Doctor u IaIDesperadO.

Stringtown, March 29.-Today
Stripgtown or more properly,
suburban Stringtown, may add an
other crime to her list of horrors.
DR.. Douglass, a physician of this
section, sat on his horse and in re-
ply to jest, deIif elately fired tree
shots into speakeasy man, break
ing his arm ,shattering his shoulder
and tearing away half his face.
Douglass had been drinking, and
in passing the speakeasy in which
Card acted as the bar tender, made
a baptering remark which the
speakeasy man resented by telling
him that he, Douglass, wouldn't
shoot any one. In reply the doctor
pulled a gun of small calabre
and pumped three shots into the
face of the man standing beside
him. The doctor then started
down the road waving the gun
over his head and excla inning at the
top of his voice: II have just shot
a speakeasy man."
The attack, to all appearance,
was wholly without provication,
and although the victim of the
shooting will not die, he is in a Sc
rious condition, and may lose an
eye.
Stringtown has record and she
is proud of it, and is meeting with
flattering success in her endeavors
to retain it.
With the advent of spring comes
a dryness in the throat which be-
comes painful under the indisputa-
bic evidence that ctringtown is dry.
Dry the word is to awfully horri.
BILE, for though yet true, and if
Stringtown, hitherto respondent
with all that the word implies,
seems doomed to swelter through
the long summer dry.

Flood Mud.

Much surprise is expected by
many of our citizens who had
the misfortune to have their premi-
ses submerged by the recent high
waters, at the very large amount of
sediment deposited by the receding
food. Some go SO far as to claim
there was considerably more than
in "a. A very intelligent and OBJ
serving citizen who has been in all
the floods since and including 81,
explains it this way: The flood IF
1884 was early in February when
the mountains, hills and valleys
covered with snow. 1t was this
melting snow upon which the rain
fell which largely caused the flood,
whereas the flood of last week was
due to heavy and incessant rains
which tell upon the soft, bare earth
in such abundant quantities that
the surface soil readily disintegrat-
ed, mingled with the rushing tor
rents, and was held in solution un.
til deposited in its new home.

A Few More Remarks.

To fear God and keep his COM
mandments is said to be the whole
duty of man. whether to make
money, always to make money
and only to'make money IS one of
these commandments is open TO
question, but a good many of us
live as if we believed so. 1t is
something to have plenty of money
while you live. 1t is something for
your relatives if you have plenty of
money when you die. To you, it is
nothing more than a coffin and
tombstone. You leave an apple of
discord to be divided among your
heirs at law as the only fruit of a
lifetime. No custard pie was ever
yet fairly divided among FIVE boys.
Some one always got the biggest
piece. The more money you get
the more you want and the less you
think you have. We knew man
to commit suicide because he had
only $4,000.
1t is something to be regarded as
public spirited benefactor of the
community in which you live. 1t
is something to live in an active,
enterprising town and to be able to
feel that you have promoted that
activity and that enterprise. These
will be pleasant things to remember
when you come to die, pleasanter
far than your bauk account, balanc-
ed against you forever.
There are persons in this town
who have it in their power to make
this town 60 or to make it quit
going as they see fit and we are
talking to them. Together you
own the goose which lays the gold
en- eggs; be careful you do not kill
the goose and then-no more goose
eggs. The dog who went into the
manger may have been fairly
good dog but he couldn't eat hav,
and therefore was not horse. But
he wouldn't let the horse eat hay
therefore he was a dog.-Wetzel
Democrat.

Enforcing the Sunday Law.

A wave of reform seems to have
struck a part of the Wood county,
Ohio, field last week, in the form of
a movement to stop Sunday work
on oil wells. An account from
Bowling Green, the county seat,
says that on Monday ten oil pump
ers, working on leases in the vicin-
ity of livingston, were arrested on an
affidavit charging them with violat,
ing the Sabbath by working on that
day. The names of the men were
not reported. They were arraigned
before the squire and entered a
plea of guilty, and a fine of rs cents
was assessed. The costs were re-
mitted except IS cents each to pay
the constable's fees. 1t appears
that a movement is on foot among
the church people to stop, if posi-,
bic, Sunday labor in that locality,

Hung Himself.

Charles Thomas was found hang
ing in tobacco house near his
home on Negro Run last Saturday
morning. He had been to town
the day before and had started for
home late in the evening. This is
the last heard of him until the news
of his death reached here Saturday
morning.
Mr.. Thomas had a fatal weakness
for stimulants, and this is doubtless
what let him to take his own life
He was arrested on Thursday even
ing for being intoxicated, and as it
was the third time he had been up
for the same offense the Mayor as
sessed fine of S. and costs.
He was down town again Friday
with his team and was drinking
pretty heavily. His brother, Bar,
Eey, who lives in town, started
about II o'clock in the evening to
take him and the team home.
Charley remarked on the way home
that it would be the last time his
brother would ride with him, but
the latter did not take the matter
seriously. After taking his brother
home Barney returned to town and
thought nothing more of the matter
until the sad news reached him
next morning. 1t is supposed that
after his brother left him Mr..
Thomas procured a rope and re-
pairing to the tobacco house, he
proceeded to carry out his implied
threat. He had doubtless been dead
for some time when discovered.
His remains were inferred in the

An Explanation.

Some comments have been made
concerning the bill for legal ser
vices rendered by Capt. B, 7. Bow
ers against the city. We are in re-
ceipt of letter from Mr.. Bowers
in which he states the bill is for his
services in the injunction of Giles
pie ct al VS. the city. Mr.. Bowers
says: II have not been paid one
cent on any account of my services
by the outgoing council in the past
year. 1 was engaged in the Giles.
pie injunction cases which were
ended over agar ago and have net
been paid yet and my bill of $3.50
spoken of in your paper yesterday
is for that service. This bill was
sent to council six months ago but
was not acted on. l am informed
that all the other! attorneys who
were associated with me have been
paid"
This will explain Mr.. Bowers
side, and our reporter in writing up
the council proceedings was misin-
formed and lead to make a state
ment not warranted by the facts.
We sincerely regret the error and
make the correction with pleasure.
We know that other attorneys en-
gagged in the same case have not yet
been paid. We think the employ
ing of so many attorneys was the
height of nonsense, but that Is a
matter we are not to be the judge
of. Mr.. Bowers should be paid
promptly.
