Two Men Shot on Train.

Ames, Ia. July lS.-A shooting
scrape occurred on an east bound
freight between Boone and Ontario
on the Northwestern railroad about
1890 O'Clock last night In which
two men were shot. Charles J..
'FIeyhern, aged twenty-five, OF Fon
Du Lac, Wis, was shot through the
body and probably fatally wounded
The other, Rudolph Seifert, aged
twenty-nine Of Austria Hungary
was shot In the head and seriously
wounded, but may recover. The
shooting was done by one OF two men
whose names are unknown and who
were in the same fIeigth car with
the victims.
From the story Of the wounded
men 1t seems they got into difficulty
over trivial matter when the I'M
known men pulled their guns and
shot Seifret, His companion went
to his assistance only to receive a
mortal wound through his body.
The wounded men then climbed out
Of the car to get help from the
train crew. After they left the car
the other two men also climbed out,
pulled the air. and as the train
slowed up, jumped off and made
their escape.
The wounded men say that they
never saw the other two men be-
fore, and as it was not very light in
the car cannot give a very good
description Of them, but say one was
"a tail man, the other much shorter.
The wounded men were brought to
AmeS, where they are being cared

The Original Mr.. Soueers.

The thoughtlessness OF writer's in
carcaturing people for grotesque pur-
poses in their novels has been the
cause OF much annoyance and suffer-
ing to sensitive persons. Both Dick
ems and Thackeray snned in this re-
spect. The grossest injury which
Dickens ever inflicted on fellow be-
ing was his too accurate portrait OF
an innocent man In SQueers. That
Yorkshire schoolmasters were, as a
rule. cruel and wicked enough it is
true. But the particular schoolmaster,
who was recognized and who recog-
nized himself as the original OF
SQueers, seems to have been an ex-
ception to the rule. 1t will be remem-
bered that Dickens and his Illustrator

1s much as withdraw his eyes from

the misdeeds of his neighbors.

all the advantage. The conditions could
not be more favorable If they were made

tire corn belt has cut down offerings by
farmers so that even the high price las
failed thus far to bring out a large guam
tity of corn. and last weeks arrivals were
only 131, 900 bushels
There were many conditions in the
wheat market last week that made it
favorable to the bull. The most impor-

How can a bullet puncture a mans
