~ D. E. Booker Yesterday.

Deputy ID. f. Booker late
yesterday evening shot and in
all probability mortally wound
ed Jack Wiggins whom he was
attempting to arrest. The shoot
ing occurred at Virgins home
one and a half miles north Of
Reck at 6:30 o'clock, immedi-
ately after which Mr.. Booker re-
turned to this city and reported
the unfortunate occurrence. 10
an ARDMoREITE reporter Mr..
Booker made the following
statement:
Il held a warrant for the
arrest of Wiggins on a charge
of n threat to kill a man in his
neighborhood by the name of
Denton. When l drove up To
his house yesterday Wiggins
came out to the gate. asked
if he was Jack Wiggins, receiv-
ing a reply that he was where
upon told him ] had warrant
for his arrest. He asked 10
have it read which did.
After hearing the warrant Wig
gins said he would not he ar

| reasoned with him, but To no
good purpose. He started To
the house, evidently to get his
gun. / called on him TO sur
render or would shoot, he kept
moving for the house and defied
me. Then just before he reach

Virgins is known to have
been a dangerous man and his
probable taking off meets with
no feelings of regret In official
circles more than follows all

Mr.. Booker used his pistol and
only fired one shot.

Profit From Hogs.

To get the best profit from hogs it is
essential to have quick maturing
breed, and then push the growth and
market as soon as ready. The first 100
pounds put in hog costs less than
the second, and the second less than
the third. Every additional 100
pounds costs more than the pre-
ceding, so that whenever an ex-
cessive weight is secured it is done at
an immense cost.
One advantage in Summer feeding
is that the growth can be made on
clover pastures aided by liberal feeding
OF grain and experience has shown
that this is one of the cheapest and
healthiest growths secured.
In pushing the growth rapidly and
economically it is an item to feed
all that the pigs will eat up clean. but
not to overfeed, as overfeeding is
wasteful and increases the cost. Un-
der present conditions hogs must be
made ready for the market at low
cost il profit is realized, and all reas-
enable care must be taken to feed
economically.

Wonderful Experience.

A boy by the name of Holmes, about
8 years OF age, met with a remarkable
experience at the Opera House on the
night OF the Fourth OF July. During
the dance he went to sleep in the gal
lery and when it was over and the
lights put out he was locked in there.
He walked up about o'clock and while
partly asleep fell over the gallery down
upon the dance floor below. The fall
ought to have killed him, it would
seem, but it did not. He was bruised
but not disabled, and he managed to
make his way through the ladies'
dressing-room to the balcony in front
of the Opera House and slide down a
pillar to the street. His father. who
had been looking for him, found him
at this juncture.-Virginia Chronicle.

The very heaviest nugget of gold
ever discovered was found near the
village of Moliagel, Victoria, Aus
tralia, in February, 1869. Two pros
pectors found it on the margin OF a

two feet OF the bedrock OF sandstone.
The nugget was 2l inches long and a
fraction over 10 inches thick. When
melted the pure gold it was found to
contain weighed exactly 2,26S ounces.

Drinking lee water.

Stockton Independent: Ice water is
as dangerous as strychnine during hot
weather, though it is not so quick a
poison. The death OF Gen. John Nc
Comb is directly traceable to immod-
crate drinking of that beverage. He
was in poor health and the shock pro-
duced by drinking copious drafts OF ice
water brought his disease to climax,
from which he had not the strength
to rally. Ice-cold water is safe only
when drunk in moderation and slowly
so as not to shock or chill the stomach.

.,.,up,,ps blocks in ersmmer.

