On last Monday morning about 3
o'clock burglar was killed in Samp-
son county, y. c.. by Alice Kinney,
IS years old Miss kinney's father is
dead. and she lives alone with her
mother on farm. The two are the
only persons who sleep in the old

Kinney was aroused by the noise of
some one in an adjoining room. She
at once realized that burglar was i'll
the house Under her pillow was a
revolver. The young woman took
the pistol M her hand and concealed
it under the quilt. Then she lay as
if asleep, and when the burglar en-
tered the room he walked up to the
bed and concluding that the young
woman was sleeping soundly began
to look about the room. He wore a
mask and carried u pistol in his
hand. As he turned his head away
from her she heard him whisper to
himself: she is pretty, and guess I'll
hab ter see her later He went to
the bureau and began to go through
the drawers. The bureau was directly
in front of the bed, and when he
turned his face, Miss Kinney quietly
raised in the bed, took aim at the
mans head. and fired. Instantly the
burglar whir!ed around, and as he
did so she again fired, and then he
fell to the floor with a groan. With
the smoking pistol in hand she
watched about five minutes, when he
died. Then the alarm was given and
a crowd gathered at the house. The
burglar proved TO be Sam Kerns, a
negro who has given much trouble.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that we can not cure by taxi

A WHO the -Wisp.

4 Michigan City lnd.) dispatch 10
the Chicago Tribune says "A strange
apparition in the shape on a queer
lint has been seen number oil times
near Waterford, a small village OF
this equity. Six months ago Charles
and Henry Powell were walkingalong
the roadway in the vicinity OF Water
ford and were the first to see 1t. Inc
light seemed TO fit along the road ana
rise high in the air, and although the
Inen tried to overtake it they were
unsuccessful. John Pattee. pros
porous farmer, resides in the vicinity
of the Powell brothers. and has seen
the light on two different occasions.
A few nights ago the light appeared
near his house between nine ana ten
O'Clock. and when Mrs. Pattee looked
out OF the window she was startled
by its appearance but few yards
from the house The lady called her
husband to the window. and for hall
an hour they watched its movements.
When near it appeared to be a loco,
motive headlight At times it would
be near the ground, then suddenly
shoot upward higher than the tree
tops and sail around over the nelds IN
a circling manner. Saturday nlght
at a late hour Mr.. Pattee happened
TO look out Of the window and again
saw the light, which performed the
same movements that it did on the
former occasion. Although the par
ties who have seen the light are not
superstitious, its appearance is mys-
terry which they cannot solve"

THE Postmaster-Genera has recent
ly been contemplating trip through
the South, but it is now stated that
he has given up the plan for fear he
would not be treated kindly by the
people of that section. We think
Mr.. Wanamaker need have no fear Of
making his trip if he really wants to.
While it is true that the Southern
people would not fall over themselves
to do him homage, he would at the
same time be allowed all the privi-
leges and protection that any other
person would have. 1t might be
well for him, however, not to stop
.ong in the towns upon which he has
inflicted negro postmasters.
