An Old Han Hurt.

We notice by the Glasgow Missou-
rian that John Green Forrest, OF
Forest Green, while returning from
Glasgow last Friday, came very
near losing his life by his team run
ming away. he was thrown from
his spring wagon, falling upon his
head. The force OF the concussion
rendered him unconscious and in
this condition he was found by q
party OF fishermen from Xoberly.
DR.. j. W. Hawkins Was telegrsphed
for and IN examination disclosed
the fact that the top OF his head was
badly bruised, one ear partly gone,
and he was otherwise injured. He is
badly hurt, though his injuries may
not prove fatal, despite the fact that
he is 72 years old. The horses were
found uniniured, though the wagon
was completely demolished.

Several parts of the county have
been visited by nice rains since our
last issue, but Keytesville and vicini-
ty were not included in the fortunate
territory. In some localities the
rain was accompanied by hail, doing
considerable damage to growing
crops, especially to wheat. The
worst destruction wrought by the
hail, so far as We have heard, was at
Mendon and vicinity, and a mile or
so east of Brunswick.

Shot Through the Heart.

Daniel Gamble, a farm hand re-
Gently in the employ of w. T.
Adams, a farmer living three miles
east of Salisbury, boarded the east
bound 12:30,a. m, Wabash passen-
ger train, at Salisbury, June 18th, in
noisy state of intoxication. In
addition to beng drunk, he was
armed with a huge revolver that he
occasionally fourished in the car,
boasting of his prowess and desper-
ate character. He gave the conduc-
tor great deal of trouble all the
way down to Moberly. When the
train reached that place Gamble
drew his pistol and attempted to en-
ter the sleeper. The brakeman made
complaint to Depot Policeman Pal
mer. When Palmer found Gamble
he was swinging his pistol in rsck-
less manner and acting like crazy
man. Failing to quiet him, Palmer
turned him over to Officers Penn
and Reylolds.
When Reynolds grssped him by
the wrist, he wrenched loose and
again drew his revolver, and, placing
it against his own breast, fred. The
fiash set his cravat on fire. Then
leveling his pistol at Penn. sent q
ball into the officers shoulder.
Gamble fired again, after which his
revolver would not work. Penn
fired Eve times at the man, and Rey-
nolds once. Gamble then fell. By
ISLANDERS rushed forward to put out
the fire that was destroying bis tie.
He was found to have been shot
through the arch of the heart, sever
ing the aorta and passing through
the body. and he died in q few mo-
wents. The dead body was taken to
the undertaking establishment of j.
s. VanCleve & Co.
The ball was extracted from the
shoulder of officer Penn by DR.. Irwin,
and the officer is now resting easy
at his home. The amazing part of
the occurrence is that though eight
shots vert fired, and there were
many people on the depot platform,
no one was hit except the parties to
the shooting. Deputy County Clerk
II. Fl. Miller, of Keytesvills. was on
the same train with Gamble and was
a witness to the shooting. OF course
no legal responsibility attaches
to the officer killing Gamble, who is
about 10 years OF age and came to
Missouri from Kentucky nearly q
year ago, and had since lived in the
vicinity Of Salisbury.

THE STATE VS.. THE INDIVIDUAL.

A correspondent in this issue,
writing of the late troubles in South
Carolina, draws the moral that the
Government should keep it's hands
from every employment of an in
dustrial nature and confine itself
strictly to what is supposed to be
its own proper business, the protec-
ton of individual life and prop
erty.
This theory of the functions of
government has been the current
orthodoxy among Anglo Saxons
ever since the days of John Locke.
The expanding interests and press
ing needs of the 10Th Century,
however, have long since outgrown
the straight jacket of laissez.foire.
The idea of the social organism,
of a unity binding together all
men in q common human life
with common ends, is rapidly dis
placing the conception of the iso-

THE DILEMMA OF THE DARN1NG
NEEDLE.

The Star last night made an
other of its facetious contributions
to the literature of the woman's
suffrage question. 1t details the
sufferings of a man who could not
get his stockings darned because
his wife wanted to attend poll
teal meeting.
We feel nothing but the most
profound sympathy for the wrongs
of this husband. When we con-
slider the claim upon the time of
wives, made by balls, garden par
ties, receptions, dinners, afternoon
teas, dressmakers, mi:liners, pray
er-meetings, kindergartens, Jap
anese Sunday schools, Feasts of
Nations, and a few other things
(which need not be enumerated, it
Is wonder that men should be
able to get their stockings darned
at all, even in this age. In that
political pandemonium of voting
females foreseen by the Star, it is
evident that stockings could not
be worn, and the world would
speedily relapse into barbarism.
On this little darning needle our
evening contemporary has cruelty
impaled the cause of Women's
Rights, and unless society can be
reorganized on some basis which
will reconcile the conflicting claims
of ballot boxes and undarned
stockings, let women dream no
longer of the suffrage.
We are inclined to think that
the hope of such reconciliation
is Utopian. The wit of man cannot
devise it. Hegel himself, who syn
thesized contradictions as smooth
ly as an ordinary man swallows
an oyster, would have shrunk from
such an undertaking as this. We
hope that women will be warned in
time and not tempt Providence by
attempting the impossible.

THAT REGISTRATION OATH.

At meeting of the Fifth Ward
Club on Wednesday evening, re-
s,iution was passed the tenor OF
which was that those in office IN
Hawaii nej, who have refused or
neglected to take the oath aud
register should step down and out.
There are good many Office
holders in the Fifth Ward, many
of whom are natives and all OF
whom receive small salaries. They
have all registered, and for SO do
ing, they receive daily beratings
from their daily press and are
held up to the ridicule of their
fellows. They do not care for that,
as they have accepted Office and
are willing to take the conse-
quences of loyal adherence to the
Government. 1t renders it all the
more difficult for them wheI, men
in high position receiving much
higher salary are not compelled
to register or take the oath. They
think all should comply with the
requirements of registration and
especially those in Office.