Imppose hardly any one who has
aver written twenty pages OF English
will deny that this want Of gender
ess pronoun for the third person sim
gular is the greatest defect OF our Ian
guage. and one that has never been
successfully supplied, and never will
be ill the common sense OF the people
stems in and overides by its fat the de-
c,ees Of the authorities. The clumsy
makeshift, "his or her." has been as
nersistently rejected by the language
;nstinct OF our race as 1t has been
urged by grammarians, and the critics
NAV shout themselves hoarse telling
us that in such cases the masculine
n,onoun is TO be regarded as including
bo,h eenders; the language sense OF
the average English-speaking person
will never tolerate its intrusion in such
a sentence as this: EITHER the hus-
band or wife will change his opinion"
Nine people out Of ten. nay ninety
nine out Of hundred, il they haven't
the fear Of the schoolmasters before
their eyes, will say, in such a case,
"either the husband or wife will
change their opinion" In fact, this
usage is now so common in converse
ton that it may almost be said to
have become well-established col
loQuialism, and examples of it can
frequently be found in the best writer's.
Ruskin never hesitates TO employ il
when il suits his convenience TO do so.
Fielding does the same, as, for ex-
ample, "Nobody knows what 1t is TO
lose friend till they have lost him"
and though | am not very familiar
with the writings OF Charles Reade
here is an instance OF the same sort
taken from him: Everybody was on
deck amusing themselves as best they
could."
This usage points TO the only prac-
tical way out OF the difficulty. The
Queens English must step down from
its throne when the people take it in

His Maiden speech.

pared an elaborate speech for the oc.
casion. He rose in response TO loud
calls for him and felt in his inside
pocket for the manuscript. II was
gone. 1t had slipped through hole
in the bottom.
The situation was terrible one, but
the self-possession Of the rising young
politician did not forsake him. Let
ting his hand remain in the breast of
his coat he looked fearlessly out over
the assembly.
MY fellow-citizens," he said. T
have no-no words in which to express
my thanks for the honor you have
done me in selecting me as one OF your
standard bearers in this campaign,
and will simply ask you to join me-
lie was interrupted by deafening
cheers, in which the other orators on
the platform heartily joined.
The situation was still more terrible.
He had intended merely to propose
three cheers for the ticket, but the au-
dience had hastily jumped to the con-
clusion that he was extending an in
vitation OF another kind.
Still he did not lose his head.
81 see, fellow-citizens," he resumed
with a smile as soon as he could make
himself heard again, "you understand
me. Come onl"
He seized his hat, and the meeting
adjourned at once to the saloon on the
floor below. He had made the hit OF
the evening.-Chicago Tribune.

Years ago a member OF the Indiana
Legislature, in a brand new suit OF
broadcloth and silk hat, gold headed
cane and white lawn tie, wandered up
into the sanctum of the Louisville
Courier. Journal, stood around in a list
less way, looked over the papers,
went down stairs and came back sew
eral times. He was asked to take a
seat, which he declined deliberately,
and ended by drawing his chair in a
confidential way up to the "Round-
about" mans desk.
Gould you," said he, "put in the

about my being a prominent Indianan

laid down 81 so, grinned, got red in
the face, said "Good morning." and
vanished.
Next morning he read that "Mr
John X. Huckleberry requests us to
say that he is at the Gait House with
his bride that he is prominent men,
Der OF the Legislature of Indiana, and
that he himself, personally, cares
nothing about newspaper notoriety,
but that a society note would be highly
gratifying to Mrs. Huckleberry. He
also added that he wanted so copies OF

stituents. ."-Washington Post.

This Horse Can Count.

There is a grocer doing business moi
far from the south end of Virgins
avenue who has horse that is very
regular in his habits. He has learned
that the bell in engine house No. 8
strikes twelve times every day at noon,
and when the hour comes and the
horse hears the bell he turns his ears
forward and waits for the boy who al
ways feeds him at that time. The
horse will look anxiously toward the
store and wait a few moments. II the
boy does not soon make his appear
ance, the horse gets tired OF waiting
and slowly walks TO the stable. Every
day the people near by notice that the
horse becomes restless as soon as the
first bell rings at noon, and, while a
few moments before his head was
dropping, at the first stroke OF the bell
his eyes open wide and he takes on an
air of close attention.
One day the fireman concluded to
try mean trick on the horse to see
how much he really did know about
the number OF times the bell rang.
They pulled the rope that rings the bell
eleven times and then stopped. I'm.
mediately the horses eyes closed and
his head dropped into the same list
less position il had maintained for
some time. The boy soon came out
and got into the wagon. He drove
home and ate his own dinner but did
not take the horse to the stable. On
his return he stopped and put the horse
in the stable and fed him. The whole
matter seemed to be a surprise TO the
horse, and now the people in the
firmly believe the horse
can count.-Indianapolis Journal.
