Afar on the painless prairies

Afar on the painless prairies
The rarest Of flowers abound
And in the dark caves Of the valleys
There is wealth that will never be found
So there are sweet songs in the silence
That never will melt into sound.
The twilight illumines her banners
With colors no artist can teach;
And aloft in the sky there are sermons
Too mighty for mortals to preach
SO life has its lovely ideals
Too lofty for language to reach.
Afar on the sea there's music
That the shore never knows in its restt
And in the green depths of the forest
There are choirs that carol unblesti
So, deep in the heart there's q music
And a cadence that never expressed.

which he offers his professional
services to the people OF this com
munity. AS he is a stranger to
most of our people, we will say,
by way Of introduction, that he is
from Lebanon. a cousin of Gov.
J. Proctor Knott, and graduate
Of Central University at Rich,
mond, KY. He came to this city
with Messrs. Knott & Edelen,
under whom he took a law course,
and has just opened an office in
the Hume building. He is a
young man, full of energy and

BOILER PLATE
Causes a Newspaper to be Sued
for $4,000.

Last year the Evening Journal
Of this city was publishing Asso-
ciated Press dispatches which were
sent out by a house in Cincinnati
in stereotype plates, ready for use.
One day last October the Cincin-
natl house sent to the Journal a
lot Of plates in one Of which was a
dispatch from Philadelphia stating
that the Aucr Incandescent Light
Company had been robbed by
Tyndale Palmer, a former news
paper man, and hotel keeper in
Rio Janeiro, of $40. 900. The
publishers Of the Journal used
the plate and thought nothing
more Of it until Monday, when
Palmer filed suit in the franklin
Circuit Court against all three OF
the gentlemen interested in the
publication of the paper at the
time for $50, 900 damages, alleging
libel. While the action is not
causing any of the defendants to
lose sleep, still a law suit is not
a very handy thing to have around,
and newspaper men generally
should be warned and let "boiler
plate" severely alone, using only
home print.

Shocked the Neigllbors.

On Saturday night the insula-
ton on the electric light wire
which runs into the grocery Of Mr..
James Heeney became rubbed off,
letting a portion Of the current be-
come diverted into the iron work
Of the front of the building. The
Initial, the pillars on each side Of
the door, the door step and the
awning frame all became so
heavily charged with the fluid that
everyone who came in contact
with either was shocked. The
first that was known of it Miss
Emma Morris was passing by, &C
companied by her dog Jim, when
Jim stepped into the door and re-
ceived the shock. He set up a
howl and tumbled over, and to
make the din worse the parrot in
the back of the store began to yell
"Here dog! here dog!" Every
one thought Jim had been poison
ed, and a little crowd gathered
around to see him die, when a boy
who had just had a wrestle with
one Of the awning posts explained
the matter. Lewis, the little COL
ored porter, without knowing
what was the trouble, caught hold
Of an awning post, and immedi-
ately began to dance up and down
and call for some one to hold him.
A barefooted colored boy, before
he could be prevented, set his foot
on the doorstep and was knocked
down, and persons stepping over
the iron portion of the step felt a
shock.
A board was placed on the step,
but ladies stepping upon it jumped
off quickly and screamed. Mr..
Halfway, superintendent of the
Gas and Electric Light Company,
was sent for and soon remedied
the matter.
A bright-eyed little girl under
took to tell the ROUNDABOUT all
about it, and said man had been
blown up down at Mr.. Heeney's;
that he fell out into the street and
got his face all muddy. When
asked if powder or gas had caused
the explosion, she said she thought
the gas came up out Of the ground,
went over and got him and threw
him out in the street.

death, only escaping in their night
clothes when the fire began to fall
in upon them. An alarm was
turned in from box 23 and the fire
department was on hand promptly
and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames before the grocery was
entirely consumed. The loss is
about 500, with $500 insurance
on the Macklin building, $500 on
