DIDN'T KNOW / HAS LOADED.
n Y. Turner Receives Ugly Wound
From Discharge Of Shot Gun.
Was Engaged in Cleaning the Weapon
when Tt Accidentally Went on and
the Entire Load Tore Into His
Breast-NOt Dangerously Hurt


At about ten o'clock Wednesday
morningAf Y. Turner accidentally
himself in the breast at a point a little
below and outward from the heart.
The gun was heavily loaded with No. 3
shot, and the discharge made a deep
and ugly flesh wound Had the dis
charge taken a more direct course It
would have produced a fatal wound,
but as it is, Turner is not thought to
be very seriously hurt.
Mr.. Turner lives In the same house
as the Crockford family, and as soon
as the report Of the gun was heard the
CrOekfords quickened by the thought
Of accident rushed into Turner's room
and saw the victim In almost a pros
trate condition.
Drs- Smith and Farrow were hastily
called and dressed the wound
Mr.. Turner, who has lived in Good
land for a number Of years and follow
ed the carpenters trade, is well known
and has justly won the name Of being
an industrious working man.
Tuesday morning MIR. Turner re-
eeived telegram stating that his
mother, who is SO. years Of age, living
in Pennsylvania, was stricken with
paralysis. Upon the intelligence Of
this information, Mr.. Turner decided
to go to his mother, and drew money
out Of the bank to pay the expenses Of
the trip.
Turner lives in a room in the south
half Of the double house Just east Of
the opera house. He had borrowed
shot gun from John Book. With
view Of returning it, he was cleaning
the gun But curiOusly enough one Of
the barrels contained a loaded shell.
The butt Of the gun was resting on the
floor, and at the instant the discharge
was made Turner was wiping out the
empty barrel
No explanation of just how the ac-
cident happened can be obtained. Tur-
ner says that the gun went off while in
his hands, and he cannot account for
the discharge
He is recovering, though the wound
is large and will take considerable
time for its ultimate healing.

orators and it has been paraded with
loud acclaim as conclusive proof Of
the majors magic powers.
But apparently the organs and ora
tors as well as the Railway and Tele-
graph Employees Political league failed
to analyze this precious table. They
are content with shOwing that in 1885
there we're only T55,O34 railway en-
ployes, receiving s445,5O8, 261 in wages,
while in 1899 there were 92s,924 en-
ployes receiving s522,967, s96 in reyes,
an, increase OF 143,s9O employees and
81, ASS, $50 in wages. It is urged that
this shows ample reason why all rail
way men should vote for Mckinley.
But let Us see.
IF you viii divide the amount Of
wages received IN 1895, according to
these figures, by the number Of men
employed, you viii ind that the aver
age pay, including all officials, was
s56L50. That was under the hated
Wilson tariff. It was at the tail end OF
the Mckinley tariff panic Of 1893. Then
divide the amount paid in 1899 By the
number Of men employed and you dis
cover that the average pay was s5612So
1872 less than was paid in 1895.
Yet the railway men are told that
Mr. Mckinley has made them prosper
Gus and that they owe him their votes.

me Ortrin Of Rar Time.


What is rag time, and where did 1t
originate? is a question frequently
heard. The sudden popularity Of coon
songs" which took 3 firm hold upon
popular favor q few years ago, and de-
spite all predictions to the contrary,
have held it ever since, led TO a varia-
ton in music known as "rsg time. f"
Since then "rag time" has been an
expansionist. There is rag time"
music; there are "rag time" songs;
there has been a rag time" opera
There are professors Of rag time, )"
instructors Of rag time, and special
lists in rag time,'' but precisely what it
is no two musical authorities agree,
except on the point that it is some
thing very popular just now One
teacher Of 'rag time" says that "rag
time" takes its initiative step from
Spanish music-or, rather, from Mex
leo, where it Is known under the heads
and names Of Habanra, DANA and
SegUidilla, being nothing but cOnsecU-
tive music, either In the treble or bass,
followed by regular time in one hand.
In common time the quarter note Of
the bass precedes the melody, rag

Migratory Sheep.

In Spain there are some 10, =
900, 900 of migratory sheep which
every year travej as much as 200
miles from the plains to the de
lectlble mountains. - where The
shepherds feed them till the
snow desoends. These sheep
are known a transhumantes,
and their march, resting places
and behavior are regulated by
ancient and special laws and tri-
canals dating from the fourteenth
century At certain times no
one is allowed to travel on the
same route as the sheep, which
have a right to Craze on all open
and common land on the way and
for which a road 90 yards wide
must be left on all inclosed and
private property, The shepherds
lead their hocks, the sheep fol
low, and the flocks are accompa-
MED by mules carrying provis-
ions and large dogs which act as
guards against the wolves. The
Merino sheep travel 400 miles to
the mountains, and the total time
spent on the migration there and
back is ii weeks. Spectator.

market, consisting of grades ana
ten full blood lambs, and topped
the market at IS 50 for the grade

were strictly fat and Of fine fin.

with proper breeding and care.
Our TuniS sheep have exceeded
our most sanguine expectations
since we brought them TO indiana
from the south in 1898. This
small flock OF Tunis sheep found
in South Carolina had been in
breed for more than 70 years aud
had stood the torrld climate there
where all other breeds had been
tried md proved failure. This
line of continued inbreeding has
made them the most prepOtent

rustlers and will live and thrive
where the heavy English breeds

sheep for the sole reason that

Spectacular Production

The performance opened with
grand spectacle, representing
Solomon in His Temple. - This
spectacle was, indeed. an UNDER
taking to produce In a circus
tent. There were several hun
dred people used to properly in
terpret the living panorama, and
a ballet Of about 30 women, be-
sides several acrobatS and strong
men performed before the wise
old king. The ballet was much
better, under he difficulties Of
dancing ON sawdust and grass,
than some that are presented III
theatres, and a number of intri
cate figures We're gone through
gracefully.
The performance Wps a clean
one. nothing Objectionable was
done, and the reputation that was
made by old John Robinson him
self was well sustained.
The menagerie was not the
largest ever seen here, but the
collection of animals was a choice
one. and EN- braced a number of
fine lions and tigers add a herd
OF performing elephants.
Some of the aerial acts were
startling, and The wire walkers,
# which there were three, two
men end a woman, proved to be
the best ever stem in a circus
here. One of the best equestrian
features was that of a lady riding
hare hack with lonp skirts.

SHAW GUILTY
Of Murder in the First Degree
VERDICT OF JURY
Exceptions Taken and Case
Will 60 to Supreme Court.

& TIE TELEGRAM gave the first news
of the verdict in the celebrated Shaw
case to the people of Barre last night
in bulletins posted at the Red Cross
and w. II. Gladding's drug stores.
The verdict was given at 4.45 and the
bulletins were posted at 5.15. Our
specia from Woodstock says the case
went to the jury after very able
charge by Judge LoveIand Munson at
l1.45. The verdict was: "Guilty
of murder in the first degree. -
The announcement of the verdict
was received with little surprise
though there had been some division
of sentiment among the citizens as to
whether young Shaw's crime called
for an extreme penalty fixed by law.
The prisoner heard the words that
may send him to the galows with the
same stoical Indifference that has
characterized his bearing all through
the trial. ''IIe is a second Almy"
said one of the court officers who
knows the prisoner we'll and the
man hunters who have fingered here
till the end of the sensational case
this assertion.
A number of exceptions were taken
by his counsel and the case will go to
the supreme court at the October
term. Many ladies were present at
the trial and sent the prisoner many
handsome flowers. The sentence will
probably be pronounced the last of
this week.
