KILLED A DEER.

Lawyer p. j. Crogan is the proud
est man in town just now. He has
actually killed fino deer, all by
himself, to the best Of our knowl-
edge and belief, although We are
not furnishing any affidayits in re-
gard to the aforesaid slaughter.
Mr.. Crogan, w. G.. Brown, John
Mcdonald, Mira. Crogan and Miss
Titia Parks, were a gay party that
left Kingwood, about ten days ago,
for drive ac:oss the country to
Petersburg, Grant county, They
had double team and one saddle
horse, which the men took turns in
riding. They were heavily armed
for bear, deer, highwaymen or any
thing that crossed thor trail. They
had a pleasant trip, but killed no
large game until on the road home,
when they struck a deer, ana jun
Tor" and Crogan followed him with
their artillery. They had almost
given it up, when the latter spied
the deer IN the bush at fair range.
Crogan could only see its head,
which was turned to one side, and
the deer was scratching its head
with one hiud foot. The wind WAS
blowing right from the deer, so that
1t did not scent danger, and If it
saw Crogan, it showed a reckless
disregard Of the result. But acct
dents will happen to the best of
men, and Crogan banged away and
the deer Caught it in the neck"
and straightway expired. They
hauled 1t to tho nearest farm house
and drossod it and brought home
the hide and headquarters, arriving
in Kingwood Saturday evening. 1t
is said that Orc gan will have the
hide dressed and mounted as his
first and, perhaps, last deer. There
are people in town mean enough to
insinuate that the deer was bought
Of some old hunter, but We de-
nounce this a base and scandalous
fabrication

A cold frosty morning with
clearing conditions" over the
eastern part of the contiacnt will
usher in November. At the same
time it will be growing warmer with
falling barometer in che west and
north. The 3rd is the central day
Of the frat storm period hut the
new moon on tho Ist is almost sure
to precipItatS the disturbances, so
that By the 4th, storms OF rain and
snow, with some heavy gales, will
have well spent their force. and u
very sharp cold wave will have
spread over the western parts Of the
continent. The marked tendency
to earthquakes prevailing through
out the autumnaI equinOctial period
will he intensified about the Ist to
Bird. Frosty weather with ice
northward will prevail up to the
9th, and 10th, at which time the
temperature will rise, and reaction
airy storms will result. all to be
followed by another prompt and
sharp cold wave.
The 18th is the central cay of
the next regular storm period. On
the evening of the same day the
moon reaches its full and will be
to'ally eclipsed. Careful observa-
tions with scientific instruments
will show an intensified end per-
, tarbed state Of terrestrial mngnet-
ism about the time OF th3 eclipse,
and within 40 hours OF 6 p. m. on
the 18th violent atmospheric dis
turbances, rain and snow, with
tendencies to marked earth-tremors
will result. Let all keep critical
local watch, and wait for telegraph
ic reports a cold wave with free
Ting weather will follow after this
period up to the 2lst and 22nd.
About these dates the regular warm
wave with ram and snow will pa S
from west to east, and be followed
in regular order by cold, clearing
weather up TO the last Novombcr
| period.
The Goth is the central day Of the
last monthly storm period. About
that date a warm wave with falling
barometer and storms Of rain aud
snow will be on their way from the
northwestern parts OF the continent.
BY the Goth, storms will have
cleared the continent, and B0reas
with bis frost crown will reign.
Look for cold Weafher the last days
Of the month. Navigation on our
lakes during November will be
doubtful and dangerous, and I'll

The situation in Ohio is very an
certain. The Republicans have had
more money and speakers than the
Democrats, ne usual. The eyes Of
the whole country are on the Buck
eye State and the g. 0. p. cannot
afford to have Mckinley beaten, no
difference what II costs 90 elect him.
They are raking the earth and rails
ing Uades to elect him. We have
no doubt but that they could get
enough below 20 elect Mckinley by
an overwhelming majority, but the
Australian ballot system cuts those
fellows out.
