News Notes from the Busy Marshall
County Town.


General condemnation was expressed
yesterday over the outrage peTpetrat-
cd by several young men Thursday
night. on Rev. c. B. Bruner, Of Sis
tersville, at the corner of Main and
Seventh streets. It was in a different
form, q repetition OF the scenes Of n
year ago during the street car strike.
and in this case was without cause
whatever. unless In Justice to the of
tenders IL might be said they acted
In a spirit OF mischief. But there is
a limit TO mischief, and this anatr was
a lamentnble outrage on stranger
and q minister. Mr. Bruner, who
GANG from Moundsyllle, stopped at the
corner to believer n temperance lecture.
and he stood upon a store box. Some
one placed lighted dynamite cracker
under the box, and II exploded with
terrific force, shattering the DoN 10
spllnters. Fortunately, Mr.. Bruuer was
not on the box at the time, or he might
have been blinded or otherwise IN
jured. To cap the climax, one Of the
crowd-a. self-appointed functionary-
made the minister pay for the de-
stroyed box. II was a dirty piece OF
business throughout, and 1t Is such oc-
currences that gives Benwood an uHeR-
yIable reputation. Benwood's morals
compare faVorably with any town OF

Blew His Nose and His Eye
Popped Out.

Cleveland, o., Feb. 2.-James H.
Flnnigan blew his nose so hard last
evening that he blew his eye out. The
member popped out of its socket and
hung on his cheek by the lgaments.
Finnigan pushed the eye back into the
socket and in doing so carried the eye
lid in with it. The pain was awful. A
physician was called, but he refused to
handle the case. An oculist was then
summoned. Finnigan was then re-
moved to the Cleveland General hos
pital, where the eye was taken out
again and replaced properly. Finni-
gam is now able to be at work The
eye is bandaged. Finnigan said to-
day;
''My physician tells me that l will be
able to remove the bandage over my
eye in day or two. take it off once
in awhile now. do not dare blow my
nose for fear my eye will pop out
again"
The case among oculists is said to
be one Of the strangest ever heard of.

DEAD /
Senator GoebeI's Life Succumbs To
the Assassin's Bullet.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 3, 8 p. NAT
S;O4 p. m. Senator William Goebel
died in his room at the Capital Hotel.
The end came during quiet and
peaceful sleep and the watchers about
the bedside hardly realized when he
stopped breathing.
Senator Goebel's condition had been
alarming all day and his physicians
had given up all hope of saving his
life During the evening he sank into
a light slumber from which he did NOT
awake.
The news of the death of Senator
Goebel was received with expressions
of sadness throughout the city, from
men of both parties, who it seems, are
beginning to realize the terrible situa-
tion they are dealing with. At this
hour everything is quet in the city,
but a violent outbreak may be the
outcome later.

Humors Of BuIler.

The British commander in Natal has
just assured his troops that he still
holds the key to IIadysmith and ex-
poets to relieve It within a few days
1t is true that Butler has the key. But
the Beers are in front of the keyhole
He commands crossings at the Tugela
with several roads stretching away tc
Ladysmfth on one side and to the
Orange Free State on the other. Bull
Ter can bear down upon the Boer right
flank and get around 1t il he has men
enough to repel concentrated attacks
and also to cover the bridges and
roads in his rear. Only few days
ego he congratulated himself on hav-
ing retreated from this opportunity
and without losing a man or pound
of stores. He got Splon Kop without
firing a gun. after planning to carry II
by an assault that might have cost a
thousand men. On occupying the po-
sition he decided he didn't want 1T, be-
cause the enemy fighting outside OF
their works, made 1t too hot for him
There was also something wrong with
the perlmeter of the big hill with its
water supply
Buffers first battle, at Colenso, was
an astounding piece of mlscalculation
and mismanagement The British
army was pushed forward and wen
bravely, but was moved down by ar
invisible enemy The artillery gal
loped onward and took position
within easy rifle range of the Beers
No sooner were the guns Strengthened
out for firing than the Beers cut tht
artillerists and horses to pieces with
rife volleys. All that the British sol
diers could do was to retreat through
zone of heavy fire, leaving the can.
non to be seized by the hidden fot
across the river. Butler is carrying or
an expensive military school, with
himself as the chief pupil. His bull
letins hardly appeal to the sense of thC
serious. His latest advance to tht
Tugela was with a train of 1000 wag
ons. The mounted Boer infantrymar
conveys his own baggage and rations
What Butler proposes now is unknown
but If he gets through without furthei
disasters many experienced military
judges will be surprlsed.-St. Loui!
Globe Democrat.
