His Gun Exploded.

Last Saturday evening w. Is. Hewitt
OF South Morgan, came TO Versailles
with his younger brother TO secure
medical treatment for the latter who
was the victim Of a gun explosion.
Young Hewitt had been out hunting
with a rife, and having occasion to
shoot at some game, he pulled the trig-
ger. The load failed TO go OIL and the
gun bursted, tearing his left hand in
such a that IL Is feared it
may be necessary to amputate a por.
ton Of the third finger.
Besides the injury to his hand Young
Hewitt received a cut near the right
eye, while the side Of his face was
badly powder burnt, and he came of
luckily that the sight OF his eye was
saved. Drs. Williams and Kelly dressed
tho wounds and consider that the young
man was very fortunate in not meeting
with more serious injuries.

dumped an outfit of the Branch train
which gave our citizenA the impression
that a second detachment OF the Wild
West aggregation had INVADED u city,
with the intention OF sacking the
town. Upon n close investigation we
are glad to say that the members Of
the gang" were perfectly docile and
not in the least backward in making
known their identity and purpose in
thus ~encroaching upon our Plutoric
domain.

Hotel Building for Versailles.

A gentleman, whose name we are re.
not 10 use, was here Monday
for the purpose OF locating a ate for a
first-class, up to date hotel building.
The gentleman ia question looked at
several available corners, including
the residence property owned by Mira.
Addio M. Nelson on the northeast cor
e of Court House Square, and ea-
pressed himself as being positive he
could secure what was necessary for
his purpose.
The gentleman represented q syndi.
cate who intend To erect q four.story,
brick structure with all the modern
improvements which go to equip a
building such AZ is contemplated. II
Is the intention OF the capitalists to SC.
cure the site and begin on the erection
OF this big hotel about the first of the
coming year. This Is a feature which
10 itself mean 0 boom for Versailles
over and sbove every other move to.
ward substantial improvements, and
with the advent OF An electric light
system, q water supply, u clay plant,
and other enterprises developing the
new Versailles is an assured fact.

"lsicher than 0OicOnda."

The following beautiful extracts are
taken from a private letter written to
a friend in Versailles by Rev. David
Cary Peters, who wal formerly pastor
of the Christian Church here, but who
is now In charge Of the Christian
Church at Trinidad, Colorado. The
extracts speak for themselves
"My sermon yesterday evening was
from the subject, "Richer than Col.
conda." The introduction noticed the
cry Of poverty and the usage OF meas.
uring ones wealth by his ledger bal.
ance. And while I approved the desire
TO acquire wealth along legitimate
lines, the fact that the strong moral
character was the greater asset was
emphasized. In spite OF the doctrine
Of total moral depravity, IL was stated
that mar was created only . little
lower than the angela and made to
have dominion over the works Of God.
Mans great riches is found in the fact
that he 10 given an upward tendency,
q religious nature, and that he is given
ample opportunity TO use and develop
these.
MANS intellectual, moral and spir-
itual faculties constitute q wealth that
he ought 10 be glad TO honor by the
highest possible use. Some OF the fool.
ish and useless ways Of spending and
wasting this wealth were noticed, in
fact dwclt upon ut some length, until
there seemed TO be a deep Impression
made upon the audience, and then the
conclusion stated that the work chosen
by the Christ was 70 teach men the
proper use Of these riches that he
might not waste his substance In riot
ons living.
Il am endeavoring more and more
70 appeal to the thoughtful side OF
mems lives. Men we're asked 70 mould
their lives according to the spirit Of
his life, assuring them that no mistake
could be made when this was done"

1t is uniOnism run mad, When
funerals are interfercd WITH as has
been the case in Chicago, of late by
strikers who objected to the hacks and
hearses being driven by non-union men.
Such outrages as the strikers in that
city have perpetrated of late betray
stupidity of leadership, and they are
bound to injure the cause of organized
labor. Whatever the grievances of the
strikers, there is no defence for them
when they interfere with the funeral
services with their lawless demands
and intrude uron the deepest human
sorrow. This interference with
funerals in Chicago hardly comes un-
expected, for the recent strikes in
that city have been a long series of
illegal and criminal acts, which have
brought shame and injury to Chicago
itself, as we'll as to organized labor.
There is a limit, however. and the
policy of violence when the strikers
resort to it, must lose them not only all
popular support, but also the best
element in their membership If
Chicago unions keep up much longer
their program of the past year, their
inglorious dissolution is inevitable.

