KILLED ON WEDDING DAY.

A sad tragedy occurred Wednesday
near Maquoketa. Owen Welmar was
expecting to marry Miss Minnie Cads
that afternoon and was already dress
ing for the occasion, when flock of
ducks flew over and lit in a nearby
pond. Welmar was an inveterate
sportsman and thought he would
have time to kill few of them for
the wedding supper, so rushed out,
taking his shotgun with him. He did
not come back, and after some time
his parents sought him and found the
unfortunate young man lying by a
wire fence cold in death, another vic
tim to over-haste and careleness in
using firearms. He ad pulled the
gun toward him by the muzzle and
received the charge in his side. Miss
Cauds was Frustrated by the shock.

DON'T ABUSE HIM.

Editors are first to hear gossip or
scandal. indiscretion of women or
men, things unfit for publication, in
trigues, clandestine meetings. flirta-
tions of married women, night rides,
young gone astray, rumors of married
men and in fact all the neighborhood
scandals. Editors generally know all
the naughty doings in community,
no matter how secret. If one-halt
they heard was published. there
would be divorce, social ostracism
and other woes there would be shot
guns and gore, Imprisonment, lynch
ing, desolate homes, shame, humila-
tion and misery. The editor also
learns much of the hypocrisy of life,
and it is a wonder he believes any
thing on earth or in the hereafter.
People who abuse him often owe their
standing in society to his forbearance.
