeared in certain churches
and halls Christmss-trees of mar
yelous beauty. The tips of the green
boGghs were glittcring with crystals,
and reflected the light inmany beau
tiful colors. Some of these trees, in
addition to the crystals, seemed Ia
den with golden fruit, like an orange
tree in an untimely frost or snow
storm. Other trees were ornament
ed with hand-painted flags, Of ell
nations.
The method OF covering green
twigs with crystals is a very simple
and Inexpensive one. Put into a
bucket pound or more OF alum. md
pour a gallon or more of boiling wa
ter upon it. Place the tree in such
a position that the tips Of the bough
may remain in the solution for some
hours, perhaps over night. Repeat
the process until as many houghs
are tipped with crystals as will
make the tree very beautiful; or cut
the twigs, crystalizc them, and fix
them again on the houghs.
The golden fruit is simply made
by gliding English walnuts. Ham
mer long tack into the end of the
walnut by which to suspend it after
gliding. Wash the nut with the
white of an egg with q feather.
Then roll it in gold leaf, or powder,
until it is well gildcd. Or cover it
with tin foil or imitation of gold
leaf, as the real gold leaf is some
what expensive.
Acted charades are popular as di
versions, after the distribution of
the Christmas presents. The popu-
lar word in England of late for an
elaborate acted charade is Counter
charm COUNT (crr) (charm) the
whole ending with an Oriental scene
of charm and counter-charm.

1t was indeed his father. And
what a happy ending to a mournful
Christmas Eve! For Robert Win
ston. after fifteen years exile on a
desert island, had returned a rich
man, and the old musician never
wanted friends more.
So courtesy, friendship, and sac
riiice to art were richly rewarded as
the sweet bells rang out the glad
Christmas morn.
