"Misfortunes never come singly," is
n proverb well known in every Ian
guage and devoutly believed by the
| people of every nation. There seems
something fatalistic in the prompti-
tude with which calamities tread on
one another's heels. One of the
earliest sacred books of the Jewish
canon furnishes an illustration in
point, for in single day the oxen
ana sheep, the camels and other
beasts of burden of the patriarch of
w were swept away, his servants
were slain, his children destroyed, the
messengers following each other so
quickly that hardly was there time for
one dismal narrative to end ere an
other began. But we do not need to
go as far back as the days of Job

That shooting up at Brown S

pot agent killed, rs mentioned IN
the MESSAGE, was caused by guz-
cling beer aud whisky. The agent
was innocent and only trying to do

around the depot. The shooting
causes the Centralia Guard to com
