Only a moment after the race be- gan three gunshots startled the fowls in the barnyard and Strafenstead fell dead, the other two making their escape and leaving the half filled sacks of corn be- hind.
 Smith and Bates were arrested and were bound over to await the action of the cir cult court. This is said to he the first in- tcrruption to the operation of gang of thieves that has infested the community for some time.

THE ASSOCIATED WINS A VICTORY.
An Injunction Prevented Others From Appro-
 priatlng Its Name.

London, Jan 31.-About one year ago the United Press, a news organization which has since discontinued business and gone into London using the name "Associatsd Press" in manner calculated to convey the impression that it was the headquar- ters of the Associated Press.
 One of the signs was Limited Associated Presses" and at the same time companies were Incorporated in England under the title of "The Associated Press of Ameutca," :" and '"rhe Western Associated Press. " which. since the collapse of the United Press another news concern has retained the u,,arters and signs formerly used by the United Press. This created confusion in the public mindI and the Associated Press filed bill for an injunction to re- strain any parties from using the name Of s'The Associated Press" Justice Ster- nng on Saturday last framed an injunction perpetually restraining the United Press, either. alone or in combination, from using any name calculated to lead to the belief that the United Press was the same as the Associated Press.
 They were likewise restrained from in any manner representing themseives as being in any way connected with the AS sociated Press" and from appropriating a name in which the words Associated Press forms distinct part
 The court also assessed the costs against the United Press.
 The effect of the decision is that no other than the Associated Press' can use the name of '"rhe Associated PresS' in Great Britain or any name that could be mis- taken for It.

Summers Last Adieu.

At twelve o'clock Wednesday night
at midnight, pecisely-the summer
paid us his last adieus. The air had
been oppressive all the evening, and
towards midnight the clouds put on a
threatening look. l believe the sum-
mer must have felt bad at leave-taking
and thu expressed it's sorrow. About
one it began to weep quietly, and to-
wards morn to shed its tears in cop
ious streams; thus preparing the way
for the more genial autumn rays.
We are equally sorry to part with
summers warm waves. 1t comes to
ripen the fruit of the eahtr, to the
uses of the entire animal creation, and
it has this year performed its func-
tions exceedingly well. 1t has given
us abundant harvests of every kind,
and hence we are equally grieved to
part with our warmest friend.
But there is the great consolation of
reunion; it is true many of us may
not be here oattend it, but thoe that
will, will just as warmly welcome
summer as ever; even if it's embraces
are some times too oppressive. Does
the maiden complain of her lovers ar
dor? Not if she loves him truly And
who of us do not love sunlight? 1t
buoys us up 1t makes our pulses beat
warmer. 1t invites us out in the open
air to view natures charms and ma
ture's never-ceasing work.
Into many heart that is filled with
sorrow it brings light ,and conveys
that great lesson that after darkness
there is certain to come some sun
shine; and that while we may grieve
sorely, we should never forget that |
there are sure to be shades in life as
well as sunlight. I.P

much to say of them that the country
has implicit confidence that if they
work away where they are they will
acquit themselves with great credit in
any task to be imposed upon them.
But it is not the part of the hero, nor
of the diplomatic politician, for the
man who went to war for the benefit
of the advertising to be derived from
it to want out the moment the adver-
tising scheme loses it's novelty. Nor
would it be nice and polite for Col.
Bryan, having enticed the men into
the army for his advantage, to resign
and leave them there. If. Col. Bryan
is the man or the soldier he processes
to be, he should take his medicine like
schoolboy, and make up his mind
that to back out is never a recon-
mendation for military man who
was so enthusiastic as he to get to war
after the country had warriors enough
