HORRIBLE FIND.

One of our citizens few days ago was passing through The forest not far from the Citizens park, when he discovered a sack, evidently contain ing something in it. His first thought was that some thief had deposited it there until night, ex- pecting to return and get it, or, per haps had been surprised aud drop ped it. Closer examination revealed flaw green flies, and a slight smell. Visions of child murder spraDg up in his mind, and he could almost see the form of it's limbs through the sack. He yentured 10 feel it, and oh. horrors, he dis inetly felt a
 round. plump little limb. For a moment he was almost dazed. The sack WAS new and clean, not even
 wet from the recent rain. His first impulse was 10 go and call some one else. But, no, be must first ex- anime it himself. He slowly aud tremblinglY began to turn down the mouth of the sack, when he diseov- cred a dead rooster. He left quick.

Neteors Prefer Morning.

An interesting and significant fact ia that the average hourly number of meteors is only half as great in the evening as in the morning, and in the evening their velocity is lower. says Pref c. A. Young in the New Lippin- colt for November. The reason is that at sunset we have before us the point in the heavens from which we are mov- in in our orbital journey around the sun, while :n the morning we face the point toward which we are ad- vancing: in the evening we are in the rear of the earth, at sunrise in front. This increase in the numbers and speed of the morning meteors is just what ought to happen if they are bod ies moving indiscriminately in all di- rections under the suns attraction, and with the velocity (about twenty-six miles second) which body would acquire in falling toward the sun from a distance very great as compared with the size of our planetary orbits.

Money oraexs That Fail to Reach.

In the course of the last year nearly 50, GOO money orders failed to reach the payees. The number of such cases in creases from year to year, correspond ing with the aggregate business. In many cases remitters hold the orders as receipts; in other cases failure to deliver is due to defective address; but the bulk of the loss occurs through the stealing of letters by persons in the employ of the payees or remitters. Whenever loss is reported, whether actual or alleged, a duplicate is drawn promptly, the issue of which makes the original void In the last year the number of duplicates issued was 46,263, being an increase over the preceding year of 1908.

DAWES COMMISSIONS DIFFICULTY.

Wagoner, June 19 The Dawes commission. it appears, are eXper- fencing considerable trouble in com pleting the roll of the Choctaw na- tion. So many of the full bloods, through ignorance, superstition and fear, failed to appear before the com mission for enrolment on it's first round that the secretary of the in teriot has ordered the commission to give further opportunity for en- rollnent. It will be necessary to send out educated Indians among the full hloods to explain the necessi- ty of their appearance before the commission.

 boy IT years old. q driver by occu. patton. writes Dr. Andrew V. Jova of Newburg and complained of having had a severe cough with approximation for seven years. Last April he said that the cough had been worse for three weeks; he was unable to eat and felt weak. He had a slight hemorr haze a few days before The tongue was thiekly coated. Expeetoration was profuse and fetid. Respiration, A; temperature, 104 degrees Fahrenheit; pulse, 146. Physical examination of the chest showed, on the left side, percussion normal; there was an exaggerated respiratory murmur over the entire lung with slight rough ness. On the dpper side percussion was normal. The respiratory mur- mur was slightly bronchial In the lower part especially over the back and side. percussion was dull, and there was almost complete absence of the respiratory murmur. Two or three nights later be coughed up tack seven-eighths of an inch long, well preserved except that it was covered with ruft and thick. dark mucus On the following morning the respiration was 30; pulse, 100, and temperature, 102 degrees Fahrenheit From over the lower part Of the lung came a gurgling sound and over a eircum, scribed space about two inches in di, ameter eavernous breathing. Three days later the respiration, pulse and temperature were normal. The patient rapidly recovered and soon was able to resume his occupation, but he still coughs little, and there is some dull- ness over the lower part of the lung with broneho-vesieular breathing. His mother says that seven years ago, when he was 10 years old, he swal- lowed tack while playing. He had experienced slight choking sensation at the time, but it soon passed away. He had eoughed ever since, however, and she consulted several physicians. who ridieuled the idea of the tack and told her the boy had tronehitia.- a.-Nsw York World.

MUST PAY UP.
Bankrupts Receive q "solar Plexus''
 in U. s. Court Of Appeals.

The system of evading paymeL of debt by going in voluntary bank ruptcy which the federal bankrupt cy law made possible, received a check ia the decision handed down Monday by the U. s. court of ap- peals to the effect that Samuel Schlesinger, a bankrupt clothing man1fseturer of New York, must eitrer .ag or go to the Ludlow sre4 Il to stay there until he does 44Y,
 Imprisonment for debt is prohib. ited oy a statue of the state of New York, but Mondays decision sets the state law at naught and makes it possible for the courts to fill up the jails with bankrupts.
 It is a sweeping decision, and, of course, applies equally in all states. The federal judges get around the state laws because ruling that they don't send the bankrupt to jail for debt, but because be refuses to comply with an order compelling hlm to deliver the assets of his es. tate to bls trustee itf bankruptcy.

KISSED BY THE QUEEN.
A Gracious Distinction Conferred UpsH
 Brave Soldier.


 To be Knight of the Thistle is a big honor, of course" remarked an old quartermaster sergeant, amidst a dis cussion among some military men at Chatham, says Pearson's Weekly; 'but can claim distinction lots in front of that, or of kissing hands with the queen, as they say of the custom observed by cabinet ministers when taking ever the seals of office. ]" ''You're ehEeking it, mon," observed a stalwart sergeant frae the far north. Well, the veteran non-com. went on to explain, the good fortune which be- fel me was to be kissed by the queen" ar intimation which caused the little party to gather round yet closer You're having us, Jock" observed 8 credulous corporal, and if you want the hatchet say so, for the present holder is fair outelassed." No" the distinguished soldier, as he claimed to be, contended, Git is you that's out of it, as you will see. You may have heard of my being the youngest bugler that took part in the Crimea and such fact secured for me place among the survivors who were inspected by the queen after peace was proclaimed :" When the wounded went by, some in chairs''- Quite so. We'll, was than title faxen-haired, red-cheeked youngster, very small for nay age, and l suppose contrasted a good deal with the worn veterans. When my turn came to pass her majesty asked how old I was, and on replying little over thirteen, at the same time giving quite the best salute possible, the queen said: Dear little fellow, and then gave me kiss on the cheek. So you see how l came to receive gracious dis tinction which from generals down. ward no other soldier has ever been able to lay claim to. That honor's mine alone."

Fourth of July Celebration.

The Citizens Hose Company has come
to the front again this year and will en-
deavor to give the town a credit BILE
celebration on Independence Day. The
company has decided to undertake the
labor and expense of enthusing the
people on this occasion, and the efforts
made in that direction should be heartily
seconded by the civic, social and frater-
nal societies OF the town and vicinity.
Invitations to parade are being sent out
to all societies and organizations OF the
locality and the members can do the
town in general no better service than
by attending the meetings of their
lodges and clubs and having favorable
action taken on the invitation.
The committee of the firemen ap-
pointed to make arrangements for a
successful celebration on the Fourth is
trying to secure an eminent speaker
for the day, and one of the heroes OF the
late war will be secured for this purpose,
II possible.
The parade will take place at 1.30
o'clock and will be followed by picnic
at the Public park.
