Love and q Shot.0un.

Bernard Abelu, q farmer living
1 1-2 miles northwest of Salisbury,
with the aid OF q shotgun made
things rather lively for the Ginter
family Monday night. running them
all OF their place. Abeln's daugh
ter, it seems. was being courted
by one of the Ginter boys, to which
Barney" objected, 80 be concluded
to urge bis objections by threatening
to kill the whole outfit OF Ginters.
Tuesday morning q warrant was
sworn out before Squire Newbold at
Salisbury for Abeln's arrest. and
he was taken in custody, but the
dove OF peace came along about this
time and a compromise was effected
by which the couple are to be mar
ried and the prosecution against
Abeln dropped.

THE pREss-spEcrAroR's WHINE.

The Salisbury Press Spectator of
last week charges Sheriff Dempsey
and "others" of unjustly discrimi-
mating against the Salisbury papers
in dispensing their official patron
age.
So far as the COURIER is concerned
we have this to say:
The COURIER was fret given two
sheriff sales, for one of which we were
indebted to lawyer friend.
The next week when the foreclos-
ure sales to school and other funds
we're distributed. MIR. Dempsey did
not receive these publications until
Thursday, and before he could get
them ready it was too late TO mail
them to the Salisbury papers be-
fore they went to press. hence they
we're inserted in such papers as could
publish them that week.
As to the Press. Spectators whim-
per about "others" Discriminating
against it. that journal is no doubt
receiving it's just deserts for not
giving the last Democratic county
ticket a more loyal support. In
stead of urging the Democratic
voters to stand by the nominees OF
their party, it boldly advised them
"to vote to protect Salisbury's In
terests,' fully explained ''how to
scratch" etc.
In other words, the P.-iS. sowed it's
political seed in stony ground, and
is reaping a harvest in accordance
with its folly and erratie conduct.

Brunswick's Electric uights..and Wa
ter Works.


Upon the suggestion of Jacob
Boston and the kindness of Superin-
tendent p. C. Barney we visited and
were shown through the power
house of Brunswick's electric light
and water-works plants late last
Saturday afternoon.
So far as we were able to Judge
everything worked like q cha-m,"
and Brunswick's electric lights nd
water-works are success. and ar3
justly the pride of every enterprising
citizen of that place.
MIR. Barney informed rs that they
use .he Eddison dynamo from
which three wires are used for light
ing purposes. The engine is also
one Of the best makes and is called
the "Watertown" engine.
twenty arc lights of 1000 candle
power, each, are used for lighting
the city's streets.
There are 316 incandescent lights
OF 16-candle power, each, in use,
which are utilized for lighting busi-
ness houses or residences. With the
exception of three or four places Of
business these lights are in use, but
the only residence yet to adopt
them is that of j. A. Merchant.
Eight residences ant. -four business
houses have 90 far taken advantage
ofthe water-works and greatly enjoy
the cOnvenieaces they afford.
Both plants. complete. cost $11,-
TOO, and are proving to be q big adj
vertisment for Brunswick, to say
nothing Of the worry the electric
lights save in cleaning coal OH
lamps, ETC., while the water works
are used in keeping down dust and
ss means OF protection against
fire are invaluable.
For bis services Mr.. Barney re-
ceives q salary of $40 q month
and employees his own assistant,

These late enterprises already lack
very little of being self.sustaining.
and are proving blessing to Bruns-

rlade Grave Robbing a Business.

A grave robbers box, or trunk,
was found in Marceline about the
time the body of Mics Leona Cater
was restored to her parents, that
had pasted on its ends seventeen OF
more tickets showing it's receipt at
the Kansas City depot that number
OF times, and indicated that it's own
er had been engaged in grave rob
bing for some time past. In refer
euce to the robbiDg OF Miss Leona
Gates grave. the Marceline Jour
nal has the following:
sit is not to be supposed that the
grand jury Of Charlton county will
allow this outrage to go unpun-
ished. The whole community is in
terested in the protection OF our
dead from the ghouls who make
merchandise OF the sacred dust that
we give TO the keeping OF our moth
er earth, and over which we shed
tears of the bitter grief that mortal
hearts can feel. There is no punish-
meut too great for q human being
go devoid of all the feelings OF hu-
manity as TO drag out the bodies ol
the dead from their resting places to
cell them as merchandise Tor the pal
try price they can realize Tor the
fruits OF their crime"

Wyatt's majority.

1t will be observed that in road
district No. 4. j. A. Jenkins and
Robr. Brown each received the same
number of votes for road overseer.
Mr.. BROWNIE understand, "does not
want the Office" and desires that
Mr.. Jenkins consider himself elected,
which Julian has decided to do in
the hope of that holding an Office OF
such responsibility will help him TO
commit matrimony.
In justice to Mr.. Emmerson. who

not q candidate, notwithstanding
some are cruel enough to say that
he voted for himself.

his last sermon for that congrega-

A new luxury in the vegetable line

at any time; with little fear of an Of

SO many sheriffs in the West and

the price OF the animals is increasing,

that band of wild horses known as

Ashes to Cure Cuts.

DIR. Pashkoff, a Russian physician.
who has been studying the treatment,
recently said i'll an interview in a
Russian medical journal
81 strongly recommend the treat
ment of cuts and wounds with ashes.
Experiment has convinced me of the
thorough efficacy of the treatment,
and, in addition, it is cheap, takes
little time to arrange and does away
with bulky bandadges, which have
always been the bane Of nurses and
physicians. The best ashes are those
resulting from the burning of some
cotton stuff or linen. and only very
thin layer should be applied. If the
wound has been made by some dirty
instrument and there Is danger of
blood poisoning, it should be first
washed thoroughly with lotion.
The ashes with the blood form hard
substance, under which the most Sc
we're cuts heal with remarkable rapid
ity."

Labor in Vain.

That convicts be placed at hard and
Improbable labor, so as not to COM
pete with honest toll, is often urged
ny the friends OF workingmen. The
ideal of these agitators has been
reached at London, Ontario. The
workhouse and penitentiary of the
town is situated upon the top of a
high bluff by the river side. The
convicts are told off into groups of
four, and between them is barrel
with handles; this they fill at the ri
yer side, and then toll painfully up
the steep path to the summit of the
bluff, where the contents of the bar
rel dre thrown into gutter to rush
back into the river. Thon they de
scend to the water level for another
load.
