A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Mrs. L. $. Arnett Accidentally Shot Herself
the Left Arm, Which Had TO be Amputated

j Mrs. L. s. Arnett Accidentally Shot Herself in
! the Left Arm, W hich Had TO be Amputated.
| One of the most distressing accidents,
not to be fatal of those that have occurred
/ in this city for long time, happened yes
terday morning between and O'Clock at
the residence of Mr.. Levi 5. Arnett a we'll
known stock man. who lives at ll04 South
Emporia avenue. The accident consisted
in Mrs. Arnett's accidentally discharglng
revolver, the ball passing through the
left arm and SCATTERING the bone, which
had to be amputated.
The circumstances of the unfortunate
affair were as follows: Shortly before
the time mentioned Mr.. Arnett re
turned home in his buggy. after hav-
ing been out to look after some cattle.
He unhitched and put his horse away and
came UP town. As it was warm ne left
his coat lying upon the buggy seat. Mrs.
Arnett went out into the yard and took
the coat from the buggy seat. She then
concluded to back the buggy into the car
rage house and with the coat hanging
over her arm took hold of the buggy
shafts and began backing. In some I'M
accountable manner the point of one of
a revolver which Mr.. Arnett had left in
his pocket. having taGen 1t out with him
as he had gone away at very early hour.
The weapon was discharged and the ball,
forty-five calibre, entered the front of the
left arm above the elbow and just below
the bicepts muscle, passing through in an
upward course and coming out at
the back of the arm about seven
inches higher than it penetrated.
In passing through the arm no artery
was served, but the bone, for about five
inches was so completely shattered that it
was deemed impossible TO reset the arm
and make it shorter.
As soon as the accident occurred Mrs.
Arnett was taken into the house and Drs.
Tilden and Hays, the family physicians,
sent for. Dr. Tilden was not in, but DR..
Hays and Dr. J. D. Van Mugs hurried to
the house, where they were followed soon
by DR.. Tilden.
An examination and consultation re-
suited in unanimous opinion that the
member must be taken Oft.
Accordingly chloroform was ad-
minister and the operation was soon sue
cessfully completed. The patient soon re-
covered nicely from the effects of the OPP
Grafton and the chloroform and experienced
no more pain than is usual in such opera
tons.
Although lady of slight physique, the
patient is doing splendidly. She is only
about 80 years old. in sound health and
will. her surgeons predict, have no trouble
whatever. The many friends of both Mrs.
Arnett and her husband, while they regret
very much to learn of her misfortune, feel
a certain sense of relief TO know that the
accident was not more dangerous and that
she is progressing so well under the cir

WHO GETS THE CREDIT?

After a general admission that the rain
of night before last did an immence
amount of good, now come those who
claim the credit Of bringing the same. o.
c. Daisy says he brought it from the noun
tains, and that he hadn't been in the city
an hour Friday morning until he bet
twenty dollars it would rain before {
o'clock next morning and won the bet.
But now comes Officer Joe Stewart who
deposeth and saith that on Thursday even
ing he requested his friends of the Saliva
ton Army 10 pray for rain, and that trey
unanimously assented with an AYE Lord,
and we will.' And Joe says they did pray
and prayed hard. Now arises the question
of, to whom is due the credit FOR the rain
Is it due 10 the efforts OF the Salvation
Army, the righteous, whose prayers avail
ed much, or TO Officer Stewart, through
whose instance those efHcacious prayers
were offered ups

NEW BUILDING ASSOCIATION.
The Anchor Building and Loan Association
With 8, 600, 600 Capital Stock.

| The board of directors for the Ancho'
Building and Loan association. of this
city was organized last night by electing
Col H. W. Lewis, president; J. W. Coui-
son ce-president; a. B. Jackson secretary
NJ. c. Cooke treasurer and g. S. Wilson
attorney.
| This company is organized on the most
liberal terms Of any company in the state.
Among It's distinctive features are, the
borrower gets every ceut he buys and has
eight years in which TO pay his premiums;
at the end of each year the borrowers note
Is credited with the amount OF dues paid
and the dividend declared and his interest
stops on the amount credited TO him, so
that the cost Of his loan decreases each
year; the borrower has the privilege OF
paying off his loan at any time
Any one desiring to withdraw can do so
by giving notice TO the company, and he
receives all the money he has paid IN with
the dividends that have been declared.
Holders of paid up stock receive their dl-
vidends in cash,
The capital stock of the company is
81, 900, coo. divided into five thousand shares
of two hundred dollars each. The weekly
dues on each share are twenty-five cents,
being less to the hundred dollars than any
company in the city. The Office OF the
company is at room 2, 253 North Main ST.
The company has already in prospect the
erection OF large number OF very nice
residences in different parts of the city,
and Will proceed to business immediately
and help to build up the city.
The well known business and financial
ability of the officers elected, together
with the very liberal terms of lending
money, will recommend the association to
investor and borrower alike

LIVELY SESSIONS.

