Shot In The Leg.

a. f. Billmeyer, the architect and
builder, while out hunting the past
week with the snyder brothers, was
shot in the left knee by stray buck
shot discharged from Alpha Snyder'S
shotgun. 1t happened in this manner:
A party Of six were hunting deer in
the woods near Arpin. On Thursday
Nov. 16, they were all out of camp
except one. Alpha Snyder and Anton
Billmeyer were in sight of each other
about eight rods distant upon StumpS
while the others were driving. A
deer came in sight of BilImeyer and
when he discovered it he found that
the act Of working the lever of his
Marlin rife to get the gun to work
again the deer went by and in sight of
Alpha Snyder who shot the deer.
Immediately after hearing the report
of the gun A. F.felt sting in his right
knee and upon examination found that
he had been shot just above the knee
joint Of the left leg. The direction
Alpha shot and where the deer lay
was not in range Of Anton. The
superstition is that this buckShot
struck limb of a tree and glanced off
the proper angle to hit where it did.
The ball did not pass through the leg.
The following day he came home and
DR.. T. POmainyille tried to locate the
ball but was unsuccessful. The wound
is being cared for and Mr.. Billmeyer
expects to be able to be out soon
attending to his work. 1t was fortu-
nate after all that it did not strike
him higher up in the body.

ADMINISTERED TIE OYSTERS.
CentraIia Fire Company Had Spread and
Hop to Unveil the New Hose Wagon.

Centralia Fire Company Had Spread and
Hop to Unveil the New Hose Wagon.
That late addition to the working
apparatus of the CentraIia fire de-
partment, Hose Wagon No l, was
chriStened in happy style Monday
evening at company headquarters
The baptismal rite consisted of a
liberal internal immersion of oyster
cOnSOmme, and an active panici-
patton in maze of violin music and
dancing, there being large number
Of big folks at the font. The central
figure and cause of this social
demonstration was the hose wagon,
and although 1t seemed to have but
little part in the proceedings, every
one else succeeded in drawing enjoy
mAnt to the limit.
Centralia firemen are more than
pleased with this new wagon. 1t is
much needed piece of utility and
will facilitate their service at fires in
nice manner. To properly express
their appreciation of its receipt, and
show the donors the real spirit of
gratitude, it was planned by the fire
eaters to give spread. Mayor Lyon
and all the aldermen were duly in
yited to the city hall for Monday
night The boys first decided to ask
their wives to the feast. then changed
their minds and thought it best to
have their fun free Of all feminine
restraint.
These arrangements went we'll
The male company had just seated
itself before rows of bowls we'll filled
with delicious oyster soup when the
pop of cork in a catSup bottle
ushered an invading force of the
gentler sex into the feast hall Lo!
the firemen's wives on the scene.
The gathering place had been at the
residence of Mrs. F. L. Rourke and
here was the whole crowd of ladies,
unexpected but complete masters
of the meeting. 1t is said thu t
the coup was SO emphatic that
even the three old stoicS of
Centralia, Emile c. RosSier, Walter
Dickson and Gerry w. Mason. adj
mitted that they were surprised. |
And all the men were excited and
disturbed to the loss of their appetite |
But the girls were treated, a vi0lnist
was procured and genuine jolly hoe
down lasting well along into the hours |
closed the merry chapter of the hose
wagon christening.

switch or ~" Shoes and coffee were
stolen from cases therein. Fred Huey.
aged nine years, was arrested Tuesday
upon complaint of Agent A. d. Hill
and the little fellow was wearing a
pair Of the stolen shoes when taken.
He named his two brothers Eugene

The boys were brought before JUS
tice Cooper Tuesday afternoon for
hearing and all their parents were sent
for. 1t was the expressed wish of the
parents that their children be sent to
the Industrial school at Waukesha in
preference to being held to any trial
or other punishment, SO the boys indi-
vidually plead guilty to having broken
and entered sealed freight car and
taken goods therefrOm. Justice
Cooper committed the young men to
Waukesha until they shall have
attained the aga of q years, the
minimum penalty possible in the case.
1t is in the discretion of the Board of
Control to release the boys on good
behaviour at any time.
There are other similar little gangs
OF mischief vendors i'll our towns that
are coming to like grief sooner or later.

the people who purchase the coffee.
Their plan is to enclose in their one
pound package of Lion coffee a most
attractive Premium list. So costly
are some Of the articles on this Pre-
MUM list that one wonders how they
can afford to give them away with
their goods: but it must be remem-
bered that these premiums are bought
directly of the manufacturers, so that
they are secured at about One-fOurth
the price the retail consumer pays.
No profit is paid to shipper, wholesaler
or retailer; the goods are all bought at
first hand.
This method of introducing Lion
coffee is as if you wanted to purchase
some article for which you would have
to pay Sl.00: the prOprietors of Lion
coffee buy it for you for 25c. and then
give it 10 you for the trouble that you
take in letting them know you are
using their coffee.

Delivery of Mail.

owing to a miScOnceptiOn in the
minds of at least some of the citizens
OF this place regarding the duties of
those in charge Of the post office, in
reference to the delivery of mail mat
ter we deem it but justice to the
patrons and ourselves to call attention
to the provisions Of section 446, Postal
Laws and Regulations of 1898. 1t
provides among other things that
pOStmaSterS may hand out mail to
renters OF lock boxes or other parties
entitled to. receive the same. and
further provides that there must be
no discrimination in delivering mail
matter, only to box holders and not at
the general delivery.
In the management of post offices it
becomes necessary to adopt some fixed
and systematic course, which will not
only expedite the business but also
save time to those wholly dependent
upon the dttendent in charge, for the
prompt delivery of their mail. The
prime object sought by the govern
menU n requiring pOStmaSters to fur
nlSh and equip their respective offices
with lock boxes in addition to the cali
and general delivery boxes was to avoid
unnecessary delay and confusion at
the wicket during the delivery of an
incoming mail.
In making the e rules the depart
ment plainly recognized the rights of
general delivery patrons and holders
Of call boxes as superior to those per-
sons holding lock boxes, by permitting
discrimination in the delivery of mail
to lock box holders only, and not to the
general delivery patrons. While it is
true that the rules regulating all
branches of the postal service are
rigid and eXacting, yet in no case does
the government expect or require their
agents to be considered as common
and subject to the whims and
capriceS of thOughtlesS or eXacting
In support of this statement we
would call attention to the ruling of
the departments on this subject, as
evidenced by Sec. 568, in January, 1899
Postal Guide which says "POStmaSters
may hand out mail from lock boxes.
or drawers and should do so when.
upon rare occasions, the renter of
box has forgotten his key, or through
no fault Of his own he is unable to
open his box, provided they are re-
QueSted or authorized by the renter of
the box to do SO: but they should not
hand out mail to those who have been,
or may be properly supplied with keys,
and can open their boxes. and yet
habitually call upon the postmaster to
deliver it to them.

circulated among our merchants and
retail dealers this week by Edward
Ketchum looking TO compact for the
closing of every business place all day
on every Sabbath and at s o'clock
instead of $50 o'clock ON Tuesday and
Thursday evenings in each week. 1t
is said that all merchants have cheer
fully consented to sign this agree

we were asked to withhold publica-

gets into line. The movement is a
good one, we hope to see it win.
