A FATAL SHOT.
Special Correspondence 20 The Argus.
EGLoN. w. Va Rn,nt

EGLoN, w. Va, Sept. 1.
We learn to-day of a sad acct
dent that happened down on Horse
Shoe Run yesterday. The particu-
lars as near as we can get them, are
about as follows:
Mr.. Luther Knots of Lead Mine,
and Moses Lipscomb and son, boy
about ten years of age, were out on
the mountain hunting wild turkeys.
Neither party knowing Of the OF hers
presence in the woods. Mr.. Knots
took the turkey caller from his shot
pouch and began calling in imitation
OF the turkey in order to attract their
attention, if there was any in the
vicinity, as is customary with old
hunters. Mr.. Lipscomb and son,
sitting on a log at the time, heard
the call and thought there were
turkeys in the neighborhood. The
boy, telling his father to keep still,
went to look for the supposed tur-
key and answering the call with
another caller, Mr.. Knots hearing
the boy coming toward him in the
brush, had no thought but what it
was a fine large turkey, and imme-
diately upon catching sight of the
boys head, raised his gun and fred
the ball entering the boys neck on
the right side just below the ear,
passed through the body and came
out'about three inches below the
left arm, killing him instantly. The
body was buried to-day, Sunday, in
the cemetery at Location on stem
pie Ridge. This unfortunate acct
dent should be a warming to hunters
to be more careful and never shoot
in the dark or at any object unseen.

Laughter as a Health Promoter.

In this "Problem on Health. +"
DR.. Greene says that there is not
the remotest corner or little inlet of
the minute blood vessels Of the hu-
man body that does not feel some
wavelet from the commissions oc-
casioned by good hearty laughter.
The life principle, or the central
man, is shaken to It's innerinost
depths, sending new tides Of life
and strength to the surface, thus
materially tending to insure good
health to the persons who indulge
therein The blood moves more
rapidly, and conveysa different i'm
preston to all the organs Of the body
az it visits them on that particular
mystic journey when the man is
laughing, from what it does at other

Deafness Can't he Cnred

by local application, as they cannot reach tho
diseased portion OF the ear. There Is only one
way 10 cure deafness, and that is by constitu.

You have arumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when II Is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored TO It's normal condi-

but it is also fact that we have
colleges in our sister states where
our young men and women can have
all the advantages he spoke Of and

Obi Grafton n

The second game of base ball be-
tween the Grafton and Morgantown
clubs for two hundred dollars side
and the gate receipts was played at
Fairmont on Tuesday. The Rough
and Readys came off victorious as
usual, the score standing % to 81.
Those who witnessed the game tell
us it was a very snide game, and the
score would indicate as much. Those
who paid their money to see first
class game were very much disap-
pointed. The Preston county boys
who were present say tho Roughs
do not play with their old time vim
and dash. If the Roughs and Cres-
cents will pull themselves together
and agree to play the Cowhide
Boots n game before the season clo-
ses, we will guarantee the people
they will see a good article of base
ball. II the former clubs can play
no better ball than they did on
Tuesday, the Preston boys can shut
them out. What say you Morgan
town and Grafton. Will you give
.us a game f? Let us hear from you
gentlemen.

As announced in last weeks AR
Gus, Prof. Edgar g. Beall, of Cinci-
matt, Ohio, gave a lecture before
the teachers Instisute, in the court
house, last Thursday night. The
room was comfortably filed, the
audience being highly pleased with
his lecture on Phrenology. Prof.
Beall thoroughly understands phren-
ology, and denounces the theory Of
"bump-ology" as he called it. His
delineations are made on scientific
principles, it making no difference
with him whether the head has one
dump" OF a hundred. The Prof.
made many warm friends while here
and convinced many that the science
Of phrenology should be better un-
derstood. We hope Prof. Beall
viii come to Kingwood again. He
would receive a healthy welcome.
