A dastardly attempt was made to
wreck with dynamite the home of
James Pendell, at Marquette. Mr..
Pendel has been active of late in en-
forcing the Sunday closing law against
saloon men, and it is suspected that
this outrage is the direct outcome of
his efforts in that line. The dynamite
was placed close TO the foundation at
the rear of the house. All windows in
the rear of the house were shattered,
and some in nearby residences. Mr..
Pendells family of five and two servant
girls were sleeping in the house at the
time, but were uniniured.

wagons and mules, two ambulances

The Report EXAGGERATED.

The report of the accidental killing of
Private Shella of Company A at Stras-
burg on Monday evening, as reported in
the Baltimore Sun from Winchester
was greatly exaggerated and full of err
rors, says the Woodstock correspondent
of the SPECTATOR. Musician Henry
was not in Strasburg, and had been
with the Company since it assembled
here. From what we can learn from
members of Co. A. there was never a
thought of arresting the private who
was SO unfortunate as to be connected
with the affair. The Killing happened
thus: Shella and three or four others
were ON their way back to Woodstock
after spending a short stay in Winches-
ter They were waiting the arrival of
the Southern train. About seven
O'Clock Shella wanted Private Henry
mot Musician Henry TO take charge of
his revolver. Henry did not want the
weapon and Shella tried to push it in
his hands and it was discharged, the
shot entering his face liear the nose,
from which he died in a few minutes.
Captain Magruder was notified and he
ordered his comrades to have the body
prepared for burial and it was taken to
his home in Winchester on the mid
night train.

Wheat Crop in Page.

1t is estimated that the farmers of
Page county bought this year about
5000 tons of fertilizer. At the average
price of $16 per ton this would amount
to $4,000. Three thousand tons would
cover $4,000 acres at $50 pounds to the
acre, and 1000 acres would make 34O,-
900 bushels of wheat at Is bashels to
the acre, and $40, 200 bushels of wheat
will bring $2O4, ZOO at go cents per bush
ell The seed wheat, II bushels to the
acre, would be $4,000 bushels, which, at
80 cents per bushel, would amount to
$4,000. This, added to the cost of the
fertilizer, would make the cash cost OF
our wheat crop, according to these fig
ures, $66,000, leaving $138,0O0 for labor
and use of land. These figures are
given as an approximation only, though
we believe they are sufficiently correct
to indicate the cash balance that oul
wheat crop places OH our general ledger

He Had Chained.

tried to purchase of him each had failt {
to hit him right. A Baltimore syndicate
finally sent lawyer down and the law

old mans peculiarities before bringing
up the land question. He was told thai
he would surely get the land if he prais
ed the Colonel IS war record, one day
he went over fully primed and began:
Colonel, war is dreadful thing, isn't
it?'
Powerful bad, sab, powerful bad, ,
was the reply.
'Bnt it affords individuals an oppor
tunity to win glory and fame. Take
your case, for instance. You went into
the late war as private, l telieve?"
Eyes, sab, as private.
And you came out coonel?"
''Y es sab, kurnel.''
You couldn't have done that with
out being brave mantle bravest OF
the brave. You made a record to tx
proud of forevermore
"Well, did the best l could,' mod
estly replied the colonel.
They tell me-" resumed the lawyer
"that you saved Lees army at Antie

'Mebbe so. mebbe So"
"And you saved Stonewall Jackson al

"And again you saved Lee at Gettys

that land, but l hev changed, sab

"Then, sab, it is no use for us to tall

Stammerinq Saved Him.

'Stammering is not always an afflic
tion. | knew q case in which it was {
blessing in disguise" Thus said a con
ductor on an incoming train for New
York. And he continued:
'There was my friend Dan Buck. HI
had to whistle before be could ask
man for his fare. He used to carry 6
slate, and when he got mad he wouid
write his cuss words on the slate ard
hand it to the man he was mad at. He
saved time by it. Dan had run out OF
Chicago OF about 200 miles. His trair
picked up sleeping cars at some cross
line in Wisconsin when be was coming
into Chicago. 1t was Dams place to
take up tickets In the sleeper, but there
his duty stopped. 1t was the business
of the sleeping car conductor and his
partner to see that their passengers
were put off at the stations for which
they were ticketed.
One day Dan found doctor in the
sleeper who had ticket for the third
station ahead. Dan told the porter and
had no occasion to return to the sleep
er until the station was sighted. To
make sure that the doctor would not
miss his place, for the DOCTORS mission
was one of life Or death, Dan went back
to the coach. His passenger was not
there. He made signs to the porter, who
explained that he had put the man off
at the last station. The porter had so
understood the conductor.
''Dan sat down and filed both sides of
the slate with everything he could think
of that was mean. But when he handed
the slate to the porter the latter said he
couldn't read slate writing. That made
Dan madden, and be broke the slate over
the dorkey's head.
The doctor sued the company, of
course, for $4,000; they never sue for
less. The company, after looking into
the case laid Dan off for sixty days. He
didn't know what the time was. He just
knew he had layoff. He called on the
superintendent to explain more fully,
but he was too Slow in getting his mouth
off, and that gave the Superintendent a
chance to cuss Dan blue and black.
Dan never got in a word, and when the
Superintendent got done. it was time to
close the shop, and Dan had to make a
train which carried him home.
'Dan Was about forty days getting
his mouth in condition so as to tell the
superintendent what he thought of him,
when he got note one day to take his
oidrun, and inclosed in the notification
was voucher for forty days pay. So
You see it isn't always the fellow who
can say a thing quick that gets there. :"
