Tournament Comment.

The Crystal Falls Firemen'S tourna.
ment was not a financial success, bat
socially il was the finest the associa.
tion ever enjoyed. 1t is seldom these
affairs foot up satisfactory from a
monetary point Of view, but there is
an education i'm il which is worth
something to the district as a whole.
III properly conducted these meetings
should be Of much value I'M adding to
the efficiency Of the departments 81
saving their respective communities
many thousands Of dollars annually
by making more proficient depart
ments. The meetings, with their
friendly rivalry, keep alive the proper
spirit for successful departments, and
we hope they will be kept up. We
notice the Hancock department did
not participate this year, giving as Il
reason, according to the newspapers
of that town, that they thought the
association was going 20 pieces. 1t
is such assertions which hasten this
end but there is no sign that there is
any lack Of enthusiasm In the depart
mentS That one or two companies
carry away the bulk Of the trophies is
due to their excellent drilling and
team work, and the further fact that
they stick together, working har-
moniouSly. TO meet them in success

laid dowl and followed 10y other de-
partmentS. The coming meeting at

A PENITENT MAN.
He's Now I'm the Missouri
State Prison..

Mattoon. H., June ,. The
Reverend Arthur a Wilson, pastor
of the Christian Church in this city,
has inaugurated II movement for
the communication of the sentence
of Benjamin II. Morse, an inmate
of the State Penitentiary of
Missouri. from three years to
eighteen m onthS. In this city,
TcTe llautc, Ind, and wherever
Morse Is known, petitions for
clcmcncy are being circulated and
numcrouSly signed.
Morse was convicted of playing
a swindling game, in which Mrs.
Richard u. Bland was one of the
victims. Pending an application for
new trial, he was under heavy
bond and made arrangements to flee
to South America and leave his
bondsmen in the lurch. He stopped
in this city to visit his wife, who
was guest of the Reverend Wilson
and family. Morse attended divine
services. and IA sermon preached by
the Reverend Wilson so touched
his heart that he was convicted
of sin and converted.
The first step in his reformation
was to return to Missouri and
voluntarily surrender to pay the
penalty of his misdccds.

was not the slightest indication of
Il struggle.
Shortly before daylight Mrs.
Sophia Spittlcs, Stacy's married
daughter, who is n neighbor, ran
over ON some errand. Her father
calmly told her what he had done
and the frightened woman rushed
to inform her husband, who i'm
mediatcly ran over to the Stacy
home. Before he arrived he heard
the report of II gun. Stacy was
found lying on the porch with his
head nearly blown off by the con-
tents of Il heavily loaded gun.
He had placed the barrel in his
mouth and pulled the trigger with
his toes.
The litth boy, who was un-
harmed, is unable to give any ac.
count of the tragedy. Stacy was