THE CHINESE EDITOR.
Death Penalty EternalIy Hangs Over
Slant Eyed Journalists.

In Germany the position of Il news
paper editor is a precariOus one. He
must be very careful not to criticise
the Emperor, or otherwise to incur the
wrath of the press censor, or he will
be thrown into Jail and his paper will
be suspended. But in China it is even
worse The offending editor who ex-
presses opinions contrary to those of
the administration is liable to the ex-
IRENE penalty-death in no merciful
guise.
Several months ago preacher OF re-
form in Pekin was beaten to death with
bamboo rods. Later the editors OF the
publication called "Supao'' were charg-
ed with sedition. Their sedition con-
sisted in advocating more modern
methods in the administration of the
government. This brought down upon
them the anger of the Dowager En-
press, who ordered their instant APP
prehension. 1t appears, however, that
the editors had realized the enormity
of their offense, for they sought refuge
in the foreign reservation, where they
came under the protection of the con-
sulates.
The question whether the daring
newspaper men should be surrendered
to the native authorities was referred
to the legations. 1t was certain that
if this should be done cruel and bar
barous punishmentS would follow. The
British consul stoutly opposed giving
the fugitives up, but, for some reason
or other United States Minister Con-
ger sided with the Russian representa-
tive, who wished to accede to the Chi
nese demand. An agreement was
finally reached to dctain the news
paper men for trial by q mixed tribunal.
The trial has not yet taken place. On
nothing more than an accusation the
men have been kept in prison, all bail
having been refused. And now the
government announces that a special
deputy will be appointed to hear the
case, and that this deputy will be in
structed not to be lenient should the
defendants be found guilty. Evidently
the penalty has already been decided
upon, and the trial will be mere form.
All Of Which goes to show that the life
of the Chinese editor is not one grand
sweet song, and that he who incurs the
wrath of the Chinese law is the most
unenviable of rits.-Indanapolis

1t is said that the Democratic
national convention, which will be held
in Washington early in January, is
likely to name q date for the 1904 con-
vention prior to that selected by the
Republican national committee. The
precedent has long been established to
allow the party in power to hold their
convention first, in order that the party
out of power can have better oppor-
tunity to "view with alarm, the
various things which the other party
chooses to point with PRIDE Some of
the more aggressive Democratic leaders
want to break away from this
precedent, and set off the first fireworks
of the convention. 1t is a privilege
which the Republicans will willingly
grant them, if they care to exercise it.
The really important problem before
the Democrats is not the time of the
next convention, but the selection of IL
candidate on that occasion, who will be
the least badly defeated by President
Roosevelt the following November.

Alaskan Boundary Decided.

The recent decision of the Alaskan
Boundary commission upholds all of the
American contentious, except the posses
sion of the Portland canal and some is.
lands in it's vicinity. The decision of
prominent physicians everywhere upholds
the claim made in regard to Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, that it is the best medi-.
and kidney ills. This popular decision is
seconded by thousands of persons who
have been cured of dyspepsia, Indigestion,
headache, billiousness, insomnia, consti--
patton, chills, colds or malaria, fever and
ague. Women, too. join in praising the
Bitters as a tonic regulator and health
builder. Be sure to give it trial,

We spoke the other day, in these
columns, of the feeling of the South
regarding the interoceanic canal.
Later and still more emphatic evidence
of that sections disapproval of the
Democratic opposition to the canal in
the Senate comes from Louisiana,
where the Legislature of that state,
now in session has adopted a resolution
instructing it's two senators, Foster
and McEnery, to vote for the treaty.
The resolution was adopted i'll both
branches without a dissenting vote,
and If the louisiana senators are
wavering between southern interests
and the idea of following German of
Maryland this action of Louisiana
will bring them UP with a sharp turn.
1t is not unlikely that the Legislatures
of other Southern states will in like
manner mark out the plan of the path
of duty of their senators. The South
does not propose to back UP German IN
his blunder and his folly.

A New York court has just refused
decree of divorce to a wife who claimed
that her husband keeps snakes in the
house, and that life was one horrible
nightmare to her. When the snakes
which appear to the husband and
around him are the imaginary kind, a
divorce is seldom refused, if the wife
seeks it, but evidently the learned
Justices of the Empire State think that
real snakes are not a sufficient ground
for severing the bonds of wedlock.
