ton, young man living near Haydentown.
this county, fatally shot his five-year-old
brother yesterday by carelessly handling a
revolver. He was cleaning the weapon and
was pointing it at his brother and swapping
it, when it went of, the bullet lodging in

A peculiar thing about the circumstance is
that the wounded child Was named after
Jesse James, the famous outlaw, and the
young man thinking the pistol was not
loaded was playing killing Jesse James.

Six Years for Presidents.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2s.-The sub
committee Of the committee on elections has
favorably reported the bill prolonging the
six years, and making the former ineligible
to a second term. The same bill extends the
term Of a Representative. to three years.
The reason assigned by the Committee for
making these recommendations are thar
vast deal Of time and money are wasted in
electing Presidents, and Representatives have
so short a term that their knowledge of the
National needs amounts TO very little if they
serve only two years

The Pittsburgh Post has this 10 say in
Mondays issue:
The letter of the elder Mr.. Blaine is OF
course q document Of extraordinary interest,
but it is also remarkable in that it is probab-
ly the first time in the history of the country
that public man of the eminence of Mr..
Blaine has had the courage TO let the people
of the whole nation, and indeed Of the world
into the details of an episode in the domestic
affairs Of his family. Il is likely his silence
would not have been broken in any event
but for the breezy criticism made of the
elder Ms. Blaine by the South Dakota Judge
when be gave the younger women her
divorce decree. The old man made quite a
liberal offer to provide house, fuel, light,
man-servant or carriage, and $500 year,
for the young couple until the husband
should be able to earn that himself He
seems TO have been disposed to make the
best Of what be regarded as a bad bargain
and the young woman was foolish that she
did not accept the offer. She had worked
her cards to get into the Blaine family with
most extraordinary shrewdness and audacity
but once in her cunning seemed to leave
her.

There was blizzard in the North
west last week with the usual cas-
ualties. The reason why these
storms are so much dreaded in new
countries is because settlements
are sparse and there are no fences
along the roads. In old settled prai
rie countries, when traveller is
caught out in one he can easily
find place of refuge, and go while
billiards. occur in the older prairie
States there is seldom any loss of
life.
