evening shooting affair occurred three
miles east of here which caused sensa-
ton. A few years ago Charles Derstler
married a daughter Of Thomas Stapleton.
Their married life was not pleasant and
ended by their being divorced. Bad blood
has existed between the two families ever
since. Last spring Stapleton made an eff
fort to secure a grand jury indictment
against Derstler for some alleged crime.
He had all of the neghbors for miles
ever. failed TO indict. but the matter served
Derstler. in company with a neighbor boy
named Stanley went to Alexandria. AS
they returned they had to pass Stapletcn's
house. StaDleton an his son were stand
ing in the barn lot and with scarcely a
word of warning they both opened fire on
Derstler and Stanley. One bullet struck
Derstler in the shoulder. making a very
painful but not dangerous wound
another clipped off Stanleys left
ear. The wounded men came 10
Frankton and had warrants issued for the
arrest of Stapleton and his son. The war
rants were placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Sol Smelser. who arrested the
Stapletons at their home and brought them
to town. They gave bond for their appear
ance at the preliminary trial Tuesday.
Stapleton and Derstler's father are two Of
the wealthiest farmers in this part of the
county and the case promises TO become
highly sensational.

BRITISH MANNERS.
An English man Admits that They Arc
Very Bad indeed.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser
1t is seldom that an Eng'ishman sits in
judgment upon the manners. customs or
institutions of his country. He is brought
up to believe. and. as a rule. he does be-
lieve. that England is the stronghold of
civilization, and that the inhabitants Of
rians.
The Right Honorable the Earl Of Meath
Is a shining exception to this rule. In the
Nineteenth Century for July he asks the
question Are Manners Disappearing from
Great Britain?" and. in the main. he an
swers in the affirmative. He asserts that
the almost universal prejudice against John
Bull is not the result OF envy OF his great
ness. as sJohn Bull fondly thinks. but of
bis abomfnabie manners. The general bear
ing OF the Englishman at home is not CHAR
acterizsd by 1nesse and social tact but it
abroad. On the continent he throws off
the last vestige of courteous restraint and
missing. thick-headcd Anglo-Saxon, who be-
ileves in nothing hut himself and despises
foreigners. He acts on this belief by re-
fusing to conform TO the customs of the
in hotels when all the other men have their
heads uncovered; he will take his place ut
the table d'hote without bowling to the
other guests He will appear at dinner in
a shooting jacket and knickerbocSers. al
though at home he would not dream of
being present at this high function unless
he was in faultless evening attire
These are a few of the charges brought
by the Earl OF Meath against the gentle
tiatcd by any one who has had much ex-
perience in foreign travel even by those
who have come in contact with English
visitors to this country. y celebrated En-
glish historian, while on a visit to a presi-
dent OF Cornell University. drove his hos
tess almost to despair by appearing in a
flannel shirt at a large dinner which she
had given in his honor. His bearing toward
the members of the faculty invited to meet
him was in keeping with his nonchalant at
tire. Yet this same astonishing gentleman
proved a most charming host when he sub
sequently entertained the president at his
own home in England.
The Earl of Meath ascribes the bad man
ners Of his countrymen largely TO their
cocksure belief in the perfection of every
thing English. and partly TO their hatred
of insincerity. 1t is characteristic of the
Anglo-Saxon that he looks with suspicion
upon the graciousnesS and Suavity of the
Latin nations. He mistrusts the delicate
politeness which may veil ridicule con-
tempt or indifference. He believes that
there is rough hand under the perfumed
glove.
The insincerites which may may not
underiie the DleSsing manners of the
Frenchman. the Italian or the Spaniard is
certainly not the inevitable result of cour-
tesy. Americans as well as EnglShmen
have yet TO learn the art of being at once
frank and tactful. diplomatic and honest
The finest flower of courtesy springs from
these paradoXical unions.

Bicycle Nose.


The practice of riding bicycles along
country roads is adapted to raise the hu-
man nose to a position of increased influ-
ence and honor. The bicyclist iu the coUn-
Neither can he see very much. The chief
use he has for his eyes is TO watch the
road in front OF him. His ears he relies on
TO keep from being run over from behind
The only organ Of sense he has that is at
leisure and free from responsibility for his
safety is his nose. That is TO have fun
with All the smells that come his way he
can assimilate without hazard or disturb
ance. and as the country smells are very
varied and for the most part pleasant. the
enjoyment his nose affords him is i'm
portant part OF his fun. When you see
bicyclist who has been riding in the coun-
try ask him what smells he met. He Will
not have seen very much-no bicyciist does
but IL you remind him of the smells he
will remember them. He took them all in
for his nose was at leisure. even when his
legs and hands and eyes were busiest.

the ball ground was blown down, also parts
of the woman'S building under erection,
that part of which is finished being unin-

was blown off and many tents and trees
were blown down. One very large tree was

are In deporable condition as a result of
the flood. The enormous damage is just

in the county come serious reports In
some portions of the county there are roads
that are entirely ruined. and weeks of
hard work will be required TO put them in
good condition. 1t is believed that more
than 200 culverts in the county were either
washed out or partly destroyed, and eight
or ten bridges were moved from their abut-
ments. A very heavy loss was sustained in
the melon district, south of the city where
about 600 acres of melons were swept away.