The city headquarters promises TO be
brim full Of enthusiasm tomorrow night.
The very dignified council will occupy its
usual place, and quite probably the city
school board will hold down the city
clerk office, provided the city officers ac-
customed TO stay there are favorable with
risking their official waste baskets with
the school board end of the city govern
ment.
It is some how believed that mucL of
the talk about dynamite and SO forth at
the school board meeting is somewhat
overdrawn, but that there will be some
fun either of high or low order seems
quite probable. The routine work of the
board is of more than usual interest.
The city council hopes to hear the amen
to the revising ordinance racket which is
pronounced to be plague of dark color.
This it is thought will give room for some
other business.

LAW DEPARTMENT.
GARFIELD University Faculty Course OF Study
and Prospects.

During the vacation one of the speciai
features given attention by the manage
ment of the Garfield University is the law
department. The first years work of the
institution resulted in making 1t quite
evident that no other department outside
the regular academic course was probably
in so urgent demand. The applications
for instructions in this line was one OF the
leading evidences that such department. is
needed, and in order to meet the wants OF
the people the institution could not fail to
respond to the demands. As result law
faculty has been fully organized, appoint
ments made, and a two years course Of
study mapped out, embraced in the junior
and senior years.
The faculty as finally determined upon
is as follows:
II. w. Everest, a. NJ, L. L. D., Chancel-
lor-Political Economy.
Judge Christopher Reed, A. NJ, L. L. B..
Dean-The Law of Evidence.
Judge Henry c. Sluss-Negotiable In
struments and Agency.
Judge Thomas B. WalI-Equity Juris-
prudence and Equity Pleadings and
Practice
Judge Charles H Chitty-Pleadincs
and Practice.
James L. Dyer, a. Unconstitutional
Law.
Rodolph Hatfield. Phi. B.-The Law Of
Corporations.
Robert A. Sankey, a. M-Real and Per-
sonal Property
Richard A Haste, B. S.-American
Jurisprudence.
Thomas C. Wilson, a. NJ, L. l.. B.
Contracts, Wills and Administration.
George II. Laughlin, a. NJ, L. L. D.
International Law.
The course of study for the first year is
as follows: First and second terms, Black
stones commentaries; Walkers American.
law; Stephens evidence; Gould's pleading.
Third and fourth terms, Blackstones
Commentaries; Bishop on contracts; Cody
on torts: Bispham on principles OF equity.
For the second year
SENIOR YEAR.
First and second terms, Kent's common
taries; Greenleaf on evidence; Tiedman on
real property; Pomroy's remedies. Third
and fourth terms, kent's Commentaries;
Greenleaf on evidence; Bishop on criminal
law; Kansas code and practice.
As Will be seen the faculty is composed
of gentlemen who have long since been
introduced to the people Of the
state and whose abilities are
recognized by the people. l he
various lectures promise TO be of more
than usual interest and the demands for a
law school in the southwest supplied. The
course of study IS prepared has been quite
favorably commented on by the members
of the bar, and is said to be quite as extern
sve as can be found in older and long es-
tablished universities.
Already the department is assured the
junior class will be composed of over
thirty mem bers. This, it is thought, will
be greatly increased by the opening Of the
university on the 4th of next month.

By Thee would l accepted be,
O, Lord, most holy and most pure!
What to Thy altar can l bring
That me Thy favor will secure?
Thy chosen Israel came to Thee
With blood of beasts, sins 20 atone;
In whole burnt offerings, all consumed,
Themselves devoted, Thou didst own.
No longer Thou with sacrifice
Art pleased with an approach to Thee.
An Offering of greater price
Must purchase life and peace for me.
Yet poor and wretched; needy me,
With sin and guilt ali covered DER,
So destitute that naught have
To bring with me. the Lord before.
Where, there, can an offering find,
To cover all my sin and guilt?
\ sacrifice that hath the worth,
To purchase me the heavenly gift.
Thou dids't for me who am so poor
An offering rich in love provide.
Thine own dear Son most freely gave,
And He for me hast humbly died.
This, then, my sacrifice shall be,
The Lamb of God who died for me,
And He alone shall be my trust,
For nothing else ayails with Thee.
Dear Lord, may not then look up
To Thee, ana see my sins forgiven,
For His dear sake? My guilt washed way
In precious blood by Jesus given?
But now since Thou hast thus atoned
For all my sins in Thy rich grace,
Since Thou for me Thyself dids't give,
And died the death of deep disgrace.

My body. mind, my heart my all,
A living sacrifice to God,
To serve wherever he may call.
But On my service and my life,
So weak, imperfect end SO frail,
In plying grace, o Christ, look down.
Help me, or at last shall fail.
Send thy free spirit into my heart,
To strengthen, consecrate and cleanse;
To teach me thy most holy way
And lead me safely TO the end.
Thus guided, Lord, by Thee Alright,
And evermore from sin kept free,
I, in Thy perfect righteousness,
