"Hobsono Bug Here.

The kissing bug has made its appear
ance in this city. Miss verna Sheets, a
girl about thirteen years old, was the first
victim. She was stung on one of her
thumbs, causing it to swell to nearly
twice its size. Miss Sheets lives on
North Pearl street, and was spending the
evening at the home of A. Cornwell
35l n. Pearl street. While there, she
noticed big bug crawling on s window
curtain, and went to pick it up, saying at
the time Pm going to throw it in the
lamp" and about this time the bug stung
her. and held fast until it was killed and
pulled off. Her thumb began to swell and
pain her. Some balsam apple liquor was
put on the sting, and the thumb bathed
with it, giving some relief.
The bug was saved, and Mr.. Cornwell
now has it on exhibition at his store
on n. Pearl street, where it has been
viewed by many persons.

FORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
A Gun Exploded With Damaging Re-
suits.

suits,
Pretty much everybody down town
Monday night was burning fire crackers
and making horrible din. A clerk in
Lambert's hardware store, young man,
named Tuttle, thought he would help the
thing along. He took an old muzzle
loading gun which had not been fired for
perhaps twenty years, and filled her up
pretty we'll with powder, and brought it
out front to fire of. Just as he reached
the door the hammer fell, and there was
frightful report. The gun burst and
knocked young Tuttle down. and the
force of the explosion shattered one of
the heavy plate glass windows in the
Lambert store. Fortunately the young
man was not seriously hurt, though it is
really marvellous he was not killed. His
face was burned somewhat with the
powder,
