preliminary examination in the justice

were examined, including Clarence

Kavanaugh at the time of the shooting,
Mr.. and Mrs. Bales and Mrs. Smith,
the passersby who witnessed the deed,

Already several steam plants have
made experiments with the newly de-
veloped oil fou.Al at Beaumont Texas,
as SO far the tests appear to have been
satisfactory. The Jennings Electric
Light and Power company put In the
necessary apparatus for using the oil
as fuel, and began Its use in its large
plant, which supplies the town with
light and power. At Houston also ex-
periments have been made in the same
direction and with satisfactory results,
while several OF the canal pumping
stations I'm Southwestern Louisiana
are getting ready to change their fuel
from coal and wood to oil. II after
full and sufficient experiments it is
found that the Beaumont oil will be as
cheap and as satisfactory in other re-
spects as coal. there is no telling the
extent Of the demand that will be
made upon the oil wells for steam
heating purposes.

A Congressional Boy.

When the congressional ladies of the Hamilton hotel, at the close of their reception, carried the baskets of callers cards to their rooms to sort them out, each found in the col lection a large, square piece of paper, upon which was written laboriously and somewhat on the bias the single word "Jim." Congressman Southard's s promising youngster had been ban ished from the parlor for the occa- sion, and had improved his time by writing his own cards and depositing them in the baskets. There was no trouble in identifying the caller, for "Jim" comes pretty near owning the hotel and the inha bitants thereof. A very little lady with blue eyes and golden hair, arrived at the hotel the other day, and Jim" made the rounds announcing seriously to everybody: ''She's my girl. I'm engaged with her. I asst her mother. ."-Washing Letter.

A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.

Velpen, Ind, June 17.-William 0. B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and who is brother of ex-Representa- tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois counties, has had a remarkable ex- perience recently.
 MT. Sullivan is 49 years of age, and has been a citizen of Pike county for 30 years. For two years he has suffered much with Kidney Trouble and Rheumatism. His shoulders and side were very sore and stiff, and his back was so bad he could hardly straighten up at all. He had palpita- ton of the heart, and smothering which was very distressing. He used three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and is as strong and well as ever he was. He pronounces his cure mir acle. Mr. Sullivan's statement of his case is startling:
 "A month ago I was a cripple. To- day I can do hard days work every day, and have not a single ache or pain"
 Dodd's Kidney Pills have done some wonderful cures in Indiana, but none more miraculous than that in the case of MT. Sullivan.

The onniI snnnIx.


 There was time when quail in con siderable number were taken in this state, but the number of state quail brought to this market has now dwin- died to almost nothing. More comes from Pennsylvania, but not nearly so many as were formerly received from that state. The great bulk of the sup ply now comes from the west. We get quail from, among other states, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, and from Hi nois. We get large numbers from Mis- souri, more, perhaps, than from any other state, and from Kansas and from the Indian territory. While the supply depends somewhat upon the season, 1t is generally ample for all demands, and at prices no higher than formerly.-N. V Sun

Austrian Court Customs.

In the Austrian court it is contrary to custom for perishable articles to appear twice on the imperial table. The result is large perquisites for the at- tendants. To one man fall all nncorked bottles, to another the wine left in the glasses, to another the joints, and to another still the game or the sweets. Every morning a sort of market is held in the basement of the palace, where the Viennese come to purchase the re- mains.-N. Y. Post.

Profitable Orchards,

The Maine Farmer tells of man
in that State who raised forty.four
barrels of apples last year and sold
them for 500. This year he had twen-
ty-two barrels and sold them for $44.
This would be an indication that the
short crop was the most profitable.
but such instances happen only to the
skilful or careful cultivator. The other
sort had no apples to sell this year, and
thus did not do as well as he did last
year when the favorable season caused
even the orchards that had been neg
lected and i'll treated to produce large
crop. And this experience is not linz
tied to the orchards alone. Some have
been so careful or timed their work so
we'll that they have produced good
crops when the prices have ruled high,
and the element of luck is not without
its effect in farming, either. A hot
and dry season may give good crops
when man uses moist land, OF a wet
season when his land is naturally dry,
vet we cannot foresee the weather when
planting, and must do our best with
such land as we have, and take our
chances of the seasons. But the man
who takes the best care Of his orchards
is the one most sure Of a crop. let tile
season be what it will, and the most
sure of having his fruit salable at a
good price, because it will be large IL

worms or scab as result of spraying.

A Mean Advantage.

A story is told of a boy named Jack,
who was quite naughty in school and
was frequently punished. One day
the teacher decided to ask the prnci-
pal to whip Jack. SO she gave Jack
n note to the principal, written thus:
Dear Mr.. Smith: Please give a
thorough whipping to the bearer"
1t happened that German boy, who
had recently entered the school and
knew very little English, was passing
through the hall just as Jack was re-
luctantly approaching the principals
office.
Hello. Fritz said Jack, suddenly,
as bright idea occurred to him. Say,
Fritz, take this in there, please"
pointing towards the office door.
YES" answered Fritz, who was
glad to be of use to some one else.
So into the office went Fritz with an
innocent air. What was his astonish-
ment to find himself cOllared by the
principal, and to see a stout rod brand
ished over his head.
Zach, no, no. cried he, but, alas! he
could not explain in English and the
principal understood no German. So
poor Fritz was soundly thrashed, and
not until the next day did the princi'
pal learn his mistake.
