He had just come from the famous slate

YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN CLUB.
Noble Prentis Invited to Lecture Before the
Club-Interesting Debate and General
Discussion.

The Young Mems Republican club held
its regular meeting last evening at the
court room. 1t was unanimously decided
to invite Mr.. Noble Prentis of the Newton
Republican, to address the club at the
earliest time convenient for himself. He
will be notified in few days and it is
hoped, not only by every member of the
club, but by citizens generally, that he
will accept the invitation.
The debaters for the evening were Arm.
strong and Sargent; Humphrey and Gala
han. The question, Would the repeal OF
internal revenue laws better the condition
of the wage earners!' The affirmative
was most conspicuous by its absence and
Henly and Wilson appointed to fill va.
cancies.
The debaters presented the facts and drew
conclusions from the same in very credit
able manner. Following their efforts
Farmer Doolittle, who honOred the club
with his presence. was called upon and
treated the question in very quiet but
earnest and logical way. He was followed
by number of other members OF the
club, which placed the general discussion
from point of interest far above that ever
before enjoyed by the club.
The affirmative referred to the surplus
in the treasury, the per cent of the same
put there by internal revenues. 1t being a
direct tax there could be no reason
for collecting it except for
use. As il was not needed it
is not well from a financial point to collect
it. The amount coming from the wage
earners left with them would certainly
benefit them financially. AS to the moral
part of it they argued that no one who
wanted a drink thought for moment that
he was getting nine cents worth of tax
and one cent worth of whisky. The same
is true of cigars in a proportion. The
change in the use of each had been brought
about by an argument other than the
financial part of it. Or ii other words
the cheapening OF it would not have a
tendency TO cause more of it 10 bs used.
The negative took the position that
that the monies from the various sources
going 10 the national treasury can be Judi
ciaIly spent in public Improvements and
as the country as a whole Is benefited the
wage Garner shares in the good accTuing
As 10 the moral feature they thought il
would be injurious to cheaper them

LOST AND FOUND.

| Yesterday forenoon DIR. Guyton and VIII
| Cotter, of Cotter Brothers restaurant
drove out to the slough to hunt. Alight
| ing from their vehicle they hitched the
horse to the fence along the roadside and
went across the field for sport.
They had been so engaged but short
time when DR.. Guyton noticed that his
rig had disappeared and called the atten-
ton of his companion to the fact. About
the same time they glanced along the road
and saw man driving their horse at quite
good round pace across the bridge. Both
started In pursuit but they soon lost sight
of the rig. Stopping further along at a
farmers house they were informed
that man with a horse and
buggy answering the description OF
the lost one had just passed and was
driving the horse toward the northwest.
The Doctor hired a horse from the far
mer and kept up the chase; but at the end
of an hour returned and he and Mr.. Cot
ter were brought by the farmer to the city.
A fresh horse was secured and again the
Doctor started out in pursuit of his stolen
property The sheriff was also notified
and kilograms and cards sent out notified
the adjoining cities and towns of the theft
and asking for the arrest of the man and
the recovery of the property.
The Doctor and friend continued the
pursuit going as far, west as Colwich but
long before he had reached that place he
had lost the track OF the vehicle and re-
turned about 9 o'clock very much discour-
aged.
Imagine his surprise and pleas
ure, however, when he
drove up to the stable to be told that his
horse and buggy were safe within.
1t appears that gentleman of this city
going into the country saw the horse hitch
ed TO the fence and thinking that the out
fit might have been left there by thief
and seeing no one around, got into the
buggy and drove it few miles further to
attend to some business matters He then
turned around, came to the city and tax
ing the horse and buggy TO the sheriff's of
fee, turned it over to him to be delivered
to the owner.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Little Claude Benton has Both Eyes Blown ou
by Revolver in the Hand of his Brother.

Last evening about o'clock most dis
tressing accident occurred at No. 1I25
North Ohio avenue; and one that will re-
suit in the loss of the eyesight, If not the
death, of little Claud Benton, two-year-old
son of James Benton.
Mr.. Benton has for several nights past
heard persons walking around his house
at night and thinking that they might be
burglars had gotten revolver. He loaded
it with blank cartridge, believing that
this would brighten any one bold enough
to attempt to effect an entrance. This fire
arm he had left the night
before under the pillow in his sleeping
room.
His two BOYS, one four years of age and
the other two, went into this room to play
and in some way found this revolver. 1t
is not definitely known, as the two little
fellows were by themselves, what they did
do; but in a few minutes after they had
entered the room the father was Mortified
to hear the report of the revolver and
screams of pain from the younger, Claude.
He rushed into the room, saw the sad
plight of the boy and Immediately sent for
DR.. Stoner.
DR.. Minnick soon arrived. The injured
child was suffering intense pain, the whole
of the DISCHARGE OF the blank cartridge
had entered his face, mangling and black
ening and tearing out both eyes. Every
thing possible was done to alleviate the
suffering but the attending physicians fear
the outcome of the accident.
Mr.. Benton says that misfortune appears
to hover over his home. But short time
ago his wife died leaving him the charge
of six small children; and added to the
loss of wife comes this sad and distress
ing accident
