Killed While Hunting.

Walter Thompson, a son of E. J..
Thompson, living opposite the Lovett
school house, four and half miles
southwest Of the city, was accideDtly
killed while hunting on his fathers
farm Monday afternoon. The entire
right side OF his face and head was
blown of by discharge from a shot
gun. The accident happened 10 a
corn field shortly after noon. The
body was found about 6 o'clock that
evening by two Of the dead boys sis
tiers who had instituted search for
him.
Young Thompson, who is between
the ages Of IA and II years, started
out hunting Monday Immediately
after dinner. His father told him to
return to the house at 3 o'clock and
mitch up The horses for the purpose of
blowing. The boy carried double.
oarreled muzzle-lOading shotgun and
went into corn field near the house.
A half hour after he had gone his
mother heard two shots at an interval
OF only minute or 50. The second
shot ended his life. The theory is
that after one Of the shots had been
fired from the gun the boy began to
reload. He probably had the triggers
to the gun cooked and forgot to let
them down. While loading the gun
the trigger to the loaded barrel came
down, discharging the gun, the shot
tearing away the right side of his face
and head.
Ats o'clock when the boy did not
return his sisters decided to 20 out
and look for him. They took the
course he had taken only a few hours
before through the corn field. They
came upon his body not a z, eat dis
lance from the house. 1t was cold
when found. The gun, with one of
its barrels discharged ana the other
partly loaded, was lying by and told
the tale. The girls returned to the
house horror stricken, and told the
tale to their parents. The boys body
was carried home and a messenger
sent to Wellington to notify the couu-
ty attorney.
The evidences of an accidental kill
ing were so plain that a coroner's in.
quest Was deemed unnecessary. The
body was buried Tuesday afternoon. |

"BlufI" of Mine Operators.

Columbus, O., Aug 19-A rumor thai
certain Pittsburg operators have made
the statement that they intend to resume
even If Gatling guns have to be used and
Pinkerton men employed, is character.
lied by President Ratchford as bluff.
He says:
"There is but one Interpretation OF this
statement-namely, that the operators
prefer to shed blood rather than negoti.
ate a peaceful settlement. They cannot
build stockades high enough or strong
enough in the Pittsburg district to hold
non.union workmen, and any effort in
that direction will fail. In the first place,
there is no unaninity among the oper.
ators; and, in the second place, they can
not hope to get non.u union workmen.
Further than that, the opinion of the
great public of itself will defeat their
plans, even though they were agreed and
non-union labor could be secured"

Uncle Sam Is Determined to Secure tho
McCord Indemnity.
Washington, Aug. 2o-The diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Peru have become badly strained and it
is believed that it may become necessary
for the United States to make a demon
stration to enforce its demands against
the South American republic. The
trouble is caused by the determination
of the United States to collect the claim
of Victor McCord as announced by Sec
retary Sherman both orally and in the
state documents. The Peruvians have
offered none but the fimsiest excuses, as
the claim was admitted as just ten years
ago when the case occurred. McCord
was robbed of $4,000 by the members of
the revolutionary party that is now in
power. The reason of the failure to pay
is the bankrupt condition of the country.

WEDNESDAY, JULY IA, 1897.
Tariff Bill Settled.
BY G.. W. NORRIS.

The senate passed the Cariff bill al
most on schedule time and there is
prospect that the bill may reach the
White House this week. To the
waiting business interests the time
consumed by debate in the senate
seemed long, but the records show
that no previous congress has
passed a tariff bill in such quick time.
The credit which is due should there
fore be accorded the present upper
house.
The senate has, during the last
weeks Of debate in that body. been
gradually reading from the changes
which they made with great show of
superior wisdom when the bill first
came over from the house, AMI the
bill goes to conference very much like
the original DingIey bill. In confer
ence it is expected to take still more
of this form.
The decisive vote by which the bill
passed the senate leaves no room for
doubt as to its final passage. A ma
iority Of ten in that body gives the
bill sure ticket for passage when it
comes out of conference. What
Speaker Reed will have the house do
with +he bill has, of course, never
been . matter Of doubt.
White 1t is impossible to please all
the interests involved, the Dingley bill
is admitted by impartial people to be
as fair a protective tariff measure as
could be expected. 1t is neither Sec
tlonal nor designed in the interest of
special classes. It's result will furnish
a fair test of the best that can be ex-
pected from the policy of protection.

The CAPTAIN Told Him.

An Englishman, touring through

one night and on the following morning,
after walking on deck and looking
around him, he stepped up to the cap
tain and asked, 81 beg your pardon, but
would you kindly tell me what lake
I'm on"
''The Lake Huron, - replied the cap
tain and turned away.
The Englishman looked puzzled for a
moment, and then, following the cap
tain, began again, 81 beg your pardon,
you said''-
'sIt's the Lake Huron,'' roared the
captain, thinking the man was deaf
eyes, / know" persisted the passen-
ger, "but what's the name of the lake
that I'm on?''
.sThe Lake Hurcnr' shouted the cap
tain, incensed at what he thought gross
stupidity. and he turned away to relieve
himself by railing at one Of the hands.
The Englishman looked more puzzled
than ever.
''The lake you're on is the lake you re
on. OF course it is. The lake I m on
can't help being the lake I'm on. What
impertinence! Let me look in my guide
book. Perhaps that will tell me. "
It did tell him, and then the humor
of the situation suddenly dawred upon
him.-London Tit-Bits.
