A Compromise.

The City Council and Beard Electric Light
Company got together" Wednesday, after
the town had experienced one night of Egyp-
tian darkness, and the result was compro
mise wherein both parties showed good dis
erection and judgment. The substance of
this agreement was that, in regard to price
the difference should be "split' thus giving
the company $112.50 for each light during
the next two months.
At the end of that time a new contract will
be made, wherein the company will doubt
less get more lights and less of price, and
that better satisfaction and less kicking will
follow is the prayer of all good citizens.

THE DEADLY FLOBERT
Young WGiSbaCk Receives One
For a Christmas Present
and Accidentally Kills
EdW. Shelf,
A Curse That should be Seized on
by the Law.

Ayoung son of Prof. Weisbach received q
iobert gun from his father for Christmas
present Like all other youths he was over
joyed at the gift and anxious that all of his
chums and acquaintance should see and en-
joy it.
Sunday afternoon he called Edward Shelf
aged about l3, son of John Shelf, who is a
neighbor, over in his yard to zee the gun,
rushing in the house to get it.
While in the house he loaded it and re-
turned with it cooked
As he approached young Shelf the gun was
accidentally discharged, the ball striking him
near the temple. 1t penetrated the skull and
coursing through the head, lodged in the
brain.
Young Weisback, it is needless TO say, was
struck dumb with terror at his rash act but
quickly recovering himself ran for medical
aid. He succeeded after some time in find
ing Doctor Powell who, after an examina-
| ton, pronounced the wound fatal one. as it
so proved. the unfortunate boy dying an
hour later.
The deceased seems to have been fated to
sunef ueatn Dy nre arms, several umes be
fore in his life having had narrow escapes
from death. A year ago while with other
boys he was playing with small improvised
cannon, it exploded. nearly blowing his
face off.
While young Weisbach should in ameasure
be free from censure, the authorities are at
fault for permitting the deadly fobert to be
used by our young people. Every tlobert gun
within the corporation should be confiscated
and severe punishment inflicted upon
the possessors. 1t is next to the deadly
cigarette in fatality.
The community offers coincidence to Mr..
and Mrs. John Shelf in this their great
misfortune.
The funeral was held Wednesday morning
from the Presbyterian chn49h, Rev. Dona-
hey in charge of the ceremonies.

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
Two Occasions That Are Universally

Christmas ana New 1ear
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as a means OF
measuring time; the one, the
birthday of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est ndioy attendant to their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways on the increase. In A
merica, where civilization has
reached it's acme, where all is
being got out of life that is
sin it,, these great days re-
ceive due respect in many dit
ferent ways, more marked in
cities than in a town like Ma
poIeon. For instance, in Gin
cinnati last year the Clncinna-
tt PosT assisted by the good
citizens Of the Queen City, as
sembled together fully 5000
fatherless and penniless waits

ing them d good supper, sent

present and a bag of sweet
meats. christmas is a day.

"when both rich and poor
should take comfort in max

was their way in so doing
Napoleon is not opo-

are few in numbers, yet there
are ways of making each other
happy. With this end in view

preparations to place it with

The Majesty of American Law.

all w BfL IlmeS.I
In the preliminary hearing of Sheriff
elect Staley, of Paulding county, who
is sued by one Catharine Hoff for
seduction under promise of marriage,
the majesty as we'll as the beauty of
American law was gloriously demon
strated, 1t was held by the examin.
ing court that the plaintiff should not
be allowed to prove She Ilegatiers set
forth in ner complaint because the
prosecution failed to show that the
defendant was male. In other words,
unless it be solemnly declared and be
made to positively appear that mid
die aged man is a male, the presump-
ton of the law is that he is female.
Now it is proper enough to evade an
inquiry into the merits of case by a
strict adherence to legal maxirns, but
think of the mortifying confusion into
which the minds of PauIding county
voters are thus thrown when they
begin to realize that possibly a female
man has been elected Sheriff. Who
will say that the law is not the con.
densed product of the wisdom of ages
when its Interpreter in the twinkling
of an eye can render doubtful what
the whole considers absolutely
certain.

One of the Bishops of the Episcopal
church, Wishing to retain some of its
old customs among his people, intro
duced the quaint greeting of the
Easter Season. One friend meeting
another says, "The Lord has risen"
The other replies, "He has risen in

gregation adopted this form, and
among them a certain young lady,
devout and holy as saint. On Easter
morning, meeting friend, young
man, presumably one of the Bishops
flock, though by reputation not much
of a churchman, she said. to him,
1.-The Lord has risen" The gel tleman
stared bIankly for moment and then
replied hopefully, "Oh! really?" The
next moment, turning the corner, he
met the Bishop. With pleasant
smile the old gentleman said, 1.-THE
Lord has risen.n
This time, our friend, feeling that
something unusual was up, and not
liking to be thought ignorant of the
fact, replied knowingly, Eyes, Miss
Smith was just telling me-" The

were discovered in the townsite pros
pectors have pushed their researches
out on the reservation and have been
well rewarded. OF course they are
trespassers and lay themselves liable
to prosecution. They seem willing
to run these risks, however, and have
brought to this city samples that are
immensely rich, some worth over
$500 per ton. Over forty claims
have been located.
