FULL OF BASKET.

Jim Hubbard, who is mining on
Tennessee Prairie, started to his
work Saturday morning smoking
the pipe of contentment and enter
tanning visions of big lead and
jack. All would have went well
had he not carried in his hand a
basket containing three sticks of
dynamite and number of caps.
The pipe may have had something
to do with bringing his loppy med
itations TO sudden termination,
but be that as it may, all of sud-
den Mr.. Hubbard didn't know
where he was at or wlIuf he was
doing there. You see, the caps ex-
ploded, likewise the powder, and
Hubbard couldn't get away fast
enough to prevent the basket from
overtaking him. DIR. Payne was
summoned and removed most of
the basket from Hubbard's body,
but he will be able to pull tooth
pick from most any portion for
some time to come. His thigh was
considerably lacerated, as well as
one arm, and he was pretty well
filed up on wood generally. He
will probably not carry his powder
and caps in the same basket here

OBITUARY..

Died, at his late home one mile
northwest of this city on Monday
evening, August 3, 1895, George
Sharp, aged forty-eight years and
eleven months, of blood poisoning
Mr.. Sharp received a scratch from
hedge thorn a few days before, but
he did not think the injury of any
consequence and paid but little at
iention to it. Blood poisoning set
in, however, and the combined
efforts of Drs. English and Jones oi
this city and DIR. James of Colun-
bus to save him availed nothing.
Funeral services were held on
Wednesday, the 5th inst, and the
remains inferred in the city ceme-
terry.
George Sharp was man univer.
sally respected by all who knew
him and his death is a big loss TO
the community.

THERE WILL BE WAR.

The leading newspapers of Eng
land say there will be war between
that country and the United States
by this time next year il Bryan is
elected. We will publish some of
their harpings next week.
That's a very nice bluff, now,
isn't il? Since when has this coun
try had to ask England who may
occupy the presidential chair of tho
United States? II we can't run our
affairs without the consent of Eng.
land, why let's go to war.
With the countries east of Eng
land fighting her on one side and
the United States on the other, Eng
land would last about as long as

THIS IS VERY GOOD.

The following is an editorial from
the London Financial News:
,, There is plain moral in the re-
mark that il the United States
would venture 10 cut herself adrift
from Europe aud take outright to
silver she would have all America
and Asia at her back and the com.
mand of the markets of both coun-
tries. The barrier of gold would be
more fatal than any barrier of
custom house. The bond of silver
would be stronger than any bond OF
free trade. There can be no doubt
about ii that If the United States
were to adopt silver basis to-mor-
row British trade would be ruined
before the year was out. Every
American would be protected, not
only at home, but in every other
market. Of course the United
States would suffer to certain ex-
tent through having to pay her
obligations abroad in gold, but the.
loss of exchange under this head
would be mere drop in the bucket
as compared to the profit to be
reaped from the markets of South
America and Asia, to say nothing
of Europe. The marvel is that the
United States have not long ago
seized the opportunity. 1t has been
piece of luck that It has never
occurred to the Americans to scoop
us out of the worlds markets by
going on silver basis, and il
might serve us right If, irritated by
the contemplate apathy of our peo-
pie and government to the silver
problem, the Americans retaliated
by freezing out gold. 1t could east.

A TERRITORY KILLING.

Another killing took place in the
Territory on Tuesday of this week.
This time IL was in the Miami res.
ervation near Ncosho river and
about eighteen miles southwest Of
this city. Mrs. James Charlie aud
man named Crawford Webb reside
at the above mentioned place. Mrs
Charlie is n sister of James Mnnley
and Maniey and Webb have at sev'
eral different times had trouble.
On Tuesday evening Manley went
to the Webb place and engaged
Webb in conversation in the COW
lot where the latter was milking the
cows. When Webb had finished
his chores lie and Manly started for
the house, Webb leading. As they
came up to the gate leading into
the door yard Manley struck Webb
over the had with six shooter.
Webb was staggered, but he grab
bed the gate post to keep from fall.
ing. and in 80 doing turned, facing
Manley, who struck him in the face
with the revolver again. Webb then
wrested the revolver away from
Manley and shot him three times,
death resulting instantly. Webb
immediately went to Chetopa and
gave himself up to United States
Commissioner A. r. Bell, who com.
mitted him to the Oswego Jail.
Manley was a one-armed man and
very qunrrelsome. He at one time
ran joint on the state line east of
Galenn, where he had very unsav-
ory reputation.
Public sympathy seems to be
with Webb, as the killing was un-
doubtedly done in self defense.
