CHARLIE JOSEPH SHOT
YOUNG BOY ACCIDENTALLY
 WOUNDED ON PLANK ROAD.
Was out Hunting with Companion, Lester Black, and Gun Dis charged-No Serious Re-
 suit Anticipated.

Charlie Joseph, 1s years old. son of Mir. and Mrs. c. w. Joseph. of Clayton Street, was accidentally shot and pain fully wounded yesterday afternoon at s;15 o'clock on the Plank road, about a mile from Montgomery.
 The boy was shot by a 12-bore shot gun and the load took effect in the side of young Joseph, making very ugly flesh wound. The physicians in attendance say that although the wound is very painful, no serious results are anticipated.
 Charlie Joseph, with a boy friend, Les- ter Black. went out yesterday afternoon to shoot bats Ttey were going to hunt on the Hughes place. several miles from the city on the Plank road. After walk ing some distance. they met a farm wag- on and were given permission by the driver to ride with him. It is said that young Black tossed his gun on the wagon anr the trigger was snapped. One barrel of the gun was discharged. its contents taking effect in the right side of young Joseph. The boy fell instantly.
 His companion was very much fright ened and called lustily for help. A doc tor was summoned and the boy was brought to town as quickly as possiT.e.
 He was reported last night as resting as easily as could be expected under the circumstances.

"Center of the Earth '"

Some eleven miles from Delhi, India, says the Wide World Magazine, stands a remarkable iron pillar. It Is solid shaft of wrought iron, some twenty-two feet high and seventeen inches in diam- eter, and it's origin and age are wrapped in mystery.
 Ancient Hindu mythology says that the spot on which the pillar stands Is the center of the earth, and speaks of 1t as sthe arm of fame of Rajah Dhava." mart of the Second Century of the Chris ian era, and he is referred to in the San script Inscriptions on the pillar, so that, although authorities differ on the subject. 1t is probable that the pillar dates from this time.
 Considering the appliances which were available at that remote period-sOme- thing like 1,SOO years ago-it would be in- teresting to know how this mysterious uillar was made.

OSBORNE HOUSE.

Historic Interest in the Kings Gift.
 Osborne House, Isle of Wight, which last week was given to the British people by King Edward is doubly appreciated by them, because it was one of the favor ite estates of Queen Victoria, says The New York Tribune. It is doubtful if the King could have found a more suitable coronation present. and his intention to make 1t a home for disabled officers of the army and navy meets with full public ap- proval. according to the English press;
 Austerburne, or Easter Brook. as the estate was once called. was held for many years by the Bowermans. an ancient is- land family. There were several owners until. In the time of Charles l., 1t was purchased by Eustace Mann.
 The civil war found Mann with large sum of silver and gold in the strong box of his castle. He considered the woods near by more secure hiding place and buried his treasure. The legend has It that he forgot to mark the spot, and was never able to recover his wealth. His granddaughter and heiress married Mir. Blackford. Lady Isabella Blackford. their descendant, sold the estate to Queen Victoria fin 1S40. It is said that the Prince Consort, King Edwards father, helped T. Cubitt plan the present Osborne House The estate was enlarged by extensive purchases. until it now contains some
 The new house is in the style of Pal ladio There are two striking towers, the campanile. or bell tower, 90 feet In height, and the flag tower, behind the Queen 8 apartments which rises to the height of I07 feet The rooms which the late Queen coupled will be the only part of the house not given over to the public. The garden is arranged in terraces, and ends in lawn, which slopes to the waters edge. where there is a little jetty, used by the late Queen. In these gardens the Prince Consort made his experiments In agrt- culture.
 The council room at Osborne is of most interest outside of the apartments occu- ped by Queen Victoria. It was at a meeting in this room In 1S45 that the Sir Robert Peel Cabinet split over the repeal of the corn laws as relief for Irish famine In the room hangs La3dseers celebrated picture.

Governor William Dorsey Jelks received

Governor William Dorsey Jelks received
 in Montgomery County a majority Of 5ss
 votes over ex-Governor Johnston. The majority for Governor Jelks was secured in total vote in the county of 2,SO0, which is 600 less than was cast in the Montgomery County primary of 1900 when Governor Johnston opposed Senator Morgan. The primary of that year was, however. held in April when all the voters were at home. The primary of Monday was held in the vacation season when many of tine voters of Montgomery Coun- ty were absent on their summer trips. In the primary of 1900 registration and payment of poll taxes were not required, requirements which had their effect on not only the voters of Montgomery Coun- ty, but of all other counties in the State In the city of Montgomery Jelks boiled two votes to Johnston's one. The six city beats were overwhelmingly in favor of the Governor.
 The unofficial returns show that Jelks received in the six city beats ,2So The same beats gave Johnston 667 votes. In the country the vote was extremely close. The two gubernatorial candidates ran neck and neck in the country beats The unofficial returns show that John ston came to the city with fourteen ma iority. The Johnston men had made during the campaign, large claims as 10 the majorities that the Jefferson candi- date would receive in the beats outside the city. The Jelks men were, how ever, active in the country precincts and managed to break about even in the ter ritory that the Johnston men lookeo upon as their own.
 The race for Lieutenant Governor in Montgomery County was much closer than that for Governor. Charles E. Wal Ter ran ahead of Johnston, but he fell
 short of the vote of Dr. R. M. Cunning ham by about 200 votes. It will be re- called that Waller carried Montgomery County for Governor over all other can l didates in the primary of 1900.
 In the race for Secretary of State no

Direct Hal Faces Second Heat in
 2O4L

2.04N.
 Providence, R. l.. Aug. H.-The climax of sensational pacing races was reached in the great Park brew stakes, valued at $10,0O0 at Narragansett Park this afternoon. Ed Geers piloted Direct Hal to victory in three straight heats and the black stallions record was lowered from 2:O6 fiat to 2:O4 1-4. That second heat was the pace that kills. Scott Hud- son made a rush down the stretch with Twinkle and would have beaten any body but Geers. It was such a drive home that Twinkle went off her feet and broke almost under the wire whife Direct Hal won in 2:04 1-4. The last half was paced in 1:O1 fiat, with the last quarter in 29 seconds, Twelve thousand people saw the race and they went wild with enthusiasm. There was slight mix up in the first heat. Scott Hudsons sulky wheel was smashed and he was left out side the flag. He lodged complaint against Geers. but the judges found the latter to be some distance away when fine accident happened. They let Twinkle stay in the race, however. Direct Hal was driven straight out and won the first heat in 2:06 l-2 His most formidahle op- ponent was his half brother, Prince Direct. They teamed to the half, but Geers drove in front when ne wanted that place It was Scott Hudson that tried conclusions with Direct Hsi m the tne second heat, but Twinkle could hold the naca and broke almost at the wire.
